I require urgently your unreserved assistance in assisting me transfer the sum of seven Million United states dollars ($7,000,000.00) to any bank account of your choice. This fund is the excess fund generated from an over-invoiced contract we executed for Elf Total France .

The purpose of the transfer is to take care of my retirement by investing in variable business you might deem fit to advise.This fund is kept in a suspense account in one of our bank accounts in Switzerland until I am able to source for a reliable Expatriate partner whom I can present as the Beneficiary of the funds. You will take the status of the contractor who executed the contract and I will arrange the supportive documents for the transfer. 37% will go to you as compensation for assisting me transfer the funds.

Everything about this transaction is real, after putting in so many years in service, it is only normal for me to take good measures to secure my period in retirement.

It shall come to mean a lot to you too as we meet in your country to celebrate to enable us commence effective process to finalize this matter.

Dear Miss Young.

Thank you very much for your positive and prompt response to my email message.Be rest assured that,if we play our various roles very well,the funds will definitely be transferred into your account for our mutual benefit, at the latest,in about a forth night.

I urge you to trust me on this project, and we shall successfully transfer the funds in no time.

The procedure is simple,All that needs to be done at this stage is for you to send me a name to use in registering a company. I will fill and return the application form.I will use my influence and my position to facilitate the registration of a company in your name.This is done largely to confer legitimacy on you as the bona fide Sub-contractor and thus legitimate owner of the said funds.

I wish to stress further that you should keep this transaction confidential until we are able to secure the US$7,000,000.00 Million in your bank account or get a draft issued in your name in like sum.

The need for these attributes cannot be overemphasized considering the nature of the Project and the fact that its direct participants are career Workers, who are still in active service and will not want their public status jeopardized.

PROCESS OF TRANSFER TO YOUR ACCOUNT
(i) Upon the receipt of either your bank account particulars or a name you want issued on the draft.That is,if you prefer payment via international bank draft, I will forward the application for claim to our bankers for payment.

Once i am able to finish the documentation work at our corporate Head office,the contract file will subsequently be sent to the Ministry of Finance for vetting and subsequent approval.

In the course of executing this project, all legalisticrequirements precedent to the release of contractual payments will be religiously adhered to. You therefore do not have any thing to worry about,as all relevant documents will be obtained and copies made available to you. These will confer legitimacy on the payment, and your bankers will be duly satisfied as to the origin of funds.

For taking part in this project you get 37% of the total sum as compensation.

I want to assure you also that the transaction is 100% risk free, legally and otherwise neither from your government nor from my government. All the step and procedure that will be adopted to get the fund transfered will be done in accordance with my country's law and in accordance with any international law.

To solidify our partnership,i need to speak with you on phone,could you please email me the telephone number you want me to call and the best time you want me to call you.

Yours Faithfully.

It is great hearing from you. I hope your trip was successful. I have good news for. Approval from the Monaco department of finance Monaco that this payment be honoured by the Central bank of Monaco has been granted.Please see attached document.

Note that your file for payment has moved to the Department of Justice for ratification. The moment the payment is ratified, your payment file will be forwarded to the paying bank for immediate credit to your account.

However,before the payment is made the bank will contact you on the mode of payment you prefer.

Please the moment you hear from the bank dont hesitate to contact me via telephone,since i don't assess my mail that often.

From all indication everything is moving fine. I feel more comfortable dealing with you. I don't know why.

Where do we meet after the completion of this project?. Please i need an urgent answer.

I hope to speak with you tomorrow. Please when is the best time to call you also email me your mobile number.

Remain blessed.

Dr.Innocent.

A closer look at the document shows that the stamp is on top of the signature, and the text on top of the stamp. This is not the natural order.

My dear Innocent, Nice to recieve the letter from Monaco. It looks as if everything is going according to plan, except you sending me your picture ;-) Are you shy? I sent you my picture, and I really want to see yours. The bank hasnt contacted me yet, but let us give them some time. I like the idea of meeting afterwards. I suggest we meet in Amsterdam.

Sir,
I have some bad news for you. My dear friend, Miss Young, was involved in a traffic accident on monday the 4th, on the way to the airport. She is now in a coma. Her condition is getting better, but it is still critical.
I am Jacques Jeune, a lawyer, and a good friend of Miss Young. Until she (hopefully) recovers, I am taking care of her businesses. This has become more complicated than expected because many of her deals were made by email, and we haven't been able to get access to her secured laptop.
You sent her a fax on friday the 8th regarding some business, that appears to be unfinished. If possible, I would like to finish this business on her behalf.
Could you inform me about the business you have with Miss Young, and suggest how we close it in the way Miss Young would have wanted?
I pray for Miss Young,

Thank you for explaining the current tragic situation. Miss Young is still in a coma, and noone has been able to contact her since the accident. Therefore I will have to improvise when I act on her behalf in her interest. The doctors here are very good, but also very expensive. Thefore I am arranging for her to be flown back to the states. Due to her present condition, it is complicated to arrange this.
