Dear Linda,

 Thanks for your response, Hopefully this email will meet you in good health. I'm really excited at reading your email, It's my pleasure to make it clear to you that this transaction will surely uplift our financial standard, i will always direct you on what to do in this
transaction.

 Honestly,I appreciate your interest in this transaction, but I would say that your interest to assist me was rather unspecific following the brief sentences which was contained in your email,as a result of which I am quite skeptical in believing that you could be of assistance to me as a partner however, I would like to be sure of your willingness, trustworthiness and commitment to execute this transaction with me,I cannot afford to compromise these virtues.Presently, I am employed to this bank, from where I plan to finalise the execution of this transfer before I'll resign, with my position in this bank, I am promissing you that if you can follow my instructions in this trasaction, i am capeble of completing this transaction within the period of 14 bank working days starting from the day you apply to the bank as the next of kin to the deceased customer and base on your maximum co-operation and assistance.

 I am of average age, married to a wife, and blessed with three children. The perfection of this transaction has so far consumed a great amount of money from me, energy and is the life line to the future of me and my family, so I do need your assistance in providing a good bank account, your co-operation both morally and financially,your trust and confidence in our ability to finalise this transfer to our mutual benefit, and your guarantee for my share of the money when the transfer has been transferred into your bank account, and my security when I do come to your country to collect my share of the money, so I will want you to think again, and inform me if you will guarantee me of all these.

 Based on my personal banking experience, it had happened in the pass, when a foriegn customer died and after several years there is no body that apply as the next of kind the fund automatically transferred to the bank treasury as unclaimed fund, that experience ignited my thought to this venture.

 Considering the money involved,it is necesary for me to be sure of the person to whom I will be entrusting this transaction,my trust is not given out lightly,I need to be convinced that you are a matured person with some intergrity.

 TRUST AND CONFIDENCE.
I need to emphasise on the need for trust and confidence on both side as the pillar for the success of this business. you need to reassure me that you will not betray me and sit on this fund when it finally comes into your account over there, in other for me to send the contact of the bank and the application form that you will use to contact the bank for the initiation of the claim.

What I expect from you is trust and commitment, I want this large sum of money be transfer to your account over there with your assistance.This is my number you can call me at any time. +226 78 79 12 17
Sincerely,

Mr.Dalami Musa

Since the initial email was to my real email address, I needed to create a new account to move this whole thing over. This is my response

Dear Mr. Musa,

Mr. Musa, I am so very impressed, you sound like a real upstanding family man! Your wife and kids must be so proud of you. I myself am in my fifties; my husband Ennis left me a little over a year ago and now lives with his best friend Jack somewhere out in Wyoming. My daughter is a life coach at the White Castle and I’m very proud of her. We just re-read The Secret, which is why you being in contact is truly a sign. Now if I can only find another husband! I’m teasing.

In response to making sure you are dealing with a mature person with some integrity, I can tell you the answer: Y. E. S. That’s a big yes which is why I used caps lock and periods in-between the letters. In fact, just the other day our town's Asian man dropped a twenty-dollar bill at the grocery store and I told him to hold on sir because I think this is yours. That’s the kind of person I am. Now I could have kept that money for myself for a new Cottage Collectible or merkin, but I didn’t because I believe in helping others and doing good works. Which is why I have decided to give you my support.

And Mr. Musa, I understand you when you say that you don’t give out your trust lightly. Neither do I. But because you are a family man, I believe in you and what we’ll be able to accomplish together. I assure you I am virtuous, trustworthy, and a great listener to boot. And as you requested, I guarantee my moral and financial support in this matter. I will not betray you like my ex-husband did to me.

I really can't tell you how excited I am about this transaction. And as you requested, this will be strictly confidential. I hope you will treat this matter in the same way. Because you are a family man, I believe in you. Please advise me on the next steps here as I'm not certain how you'd like me to move forward with this. Should I provide you with my bank account information or should I open a new one for us? Whatever it is, thy will be done. The sooner the better for both of us, I presume.

I don’t get up to move much lately but I want you to know that after being in contact with you about this, I feel like a new life is coming. I feel like I could walk again.

I live in a bungalow,

Linda
