Dear reader, in plain English, this means that "Martins Williams" (not his real name) is pretending to have skimmed (imaginary) public funds, which he wants you to help him embezzle. If this is not clear, please read (or re-read) the main page and its various cautionary links.
And now on with our regularly scheduled scambait.

Could you please notify me of your acceptance to carry out this transaction urgently by e-mail only on the receipt of this message.
Kindly, acknowledge the receipt of this letter by sending to me by email a copy of this letter with your private Tel. And Fax number.
I shall in turn inform you of the modalities for a formal application to secure the necessary approvals for the immediate release of this fund into your account.

Modalities = you sending a money order to pay for (imaginary) bureaucratic fees or (imaginary) lawyers' fees to take care of paperwork for you.

Thanks for your co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Martins Willams

Dear Dr. Williams,

Thank you for your note.

I have passed it on to Her Majesty Princess Candice Mercedes Windsor, and she has asked me to tell you that she is interested in your little plan.

However, we have only just met, as it were. You must prove that you are not just a ruffian on the make, to use the vernacular.

Have you any documentary evidence to support your claims? They seem - forgive me - rather outlandish and not all together legal to me.

Dear Dr. Williams,

Thank you for your note.

Whilst we are interested in taking matters further, I must insist that you sign a temporary Oath of Allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.

The Special Operations Department of Her Majesty's Foreign and Commonwealth Office handles all matters relating to the UK's national interest both at home and abroad.

Therefore, security and discretion are paramount. In any case, I wish to see that you get exactly what you deserve and swearing an Oath, which will prove your genuine intentions (though I have an idea what these are) and commitment to this cause.

Are you prepared to do this?


MARTINS WILLIAMS

Dear Mrs Agatha Bristol,

I receive your mail all contents well noted with thanks.

First,let me refer you back once again to my first ever mail which is the proposal i sent you regarding this contract which was awarded to my ministry two years ago.

Please note that i am a man of age of 51yrs old,with my wife and 5 children,i will not want you to jeopardise me hence i will always be straight with you regarding concluding this business ok.

Secondly regarding your mail that i will swaer an oath before you now believe what i am saying,i think it wil be more better we sign aggrement stating that we have agree to work together regarding concluding this business together,as myself have my partners down here and we are still in active service which will give up our job upon conclussion of this business with,so if you really want to work with us i think we both has to be straight to each other otherwise we can not get what we want.

Her majesty as you do say,is she the one i'm directing all this mails to or to some other person?.please i demand you give me your telephone numbers for me to give you a call immediately today.

Waiting for your urgent reply.

Regards,
Dr Martins Williams.

Dear Dr. Martins,

Thank you for your note.

Please address me as Lady Agatha. My marital status is not your concern.

Whilst I appreciate your thoughts regarding the Oath of Allegiance, I must remind you that you approached us with this rather unorthodox approach.

You are potentially dealing with the Royal Family, Dr. Williams. Discrection and confidentiality are assured. But we must insist on the Oath of Allegiance.

Please do reply as soon as possible.

Yours ever,

Lady Agatha Bristol, CBE
Head of Special Operations, Foreign Office, London


MARTINS WILLIAMS

Dear Lady Agatha Bristol,

I am in receipt of your mail and will let you know that by monday the Oath aggreement will be send to you accordingly.

Please i will once again let you know that it is very important you do not decieve me hence i will not want any mistake in this business ok.

Waiting to hear from you.Have a nice weekend.

Regards,
Dr Martins Williams.

Lady Agatha Bristol, CBE
Head of Special Operations, Foreign Office, London


MARTINS WILLIAMS

Dear Lady Agatha Bristol,

Sorry that you have not heard from me.

Dr Martins Williams.


LADY AGATHA BRISTOL

Date: 03 Sep 2004, 01:46:05 AM

My dear Dr. Martins,

Thank you for your e-mail.

Your little attachment was most endearing, but whilst it outlines our agreement in princple it does not offer any type of reassurance to us.

You simply must sign a temporary Oath of Allegiance as I advised you before, old chap.

Are you prepared to do this? I have to tell you that Chief Um Bongo is ready to sign.

Please advise me as soon as possible.

Yours ever,
Lady Agatha Bristol, CBE
Head of Special Operations, Foreign Office, London


MARTINS WILLIAMS

Dear Lady Agatha Bristol,

I receive your mail and thank you for the reply.

I am worried that after sending you the memorandum of understaing that you are still not ok with it,i don't what you want me to do my sister hence i told you earlier that i am a man of age and will not want anything to jeopardise this business.

I will suggest you give me your telephone number so that i will call you from here immediately for us to talk on phone for better understanding.

Regards,
Dr Martins Williams.


LADY AGATHA BRISTOL

Dear Dr. Williams,

Thank you for your note.

Earlier in our correspondence, I gave you the instructions for taking a Temporary Oath of Allegiance.

I shall do so again here:

Type out the following text, sign it and include your photograph. E-mail the document to me.

'I, Dr. Martins Williams, being of sound mind, on this day.......<enter date>.......do by humble merkin swear total allegiance to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II in all fey twiglets appertaining to Her Right Royal Business'

Do hurry up, old chap. Mr Abacha called me this morning with a remarkably similiar scheme to your own.

And please don't refer to me as your sister - let us keep this professional, please.

Yours ever,

Lady Agatha Bristol, CBE
Head of Special Operations, Foreign Office, London

This scambait did not result in another Signed Oath, but the Foreign Office have obtained nearly enough Oaths to cover all the cracks in the paint on the Trophy Wall by now, and no doubt more will be forthcoming.
