Happy Birthday Sweetheart! Has been a good year and we have some special things coming up in the next few weeks which will start the next year off well.

Dear in-beloved,

GOd blesses you with many happy births on this day. Pray thee, I hope you will find in your cockles, in joy, that this message finds you will with peace and good will.

I am in writing this to you informally that my son is ill and through NDA tracks in my solicter, found you herein to be his beneficiary to vast stockpiles of South Africa XY GT's.

With unrest in my country one being unable to trancend the funds to yours sincearly in the direct manner, however WESTERN UNION delegatre is generously agreed to your deposit of all birthday transgressions for in order to discover an open shipping account, in which my solicitor can appropriate happy funds for good sir of automotive pride.

Please replay this happy joy message and be god.

Regards,

GSAU
