Simply open the Electrum wallet (or any Electrum derivative, such as Electrum-LTC or Electron Cash), then go to
Tools
->
Sign/Verify Message...
and paste the Message, Address, and Signature into Sign/verify Message dialog textboxes:
then click Verify.
A new message box should pop up to confirm that signature has been verified.

I found this famous message, which came from an old coin holder (2011 address,
held ~$300M worth of BTC in 2017
) in a matter of public interest.
I would like to independently verify it. How do I do that with Electrum?
Message (2 lines, no extra line breaks at the end):
Address 16cou7Ht6WjTzuFyDBnht9hmvXytg6XdVT does not belong to Satoshi or to Craig Wright.
Craig is a liar and a fraud.
Address:
16cou7Ht6WjTzuFyDBnht9hmvXytg6XdVT
Signature:
