Dear sir,
AN URGENT BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am pleased to get across to you for a very urgent and profitable business proposal.

I am the manager of Standard Trust Bank Plc.(S.T.B), Ilupeju branch, Lagos _Nigeria. The intended business is thus; we had a customer, a Foreigner (a SWEDISH) resident in Nigeria, he was a Contractor with one of the Government parastatal. He has in his account in my branch the sum of US$14.5 Million (Fourteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.Dollars). Unfortunately, the man died four years ago until today non-of his next of kin has come forward to claim the money. Having noticed this, I, in c! ollaboration with two other top Officials of the bank we have covered up the account all these while.
Now we want you (being a foreigner) to be fronted as one of his next of kin and forward your account and other relevant documents to be advised to you by us to attest to the Claim. We will use our positions to get all internal documentations to back up the claims. The whole procedures will last only ten working days to get the fund retrieved successfully without trace even in future. Your response is only what we are waiting for as we have arranged all necessary things. As soon as this message comes to you kindly get back to me indicating your interest. Then I will furnish you with the whole procedures to ensure that the deal is successfully concluded. For your assistance we have agreed to give you twenty five percent (25%) of the Total sum at the end of the transaction. It is risk free and a mega fortune. All ! correspondence towards this transaction will be through email.
I await your earliest response.
Thanks,Yours Sincerely

Dr John,Halla! I am thinking this is VERY fortunate for us. You need someone who speaks Swedish to be the recipient of the Swedish man's money, and I know some Swedish. Have you ever visited Sweden? "Hello" is "Halla!". Maybe we can visit there together when our business is concluded. After all, Jag ar enda barnet tronarvinge - I am to be the only heir.
I am not sure which bank account you are asking for, one of my personal accounts or a business account. I have both, please let me know. Also, what bank will the money be coming from? If it is not going to be in dollars, please let me know so I can factor in the time and charges it takes to make those conversions.

Date: Thu, 15 May 2003 07:28:23 -0700 (PDT)Dear JOHNSON SCHULER
, Thanks for your email and your good response to my mail, i will not waste any time to let you know that this fund will not waste much time in coming to your account hence I am in office here, it will not last up to two weeks, so far you can be able to do what I told you to do by sending application to the bank for immediate approval and release of the fund direct to your account.
As I told you yesterday that I will fully introduce myself properly to you and give you more details of this fund to enable you know the nature of the transaction.
Infact since after discovering of this fund and non existence of the depositor who owns the fund and non existence of any next of kin to claim the fund, i have been praying to the Almighty God to provide for me an honest business man ( a foreigner) who I can use to transfer this fund out of the country as I am in possession of all the valuable documents concerning this fund. I pray and hope that you are the right person for me, as you know I am a civil servant and all my hope of survival is on the conclusion of this deal and your being faithfully to me at the end of the day.
Before I go further I wish to inform you more about my good self so that you will have detail of who you are dealing with and i have also attached my photograph with this mail, for I know it will boost your confident and trust on me.
I am Dr. John Jones, bank manager of Standard Trust Bank of Nigeria (plc), I am from the northern part of the country born in a renowned Christian family of three (a boy and two girls am the only son) I am 45 years of age a graduate of Ahmed Bello university Zaria, the countrys most popular university. I have work with (STB) for ten years, I married with a wife Agatha and two children Junior and Stephen. I leave in the (STB) staff quarters plot 115 south west Ikoyi Lagos.
I hope you are a Christian too hence I see you as my brother and with the spirit of brotherhood success is going to ours on this transaction. All I need is your honesty and sincerity, the spirit of cheat and backbiting should be erased from our minds. This fund can make you a more wealthier person and at the same time elevate my standard of leaving so let us conclude this deal with one mind/spirit and establish a better relationship that can linger to our children. Please do let me have the details of you and send to me a copies of the vital pages of your international passport or your full photograph.
Now to the process of this payment, as I said all the valuable documents of this transaction are on my possession which I will fax to you so that you can go through it to understand the nature of the deal. I am going to present you as the next of kin to the disease to the board of the (UBA) and I will give you the text of the application which you should retype on your company letterhead to the UBA board requesting the Deposited sum to be paid to you as the next of kin to the bonafide beneficiary of this fund.
As soon as you make this application, the payment will immediately be approved for remittance into the account you will nominate because the Deposited sum has been floating waiting for claim and all the Deposited fund on this category have been paid remaining this USD14.5million.
We need to be fast on this deal there is no need to waste time, I wish to resign for an international business as soon as you confirm to me that the fund has hit your account.
I will furnish you with the necessary documents as soon as I hear from you with your personal data and an assurance that this deal should not be disclosed to any body now and after the conclusion of the deal.
This deal does not need any kind of loudness it should be between me and you a third ear could ruin the deal for us, please adhere to this.
Here is my confidential phone number for this transaction 234-8033216612, as soon as you get this mail, I will like you to call me immediately so that we can discuss more about this transaction ok. Regards as I expect your urgent response and phone call.
Yours brother
Dr John Jones

Notice these parts above: "board of the (UBA)" and "the UBA board"? The UBA is the United Bank of Africa. Our Lad (who is with STB of course) can't keep his scams straight.

Thanks to Groucho Marx for most of the travelogue.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,Halla! I am confused, you are talking in circles. I have Already given you my bank account number. What are you waiting for, man? Just send the money over, stop playing around with bank boards. Why do you need me to retype things on my company letterhead (paper) when we can transfer the money electronically (email)? Explain your goodself, man, don't be such ett dumhuvud.
Thank you for the biography. I am a musician, that is why I have traveled so many places. Sweden is a special place to me. So is Africa. Africa is God's country, and he can have it. I've visited South Africa, playing as part of a band. I went hunting there, looking for elks. The elks live up in the hills, and in the spring they come down for their annual convention. It is very interesting to watch them come to the water hole. And you should see them run when they find it is only a water hole. We tried to remove the tusks of an elephant that had been shot but they were embedded in so firmly that we couldn't budge them. Of course in Alabama the Tuscaloosa but that's entirely irrelephant to what I was talking about. We took some pictures of the native girls, but they weren't developed, but we're going back again in a couple of weeks.
I met my wife when I was on tour in Sweden, that's how I picked up so much of the language. She's a special lady. A special, special lady. She doesn't mind me traveling so much and often accompanies me. Perhaps we can introduce her to your Agatha. Send me your wife's email address and I will have my wife contact her.
Let's get moving on our business! Don't waste any more of our precious time!

