Dear John,
I will leaving for a religious retreat with my church for one week and will not return until October 3rd. I will not be permitted to contact anyone during this time. We will be praying and discussing our relationship with Allah and Muhammad. I will contact you as soon as I get back.
I also have limited finances, but I believe I can raise some money to help us continue if this is necessary. My mother, Deion, recently told me that my father, Brutus Ray, has just sold his company that manufactured industrial cotton swabs and they received a substantial amount of money. My father and I haven't spoken for 2 years. He was very upset about my conversion to the Muslim faith. I am hoping that I could borrow some money from him, but I'm not sure if he would lend me any. I'm sure there must be a way for us to make this transaction successful.
May Allah be with you.
Your Friend,
Reggie

To: Reggie BodineMy Dear Friend Reggie,
Thanks for your mail.I am happy to understand that you will be attending a religious retreat with your church (Muslim Temple Of Aledo) which I believe that you will also commit this our transaction into prayer.
I am also worried because I believe that we need to provide all the required documents to the Global Bank to enable them commence the processes for the release of the inheritance claim to you before you return on October 3.
I felt little worried because I am not quite sure if I can be able to secure the required documents hence I have only the sum of Us$3,800 with me at the moment and I am aware that the required documents will cost up to Us$4,000.
Honestly speaking,I have just finished payment of school fees for my 4 children which 2 of them is studying at the secondary school levels.This is the reason why I did not have this small amount of money with me knowing very well that education is very costly here in Africa.
Please I will like to seek your conscient to try and assist me with the sum of Us$200 to enable me join with my Us$3,800 and secure the required documents and submit to the bank on your behalf while the copies will be forwarded to you also through e-mail attachement for your record purposes before you return on October 3rd.
I will advise you to send the Us$200 through western union money transfer attentioned to my personal assistant with name and address as follows:
Name:Mr Okoye Chijioke Martins
Address:Suite 408 Eleganza Plaza Apapa,Lagos-NigeriaPlease send the money and forward the money transfer informations to me through my email to enable me send my personal assistant to the western union office here to get the money for me.
Thanks a lot for your kind attention.May God bless you.

Hi My Friend John,
I'm sorry I wasn't able to get this email before I left for our Muslim Temple Of Aledo religious retreat. We really had a phat time and Bunnie and I feel like we have really gotten a lot closer to Allah. We also started getting ready for the annual "Muslim Soap Box Derby" competition for our children. This is held each October and coincides with out month long celebration of Festivus in Texas. Festivus celebrates the Texas liberation from Canada, led by their commander Wayne Gretzky, in the "Battle of the Alamodome" in 1836. I'm also very curious about local holidays in other countries and would like to know about any special celebrations planned for your country in the near future.
We also started a new charity through our church, The Human Fund, and got it going by taking donations from church members. Bunnie and I are excited about this and gave a generous amount of money for this charity drive. Unfortunately, this was the only extra money we had and I don't have $200 to send you now. Do you have any family or friends that you could borrow this money from until I have additional money to send to you? If I have to, I will approach my father about borrowing some money. My mother said that Brutus Ray is still mad at me, but deep down is uber caring about his family.
Your Friend Reggie
