“Hello, This is Idris Hassan from Irag, i am an assasin. i was paid to carry out a job on you with immediate effect, that is to assasinate you. Your life is in my pams now, i want to make an offer to you with the short time left. If you can come up with more that what I was paid, then you will have your life back, if not i will complete my mission. You have five days to give me a positive reply ok. and meanwhile be careful on whose toes you step on. You have 5 days to come up with $25,000.00 or i complete my mission and head back, my men think am wasting time. Idris Hassan”