The DOC attachment was the letter to the bank. We have a new dead bank customer! Come on down, Carlos Heskey!
kriminell verksamhet = criminal activity.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,Halla! I read through the letter and quite frankly I am glad you contacted me, since there are some parts of it that should be rewritten. Like in the first line, "remittance" only has one "m". And at the end, you never ask for the application to be granted, you tell them to grant it. Plus you got my name wrong, it's JOHNSON SCHULER, not Mr Johnson. And I cleaned up the fax part.
I added some Swedish to it, since Mr Heskey was Swedish. Here is the revised document.

han är en riktig förlorare = he's a real loser
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,Halla! Your Agatha is fortunate to have such a husband. But I do not think you read my email right. I cannot fax from here. Please send in the fax to the directors, I cannot send international faxes from this motel. It will probably be some time before I could do so. The life of a musician, you know.
Lydia will be very excited to have a foreign pen pal. I will not tell her the nature of our business relationship. After all, she's a woman. I'm sure she'd say of you "han är en riktig förlorare" if you know what I mean.
Let me know when the fax is sent. As the letter you approved says, ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS TO PROVE THIS FUND ARE IN MY ASSOCIATE'S POSSESSION AND HE WILL FAX THEM TO YOU WHENEVER YOU NEED IT.
So they will not be surprised to receive this fax from you, my associate.

Dear Agatha,Thank you for answer to my email, I sorry English is not my first language, some words I have to use Swedish. You are very good with it. Thank you for herbs but does not help when Johnson is not here.
Your husband travel for work, is hard to trust him? I worry, my Johnson goes places, I not know where my Johnson go into all the time you know. I work and earn the money for the house. I give him money to take on trips but he is musician and pank. So I take care of business.
Do you know if there is way to get tattoos removed? I have tautering of "Johnson" on my inner lar, I am now thinking was not a good idea you know.

Happy to hear from you, infact i am sorry that you enter yourself with that type of thing, why did you alow him to draw a tatoos on your inner lar?
Infact, i have fall the victim with one of my friend before i got married with Dr.John Jones, i know what it tooks me to get it out, i have a very big love om him before i allow him to draw such thing on me.
My dear, i dont know if i tell you what to do so that you can remove it, if you will tell it to your husband, you have to understant that if you tell your husband that i am the person that gave you the cleaner that remove it, he will tell it to my husband and you know that he is a very good friend of my husband.
I will advise you, but you have to promise me that you will not tell your husband that i am the person that gave you the Tattos cleaner ok.
I am going now to make an arragement on how to send to you the Tattos cleaner so that you will remove it immediately ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest so that you can give me go ahead to bring the Tattos cleaner ok.

Mrs Agatha,Thank you for concern but I not want to use chemicals. Why did I do it I was in love, like they say in my hometown fröken i skolan var min första förälskelse. I'm sure that is true for you too.
Many of my people get tattoos of their loves. But I worry that if Johnson and I are not together then I should get rid of it. I control the money in the house so it would be easy for me to get on my two feet as they say.
Can you tell me about the time when you were victim of love?

AGATHA JONES [agathajones2003@yahoo.com]
Date: Wed, 21 May 2003 03:31:58 -0700 (PDT)Dear Lydia,
Happy to hear from you, infact i fall the victim the time i have not got this my husband, i fall the victim with mr Musa, i hope and trust him that time that he must surely get married with me and at the end of the day, he could not marry me again.
After i have that problem with him, i went to my friend in Nigeria here and tell her every thing about me and Mr Musa, how we are in love before and what he draw on my body, did you know that Mr musa draw a tattos on my full body to the extent that no person can talk to me again, if some one want to talk to me as soon as he saw that tattos, he will run away and say that Mr Musa will kill him, no man can come to me again.
My dear, as i told my friend every thing and show her my body, she took me to where i bought the chemical, (tattos cleaner) they told me how i will use it and i apply it to my body, evey thing about the tattos dissappearred immediately the next day.
Lydia, i know how you can remove it so that your husband will not suspect you, you have to use a chemical, it will be dissappearing little by little so that your husband will not know that you apply a chemical on it, before some weeks, it will dissappear and your husband will suspect that the tattos has expired ok.
Had it been that you are so closed to me here, i could have take you to the place i bought the tattos cleaner ok, but if you need it, i can still send it to you by courrier service so that in the next three days, you will recieve it ok.
Firstly, you have to promise me that you will not tell it to your husband that you apply a tattos cleaner on your body, so that i can send it to you ok.
You dont need to be afriad, i will clean it up ok, you have to send to me your full address where i will send the tattos cleaner so that you will get it and use it ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Regards,
A. Jones.

Dr John,Halla! I have received their request FINALLY. What does it take to get people to work in that bank?
My only concern is that they expect me to be there physically. That's just plain silly. They have my account number, there is no need for me to be in the bank office. But if that is what they need then I will go to the headquarters of the Standard Trust Bank and find their offices. They say it can be anytime in the next two weeks. It's time to sätta in dödsstöten.
There's also a small fee, please send them $145 to cover everything. It's a good thing it wasn't more or I'd have to ask Lydia for more money - she's been acting very strangely lately.

Dear Dr Mark,Thank you. My associate will likely be meeting with you in my stead, as I am traveling at the moment. He will bring the $145 fee you requested.

If you want to get this chemical this week, you have to send the money immediately so that i can send it by courrier service immediately ok.
You can send the money by western union with my secretary name: George Osondu, lagos Nigeria.

