Subject: mr.amarjit.singh,Very Urgent.
Dear Mr.VICTIMNAME.VICTIMNAME,
How are you doing today,I hope you are doing okay with your family in london.
I have been worried as i did not hear from you again on how we can achieve this great goal.
Hope you received a copy of my identity and my late boss identity as well?
I am very sorry about your experience with Barrister Eze as you mentioned in your letter to me and i can assure you that everything will work out fine and i need you to be honest with me too.
Please i need you to send me your full contact details so that i can send them across to the bank where the said fund is presently deposited.
It would be my pleasure to inform you that i am really relying on you on this whole transaction as i am just an ordinary Orphan with no one to help so i beg of you not to dissapoint me as soon as the funds gets to your account.
Best Regards,
Julien Kodila
