Subject: What you have to do now
Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
Thank you for replying to my mail, i am so glad that you respond and willing to assist me in acomplishing my will, i pray to almighty God that you will not surfer in your life or have such an experience that i am having now, it will be well with you all in your life and i pray that what ever you lay your hands on shall prosper.
Well, my good friend, regarding to what you have just said, if this is a spam or real thing, i will tell you that it is real and never a spam or scam do you call it, i will beg that you bring out your mind and take up this project for me as i know that my God will give you the grace and the resources to be able to acomplish this on my behalf.
My dear friend it was a terible situation that i find myself, but before i die, i will want you to claim this money and distirute it according to my wish.
What i will want you to do now is to forward to me the following informations to enable me use it and present to the company where i deposited the fund to enable them contact you and let you know the step you will take in oder to get the claim or stand as the new beneficiary to the claim.
The informations you need to send are your full name and address or any name you will like to use for the claim, your direct telephone number where you will want the company to be contacting you thruogh. this is all i will need for now. but if it is possible you tell me more about yourself so that i will introduce you properly to the company.
I will call you briefly on the telephone number as soon as you send it to me, although the doctor does not allow me to talk on phone unless whent it is very necessary or i demand for that, for now there is no available telephone number where you can reach me because i am always be monitored because the doctor want me to relax myself always to see if i can live a little bit longer, but do not worry if you did not hear from me but make sure you carry out the duty as i a have adviced but any time i have a way to call you , i will call you.
Make sure you coperate with the security company and follow up according to their instruction, but i pray i will not die.i have a nurse who alway check my lap top, any time i have a message she will let me know and i will try my best to respond back. but if i have not respond , do not worry , go ahead and do what i ask you to do.
The information is very important so that i will introduce you to the security company immediately without any further delay, i will also contact them to find out if i should furnish you with their informations for you to contact them directly.
Thank you and remain blessed and do not hesitate to email me back if you have any further question.
Bye for now.
Lawson.