Mrs Agatha,Thank you, country is United States. Who is George Osondu? I wouild not use a man with that name for busness. In Swedish, osondu is "unhealthy". If you had an unhealthy busness, it would be said osondu affarsmetoder. For unhealthy living words is osondu livsforing. I not am wanting chemicals from an osondu person! Is like going to Doctor named Killer!
I not know where Western Union is. I live in the Eastern US, not the Western US. I will check for Eastern Union. Will be simplest if you send cleaner and include return envelope in the package I will then send currier money to you in envelop. You are true dum i huvet asna.

Happy to hear from you, i am sorry that you said that osondu in an unhealthy person in swedish language but here, it is a honest man ok.
Mr osondu is my secretary here in my office, he is the only person i trust ok, you have to understand that i cannot go to the bank and get money unless i send some body ok
If you send it with mr osondu name, it is save ok, i trust him, i am not going to send him to courrier service, and i will not tell him what we are doing ok, dont worry your self, go ahead and send it with his name ok.
As for the western union, you have to ask for it, go to the bank and ask where you can send money to Nigeria, we call it western union money transfer ok. Not eastern union.
No matter the place you are living in America, you will see the western union office near you ok. as for sending money through courrier service, it is not working, they will take the money, i prefer western union ok.
Meanwhile, if you dont need that name, i will give you another name so that you will use and send it ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
God Bless,
A. Jones.
LYDIA SCHULER
Mrs Agatha,Why can you not go to bank? I am worried that it is because the chemical did something to you, you can not go in public. Please tell me.
I will put money in many envelopes in courrer envelop, they will not know what I put inside. Please send. If is not hear by Friday then will have to wait, Johnson and I are meeting for long weekend while he is on touring.
I have never heard of Western Union. If I am at bank would be simpler to ask them for cash then to ask for directions to other busness! Maybe would be simpler if I send you ATM card.

Dr John,Halla! Yes, they said I needed $145 for the transaction. That seemed high for such a simple matter, so I checked again and that was the number. So please send that to them, it is not much and even one day's worth of interest should cover that.

Listen very well, i am a woman like your type, i cannot tell you lie, if at all the it will burn your skin, i will not tell you that i know about it.

Why we are calling it chemical is because it remove a sturborn things, but the real name is TATTOS CLEANER. ok.

Dear Dr Mark,Thank you for confirming that the fee is 0.001% of the fund. That seems very high to me but my associate has agreed to pay it.
As for the value, you are incorrect. The fund is $14,500,000. 0.001% of that is $145, which my associate will provide to you. You can verify that equation on any calculator. There is no way the answer could be any different. In order for the fee to be $7250, the total for the fund would have to be $725,000,000, but as you clearly stated in your first email the fund is at $14,500,000.00. So $145 it is. My associate will provide that to you.

Thank you for your mail, infact i am surprised that you said that they told you to pay a total sum of $145 dollars, i have gone to the Director international remittance and saw every thing there, it is not $145 dollars, you have to cheek very well and know how much the told you ok so that we can conclude this bussines immediately.
Why i told you that i will involve a lawyer, is you told me that the said that you will come to Nigeria for signing the document, i know that you will not have chance for that, that is why we have to bring lawyer to stand on your behalf and sign the document, that is how people are doing it here ok.
Please find out the total amount and tell me immediately ok.

Do not hire a lawyer. I am thinking that for this much money I should be there in person to make sure nobody tries to vara otacksam mot sin välgörare, you know.

Thank you for your mail and well understand, infact if you can come to the bank here, it is good but why i told you to stay so that i will hire a lawyer to enable him sign on your behalf is because of money involvement and you coming down here and questions may arise if the see you which i dont know what it will be, but as of me, i will like you to come and sign the document ok.
Secondly, i have cheek in the office here for the fee on your file, you are telling me to pay $145 dollars, that is not what they told you, they are requesting you to pay a total fee of 0.001% of the total fund, which i have sort out and see that it is almost $7,300 dollars.
My dear, this amount of money will not make us not to get this fund transferred to your account, if at all that it is that small money you are talking before, i could have pay it since ok.
We have to arrange our self properly before your coming so that we will not make any mistake ok. I told the lawyer to wait until i hear from you that you may decide to come by your self ok.
My dear, tell me how much you have at hand so that i will add it to the one i have here to enable you pay off the fee so that the bank will understand that you are serious and you are coming to sign the document soon ok.
As soon as you get this mail, please reply immediately ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,Halla! It was a good set, you should have heard us.
You are wrong about the fee. The bank director himself told me that the fee is 0.001% of the total fund like you said. The fund is $14,500,000. 0.001% of that is $145. So if they tell you any different they are LYING TO YOU. Maybe somebody there is trying to steal from you. No matter what they say, do not give them more than $145!!!! Just give them the $145 and that will take care of everything. I have several letters from the director in which he says only $145 is needed. Any other number is WRONG.
Like I said, I plan to go to the headquarters myself so if you cannot come up with $145 (which I would be shocked by, given how much you stand to make!) I will bring it with me.
Will you meet me at the headquarters or should we meet after I have finished getting the money moved? I will see Lydia tomorrow and ask her for the travel money. Well, back to the van for another trip.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr Mark,How did you get to be a bank director without being able to do math?
You say
0.01% is $14,500 (which is wrong, but let's pretend it's right for a second).
Then you say
0.001% = %7,250
That's wrong. 0.001% is one-tenth of 0.01%. Do you at least understand that? There is NO WAY that 14500 divided by 10 is 7250. And your base number is WRONG anyway. 14500000 * .01% is 1450. 14500000 * 0.001% is $145. You can verify this on any calculator. Even on your PC - bring up the calculator, then put in 14500000 times 0.001 and hit the percent sign. See how easy that is?
I will bring the $145. I will not bring one cent more, since that is what you have now told me three times is the charge.
If you are not comfortable doing basic math, perhaps you can find a worker there who knows how to multiply correctly.

