Dear Sir

I am a CFN of a multi-million dollar winery business
in New Orleans Utah.

I am always looking for partnerships abroad to enrich
and soothe my entrenched platitudes.

If you would be so kind to send me your proposal of
your business proposal along with a perspective of
your company.

You must forgive me, I do not give out my phone number

Dear Ross,

Thank you for your prompt response toward my proposal.
Below you find the Bleuprint of my Partnership
Proposal. Please, study it carefull and get back to me
so, i will direct you the way forward concerning the
transaction.

I am Mr. IMED BEN ABDALLAH,Department of Foreign
Operations, Westpac Banking Corporation London,an
affiliate of Global Funds Management.

On January 6th 2001, one Mr. Joseph Huber, an American
National,a consultant/contractor with Gardiner &
Theobald,a leading firm of project and cost management
consultants, made a numbered time (Fixed) Deposit,
valued at �26,500,000.00 (Twenty-six Million, Five
Hundred Thousand Pounds) for twelve calender months in
my Bank Branch.Upon Maturity, we sent a routine
notification to his forwarding address but got no
reply�[snipped to save space]

My reply

I have to admit that I could not control my flatulence
with the offer of 35% of 26,500,000.00 pounds offered.

While I like the terms of your proposal, I still have
one little problem: your identity.

Only a fool would lay out a vast amount of cash for a
deal like this without questioning the perpetrator.

The only way I would continue with this deal is for
you to send me a unaltered image of your passport and
or identification papers with a countersigned
International anti-terrorism statement(Form AB2106).

Any delay sending these requested items will terminate
any interest in your proposal.

The passport they've sent you looks real and must belong to a former victim of 419. Some scammers steal the identities of their victims, and I think this is the case.

I'd suggest to deface his name and photo in order to protect his identity.
