Dear Miss Young.

How are you today, I hope all is fine. I just want to know if you really got the attached document (Death Certificate) I sent to you. And secondly I'm still waiting for you to make the payment of $1600 through Western Union Money Transfer with the information I sent to you before I really want to get the Anti Terrorist Certificate first thing Monday morning been next week .I will be looking forward to hear from you soon, bye.

Now, lets stop this Anti Terrorist Certificate Nonsense:

Dear Patrick,

I am getting worried about our business. I contacted the embassy to get some information on the World Anti Terrorist Organization and the ANTI TERRORIST CERTIFICATE. They had never heard of these, and could not help me.

Tell me what is going on. Is it a secret Nigerian organization, or what is it? What is the purpose of the organization, and what is the certificate used for?

Please come up with some reasonable explanation, or get your friend Edward to help you.

Have a nice day, ...

Dear Miss Young.

Thanks for your mail and your question as well.Anti Terrorist Certificate is a certificate that shows that the fund is not a terrorist fund coming to your bank account. If the money gets into your account the American government will ask or suspect the fund as terrorist money. As you can understand in this world how terrorist are destroying some of the nations, including United States of America too. They never gets to do that except some one sponsored them and the money gets through some one account in other to finalize their mission.

So, Miss Young. This explanation will convince you a lot. Please don't have any bias mind over this, all is well. As soon as this payment of $1600 is paid, you will get to know what I really mean, we don't have enough time for this. God knows that I really want this transaction to end this month. Please try your possible best. I will be looking forward to hear from you soon, bye.

Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Patrick David.

NB: Why must you contact the embassy at the first place, once you know that this involve money coming to your account.This transaction is very confidencial please. I have called your number so many times and it was switched to answering machine.I wanted to explain some things to you. Please you can call me on my direct line > 234-803-315-9764.

Dear Miss Young,

How are you today, I hope all is well. Did you receieved my mail? Please I really want this transaction to be concluded this month. As soon as the money is sent the certificate will be retrieved from the organisation. Please try much as you can so that we can achieve this goal. I'm still waing to hear from you, bye.

Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Patrick David.

Dearest Patrick, I dont think you take me serios about my WATO questions.

I have not been able to locate any american authority that knows of, or would require an Anti Terrorist Certificate. If you do, please inform me.

If WATO exist, where is their headquarters? And how can a Nigerian office determine whether the fund is not terrorist related?

Finally, you should not be worried about me contacting the embassy and other authorities. Of course I dont mention anything about our business. Besides, you told me that this is a legitimate arrangement that will protect me from any breach of law.

Hope to hear from you soon, ...

Dear Miss Young

Infant I don't want this transaction to be delayed. Let me ask a question, did you remember the September 11 attack in United States? Because of that no money can come to United States without that certificate. Or do you have any other country where you want the bank to transfer the money apart from United States? Please tell me, on that I don't think we need that certificate any more.

You shouldn't have a bias mind over this which I have told you before. Please do send the money so that we can obtain the certificate, as soon as I obtained it I will surely send the copy to you, this is to show you that I'm not praying pranks. I will be looking forward to hear from you as soon as possible, bye.

Yours Sincerely,
Barr. Patrick David.

Dear Patrick,

Thank you for the good news. My bank account is in the Netherlands, so we dont need the certificate!

Therefore the bank has all the needed documents. Will you ask them to go ahead.

Oops, the banker forgot that his name is Stanley Nwamba. Edward Collins is the name of the man from WATO ! It appears that our scammer finds it difficult to play 3 roles at the same time. I send this to the WATO email address:

Dear Edward, Congratulations with your new job. It pleases me that you now work in a bank. I could not see the meaning with the WATO office, so I am happy that you are finished with it. Did they close down the WATO Office?

Anyway, I just returned home after a long and tiring trip. I will go to bed now, and try to read the rest of my mails tomorrow. Good night, ...

You are advice to send the $6,000 to him through any western union in your country. This is the information to send the money to him >

Back to the bank:

Dear Stanley, I am glad you are back. How was Japan?

I dont like the tone in your email. Maybe you find it funny. I certainly do not. It is my money you are fooling around with!

I just followed the orders your collegue Edwards order to send you $5000. How was I to know that he had forgotten to give me some information? And the whole time I had Patrick breathing down my neck.

I also dont understand why you raise the amount to $6000? And since you are a bank, why should money be transferred via Western Union? BTW you forgot to inform me about the banks IBAN/SWIFT/SORTCODES. What are they?

Hope to hear from you soon, ...

My mail is returned with the message: "Account Deactivated". I forward the mail to Patrick:
