Mr. Williams Smith contacts me with an impressive opening salvo.
Considering the trouble Mr. Smith has gone into his introduction
it is only proper that I concoct a counter-scam worthy of his commitment
to a solid project.
I think we need to set Mr. Smith a challenge. Anyone fancy some
artwork?!

Attn: Sir/ Madam,
May I crave your indulgence to open this business discussion
by a formal letter of this sort. It is pertinent that a business
of this magnitude should have commenced properly with a formal meeting
of you and us to enable us know ourselves, have a fore knowledge
of the nature of the business, discuss and acquaint ourselves with
the responsibilities and functions of parties concerned, and appropriate
sharesaccordingly. However, for time factor, confidentiality and
personality of people involved here in Nigeria, we choose this approach
for the remittance of this Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand, U.S.
Dollars (US$10.5M). Please bear with us for making the initial contact
through e-mail. But my partners are insisting for a meeting in order
not to fall into a wrong hand again.
I am Mr.F. Williams Smith, we are members of the special committee
for Budget and Planning of the Ministry of Petroleum. This committee
is principally concerned with contract appraisal and the approval
of the contracts in order of priorities as regards capital projects
of the past military government of Nigeria.With our positions, we
have successfully secured for ourselves this sum of Ten Million,
Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$10.5M).
This amount was accumulated through undeclared windfall sales
of crude oil during the gulf war. Hence together with two of our
top officials at the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC),
we plan to transfer this amount of money into a secure verseasaccount
by awarding a sort of contract from the NNPC.To this effect I have
been given the mandate by my colleagues to contact you and ask foryour
assistance.What we need from you is to provide a nice account inwhich
the funds will be transferred. Everything about me is nice
Mr. Smith, so you've hit the jackpot here.
My colleagues and I have agreed to compensate you or the owner
of the account used for this transaction with 25% of thetotal amount
remitted. We shall have 70% and the remaining 5% reserved for taxes
and other miscellaneous expenses in your country. It may interest
you to know that last two years a similar transaction was carried
out with one Mr.RogerWilliams, the President of Craine International
Trading Corporation at number 135 East 57th Street, 28th Floor,
New York, NY 10022 with telephone number (212)308-7xxx and telex
number 6731xxx.
After the agreement between both partners in which he was to
take 20% of the money while the remaining 80% for us. With all the
required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into this
account only to be disappointed on our arrival in New York, and
we wereeliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on
that address while his telephone and telex numbers have been reallocated
to somebody else. That was how we lost US$9 Million to Mr. Roger
Williams. Roger, if you're reading this I hope you're feeling
guilty! This time around we need a more reliable and trustworthy
person or a reputable company to do business with hence this letter
to you. Yes, I'm your man for reliability Mr. Smith.
So if you can prove yourself to be trusted and interested in
this deal then we are prepared to do business with you. What we
want from you is the assurance that you will let us have our share
if this amount (US$10.5M) is transferred into your account. If this
proposal is okay by you, then reply through my email urgently so
that we can set the ball rolling and negotiate the modalities involved.
Kindly, treat as very important and strictly confidential, I honestly
assure you that this transaction is 100% risk-free.
I look forward to your response and expected co-operation and
God bless you.
Regards.
Mr. Williams Smith

Dear Mr. Smith,
Thank you so much for your very interesting email, however I am
afraid that I will be unable to help you at this time. These next
three months are by far the busiest and most profitable period for
my company and I cannot give any time to anything other than the
procurement of artwork especially wooden carvings.
You may already know of me since it was you that contacted me. My
name is Derek Trotter and I am the director of Trotter Fine Arts
Dealer and Art Scholarships. We are dealers in fine art and ethnic
art from all over the world and we supply many business and private
customers. We own eight art galleries and two scholarship centres
here in the UK. We also offer scholarship donations to aid up and
coming new artists who may otherwise not have the financial means
to be able to produce or improve their work. Our scholarship payments
range from between $25,000 and $150,000 depending on the potential
of the artist.
I am sorry Mr. Smith but I am unable to enter into your business
proposition at this time, however if you have any contacts in your
part of the world who have artists who you think may benefit from
our financial help then I would be very interested to be put in
touch with them. We are especially very keen on promoting new artists
with experience in small wood carvings and will be happy to offer
a very generous $25,000 to $150,000 scholarship package to young
or old artists with good potential. If you know of an artist who
could benefit from our financial help and who would be prepared
to produce work for us to sell or promote then please do let me
know.
I wish you luck in finding somebody to help you.
Sincerely,
Derek Trotter - Director

