The concept of Fear is an abstract notion pertaining to the emotion many human beings encounter at moments when unknown or imaginary forces are suspected of being instruments of harm. This emotion occurs in most human beings as an involuntary response and is considered by anthrolpologists and psychologists to be akin to other such emotions as love, hate, envy, hunger, thirst, sexual desire and the craving for sweets. It is therefore termed a primitive emotion, somewhat like an instinct in the lower animal species.
To fear something is to have an uncontrolled response to it in the form of dread or trepidation.

FIRST, PLEASE DO NOT TELL ANYONE ELSE ABOUT THIS REQUEST. THIS IS IMPORTANT.
WE HAVE NO CONNECTION OF ANY SORT TO A CONTRACT REVIEW PANEL FOR THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA, BUT WE WISH TO REPRESENT OURSELVES IN JUST SUCH A WAY. NIGERIA’S RECENT POLITICAL AND MILITARY HISTORY PRESENTS A BACKSTORY WHICH MAY MAKE OUR REQUEST FOR MONEY RELATIVELY PLAUSIBLE IF NOT SUBJECTED TO SCRUTINY.
BECAUSE OF RECENT CHAOS AND CORRUPTION IN RECENT NIGERIAN POLITICAL ADMINISTRATIONS, IT IS CONCEIVABLE THAT NIGERIAN FUNDS WOULD HAVE BEEN MISDIRECTED AND NOW DIFFICULT TO RETRIEVE. IMAGINE THAT YOUR ASSISTANCE IN RECOVERING THESE FUNDS FOR THE CURRENT NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT WOULD PRESENT YOU WITH THE OPPORTUNITY TO KEPT A PORTION OF SAID FUNDS FOR YOURSELf.
FURTHER SUPPOSE THAT IN ORDER TO COLLECT THIS CAPITAL, YOU WOULD FIRST HAVE TO ESTABLISH A BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP WITH US BY WIRING A RELATIVELY SMALL AMOUNT OF MONEY TO A THIRD PARTY, AND THAT SUCH A TRANSACTION WOULD BE 100% SAFE.
HOPEFULLY BY THIS POINT THE PROSPECT OF UNEXPECTEDLY COMING INTO A SMALL FORTUNE HAS BLINDED YOU TO THE ABSURDITY OF SUCH A PROPOSITION. IF SO, PLEASE RESPOND POSTHASTE. WE HOPE TO PART YOU FROM AS MUCH OF YOUR MONEY AS WE CAN IN SEVEN (7) DAYS OR FEWER.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.
DR CLEMENT OKON
PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS NOT MY REAL NAME.
