I recently was diagnosed with a severe case of anal volcanoes and the doctor says I must remain in close proximity to my healthcare provider, lest the volcanoes erupt and cause my rectal cavity to become the next Pompeii.I do however trust you 100%. You seem like a good person and I am utterly confident in your word and obvious honesty when it comes to these financial matters.

Is there anythingelse we can do to keep this transaction running? I really do want to be involved.Thanks!Sincerely,Turd. M Furgeson

Dear Furgeson,

How are you doing today and your health which is the most important thing to me,i hope your fine?

I have received your mail and it's well understood by me,if your unable to come here to finalize this transaction then your going to contact the bank through email so that the Bank management will process and transfer the fund into your bank account after that then i will come over to your country for sharing the fund which i want use my own share for lucrative business ventures in your country.On coming accross your contact,i was touched spiritually and physically to connect you, with great feelings that you might be of great help to me,hence i decided to contact you.I am a very positive believer and my intuitions have never deceived me before,as a result, i have the absolute convintion that you will neither betray nor disappoint me in this transaction.Rather,i am very hopeful that you will give me all the maximum assistance needed to realize this transaction.

To be very honest with you,this business i have introduced to you is very genuine and highly benefitial.Besides,it is 100% risk-free because no trouble or problem is associated with it either in the short-run or in the long-run as i have been working with this bank for many years till now and hence,i know all its hidden secrets very well and have mapped out my good strategies to carry out this transaction without any failure.

Nonetheless,before we proceed,you should please try to call me on my private phone numbers: 0022675668600 immediately after reading through this mail for us to have a brief talk about this transaction so that i can advise you properly on the best steps we are

Good day,

I am sorry it has taken me so long to get back to you. I do not think it is safe for me to contact you on the phone right now, as I think the police may be following me. Can we possibly continue to talk via email?

I also think we should come up with a codename for our transaction... how aboutchlamydia?

Please get back to me as soon as possible so we can discuss the transfer of Chlamydia in more detail.

May I ask how you plan to get the money to my country?

Thank you for trusting me. I want you to know that I trust you as well.

Sincerely,

Dear Ferguson,

Greetings to you.

How are you doing together with your entire family, hope all is well? Please sorry for been delayed toward my last respond, although I had been searched to arrange all the necessary document which our Bank may require from you. I m happy that I have collected every papers concerned this business now waiting your respond and guarantee. Note; l am here to provide you anything that my Bank would wants to know from you only you must update me any message you are going to received from here in Bank, I will advice you what to do please it very important this is avoid mistake from your side.

We must work in one agreement to succeed on this claim of fund. I am an official member of the bank and all I need from you is your total cooperation. I have not contacted you to waste your time rather for us to apply wisdom for the success of this claim. The diseased customer is from United State of America. I am sending you here with an enforcement letter of claim which you should fill and send to my bank for request of claim. I want you to understand my details and honor to you and you should review that the most significant thing now is to convince my bank for immediate release of the fund into your bank account there in your country. Also I want you to take your time and inquire about me in my bank in a way bank official will not know that we teamed to make this claim.

My duty here is to supply to you any information necessary which my bank will need to confirm you as the beneficiary of the fund, as you must know that there will be

investigation from my bank only to know if you are the right person to put claim to this deposit. Now, all you need to do is to apply for the release of this total fund into your bank account in your country. I thought of visiting you there for us to have one on one meeting as I said last time but unfortunately to me, such cannot be considered without the bank approval because of my position in the bank.

I do not want any staff of the bank to know that i am responsible for this transaction and this Is where I lay the future survival hope of my children. You should not change your name and nationality in this transaction because you are going to apply as the extended relationship to the deceased customer. Note, if you send this letter to the bank, the bank will not delay to contact you and please do not respond to the bank without my direction. This is to prevent mistake from your side. Therefore, see the official letter of claim Attached, complete it and send it to the bank through the bank Email address BANK EMAIL: (ecobankfaso@mail15.com). You can as well send a copy to me before sending to the Bank, so i can cross check it before you send it to the bank.

My best regard to you and your family.

Dr. Jaslin Ikhsan.

Dear Jaslin,

Here is the letter you requested. I did want to mention that I am moving next week from Itchynuts Way to Fingerinbutt Street... is that going to be a problem?

Dear Jaslin,

I can assure you that this is no joke. I belong to a specific religious branch of the followers of the Sun God, Ra (Long may he reign). And although my religion generally forbids financial transactions with strangers, I am willing to proceed if I can only see your sweet face. As far as the open handed slap on the behind, this is a sign of trust that my people do to show that they are the most intimate of friends.

I apologize if this seems strange to you, but Ra dictates that I follow certain procedures when dealing with money.

I trust you, sir... with all my heart.

Please, let us continue this transaction. I only want to see your face, and then I will let you give me Chlamydia.

Turd M. Ferguson.

you at the bank so we could hug and be the best of friends!I would bring the signed forms with me and we could go to the bank and transfer

the money together... then we could all go out for ribs.
