Dear sir,

I greet you in the name of our lord Jesus Christ. My name is Mrs TINA EZE . I am a widow and a mother of three all girls. I know you will see my letter to you as an embarrassment considering the fact that we do not know ourselves. I plead with you to be patient with me I feel very pleased to contact you for some assistance and business relationship. I live in Nigeria with my children. My late husband was a loving, caring and hardworking businessman who died unfortunately In a ghastly auto crash. Before the sudden death of my beloved husband, and father of my daughters, my late husband intended to establish a business in the united states of America with the sum of$30 million united states dollars, but unfortunately he died before this proposed venture. Following his death, his family members insisted that I am not entitled to his property (Assets and money) since I am
a woman and my offspring's all girls as I do not have a male child for my husband. Well, according to some barbaric traditional laws here in Nigeria (Africa) which doesn't permit a woman to inherit a man's property, as they are expected by tradition to take over the management of his business and other properties including myself who automatically becomes a wife to one of his immediate brothers. Unfortunately to this wicked family members, the $30million united states dollars which my late husband intended to use in establishing a business in the United States was deposited in a bank account unknown to his family .I and the lawyer is the only one aware of this money, so I have discussed this matter with a staff of the bank that i want this money personally so that I will be able to take care of my children's educational needs since my husband's family members vehemently opposed the furtherance of their education. According to the staff of the bank, the best way to secure this money is to transfer this money to a bank account outside Nigeria For safe-keeping, later it will be used for business establishment subject to the Advise of whosoever finally assists us. At this juncture, I there fore ask for your sincere assistance in providing us with your bank details and the enablement to facilitate the remittance of this fund into your nominated account. As soon as I get your positive response, I shall provide you with all the necessary detail for this transfer. However, I have decided to to give you 20% of the total money as a reward for your sincere assistance and the remaining 65% of the money will be for my investment as I will want to keep aglow my late husbands dream of investing in real estate. To be able to help me, kindly send through my
email, your personal details including your contact information for easy communication. Thanking you for your anticipated response

Mrs TINA EZE

Dear Tina

You poor lady. I feel so sorry for your predicament. Not only have you lost your husband but his family are not treating you right. Please be assured that I will include you in my prayers every night and pray for the Good Lord to protect you and your 3 lovely daughters. By the way, how old are they?

Have you now had to marry your late husband's brother. A lady should not be forced into a marriage against her will. Marriage, in the sanctity of Jesus, should be a matter of free choice for both men and women alike. My dear lady I will do whatever is in my power to help you out of your troubles and hopefully you will be able to rebuild your life, and that of your daughters, and overcome what is hopefully only a temporary setback.

A little about myself.- I am retired, aged 60 and Bless the Lord in fine health. I never married but spent my working life building up and selling a number of companies in England and Holland. I was very fortunate in what I was doing and built up enough capital to be able to retire 5 years ago. My interests are the Church and ornithology (bird watching). You are obviously a Christian Lady so we do have some common ground to share.

Please let me know how I can assist you.

Yours sincerely

Jeremy Prider

I've just spoken to someone in your department who advised me to send this e-mail to you.

I've been corresponding with a 419 fraudster for a couple of weeks (as fun) & yesterday he mailed me to transfer money to Lagos via Western Union. I replied that the nearest Western Union was in London (200 miles from me) and that my own bank, HSBC, should be able to make the transfer direct to First Bank of Nigeria.

That resulted in the e-mail below which requests that I transfer the funds to a named Barclays account.  

Hope this is of some use to you. If you need any more info please call me on xxxxx-xxxxxx

Your branch manager will probably be getting a call next week from Godman Automation.

On Monday I will be sending a copy of a paying in slip for £2590.20 (the equivalent of $4200) to the 419 scammers.

Unfortunately I've made a mistake in the account number and specified account 73335223 not 73335222.

Hope this helps in some way.

Regards

19 May 03
Dear Dr Williams

Sorry I couldn't get back to you on Friday, I was at a funeral of an old friend in Bristol all day.

Have this morning deposited in the Godman Automation account £2590.20 (The equivalent of $4200) Copy of receipt attached.

Knowing the UK banking system it will take 3 days to clear so your agent should have access to it on Thursday.

How soon will you be able to transfer the funds into my account?

