DEAR KEN ROSEN

 

THIS IS TO ACKNOWLEDGE WITH THANKS THE RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL AND THE CONTENT ALSO WELL NOTED.

BEFORE I PROCEED, LET ME FIRST COMMENT ON WHAT YOU STATED IN YOUR MAIL. I INRODUCED YOU TO THIS BUSINESS, SO IF THE SHARING PARTERN DID NOT FAVOR YOU, THAT MEANS YOU ARE VERY GREEDY AND A DESPERADO. FAILURE TO FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTIONS BEING GIVEN YOU BY THIS OFFICE, I WILL DROP YOU AND START LOOKING FOR A TRUSTWORTHY AND RELIABLE PARTNER, FOR THIS TRANSACTION. I`M EVEN SKEPTICAL THE WAY YOU TALK, BECAUSE YOU MIGHT DECIDE TO SIDE-TRACK ME BY SITTING ON THE FUNDS AFTER THE FUNDS IS BEING TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, AND I DO NOT WANT SUCH THING TO HAPEN.

MEANWHILE, I WILL BE GOING TO THE FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF JUSTICE ABUJA, TO SWEAR AFFIDAVIT OF OATH AND ALSO OBTAIAN THE DEATH CERTIFICATE OF MY LATE CLIENT, MR. ROLAND GONZALES ON YOUR BEHALF. I WILL SCAN COPIES AND SEND TO YOU VIA
E-MAIL FOR YOUR PERUSAL.

FURTHERMORE, I WISH TO INFORM YOU THA T THIS TRANSACTION IS A LITTLE BIT CAPITAL INTENSIVE, OF WHICH BOTH PARTIES WILL HAVE TO SPEND WISELY TO ACTUALISE THIS GOAL. I WILL HAVE TO SEND YOU A TEXT LETTER OF APPLICATION WHICH YOU WILL HAVE TO SEND TO THE BANK DIRECTLY WHERE THE FUNDS ARE PRESENTLY, AFTER WHICH THE BANK WILL HAVE TO ADVICE YOU ON THEIR MODALITIES OF PAYMENT.

FINALLY MY GOOD FRIEND, I WILL ADVICE YOU NOT TO DISAPOINT ME WHEN THE FUNDS FINALLY GET TO YOUR CUSTODY, BY A WAY OF SIDE-TRACKING ME, OR BY SITING ON
THE MONEY WITHOUT GIVEN ME MY OWN SHARE. MAKE SURE YOU KEEP THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THIS TRANSACTION, NEVER TO DISCUSS IT WITH ANYONE, FOR SAFETY AND SECURITY
REASONS.

GIVE ME A LITTLE BIT OF YOUR PROFILE
1, HOW OLD ARE YOU
2, ARE YOU MARRIED OR SINGLE
3, WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION.

I NEED ANSWER TO THESE QUESTIONS, SO THAT I CAN KNOW IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING THIS TRANSACTION, AND TO KNO W WHOM I AM DEALING WITH.

 

THANKS AND GOD BLESS YOU

 

AWAITING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE

SINCERELY YOURS,

 

BARR. RAYMOND SITHOLE.

Hmm… I think we got off on the wrong foot, Raymond.

I do appreciate you bringing this opportunity my way, but you really are laying claim to a grossly unfair percentage of my children’s inheritance. $8 million is a lot of money for what essentially amounts to a finder’s fee and some paperwork. Seriously, if the situation was reversed and you were the intended recipient of these funds, how much would you feel a fair commission would be?

As for my profile, I’m 36 years old, married, and I’m a program manager for a software company. I’m not sure how that helps you determine whether I’m capable of “handling this transaction,” though. Are you secretly screening for an on-line dating service?

I can assure you that I am a very trustworthy and reliable person, and I would be happy to furnish you with letters attesting to this from my friends and colleagues if you so desire.

By the way, while I have to admit that you’ve piqued my morbid curiosity with your kind offer to forward me his death certificate, I have to ask: who’s this Roland Gonzales guy? I thought we were talking about my Uncle Eddie (may he rest in peace).

Let me know how you’d like to proceed,

Ken
