My name is Michael Ramson, the director of the London stock exchange.
I was appointed by the formal Prime minister of the United Kingdom to manage the London stock exchange. However, since my assumption of office on February 20th 2001, the London stock exchange has witnessed a tremendous boost, this is one of the remarkable experiences in the United Kingdom financial market.
Due to my quest to sanitize the entire market, I decided to take a research to the previous records of investors, who invested huge sums of dollars in the London stock Market (LSM).
To my greatest amazement, there is one outstanding record of one (Mr. Andrew Paul), who invested $50 million dollars in 1985, the record show that this investor has made bonus and dividend of additional $25M, (twenty five million dollars), for the past 21 yrs.
In other to get the investor to claim his funds, I decided going through the contact information's of the investor, as was traced to his home Country (new Orleans in USA), However, after much investigations proved, that the investor may have died as a result of the hurricane disaster in the New Orleans, United State of America.
Now, after our just concluded board meeting on Monday 02/06/08, we reached an Agreement to transfer the $25M (Twenty five Million Dollars) dividend to you, as we can not claim the above funds, until a foreigner came acting as a next-of-kin to the late investor.
We have made plans to prepare authentic documents through the company Attorney, to back your claims, that whoever receives this fund ($25M), is a relative to the late investor.
Though, we must AGREED to share the funds thus, after it have been transferred into your country account.
50% to us as the originator of this transaction.
40% to you as the beneficiary of the funds, why
10% for any expenses that may incur as a result of the transfer.
If this offer is acceptable by you, please do not hastate to forward us your:
1) FULL NAME &
2) PHONE NUMBER
To this email address: (stockexchange1@post.ro)
If you have any question regarding this, kindly let us know, your opinion is highly welcome.
We anticipate your urgent response to this offer.

Despite the fact that I have no identification from you aside from your words, are you willing to trust me? After all, I could represent a legitimate business person, or, I don't know, be some fraudulent rabbinical son of a bitch leading a congregation who loves eating Israeli peanut-flavoured snacks.
I would also think that someone from the stock exchange would have an email address identifying them as such, rather than running from a Yahoo account in Spain. You may argue that it's a personal account, but you wouldn't have to send this proposition from a personal account if this indeed was legal, which you haven't yet convinced me of.
As it happens, though, I'm flying into London on business shortly. What do you say we meet in person?

Thanks so much for your email.
Attached is my personal passport, but it is very unfortunate that you have NOT presented any of the requested information's. How do you want us to establish a business relationship?
(just once, could some scammer send me a Photoshopped passport that looks realistic?)
I also observed that you are a business personal, whom should aware of a legal means of a legitimate transaction, despite internet.In the UK, we send email from the Stock Exchange to our client directly through Yahoo.co.uk, or yahoo.es, because it is easily delivered, this company have been existing since 17th century, and I don't think you should change the lay down principles of the Organization..
Like I had earlier said, we gave this opportunity for you to increase your investment legally, but your lack of TRUST, has created too much interrogations and unbelief.
Though, your coming to London, it makes no meaning IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANY EVIDENCE to prove your personality to us. Because you have not provided any of the requested information's, despite the fact that your name was submitted and was approved. But that was not enough reasons to prove you willingness.
Finally, if you are ready to have this transaction proceeds; kindly get back with the requested information's.
Thanks and have a nice day.

Far be it from me to suggest that sending official Stock Exchange email from a Stock Exchange domain is good business. I've never worked at the Stock Exchange, but you must be on to something. Most of the top 500 companies in the US are moving away from their own individual domains to use free email providers, because they're free. I do know that official email from Microsoft headquarters is only sent on Hotmail, for example. I seem to as well be getting a lot of email from Fedex on Gmail. I suppose it makes good business sense; I hadn't really thought about it before. I'm lucky I found you to show me the way! Your personal passport has convinced me that you are a business personal like me, so I shall henceforth refrain from interrogations and unbelief.
Notwithstanding, I wouldn't want to withhold any information's from you, as a business personal, because as you say I'm aware of a legal means of a legitimate transaction, despite internet and all. Here goes:
Full Name: Dr. Rabbi Benyamin Dov Baer Shneur Zalman Zona

Phone: xx xxxxxxx
Age: 57
Occupation: Spiritual leader
(OK, this is just plain immature of me. The phone number belongs to someone who wronged me some years ago, and I swore I'd get him back. He doesn't speak much English, but I'm sure he'd understand a Nigerian-accented "Ben Zona" said loudly. Here's payback, Ben Zona style.)
It's a bit hard to reach me by phone. If you must call, because of the kids, you must call late at night, at least after 11pm. My parents are staying with me while their house is being renovated. If they answer the phone, they're a bit deaf, so you must scream "BEN ZONA" into the phone. They should pass it on to me..You never did answer me - where did you achieve your tertiary education?

