ATTN:MR WAYNE KERR,
We received your email and we are please to again make some more clearification on this joint partnership.
first we like to have your cooperation to assist in getting football clubs (ANY WHERE in the U.S,Europe,Asia,Australia(football clubs)
for some of our highly talented football players.as you may have known Nigeria is richly blessed with talented and skillful players and most of these players play abroad(europe,asia ,australia & America)and they are playing wonderful ly well in their respective football clubs.
Hence, this would be a big business for us
if some of these players can be opportuned to get signed in any football clubs any where in the world-we would have percentage (commission)on each players sign on fee,and some other fees that may come up as a result of this transfer of any player.
as soon as we have every arrangement concluded we shall discuss further on this joint venture business .if you may also like ,we can send you copies of pictures of some of this players(strikers,mid fielders,and other good wingers)
you should also contact Mr .MICHAEL BAM(OUR OFFICIAL CLUB AGENT)through his phone 234 80 55 15 88 98 for more detail informtion about these players.
Best Regards
OLU AINA
Naturally I ignore the request to phone Mr Michael Bam.
Sir
At this stage I think I would appreciate seeing some pictures of your players in question and if you could provide a dossier on each one.
I think I need this preliminary information made available to me before I could say whether this venture is worthwhile or not.
Many thanks,
Wayne Kerr
I don't know where he's taking this scam. Maybe he doesn't know either. So let's see how prepared he is.

I get the feeling that these guys are just after work visas. So time to get serious and play the game...
Sir
Having talked to the coach the other day it has been decided that we'd be happy to also give a trial to ODESANYA OLADELE SHOLA, another striker you mentioned.
With the season over we feel we lacked goal scoring ability over the season and the club is determined to look at all avenues possible to better our position for next season.
Hence could you please provide personal and passport details for the above player as you did for Okpalla.
Also a photo holding our logo would once again be required.
Once all these are through I will send a combined application off to the league to have these players come on trial.
Assuming the league is happy to arrange visas for these players we can then discuss our arrangement with you.
I will let you know now that the players get their trial free of charge, and likewise they are not paid during the trial.
However we will pick up their airfares and we do offer free food and accomodation for the length of their trial (usually a week), and they will (of course) be picked up at the airport.
We do offer a spotter's fee to agents, and hence you would be in line for this, either by one or two - assuming the league accepts both players.
On successful signing of the players there will be bonuses as well. We will discuss details later - firstly I wish to finalise visas for the players via the league.
Many thanks,
Wayne Kerr.

Sir
Thank you for all your assistance thus far.
I need just a little bit more from you before I can send through the application.
Firstly I will need a photo for BALUJOKO OLUMUYIWA A. BAMGBOSE with the Arse Clowns logo if he is to travel with the two players.
And a note here, whilest the photos you have sent me have been acceptable, they are a bit bright and out of focus. I don't know whether this is the original photo or the scan which is causing the problem but we'd appreciate it if you'd fix it for this and any future photos.
On that note I'd be curious to know how much you pay for your photographer to take each picture - so that we may subsidise future costs - although I cannot do that on this occasion.
Perhaps you could scan a receipt and forward to me.
Many thanks,
Wayne Kerr.
A fellow scambaiter was curious as to how much they pay for photos so I ask the question, but as you'll see later I don't get the desired response.

Dear Olu
Thank you very much for all your efforts this far and for sending through the photos.
I sent through all 3 applications to league HQ today and unfortunately they were rejected.
In principle they are happy to supply the visas but they were not happy with the low quality photographs.
I am sorry I may have mislead you here because I thought they would be ok but they say they are not.
Is it too much trouble for you to re-scan the 3 photos and send again. The size you have been sending is good, but you need to bring the brightness to normal and perhaps focus a bit better as well.
Many thanks,

Dear Sir
It is good to hear from you sir and I hope I find you happy and healthy.
Indeed, I received the application back just yesterday and there is a
slight problem.Two of the applications were successful but in the case of Odesanya
Oladele Shola he was not given police clearance due to an apparenet
connection he has with criminals, namely scammers. I am sorry I am not
able to get more detail than this as that is all they would tell me.If you could explain how this might have come about I may be able to do
something about it.Please I await your response.
Regards,
Wayne Kerr.

Dear Mr Kerr,
Thank you very much for your efforts,I am indeed grateful for your
efforts
so far on this.
We are Happy to hear of the success of the applications processes.and
sorry
for not writing earlier since yesrerday
I have been unable to check my computer for mails.
Infact I was totally dumbfounded when I read with total griff and
surprises
about the other players pollice report details(ODEANYA OLADELE SHOLA).It
is quite unfortunate to hear this kind of report.The fact that the
player
is a youth and have not had such experience in international dealings/transactions.From
time we have known him to be a dedicated football player very reliable
and trust worthy.The police sholud in there effort not rely on their investigations they
should try and work hard to get full details of such unscrupulouse
person
using the same name of the poor boy.They should as well check the
passport
information of the suspected scammers in a bid to determine this proof.We are indeed not happy about this turn of event and thanking you for
intimating
us earlier about this issueMeanwhile,you should go on with the final processing of the other
applicants
Please kindly send your phone contact for communications with you from
time
to time
we would be glad to commence the joint venture arrangement with you and
we would not relent on our effortOLU ANIA

Dear Mr Kerr,
we are also of the view that the passport must have got to Mr Bennet may
be due to high number of visa applications at the embassy every day he
may not have stamped the passport ,,but all you need do from your end is
constant follow up
by getting him on phone or other means so that he can expedite action on
it.Best Regards
