Subject: RE : Your email
Dear VICTIMNAME,
You are not going to pay any money to any lawyer. This fund will be delivered to Europe or Asia by diplomatic means where you will contact the diplomats for the final claim. Thats all.
Thanks for your reply.
I apologize for the late reply.
Last year I received an email about an inheritance in Cote d'Ivoire. Even though I paid almost £2500 ($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?
