Subject: FROM GILBERT BOB GREETINGS
Dear Madras House,
Thanks for your mail.
I hope you had a nice season celebrations?
I wish you a happy and prosperous new year.
I need your assistance to help me relocate with my inheritance successfully transferred through your bank account.
For over 3 years now, there has been a gruesome war in this country which have witnessed unprecedented killings in modern history, and there is no end on sight, that is why I want to relocate while I still have the chance.
Please oblige me with your telephone number for easy communication and more detailed discussion.
I look forward to hear from you today.
Kind Regards,
Gilbert Bob,
