Dear [me]
I crave your indulgence as I contact you in such a
surprising manner and I want you to bear in mind that
this is not a hoax But I respectfully insist you read
this mail carefully as I am optimistic it will open
door for unimaginable financial reward for both of us.
I am Barrister Ken Smith,the personal attorney at
law to late Engr StevenMccartney ,a foreigner an oil
merchant/Contractor, herein shall be referred as my
client.
On the 21st of October 2000, my client, his wife and
their three children were involved in a ghastly auto
accident along Shagamu Express Road,unfortunately,all
occupants of the vehicle lost their lives, Since then
I have made several enquiries to locate any of my
client?s extended relatives and this has been
unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided
to track his last name over the Internet to locate
any member of his family or any close name to his,
hence I contacted you, I am contacting you to assist
in repatriating the money left behind by my client
before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable
by standard trust bank nig plc. where this huge amount
USD 9.5million were lodged.
The bank has issued me a notice to provide the next of
kin/Relative or have the account confiscated within
the next 14 banking days.Since I have been
unsuccessful in locating the the relatives for over 3
years now, I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin/Relative of the deceased since you have
the same last name so that this USD 9.5 million can be
transferred into your account and then you and I will
share this fund at the ratio of 30% will be for you
for assisting me and 60% will be me.while 10% will be
for any expences that may accur during the
transaction.
All I require is your honest co-operation and
confidentiality to enable us see this deal through, I
guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of
the law.please contact me through my alternative email

Dear Mr [me]
Happy New year.lt is with joy that welcome you to this great new year.l read your mail and your intention to go on a world Holiday. l amhappy with you for that.l thought that you said that you had an accident .l am confused on the true state of things.
However,l must tell you THAT THIS A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR BUSINESS THAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.l have given to you the documents on my possession others are with the bank. That is why l have expecting you towrite tothe bank so that the forward you with other documents.l do not have towrite than this.

I said:
Dear Ken ,
My ambition of a world holiday is due to the time I will get off work to recover from my unfortunate accident. My luck has recently appeared to increase as I will receive a large sum of money as insurance compensation, Thanks to injurylawyers4u.co.uk “no loans ……. No credit….no catch”.
My weakness for money can now eventually manifest itself truly. I ask where should I send my bank details to, my concern is that there are many criminal impersonators around these days that may make use of my information for wrongful and sinful purposes. I need to make sure my confidentially secure details can reach your good person unhindered. Email perhaps is not the best option. Any ideas ?? , because im scundered thinking about it
Happy new year , [me].

Dear Sir/Madame,
As part of what I expect is an email scam , an individual has informed me that the email address " FAKEBANKEMAIL " is a valid method of contacting Standard Trust Bank Plc. Can you confirm or deny that this email is one which belongs to the company? Please understand that I am sure Standard Trust Bank Plc. is not involved in any sort of scam , I am only tring to discredit the individual who is using the banks name.
P.S. your web page http://www.standardtrust.com/ContactUs.htm has an email link to enquiries@standardtrust.com. (note there is a dot at the end) I believe this is an error and may need to be fixed.
Many thanks for your help,

Dear Ken,
I welcome your request for an update on my health. Between you and me I have minimal injuries inflicted upon me. The art of compensation dictates that I must pretend to be in worse health than may be regarded the truth. This will ensure that my compensation is more that may otherwise be . I think this is a great way of getting money very easily.
Shortly after my accident I thought to myself “[me] , is it just me or is the best thing that has happened to me in a while (well, apart from that time I went to a bar and asked for three pints of beer and only got charged for two!)”.
I like your quote “Health is wealth “ because in my case “pain is gain” .
With regards to the secure transfer of my details, I have successfully sent them to enquiries@standardtrust.com as requested. I am sure they will deal with are issues promptly. How long do you think it will take until I can make use of my released wealth?
Anyway, I need to go and telephone my doctor to see is she can help fix my “extensive” injuries.
Best Regards, [me] “im in pain” McCartney.

Mr Smith ,
When you are at the bank if they have any problems then get them to contact me using the information I have passed to them (telephone number if necessary because I will be at home all day) . If you could also please thank them for providing an excellent service to me and yourself. Im sure you are as glad as I am that things seem to be moving a lot quicker.
As a wise man once said (my boss actually ) - " Stop messing about and get the bloody work done!". Im not sure if he was serious or not , but his comments did seem to do the trick .
By the way if you have any traveling expenses that need paid then pass the receipts and things to me and will be happy to pay the costs for getting to and from the bank.
Have an nice day.
Your client , [me].

Ken , I don't have the nickname "Bobby Dazzler" for nothing . This pussyfooting around is really starting to ramp up my dormant reputation. If the cow says to the chicken , " Why are you so slow in making decisions?" , the chicken will probably say "I never knew cows could talk" . This is why im trying to make this unfortunate accident on the Shagamu Express Road into something that both us use can find pleasure in. I am starting to get concerned with your lack of clear judgment. Why is it not possible to get me the money ASAP , after all that is your role in this crazy situation.