Well, let's see, a courier that costs 175 GBP or an email that costs nothing. I choose the latter, and it's no doubt easier and accessible than a courier.
If there's one thing I hate is paying up front. Glad there won't be any advance fees in these modalities.
I have full confidence in your abilities Mr. Ramsey, despite the slight discrepancy in surname and return address, as your utter PROFESSIONALISM and INTELLECT is refreshing.
Please have your attorney contact my attorney, Barrister Owata Dikedjua, at xxxxxxxxx@xxxxx.xxx . This is my barrister's personal address because I told him of the CONFIDENTIALITY of the matter and didn't want his secretaries dealing with such private modalities. He does cost a lot of money, but well worth it.

Sorry, there have been some delays from the Attorney, regarding the completion of the documents, I waited till about 6.30 pm to get the documents from the Attorney, as I had earlier assured to get the documents across to you, also to avoid wasting time.
Below is the Documents, Kindly append your signature on the DEED Of AGREEMENT, and return a copy for my records.
As soon as I hear from you I will forward you the contact information of the bank for you to contact them immediately for your funds transfer.
Note: We don't have all the time contacting your Attorney, when already our company Attorney has completed the documents, WHAT IS YOUR ATTORNEY INVOLVEMENT IN THIS TRANSACTION?
Is your Attorney going to invest the funds for you? Or why should a company Attorney contact your personal attorney, without you having any relationship with our company attorney.
I urgently wait your email.

I have written back to your Barrister, as I do not have any reasons to have any conversation with a Lawyer from probably Africa or Nigeria.
Well, you seem to be delaying this transaction, if you are not willing to have the funds transfer to your account, please let me know. That Lawyer seen to me likes one of this Scam Lawyers from Africa.
Therefore we are ready to do away with you, if you insist in dealing with such individual as your Lawyer, because we are company that represent a global Financial Market of the World, so, you have to deal with the right people NOT people from Nigeria or Africa Scam list.
You better think straight; The management has demanded a scan copy of your ID card**, and your Lawyer phone numbers and address, we have to investigate such individual claiming to be a legal pratitional

THIS IS URGENT NEWS, WHICH YOU MUST ADHERE TO IMMEDIATELY
THE DELAY IN THE COURT OVER THE DOCUMENTS, WAS AS A RESULT OF OUR REPRESENTATIVE CHAMBER IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. WE ARE REQUIRED TO SETTLE THEM WITH 500 POUNDS, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO DO THAT, DUE TO THE EXPENSES WE INCURRED IN THE CAUSE OF YOUR DOCUMENTS.
I DON'T WANT ANY MORE DELAYS IN THIS TRANSACTION, THEREFORE I WANT YOU TO GO AHEAD AND SEND 500 GBP TO UNITED KINGDOM IMMEDIATELY.
SEND THE MONEY THROUGH WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER TO (GRAHAM JONES) NOTE, THE 500 POUNDS IS EQUAVALENT OF $1000 USD.
DO NOT DELAY IN DOING THIS SO THAT YOUR DOCUMENT COULD BE RELEASED WITHOUT DELAYS, AS THEY HAVE TO GIVE APPROVAL BEFORE THE DOCUMENTS COULD BE RELEASE FROM THE COURT.

Dear Owata,Why did you change your email address?
Thanks for your message. All the same, Mr. Ramsey seems at the very least a disrespectful person. You know how I can't trust disrespectful people. I would call him a few more choice words but in my rabbinical capacity it would be against my religion, literally and figuratively. It doesn't seem becoming of a man of his position to be so unprofessional.
I might just forget the whole deal and keep our other deal going with Chukyu Farley. I understand the modalities are nearly complete and you're hurrying along with the documents. Good work, keep it up. I'd hate to see our investment go to waste after all these weeks. I know I've already paid you close to $25,000, but it's for a good cause, and Congregation Ohavei Bamba has raised so much for its snack food budget they won't notice the other few thousand gone missing that you just received.
When do we see you again? Chaya Mushka and the kids are all asking about when Uncle Owata from Africa is coming back.

