Email #2, from Cameron:

Dear <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Thank you for reaching out to me regarding the compensation payment from the U.S. Fund Comptroller’s Office. I am absolutely thrilled to hear that my remaining fund of $136 million has been approved and is ready for payment. This comes as a pleasant surprise!

I want to assure you that I am committed to fulfilling all requirements necessary to receive this substantial amount. I understand that a fee of $50 is required to secure the affidavit claim certificate. I wholeheartedly agree to pay this fee so that we can proceed with the finalization of the payment.

In terms of the payment method, I have decided to opt for the certified check option. I believe receiving the certified check personally at my home address would be the most convenient option for me. Please arrange for the delivery of the check at your earliest convenience.

Now, I understand that you prefer the $50 fee to be paid in the form of an Apple iTunes gift card. I will gladly purchase the gift card and provide you with the necessary information. However, I have a small request. Since this is a significant payment, before I make my purchase, I would appreciate it if you could also provide me with an Apple iTunes gift card of equal value as a gesture of goodwill. I believe this would further strengthen our trust and ensure a smooth and secure transaction.

Following your provision of a $50 card to me,  I will also purchase a $50 card and promptly send you a picture of it for confirmation. I understand the importance of expediting this process, so you can rest assured that I will take immediate action.

Thank you once again for this incredible opportunity, and I look forward to concluding this transaction swiftly and successfully.

Best regards,

Cameron McCaffrey
