If this proposal is accpetable to you, Please get back to me so that i can work out Remuneration for your Participation in this transaction and also let you know how i came to select you for this propose. In view however of rampant cases of Fraud which have been assoicated
with Ventures like this, and also the fact quite known to me about
some people from our counrty doing transactions like this,who ended

I look forward to your Prompt reaponse to this proposal, Sincerly Yours, Dr. olu martins.
From: Klench Mychiques Dear Mr. Martins, Thank you for your email. Yes, I was in the middle of a transaction some days ago. The gentleman wanted me to transfer US $114,000.00 for registration fees (to release 13.8 million Dollars), which I was happy to do. However, I required that the gentleman send me a photograph of himself holding a sign with my password phrase on it (for proof of identification purposes). He did not want to do this, so I ended the deal. Mr. Klench Mychiques.
[Olu Martins undergoes a mysterious metamorphoses into a Mr. Yemi Johnson] Date: Thu, 16 Oct 2003 17:15:09 -0700 (PDT) Dear, I hope this correspondence meets you in good health. I could not reach you earlier than this time,due to my preoccupation with other assignments related to this project,as i feel it very necessary to tidy up my Homework,now that we have found a willing partner in you.

It is important however,for you to understand how we started this project,and how we came about the money to be invested. All of us from our side were involved in the contract award of the Petroleum Ministry,by virtue of our position,we could influence in the opportunity foreigners,securing contracts.Thus we worked out an arrangement whereupon the cost of a particular contract was over inflated,to the tune of $30,000,000.00 U.S (Thirty million united state dollars). The original contractor who did the job has been paid off to the tune of the exact contract cost.It is thus the excess which came up as a result of the over inflation,that we want to transfer out of the country,by your assistance. We shall therefore get you registered here as a foreign contractor,incorporated
to do business in our country,after which we shall present you as
the beneficiary of the said contract cost ($30,000,000.00).With
our privileged position,we can When i hear from you,i shall provide you details of how we shall proceed,based on our mapped out modalities for the successful completion of the project,but after the transfer of the funds into your account.We shall be entitled to keep 80% of the funds to ourselves,While we offer you 15% of the funds for your role in the project. The other 5% will be to compensate for any expenses we may incure in the cost of running the transaction. If this is acceptable to you,please provide me with your bank account details,into which we shall transfer the funds,but it must be an account to which you are the only signatory. As this project which mist be completed within a stated time frame,a prompt reply from you to this message will be appreciated.While i send my warm regards to you and your family. Your Sincerely Dr. Yemi Johnson.

From: Klench Mychiques Dear Dr. Martins, My apologies for the late reply, I have been busy with my sheep business. I little explanation of my business: I own a sheep processing business here in the UK. We rate, breed, shag, and clip sheep for most of the UK based supermarkets. Today I have been busy helping my business partner to shag over 300 sheep (shag is a technical farming term that means to inject sheep with vaccine). My company process around 450,000 sheep a year and my company has a turnover of 6.7 million dollars per year. Anyway, back to your business proposal. As I stated previously, I would need photographic evidence as proof of your identity. Unfortunately, I know there are some ungodly people out there who sometime send false information, so to prove that your photograph is true I will need you to make a sign up with a password phrase that no one else will know. As my business is with sheep, I think a good password phrase to use would be: I SHAG SHEEP Please make a LARGE sign with this message and take a photograph of yourself holding the sign. Once this image is received I know I will be able to trust you. Please ensure the image is LARGE and CLEAR to avoid any possibility of forgery. As soon as your image is received I will be happy to use my money and power to help you. Kindest regards, Klench Mychiques.

[Time to play dumb and frustrate Olu] From: Klench Mychiques What are you waiting for me to do? Klench Mychiques.
Date: Wed, 12 Nov 2003 17:18:46 -0800 (PST) Klench Mychiques How are you doing.I hope this mail meets you in good health.Prior to my last correspondence which was written in a hurry,I want you to know what has been happening with you so far. Have you been contacted by any government agencies what so ever,My contact person with the Federal Ministry Of Finance just call me yesterday,and told me that they have started enlisting contractors that will get their funds by this week latest. He also told me that your company had been short listed amongst those that will collect their funds on Monday next week.