You should now my possition in the bank here, i am not the type somebody can tell lie or can tell something that is not in the banking procedure ok.
My dear, what i think you can do is, tell the bank that you are coming to Nigeria, but before that, you have to tell the director what you are going to pay, he is a man like you, intead of delaying things, tell him how much you have at hand so that before your coming we have to arrange the total amount at hand here so that as soon as you arrives here in the next day, they will releadse the fund to you ok
Please go ahead and contact him, tell him how much you have and went you will send it to him ok. remember what i told you, i cannot pay any money on your behalf here becuse they may suspect me.
Please what ever the director tells you, do let me know immediately ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,

Dr John,The bank director is an idiot or a thief, he thinks that $14500 divided by 10 is 7250. And he cannot do percents. A percent is one-hundredth. 0.001% of 14500000 is one hundred thousandth = $145. Anybody with a calculator and a brain can see that.
So, since you do not seem to be willing to pay the $145, I will come there and do it myself. Under NO circumstances should you pay more than $145.
I am off on travel with Lydia now, will be back Tuesday.

Date: Mon, 26 May 2003 12:42:52 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail and for your understanding, infact, you did not understand what i said, i did not say that you will pay $145,000 dollars, what i said is, if at all is the time the Director is wicked, he could have given you sucgh amount to pay, but i thank God he didn't tell you to pay such amount of money ok.
Meanwhile, i have gone very well on your file here, there is nothing we can do because he have already wrote the total fee to be paid on your file, what i want you to do is, please plead for him, let us see if he can reduct some money from it so that as soon as the fund is transferred, you have to balance it immediately ok.
My dear, days are going, we have to be fast ok, send a mail to him for plead ok.
Please i will advise you, there is no need of douting him, i know how they do behave, we have to pay them as soon as he reduct something from it so that he can transfer the fund immediately ok.
I have arrange some money on my side, please what ever he reduct it, let me know immediately so that we can put heads together and settle this fee to enable them transfer the fund direct to your account ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
Dr. John.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr Jones,HALLA.
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? HE HAS ONLY EVER ASKED FOR $145. IF THERE IS ANY EXTRA CHARGE, YOU SHOULD COVER IT. WE CAN TAKE IT FROM THE PROFITS. YOU SAID I AM SUPPOSED TO PAY $145,000, THAT IS NOT TRUE UNLESS YOU MEANT TO USE A PERIOD INSTEAD OF A COMMA, $145.000. THE THIRD ZERO IS NOT NECESSARY.
I DON'T CARE WHO WROTE WHAT ON A FILE. QUIT WASTING MY TIME WITH SECRETARY MISTAKES AND BROKEN CALCULATORS. THE IMPORTANT THING IS TO CONCLUDE THE BUSINESS, NOT TO FIND OUT WHY DR MARK PETER FAILED THIRD GRADE MATH.
I WILL BE THERE SHORTLY. TELL DR MARK TO WRITE THE RIGHT NUMBER ON THE FILE AND STOP WASTING OUR PRECIOUS TIME!!!

Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 02:47:05 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, infact my brother, there is no way for us to continue taking about only one problem, what we should talk is only how we can settle this fee and get this fund transferred into your account.
My dear, please stop using hard voice tone to write Dr. Mark Peter, you dont know his position here in the bank, you should know that every body will not have the same understanding, because of his connection the father has with the Nigeria ministry of works, that is why he aws able to become one ofthe directors to the bank.
Please for the success of this bussines, follow my instructions ok., he may diced to frustrate us if you use hard voice oh him, here is Nigeria, they dont follow any law here for your informations.
Now to the success of this bussines, how much can you help for me to pay off this fee and wait for your arrival here to enable us get ready for the transfer so that they will prepare your documents so that as soon as you comes, you endorese the document for transfer ok.
Please do let me know immediately as day are running down for us.let me know the date of your coming and your flight schedule ok
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
Dr. John.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. What do you mean there is no law in Nigeria? Didn't you just have an election? Listen, I do not understand what you are asking for. You ask for help paying off fee, I will plan to bring 14,500 pennies if that will solve the fee problem. Dr Mark seems to have plenty of time to just play on email with made-up numbers. If he wants extra money from you, you need to stand up to him and negotiate like a man. Don't take his word for it! Here's what you do: Tell him you can't afford the full fee but you will give him 0.001% of $100,000. He will agree. Then give him $1.
I will plan to be there some time next week after this trip ends. I am thinking of going straight from the airport to the bank offices since you say there is some lawlessness to deal with. Then we will finish the business, like satsa pengar p ett project. Please send the address of the bank headquarters.

DR JOHN JONES shows how little he knows about directors at American corporations:Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 09:20:31 -0700 (PDT)
Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, infact you did not understand me very well, i told you that director have some power to do any thing he like, because of his long leg in the society here. It doest not mean that our country Nigeria does not have a law, there is law but American law and Nigerian laws are not the same ok.
In America, no Director will behave like this Dr. Mark, but his father is in the Government, that is why he is doing less concern, but lets that be by the way ok.
My dear, i dont know why you cannot follow my instructions, i want to get every thing ready so that as soon as you arrives, what you will do is only to sign the document and get the fund transferred immediately ok.
I have agree on what you said that i will pay the fee, that what you can help is only small amount, there is no problem, i want you to help me so that i can complete the money and pay off this fee immediately before your coming ok.
I will talk to Dr. Mark for a help to reduce some money for me ok.
Please my dear, i need some thing like $1000 dollars from you to enable me complete the money and get every thing ready before your coming next week as you said ok.
You have to understand that time is no longer on our side, please be fast so that we can pay the fee for them to know that you are serious and you are coming ok.
You can send the money direct to Dr. Mark and tell him that i will bring him the balance ok.
Please dont let him know my name, just tell him that your associate is coming to balance the complete money ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
Dr. John.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. Your letter is confusing, I have follow every instruction. You say we need to pay Dr Mark because he has long legs, I really don't care how long his legs are, its irrelephant. I already told you not too worry about the $7250 that is not the real fee so I do not know why you are asking for $1000. I would need to ask Lydia for that much and I do not understand your confusion.
I agree that time is short but that is because Dr Mark has wasted so much of my time with his inability to do the kind of math that young schoolchildren do. I will show up with my $145 and that will be the end of it. I will be flying in next week, it looks like British Airways has several flights a day from DC to Lagos through London.
Please send directions from the airport to the bank headquarters.
Dra åt helvete!