Dear Mr Umaru and Dr Williams

Have received your e-mail and fax concerning the cost of transfer charge and have just come back from my bank. 
They assure me that they notified the recipient Barclays branch on the 22nd May and confirm that the details are as follows:

Original payment made on 19th May
Amount:- £2590.20 ($ equivalent of $4200)
Barclays Bank plc, Metropolitan Essex Group Business Centre
Sort Code:- 20-30-19
Account Number: 73335223
Account Name:- Goodman Automation Ltd

Amendment actioned May 22nd
Amount:- £2590.20 ($ equivalent of $4200)
Barclays Bank plc, Metropolitan Essex Group Business Centre
Sort Code:- 20-30-19 
Account Number: 73335222
Account Name:- Goodman Automation Ltd
My bank has today again notified the Metropolitan Essex Group Business Centre of the amendment.
I cannot do anything further as my bank has confirmed all of the above. I can only suggest that your UK correspondent calls in to his branch to sort this out. Believe me I find this just as frustrating as you do but the speedy solution to this must lie within the Metropolitan Essex Group Business Centre branch.
Kindest regards

29 May 2003 Phoned Barclays Fraud Office - It has advised the branch manager

29 May 2003
Dear Mr Umaru and Dr Williams
I have just returned from the bank and they have told me the following:-
1 - Tracer slips are internal documents and are never given to clients.
2 - The correction was definitely made on May 22 and the funds transferred to the correct account (Sort Code:- 20-30-19 Account Number: 73335222)
The bank staff I'm sure now believe that I must be demented for continuing to chase up something which they have already assured me before has been actioned. Quite frankly it is embarassing to go back and question their efficiency so often.
I can do no more at this end - please ask your correspondent to go to the Essex branch to sort this out. This would not have happened if Dr Williams had accepted payment direct from my bank to the First Bank of Nigeria as I suggested on May 15. The payment would have been direct into FBN and Mrs Bello would now have been able to collect her $30million.
I fail to see how a major national bank cannot accept funds directly from another major bank.
Please ask your correspondent in the UK to sort this quickly.
Jeremy Prider

Dear Sir, How are you today, I hope you are find over their, please Sir what is the siutuation of things now. I await your response,
Mrs. Tina Bello.

30 May 2003
Dear Mrs Bello
Dr Williams from the bank claims that the money I sent to his correspondent's account is not there. My bank, however, assures me that the transfer went through to that account after the initial mix-up on the account number.It would have been faster for me to make a payment to FBN direct from my own bank as I originally suggested.Do you know whether the correspondent in England (Goodman Automation Ltd) is trustworthy? It would be easy for him to withdraw the money and claim that it was not in the account.Apart from making another payment to FBN I can't see a solution to this.I have suggested to Dr Williams that his correspondent goes to the Essex branch of Barclays to sort this out but I haven't had a reply from him. Hopefully this will happen and you can then have access to your funds. If I hear any more I will let you know.
Best wishes

I do not understand what is going on:-
1 My bank has assured me that the money is in the Goodman Automation Account.
2 Has your correspondent been into the Essex branch to check out the hold-up?
3 Is your correspondent trustworthy? He may have withdrawn the funds and is now claiming that they are not there.
4 If a further payment to FBN is necessary how do I get back the money already transferred to Goodman?
5 If I am to transfer more money to FBN I would prefer to make a direct telegraphic transfer from my own HSBC bank which is a recognised partner of FBN. That way the money will be with you the same day and you can verify it on your own internal banking system and we can all stop chasing our tails. I am not disposed to send money through a post office moneygramme (whatever that is). The post office in the UK is not the most efficient of organisations.

4                    If a further payment to FBN is necessary how do I get back the money already transferred to Goodman?

ANSWER: IMMEDIATELY THE TRACER GET THE MONEY RECONVERED FRON THE CORESPONDENT ACCOUNT, WE WILL IMMEDIATELY TRANSFER THE MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT BACK TO YOU BY SWIFT.

5                    If I am to transfer more money to FBN I would prefer to make a direct telegraphic transfer from my own HSBC bank which is a recognised partner of FBN. That way the money will be with you the same day and you can verify it on your own internal banking system and we can all stop chasing our tails. I am not disposed to send money through a post office moneygramme (whatever that is). The post office in the UK is not the most efficient of organisations.

    ANSWER: YOU HAVE TO MAKE THIS PAYMENT VIA THE  OUR CORESPONDENT OR POST OFFICE MONEY GRAMMED OR THE WESTERN UNION TO AVIOLD RAISING OF EYE-BROWN ON YOUR FUND ANBD FOR SECURITY REASONS. NOTE WE DO NOT ACCEPT DIRECT TRANSFER IN THIS KIND OF TRANSACTION TO AVIOLD QUARIE FROM PRESIDENCY.

 Note that I am doing all this for you becuase  of the good relationship i have with your attorney Barrister Akins. You are advice to take to my instructions  so that we can get this done once and for all.

I await your immediate response.

Thanks.

How stupid are you?

My name is NOT Jeremy Prider.

Your name is NOT Akins Umaru or Dr Frank Williams.

You are a Nigerian 419 Fraudster who can’t write English.

You will shortly be appearing on my website:- www.nigerian419fraud.freeserve.co.uk and you can join the rest of your thieving band of crooks who have had their time wasted by me.

Now run away little boy and don’t bother me again.
