Black text is the mugu, red is me....

Attention: ,

I am Barrister Richard Morgan an attorney to a national of your
country, who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development Company, London, here in after shall be referred to as my client. On the 7th of July 2005, my client, his wife and their three children died as a result of the bomb blast terrorist attack explosure.

Since then I have made several inquiries to your embassy to locate any
of my late clients extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.

My purpose of contacting you is to assist me in repatriating the money
left behind by my client prior to his death before they get confiscated or
declared unserviceable by the Bank where the deceased had a deposit
valued at about 5.5Million St. pounds.

The bank had issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the
account confiscated within the next 60 official working days since I
have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 3 weeks now, I
seek your consent to present you as the next of kin to the deceased since
you have the same last name/surname so that the proceeds of this account valued at 5.5million St. pounds can be transfered to you and then we can share the money afterwards.

All I require is your honest co-operation to enable us in seeing this
deal through. I guarantee that this will be executed under legitimate
arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law. Please get in touch with me with your phone and fax number including your full contact address and full names to enable us discuss more and to enable me actualize my already planed strategics on how to get this deposited funds out from the HSBC Holdings plc Bank, No. 8 Canada Square London E14 5HQ.

Please get back to me strictly on my private email
address:[email protected]

Best regards,

Richard Morgan.

Please it is imperative for you to reconfirm your private telephone and
fax number to me to enable me acquit you with the necessary information you will need in this transaction.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr Morgan:

I am in receipt of your email, and let me take this opportunity to express my sorrow about the tragic fate of those unfortunate parties involved.
I am very interested in your proposal. I assume this sum would be transferred via wire transfer? Please understand that as I already have 4 bank accounts for my business, each having in excess of $400,000 on deposit, which is the maximum that is insured by my government, that I would have to open a new account in a different city to ensure its insurance. This may cause a slight logisitical challenge, but nothing you and my attorney, Mr. Jack Meehoff, would not be able to overcome.
I am somewhat leery of giving out my personal contact information via the Internet to someone whom I do not know personally. My company, Reddcooter Lubricants (NYSE symbol LUB), however, does business with a registered agent in London, and we would be able to utilize their services to enact this transaction. Please let me know if this would be acceptable to you and your client and we can proceed from there.
If you wish to continue, please reply rapidly as I will be out of the office for a few days beginning tomorrow, and I dont wish to let this fall through due to logistics and lack of rectal understanding due to movements being pushed out.

Yours,

Ronald A. Mexico

Attn: Mr. Donald Mexico,

Thank you for your swift response to my email letter. I want to assure you that this transaction will be actualize legitimately without hitch on both end.

Now as regards to the content of your email, I want you to know that I am a lawyer and I will do anything to keep my career as a legal practitioner going, so that is the more reason why I contacted just you for this mutual business transaction. I got your contact information from my late client search file because some few years back, I and my late client where seriously in search for his family history and relative, this search was on, for about 6 years, and during this period we both contacted several embassy to see if we can have any close trace of my late client relative or families but unfortunately our whole effort was to no avail, so my late client Mr. Paul decided to gather up all the information�s we both had during our contact to different embassy and history finders into a file, which he called his Search File, so as his personal attorney and representative, I was with all of his files including this particulars one, now in this search file, it shows here that you happen to be the only person, whom my late client as not yet contacted for his family history, before his sudden death due to the fact that your information�s was not enough for him to have contacted you then, in the file, the only thing there was just your first and last name with your email address, no home contact address nor phone and fax number for him to have reach you before his death to find out certain details from you and to also know if you have any kind of connection with his family, so the major reason why we both gave up on the search was that 89% sure that he has no trace of his history, so the rest 11% was not enough for us to continue, that was why we decided to stop search, but late Mr. Paul still had some faith of recovering his long lost family one day and that was why he did not make a Deed of Will before his sudden death nor keep anyone as his next of kin.

