This is the only way I could contact you for now, I want you to be
very careful about this and keep this secret with you until I make out
space for us to see. You have no need of knowing who I am or where I
am from. I know this may sound very surprising to you but it's the
situation. I have been paid some ransom in advance to terminate you
with some reasons listed to me by my employer. He has provided us with
your name, picture and other necessary information's we needed about
you such as,
Your Name: [removed]
Your Address/where to find you: [removed]
Your Cell Phone Number: xxx-xxx-xxxx
Your Picture: Not to be said.
It's someone I believe you call a friend, I have followed you closely
for a while now and have seen that you are innocent of the accusations
he leveled against you .Do not contact the police or try to send a
copy of this to them, because if you do, I will know, and I might be
pushed to do what I have been paid to do. Besides, this is the first
time I turn out to be a betrayer in my job. I took pity on you, which
is why I have made up my mind to help you if you are willing to help
yourself. Now listen, I will arrange for us to see face to face, but
before that, I need $12,000. To pay off cover, I will come to your
home or you determine where you wish we meet; I repeat, do not arrange
for the cops and if you play hard to get, it will be extends to your
family.
Do not set any camera to cover us or set up any tape to record our
conversation, my employer is in my control now. Payment details will
be provided for you to make a part payment of $5000 first, which will
serve as guarantee that you are ready to co-operate, then i will post
a copy of the video tape that contains his request for me to terminate
you which will be enough evidence for you to take any legal action
against him before he employs another person for the job. You will pay
the balance of $7000 once you receive the tape.
WARNING: do not contact the police, make sure you stay indoors once it
is 7.30pm until this whole thing is sorted out, if you neglect any of
these warming, you will have yourself to blame.
You do not have much time, so get back to me immediately Note: Do not
any other party in this, not even a friend or a family member should
know about it. Beware!
