Default How should I reply ;-)

From- Dr UBA GARVIN
CREDIT AND FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT
Nill Bank of Nigeria Plc
Lagos
Nigeria.

Dear Friend,

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.
My name is DR UBA GARVIN the manager,credit and foreign bills of Nill
Bank
Plc.
I am writing in respect of a foreign customer of my bank who perished
in
the plane crash Of September 29, 1997 in Indonesia plane crash with
{Garuda
Indonesia Airlines} other passengers aboard as you can comfirm it
yourself
through this Web Site:
http://www.cnn.com/WORLD/9709/29/indonesia/index.html

Since the demise of this our customer, I personally has watched with
keen
interest to see the next of kin but all has proved abortive as no one
has
come to claim his funds of $25. 5 m, [Twenty Five Million Five hundred
Thousand
United States Dollars] which has been with my branch for a very long
time.

However, 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 Nill Bank of Nigeria PLC stipulates that if such fund remained
unclaimed
after a period of (7)seven years, 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 Mr. 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 2004.
The need for a foreigner as next of kin in this project is occasioned
by
the fact that the customer Mr. Ali B. Ashraf was a foreigner and a
Nigerian
cannot stand as his next of kin or heir. We have agreed that 30% 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 where in 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 Nill Bank
of
Nigeria PLC authority for an approval to submit your claims.

Send your reply through my direct and Private:garvinuba@infohq.com

Kindly send me an e-mail signifying your decision including your
private.
1. Your Full names
2. Your Full address
3. Your Phone and Fax numbers including mobile phone.for quick
communication.
4. Your Bankers Name, Address, Bank Account Number / Rotine Number or
Swfit
Code.

Note: Do not reply through the Nill Bank email address because it
belonged
to the senior staffs for public use.

Please note that you are not to appear in person, as everything
regarding
this project will be strictly on documentations and every banking
documents
needed for this transaction will be taken care of by myself.
Looking forward to urgently hearing from you.

Yours Faithfully,
DR UBA GARVIN.
garvinuba@infohq.com

I always reply to these people, asking for more or less irrelevant details.

One guy for example emailed me saying the deceased customer was Swedish, so I replied I couldnt possibly be a "next of kin" to him, being from elsewhere. He ignored that, I insisted. They will send you pictures of themselves, fake (hilariously fake!) passport scans and what not. But I get bored after a while of getting paragraphs and paragraphs of BS, so I usually just forget about it. Could be fun taking it all the way and putting it up on one of those web sites, though

Hi,

To be honest I don't really want that sort of money.......I think money corrupts and is the root of all the evils in the world.

However you could buy me one of the two 911 GT2 on the link provided- and give the rest ot the money to a charity.

http://www.gtclassics.co.uk/gtclassics2.htm

Either that or send me a cheque for the full amount - and i'll let you have a cut.

Take care now!

If you would thought for more than a second you could have got a WR1 from this!! Yet you, as usual rush into these things and opt for a dangerous RWD death-trap.

Sigh!!

Here's my current one.....

<i>FROM:Barr.Stephen Akin
AKIN ETCO CHAMBRE
B.P:61977
Rue Gaitou kpogan
Lome-Togo
Tel:00228 907 8078
Fax:00228 222 4040
Email:stephenvakin@mail.com
TO:WILLIE STROKER
In the first place I must thank you immensely for your
willingness to partner with me in executing this transaction.
I must say that your skepticism about this transaction is quite
understood considering that you are dealing with a total stranger like
me.But be that as it may,I want to assure you that for an erudite Lawyer like me who has been in the legal profession for over two decades,I would have considered all the legal implications around
this whole thing before embarking on this journey.Suffice it to say
that it will be executed within the ambit of the law so as to protect you against any breach of the law.Therefore,the issue of your image being tarnished should not be an issue at all.
My major concern is how to establish your sincerity,because I would
not like you to cheat me out after I must have put in all that it takes
to have success in this business.
If in your heart of hearts you have convinced yourself that you have
no sinister motive,then get back to me immediately with the following information;full contact address,occupation,Age and phone&fax.
I will need these information to raise a letter of introduction
in your name to the finance company.That also will be used in drafting
the text of application you will send to the bank.
I have to address your questions as follows;
Mr.Warner Sanz was given a befitting burial with his family
at the public cemetery here in Togo.He lived and died
here in Togo,West Africa.
Once again I thank you.
Finally,I want you to make up your mind and then get back to me
with the information requested above.
I anticipate good busness relationship with you.
Kindest regards,
Barr.Stephen Akin Esq. </I>

<b>Hi Stephen,

I have decided that I wish to help you.

I have plenty of experience in investment, both with my private finances and on behalf of an extremely profitable and sucessful business I was co-owning a few years back, so there's no need to involve anyone else in the investment side of things. Obviously the fewer people involved, the fewer things that can go wrong, do you not agree? Especially as I sometimes appear on television to commentate on the horse racing, my face is quite familiar.

Any correspondence should be sent to me via e-mail for the time being. The bloody wife checks all the mail at work and answers the phone, so, as I mentioned earlier, I'd better not give you my work address or details just yet.

I have a problem with the telephone situation, though. I'm only contactable on my work phone during the week.I work in a busy office and have a secretary who answers all my calls, so I think it would arouse too much suspicion if I take calls at work. Aside from this, some calls are monitered both by my company and perhaps even by the national security service, MI5. Since Sept. 11th, there has been a dramatic increase in the surveillance of foreign telephone calls in the interests of national security. So let caution be our watchword! Of course I have a phone at home too, but the bloody wife's always on it in the evenings and I really can't risk her finding out about this, legal though it might be. I think for the time being it's best to communicate by e-mail, which is less likely to be monitored. Call me paranoid but who wants to be hauled away in the middle of the night. I'm sure you know the situation!

I look forwards to hearing from you soon.

Willie Stroker</b>

<i>DEAR WILLIE
HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
THANKS FOR GETTING BACK TO ME.
CANDIDLY YOUR MAIL SHOWS HOW MANLY AND RELIABLE YOU ARE.I AM REALLY READY TO PULL THE TRANSACTION WITH YOU.
WHILE I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN ABOUT RELEASING YOUR ADDRESS,I WILL WANT TO ASSURE YOU THAT EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION MUST BE KEPT UTMOST SECRET.
AT THE END OF THE TRANSACTION,I WILL USE MY CONNECTION TO ENSURE THAT THERE IS NO TRACE.

SO IT IS MY APPEAL THAT YOU SEND YOUR ADDRESS TO ME SO THAT I CAN RAISE THE APPLICATION.THIS MUST BE DONE IMMEDIATELY SO THAT WE CAN GET STARTED..
LOOKING FORWARD TO YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
YOU SHOULD CALL ME TODAY ON MY PHONE NUMBER 228-9078078 SO THAT WE CAN DIS CUSS.

BEST REGARDS
STAPHEN AKIN</i>

<b>Hi Stephen,
