Dear Sir,

Your proposal sounds interesting.  Please respond with details. 

Do not let the delay in responding discourage you.  Due to circumstances beyond my control I can only check my email once before lights-out.  Also, having a personal phone would be impossible right now.

Attn: Mel Snipe
Dear friend,
Good day   
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your mail in
response to my proposal. Thanks for your interest and
I look forward to working with you. I have the trust
on you, and I beleive you have the same on me as you
know that this transaction requires mutual trust and
dedication
to achieve this golden objective. The most important
thing now is to get my clients money transferred into
your bank a/c,then after that you can advise on viable
areas of investment either in your country.

While craving your indulgence, may I clarify that I
got your
information from the Internet and I am compelled to
contact you (privacy laws notwithstanding)due to the
urgent need for a help from a reliable person which I
presume you are, to safeguard my client's inheritted
fortune. While apologising for intrusion, I urge your
help for our mutual benefit.

I am obliged to give you the details of the
transaction and how it is
expected to be carried out successfuly. It is a very
simple deal and I can assure you that soonest we shall
celebrate our success if you can cooperate with me.
It's as follows: Read carefully and get back to me.

Please note that every piece of information I give you
is based on  information giving to me by my client
Mr.Mohammed Abacha who is the first surviving son of
Late General Sanni Abacha and I have confirmed
the truth based on inquiry from the Security Company.

If you are conversant with Nigeria you'll remember
that General Sani Abacha until his sudden death
sometime mid June 1998 was the Military Head-of-State
of Nigeria and during his tenure he acquired a lot of
money running into several Billions of dollars from
Nigerian treasury. Immediately after his death, the
succeeded government seized virtually all the money
including other valuables traceable to my client's
family but they were unable to sieze this amount of
$20.5M Cash which my client now want to transfer to
your a/c for investment purpose.  
Before the death of General Sanni Abacha , he confided
in his son
Mohammed(my client) about an amount of US$20.5M cash
which he deposited with a Security Company in Accra
the Capital city of Republic of Ghana as diplomatic
consignment for safekeeping. What I mean by diplomatic
consignment is that the consignment was recieved by
the Security Company for safe keeping without them
opening it or scruitinizing it to know the exact
content.
Upon his father's death, Mohammed as the Next-of-kin
authomatically inheritted the consignment containing
huge sum of money. Now your help is needed to secure
the clearance of the consignment from the
Security Company after which the content($20.5M cash)
shall be transferred to any bank account you may
nominate.

For your expected help to recieve the money into your
a/c, my client have resolved to compensate you with
20% of the total sum of $20.5M and I am sure that you
will not refuse such generous offer.

I want to let you know here that all arrangement for a
successful
transaction is in place and all I need from you is
your co-operation , all you need to do is to follow my
 directives.
In my capacity as the attorney, I will present you to
the security  company as  the beneficiary to said
consignment so that you can
legally receive the consignment from them.  To do
this, you should provide to me the following
information:
1. Your full name and address as contained in your
international passport.
2. Your contact telephone and fax numbers,

Upon reciept of the these information, I will submit
it to the
security company for authentication and documentation
in your favor so that the consignment can be released
to you when you come for the clearance. I hope
immediately this is done, the security company  shall
extend invitation to you to come forward for the
clearance.
You should note that the security company is in Accra
the Capital city of Republic of Ghana, and the
modality of the transaction demands that as the
beneficiary you should visit the security company for
the clearance of the consignment therefore you should
be making immediate arrangement to visit Accra as soon
as you are invited. I will also be in Accra to meet
and work with you when you are invited by the
security company . I want to assure you that your
safety is guaranteed.

