Attn: Beneficiary,
Following the recent meeting held on 6th, May 2013 with the President of Federal Republic of Nigeria Dr. Good-luck Ebele Jonathan, a total sum 1.6 Billion dollars has been mapped out by the SENATE to settle all outstanding debts owed to foreign contractors, it has therefore become imperative for us to explore our options for reducing our debt servicing payment to affordable and sustainable levels.
I am Mr. Terry Dagogo the Deputy Chairman Investigation Committee (EFCC). The purpose of this committee among other is to investigate, verify and settle all outstanding debts owed to foreign contractors/beneficiaries whose payment is overdue during the last regime of late President umaru musa Yar'adua. Many abnormalities had happened in the central bank of Nigeria where some top official of the apex Bank collected money from innocent contractors and abandon them half way with levies and taxes during the appointment of Professor Charles Soludo.
Consequently, we received a directive payment order from the office of Mr.President and also the new Central bank Governor(Lamido Sanusi Lamido)ordering the above office to settle all genuine contractors/beneficiaries whose debts has been outstanding for a long time now. Note that The reasons why your payment is been delayed for so long is that there was a counter claim for the payment of your funds by Mr. Michael D.Kroetsch and the first payment authorization code that was issued to you has been corrupted due to the counter claim. This office will want to know if you sign any "Deed of Assignment" in favor of Mr. Michael D. Kroetsch, thereby making him the current beneficiary with the following account details stated below:
Bank Name: First Convenience Bank,
Account Name: Michael D. Kroetsch,
Bank address: 1990 old Spanish Trial
Road Houston Texas USA.
Account Number: 415 994 151,
Routing Number: 111 906 271
Swift Code: FCBIUS6S
ABA: 083000056
Branch ID 00231
If you are aware of this, kindly explain on this issue, so that we can instruct the paying bank to release your Fifteen million five hundred Thousand united states dollars only. to the above stated bank account submitted by Mr. Michael D. Kroetsch in receiving the payment on your behalf.
Call me immediately you receive this message for more information on my direct line: +234-8074626353,I remain
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Terry Dagogo
Deputy Chairman Investigation Committee (EFCC).

My reply was:
Dear Mr. Terry Dagogo
Thank you again for your fast reply. I am sure these terrible people will find their time in prison worth of repenting their crimes. I expect the full extent of the law to be applicable to these people trying to steal money from their rightful owners. What will happen to them? Please do share, but I am afraid my poor old heart might not be strong to live long enough to see these criminals in prison.
So, let's proceed on with our own business before time passes.
My full name is Melanoma Freitas and address for contact is:

Please do the right thing and tell me what's needed from us to work this business deal to a good end.

Well, sure, let's "talk". I setup a UK-based free voice mail only number. Callers to this number are charged premium prices, because the number is free for me. But i am not ready to give the number yet. I have to play dumb and dumber. A good catch. So this was my reply:
Dear Mr. Terry Dagogo
Thank you for being so understanding. I did not have a mobile phone until now, but seeing you are going to great lengths to hepl me I went to the local Carphone Warehouse here in Leeds and bought myself a new smartphone.
It's a beautiful iPhone 7 with the most brilliant screen. Apparently it has a new design, which I couldn't say because I never had one before. It comes with a rather large 4 inch Retina Display, which I am told is about the best we can buy today. Its ultrafast A6 chip makes it a fast smartphone and it even works on Wireless Fidelity (WiFi). This I know as I use WiFi at the local cafe store.
I paid US$ 700 for this new smartphone but I believe it will be money well invested, if we can move forward with this.
Faithfully yours, in good

So I have not given him the phone number. Just so that we can take a bit longer... I will upload the voice mail with his message if|when I get it.
This is similar to an old thread by TonyHughes: Dirty little scammer gets taken for a ride.
