Dear VICTIMNAME,
Thanks for your meail. I do sympathise with that situation. Well, there can be more good people out there too. I will want to know if my personal identification be bring more trust and confidence back to you again.
Let me know and wait to read from you.
Greetings,

I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost ¢G2500 ($5000) in fees to Barrister Eze, I have not yet received the money.
I don't want to get burnt again.
Can I really trust you?
VICTIMNAME