[Time to make excuses to the finance ministry] From: Klench Mychiques Dear Dr. Paul Onanuga, My apologies for the late reply. As I explained to Mr. Martins I have suffered a bad virus attack on my computer. It is taking me some time to get my business dealings back to normal. Thank you for your email, the contents of which are fully understood. You will have to reissue me with form "C" as this was lost during the virus problem I had. I shall contact you again with reference to your abominable $30,000.00 charges. Sincerely, Klench Mychiques.
[Time to confuse Olu by continuing my mistake over the charges!] From: Klench Mychiques Dear Olu, I have received a contact from the finance ministry. They are demanding US $30,000.00 in fees in order to process the handling of the funds. Of course, the $30,000.00 is a very small amount considering the funds that will be eventually cleared, but it is still a substantial amount of money. I am a rich man, and $30,000.00 is not too much money for me, however, I will NOT send any payment until a representative of the finance ministry prove their identity to me in the manner that I requested of you. I will simply not send off $30,000.00 to someone I have never met before or do not trust. Please make this fact clear to the people at the finance ministry. I am willing to send this money Olu, but ONLY after I am given proof of identity in the same way that you had to do for me. Sincerely, Klench Mychiques.
Date: Mon, 24 Nov 2003 02:33:44 -0800 (PST) Klench Mychiques Good day to you.I hope this mail meets you in good health. I tried calling you a few hours ago,but i could not get through to you.I would keep on trying and hope that i get through.I want you to know that we are the point of getting this transaction to a close and we must make sure that we leave no stone unturned.I want you to forward to me everything that was sent to you by the finance ministry. As regards the $30,000.00,i want you to make the payment through
my attorneys's account information. [£30,000 is the
WRONG AMOUNT stupid!] I would advise that you send the fund
to me as your local Representative here,so that i can monitor it
as nobody will be responsible enough to do that at the ministry.We
have to make sure the money is going to To make collection alto more easier for my attorney,i want you to send the Transfer Paper of the $30,000.00 to me so that i would be able to know when and how the payment was made.Please find below the account information to which you are to make the payment to; DBS BANK SINGAPORE No.6, SHELTON WAY,DBS TOWER SINGAPORE SWIFT CODE: DBSSSGSG A/C No. 0055-000125-01-2 BENEFICIARY: E & E WHOLESALE PTE LTD. I want you to call me once you have made the payment,and please state the password when you call me. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Dr. Olu Martins TEL: 234-1-7757166.
From: Klench Mychiques Mr. Martins, Thank you for your email. The 'closeness' of this deal is of no consequence to me. My main concern is to trust my business partners. The way that things are proceeding is very disturbing to me. If you want me to make the $30,000.00 payment through your attorney's account information then it is the duty of your attorney to contact me with his own proof of identity in the same manner that I requested from you. Without such proof I will have no trust and the simple fact of the matter is that I will not continue with this proposition. Sending the money directly to you is also not an option. This is very irregular business practice and I must say it has aroused my suspicions. So far I have had NO PROOF that this "fund" exists, I have ad NO PROOF of the existence of the attorney either. How can I be sure it is not you who is sending me the emails pretending to be the attorney? I am not accusing you of anything Olu, but you must see things from my prospective. Would you send $30,000.00 to someone that you were not 100% trusting of? I don't think you would. And why is the bank in Singapore and not Nigeria? Who are E & E Wholsesale PTE Ltd and what have they got to do with the money? As I have said before, $30,000.00 is not a lot to me, but I shall not send it until all parties have sent proof of their identification. If this upsets you Olu, I apologise, but I shall not continue this business deal without knowing for sure who I am dealing with. Sincerely, Klench Mychiques.

[Olu finally realises his mistake with the cash amount] Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 04:32:18 -0800 (PST) Dear Partner, Thanks for your E-mail to me.I would have replied earlier,but i had to take caution with the way things are going.If you can remember i told you that whenever you are contacted by the Finance Ministry or the bank,you should let me know,and which you actullay did and you said that you where asked to pay the sum of $30,000.00 USD. [I'm so sorry Olu, I guess I just wasn't concentrating!] Immediately i contacted a Central Bank accerdited attorney who
is by name Barrister Peter Okafor(SAN) to help me monitor events
so that no stone will be left unturned.It was the attorney who now
advised me that for effective monitoring,the money should be paid
through to the stated account information that was sent to you.This
he said will enable him complete the signing ceremony and sign every
necessary document on your behalf.Moreover,i want you to know that
he was DIRECT TELEPHONE: 234-1-7756334 I am a man with great dignity and i have a reputation to keep and an expectation to live up to. [No Olu, you are a THIEF and a LIAR] As a civil servant that has put in up to 28 years in active service i want you to know that i will never lead you in the wrong way.Please send to me and the attorney what was sent to you from the Finance Ministry so that we can know what to do. Looking forward to hearing from you. Regards, Dr. Olu Martins TEL: 234-1-7757166.
From: Klench Mychiques Dear Mr. Martins, It seems that I may have misunderstood the Finance Ministry (their English is not very good). It appears now on reflection that they did not ask for $30,000.00. I have repeated their email to me at the bottom of this letter. However, I have been asked to fly down to Nigeria for the signing ceremony of the funds. This of course will incur some expense on me (plane tickets etc.). Am I to assume that the Finance Ministry will be requesting processing fees? If this is the case then my argument remains the same that I will not fly out or meet with any other 3rd party without confirmation of identity. Sincerely, Klench Mychiques.
[Olu chastises me a little - and also wants a password change!] Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2003 12:16:37 -0800 (PST) Klench Mychiques, Good to hear from you.Please note that it would make More meaning if you could read any message you receive carefully,so that you do not make any mistakes in making me know what is happening.I have read the mails from the finance ministry.You are to fill and fax back to their office immediately to the ministry,so that they can start the transfer process. I want you to know that it is not necessary for you to come to Nigeria for the final signing in ceremony of your funds which will be taken place this week.I want you to write back to them,stating your inability to come over,and that they should find you another means of which you will be represented here for the release of the funds to you. I want you to know that there is faith and hope where there is light. Call me as soon as you get the mail,so that i could advise you on what to do. Looking forward to hearing from you.