I received strange calls from people especially this Michael, and he doesn't allow me to sleep, so I want to change my phone numbers too, therefore, I will prefers all our communications through this email: (xxxxxxxxxx9@xxxxx.xxx.xx), I might just forget the whole deal and keep our other deal going with Chukyu Farley. I understand the modalities are nearly complete and you're hurrying along with the documents. Good work, keep it up. I'd hate to see our investment go to waste after all these weeks. I know I've already paid you close to $25,000, but it's for a good cause, and Congregation Ohavei Bamba has raised so much for its snack food budget they won't notice the other few thousand gone missing that you just received. When do we see you again? Chaya Mushka and the kids are all asking about when Uncle Owata from Africa is coming back. Sincerely, Dr. Rabbi Ben Zona Congregation Ohavei Bamba[... this is a copy of Ben Zona's previous e-mail, with Ladspeak slathered on top... apparently they don't have paragraphs where this Lad comes from ... ]

My name is Michael Ramson, the director of the London stock exchange.
I was appointed by the formal Prime minister of the United Kingdom to manage the London stock exchange. However, since my assumption of office on February 20th 2001, the London stock exchange has witnessed a tremendous boost, this is one of the remarkable experiences in the United Kingdom financial market.
Due to my quest to sanitize the entire market, I decided to take a research to the previous records of investors, who invested huge sums of dollars in the London stock Market (LSM).
To my greatest amazement, there is one outstanding record of one (Mr. Andrew Paul), who invested $50 million dollars in 1985, the record show that this investor has made bonus and dividend of additional $25M, (twenty five million dollars), for the past 21 yrs.
In other to get the investor to claim his funds, I decided going through the contact information's of the investor, as was traced to his home Country (new Orleans in USA), However, after much investigations proved, that the investor may have died as a result of the hurricane disaster in the New Orleans, United State of America.
Now, after our just concluded board meeting on Monday 02/06/08, we reached an Agreement to transfer the $25M (Twenty five Million Dollars) dividend to you, as we can not claim the above funds, until a foreigner came acting as a next-of-kin to the late investor.
We have made plans to prepare authentic documents through the company Attorney, to back your claims, that whoever receives this fund ($25M), is a relative to the late investor.
Though, we must AGREED to share the funds thus, after it have been transferred into your country account.
50% to us as the originator of this transaction.
40% to you as the beneficiary of the funds, why
10% for any expenses that may incur as a result of the transfer.
If this offer is acceptable by you, please do not hastate to forward us your:
1) FULL NAME &
2) PHONE NUMBER
To this email address: (stockexchange1@post.ro)
If you have any question regarding this, kindly let us know, your opinion is highly welcome.
We anticipate your urgent response to this offer.

I appreciate the sentiment, and nice to see you're a little more obsequious than in your last message. For the record I don't trust anyone's capabilities until they actually prove they're capable of something.
Now then, I have other business to attend at present, but I will get you the signed Deed of Agreement shortly. I don't anticipate any extra fees along the way - am I correct in this presumption? As I said in a previous email, I don't like paying up front. Owata has been very good to me thus far about sending me $50 as a show of good faith before I send him any money, every time. I know that since the money is there I'm free to send him his oftentimes outrageous fees. I just sent him another $500, and he doesn't know it yet, but I've arranged another first-class ticket to Israel for him to discuss another business opportunity that has come my way.
Looking at the documents, you're telling me that Kenneth Lay is the dead customer? I didn't realise he was from New Orleans.

How are you even aware that I am sending money to my partners? I fail to see how other business matters I am involved with impinge on any modalities at present. My other business dealings are quite frankly none of your business. Any lawyer that I engage is likewise none of your business.
>> Anyway we advice that you stop further communication as the government now is in charge of yourpayment and has granted us the power to do so.
I'm unable to respond to this because I just don't know what this means. If the government is in charge of my payment, let the government contact me.
Which government are you referring to? If it's the British government, why would I have to travel to New York for an Anti-Terrorism Clearance Certificate? For that matter, what *is* an Anti-Terrorism Clearance Certificate?