Immediately you arrive Accra-Ghana and take delivery
of the consignment from the security company, you will
open a transit domiciliary bank account  in your name
with any bank in Ghana where we shall firstly deposit
the money for subsequent transfer via swift
telegraphic fund transfer system within 48 hours to
your nominated bank account in your country. When the
money is confirmed in your nominated account,I will on
behalf of my client travel with you from Ghana back to
your country for the sharing of the money accordingly
to the  agreed sharing ratio. Then I will enter into
fresh negotiation with you for investment
on viable ventures as my client is interested in
investing substantial part of his share in your
country. Where are viable areas of investment in your
country you may advise advise? It is very important I
know this on time.

Dear friend, You see it is a very simple deal all
required from you now for our success is your
undivided co-operation and assistance then I assure
you that within the next 14 working days we shall
conclude and be happy together to settle for a more
prosperous future. 
God bless as I anticipate your urgent response . Make
sure you contact me very often because this
transaction requires constant correspondence. All
future correspondence should be e-mailed to:
harmonylawchambers@justice.com

Yours Faithfully, 
Ola Martins ESQ

Hello Ola,

Sorry I couldn't reply sooner but I was working on the road with the boys for the last six days.  There was a whole gang of us.

I am being sprung on Friday Apr. 30.  We have finished the tunnel and 21 of us are gone after the midnight shift change.

Now, back to to business.  Before I get too involved I would like some proof that the money exists and some evidence that you are a barrister.  Perhaps a picture with your partners wearing those distinguished white wigs?

Sincerely Yours,

Mel Snipe.

Subject: Documents.

Dear Mel Snipe,
Per you request, find attached some documents to prove
our transaction and to clarify whom I really am.

DOCUMENT 1. CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT: This was issued by
the Security Company to my client late father to
confirm that they are actually having his consignment
in their vault. As you can see in this document, it was
manifested that the consignment contains a different
thing 'photographic materials', so the secret about the
real content(money cash)of the consignment is now known
to two of us and a third person which is the bank
Manager of Barclays Bank Int'l whom I confided in
because he will assist us in the remittance of the
money to your a/c after clearance of the consignment
from the Security Company.

Crap

DOCUMENT 2. AGREEMENT;
This is a legal deed of understanding between the
Security Company and Late Abacha specifying the terms
and it's from this document that backed you up to
recieve this consignment from the Security Company in
the status of partner.

Crap

DOCUMENT 3. MY CALL TO BAR CERTIFICATE:
This a high level government certificate issued when I
was called to the BAR as a lawyer. This certifies me a
Lawyer, and it is my authorization to practise law in
Nigeria.

Crap

DOCUMENT 4. MY ID CARD,
You can see for yourself.

Crap

My friend, I hope these documents will douse your
curiosity about the transaction, and now I can tell you
that everything is set for us to conclude the
transaction, all I need from you is your full
co-operation then I assure you that everything will be
concluded soon.
I hope now you will be willing to give me your maxumum
co-operation? Then send to me the needed information
upon your reply to this mail.

Do acknowledge receipt of these documents, and please
do keep them confidential because they are classified
documents meant not to be exposed ok.
I await your confirmation,

Yours faithfully,

Ola Martins ESQ

Subject: Re: Got the documents??

Dear Ola Martins,

Good news!  We all made it.  I am now free to aid you 24hrs a day until this important business matter is resolved.

Thank you for the pictures.  The first three were spurious but the ID Card is most definitely a fake.  The card is scanned in but the name has been typed over on a computer.  The picture is even lower quality.  I thought you could do better.

I need a picture with your partners wearing those distinguished white wigs.  You should also be holding a card with the name of my dog, Buster, on it and "Hi Mel" on it.  I have attached a word document for you to print to make it easier for you.  If you could do this Little thing then we will continue.

Do acknowledge receipt of these documents, and please
do keep them confidential because they are classified
documents meant not to be exposed ok.
I await your confirmation,

Sincerely,

Mel.

[No Answer.  I figure I pushed too hard asking for lawyers in wigs.]
[Oops!  There was a typo in the sign he was supposed to print out.  It said, "Buster Hi Men!" instead of "Buster Hi Mel!]"   See it here.
