LETTER OF MUTUAL BENEFIT

Dear Respectable One,

I apologize if the contents in this mail are contrary to
your moral beliefs and ethics, which I feel may be of great
disturbance to your personal life, But please treat with
absolute secrecy and let it be personal. I pray that this
email reaches you in the best of health.

My name is K3lv1n Br0wn, I work with the Citizens Int'l Bank
bill and exchange of the foreign remittance department. I am
the personal Accountant to late Engr.(Allan) a National of
your country, who was a contractor with the DEPARTMENT OF
PETROLEUM RESOURCES VICTORIA ISLAND,LAGOS.

Here in after shall be referred to as my client On 30
JANUARY 2000, my client, his wife, and their three children
were involved in the Kenya airways flight with registration
number 5Y-BEN which departed from Nairobi to destination
Lagos and the all family died in this fatal air crash on 30
JANUARY 2000 Since then I have made several inquiries to
your embassy to locate any of my clients extended
Relatives,this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to get
in touch with the consul-General of your Embassy, to locate
any member of my late client family hence I contacted you. I
have contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and
property left behind by my client before they get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank where
these huge deposits were lodged, particularly the CITIZENS
INT'L BANK Where the deceased had an account Valued at ($15
Million us dollars) has issued me a notice to provide the
next of kin. Or have the account confiscated within the next
ten official working days.

On further investigation,I found out that:-

(A) He has no other living declared relative
(B) He had died intestate (without making a will)
(c) He was into Real Estate Venture (Realtor)

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives
till date, I seek your consent to present you as the next of
kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so
that the proceeds of this account valued at ($15 Million US
Dollars) can be paid to you and then you and me can share
the money.50% to me and 50% to you and all expenses will be
shared equally after tax is deducted by the (IRS) in your
country.

On your soonest reply,I will tell you all you need to know
about the money and method of operation we can use to effect
remittance into your account for our mutual benefit.Also
include your full name,address and phone number.

I recommend that you send your response together with your
most private telephone number to enable me call you for more
explanation if the need arises.

Yours sincerely,

K3lv1n Br0wn.

Dear,
K3lv1n Br0wn

This is a shock to me. I never knew an "Engr." or Allan for that matter. However this seems very interesting. I would love to talk with you further on this matter you can contact me on my personal number i will write down below. I would love to make this deal happen, as my daughter has Cancer. She is projected to die in about 6 months without proper treatment. I would love to get the money as soon as possible so i can save my daughter.

Warmest Regards,

In the past scammers have referred to me as "Frankie Smiths" I responded once telling him off... that lost the bait. And then i found this wonderful site, after listening to a Chicago Public Radio thingy about "Enforcers"

Oh and yes That address i wrote IS the space needle...

We shall see K3lv1n Br0wn... We shall see...

Very nice start, simple and already a little dark cloud on the horizon Wink

Why not send him a nice picture of your daughter or a family picture, he has to know that the family is important. Ask about his family too after all he is going to make you rich, get on his good side Twisted Evil

Keep us posted and be aware that this forum isn't behind a login, so maybe change some letters for digits in the names ? Like K3lv1n Br0wn

Save the link or pictures for future use.
Your lad might not respond on Sunday so patience is the key word here. it's now almost 11 pm in Nigeria, he might have gone to bed

Yes, he might've. So it's a good time to call him, in fact, if you have a lad's number, any time between midnight and 5 am his time on a Sunday is an excellent choice.

[edit] He's awake now Smile

Don't write him off too soon. It sometimes takes a lad several days to get back to you especially if he's writing something off script. I wouldn't worry until a week or so went by with no contact. Who knows he might be on safari for some other baiter.