I want you to know that I am not a fool or a kid lawyer, if I was a kid lawyer, I wouldn�t be the personal attorney to late Mr. Paul for over 12 years until his sudden death, I can take care of this transaction my self with your cooperation and assistant, because I have planed strategies for this transaction and I made several enquiries concerning the bank HSBC Holdings Plc, so the whole enquiries I made about the bank, was what master minded me to plane good strategies for this transaction, so I don�t need any third party in this transaction or expose the confidentiality of this transaction because my career is at stake for this business transaction if anything goes wrong it will affect us both and from the content of your email response, it shows that you have good reputation to keep too, so since we both have the same seen and believe for this transaction, it will be very difficult for someone else as a third party to come into this transaction and share the same view and interest with us, so in other not to get this transaction exposed to any third hear , is better we keep it a top secret between just the two of us until we actualize it, I mean even your lawyer too, since I am a lawyer and here in London where the funds are deposited with HSBC by my deceased client, I don�t thing another lawyer will be needed for this transaction, since we both share the same concern and benefit. I want you to know that you have no reason to worry over anything because I am the master minder of this transaction and anything that goes wrongs definitely affects the both of us, so that is one good reason why I can�t allow anything funny to happen ok, this transaction will be concluded legimately with out anyone getting into any trouble ok, so it is 100% risk free.

Finally I want know that, I gave you my information such as address phone and fax number in my first letter to you without any difficulty because I am very sure of what I am doing and my contact to you, but you find it hard to respond back with the same requested details, so I want you to send me the below details, if you are truly ready and willing to do transaction with me as partners ok.

1.Your phone and fax.
2.Your home contact address.
3.Occupation and age.

As soon as I receive this information�s from you I will call you for more oral conversation about the strategies I have planed for this transaction ok.

Regards,

Richard Morgan.

(Did this one in all caps just to see if he was paying attention Smile

)

MR MORGAN:
I CAN APPRECIATE YOUR WATING TO PROCEED WITH THIS QUICKLY, SINCE DEALS OF THIS NATURE CAN AND DO TERMINATE WITHOUT WARNING. I DO HAVE SEVERAL CONCERNS BEFORE PROCEEDING FURTHER, AND YOUR ASSURANCES WOULD HELP A GREAT DEAL. PLEASE ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS TO THE BEST OF YOUR ABILITY:
1) IS THIS MONEY THE RESULT OF ANY TERRORIST OR NARCOTICS-RELATED ACTIVITY?
2) WHAT IS THE EXACT BREAKDOWN OF HOW THE MONEY WILL BE DISTRIBUTED (I.E. HOW MUCH (OR BY PERCENTAGE) TO EACH PARTY?)
3) I SPOKE WITH MY ATTORNEY YESTERDAY, AND WAS ADVISED TO PROCEED ONLY IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING:
A) AN EMAILED SCAN OF YOUR LAW LICENSE
B) A SCAN OF YOUR PASSPORT OR OTHER PHOTO ID
C) A PHOTO OF YOURSELF (SO I CAN COMPARE IT WITH THE PHOTO ID) WITH
SOME IDENTIFYING ELEMENT. IDEALLY, THIS WOULD BE A PHOTO OF YOU
HOLDING AN IDENTIFYING SIGN (SUCH AS A SIGN SAYING "REDD COOTER"),
SO I CAN BE ASSURED IT IS INDEED THE SAME PERSON. WE ALSO HAVE A 1/2 PAGE AD IN TODAY'S WALL STREET JOURNAL, SO THAT COULD ALSO BE HELD BY YOU IN THE PHOTO, IF YOU WISH.
IF YOU CAN PROVIDE THE REQUESTED IDENTIFICATION MATERIALS, HE HAS ASSURED ME THIS TRANSACTION CAN TAKE PLACE IN A MATTER OF DAYS. I ALSO UNDERSTAND THERE MAY BE SOME TRANSACTIONAL FEES TO ACCOMPLISH THIS. WOULD IT BE EASIER FOR ME TO PAY THEM, OR SHOULD THEY BE TAKEN FROM THE AMOUNT TO BE TRANSFERRED?

I AM EMAILING THIS FROM NEWARK AIRPORT, SOON TO BOARD A FLIGHT TO LOS ANGELES. I WILL CHECK MY EMAIL UPON ARRIVAL IN LA, AND EXPECT YOUR REPLY SO WE CAN PROCEED. WE MUST MOVE QUICKLY.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attn: Mr. Ronald,

I acknowledge the receipt of your email response. Attached is a copy of my passport, I want you to know that I have given you more than enough information's about my self and the only thing I have gotten for you is your email response and name, which is not enough for me in this business transaction. Now I want you to know that I am not forcing you to do this transaction with me, so if you feel skeptical about giving out your information's to me to enable me proceed, then you can forget about it, is not like I am begging you to help me with this business transaction, I already told you why I contacted only you and is not like I can't contact other people with the same last name with my late client, but is just that I felt it will be more easier doing it with you and since you have gotten your lawyer to know about it without considering my career as a legal practitioner and what could happen, then you can go ahead and take whatever action that you think will be alright for you because I am not going to anything else now or give out any of my information's to you without hearing from you or receiving any of your details.