Obviously, I am disappointed in you. The last time I sent you an email, I called you and you were not hearing me very I tried to explain thing to you but you banged the phone on me, I am not happy with you. (Woohoo! Vengeance is mine! Hope he called after 11pm.)
Like I told you on first email, your name and email address was forwarded to me by the British debt settlement scheme which they requested that you did not pay the Ant-Terrorism Clearance. You should know that the Anti-Terrorism Clearance is to certify that you are not a terrorist and your fund would not be used for terrorism.
It is the Head office of the Homeland security of the United States that is in charge of clearance certificate and that is why i asked you to go over but if you can not travel to the United states, you can send the money to us here in London Mrs. Angela Owen will clear your transaction as she is in charge of logistics and human resources.
I will advise that you stop harassing me and comply to enable us transfer your fund into your account. I am only working with orders from my superior so do not see me as your enemy.

Before I even broach the topic of the anti-terrorism certificate, let's get a couple of things straight:
1. "Stop harassing me" would imply that I am either constantly physically provoking you, which is impossible as we haven't had the pleasure of meeting; or I am persecuting you in some way. It is you that has sent me an unsolicited email, and it is you that has made an unsolicited phone call. I would say you, sir, are the one doing the harassment.
2. If you had bothered asking at all the etiquette in which to phone my house, I would have told you that there is not much point phoning during the day, as you would have reached either one of my 17 children still living with us, or my elderly parents. I would suggest you try very late at night, perhaps after 11pm. My parents not only do not speak English, but are also slightly deaf; if you were to yell "Ben Zona" into the phone they would know what to do with them. In any respect my parents had not passed any message an ostensibly distinguished man with presumably a British accent had telephoned.
I would suggest that if you want to continue dealing with me, have a few manners and a lot more respect.
By the way, in your circles have you ever come across a Michael Ramsey at the London Stock Exchange? You remind me of him in quite a lot of ways.

To be very honest to you, I do not understand why we are on this very long argument which will lead to no where. I will apologize in I have in anyway wronged you but I know I have not. For this case I want you to know and understand that I am a very principled man and I do straight what I promise you I can do as a person.
If you would want me to assist you conclude this transaction and you have your fund credited into your nominated bank account, I will suggest that we stop over the argument and get straight into the business. The Anti-Terrorism as the Homeland security of the United States has demanded is the only hitch to your fund clearance so please clear this to enable me transfer your fund as it is my work to do.
I am given you this assurance, The fund will only last for 24hours immediately you clear the Anti-terrorism to get into your account mark my word. I have to let you know that this is the only thing left for you to do.
Lastly, I do not work stock market shows as I am a very busy man so I do not know the said person you have made mentioned off. Call me so that we can talk.

I agree; I have no need of arguments. I'm fortunately blessed with a large family of 28 children, and believe me I've had my share of arguments. Just this morning I had to separate the twins fighting over some old handbag they had. Hodl Zissel wanted to prepare it for play and Pesha Shterna wanted to be the last to touch it. Imagine all morning I heard screaming back and forth:
"Taister greatn!" "Letzt tzu filn!" "Taister greatn!" "Letzt tzu filn!"
I needed a Miller's Lite to calm down..
Mr. Bolton, I've been all around this great big world and I've never heard of an Anti-Terrorism Certificate. If I understand you correctly, whenever any bank account is to be credited in the world, it must first be cleared by the US? Let's say for argument's sake my bank account is in Venezuela, or Iran, or Sudan, or Syria. I would still need a US Certificate prove the money isn't being used for terrorism?

If you tell me that you have not heard I might believe you but it does exist and I will never tell you a lie because I am a repented Christine so it does exist and this is the case of your fund not been remitted into your account?
I will ask you one question and I please want you to answer my question. How many International Wire Transfer you have had within this year that came successfully without the Anti-Terrorism clearance Certificate? If you have, then you will know that I am a liar but in the event you have not, then know this is true.
My dear brother, please do not think that I am trying to deceive you because I have no intension for that I m only doing my job. Believe if you pay the ant-terrorism under 24hours you will have your fund transferred into your account.

