I stumbled across this story I cut and pasted below today.
I don’t have *any* idea how I got to it, cause after I read it, I felt like I had just stepped in poop. I know I know……But honestly, after reading the broken english in this email……I would probably just go to the cops with it or reply to it with something like:
Hey Idiot: I get one life here on earth. While I am here, I am not going to let a monkey with a 2nd grade command of the English language scare me what-so-ever. Yeah right put $20K into an account? You’ll take NO and like it you scumbag. Take your best shot pippy! Life is too short to worry about dolts like you.
Love and kisses,
Dawg

Good day,
I want you to read this message very carefully, and keep the secret with you till further notice, You have no need of knowing who i am, where am from, till i make out a space for us to see, i have being paid $50,000.00 in advance to terminate you with some reasons listed to me by my employers, its one i believe you call a friend, i have followed you closely for one week and three days now and have seen that you are innocent of the accusation, Do not contact the police or F.B.I. or try to send a copy of this to them, because if you do i will know, and might be pushed to do what i have being paid to do, beside, this is the first time I turned out to be a betrayer in my job.
Now, listen, i will arrange for us to see face to face but before that i need the amount of $80,000.00 and you will have nothing to be afraid of. I will be coming to see you in your office or home determine where you wish we meet, do not set any camera to cover us or set up any tape to record our conversation, my employer is in my control now, You will need to pay $20,000.00 to the account i will provide for you, before we will set our first meeting, after you have make the first advance payment to the account, i will give you the tape that contains his request for me to terminate you, which will be enough evidence for you to take him to court (if you wish to), then the balance will be paid later.
You don’t need my phone contact for now till am assured you are ready to comply good.
Lucky You.
