Nigeria.


Request For Foreign Partner

Dear Sir,

I sincerely write to seek your co-operation and trust to enable my colleagues and I carry out an urgent business opportunity in my department.

I work with the Union Bank of Nigeria PLC; currently I am the senior manager of bills and exchange at the foreign remittance department of my bank. I was the account officer to one Mr. Ali B. Ashraf who died along with his family on the 8th of November 2001 in an ADC Boeing 727 plane crash at Egirin River. All 141 passengers on board were feared dead.

He left in his domiciliary account the total sum of $15.5million Fifteen million five hundred thousand USA Dollars. Since the management got the information of his death we have been expecting any of his relation or his next of kin to come up and claim his money. Unfortunately from the day of his death till the time of this letter none of his relation or friends has come up for the claim. The banking and financial law of Union bank of Nigeria Plc stipulates that if such fund remained unclaimed after it will be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill.

On this discovery sir, I and two other senior staffs now decided to do business with you and release the money to you as the next of kin to Ali B. Ashraf for safety and subsequent disbursement. I will soon proceed for my retirement leave this year, and I personally do not want this fund to be transferred into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. That is why I wanted the fund to be move out of the bank before I proceed on my retirement from the banking services by December 15th 2003.

The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned by the fact that the customer Mr. Ali Ashraf was a foreigner and a Nigerian cannot stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that 20% of the Fund would be for you as foreign partner; thereafter my colleague and I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentages indicated.

To enable the immediate transfer of the fund into your nominated account, you will first apply to the bank as the next of kin of the deceased, indicating your bank account number and location wherein the money will be remitted. Upon receipt of your acknowledgement indicating your interest, I will send to you the text of the application that you will send to the Union Bank authority for an approval to submit your claims.

Send your reply through my direct and private email address ([email protected]) indicates your direct Fax and telephone numbers for effective communication that this transaction needs. Do not reply through the union bank email address because it's belonged to the senior staffs for public use.

Please note that you are not to appear in person, as every thing regarding this project will be strictly on documentations and every banking documents needed for this transaction will be taken care of by my self.

Looking forward to urgently hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully

EDWARD I. UWA.

Dear Mr. Uwa,

Many thanks for your detailed explanation of the facts, and I feel that I will be able to help you.

Before I proceed I'll give you a little bit of information about myself. I am a partner in a company that manufactures clockwork pacemakers and blood transfusion machines. For an additional fee we also provide the keys to wind them up. My business partner is a boy named Sue. If he was here I am sure he would say 'how do you do?', but of course I realise that it is best to keep deals like this strictly confidential, no need to get into a burning ring of fire!

I was sad to learn of the awful accident that befell Mr. Ashraf. A terrible thing to happen. You mentioned that they died in an air crash in 2001? This is very spooky coincidence as my pet iguana was in the cargo hold of a plane which also crashed in 2001, also in West Africa. Was the plane crash over Abidjan, Nigeria? If so, that would be amazing as I think my iguana must
have been on the very same plane. How tragic. I have attached the last picture taken of me with my beloved pet. This was taken about 6 months before the accident.

You can of course be assured of my 100% commitment and confidentiality over this deal. Please inform me how we are to proceed. If you wish to telephone me direct my number is +44 7092 037387. If I am not at home my answer service will take you message. Please Edward, if you have to leave a message you must say a password phrase so that I know it is you on the telephone (I get a lot of nonsense calls you see), please use the phrase "LUKE AT MY BOLLUX". Luke is the name of my dog, which no one else will know and Bollux is the name of my family mansion.

One last thing before we proceed. Please will you send me some form of official identification for my records?

Sincerely,

Mr. Johnny Cash
San Quentin Clockworks PLC

Mr. Johnny Cash.

Dear Edward,

I will try to be in later this evening to receive your call. I apologise for not being home, but I am a very busy man travelling all the time hunting those damn elusive iguanas.

I thought I had one in the bag this afternoon, but after making an excellent shot with my crossbow, it turned out that what I thought was an iguana was in actual fact a sleeping kitten.

Dear Edward,

Thank you for your email, and I look forward to speaking with the lawyer.

One final question. I know that I mentioned Iguanas to you previously. I have now realised that in your country you also have Mowgli's. Sir, this is very exciting to me! Are you able to arrange export documents for Mowgli's? These creatures are very rare in my country. I am prepared to pay US $175,000.00 each for a Mowgli. I would immediately take 5 Mowgli's if you could get them, plus I would pay you another fee for the Mowgli export document/release forms. To facilitate fast processing I would be happy to pay cash. Please get back to me about this.

Sincerely,

Johnny Cash.

FIRSTLY,I AM A LAWYER OF HIGH REPUTE IN NIGERIA AND I SOLEMNLY PROMISING YOU THAT I WILL GIVE YOU MY 100% MAXIMUM CO-OPERATION IN AS MUCH AS YOU ARE GOING TO FOLLOW MY ADVISE.