Dear Mr. Smith,
Despite me telling you THREE times now that I have no interest
in your proposition you still keep trying to change my mind. THIS
WILL NOT HAPPEN.
You tell me the contents of my letters are "duly noted"
however you are NOT duly noting them, you are in fact ignoring them.
For the very last time; I am NOT interested in your proposition.
I do NOT want to be your partner. I do NOT have the time. I do NOT
want any of your money. I will NEVER be interested in your proposition
even if you ask me a million times.
I am sorry to appear rude to you Mr. Williams but you need to understand
that I am EXTREMELY busy and do not have time to waste sending emails
backwards and forwards for no reason at all.
PLEASE seek out somebody else to help you. I am not interested in
making more money. I am already a very wealthy man and I do not
seek more wealth. Notice how I dangle the "carrot of wealth"

Dear Mr. Williams,
It is not a case of whether I think your email is "junk"
mail or not. As I explained in my first email to you, you have unfortunately
contacted me in the very busiest period of the financial year for
my company. If you had contacted me just a few months previously
or maybe even in a few months time then yes, I may well be interested
in your offer, however at the moment I can allow nothing to interfere
with my business presently. Over 70% of our business is conducted
over these next three months and is worth many millions of dollars
to us, so I hope you can appreciate that I cannot allow myself to
be involved in anything else at the moment. I have many employees
who depend on me to keep things running smoothly.
You say you have two artists who wish to apply for our donation/scholarship
payments? Well that is good news, and if they agree to our terms
then I am sure that we can be of great help to them.
The way our programme works is that we seek out new or up and coming
artists all over the world who may not otherwise be financially
able to promote or sell their work and then we help them to realise
their full potential. We aid them by presenting them with a scholarship
payment ranging from $25,000 to $150,000 which again is entirely
dependent on their potential, but the minimum payment we award any
artist willing to supply work for us is $25,000. Presently we are
seeking artists who specialise in wooden sculptures.
HOW OUR DONATION/SCHOLARSHIP PROCEDURE WORKS:
1. Before we could make any kind of monetary payment to any artist
we would of course require proof of their abilities. We do not ask
artists to send in prepared samples of their work because of course
there is no way for our foundation to know if the artwork is indeed
the artists own work, therefore we would require your artists to
provide a brand new sample for us to evaluate their abilities.
2. My company will submit to you (by email attachment) a sample
photograph or photographs. This may be of a person, a animal, a
building or other such item. Your artist would then be required
to carve a small representation of the image we send to you. Once
your have completed the work it is to be sent to us for evaluation
and then a donation amount would be awarded according to your artists
skill or potential. Our donation payments range from between a minimum
of $25,000 up to $150,000.
3. On receipt of a satisfactory piece of artwork my four board members
will then gauge the quality and therefore the size of the donation/scholarship
amount to send to you. The payment is sent by whatever means suits
you best and is made within 24 hours of receiving your work.
IMPORTANT: Please note that no payments whatsoever can be
given in advance of receiving the artwork. It is very important
that you understand this completely. You will be responsible for
shipping the sample to us. Your shipping expenses WILL be refunded
but only AFTER we receive the sample.
Please not also that we can only process one application from one
artist at a time. Although you state you have TWO artists willing
to submit work only one at a time will be able to submit a sample.
Once your first artist has been paid by us in full for their sample
then we can accept the second submission.
I hope that is clear to you, and if you are in agreement to the
terms above please let me know as soon as possible and I will arrange
for a sample picture to be sent to you by email attachment.
Kind regards,

Dear Mr. Derek,
Your crosspondence letter dated 13/1/2006 meets me in good spirit
and have gone through the contents and the contents there in have
been take note of, Actully i have more than two artistan who are
really interested, But i want to start up with two first to see
how the business will work. Again i will like to pin point the issue
of Shipment, Is there no way your company will be of any assistance
atleast half of the cost of the Shipment? Anyway, Let me have the
sample of the carved woodens, then after my client has done the
art work, Then i will know how much for the Shipment, But i think
that will not be much problems.
I look forward for a good business relationship with you, While
expecting the sample of Photograph or Photographs of what you want
via email, But is it not possible you send via DHL, For a clear

My Brother Derek,
This is a question i asked ,Based on the mail you sent to me dated
13/1/2006, Beside you are the one who said your company will not
be responsible for the Shipment, So i need to ask, If your company
will be responsible for half payment of the Shipment, Simple No,
Than to get upset. You dont need to get angry, if you are a real
business man, After all the question i asked is what i think is
right to ask.
Well, Let us not be draging for something like this, if you feel
that you are no longer interested to deal with me, No problem, After
all we are trying to help each-other. Have a nice day.

