Hi,

I got an email saying...
"
..
This is the nice e-mail. Next will be the flying monkeys. Send me your files pronto!
..
"
What does the second sentence mean?

If you don't send the files, you'll get a second email, which will not be nice.
ie It''s a threat.

My guess is that the phrase originates like this.
In the famouis movie, 'The Wizerd of Oz', the heroine Dorothy was attacked by siinster flyimg monkeys.