I WANT YOU AS A MATTER OF URGENCY SEND THE SUM OF U.S$2,500.00 DOLLARS AS MY MOBILISATION FEE WHICH WILL ENABLE ME COMMENCE ACTION ON YOUR PAYMENT AS THE OFFICIALS HERE HAVE AGREED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO PAY FOR THE PROCUREMENT OF THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS THAT ARE INSTRUMENTAL FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS PAYMENT.

NOTE THAT IT IS VERY PETINIENT FOR YOU TO SEND THIS MONEY TODAY BECAUSE ALL THE NECESSARY ARRANGEMENTS TO GET THIS DOCUMENTS HAS BEEN CONCLUDED.ONLY WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO IS TO MOBILISE ME SO THAT I WILL START ACTION.

SEND THE MONEY THROUGH THE NAME OF OUR RECEIVING OFFICER MR.PETER UZOMAH VIA WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, LAGOS, NIGERIA,AND SEND THE INFORMATIONS ACROSS TO MY EMAIL BOX FOR MY PERUSAL.

PLEASE FIND ATTACH A LETTER OF AGREEMENT WHICH YOU WILL SIGN AND FORWARD BACK.

[Can I strike a deal with Harry?]

From: Johnny Cash
To: [email protected]

Sir,

Thank you for your email.

As regards to the LETTER OF AGREEMENT. You are requiring that I pay a mobilisation fee of US $2,500.00. This is fine, but I will make a counter-request, which may benefit you greatly. It may be a good idea to keep this from Edward Uwa, but here is my extremely generous offer:

Please go ahead with the mobilisation, and remove your fee from the TOTAL AMOUNT, but, instead of taking just the small amount of $2,500.00 for your fee, please take $350,000.00 THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS for your trouble. I will be happy to pay you this personally out of my 30% share. Hopefully my suggestion will hurry this matter along smoothly. Pretty good deal don't you think Harry? Remember, keep this quiet from Edward. Personally, I think Edward is a bit of a chancer.

Three hundred and fifty big ones will go a long way for you Mr Marshal I'm sure. Just think of all the government officials you could bribe with THAT kind of cash. Go on; you know you want to.

Sincerely,

Johnny Cash.

ATTN: MR.JOHNNY,

IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL, IT IS WELL NOTED.MANY THANKS FOR THE U.S$350,000.00 DOLLARS OFFER.

AT THE MOMENT, WHERE DO YOU EXPECT ME TO GET THE U.S$2,500.00 FROM. BE YOU INFORMED THAT NOBODY HAS THE STATUTORY RIGHT TO DEEP HIS HAND INTO THE U.S$15.5M DOLLARS BECAUSE WE ARE NOT THE OWNER OF THE FUND,EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE IN NIGERIA HERE YOU CAN'T BE ABLE TO TOUCH THE MONEY UNLESS THE MONEY IS CLEARED FROM THE BANK.

I THINK YOU WILL UNDERSTAND THAT THIS MONEY IS IN THE BANK. IT WOULD NOT BE EASY FOR ANYONE TO TAKE MONEY FROM THE BANK WITHOUT DUE CLEARANCE.THAT IS WHY IT IS DIFFICULT IF NOT IMPOSSIBLE FOR ANYONE TO TAKE MONEY FROM THERE.I HOPE YOU WILL UNDERSTAND WHAT I AM TELLING YOU BECAUSE BANKING SYSTEM IS THE SAME ALL OVER THE WORLD.

REMEMBER, YOU ARE DUELY INFORMED THAT 10% OUT OF THE TOTAL FUND OF U.S$15.5M DOLLARS HAS BEEN EARMARKED FOR THE SETTLEMENT OF LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPENSES SO ANY MONEY YOU SPENT IN REGARDS TO THIS BUSINESS WILL BE REINBURSED BACK TO YOU WHEN THIS MONEY IS FINALLY IN YOUR ACCOUNT.

KINDLY, GO AHEAD AND SEND THE U.S$2,500.00 TO ENABLE ME GO AHEAD WITH THIS TRANSACTION.


I WILL LIKE YOU TO KNOW THAT YOUR PROPER UNDERSTANDING AND QUICK RESPOSE IN THIS EFFECT WILL MAKE ME TO SERVE YOU BETTER.


I WILL AWAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY.

YOURS SINCERELY,

BARRISTER.HARRY MARSHAL.

 

 

[Come on Harry, you surely can go for this!]

From: Johnny Cash
To: [email protected]

Sir,

Your $2,500 fee is what you are charging for the clearance fees. These are your charges, which don't in reality cost you anything. My suggestion is that if you can carry on and then just make your charge upon the successful conclusion, you will be $350,000.00 richer instead of only $2,500.00 richer. This seems like good business sense to me.

If you are not agreeable to this (and only a crazy man would say no) then to be sure you do not demand the $350,000.00 fee on completion of this deal, I will have to request that you sign a agreement to that fact. I will email you the agreement as soon as you signal you are not wanting to go ahead with my deal. Once I have the signed agreement I will then forward you the $2,500 by Western Union.

Sincerely,

Johnny Cash.
