Dear Beloved in Christ,

It is by the grace of God that I received Christ,knowing the truth and the truth have set me free.Having known the truth I had no choice than to do what is lawful and right in the sight of God for eternal life and in the sight of man for witness of God´s mercy and glory upon my life.I know you will definitely take this as a deceptive e mail,becauseof the swindle news we hear everyday and now it happens am from Netherlands where it seems to happen more often.Let me first of all inform you, i got your e.mail id from a mail directory and decided to e.mail you for apermission to go ahead.I am Mrs Caroline Solange Haafkens from Netherlands.I am married to Dr.Franklyn Haafkens who worked with Chevron/Texaco in Nigeria for twenty years before he died in the year 2001.We were married for twenty-seven years without a child,He died during one of the riots in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria.He was held hostage and slain to death by protesting youths of the region before his death we were both born again christians.Since his death I decided not to re-marry.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of 8.6 million dollars (Eight Million six hundred thousand U.S.Dollars)with a bank in the Netherlands. Presently this money is still with the bank and the management just wrote me as the beneficiary to come forward to receive the money or rather issue a letter of authorisation to somebody to receive it on my behalf if I can not come over.I am presently with my laptop in a hospital where I have been undergoing treatment for cancer of the lungs, I have since lost my ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I have only a few months to live.It is my last wish to see that this money is invested and at the end of every year distributed among charity organisation.I want a person that is God fearing that will use this money to fund churches,orphanages and widows propagating the word of God and to ensure that the house of God is maintained. The Bible made us to understand that Blessed is the hand that giveth.I took this decision because i know that there are alot of poor people suffering from different kind of disease and nobody to come to their aid.With God all things are possible. As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the bank.I will also issue you a letter of authority that will prove you as the new beneficiary of this fund.You will be entitled to 10% of every profit you make in a year.Please assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.I await your urgent reply.

Yours in Christ,
rs Caroline Haafkens

My response?


Dear Brother James Okoba!

Wonderful to hear from you again! Unfortunately my mother passed away on during the Christmas Holidays and I have been unable to take care of my personal business. She had a beautiful funeral and many of our family and friends came to pay their respects. She had suffered for many years and God finally came to take her away to a place much better than the one she was in.

Now I am negotiating with lawyers and my brothers over the inheritance ($1.8 million dollars). We must take care of this piece of business before I can move on to other business proposals.

Please forgive me for answering your e-mail so late. Once I have the money from my inheritance in my account I will contact you so that I might could travel to meet with you.

Your friend,
Jim

Dear Mr. Adams:

Thank you very much for the request to review your proposed transaction.

As a representative of an investment group we will review the details of your proposal in the coming weeks. However I can tell you at this time the taxes on $28 million will be much higher than you are currently predicting. You may end up with only 30% of the initial sum for yourself, as taxes could be around 40% and you have already offered us 30%, which is no longer negotiable.

Please review the Canadian tax code so we can accomodate your financial needs. Also, please send us some form of personal identification so we can be assured you are a trustworthy Nigerian business partner.

Yours truly,
