Subject: YOURS FRIEND

Dear Friend
It is with humble pleasure and trust, that I write this very
important letter to you,considering that you are capable
and kind enough to assist us in this business proposal as
stated below.I am just trying to know if you can
be of help,irrespective of the fact that we didn't
know each other before or have met for the first time
in life. I came across your contact via international
profile in my earnest searching for a truthful/honest
person to handle this business with us. Firstly,
I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this
transaction,this is by virtue of its nature as being
top secret and confidential.I am BEN OMODI Head of
Accounts Department. First Bank Plc (HQ) Lagos Nigeria.
I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make
someone whom you didn't know for the first time to feel
apprehensive, but be assured that all will be well with
every involved persons at the end of this business as it
is risk free.
THE PROPOSITION
A FOREIGNER, ENGR.MICHAEL CREEK (AN EXPARTRIATE
ENGINEER, who has a domiciliary Account with this
Bank, FIRST BANK Nigerian. PLC (HQ) foreign operation
unit,was an oil merchant / contractor with The
Federal Government of Nigeria for many years, but for
about 3 years now from 2002 his account was dormant
without lodging in more money or withdrawing from the
account as it used to be and because of this
development, his account officer MR. HENRY EGOBIA
reported the matter to me as the head of the account
department,and upon this report, I conducted a
personal investigation by sending MR. HENRY to the
address submitted by Engr.Creek as of the time he
opened the said account with us to know the cause or
reason of everything before the matter will be made
known to the bank in general.
But pity he came back with a report to me that Engr.
Creek died some time in 2002 in a ghastly car
accident in Port-Harcourt ,Nigeria Oil heart city
leaving in his account US$17.7m cash. Now I have
informed the bank authorities and board members about
this matter and after many meetings, they resolved
that I should contact the relatives or next of kin on
behalf of the bank, for them to file a letter of
claim,but all efforts by this dept to contact any of
his relatives or next of kin have proved unsuccessful.
His country embassy has tried without success and
wrote to me suggesting that the fund be shared to THE
RED CROSS, CHILD CARE TRUST or MOTHERLESS BABIES HOME
and AIDS ORGANISATION IN AFRICA. In order to prevent
the bank from diverting this fund as unclaimed fund or
sharing it as said by the embassy which I know they
will not do, I and my colleagues MR. HENRY EGOBIA
being account's officer, MR. FERDINAND, the bank lawyer,
P.R.O. and the administrative Manager now seek your
assistance for you to stand as the next of kin /
relation of Engr.Michael Creek in claiming this
US$25m. All the documents that will enable you claim
this fund will be carefully provided for you to submit
for the workout of this claim.
ATTENTION: For the process to take off in ernest, forward
to me your telephone, fax, mobile number, and your full
address for easy communication, as more detail will
follow up and your complete bank coordinates for urgent
remittance of the money. We will also be happy to hear
from you .We have agreed to reward you with a good percentage
as your own share of the money for assisting us in this deal.
We shall discuss and agree on the percentage with you when
we hear from you.
Immediately this fund is remitted into your
Account, note that high degree of trust would be required
from you. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Awaiting your immediate response.
Best regards,
MR. BEN OMODI

To: [email protected]

Hi Ben,

First my adressas you requested:

XXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXX

So, now to my concern: As i would like to know who my Partner is., i
would like to have a picture from you.
But it will only work if you can sign the pic in form of having a
piece of paper in front of you, where it is written on: "BEN OMODI" or
like "This is Benny" or something that can proof it is you, and not
just a simple pic of someone.
I once had a bad experience, with someone else as a matter of fact,
that the deal broke cause he was not honest enough to send me a
picture.
So, if you think that this is a fair deal, you getting my details, and
i getting your icture, and if you are interessted in processing,
please let me know.

Yours sincerely

and his...

To:

Dear John ,

We are very serious about this transaction and it is not to be
delayed. First and fore most, Like I told in my last mail, we need to
know you very well and receive all your details before we can open up
to you. We are supposed to be sure of you because we are on a process
to entrust you with big sum of money without meeting you for the first
time in life, therefore you should not be afraid of us since you have
nothing to loose rather we are entitled to receive your proper
identification to be sure that the funds will be safe in your hands
when it is transfered to your account and a guaranttee that our share
will be returned to us.

Secondly, we need to be sure that you are capable to handle this
transaction because you will be needed in due course to come to our
bank premises here in Nigeria to sign the release documents which will
be the best opportunity for you to know us very very well, so you
should remove the doubts from your mind because we must meet you
before our funds will be moved to your side. Now giving you pictures
does not solve our problem if at the end of the exercise of sending
you pictures in the manner that you demanded; it becomes clear that
you are not capable, then the whole exercise will be in vain, wasted
journey and share waste of time which is what I hate most in life.

Finally, if you are capable to handle this project, do not hesitate to
send your full particulars with your Identity. International Passport
or Driver's Licence will be okay. I will also send my own when I
receive yours as a confirmation that you are capable to handle this
business.

I hope you would understand.

