Incredibly there was an
attachment included in this e-mail which was a listing of 965 e-mail addresses
to be used as targets. Dear Beloved,
16 April 03 Dear Mrs Rufai I have received your e-mail concerning your desire to transfer your money out of Nigeria to enhance God's work. I am not a minister of the church but I am aware of some excellent and deserving causes here in the UK and I am sure that the money could be put to good use. Perhaps you only want to give to an established church and I can understand that but if you could trust me to ensure that your legacy is spent wisely then maybe you can get back to me. Yours sincerely Owen Lotts
16 April 03 To Metropolitan police Thought you may be interested in this
e-mail. Not so much the scam itself but somehow the sender has managed to attach
his/her mailing list of 965 names-some of which are church organisations.
16 April 03 Dear Owen Lotts,
16 April 03 Dear Mrs Rufai I have tried to telephone Mr Williams since receiving your e-mail but without success. Does he have an e-mail address that I can try or could he e-mail me? Yours sincerely Owen Lotts
17 April 03 Dear Owen Lotts,
17 April 03 Thanks for your message. I will
contact your lawyer this morning.
17 April 03 Dear Mr Williams Mrs Rufai has asked me to contact you regarding the transfer of some funds to be used for a good cause here in the UK. Could you let me know how you wish to transfer these funds please? Yours sincerely Owen Lotts
19 April 03 Hello Owen Lotts, Sequel to receipt of your email regarding my client Mrs Racheal Rufai's
contribution to your ministry as I am aware, I am sending you the way on how to
process the immediate transfer of the funds to your ministry. All I need to do is to file an application to the bank (International Bank of
West Africa IBWA) where the funds are for a change of beneficiary to you and
your ministry name on behalf of my client. Once I have submitted the application
and an approval is granted from the bank, you and your ministry have become the
rightful beneficiary of the funds and the funds would be processed and further
be transferred to your ministry without delay. The mode of transfer might be by
Certified Bank Cheque which is cashable anywhere in the World or you may suggest
any other way you prefer. Before I can proceed with the filing of the application for a change of
beneficiary, you are to send to me immediately your full name, ministry full
name and contact address, your personal identication(your international passport
or driver's licence) and your functional telephone and fax numbers. I would
include all these information on the application to the bank before the change
beneficiary name can be effected. You can scan to me your personal
identification. I would advise you call me on my telephone number +234 80 23262147 on next
week Tuesday for clarification while I await the requested information. Yours Faithfully, F.A.Williams (S.A.N.)
20 April 03 Dear Mr Williams There appears to be some confusion here. At my first contact with Mrs Rufai I wrote very clearly that I do NOT have a ministry here in the UK but that I did know of some deserving causes. You now ask details of my ministry which obviously I can't give you because I don't have one. If Mrs Rufai has now changed her mind and would, after all, prefer for the funds to go to a recognised ministry then I appreciate that but I can't supply false details. If, however, Mrs Rufai is willing to trust my judgement on what constitutes a deserving cause then I am still prepared to act on her behalf. Please let me know what direction your client now wants to take. Yours sincerely Owen Lotts
22 April 03 Dear Owen Lotts, Thank you so much for your mail and the information you passed through. I met
with Mrs Racheal Rufai and she truly confirmed to me that you have explained
this development to her, please accept my apology for I do not know of this
before. My client has not changed her mind. With the situation of things, the funds would be processed and transferred to
you therefore, you should forward to me the following information in order for
me to apply for change of beneficiary at the bank where my client kept the
funds: Your full name; your full contact address;your telephone number; your fax
number; and your personal identification(driver's licence/international
passport). You should upon the receipt of the meesage send to me the aforementioned
information and I would proceed accordingly. You should equally call me as we
need to establish a voice contact. I await to hear from you. Yours Faithfully, F.A.Williams(S.A.N.)
22 April 03 Dear Mr Williams You can contact me on the following numbers:- Tel. (+44) 020 7238 8012 Regards O Lotts These numbers are the The West African Organised Crime Section, National Criminal Intelligence Service
23 April 2003 Hello Owen Lotts, I got your mail but, I do not know why you want me
to call you when you have not sent to me the required information with which I
would process the transfer of the funds to you. You should send the information accross to me and
possibly you give me a call as you are delaying the process of transferring the
funds to you or you let me know of your intention. I await the information as well as your call. Yours Faithfully, F.A.Williams(S.A.N.)
