Attn,
I am very sorry for you, is a pity that this is how your life is going to end as soon as you don't comply. As you can see we are the members of the Deadly Networks in the world, which is responsible for the bombing of twin tower's in America on Sept. 11th and the bombing of London transport services on July 7th (AL-QUAEDA NETWORKS), I don't have any business with you, my duty as I am mailing you now is just to KILL you and I have to do it as I have already been paid for that.
Someone whom you called your friend wants you dead by all means, and this person have spent a lot of money in this venture, This person came to us and told me that he wanted you dead and he provided us with your name, picture and other necessary information's we needed about you. So I sent my boys to track you down this including bugging of your phones with satellite tracking devices and they have carried out the necessary investigation we needed for the operation on you, and if you doubt this information am going to give you all the necessary information about you back to you in your next reply so that you can believe me, and my boys are really on you but I told them not to kill you that I will like to contact you and see if your life is important to you and the one of your family. I called my client back and ask him of your email address which I didn't tell him what I wanted to do with it and he gave it to me and I am using it to contact you now. As I am writing you this mail my men are monitoring you and they are telling me everything about you.
Now do you want to LIVE OR DIE? Since all program has be made and draw to kill you. Get back to me now if you are ready to pay some fees to spare your Life, $15,000 is all you need to spend in this process you will first of all Pay $8,000 and then I will send a tape to you which I recorded in every discussion I had with the person who wanted you dead and as soon as you get the Tape, You will pay the remaining balance of $7,000. If you are not ready for my help, then I will carry on with my job straight-up.
WARNING: DO NOT THINK OF CONTACTING THE POLICE OR EVEN TELLING ANYONE BECAUSE I WILL KNOW ,REMEMBER, SOMEONE WHO KNOWS YOU VERY WELL WANT YOU DEAD! I WILL EXTEND IT TO YOUR FAMILY, INCASE I NOTICE SOMETHING FUNNY ABOUT YOUR TELLING THE SECURITY ABOUT IT BECAUSE A GOOD LOOK IS OUT YOU AT THE MOMENT. DO NOT COME OUT ONCE IT IS 7PM UNTIL I MAKE OUT TIME TO SEE YOU AND GIVE YOU THE TAPE OF ALL DISCUSSION WITH THE PERSON WHO WANT YOU DEAD THEN YOU CAN USE IT TO TAKE ANY LEGAL ACTION. GOOD LUCK AS I AWAIT YOUR REPLY
We have friends in the right places, Jim. Let them deal with it...
These guys went to the P.T. Barnum school of business.
Psht. deadly killers in 2001 maybe. But certainly not since then. What kind of a real deadly killer wouldn't update their email address for, like, SEVEN whole years?
Clearly a poser.
:-)
Oh yeah, I heard about this on the news last week. Latest internet scam, rather like the Nigerian bank scam.
This looks like a job for the Republican ex football player in Kentucky. I believe Couch was his name. These bullies need to be stopped, and made to post in their real names.

Google didn’t launch Gmail until 2004, so the account was NOT created in 2001.
BTTT
Entering parts of the letter into Google gives a ton of hits.
Here’s the first one: http://www.scamorama.com/killer.html
One thing I would do is forward it to Google’s abuse team, as I’m sure they’ll want to shut down the email. Other than that, toss it, as it appears to be phishing spam.
Sorry you had to get it, though. Yucky.
I understand your point and actually chuckled when I read your post, but true death threats are not laughable matters.
It's been over 15 years, but the death threats I received because of a position I had taken on a piece of legislation were not funny. I was single at the time and my then boyfriend (now husband) gave me a handgun and arrangements were made for me to be escorted home every night after the legislature adjourned.

NEW TWIST CONCERNING THREAT AND EXTORTION E-MAILS
01/09/07—There is a new twist to the IC3 alert posted on December 7, 2006 regarding e-mails claiming that the sender has been paid to kill the recipient and will cancel the contract on the recipient’s life if that person pays a large sum of money. Now e-mails are surfacing that claim to be from the FBI in London. These e-mails note the following information:
An individual was recently arrested for the murders of several United States and United Kingdom citizens in relation to this matter.
The recipient’s information was found on the subject identifying the recipient as the next victim.
The recipient is requested to contact the FBI in London to assist with the investigation.
It is not uncommon for an Internet fraud scheme to have the same overall intent but be transmitted containing variations in the e-mail content, e.g., different names, e-mail addresses, and/or agencies reportedly involved. See our related top story on the hitman scam.
Please note, providing any personal information in response to an unsolicited e-mail can compromise your identity and open you to identity theft.
If you have experienced this situation please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
Due to the threat of violence inherent in these extortion e-mails, if you receive an e-mail that contains personally identifiable information that might differentiate your e-mail from the general e-mail spam campaign, we encourage you to contact the police.
E-MAILS CONTAINING THREATS AND EXTORTION
12/07/06—We have recently received information concerning spam e-mails threatening to assassinate the recipient unless the individual pays several thousand dollars to the sender of the e-mail.
The subject claims to have been following the victim for some time and was supposedly hired to kill the victim by a friend of the victim. The subject threatens to carry out the assassination if the victim goes to the police and requests the victim to respond quickly and provide their telephone number.
Warning! Providing any personal information can compromise your identify and open you to identity theft.
If you have experienced this situation, please notify your local, state, or federal law enforcement agency immediately. Also, please notify the IC3 by filing a complaint at www.ic3.gov.
The key to those is that it hides while you are surfing (porn, etc.), start interfacing and it becomes difficult at times.
Are we all supposed to start posting our spam here now? Then it takes up twice as much bandwidth. Seriously, why is this news?
I think someone criticized the e mailer’s grammar on one of his posts.
then who got ZOTTED a little while ago? :o)
A contract killer and an email liar all in the same crazy scheme?
Is there nothing sacred anymore?
Yeah, thats how hitmen work. They tip you off and leave an e-trail.
Forward this info to the FBI
I like how they say that they are monitoring you phone and email, and then this guy sends an email in order to blackmail the listeners.
