Dear Sir
I'm not sure how you came about my email address but I am not in a position to help you with this particular offer.
I am normally associated with assistance, donations and good will to sporting teams in need and I guess that is how you came by my contact details on the internet.
I hope you find assistance
in your endeavours, or indeed if you did represent a sporting club and
I misunderstood the request please feel free to come back to me.

My good brother Simon Potter,
Thanks for your mail and condolence therein,but I would like to inform you that your assistance will definitely change my entire family life.You must not relate with my late client,and I am assuring you that I will never let you down if really you showed me alittle kindness by helping to secure this fund which I've been working on through out these days.
Moreso,I promised that everything will be executed under a conducive legal atmosphere.Everything about these business is legitimate and 100% risk free which needed our both cooperation,honesty nd trustworthiness.
Nevertheless,my intention of contacting you in the first place is to present you to the bank as the bonafide beneficiary and a next of kin to late Engr. Kim Watton.And a next of kin must not relate to any individual.
Furthermore,to start
up with this business,I will like you to send to me the following data's
of yours:-
1.Your full name
and contact address(both resident & office).
2.Your dirrect telephone
& fax lines for easy communication.
3.Your data (area
of specailization,,job opportunity & tittle)
4.A copy of your
driving license for self identification.
Afterwhich I will
forward to you all the contact information of the firm in Germany and a
text of application.
Please Brother do
not let me down for this is our great opportunity that was knocking at
our door.I will be glad if you can see through my heart and respond asap.
Sincerely,
Regards,
Matthias Asih esq.

Hello Sir
Thank you very much for your email which I read with great interest.
I would like to assist
you in this transaction, but before I can give
you any of my personal
details I must firstly be 100% assured of your
honesty, integrity
and identity.
But first a little about myself.
As the chief marketing
officer at professional football club I am
frequently involved
in business deals of many kinds. You name it -
donations to sporting
clubs, player transfers and just out and out pr
work.
The simple fact is
I am very good at my job and that is because I never
enter into any such
dealings without cast iron security and confidence
in my partners.
If you are able to prove your identity and honesty to me
in a 100%
reliable way then I will be happy to help you.
Unfortunately sir,
we may have a problem. The obvious way I like to have
proof of identity
of my business partners is to meet with them in
person.
However at present
with the end of the football season coming to a close
I am extremely
busy and cannot visit your country for some weeks and I'm
sure you don't
want to wait that long.
I am afraid a passport
or personal ID will not be suitable as I know
that such things
are easily forged - indeed people
have tried sending
me such forgeries many times in the past -
particularly from
Africa.
Here is my suggestion
that could lead to a quick and profitable solution.
Would you
agree to have your picture taken holding my club logo? If you
are able to
send me a photograph of yourself holding my club logo then
this would be irrefutable
proof that the person in the photograph is you
as obviously
such a photo would be hard to forge and indeed could not
be found anywhere
on the internet.
Please signal you
agreement to this proposition and I will forward the
relevant information
to you.
Sincerely,
Simon Potter

I am very much glad to receive your mail and your logo for what we discussed last week.
Be informed that evrything is alright.I am going to do as you requested me to do to enable us start up immediately for I beleive that time waits for nobody.This is our golden opportunity and I don't think that after spending all I have here to move this fund out of this country,that no hindrance will occure again.
But please I do not have anybody to represent me over there except you.All the trust I am having now is on you that is to say you are just like my God.This is the most reason why you should be honest and sincere to me when this money is being transfered to you.Be informed that as soon as you made the first contact to this firm,we expected to complete the business within 14 working days starting from the first day you apply for the release of your cousin's fund.And they will be dealing directly with you while I will be getting response regarding your discussion with them for my own record and perusal.
Finally,you should be on a positive side to call and mail them always so that they will never have any supicious mind towards you been the rightfull beneficiary and next of kin to the said acclaimed fund,that is to say,you are requested to comply with their mode of operation(rules & regulation guiding their firm)
I will be snapping the requested picture immediately and will be responding to you before WEDNESDAY 23rd JUNE 2004.
Wishing you guidiance till then

