Union Bank Of Nig. Plc
Union House Marina
Lagos State
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

Dear Edward,
Thank you for your email, and I look forward to speaking with the

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.

Letter of Agreement.
[Not to clear on the resized version above, but
I just LOVE Harry's snow topped font!]
[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.

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.

To: [email protected]
Dear Mr. Marshall,
Good morning to you sir! Please find attached the corrected W.U.
payment.
Please note that the control number has now changed because of the
new payment. The control number is now 2457115810. The password
and answer remain the same.
I await the millions in my account ASAP. No hard feelings over the
$350,00.00 is there Harry? Tell you what mate, I'll bung you an
extra grand to show there's no hard feelings!
Sincerely,
Johnny Cash.
[Another W.U. receipt. Will it matter that the
date is incorrect? Not sure!]
