Nonetheless, it does not have to be that way. I would like to make you a one time, no negotiable offer. Buy $ 2000 in bitcoin and send it on the down below address: 1LDL1EDC57apVx96aZtHKx*tC9mzQu13fqx [case-sensitive so copy and paste it, and remove * from it] (If you don't understand how, lookup how to buy bitcoin. Do not waste my precious time) If you send out this 'donation' (let us call this that?). Immediately after that, I will vanish and under no circumstances make contact with you again. I will get rid of everything I have got in relation to you. You may carry on living your current ordinary day to day life with zero concerns. You have got 1 day to do so. Your time starts as soon you go through this e mail. I have got an special code that will alert me once you go through this mail therefore do not try to play smart.
