This is a respectable gentleman. I’m in the process of claiming an inheritance I made in Burkina Faso (I didn’t even know I had relatives in Africa), and he approached me to offer his assistance which I found very nice.

I sure tha the sudden hacking of your cloud, Emptyng of your bank account and nude selfies ending up on 4chan , right after you gave him your details are just an unfortunate coincidence.

Mr. Peter -

I am so glad George was able to track you down. He has all the signed and notarized forms required for you to release the overdue monies to him.

I look forward to hearing from him that everything is in order.

Yours,  
AK84
