Nigerian 419 scam. Phase 3
Here’s the email I sent in reply to our friend’s last letter
Dear Assalam
Thank you for your very quick response, and detailed email.
You say that the money is held in the UK. I am from England, and once my work is finished here in Thailand (in about 3 weeks) I shall be returning home, so this is good news. I believe that I can help you with your requests for the money.
If this is OK with you, I would like to disburse the money evenly to the following charities: Save the Children, Oxfam, Rejoice Urban Development Project, Child’s Dream.org, SOSchildren. All these charities have their own websites, so please feel free to have a look and let me know what you think.
I believe the ammount of 10% is too much, and I’m willing to take 5% for my effort in this and the rest can go to the aforementioned charities.
Can I ask what is the name of the security company holding the funds, and what the ammount will be to release the money?
I look forward to hearing back from you.
Warm regards

It took a few days for a reply this time. I think this was because we’ve now progressed a little beyond the template emails, or at least he’s had to make some changes to the original.
Dear sir,
Thanks for your mail. My confidence in you increases with every mail you send. I do not intend to give you any specific list of charities to give the money to. I am leaving that to your discretion. As long as the money touches as many lives as possible. I may not know the specific people that would eventually receive the aid and benefits, but I would be satisfied knowing that lives have been touched and changed through my assistance. It’s like feeding the birds; you do not need to know them or where they come from. you just derive pleasure knowing that you have provided food to living creatures who would be happier and better for it. that is the way life should be. this is my new approach to life and existence.
By way of further introduction, before my illness i was a successful business man running a private accounting firm that managed accounts for some major league players in the United Arab emirates oil economy and Africa and i invested greatly into commodity trading.my wife died two years ago in a car accident and i have no children of my own. It’s also nice to hear that you are having more fate in what i am saying to you. Lying on my sick bed sometimes i have realised that nothing is too uncertain to be true. Two years ago, if i had been told that i would find myself in this condition i would have doubted it. now it is for real and i have to cope with it. My illness has changed my approach to life and how things work. Ordinarily i could have gotten some big time attorney to handle this issue, but i wanted it to be random. there are a lot of random energy that make up life itself. Some call this fate and some call it destiny. the same factor brought me cancer and it is now bringing you a unique opportunity to be of service to mankind. that is the way it works.
most of my wealth and possession have already been given to various charities or plundered by my relatives. that deposit with the security company is the only possession i have left. that is why i really want it to be put to beneficial use. during this period of my illness, I have met a couple of people at random that are probably the best people i have ever met. that is why sending you that first email and getting your reply was a thrill to me.
From the pictures you can see that the disease has really eaten deep into me and it is very necessary that we try to conclude this matter as soon as possible. The most important thing now is for you to secure the release of the deposit so I am assured the money will not be put to waste.
In this regard, i will furnish you with the very important documents backing the legitimacy of this transaction, upon receipt of this documents in your possesion, you will see the contact name and number of the personnel in charge of the trunks in the security company.
Firstly you will call the official in charge in the company and firstly introduce yourself as my family representative, you will find out the status of the trunks in their storage and duly instruct them to ship the trunks to your direct location. Am sorry the funds are deposited in a storage facility in The Netherlands and not the U.K I made a typographic error.
Upon receipt of the trunks in your possesion, I shall make adequate arrangement with you on how we can disburse the funds to reputable charity organizations.
Like I rightfully informed you 10% of the total funds will be given to you for your great assistance, 10% has been set aside to settle all expenses incurred in the course of this project inclusive your phone bills.
I will want you to furnish me with;
1. your full names,
2. your full address and
3. your direct telephone and fax number so that i can send across to you the important paper works needed to proceed in this noble project of ours.
My warm regards goes to you and your family.
Best regards,
Alhassan Mohammed.
I stated in my last email that it was perfect the funds being in the UK as I would be there in a few weeks. Now they’re in the Netherlands (typographic error?). He failed to answer my question about how much it would cost to release the ten million.
I’m going to have to probe him a little more. I mean, that’s the sting - that’s how they scam you - so let’s just cut to the chase.
