Subject: Assassination Notice
Hi friend,
I have been paid by someone to assassinate you and also ensure that
your family is hunted down. It sounds like a joke, right? But I must tell
you that my boys are watching every move you make and are ready to execute
but are only waiting for my orders.
I have been giving every information about you, so if you run away,
your family will have no place to run to.
I assassinate to make money not necessarily to kill people. As a
business man, I am only alerting you to see if you can buy your life with
just a token of US$300 (three hundred US dollars).Only then will I reveal
to you the person that sent me and every other detail about him.
This is not a trait, it is real and any delay from you to reply will
mean giving me a quick order to my job.
This should be kept confidential, for any attempt to inform anyone will
mean putting yourself in a bigger risk.
My dear, if I were you I will pay this little sum for it is nothing
compared to losing your beloved family. Think about it or face me.
Dan Johnson