No doubt as the Director of Foreign Operations in a major UK bank you would likely have a fine grasp of the English language, and no doubt you will have come across the term "non-sequitur". In case you haven't, a non-sequitur is basically when you make a conclusion that doesn't logically follow from the premise. Sort of like you're doing here.
You make the premise that there is such a thing as an Anti-Terrorism Certificate, based on the facts that (a) you are a repented Christine and that (b) wire transfers require such a certificate to go through.
We can knock (a) on the head right away. I can tell you using the same argument that the moon is made from halvah because you are a repented Christine. See where I'm coming from?
Let's knock (b) on the head too. I couldn't have possibly received an international wire transfer without an Anti-Terrorism Certificate because I don't receive international wire transfers at all. I still don't see the difference in this, because surely you weren't planning to get me my $5 million by international wire transfer, unless I've misunderstood something.

Thank you for contacting me.
Living in Israel, I never underestimate the need for security. As you know, we are faced with security issues on a daily basis, and realise the importance of the Department of Homeland Security. However, I'm a bit confused as to why the Department of Homeland Security would be involved, let alone why the US has a divisional office in London. Certainly the English have their own security divisions? As far as I know, as the US really isn't involved in any part of this transaction, why a federal US department is middling in these modalities. Can you please shed some light on this?

How are you today and the troubles living in Israel?
I am very happy that you asked me a question I some conscious and curious client's as it will make you to understand vividly the importance and needs of what you are supposed to do before you do it.
Your fund wire transfer came from the JP Morgan Chase Bank New York after is approval to the Standard Chartered Bank for further credit to your nominated bank account in Israel and the collaboration of the Homeland Security and the British Government is in prevention of crimes and terrorism which you are much aware off. Over years now the British Government and the US Government as been in collaboration in poverty alleviation program bringing, the fight against biological cum nuclear weapons in the United Nations.
The hand to hand work of the British Government and our government has brought this security body the Inter Pool, the Scotland Yard the US Homeland Security FBI/CIA which strengthens the power of security and this advanced system.
I have been in this office since February last year and I have had many cases of this. I have look at the attached copy of a fake certificate given to of the client I had. So I am very sorry that Mr. Hilary Bolton never explained this much to you but it is my job. The certificate will cost you $1200. On request, it will take 3days to return to Britain if I send a telegram to our head office and I will use 3days to send it over to you by the Fedex Express or the DHL.
Sir, on payment of this legal charge, you will have your money within 24hours. Make your payment on my name either by Western Union or MoneyGram I will signed the transfer papers for the Standard Chartered Bank and they will transfer your fund before even you receive the certificate what they need is my signature to endorse your payment.
Here is your payment details:

