Hello Nigel!
 
  Unfortunately, I have some unpleasant news for you.
  Roughly several months ago I have managed to get a complete access
to all devices that you use to browse internet.
  Afterwards, I have proceeded with monitoring all internet
activities of yours.
 
  You can check out the sequence of events summarize below:
  Previously I have bought from hackers a special access to various
email accounts (currently, it is rather a straightforward thing that
can be done online).
  Clearly, I could effortlessly log in to your email account as well
([email protected]).
 
  One week after that, I proceeded with installing a Trojan virus in
Operating Systems of all your devices, which are used by you to login
to your email.
  Actually, that was rather a simple thing to do (because you have
opened a few links from your inbox emails previously).
  Genius is in simplicity. ( ~_^)
 
  Thanks to that software I can get access to all controllers inside
your devices (such as your video camera, microphone, keyboard etc.).
  I could easily download all your data, photos, web browsing history
and other information to my servers.
  I can access all your social networks accounts, messengers, emails,
including chat history as well as contacts list.
  This virus of mine unceasingly keeps refreshing its signatures
(since it is controlled by a driver), and as result stays unnoticed by
antivirus software.
 
  Hereby, I believe by this time it is already clear for you why I
was never detected until I sent this letter…
 
  While compiling all the information related to you, I have also
found out that you are a true fan and frequent visitor of adult
websites.
  You truly enjoy browsing through porn websites, while watching
arousing videos and experiencing an unimaginable satisfaction.
  To be honest, I could not resist but to record some of your kinky
solo sessions and compiled them in several videos, which demonstrate
you masturbating and cumming in the end.
 
  If you still don’t trust me, all it takes me is several mouse
clicks to distribute all those videos with your colleagues, friends
and even relatives.
  In addition, I can upload them online for entire public to access.
  I truly believe, you absolutely don’t want such things to occur,
bearing in mind the kinky stuff exposed in those videos that you
usually watch, (you definitely understand what I am trying to say) it
will result in a complete disaster for you.
 
  We can still resolve it in the following manner:
  You perform a transfer of $900 USD to me (a bitcoin equivalent
based on the exchange rate during the funds transfer), so after I
receive the transfer, I will straight away remove all those lecherous
videos without hesitation.
  Then we can pretend like it has never happened before. In addition,
I assure that all the harmful software will be deactivated and removed
from all devices of yours. Don’t worry, I am a man of my word.
 
  It is really a good deal with a considerably low the price, bearing
in mind that I was monitoring your profile as well as traffic over an
extended period.
  If you still unaware about the purchase and transfer process of
bitcoins – all you can do is find the necessary information online.
 
  My bitcoin wallet is as follows: 1B33LTOHL4PWRZSJSPZLYJZ6WORWKWNOGE
 
  You are left with 48 hours and the countdown starts right after you
open this email (2 days to be specific).
 
  Don’t forget to keep in mind and abstain from doing the following:
   Do not attempt to reply my email (this email was generated in
your inbox together with the return address).
   Do not attempt to call police as well as other security services.
Moreover, don’t even think of sharing it with your friends. If I get
to know about it (based on my skills, that would be very easy, since
that I have all your systems under my control and constant monitoring)
– your dirty video will become public without delay.
   Don’t attempt searching for me – it is completely useless.
Cryptocurrency transactions always remain anonymous.
   Don’t attempt reinstalling the OS of your devices or even getting
rid of them. It is meaningless too, because all your private videos
are already been available on remote servers.
 
  Things you should be concerned about:
   That I will not receive the funds transfer you make.
  Relax, I will be able to track it immediately, after you complete
the funds transfer, because I unceasingly monitor all activities that
you do (trojan virus of mine can control remotely all processes, same
as TeamViewer).
   That I will still distribute your videos after you have sent the
money to me.
  Believe me, it is pointless for me to proceed with troubling you
after that. Besides that, if that really was my intention, it would
happen long time ago!
 
  It all will be settled on fair conditions and terms!
 
  One last advice from me… Moving forward make sure you don’t get
involved in such type of incidents again!
  My suggestion – make sure you change all your passwords as often as
possible.
