Hello
I am very sorry for you is a pity that this is HOW YOUR
LIFE is going to end, as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no
need of introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you, My
duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have
already been paid for that.
Someone you call a friend wants you Dead by all means,
and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the person also came to us and
told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name ,picture and
other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track
you down and they have carried out the necessary investigation needed for the
operation on you, and they have done that but I told them not to kill you that I
will like to contact you and see if your life is Important to you or not since
their findings shows that you are innocent.
I called my client back and ask him of your email
address which I didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me
and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my men are
monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.
Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us
to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your
life, $15,000 is all you need to spend You will first of all pay $8,000 then I
will send a tape to you which i recorded every discusion i made with the person
who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the remaining
$7,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job
straight-up.
WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN
TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL
