Dear Friend,
I am Mr Phil Roberts, Auditor, with Accounting Department,Ecobank. I got your very good name and e-mail address from the online classified posted on the net.I have decided to contact you purely on the personal conviction of trust and confidence that we can co-operate with one another and do a very lucrative business for our mutual benefit. The Business I am proposing to you is in respect of the sum of $11,183,000.00 (Eleven Million, One Hundred and Eighty-Three Thousand United States Dollars Only) deposited in Dollar account with my bank which belonged to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim who died on 25th July,2000 in a plane crash, is an Engineering contractor.My bank has made several efforts at contacting the family of Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim or his relatives, but all have proved abortive as he had no identifiable kin's men. This sum of US$11.183M have remained unclaimed ever since then and nobody has come forward as his next of kin.
The management under the influence of our chairman and member of the board of directors has made an arrangement for the fund to be declared 'UNCLAIMABLE' and subsequently be turned to the reserve account of the bank. It is against the background of the foregoing, that two of my colleagues and myself in the bank have decided to contact you for assistance and partnership, for you to stand as the next of kin to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim . With your permission this fund will be transferred to your private account abroad as the beneficiary and next of kin to Mr Mohamed Saleh Ibrahim.
All proof of claim and necessary documentation will be carefully worked out in your favour and we assure you of 100% risk free involvement and protection. Consequently, if you find this proposal acceptable to you and you wish to assist us, I expect your urgent response and upon receipt of that,we shall discuss and agree on the disbursement and sharing ratio.Let me therefore expect your very urgent response through my phone,or e-mail addresses. Please endeavour to include your private phone and fax number and also your private e-mail where available. Please keep this proposal very secret and confidential. You can get back to me on this email address-:roberts_ecobank@outgun.com
Thank you and best regards as I await your urgent response.

Mr. Roberts
While I certainly could use some extra money it seems (by the number of other reciepients of this e-mail) that you may too easily place your trust in others. Certainly I wasn't your first choice since I was merely CC'd in your message. And certainly when you are proposing to engaged in a effort to fraudlently obtain money. While I may be willing to participate in future endeavors with you if they are shady in the least I will expect that they be carried out a bit more clandestinely. I will also expect to be your first choice in any endeavor. I do have my pride
Sincerely,
Trevor Trevorson

My second reply:
Actually I believe I indicated in my previous e-mail that I was unwilling at this juncture. In fact your innattention to detail leads me to believe that any endeavor I may engage in with you may be doomed to to failure. Again I will state that since what you are proposing is at it's base fraud and in conjunction with the fact that I was not even your first choice 'partner in crime' lead me to the conclusion that any further association with you could be disastrous fro myself financially. Also I am certain that your inexpert grasp of the english language is cause for concern as directions could be unclear or down right unintelligible.
However I would like to possibly donate some money to you for your further studies of the english language or what have you as you seem a very earnest person. If you would send me a valid credit card number with expiration date I will be able to forward you some funds.
Sincerley,
Trevor
