Attn:Miss Young
Dear ,
Thanks for your prompt response . Well, I mustn?t fail to disclose
our intention clear for future reference . We intend to invest this
fund under your assistance . Our major concern is making sure that this
fund is invested in USA because of it?s vibrant and conducive economic
environment . Since you will manage this fund on our behalf , it is
our belief that you know the best project to go into . Our expectations
from you are prudent management , transparency and accountability .
May be for your earlier information , this fund belongs to my client
Chief Frank Umeh , a former comptroller ? general of custom services
in Nigeria . He has retired due to ill-health . He has partial paralysis
which confined him in doors . From information passed to me , he made
this money from a deal which he struck with some colleagues last year
and has deposited the money in the General Account of Eco Bank of Nigeria
through the assistance of his close friend , late Chief A. K. DIKIBO
who was then the chairman of the board . Chief Dikibo was assassinated
in what was believed to be politically motivated this year .
Now , the fund is in the bank and my client is disabled and can not
properly come up with a concrete investment agenda thus , he has to
employ me to solicit for external assistance . That was why I contacted
you .
So , from our point of action here, you are naturally going to invest
and manage any project which you invest into and make returns to us
accordingly . An agreement will be drafted which will be bidding to
us for posterity and you are also free to make your suggestion towards
that .
Finally, I hand over this job to your honorable care . I want you to
wisely advise us on steps to take . Our duty is to provide the fund
while you take care of the needed expertise .
Thank you .
Barrister John Adams

Dikibo was killed on
February 6, along the Kwale-Ogwashi-Ukwu road |

Dear John, I read your long email, and have a good feeling
of what is going to happen. I suppose the first thing we have to do, is
to transfer the money to a foreign bank? ... |

Dear,
Your prompt response is quite commendable and I truly subscribe to
your idea of having the fund transferred out from it's present place
of deposit . Such step will ensure that the fund is properly safe guarded
and it will enhance our investment drive .
To achieve this unique purpose , it becomes imperative for you to provide
the bank account information needed to actualize the purpose . As soon
you provide those needed information , I shall move forward to start
processing relevant government backings which will ensure that the transfer
is hitch free . I won't like us to run into any problem because , all
over the world , there is general concern about money -laundering and
terrorism .
I don't want us to be accussed of any hence the need to initially normalize
everything to guarantee safety . Immediately all the relevant payment
approvals are secured with your name and bank account information ,
You will be regarded as the fund beneficiary which itself will enable
us to make withdrawals from the account .
Presently , there is no accessibility to the fund thus we can't withdraw
any amount from it because it is in the general account of the bank
and there is no beneficiary name attached to it yet . So I enjoin you
to provide the needed information immediately . We can not afford to
waste anytime .
Finally , Although I have not seen you but from the two mails written
by you , I quite believe in you and have no doubt whatsoever that you
will be of immense assistance to us in making sure that this fund is
well safeguarded abroad . I equally advise you to be discreet and never
discuss nor disclose this transaction with anybody no matter how close
. You are aware that the amount of money involved is enormous , so keep
this transaction to yourself alone .
Thank you .
Barr. John Adams .

Dear John, I agree in your latest email. Here is my bank

case. I would also like to see how you look like. Will you send me your
picture? Regards, ... |

Dear,
I acknowledge the receipt of your banking information as requested
by me . You didn?t include the routing number or swift ?code if there
is any . Please try to correct that mistake .
I have viewed your picture . You look so good , beautiful and sweet
. I am equally attaching my international passport which has my picture
and identity and also my personal C.V. which will give you an idea of
the calibre of person whom you are dealing with . I have you in confidence
that you won?t disappoint .
As regards to actualizing urgent and successful transfer of this fund
into your account , Money will be needed . I don?t want to shy away
from the truth . Money will be needed to secure all the payment approvals
with your name thus formalizing and legitimizing the ownership of the
fund with your name . As soon this fund is normalized in your name ,
there won?t be any interference from any quarters again . It is my intention
to secure all those approvals from three (3) Government offices , namely
, Nigeria Custom Services (B) Federal Ministry of Finance (C) Office
of the Accountant General of the Federation .
Firstly , I shall make formal application to the Custom office and
with the old contacts of my client (Who owns this fund ) apply for the
payment to be recorded as an Excess Duty Refund . It will be approved
to your favour as refund made against excess charge imposed on an importation
which you made here in Nigeria . You don?t have to worry since we have
all contacts which will ensure that this bedrock approval is promptly
secured . After that , subsequent ones will follow accordingly and finally
, I will submit all the approvals to the paying bank (ECO BANK OF NIG
PLC ) and the fund will be transferred into your account without any
delay . It will take us just five (5) working days to conclude this
process .
To this effect , I sincerely solicit for financial support from you
in order to commence with this unique assignment . I will initially
start on this project by tomorrow and will visit the Custom office to
enquire of the amount needed .
Please keep in touch always and don't forget to keep everything secret
to your self alone . My phone number is :234-80 33 254 328 , you can
reach me anytime . I equally request for yours for effective communication
. Feel free and take good care of your self . God bless you .
Yours Truly ,
Barr. John Adams .

A close look at the (fake) passport shows that John was born on February
2, 1932, while the resume show that he was born July 13, 1932.
Dear John, Thank you for your informative email and the attachments.
You ask for my banks routing code. If they have one, I don't know it.
I have never been asked for a routing code before, and the account is
used regularly for transfer to/from foreign banks.
I like your picture. You look very young for a 72 year old. Your climate
must be much better than ours. Hope to hear from you again soon. Regards,
...

Dear,
Your explanation on the routing number is noted . Already I have used
the information given by you to formally apply to the Customs office
for the initial payment approval . I hope to receive it by tomorrow
. As soon it is secured , I will apply again to the Federal Ministry
of Finance for their endorsement . I will forward the two approvals
to you before applying for the last which will come from the office
of the Accountant General of the Federation .
As I had already stated in my last mail , Money will be needed to
facilitate this process and equally make it happen urgently . I have
already committed the bit which I can readily lay hands on in the Customs
Office . It is my wish to seek for urgent assistance from you no matter
how small in order to propel me into more action . There is no need
for us to waste any time . With your cooperation , we can conclude this
transfer by friday next week . So I urgently need financial support
from you . It should be voluntary and based on your availability . I
am not tasking you but I believe you can help .
Finally, Thanks for your comment about my picture . That picture is
one of my best and I always like to use it .
Thanks and God bless you .
Yours Truly ,
Barr. John Adams ,

Dear ,
I acknowledge your mail . As previously informed , I have already secured
the approval from the Customs office and will collect the one from Federal
Ministry of Finance later today before applying for the final approval
from the office of Accountant General of the Federation . I will duly
forward the two approvals secured to you today .
Be informed also that the approvals from the office of the Accountant
General is the last and actually , we will be needing your voluntary
financial assistance . I have exhausted the much I can lay hands on
in securing the two other approvals . Although I don't know the cost
yet , but after my formal application to that effect today , I will
be able to know how much it will cost us . Please try your best .
Finally, I will get back to you later with those approvals .
Thank you .
