Dear Alice
Am so glad that you are a spiritual person and i appreciate the trust you repose in me, but as a righteous person i would like to see evidence "no matter how small" of your claims and i would guarantee you that your funds would be effectively managed and i would do all that is necessary to facilitate your coming over to Italy. Personally i am very courteous in dealing with people i dont really know, but in your case something tells me you are genuine, but i would like to see evidence for me to be 100% sure that you claims are real.
stay blessed Alice

Dear Massimo,
Thanks for your mail and for your assurance that you are going to manage my money well and that you will help me to come over to Italy for our mutual investment there.
Based on your request, I have attached the legal deposit document which the security company issued to my late father as of proof what I am telling you with my I.d card here.
For your information, I want you to know that my late father deposited the money as family valuables for security reason and the security company does not know that the box contains money.
In your return mail you should kindly send me your full contact information which I will submit to the security company for them to contact you for a way forward. Please you should keep this document very confidential .
Awaiting your response.
Thanks and God bless.

Alice Kone.