I detect from your flowing prose that you're an erudite woman, but very busy in her job, and at times careless with your messages due to your commitments. You possess a doctorate - I'm assuming you're not a medical person - and you hold a high position in Homeland Security. I probably am correct to surmise that academically, you're been around the block, so to speak.
Your message, though, reminds me slightly of a Talmudic work. Bravo to you, Dr. Mrs. Owen. Have you ever heard of, or read the Talmud?
Paradoxically, it is both a living document and a historical archive, containing all the history behind and precedents outlining how my people ethically and morally live their daily lives. As a religious lay leader, the Talmud is my lifeblood. Reading the Talmud takes years of study and hard work. The language is a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic, and usually the text is not written in complete sentences or in the common grammatical parlance of Babylonia, so at times seems a little bit incomprehensible to an outsider.
Let me give you an example. It was normally forbidden in ancient times to light a fire in the Temple immediately before the Sabbath, because it might incite others to stoke the flames, which is a transgression, except under certain conditions, depending on how much of the fire was lit. On this note, the text from Tractate Shabbat p. 20a translates as: "...A single wood. Rav said: Most of its thickness. And some report it to most of its circumference. Rav Pappa said: Therefore we need most of its thickness and we need most of its circumference."
What does this really mean? "Regarding a single, thick piece of wood, Rav said: The fire must penetrate most of its thickness before the Sabbath in order for us not to commit a transgression. And some report Rav's view as being: The fire must catch on to most of its outer circumference. Rav Pappa said: Therefore, since it is unclear which "most" is needed, we need that the fire penetrate most of its thickness and we need that it should catch on to most of its circumference before the Sabbath in order to avoid a transgression."
So from years of reading Talmud, I've gotten quite good at interpreting the cryptic. Sorting the wheat from the chaff in your message though has me a little stumped. Every sentence, in fact, has some mystical undertone. I'm fascinated, more than anything. Allow me to attempt an exegesis of your missive. Please correct any mistakes in my interpretation.
"I am very happy that you asked me a question" - Something good has happened in your life. A new child, perhaps? A promotion? Unseasonably beautiful weather? Found $50 at the side of the road?
"I some conscious and curious client's" - Indeed unless you were a hypnotherapist, I would gainly suspect most of your clients should be conscious. I'll grant you the missing verb, as busy people don't have time for verbs. I oftentimes forget direct objects in my sentences, leaving the reader very. "Client's" though is an odd choice of words; Civil servants from America and the UK generally don't refer to citizens as "clients". Your background is either in finance, or you're not native to the US. Am I right?
"as it will make you to understand vividly the importance and needs of what you are supposed to do before you do it" - Do most of your "client's" do things without understanding what they do? I pity the state of anyone doing a wire transfer anywhere in the world.
"Your fund wire transfer came from the JP Morgan Chase Bank New York after is approval to the Standard Chartered Bank for further credit to your nominated bank account in Israel" - although that ninny Bolton suggested the fund comes from the Bank of Africa
"and the collaboration of the Homeland Security and the British Government is in prevention of crimes and terrorism which you are much aware off" - In fact I'm not aware off [sic] US Homeland Security operating in the UK openly. I understand the two governments working in international collaboration, but still did not realise that the US opened up a divisional office in the UK. Where is it located? How long has it been there? Who is in charge?
"Over years now the British Government and the US Government as been in collaboration in poverty alleviation program" - What have been the results of this collaboration? Where is the poverty being alleviated? In the UK or the US? And why is there a need for collaboration? Surely the US needs no help from the UK in domestic issues?
"bringing the fight against biological cum nuclear weapons in the United Nations." - I've always had a sneaking suspicion why the UN has been so anti-Israel over the past 60 years. I didn't realise it was because of the biological cum nuclear weapons stashed there! Israel must have cottoned on early. Where are the weapons? UN headquarters in New York?
"The hand to hand work of the British Government and our government hasbrought this security body the Inter Pool" - no doubt leaving them drowning in paperwork (nyuk nyuk)
"the Scotland Yard the US Homeland Security FBI/CIA which strengthens the power of security and thisadvanced system" - of what exactly? Alleviating poverty? Fighting the nuclear weapons stored in the Secretariat Building?
"I have been in this office since February last year and I have had many cases of this." - I know, with all my student's, all the consciou's and curiou's question's get to me sometime's as well.
"I have look at the attached copy of a fake certificate given to of the client I had." - By this you no doubt mean that the time and effort I spent to secure a fund that is rightfully mine is predicated on a bogus certificate. This leaves me mildly annoyed.
"So I am very sorry that Mr. Hilary Bolton never explained this much to you but it is my job." - viz., to not explain it to me either.
"The certificate will cost you $1200." - A full sentence, grammatically and contextually correct. I knew you could do it! I see though you've lowered Mr. Bolton's price $50. He should be reported, as no doubt he was looking to profiteer. I always suspected him.
Understand Dr. Mrs. Owen, that I am no closer to gleaning why exactly an Anti-Terrorism Certificate is needed.

DEAR RABBI BEN,
TOP OF THE DAY TO YOU. HOW IS (chaya mushka) AND YOUR WONDERFUL FAMILY? HOPE FINE.
MY SECRETARY HAS INFORMED ME THAT HE HAS RECIEVED YOUR $2,500..00 (two thousand five hundred dollars) WITH MUCH THANKS. AND I ALSO HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. THE DOCUMENTS HAVE CLEARED THE COURTS I HAVE BEEN THERE ALL MORNING SORTING THIS OUT FOR YOU OK. THE WIRE TRANSFER CAN NOW HAPPEN IT'S BEEN ALONG TIME OK.
THE DIRECTOR OF FOREIGN OPERATIONS AT THE BANK WILL BE IN TOUCH WITH YOU SHORTLY TO WIRE YOU THE MONEY HE WILL SEND YOU AN EMAIL OK.
I THINK HILARY BOLTON AND ANGELA OWEN ARE BOTH SCARMERS. YOU MUST BE CAREFUL LIKE I SAY WITH DEALING FROM PEOPLE FROM THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD A LOT OF AFRICANS ARE POOR AND GOOD PEOPLE BUT THERE ARE SOME SCARMERS WHO TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF GOOD PEOPLE LIKE YOURSELF OK. YOU KNOW IT IS AGAINST MY RELIGION AS A GOOD CHRISTIAN TO EVER SCARM ANYONE OR HURT ANY ONE.
I HAVEN'T HEARD FROM YOU FOR A VERY LONG TIME AND AM GOING TO MAIL YOUR ACCOUNT AND YOUR OLD ACCOUNT MAYBE THERE IS A SECURITY PROBLEM OK. I DON'T KNOW IF YOUR MESSAGES ARE GETTING TO ME I THINK THERE IS SOMEONE MESSING UP THE EMAIL ACCOUNT OK.