Football is not stressing

I was all set to
talk to your bank when suddenly I got an email from a
Mr Eustace Obi which
incredibly had the exact same contents as the email
you originally
sent me.
I am most confused
by this. Do you know this man or could it be there
are two men in the
world from the same place with the same problem
needing the same

Tue 06/29/04 03:09 AM
Brother Simon,
Thank you for your mail and the understanding.I am happy that you were able to respond to me and expressing your feelings regarding what you receive from so called Mr Eustace Obi.
I long expected this to come up because of the little controversies that arise during the transfer.I met Mr Obi to assist me in raising little fund which suppose to help me offset some of the bills the concerned bank here by name GLOBAL BANK asked me to pay before the fund could be transfered out of this country.He told me that both of us will split the fund into two equal parts,I refused and offered him 5% of the total sum at the end of this transaction and he refused too.So I decided to sale some of my family belongings like houses and lands including my car to enable me come up with the transfer charges and others.
I did all these without the help of anybody which resulted to crisses in my family now because of those properties I sold without their concept.I appologied to them that in due time,I shall be able to present new houses and lands for the family,and that could be after thew conclussion of this business.So brother I think I have been so faithfull to you by sending my personal photo holding your club logo.If I had not being real with my business,I wouldn't have gone all that far.So beleive me and please find out the truth from the present holding Bank in Germany.
As soon as you made the application today please keep me posted,remember this business is not suspose to last up to 7 working days starting from the first day of your application.Mind you,I presented you to them as the beneficiary to the fund incase if they ask you any question please tell them that you are a cousin to Late Engr. Kim Watton.
NOTE: DO NOT RESPOND
TO ANY MAIL THAT COMES FROM ANYBODY CLAIMING TO BE ANYTIME TO YOUR LATE
COUSIN.
Looking forward
to be hearing from you.

I believe you are
who you are, but Mr Obi continues to cast dark clouds
over your character.
He says not only
are you a homosexual, but you were trying to raise
money for Nigeria's
first gay web site and for this you are now
completely shunned
by your family and friends, and this is the real
reason why you are
in trouble and not for the reasons you stated.
I do not necessarily
believe him, but if these accusations are not kept
quiet then I risk
ruining my reputation as well.
What I require from
you to continue with this business is a hand-written
and signed
letter from you refuting these allegations.
That way if Mr Obi
continues to cause the club and I problems I will
have iron-clad evidence
against him and will sue him to the drycleaners.

Brother Simon,
How are you today?.
You have been delaying this business for so long.I would not be happy if the German Bank seize this fund after all this our efforts.You should know that German Government are very strict so you should not take any thing for granted.
Have you forgotten that starting from the first day of your application,we are not expected to still have the fund in their custody after 14 working days so do your best in persuading them to remitte your fund asap.
I have forwared to you a copy of the DEATH CERTIFICATE for your own record and perusal.Incase if they requested you to send it to them,please do forward it for their own confirmation,though they were having a copy of it with them over there.
I still insisting that you should send to me your proper identification if really you do not have any skeleton in your cupboard.Resend to me also your contact information as I've been requesting to have from you because I've shown to you my existance.Your private telephone number is needed too for communication wise.
Veiw the attached document and get back to me asap.
Sincerely,
Matt. Esq.

Simon,
Remember that you
are the bonafide beneficiary to this fund and you should not expect the
bank to be reminding you of your inheritance.You are supposed to be disturbing
them as the beneficiary and put it in black and white to them that you
will be very interested to visit them over there but you keep quiet.
There is no way I can correspond with them because they did not know me rather you are the one they knew as their customer and beneficiary to the accliamed fund.So send to them a reminding mail that you are still waiting to hear from them and will be keen to come over to Germany for the finalising of the transaction.And whatever they needed to have from you,please endeavour to make it avialable to them OK?

I lost the Lakewood
Bank details in particular hence could not inform

That is a real shame
because I had already bought my ticket and was
