Scammer Threatens Lives, English Language

Lance James of Secure Science Corporation got a hold of a new variant on the "hit man" advance-fee e-mails the FBI warned us about in January, in which the writer pretends to be an assassin hired to kill you, and offers you a side deal to spare your life.

In this version, the scammer takes things up a notch by offering, for a fee, to kill the anonymous enemy who put the contract out on your life. I only hope enough people fall for this scheme that he can afford to hire a proofreader.

Hello (redacted),

I wish to let you know that i have been paid by a client to assasinate you at convinience, and i have signed a contract of $250,000 yesterday for this. I have never met you before, but they gave me the full description of your identity and contact, together with your photograph which my boys have used to trace you.

The reason why they want you Dead is not disclosed to me as i was not allowed to know, but you are now not better that the dead ok. con mi sangre

My BOYS are now contantly watching you, they are following you anywhere you go and they are waiting for the instruction to terminate you.

I used the contact the client gave me to source for your email from the public email directory so that i can get you informed that you will be killed

This is my message to you.

LISTEN VERY WELL !!!!. I just contacted you because i want to negotiate with you. If i can arrive at a reasonable conclution with you i will not kill you, but i will kill my client!!!!....you have to understand that this decision is very risky to my organisation and my life, because my client is not better that a phyco,you have to understand.

I am not supposed to have any business with you but at least i have cleared the way for us to negotiate the terms so that if you can pay me well i will kill your enemy, and you will have a chance to live again.
