Subject: Thank you very much
Dear VICTIMNAME,
Good night thank you very much for write me back.
Please Sir i do not need you to send any money here in
Abidjan or any body all I plead is for you to come down here
in cote d' Ivoire so that both of us will go to the security
company as my late father foriegn business partner and
collect the trunk box.
I think this way you will see things for your slef.
Yours
Sarah and Ahmed
