Re: Expecting To Hearing From You Soon

Good day to you, Cynthia
I hope this email greets you on a most pleasant and wonderful day and you can endure for just a little bit longer and turn away the endless trains of your faceless woes.
Be ye assured my dear that it is far beyond me to betray one in distress. As the Captain’s Creed to which I have sworn states: if a vessel is shipwrecked, you are to remain with those in need until another vessel can be procured for them to return them to the mainland in safety. I will admit that though we are not at sea, you are indeed a shipwrecked vessel of sorts, in need of my assistance to help you return to safety and as such, it is beyond me to abandon you to the wiles of nature and the unpredictable course of come what may, nor can I leave you in your moment of need, your hour of distress, clutched deep in the jowls of danger.
And so it is with this in mind that I feel I must take you under my wing to protect to you from the savage predators that roam the halls of this ghastly thing we call the internet. It concerns me greatly that only after one communication with me you have sent me a copy of your National ID card, thus exposing yourself to many an untold danger. If I were not an honest man, I could use the information contained on that card for a variety of nefarious activities, the least of which to find out where you live. It is fortunate for you though that I am not such a cretin who preys on the naive and innocent who are oft to be found on the internet and that I am the Captain of the sea vessel “Orca”.
I would ask that in the future you would be a bit more careful with transmitting such sensitive information over the internet. I fear that if you are this reckless at this point that it may jeopardize our ability to see this transaction through to its end. Though I certainly can understand you urgent desire to see this situation through, I beg you to please be more careful in the future, you are far to young and beautiful to be putting yourself at such risks.
With that said, I was hoping that you could please fill me in a bit more on the circumstances that lead you to be in the situation that you currently are and if you could please give me more details on how this transaction is to be executed. Admittedly, this will help put my mind at ease as I eagerly want to help you get your life back together and see that you get what is yours.
I am attaching several photos. One is of a recent fishing trip with me and my two friends, Martin and Matt. I am the one on the upper right commanding control of the vessel, which of course makes sense since I am the Captain. The other is of me taken during a most wonderful sunset on Lamu Island. I share these personal photos with you in hopes that you will see and believe that I am sincere in my desires to assist you in this endeavor. If you are willing I would very much appreciate a few less official photographs of you also.
Please, get back to me as soon as possible with more information so we can start you onto the ever so important and much deserved road to recovery. I apologize if I come across as a bit distrusting, but I am sure that you will agree with me that in this day and age one can never be to careful.
With great anticipation I await your response.
Sincerely,
Captain xxxx xxxx
