"Smash & Grab," "Hit & Run," no matter what name you have for it this one represents the scam in it's basest form. Lack of grace and finesse characterize this version, just the most transparent ruse possible that someone with an IQ of around 40 should have no problems immediately seeing through. The sheer fucking idiocy of this one is enough to make a dog laugh.

PLEASE IT IS THE SAME DR.JOHN OKAFOR AS IN nwachinemere@epatra.com BUT I OPENED THIS ADDRESS FOR CONFIDENCIALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION SO ALL YOUR REPLIES SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO THIS ADDRESS.

Dear Matt,

Thank you for your repons to my mail.First of all I will like you to understand the proccess of this transaction and your roll before you go in.The nature of the transaction in details: My colleagues and I are members of the bank panel that will be charged to investigate the whole process of this inheritance fund transfer. We are to prepare the proof of kinship right here in the bank with the personal information that you will give us.We do not want to have any hitch in this transaction as a result of delays and in the process put USD20,000,000.00 at stake. We have been in the banking profession for years and know what can make a transaction of this kind to backfire. This will mean toying with our career which we don't want.

*** You will send your application to the bank which will undergo some screening but you don't have to be afraid because me and my colleagues are also members of the pannel,we are there to protect you.

*** Soon as your application is received, it will be processed and you will in turn receive your acknowledgement letter from the bank showingthereceipt of your application.

*** The bank will stipulate in the acknowledgement letter the conditions with which this fund shall be swift transferred to your designated account in your country or as the case may be. Transfer charges will be deducted from the principal(USD20,000,000.00) and to be paid by none of the participants( owners of this transaction-You and us).

*** In the application it will be stated that you will take care of transfer charges. This is a mere official protocol to get us protected.

*** Now I think everything is very clear. We are only interested in getting the transaction successfully concluded. We know that 75% of USD20,000,000.00 is enough for us to live comfortably till we die. Greed kills.



"Greed kills," hmm? Would that include the kind of greed necessary to be willing to help a perfect stranger steal?



My Word:
"UNITED WE MUST STAND BUT DIVIDED WE ARE BOUNDTOFALL". This transaction is riskfree and will never involve any one along the line if only you are ready to follow our guidelines. Do not reply any letter to the bank without sending me a copy of such letter for a review to avoid mistakes that may effect this transaction. All you need to do is to understand that the watchword is confidentiality and trust. Do not expose this to friends to protect this transaction from suffering a hitch anywhere along the line. Everything is legal and will be legally done. The attorney will get all the fund transfer approval documents legally to effect the transfer.There is nothing different from the normal bank fund transfer proccedure. The only difference is that we are going to change the particulars of the next of kin who is late and any person can stand for this claim.We are 100% sure because we have carried out series of investigations concerning this fund and discovered that except we move it out, it will be furfitted to the government as unclaimed bills. So do not be afraid. All we need is your maximium cooperation and maturity to see that we finally smile together as one in few days from now. The text of the application will be sent to you as soon as you show further interest.And every information you will attach with the application will be provided too. We have studied this transaction before going into it. Believe that there is no problem otherwise we wouldn't have been involved. The nationality of the next of kin was not disclosed in the information with the bank so it is not subject to sex,race,language,age,occupation or nationality.You may be a man or a woman and maycomefrom any foreign country around the world. It is true the late Mr.Bussak, was a German national but can have his cousin any where in the world. A cousin may be partenal or maternal. All what the bank wants is to have the information which I will send to you because it is impossible for the wrong person to have it. You will have it because we are interested and thereby will get it out for you. Finally the only thing is to keep this transaction secret, do all what the bank asks you to do at the right time, and always be in constant communication with me for advice before you answer anything from the bank. I assure you that the ten banking days will look like ten banking hours.Please do not be afraid. You mustn't need to be the real heir in this situation. All we need is to use your contact as a foreign partner. That is why you have to put in a copy of the information I will send to you about the late Mr.Bussak in your application to the bank. The only difference is that you have to change the name of the next of kin to your own name. Every othernecessaryproof that is needed will be arranged here in the bank. Information about the family of the deseased will be sent to you with the text of application which you will send to the bank for the claim of the fund as soon as you show further interest. See this as a life opportunity.Call me on my line +228-9111730 if there is any thing that is still disturbing your mind so that we can get started. This will enable us conclude this transaction shortly. Please remember to keep everything to yourself as confidentiality is the only key to this expected success. I shall be glad to answer any question(s) as required. My contact phone is +228-9111730. + is your international access code while calling out from your country.Usually it is 011 for America and Canada and 00 for many European nations. 228 is the international code for Republic of Togo.



All they want here is an account number and a SWIFT code(a SWIFT code in bank to bank tranfers operates in the manner of a PIN at an ATM, except it's only unique to the bank and simply facilitates transfers without written authorization)to empty the mark's account. Nothing wrong with that, is there?

"Issuing body: The government"? Who the fuck else would issue a goddamn passport, McDonald's? And what the hell is so damn important about passport possession that this fact has to be included? Do you feel more confident knowing "The government" issued the "Chief of the group" and his crew of ass gardeners a few sheets of paper with a cheap plastic cover and a snapshot of their ugly mugs inside? If this is funny, I guarantee the "Text of application" will take your breath away...