At long last! I haven't heard from you for so long. I think you've got your email addresses mixed up; this is my email address. And I also note that you're writing me from your original email address. I don't understand what had happened. And don't worry - I trust you implicitly, and I know you'll never try to rip me off. I feel so close to you, especially after your visit with us in Israel. Sometimes I feel even though we live miles away that we are indeed the same person.
In any event, I do know that we're looking at a pretty big payout here, so the $2,500 was well worth it.
Why do you say Angela Owen and Hilary Bolton are both scammers? Her email address says she's from Homeland Security. Then again she still hasn't fully explained why she needs an Anti-Terrorism Certificate nor why the US Government is involved.
Angela and Hilary, kindly explain yourselves.
Looking forward to hearing from the Director of Foreign Operations.

Well, if it isn't Michael Ramsey Mr.! I'd recognize that subject line anywhere.
Can you remind me where we were at with my funds and what these modalities were all about? It's been so long. I also recall my "barrister" Owata Dikedjua was involved as well, though I fear he may have made off with quite a bit of my money. I have paid him in upward of $50,000 but am still waiting on my big payout. Apparently I'm a little more gullible than I once thought.
I'll make it quite simple. I'm an old man, successful in life, learned of the intricacies of the Talmud, and with a lot of funds already at my disposal. What kind of funds are we talking about here?
Sincerely,
Dr. Rabbi Ben Zona
Congregation Ohavei Bamba
Sep 22, 2009
Thanks for your respond,
If you must know, your funds is still in our custody here in the London stock exchange.
Your Lawyer has made away with your $50,000 usd without any achievement what kind of business is that?
How could a sincere Lawyer made away with $50,000 without any accomplishment.
Well, be informed that your US$25 Million is still waiting for you in our custody, i know your lawyer will always block you from having the funds, as he doesn't want you to venture into any other business accept his, so that he can continue taking more money out of your hands.
However, your funds will be remitted to you through our diplomatic channels, ONLY you will have to pay for the delivering services.
Like i said last 2 years, if you want this money without any hinderance, you have to keep this away from your so-called Oweta (Lawyer) because we have found out that he is not sincere with you or anyone else that has a dealings with you.
Therefore, we shall be hearing from you if TRULY you want this pending transaction concluded as soon as possible, because the Diplomat will commence on the trip to Israel immediately the delivering fee is forwarded.
Thanks as we anticipate hearing from you.

Dear Mr. Ramsey,
It's funny. I don't know where it all fell apart. Barrister Dikedjua even came and visited me. Stayed in my home. He brought his brother because he had never been to Israel before. I took him everywhere, bought him nice meals, presents... But oh, how gullible I was! I will never make such a mistake again.
It is you I should have listened to all along. I learned from you that the London Stock Exchange strictly uses Yahoo addresses. I learned from you that no funds is waste when it is souled in the house of g-d.
I will write to Owata once and for all that it's all over between us.

Please do not bother me again. You are no longer in my employ. I have waited long enough for my money to come through, but my patience has come to an end. I will go off and find another Nigerian barrister to complete these modalities.

Subject: Please keep this transaction secret until the consignment get in your hands.
Mr. Ben Zona,
It will be nice if he can return your money to you, of course, He visited you for you to trust him, similar thing happened here in UK, where a particular client visited one of our staff, after one week of staying together, he made away with 30,000 Pounds,in the name of documents, till now no money has been received and the visitor has also disappeared forever.
Like i said earlier, if you can keep this away from Him, i will assure you that your fund will get to your home as a consignment without wasting any time. Because if he knows he will not allow you to have anything doing with any other person apart from himself.
I know you will definitely compensate me after your funds is get to you?
However, let me know if you want the diplomats to commence delivering of your consignment to Israel immediately, it will only cost you delivering fee $3,500 usd, which you must pay part ($1,500 usd), before they will move to Israel, then, when you see your consignment you pay the balance of $2,000 usd..
Please keep this transaction secret until your consignment get to your hands. I will also forward you the secret code of your consignment, which only you and i know, the diplomat did not know of the code, they will only deliver your consignment to your home address.
I wait your email.