From: Derek Trotter

Dear Mr. Williams,
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that I am angry? I
am not.
It was made quite obvious in my previous emails that my company
WOULD be responsible for reimbursing your entire shipment costs,
but only AFTER we have received the sample, I quote:
"IMPORTANT: Please note that no payments whatsoever can
be given in advance of receiving the artwork. It is very important
that you understand this completely. You will be responsible for
shipping the sample to us. Your shipping expenses WILL be refunded
but only AFTER we receive the sample."
You will notice also that the text was printed in bold so as to
ensure you took careful notice of it.

From: Derek Trotter

Date: January 19, 2006
Dear Mr. Williams,
Instructions for your or your artist can be found below. Please
let me know if you have any questions.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR ARTISTS:
As mentioned on my previous email to you, before we can send you
the donation/scholarship payment, you will have to submit a piece
of work to our requirements. This serves to ensure the work is indeed
your own artists work, and also so that we can gauge the quality
of your artists workmanship.
Please find attached to this email the sample images. We have taken
great care to photograph the sample images from various angles so
that you know exactly the layout of the object, which in this case
is a dog and a cat sitting on chair. The artist will be required
to make a carving of this piece in the wood of his/her choice. The
sample we send has been specially selected to show off various skills.
Please note the following rules:
1. The carving can be any size you choose. Obviously you will need
to take into consideration the weight of the carving so that the
shipping cost is not to great for you, however, remember that we
will of course reimburse your shipping costs in full on receipt
of the artwork. As an example to you, the normal LENGTH of this
particular carving along the longest length is 10 inches. You may
make your submission larger or smaller but no larger than 15 inches
along the longest length.
2. The carving can be in any type of wood that you choose, and must
NOT be painted. Obviously the quality of the wood, and if possible
a polished smooth finish will increase the chances of your donation
payment being larger.
Attention to detail is important and will help my board members
to judge the skill of the artist. You will see that the attached
photographs have many small details. Try to capture as much detail
as possible.
NOTE: An exact duplicate of the sample is not required as
we are presently uncertain of your artists skills, however the closer
your artists work is to the supplied sample then the higher the
donation payment is likely to be. We realise of course that to exactly
duplicate the carving would take an artist of exceptional skill,
so we do not expect the carving to be of such detail and quality,
however the closer to the original artwork that your artist can
reproduce the sample in wood, the larger the donation amount will
be.
Please bear in mind again that the artwork will have to be shipped
to us for inspection before the donation payment is given, so obviously
you must take into consideration the weight of the artwork so that
the shipping cost is not too high for you.
You will need to ship the completed sample to us by a courier such
as FedEx or DHL etc. All your shipping fees will be refunded in
full but your fees will only be refunded AFTER we receive the completed
sample. It is not our company policy to pay for work that we have
not yet received.
On receipt of satisfactory artwork we will then judge the skill
level of the artist submission and will reward you with a monetary
donation depending on the quality of your work As mentioned previously,
the minimum donation amount per artist is $25,000 but this can rise
up to $150,000 per artist. Note that my board member will usually
pay higher amounts for carvings which have obviously taken great
skill and time to produce. Donation payment are usually given within
24 hours of us receiving the sample artwork.
Should your artists be some skill we would then like to make arrangements
to have some more work produced by you after we have received your
sample. If this is the case we will of course pay your full fees
in advance. As a guideline for good quality carvings we tend to
pay between $8,000 - $15,000 per item, so as you can see if your
artists work is of sufficient quality then you could benefit greatly
from our partnership.
I hope that is of help to you and I look forward to hearing from
you soon. If you have any further questions please do not hesitate
to ask. Please note that once you receive this email and agree to
our terms your artist must have the carving ready to submit to us
within 4 weeks.
Also, please let me know when you expect to have the artwork ready
for shipping. In the meantime, please can you tell me what your
preferred method of payment is?
Sincerely,
Derek Trotter - Director
Trotters Fine Arts

I attach 10 sample pictures of the item I want carving. Three
small example images are below though the pictures I sent to Mr.
Smith were very large and detailed. Hey, I go out of my way to help
