_________________________________________
HELLO WHAT EVER YOU CALL YOURSELF​

I am very sorry for you Xxxxxx, is a pity that this is how your life is
going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see there is no need
of introducing myself to you because I don't have any business with you,
my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as
I have already been paid for that. Someone you call a friend wants you
Dead by all means, and the person have spent a lot of money on this, the
person also came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided
us with your name ,picture and other necessary informations we needed
about you. So I sent my boys to track you down and they have carried out
the necessary investigation needed for the operation on you, and they have
done that but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you
and see if your life is Important to you or not since their findings shows
that you are innocent.I called my client back and ask him of your email
address which I didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it
to me and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing to you now my
men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you. Now
do you want to LIVE OR DIE? As someone has paid us to kill you. Get back
to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your life, $11,000 is
all you need to spend You will first of all pay $6,000 then I will send a
tape to you which i recorded every discusion i had with the person who
wanted you dead and as soon as you get the tape, you will pay the
remaining $5,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on
with my job straight-up. WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR
EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW.REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU
VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE
SOMETHING FUNNY.DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7:pM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO
SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF MY DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT
YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I
AWAIT YOUR REPLY
YOU ARE TO REPLY TO jameslatus@gmail.com

Wow! That's definitely an eye opener! A good reason to get serious with it! I get all kinds of junk mail, I think it's because I keep getting played along by Publishers Clearing House, whenever you respond to them :rolleyes: I've also gotten a lot of these "You've won the UK lottery! just give us your info" Or a "Sharing the Will" carp! anyway, I'm glad you contacted the proper authorities, I'd like to do that myself, but Don't know who to contact?

That would be southern Africa ..... S. (or South) Africa is a country. That said, Ghana is actually in central Africa, along the southern coast of the "hump" on the western side of the continent.

At least he didn't ask for your SS#, bank account #s, etc.

The use/misuse of English is a dead giveaway.

Hmmm, seems to me there were a couple of S. African blokes that posted here ... There was/is one who's name escapes me right now (must be the old age thing) but if I am correct, and I usually am ;), he did some boat modifications for runners ... Liked his RIB's ... better be careful there ... :D

I still say it is probably some Nigerians - either based out of, or using an email address from, South Africa.

Glad you reported it!

It made me want to kill myself just trying to read it. :confused: :mad: Funny how the guy knows every thing about you, but needed the person who "wants you dead" to furnish an e-mail address. :rolleyes:

Re: This is getting serious now

Uhhhh ummmmm I have to give the person credit for being original.... it can be scary and it represents the society we are becoming.

I may have gotten one but my spam filter is not too bad.... if one sneaks in I mark it and trash it.