Mr. Ben Zona,
I have already told you that your so-called Lawyer will always look for a means of blocking you from any other business opportunity except his.
I got the email He sent to you claiming that am a scammer and my name is tony wike, from nigeria, well as a matter of fact, am right here in the UK, am not a Nigerian, i work with the London stock exchange. Honestly that your Lawyer must be a big lier. He only look for something to tell you for you to keep believing in him and sending more money to him, a lawyer who has collected over $50,000 from someone without any concrete achievement.what a big thief he is, a nigerian 419. they always claim to be right, until they kill you.
Well, am suggesting you go ahead and send the money so that the Diplomat will deliver your funds to your address, that will also prove to you that am NOT a lier, but He is. your consignment is ready, just go ahead and send the $1,500 part of delivering fee to me, and after you receive your consignment you pay the balance of $2,000 usd.
Send through western union money transfer (Mr. Michael Ramsey, London United Kingdom).
forward me the payment information immediately, so that i will personally pick up the money and pay directly to the diplomatic department for immediate delivering of your consignment to your home address.
Also forward me your new home address and phone numbers.
Please keep this transaction secret until you receive your consignment, because i don't want your so-called Nigeria Lawyer to spoil your mind again.
I wait your email.Mr. Michael Ramsey.

Owata,
Acknowledging your phone call late last night. My parents gave me the message this morning, but you have to scream louder into the phone next time; remember that they're both quite deaf.
Of course I want the money that's owing to me. Who is Tony Wike? I remember all those anti-terrorism certificates. There was some scammer named Hilary Bolton or something wanting me to pay for one from the foreign branch of the CIA or something - I think you're getting your people confused. Michael Ramsey has never asked me for anything, although it is funny that he's all of a sudden come out of the proverbial woodwork. I'm sure he has a good explanation, even though he hasn't given me one yet. I'm not sure whether the money he's asking me for is for a new transaction or for the old one. It's been so long I can't even remember.
But you're off the case anyway. I'm out over $50,000 to you and what do I have to show for it? It's funny you should say that the ball is in my court when it's quite squarely in yours. What say you?

Well, i am still waiting to final this pending transaction with you, kindly hurry so that the Diplomat will commence the journey to Israel immediately after we confirm the receipt of the part payment, delivering fee ($1,500 usd), this is our method of delivering funds to our international clients due to little challenges we had lately with the barclays bank UK, our management decided lately to deliver all funds through diplomatic means.
Please endeavor to expedite the sending of the money so that your consignment will be in your home latest Thursday this week.

to answer your question, we don't change email address, we have this emails already and we can reach our client on any of the emails.
Also, i have seem that your so-called Lawyer is still holding you tight, however, it apears you are dancing to his., but, i will advise you to stop sending money to him, because you can never get any money in return, he will continue deceving and deciving you till you sell your property to get him money.
By the way, who and who is requesting for anti-terrorism certificate? because my company has never requested any document from you. (why, it's I and I, of course)
so i need an explanation to this question.
Thanx as i wait your email.
I have always advise you to keep this transaction away from him till you receive your consignment, but it look as though you can not do without him.
i wait your email. Mr. Michael.

Mr. Michael - wasn't it Mickey? Can I go back to calling you Mickey? It just seems that I can't stop taking it, so it would seem appropriate.
If you don't change email addresses, the other one wouldn't have suddenly stopped receiving mail.
I'm not sure what an anti-terrorism certificate is. There was a couple last year, a certain Angela Owen and Hilary Bolton who tried to get me to pay for one. I don't know what happened with them in the end - they just stopped writing. Never even bothered explaining to me what one was or what it looked like. It's coming back to me now: this person who was posing as Angela (could have been the same person pretending to be Hilary) tried to tell me that she worked for the London branch of US Homeland Security. Her English was terrible and she didn't really have a clue about anything. One of the dumbest people to write me for a long time, I remember correctly.
What's the weather like in London these days?