Thank you for your mail, infact there is nothing that will confuse you in my mail, unless you dont follow you mail carefully you will understand it ok.
My rerquesting $1,000 dollars from you, is for me to get every thing ready here before your coming next week as you told me that you will be here ok.
You have to understand that i will make sure that i lobby some of the office and seats here to enable the sign the release oder immediately before your arrival.
I have been doing my best here, i have almost$2,500 dollars with me here and i hope that if you can send $1,000 dollars, it will help so that if i pay half payment of the fee Dr. Mark gave us, he can release the fund and sign for the release oder ok.
Please my dear, we need to pay this money immediately, and i am starting now to arrage for your coming, i will lobby all the seats to make sure that as soon as you comes, they will give you the document to sign for easy transfer ok.
You can tell Dr Mark that you will like to send to him $1000 dollars, and you have send some one to pay $2,000 dollars on your behalf ok.
I am going to use the remening $500 dollars with me to arrange every thing here to make that my arragement is properly done ok.
Plesae, dont wast time in replying me, as i would want us to conclude this bussines today so that i will arrage for your coming ok.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. I am not interested in buying seats in a lobby. What are you talking about? I am glad to hear you have all the money you need to pay the fee. I was starting to worry you would not be a good business partner.
I am not sure why you want me to send Dr Mark $1000. He has never asked me to send him $1000 and it may seem odd to him if $1000 just shows up from nowhere unexpected. I know if someone sent me $1000 for no reason I would be suspicious. If there is some reason why Dr Mark needs $1000 you should give it to him yourself directly so there will not be any suspicion, you can explain your reasons which you have not explained to me.
I am trying to get the money from Lydia to pay for the travel. She is a tough person to convince, hon besvarade inte hans kärlek as they say. Please send bank address!

Dr Mark,I am not traveling on American Airlines. I expect to travel on British Airways, which lands during the daytime, not midnight like you said. Please provide directions and address for your bank headquarters since my associate informs me that lawlessness is a problem in Nigeria. It is interesting that you have programmable cars, I have not seen a computer car here but one time in Sweden I saw a car that ran on a computer program. It would go zooming down the street then it would stop very fast at red lights. You had to wear good seat belts. But it was like a train, you could read in it while it drove but it was very jerky on stops and starts. I was in one one time but it ran into a VW Bug.
My associate will be handling the payment of the signing fee, I will be bringing the $145 due as a transfer fee. I will also be bringing some lovely new calculators as gifts.

HALLA,
Thank you for your mail, infact you dont understand me very well, i told you that you have to send a mail to Dr. Mark, tell him that you will send a part payment of $1000 dollars to him and you will send some body to his office to come and complete the balance ok.
I dont know why you cant follow my instruction, i know this country more than you and i am a banker, i am in the system, i know it more than you ok.
Please, ask him how do you send the fee he requested to enable him start the process of the payment. i am here in the bank and i am seeing every thing here ok.
You should know the nature of the deal we are doing, and i will not like in a situation where you will start argure with the director, it will cost a lot of things ok.
Before i deposit any money, you have to tewll him first that you will send somebody to pay for the fee, meanwhile, you will let him know that you can send money to someone to pay for you to enable him have full trust that you are the next of kin to the beneficiary of the fund ok.
There are things that you will do he will start suspecting you, he may think that i am doing this deal with you so that we will share the money, that is why i dont want to present myself before your arrival or pay any money before you ok, if not that i could have conclude every thing here and wait for your arrival ok.
Please do what i told you to do, time is too late to wait for you till next week before you come.
Please do that immediately.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,
Dr. John.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Why didn't you say that before? I don't know what you mean about not following your instruction, I have done everything you asked. I even gave you my bank details. If you need advance money, just send me your bank account number and I will transfer the money from my account to yours, you will have it instantly. Or send me Dr Marks account number, whatever.
You are worried about Dr Mark suspecting you? He is not smart enough to do simple math, I do not expect him to be smart enough to suspect you. I already told him that my associate would be coming by with the extra fee. He was happy to hear that, he offered to get me a new computer guided car for my visit. So pay him. What are you waiting for? I have already promised to pay him the $145 fee he requested even though I think that is a ripoff.
I have done all of the work but you complain about time delays. It's a good thing I will be there next week to finish this by hand. I am trying to get hold of Lydia to get the plane fare money but she is at the library working today.
Halla.

(cc to Dr John Jones)Dear Dr Mark,
My associate asks if he can please send you $1000 as a gesture of good faith. Looking at the costs that are due, I think this means that you will give us a refund of $855 when the transfer is complete. You can provide this in either cash or in a bank check.
Please provide directions, office location, etc.

