Submitted By: SEEDY_R0M
What follows is a standard 419 Scammer letter, $millions on offer, no risk, etc, etc, etc. I've decided to string one of these Scum Sucking, Bottom Feeding Phukpygs along for a bit, It's my first "pet", so dunno how it's going to pan out.

Date: 1st May 2005
Dear Sir, I know this letter will come to you as a surprise because we don't have previous contact or arrangment,before but kindly take it as an offer of investment assistance.I got your contact through the NET from my seriousness and anxiousness in contacting a reputable foreigner who will assist me in investing overseas and have decided to seek your personal assistance in this transaction for future benefit of both parties.
I am Miss Sandra Mendes, a Sierra-Leonian now seeking nassylum in Dakar-Senegal under UNHCR).My father (late) chief John Mendes was the managing director of Rainbow Gold and Diamond Mine company in (KENEMA) Sierra-Leone, but was killed during the civil war by the rebels,but before his untimely death,while he was in the hospital,he told me of some vital deposit documents in his strong room which bears the total sum of Thirteen million five hundred thousand united states dollars(US 3.500,000.00) he deposited in a Security and Finance Company here in Dakar,Senegal on my name as the next of kin and beneficiary if he is unseen.He further warned and advised me not to invest this money in any war zones countries rather makes a foreign contact for my brighter life.I and my mother is presently residing at Dakar Senegal pending the period we should succeed in investing the fund overseas and we have maped out 20% as a partly reward for your assistance during this process.I have all the neccesary backing/proofs in respect of this consignment.
Awaiting your earnest response.Please handle this transaction with ulmost confidentiality. You should contact me immediately as soon as you receive this mail through the above email for further directives. you can contert me with this address sandra1mendes@yahoo.co.nz
thanks.
Yours Faithfully,
Miss Sandra Mendes
Nice, two contact addys, one is a .com, the other is a .co.nz
She also said a "reputable foreigner"...pfffft, obviously she doesn't know me.
After re-reading this, I noticed that it says 13½ million in one part & 3½ in another...a mistake anyone could make I s'pose.

She has arranged for her lawyer to mediate on the deal, he has a Canadian Yahoo account, very professional.
I'm glad that there is no cause for alarm, it makes me feel so much better about the deal, especially as Mr Muhammed Ali can be a bit handy with his fists, or at least his namesake is.
She would "love" to receive my home address as well, I am very impressed that she spelt receive correctly...I may just give her it.............NOT.
Anyway's, I'll contact her "brief" tomorrow from work, I'm not bloody paying for the call, besides, my work phone withholds the number.
I don't really know any details about Sandra, so I might try to drag some info about her in my next mail.
Dearest Fr. Jack,

What happened to the $13,500,000 I was initially promised? methinks the darling Sandra has pocketed the missing $10 Mil.

I thought another name thrown into the mail would make a nice touch...meet Mr. Ewan Huzarmy, my financial advisor from the company Grabbit & Runn.
Oh, in case your wondering what GIRFUY stands for...it's Get it Right F'n Up Ye.
Even if it progresses no further, I consider a photo of the scammer holding up the sign as a win
Hello again Sandra,
I shall contact Mr Muhammed Ali regarding the deal, I feel it will go smoothly for all concerned. My financial advisor (Mr. Ewan Huzarmy) has also demanded that before I give out any more private information, such as my home address, I should have some proof of identity such as a photograph with our company's motto on it. Sandra, could you please send a photograph of yourself holding a large sign with the words: GIRFUY YA BAWBAG The sign has to be held by you, the image has to be very clear & large. Once a satisfactory image has been received, then my financial advisor will be 100% happy for me to progress to the next stage. I myself trust you, but due to the large amount of money involved, I have to have proof for Mr. Ewan Huzarmy.
Your very good health,
Kindest Regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett.
_______________________________________________________________________________
I thought I'd mail Sandra's Lawyer to try & speed things up a tad.
I've no doubt that the mail will be opened by the same person anyway.
Dear Muhammed,
I am writing to you as requested by our mutual friend Sandra Mendes. I believe you are familiar with the business venture we are about to commence. My Financial Advisor, Mr. Ewan Huzarmy, of Grabbit & Runn Finances Ltd, has asked for photographic proof from Sandra holding a large sign with our company motto, I trust this will be sent as soon as possible to allow our business to progress to the next stage.
Looking forward to doing business with you.
Kindest Regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett.
_______________________________________________________________________________
How rude, here I am asking for a photo of the delightful Sandra, and she doesn't know what I look like.
After much thought, I went for the Tarantino look.
And YES, there are a couple of typos, intentional though
Dear Sandra & Muhammed,
I realised after I had sent my pervious mail, that you do not have a current photograph of me.
Please find attached, an up to date image.
Your very good health.
Kindest retards,
Fr. Jack Hackett

This was the one I've been waiting for, but unfortunately, no sign, no company motto, just some tart starting beside a car, not even a nice car...major disappointment, maybe she's using the $10 mil to by a Lear Jet instead.