I want you to reply back to me with the requested details or just forget about it, because this transaction is not a do or die affair ok.

I don't feel happy given out my identification to you just like that and don't feel I don't have a choice, because if you think so, then you are wrong, cause I do have a choice, I want you to know that the attached information is all you can get from me know until we proceed in this transaction.

Have a nice weekend.

Regards,

Richard Morgan.

(Time to see how closely he follows American comic books)

Mr Morgan:
I have received your passport scan, and thank you for your timely response. Isnt technology wonderful? I am sitting in an airplane at 40,000 feet yet can receive email!!
Your tone in your last communication has me concerned. As a "legal practitioner", you of all people should understand clients seeking counsel from their attorneys when dealing in these types of numbers. If it will set your mind at ease, neither your name, nor the substansive parts of our communication were revealed. Mr. Meehoff has particular expertise in the areas of international trade, and since Im paying him $10,000 per month retainer, I thought it wise to get his advice. His advice was to carry out the transaction, so I dont understand your animosity.
To continue, I will be opening a new account in the First National Bank of Los Angeles when I arrive, under the name of "Wayne Enterprises", which is one of my unused off-shore corporate shells. I know the bank manager, Mr. Dick Grayson, personally, so there should be no problem creating this account (which I am doing SOLELY for purposes of this transaction). I will fund it with an initial deposit of $5000, which is the minimum account balance one can have for these types of numbered anonymous accounts.
I will be out of touch until late tonight, as I will be attending the Ron Jeremy Benefit for the victims of hurricane Katrina (usually I dont go in for these types of events, but Commissioner Gordon coerced me into buying a table for 4 (25,000), since all the proceeds go to hurricane victims).
With the new account set up and funded, where do we go from here? I cant imagine any more I can do on this end. I will check my email when I arrive back from the dinner tonight, so please let me know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Attn: Mr. Ronald,

Thanks for your response. I want you to understand the fact that I am still waiting for your details information�s and without your detail information we can not do this transaction together as partners because I will have to prepare a Letter of Introduction to the Bank on your behalf introducing you as the true Next of Kin to late Mr. Paul, so that we can startup our claim with the bank.

I want you to understand that if I don't get your complete information's in your next response to this email, then I will consider your to be unserious and I will to take my business transaction to someone who is more serious and ready.

Regards,

Richard Morgan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dear Mr Morgan:

First off, my last name is NOT Ronald. I know there in London they speak English, and know the proper way of addressing correspondence. Have you ever taken a correspondence course? I understand the courses by Miss Sally Struthers are particularly effective. So that's one.

STARTUP our claim? I thought this was in the final stages! Here I have opened the account required, funded it, and am sitting here waiting for something to happen, and you dont even have the paperwork together? Im getting the feeling Im dealing with amateurs here.

What "information's" do you require? As soon as I see the goddamn paperwork, I might release the account code for the transfer, but until I see some action on your part, I don't understand what the hell is going on! Why dont you just fax me the paperwork you have, boy wonder, and let's make this happen.
My fax is 1-XXX-XXX-XXXX, and I'll have Alfred standing by to retrieve it.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

And that was the last I heard from Mr Morgan. Not the greatest bait in the world, but I was able to work in both Batman AND porn..LOL

Welcome to the Eater Ron, not bad for your first effort, but a couple of points to make, firstly, in your first reply, don't bother wasting too much of your time writing a long reply, because they almost never read them, just a simple "please tell me more" is plenty for your first reply.

Secondly, you asked for a photo in your second reply, that is a bit too early, you will have more chance of a photo trophy once you have him on the hook for a few more emails, as it's only a couple of mails into the bait, he wont mind dropping you as he has not wasted much time on you, so just play along until you have about 5 or 6 mails and he thinks YOU are hooked, then ask for further photo proof etc Wink

Yeah, I tried to reel him in waaay too early. Oh, well...at least I got a nice fake passport scan of Barr. Morgan AND I got to attend the Ron Jeremy Benefit...LOL
(For those who aren't in the States, Ron Jeremy was a big porn star in the 70's...if youve ever seen old porn with a scary looking little hairy guy, thats Ron)
