I think this is an original script!

Dear Frind,
It will please you to know that i recently discovered the reason for the delay in payment of your contract amount of us$17,5million a thorough investigation recealed that the Ogoni community where your contract was executed wrote a petition to the federal government stopping payment of the contract amount due to you.
The community is claiming that no compensation has been paid to them as a resuly of forceful acquisition of their land and damages done to their economic crops. They got information that your payment was due so they sent in a petition stopping it until the compenastion is paid.
In view of this development, It is decided that you must come down to nigeria to meet with the community leaderes and reach a meaningfuc agreement that will lead to the release of your money.
Kndly let me know when you will come down to nigeria not later that 7/2/2011 to sign agreement with the community. I have met with the leaders and told them that you will unfailingly arrive nigeria on that 7/2/2011 to conclude the agreement with them and they will in turn write a letter to the fed govt. To lift the embargo placed on the payment of your money.Please treat this matter with the urgency it deserves.
Awaiting your response.
Regards.
Dr. Regent K4bb

I'm confused. The only contract I had involving Nigeria was worth $1 million and I don't see how it could have involved forceful acquisition of land and damage to crops. Please explain further.

Now comes the shakedown...

You are supposed to be present in the signing ceremony of the agreement as demanded by the community. But if you cannot come, A lawyer and i will represent you provided we fulfill all the conditions of the agreement. The conditions of the agreement are as follow; The community demanded the following items in line with the existing african tradition;
(a) Dne cow
(b) Two cartons of tobacco leaves

First off - don't call me sir; I'm a woman. Not even my father would have been so cruel he'd call a boy Camille!
Secondly - where are these people that I'm supposed to have put to such inconvenience?

ohhhhhhhhhh Razz

I can't wait to see where this one goes.

So you stole their land and devastated their crops and all they want in return are a few yams and a cow?

These Ogoni people are easily pleased!

Two cartons of hot drinks and a bag of kola nuts.
They'll be asking for an Out of Africa DVD next Laughing

@ sunshine

I think a quick flight overhead setting fire to their crops and huts might be called for, might put the cost up though Smile

Is that a "Done cow?" Cooked?
$1850 for those few items? No way! That's only $300, tops! Tell them you'll buy an uncooked one, as you like your meat rare. You are invited to the barbeque, aren't you?
And where is the palm wine?

did someone say palm wine? I'm in.

Anyway if I were offered this opportunity, I'd want to come to the party and bring them my own cow, kola etc.

They are not demanding money, but he wants the money by tomorrow.

Is this from the scammer who on another thread and on a form stated he was "completely insane"?

A basket of bitter Kola as well? Hrm, maybe see if he accepts a case of Cola as a good substitute? Less bitter and sweetened up!

Perhaps, as you have offended this village somehow, may be insisting in delievering it in person might be called for to soothe the situation? Twisted Evil

I am very sorry for being addressed you as a male. It is an error in
typing. The people you are supposed to meet for signing of agreement
are the owners of the land where you did your contract. Thy are not
paid any compensation and they found out that you are about to receive
your contract amount of us$17,5million. They wrote a petition to the
govt. To stop your payment until you guarantee payment of their
compensation. And the only way they can be guaranteed is by signing an
agreement in which they will be assured of receiving compensation
after you have received your money us$17,5million.
The amount of $1,850 i asked you to send covers the items to be
presented to the community and also transportation. The items to be
presented to the community are;.........
(a) 1, Cow
(b) 2, Cartons of tobacco leaves
(c) 2, Cartons of hot drinks
(d) 1, Basket of kola nuts
(e) 1, Basket of bitter kola
(f) 20 Tubers of yam
Kindly understand the explanation i have given you and send the $1,
850 so that they write a letted to the govt to release your money
us$17,5million after the agreement must have been signed.

Let's see what he does with this:

As I told you - the contract was worth $1 million, and the Collingwood football club paid up without any problems, so I'm not sure what's going on. Also, the photoshoot was at a sports stadium, and no-one was playing, so we didn't disturb anyone.
I don't know what these landowners showed you, or said to you, but something is definitely wrong here.