Best regards,
Mr. Ben Omodi

so i sent him a copy of my "ID" and his came quicker than i thought

CLICK ME FOR ID

with following Text

Quote:

Dear John,

Thanks a lot for your prompt response and your Id-International
Passport you sent to us. Mine is now attached for your records.

We are now friends and partners in progress since we have very
important documents about ourselves so we are no more strangers to
each other. However your presence will be required at the bank here to
sign some documents and then we would be more farmiliar with ourselves
when we must have known and seen each other face to face.

In view of the above, I think you should not hesitate to send your
full particulars for the processing of the relevant documents at the
Probate Registry, Lagos High Court to make you the next of kin of
Engr. Michael creek by our attorney. The Attorney will collate all
datas of Engr. Michael Creek and visit some government agencies to
collect the Death Certificate, Doctor's Report, Certificate for Burial
and Verifying Affidavit and attach it to an Application and submit to
the Probate Registry and the Probate Register will Approve and issue
LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION to your name. The Letter of Administration
is the document that gives you the Legal Right over the US$17.7
million deposit of Engr. creek in our bank.

As soon as the Letter of Administration is obtained by the Attorney,
attached to an Application for release of the funds and submitted to
our bank-First Bank of Nigerian. Plc,our bank has no option than to release
the funds to your account immediately you sign the release documents.

Understand that the Attorney is waiting to swing into action
immediately we receive your full particulars and bank account
details.Please let me know; can you come to Nigeria within the next 7
to 8 days? This is very important since the Attorney will conclude the
processes within 4 days and you will be required to come and sign the
release documents.

You can call me on my direct line - 234 803 411 8248 now or you send
to me your direct/cell phone where I can reach you directly without
hitches and remember to keep this business to yourself as we do not
want any exposure.

Thanking you once again for your understanding.

cheers and remain blessed.

Dear John

We have no choice than to wait till 7th, 8th or 9th of August to
receive you here because you must be here or an Attorney that is
accredited to the bank can sign for you but that would cost some
money.

However, myself and my colleagues want you to come and sign by
yourself so that we would meet one another face to face and we would
also know the man we are entrusting with this big responsibility.

Finally, furnish us with the required information including your Name:
Address, Telephone number,Fax number and receiving bank account
details. Please state the informations the way the Attorney will use
them to start the processes. When we receive the informations above,
the Attorney will start the processing of the transaction to obtain
LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION to make you the next of kin of late Engr.
Michael creek.

Signing the release documents is the final procedure before the
transfer of the money to your account by our bank so it will come
last. When our bank receives the Required Approvals ( Letter of
Administration) from the Probate Registry and Application for the
release of the money to your goodself from the Attorney (Lawyer), you
will be invited to come and sign the necessary documents, then we will
tell you how to write to the bank to inform our bank when you will be
in Nigeria to sign the papers.

please send the required informations immediately, we are waiting; thank you.

cheers and remain blessed.

Mr. Ben Omodi

My dear Ben Omodi,

Reservation for Tuesday the 27th July.As i have the diplomatic license
i need to make some visits to customers anyway, and visit my embassy
later on that trip.

To confirm that i will be there i will attach a copy of my Reservation.

Happy to meet you and your businesspartners, i leave you with best wishes.

If you should have any other question relating my visit, do not
hesitate and ask.

Yours sincerely

FLIGHT BOOKING TICKET

and after this they got suspicious somehow

Quote:

Dear John ,

Thanks a lot for your efforts to conclude this deal immediately; you
are welcome to Nigeria. One of us will be at the Airport to receive
you. The informations are okay so the Attorney will use them as you
wrote them for us but Your bank particulars will also be in use to
secure the Approval from the court.

In that case you have to send your bank details immediately so that
the Attorney would obtain the necessary documents and file the
application at the Probate Registry for the issuance of Letter of
Administration. Understand that without the Letter of Administration
that would make you the Next-of-kin, your visit can not be successful
because you will not be recognised at our bank because the bank must
act on the Letter of Administration.

I know that two days will be enough for the Attorney to conclude the
process of collation of required documents and filing the Application
on your behalf at the Probate Registry. You can also accompany the
Attorney to court so that they may give out the Approval at open
Court. So you have to bear in mind that we would sponsor the Attorney
to collate the necessary documents as I mentioned - (CERTIFICATE OF
DEATH AND OTHERS), pay the filing fees but you will contribute some
money to enable us pay the ASSESMENT FEE on the DEPOSIT of ENGR.
MICHAEL CREEK before the release of the Letter of Administration to
the Attorney by by the Probate Register. The Attorney would know the
amount required after filing the Application for Letter of
Administration on your behalf at the Probate Registry of Lagos High
Court.

We expect that you send the bank details today so that the Attorney
would start the processes from early morning tomorrow since your visit
is around the corner. Please remember that we cherish our reputation
and employment, so keep this transaction to yourself. Even the
Attorney that would handle the processes is not aware of our interest
in this business.

Finally, your mail yesterday indicated that you are in Korea, but the
Flight Schedule shows that you are taking off from Brussel, does it
mean that you made the Reservation from Korea. Well that is by the
Way, but your resolve to conclude this business immediately is a
welcome development.

Cheers and remain blessed,
Mr. Ben Omodi