I would love to do business with her as well, but I think our definitions of getting screwed differ slightly
I'm delighted that she finds me handsome though, I must let Quentin know.
I'll hit her again for the photo with the sign.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Dear Muhammed,
Thank you for your rapid response.
My Financial Advisor Mr. Ewan Huzarmy, will assist me with all the documents, and of course the sum of 1258 Euros required for the impotent documents. He does require a photograph of Miss Mendes holding a large sign with our company motto.
The photo has to be of good quality, and large clear writing.
The company motto is:
GIRFUY YA BAWBAG.
This is a Scottish saying which means "assimilation is futile".
I would be pleased to continue with this deal once the necessary photograph has been sent.
Kindest Regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett
_______________________________________________________________________________
Hello again Sandra,
Thank you for your photograph, you are very beautiful. In answer to your question, I am not married, maybe when the deal has been finished, we can meet for a meal sometime. I would love to meat you,
I'm sure we could be really good friends. Before I can go any further with the deal & send the required money to you. I need another photograph from you. This is purely for security purposes, besides, it will give me another chance to see your beautiful face again.
Could you please send a photograph with you holding up a large sign with my company motto on it.
This will make sure my financial advisor is 100% happy, and he will then free the funds so that we can continue with the deal.
The sign should say:
GIRFUY YA BAWBAG
Once the photograph has been received, I can send the money for the documents.
Kindest regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett.

Attn Fr. Jack Hackett,
Thanks for your email,well i have contacted Miss.Sandra Mendes,she told that she has sent her picture to you.
So when you pay this money now i send the two documents for you to sign it and send it back for me by fax,then with this two documents i will go to the security company for the releasing of the consignment.
Because the company will know the person they will transfered the consignment to and see his signature or her signature.

So send the money as soon as possible then we can finish the business before the weekend,you can call me for more information.

My reply to Sandra, along with another of Quentin holding a sign (and the undoctored original)...just in case they don't know what's requiredHello again Sandra,
Muhammed has mailed me again, I would love to start the cash transaction, but cannot unless I receive a photograph with my company motto on it.
I have attached another image of me holding a sign with the motto on it.
Please could you do the same, then my Financial Advisor will be happy.
Please send me a photo of you holding a large sign with the words:
GIRFUY YA BAWBAG
I will then send the cash for the documents to be released.
I hope to receive the photograph very soon.
Kindest Regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett.

Not much action last night, so I've decided to kick it up a notch & send "my" passport scan
Hopefully this will have the desired effect.
I've also added in another signature at the bottom...makes a nice touch dontchya think?
Good Morning Muhammed,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you, My passport was at my other office.
I have now scanned the passport as requested. I am now waiting for the requested photograph from Sandra to take the deal to the next level.
Please note, I cannot release the funds for the documents until the photograph has been sent.

Major disappointment, I thought I would be strutting about with the photo in my possession by now.
What follows is a bit of a back & forth, I know for a fact that no photo has been sent.
Oh well, it's the weekend now, do Nigerian lawyers work the weekend?
Dearest J. Hackett,
Sir, I hope you have received the pictures by now.
Best Regards.
Sandra.

Dear Muhammed,
I am finding it difficult to enter the details into the Western Union website. I am sending the money to:
Eju Agbobara
from Dakar, Senegal
It will only allow me to send £500, which is the equivalent of 738 Euros. Will this be acceptable, and can I send the rest of the money tomorrow?
I also need the name of the security company so that I can make arrangements with them.
I STILL do not have the photograph of Sandra holding the sign, is there some sort of problem with this?
I'm afraid I cannot progress any further without this item.
I trust you will send this immediately, as I would like to begin as soon as possible, if I do not receive the item, I will assume that you do not need my helpany further.
Kindest Regards,
Fr. Jack Hackett

This is my angry voice :-)
Muhammed,
I HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE PHOTOGRAPH WITH SANDRA HOLDING THE SIGN.
I HAVE GIVEN YOU ALL THE INSTRUCTIONS WITH WHAT SHOULD BE ON THE SIGN.
THIS IS SO MY FINANCIAL ADVISOR WILL ALLOW ME TO RELEASE THE FUNDS FOR TRANSFER.
WITHOUT THIS, I WILL BE FORCED TO CALL THE WHOLE DEAL OFF.
IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE WITH THE TRANSFER, THIS HAS TO BE DONE, I DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME LEFT AS IT WILL BE THE WEEKEND SOON.
THIS IS A MATTER OF URGENCY.

Fr. J. Hackett.

OK good people, I was fed-up & a bit dejected seeing as Mu & Sandra hadn't came across with the goods, so I decided to let my Financial Advisor (Ewan Huzarmy) loose on them with a semi-threatening mail.
I created another Yahoo account for the purpose, one which sounded a bit more official.
Dear Sir,
It has come to my attention that a client of mine is involved in an investment opportunity emanating from an unfortunate incident regarding a Miss Sandra Mendes's late Father.
I support his intention to invest the sum of 13,500,000 in the United Kingdom.
As you will realise, this is a vast sum of money, therefore, I have insisted that he arrange a password which can be used by all parties concerned.
The password chosen was to be Mr. Jack Hackett's company motto.
This being GIRFUY YA BAWBAG.
This was to be used on a large & clearly written sign held up my the aforementioned Miss Mendes.
I have demanded from Mr. Hackett, that before any of the money is sent for the release of the documents, the photograph mentioned above is sent to Mr. Hackett's mailbox.
Since this has not happened, and no more communication from Miss. Mendes has been received, I can only assume that you do not wish to proceed with the transaction.
If this photographic proof (with Miss Mendes holding the password sign) is NOT recieved within the next few hours, I can only assume you do NOT wish for my client to indulge in this business venture.
I await you further instructions.