DR JOHN JONES [josjs2000@yahoo.com]
Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 07:33:12 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, firstly, i have not given Dr. Mark any money because the money i have with me is not up to half of the fee.
Why i told you that you should send a little deposit to him before i can introduce myself properly to him as your associate here, is for him not to suspect me. Secondly, you know that i am here in the bank, i know every thing and system here, i want in a situation where every thing will be very easy for you when you come so that they will be fast in transferring the fund into your account.
Remember that the documents you will sign have not been printed, and why theo Director is requesting that fee is from there they will reduct money for the document, there is no way the bank will take there own money and prepare document for you until you come.
Listen properly, if you arrives today and pay the money to the bank, it will take them almost 4- 6 days to prepare the document, that is why i told you to pay an advance to him so that they will start preparing the document to enable you sign immediately as soon as you comes ok.
Please my dear, for the success of this deal, you have to send the money immediately, there is no way you will send it through bank, it will take some time before i get it here, i am advising you to send it through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER.
Go to the bank and tell them that you want to send money to Nigeria so that the person will recieve it immediately, please dont ever tell the western union people what you want to do with the money here because a lot international monitoring are in America ok, just tell them you are sending it to your friend but dont tell them that we want to use it and transfer fund ok.
You can send it MARK PETER or you use my secretary name wife name and send it.
Mrs. AGATHA NWADIKE ok.
My dear, i want you to conclude this arrangement this week to enable them prepare to wait for your arrival, if not that, they will think that you are not serious ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Regards,
Dr. John.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,WHAT? 4 to 6 days to print the documents?? I did not plan to be in Lagos for that long. I will need to alter my tour schedule. I am glad you told me this, I still cannot believe it is true. Should I bring a printer with me, it could be as a gift but will also help the business end faster. I am serious businessman and do not see the need for your people to suffer with bad equipment.
Since you are at a bank, I can just send the money directly to your account, you will have it immediately like an instant message. I will not be able to get to a Western Union office until tomorrow, but I could call the bank right now and get the money transferred to your account. Send me the account information and I can get the money to you within hours.

Then I'm traveling back home to DC all weekend. Monday morning would be the earliest I could do a Western Union, but I will be leaving here on a plane on Monday morning so I will just bring money with me.
If you need money before then, give me your private bank account that way no one could suspect any thing.
I got my flights. I will be flying out on British Airways, leaving DC at 8 AM on Monday, 6/2 and arriving in Lagos at 5 AM on Tuesday, 6/3. It's British Airways 224, Virgin Airways 651, with a change of planes in London. Coming back, I depart Lagos at 11 PM on 6/4.
Is that enough time to be on the ground there? I'm worried that if it takes you four days to print one piece of paper I may be sitting around watching ink dry while my return plane takes off without me and my bandmates wonder where I am.
Please send directions to the bank headquarters from the airport.

Date: Thu, 29 May 2003 13:39:44 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, infact i am very happy to hear that you are ready to come to Nigeria, but the fact still remain that we have to make proper prelimenary arrangement before your coming so that you dont get to waste uneccessary time here.
As i have tried to explain to you before. there are some documents which you need to have with you while visiting the bank such as THE DISEASED DEATH CERTIFICATE, TAX CLEARANCE among other documents which i still need to retrieve from the respective ministries, which is the main reason why i need to get the little fund to get all the document at hand before your arrival.
My dear, to avoid your wasting time here whem you arrives which as i have seen from your schedule you do not have such time, you should try your possible best to pass on the fund to me through western union or moneygram transfer.
I do not have domicillary account that can recieve the money from out side bank.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. Are you trying to tell me that you do not have a bank account? You work in a bank! Open one!
Really, I don't see why I have to do the thinking for both of us on things like this. You know when I will be there, have EVERYTHING READY AHEAD OF TIME. You could have had all that done WEEKS ago. But I forgive your errors in not getting those documents so far, but you must, MUST, have them ready for when I get there. If you need extra money in your bank account before I get there, just send me the account number and the transfer code and the money will be sent immediately. You already have my account number. Western Union will not be an option for me until Monday and I already told you I will be in a plane then.
Since you haven't provided your account number I can only think that you do NOT need the money until next week. So everything must be going ahead on schedule.
If there is anything else required, tell me NOW. I do NOT want any surprises once I get on the ground there, you understand?
By the way, that fjart Dr Mark still has not provided me ANY information for getting to the bank headquarters or a decent hotel lodging. Please send that immediately. There is no time to waste!

Dear Dr John,Halla. I will order the transaction this afternoon. How much do you need, you did not say. As for this friend of yours, if he demands payment then you will need to pay him from your proceeds since you have chosen to put him into my business. I ask again - WHAT TASKS HAVE YOU NOT YET COMPLETED? Must I do everything myself?
Since you never told me where the bank is, I asked my travel agent and she says I need to go to Victoria Island for bank head quarter. I thought I was supposed to go to Lagos. Where is that island, and how do I get there from the airport? My plane arrives at 5 AM so by the time I get luggage and get through immigration the bank should be open so I will take a cab straight there and meet you there ok.
Last, make a reservation for a hotel room that has balcony overlooking water. I expect a full suite to host a party on Tuesday night. You are invited of course :). If it is near places where bands play that would be best.
PS I will travel under a secret name to avoid suspicion.
Dra åt helvete!

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. I keep asking this - WHY won't you tell me what still needs to be done? I TOLD you, I do not want any surprises when I land and now you won't say what still needs to be done. Now I ask again, and you need to tell me - WHAT, EXACTLY, STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE? And why haven't you done it yet? We should have been done weeks ago.
You can make the hotel reservation under my name, my flight arrangements are under a different name so my damn wife doesn't get suspicious.
I am going to call the bank now and order the transfer, but you owe me a full accounting of the tasks to be done. No surprises, understand. And I am very worried about the hotel - you already told me there is lawlessness there and now you say don't worry? I want the hotel details, including a picture of the suite. I will be carrying too much cash with me to take any risks with flea motels.

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr Jones,BITCH FROZE MY ACCOUNT. Did your Agatha have anything to do with this? I have the $10K cash I withdrew plus my tickets and credit cards, but this kills my ability to do a straight transfer. I'm on a plane on Monday morning, I will pack the cash in my suitcase. She is threatening to stop me but she doesn't know where I'm going or the name I'm traveling under.
I will meet you at the Victoria Island bank head office on Tuesday at 8 AM, not a minute later. The travel agent said I need to get a cab to Oyin Jolayemi Street wherever that is. Now listen, I still have not received ANY list from you of things still to be done. That can ONLY mean that there is NOTHING left to be done, no surprises. I land at 5 AM, we meet at the bank at 8 AM, we do the business, we are done and rich. Where's the hotel reservation you were supposed to have done? I have had enough surprises already today. You make sure your Agatha isn't in on something with Lydia to steal the money you understand? I gotta go pack.