From: Klench Mychiques Dear Sir, Thank you for your email and I am glad you have received my completed form "C". I am afraid I am unable to visit you for the signing procedure as I have some sheep that really do need my attention. My colleague and I are in the process of purchasing more sheep shagging equipment. Please inform me if there are other ways that we can complete this procedure. Sincerely, Klench Mychiques.
Date: Thu, 27 Nov 2003 16:10:32 +0000 (GMT) Klench Mychiques This is to acknowledge your response to our last correspondence regarding the above subject. Please be informed that as it is impossible for you to visit our office as stipulated, you reserve the right to engage the service of an Attorney to do so on your behalf. But the Attorney must be a "Senior Advocate of Nigeria" (S.A.N.), which is our local equivalent of the "Queen's Counsel" in England. He must also be one that has accreditation papers with the Central Bank OF Nigeria for such purposes. If you have a local representative, you can have him arrange to secure the service of one, on your behalf immediately. In view of the fact that there is an officially stated time frame beyond which we cannot oversee custody of your entitlement, you are hereby advised to attend to this matter on time, because at the expiration of the given timeframe, all undisbursed entitlements must be sent back to the National Treasury for alternative domestic uses. The responsibility of this happening cannot be ours, given that you have been so informed. Yours Faithfully, Dr. Paul Onanuga
[Time to see if I can bag another picture!] From: Klench Mychiques Dr. Paul Onanuga Thank you for your email. You may arrange for an attorney to complete the procedure on my behalf, however, if the attorney requires payment from me then I shall have to insist that the attorney provide proof of identity me IN A MANNER OF MY CHOOSING.

To enable me start the necessary assignment.I was contacted by the Finance Ministry,and i was told that i had to assist you by being your local representative for the final clearance of your contract fund.You must provide me a "Power Of Attorney". Find attached an example of how the Power Of Attorney looks like,and send back to me immediately. For benefit of doubt also, I did not respond to you immediately, as I needed to confirm if actually, approvals for payment have been given in your favour.Moreover, please be informed that we have gotten that confirmation already, otherwise I would not have responded to your request. Apart from giving me the Power Of Attorney, let me also have copies of your reciepts of payment, of Legal charges on the contract, Contractors' legionary dues, and stamp duties. I must submit these prior to embarking on the signing off exercise on your behalf at the finance ministry.It is however not proceedural for us to make any payments on behalf of any client. This is a standard rule with us, and we advise that you work with us on that understanding. I expect your prompt reply.

Also, the other name you are using to write to Mr. D'arth Vader is not Nelson Coakley. You see, from the very first email you sent to me I knew that you were a 419 scammer. I know you are a thief. You wrote your scam email to two of my fake names. You wrote to Klench Mychiques and also D'arth Vader. These two people do not exist - I made them up. All the information and photographs I sent to you were fake, just like yours. You think you are so smart, but in fact you are yet another idiot scammer who is so easily fooled. Olu Martins and Nelson Coakley are names that you made up didn't you? I have no idea what your real name is, but I do know you are very very dumb. Of course, the person in the photograph probably isn't you. Maybe you paid some really ugly looking fool to pose for the pictures, but that doesn't matter to me. I made you waste your time (and hopefully some money) getting the pictures sent to me. Why don't you get yourself a real job instead of being a lying, thieving scammer? Stop dragging the name of honest Nigerian's through the mud. You should be ashamed of yourself.
[I attach the two pictures I was sent]
419eater note: Sadly Mr. Martins/Coakley never did me the courtesy of replying to my email, but hey, that's life! NEXT!
