Dear Mr. Musa,
I understand your email completely.
However, I will require some official documentation from you before I
wire the insurance premium to your secretary. For instance, you
mentioned in your initial email that there was some mixup of some
numbers and names (the reason for keeping this confidential).
Therefore, I would like signed verification from the Vandaag Lotto
stating that I am indeed a winner of this lottery and the exact amount
of my prize.
Also, I will require a copy of the insurance policy from the insurance
underwriters. After all, surely you don't expect me to pay for
something that I haven't yet seen.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation.

Dear Mr. Musa
It's heartening to see that you are up at 1:00 AM on a Sunday morning
trying to resolve this issue with me.
However, you still haven't addressed my concerns.
Therefore I have an alternate proposal.
When the payment center officials arrive I can give them the $1550.00
in cash (what could be better). They can then contact you to verify
this payment with you and you can fax me insurance certificate for me
to present to them.
I consider this proposal to be reasonable as well.
I await your reply.

Dear Wanda L. Willing,
Your e-mail was well received.
As regards the time i as the Director of promotions have mandated all the
staff of vandaag lottery promotions Lagos Nigeria to make sure that they
all including me work round the clock(everyday)to make sure that all of our
lottery winners claim/receive their various winning sums before the end of
this lottery promotions because if after the end of this lottery promotions
any winner that fails to claim/receive his or her insured winning sum will
no longer claim/receive the insured winning sum any longer.
We have procedures and all of our lottery winners must adhere strictly to
our procedures.
The payment centre officials have no right to receive any money for the
insurance fee from you.
The payment centre officials will not attend to you unless you present the
insurance certificate to them.
I was informed by the payment centre that the officials by names Mr.Mark
Simpson and Mr.David Bond will arrive the United States of America on
tuesday so as to meet with you.
Make sure you pay for the insurance certificate on or before monday.
I repeat make sure you present the insurance certificate to them or else
they will not attend to you.

Subject: Re: Make sure you pay for the insurance certificate on or before monday.
Dear Mr. Musa,
I hope you are well.
You have backed me into a corner.
I have considered your email and have decided to proceed with the
payment to your secretary in the amount of $1550.00 via Western Union.
However. It appears that there are certain laws here in the U.S.
pertaining to the transfer of money to certain countries in Africa and
the Middle East that were passed in the wake of the September 11
attacks in New York and Washington. Nigeria is but one of these many
countries.
These laws are designed to ensure that any money transferred to these
countries from the U.S. are not used to support terrorism or do not
come from the proceeds of terrorism.
To facilitate the transfer of the $1550.00 to your secretary will require
the purchase of an Anti-Terrorism certificate from the Department of
Homeland Security. The cost of this certificate is only $2150.00 USD
plus a $200.00 administration fee (valid for 6 months from date of
issue).
Therefore, before we can proceed with the payment to you secretary,
you will be required to pay this fee.
As soon as you wire the fee to me, I will transfer the $1550.00.
Please wire the $2350.00 via Western Union to my address which I have
already given to you.
Alternately, you can simply wire the difference of the two fees to me
($800.00) and then fax the insurance certificate. This will save on
Western Union fees as well as precious time.
As a sign of good faith, I will be more than happy to reimburse your
company for the cost of this certificate once the check for my
$1,500,000.00 winning clears.
Again, as a sign of good faith, I am willing to proceed with this
transaction despite the fact that you have continually refused to
honor my request for documentation pertaining to my rightful winnings.
Mr. Musa. I do not wish to delay this process any longer. Please send
your payment immediately so that I can proceed with your payment so
that you can proceed with my payment.

Dear Mr. Musa,
I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I just received your
email a few minutes ago.
I don't have a scanner here in my home but I can go to the school to
do it. It will only take about an hour or so. Then I will send you the
scan.
I'll get back to you in about one hour.
Respectfully,

I don't understand why Mr. Peter said the control number was no good.
It was valid at this end and I received my refund.
I did a new transfer yesterday but had to wait to get to work this
morning to scan the receipt. I hope I'm not too late.
The Western Union receipt is attached.

Dear Wanda L. Willing,
Mr.Pascal came back from the bank without the US$1,550.00 for the insurance
certificate he was told by the bank that the payment did not reflect.
I advise you to go to the bank where you paid the US$1,550.00 tell the
western union officials there to effect the payment so that the payment
will reflect here in the bank.
I expect your very urgent reply.

Dear Wanda L. Willing,
Why did you lie to me.
I hate lies.
Mr.Pascal went to the western union office and returned without the
US$1,550.00 he was told by the western union officials that the US$1,550.00
is not there that the payment sum of US$1,550.00 did not reflect.
You really surprised me after all i have done to make sure you
claim/receive your insured winning sum from Mr.David Bond and Mr.Mark
Simpson.
Other lottery winners that have so far claimed/received their various
insured winning sums paid for their insurance certificates they never lied
to me.
My secretary Mr.Peter is now in the hospital with a broken leg because of
you.
I have no other alternative now than to REVOKE/CANCEL your winning.
I will instruct Mr.David Bond and Mr.Mark Simpson not to meet with you and
to return back to Canada as soon as possible.
Your winning will be REVOKED/CANCELLED today.

Mr.John Musa.

Dear Mr. Mugu,
Time to come clean with each other.
First, here are some facts:
Your name is NOT John Musa. Nor is it David Bond or Mark Simpson.
There is no such lottery as the Vandaag Lotto. Therefore, there is no
$22,500,000.00 in prize money.
There probably are persons named Osuagwu.N.Peter and Pascal
Nkemakolam. Indeed, you are likely one of these persons.
You are sitting in an internet cafe reading this.
You didn't send me any phony documents to attempt to prop up your
silly scam because you could not afford to produce such phony
documents, nor could you afford to have them scanned or fax them to
me.
Osuagwu.N.Peter is walking just fine today.
Osuagwu.N.Peter was not in an auto accident. Osuagwu.N.Peter doesn't
even have the intelligence to operate an automobile, let alone the
money to afford one, otherwise, he wouldn't be involved in this
piss-poor attempt at a scam. This means that YOU might be
Osuagwu.N.Peter.
Both you and your mugu friend each made a trip to the bank,
embarrassing yourselves in your attempts to get money with phony Money
Transfer Control Numbers. Seems I was far more convincing than YOU
anal-dwelling mugus.
My last name isn't Willing. I don't even have a drivers license. I am
a Grade 8 student doing a class project on internet fraud. My
classmates think you are hilarious. So do I. I also expect to get a
really good grade on this project, thanks to you, Mr. Mugu.
Well, I guess I'd better let you go. I have to wrap this game up so
that I can print everything out. The project is due tomorrow. Looks
like we finished just in time.
Good-bye, Mr. Mugu. It's been real. Well....not really, has it (grin).