Date: Sat, 31 May 2003 05:09:18 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, you tell me that you could not send the money i requested from you to enable me arranged every thing before your arrival? there is no problem, what i can advice you is, you dont need to be in the bank there before me, dont worry your self, about going to the bank, i will take you there by myself, but before then i must have arranged every document we needed for this deal.
Let me ask you, if you go to the bank there only you, what will you tell the bank that you are while you dont have the document to prove at hand, please remember the nature of the deal we are doing, we must arrange every document so that if we are going to the bank to meet director, we must make sure that all the document are complete ok.
As you said that you can't be able to send the money again because your wife froze your account, please before you enter the flight monday morning, you have to go to the western union money transfer and send it immediately as you said before that it is the only day you will have chance for the western union ok.
Why i am saying this is, you said that you will go back on the next day, for me to get all the neccessary things required, you have to send the money immediately on monday before you enter the flight ok.
If you can send the money on that day, if you arrives, there is no other thing remaining execpt to sign and pay for the signing fee ok..
I am going to send you all information of your coming, the hotel you will lodge, how you will cross the imegration here so that they will not suspect you that you came to carry money out ok.
Please be patience, i am going to send you information soonest ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Regards,
Dr. John.
JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,"Be patient"???? How long does it take you to book a hotel suite? Print out the documents and have them ready, there can be NO DELAYS, NO MISSING DOCUMENTS, there is not going to be time to wait four days for a printer to spit out a piece of paper. My plane leaves at 8 AM on Monday so I need to be at the airport by 5 AM. I will be bringing cash with me to cover the business expenses but you still haven't told me what those are so I can only assume you have everything covered. There's no reason to send money by Western Union on Monday since I will be there on Tuesday and I doubt I could find a place open at 5 AM on Monday anyway.
You can either meet me at the Lagos airport on Tuesday morning at 5 AM or if you miss me there you better get to the bank office on Victoria Island by 8 AM if you want this business to happen. I am fed up with the delays, this was supposed to be done weeks ago.
Johnson.

Date: Sun, 1 Jun 2003 08:21:51 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Jonhson,
Thank you for your mail, and i am very sorry that i could not reply you immediately due to internet problem we are having here ok.
Right now, i have booked a hotel for you, and i will be at the airport there to wait you ok.
Listen to me properly,
(1) Dont ever tell any body at the airport what you are coming to do in Nigeria, you have to understand the nature of the bussines we are doing.
(2) I have sent people who will come and pick you up as soon as you arrives ok.
(3) necer tell any body the hotel you are going to lodge for security reasons ok.
(4)You have my phone number, before you enter your plane, you have to call me immediately be indicatiing to me that you have board the plane ok.
(5)You dont need to worry your self about your arrival here, i have made a proper arrangement so that if you arrives, they will take you to the hotel immediately ok.
(6) As soon as you arrives, in the morning, i will move immediately to go and get the documents so that every thing will be ready before the bank will open ok.
(9) In case of any thing, you have my number, you can call me immediately on 234-80-33216612.
Please as soon as you get this mail, do call me immediately.
I am looking for your urgent response.
Best regards,

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dear Dr John,Halla. Sounds great. But you must understand, I am not leaving the airport with anyone other than you, thank you for sending me your picture before. If anyone else approaches me, I will pretend I do not know them and I will not go with them. I do not want to be robbed by an imposter, thank you for letting me know how lawless Nigeria can be. I am traveling with too much cash to take that kind of chance. I will go directly from there to the bank since I am told that hotels can be dens of thieves, and YOU STILL HAVE NOT TOLD ME THE HOTEL. So I have left my travel agent a message to make a reservation for me. I trust bank lobbies more than hotel lobbies you understand ok.
I still have not found Lydia, she doesn't answer the phone at home. I may have to cut my trip there shorter because of this so you must be ready the second I touch down at 5 AM Tuesday.
I will bring the $145 that the director says I owe. I think you said you owe $1000, you need to take care of that. In case something happens to my suitcase with my cash, I found a Western Union that would do a transfer today, I sent $1000 to you, JOHN JONES, in a city called Abuja. They said it was safer than Lagos and very close by. So that will be the backup in case British Airways loses my bag and the $$$$ in it.
Off to bed, see you Tuesday AM.

Date: Mon, 2 Jun 2003 00:56:46 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
Thank you for your mail, i told you to call me yesterday and you could not make it why? please before you enter the plane, you have to let me know that you have board the plane ok.
Secondly, you said that you send a western union to me at Abuja, where is the control number?, why do you do it like that? i gave you name you will use and you didnt do it like that why?
Remember what i told you, please if they ask you what type of Bussines are you coming to do in Nigeria, please do not let them know as you know the nature of the bussines we are doing ok.
Secondly, there is no way i will take you to the bank without arranging all the documents needed for it, before we can move straight to the bank, this is why i told you to send the money since but without minding, every thing will be ready before the bank opens as i will move immediately you arrives and make arrangement and get all the neccessary documents before the bank opens ok.
I am looking forward to hear from you soonest.
Best regards,

Dear Dr Jones,Can you help me out? Lydia and I are delayed in London. She intercepted me at Heathrow while I was changing planes, she was waiting for me. I guess I never will fool that woman. She and I had a long talk here in the airport and I missed my connection to Lagos. Tried calling your phone but it didn't go through. We're working things out and she will be coming with me to Nigeria.
Tomorrow's flight is booked solid so we can't get there together till Thursday morning, we're camping out at the airport internet lounge and waiting to fly standby. She is looking forward to meeting Agatha.
Meanwhile, MY SUITCASE WITH MY MONEY MADE THE TRIP TO LAGOS! Damn airlines. The suitcase made the connection, I didn't. My suitcase is at the British Airways security counter at the Lagos airport, the airport people connected me to the desk there and I talked to them, they will hold it for a week. Can you do me a favor and pick it up for me, I really don't want all that cash just sitting there under the guard of somebody making a few dollars an hour ok I want it in the hands of you who I trust. We will be there on 6/5 and then we can finish the business ok.
All you have to do is go to the British Airways desk in the baggage claim area and give them the name I'm flying under, Hiemel Kiedda. He's a Swedish radio announcer but they won't know that. They may ask you to show you an ID that has that name on it, but they probably won't you know airport security ok.
Let me know when you get the suitcase. We have tickets for the flight that leaves here at 10:30 on Virgin flight 651, arriving Lagos at 5 AM on 6/5.

Date: Tue, 3 Jun 2003 03:24:57 -0700 (PDT)Dear Brother Johnson,
No gain my writing here, how I astonished and downcast, I am reading your mail with regards to how your trip to lagos was aborted half way but I must add here that I am some what relieved now that it is only due to a matrimonial problem. As I was complete kept on suspense thinking that something worse has happened to you.
I think the problem was mainly is because you kept your wife in the dark in the first place, as for me I do not see any thing bad in coming with her after all she is your wife or donÕt you think that if not for any thing you need her around to ease your nerves in such an anxious moment.
As for your briefcase, there is nothing I can do about that until you are here by yourself as what you are asking me to do will obviously mean my overstepping by bounds considering my official position and most importantly the sensitive nature of our deal.
NOTE: We should be more in contact with each other now until you arrives here to avoid further miss up. To this, you could reach me on this my direct number 234-17767868, it is a digital line and it is easier to get through.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soonest.

Lydia is very suspicious. She called our travel agent today to make our own hotel reservations since I told her that you never did that. She was trying to get a place near the bank head quarter. We still plan to be there on the 5 AM flight on 6/5.

Thank you for your mail, infact, it is not possible for me to pick up your briefcase at the airport, remember that you did not send it on my name, how do you believe that they will release it.
Secondly, i want to know the person that sent a mail to you as barrister Rasheed, please tell him that you will like to know his phone number to enable me verify the exact person, as i dont know the person and i will like to know him because i have never talk any thing with a lawyer hence you told me that you will be coming here by yourself ok.
Please, you have to confirm to me the exactly date of your arrival so that i will wait for you ok.
I am not going to wait for you at the airport again, as i have tried my best to wait for you there today and i could not see you.
You have to confirm to me the name and dressing you will be to enable me locate you immediately ok.
Because of all these delay, that is why i told you to send that money to enable me arrange every thing here ok.
If you are still want to sebnd it, you can send it with my wife name,

JOHNSON SCHULER
Dr John,I have no idea why you would wait at the airport for me today, I told you we will be there on Thursday 6/5. We are trying to fly standby on earlier flights but no luck yet. When we arrive we will look for you from your picture.
I told you I already sent money to you, Dr John Jones, through Western Union. Please see earlier email. My other money is in the suitcase so I cannot send it until I get to Lagos when it would be simpler to just hand it over ok. Barrister Rashid reached me via email, xxxxx@caramail.com. I am sure he can be trusted. I am waiting to hear from him if he will be able to get to the airport today. Do you want me to ask him to pick up the Western Union money I sent to your name in Abuja?
Also, Lydia got a hotel for us, Sheraton at 30 Mobolaji Bank Anthony Way Ikeja. Hopefully that address means something to you, I don't know where it is. I would prefer to stay in something nicer but a Sheraton will have to do since you failed to secure a suite for us. But this way I get 500 bonus Starpoints to go along with flyer miles. She says there are beaches nearby but she burns quickly so I am not sure that is such a good idea.

Have you forgotten that you were the one that told me that there was no way you could send any money via western union transfer before you left your country so how come you are now telling me you sent money to me.
Well, in all let me advice you hoping that you will take my advice this time. the whole issue is complecated at the moment and so for now you should stay further action on your movement to lagos until the air is clear and most importantly until i have given you a green light to come. if you do otherwise, it will be to your peril.
I am sure i have given you all my direct numbers,and i strongly advice that you should call me if you still want to further this transaction as i am no longer ready to continue this email comunication for now. in any you do not have the numbers, they are as follows, 234-17767868, and 234-8033216612.

You said that may be a problem that you wanted it in the name of your wife instead, but the money had already been sent. So I told Barrister Rashid about it and he volunteered to pick it up. I didn't like having the money just sitting there. Have you reached him? He says his office is at xxx Lewis St, Lagos. I have asked him to contact you.
We are still stuck in the airport. We are still planning to catch our plane this evening for tomorrow AM arrival at Lagos. We will only be there for two days so be sure everything is prepared for our arrival. You do not say you have picked up my suitcase, so I assume it is still under airport security.

Dear Dr John,Halla. We are at the Sheraton Hotel, we went and saw the beach since we got in too late for the bank. We didn't go out in the water because a thunderstorm was coming up, but it was a pleasant 80 degrees or so. That was a nice change, it's been cool at home.
We will be hosting a party tonight, look for a large table of people at the Pili Pili restaurant here tonight. Here is a picture of the hotel so you can be sure you are in the right place. You can see the limo the barrister sent in the photo. The phones here are pretty lousy, I can barely keep a connection.
Lydia is thrilled about the news of Carlos Heskey. This is a beautiful thing you are doing for us. How did you learn her maiden name? She had not seen Carlos for many years and this is a great excitement for her. We called the bank and talked to mister A**** and he was very excited to hear from her. The account is over $11 million, which is less than you had said but still is a lot of money :)
We will plan to meet you at the bank Friday at 8 AM or tonight at the hotel restaurant if you can make it. If the Pili Pili restaurant is too crowded we will go instead to the Crockpot. It's about 3 PM now but we're exhausted and will be napping until dinner. See you then.

I left the $145 for you at the Sheraton front desk under the name O. HENRY. The bank said I didn't need to pay that fee after all. Apparently Dr Mark Peter has been fired, they could not locate him.
Our flight leaves at 10:25 PM on Virgin so we checked out already. If we do not see you before then I will leave the gifts we purchased for you with Barrister Rashid. What a great country this is!
Johnson & Lydia

Dra åt helvete! GOD IS GOOD OK
