ATTN:Roger Biggs

I am Mr.Michael Bangura ,the personal Secretary to Mr.David Biggs, a national of your country, who used to work with shell development company in Nigeria. On the 21st of April 2000, Mr David, his wife and their only child were involved in a car accident along Lagos- Ibadan express Road and all of them died .

Since then I have made several enquiries to locate any of his extended relatives this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts, I decided to contacted you to assist in repatriating the money and property left behind by Mr.David before the security company where he deposited the money could confiscate or declare it unserviceable.

Particularly, the security company where the deceased had an account valued at about 10.5million dollars has issued me a notice to provide the next of kin or have the account confiscated within the next fourteen official working days.

Since I have been unsuccessful in locating the relatives for over 2 years now, I seek your consent to present you as the next of kin of the deceased since you have the same last name so that the proceeds of this account valued at 10.5million dollars can be paid to you and then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and 40% to you. I have all necessary legal documents that can be used to backup any claim we may make.

All I require is your honest cooperation to enable us see this Business through. I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law, hence the business is 100% risk free.

It shall be well with you.

Best regards,
Michael Bangura .


This is of course the classic Dead Bank Customer letter.

My Dear Mr Bangura,

I would be quite willing to help you but I fear I am not related to your former employer. If we were to employ a little deception I am sure I could pull off a passable imitation as the brother of the deceased.

Would this ruse be adequate arrangement for your? It may stretch things legally, however I'm sure David Biggs must have been some kind of relative as there are not many of us Biggs around.

What are the arrangements for dealing with the money on completion of the deal?

Kind Regards
Roger M Biggs

Therefore, do not mistake my intentions as every thing that i am going to do with you is real, legal and genuine. So my dear this deal is real and mandated on you and since I want absolute confidentiality, If this transaction is not Genuine I would not have involved myself ,As such I have a lovely wife and promising children hence I would not want any thing that will bring my name to book.

This transaction will be concluded within the specified time if you will take this transaction as your personal business.

Be informed that the next line of action now is for your to send the following information to me which will enhance the smooth transfer of this fund into your bank account.

First, we have to identify ourselves to each other either by forwarding our ID or INTERNETIONAL PASSPORT or Driver's licence, to ourselves. This is to make sure we can believe and trust each other. As you can understand that our passport photographs are very necessary in this business for easy identification and also for us to build trust among ourselves.

The affidavit would be tendered to the security company to buttress your claim as the beneficiary of the fund.

So my dear friend, this transaction is my whole life and I have spent a whole lot of money to bring it to this level hence I will not want any body to jeopardise my chances as you can understand that why I contacted you was that I can not carry the transaction alone.

What I need from you is your seriousness and dedication to handle this fund once it is at your custody. Please let confidentiality be our motor hence it is only a fool that can disclose the source of his or her success to the public.

I am also a family man having one son, Benito and one daughter Adolph. As a fellow father you will know how much children can mean to a man. I would do anything for my children. Anything.

Dear Roger M Biggs,

I am very grateful with your urgent response to my mail and also your contact information which you have forwarded to me but you did not give me your phone and Fax numbers. Try to send it to me as soon as you respond to this mail so that I can call you for us to discuss orally about the success of the business.

I have forwarded to you here as an attachment a copy of my International Passport for you to know me and also know whom you are dealing with, therefore forward your own ID to me immediately so that I will know whom you are and also know whom I am Trusting the fund to. This will serve as an evidence to prove to you that what we are doing is real ,genuine and legal, so you have no problem to deal with me at all. I have the certificate of deposit which Mr.David Biggs used to deposit the fund to the security company and I will send you a copy of this certificate as soon as the security company contacts you and notify you about the transfer.

Please, as soon as you received this my International Passport, Kindly forward your own Identity such as a copy of your own International Passport, Your driver's Licence or any of your Identification card for me to know whom I am dealing with and for me to know whom I am trusting the fund to.

Please note, you must be checking your email everyday so that you can be writing me Daily to enable me update you on day to day progress report on the transaction. It is also very compulsory that you must take this business as your own personal business and also give it the utmost secrecy it deserve until the fund is been transferred to your bank account and there should be no third party to be involved in this business as I will not want anybody to jeopardise this golden opportunity for me and my family because I am aspiring to contest for a governorship post in my state come next year Election and it is part of my own money here that I will use to sponsor myself.

Finally, be informed that I have forwarded all your information to the security company to enable them start the processing of the documents which will enhance the smooth transfer of the fund to you. However I am going to look for an accredited attorney here in Nigeria who will be going to the federal ministry of justice {high court} to get a sworn affidavit of claim in your name
which will be used to make change of ownership of the fund to your name as the bonafide beneficiary of the fund and as the next of Kin to Mr.David Biggs.

As soon as possible I will let you know the next line of action when I hear from the security company.

Yours Sincerely,
Michael Bangura.

I do not do any business over the telephone or fax. I do not trust them as they are far too easy to infiltrate by prying ears. I'm surprised a business man like yourself would want to go back to the dark ages when we face a new millennium, if you get my meaning.

Email is good enough for me. I have a state of the art protections system to scramble messages should unwanted attention try to get a look in.

What is up with your passport picture? In the US it should be a full face straight on. We don't sit for no family portrait for a passport over here. Your passport looks like something Nicky the Greek tried to sell me for bringing in some new faces from Europe. That bird didn't fly and Nicky ended up eating concrete for the rest of his natural.

I don't hold a passport. Why the hell would I want to leave the USA to travel to another country? We got everything here.

I enclose a picture so you can get a measure of the man you are dealing with.

I don't mean to be pushy, you have to understand the kind of man I am, I like to get things done and be ahead of the game. But does your security company wish to have my bank details for deposit of the money?

Please get back to me on this. For now Adolph has a ballet lesson to get to.

Yours warmly
Roger M Biggs

Dear Roger M. Biggs,

I thank you once again for your prompt email and I wish it will continue like this. The manager of the security company has promised that immediately you get the affidavit and the change of ownership of the fund is made in your name, the fund will be transferred to your designated bank account without delay.

As at the time of writing this mail, the processing of the legal documentation has started in the security company and as soon as they conclude their verifications today based on your information forwarded to them, they will contact you and let you know when and how the fund will be transferred to you.

As I told you in my last mail, I have spoken with one of the accredited attorney here who will help us go to the federal high court to find out how much it will cost to obtain the required legal documents in your name that will be used to make change of ownership of the fund to your name which will make you the bonafide beneficiary of the fund.

As soon as he comes back today, I will update you. With regards to your bank account details, I do not know the mode of payment which the security company will adopt. Everything will depend on when they contact you. On your comment on my passport, they usually take the snap shot at the passport section of the Nigerian immigration Office.

Please can you call me on my phone number 234-803-357-1336 so that we can talk since I do not have yours, I would have love to call you.

The attorney will be back before the end of today. As soon as he let me know what it takes, I will write you once again and let you know as I will like us to conclude this business on or before Friday is week I have given the manager of the security the sum of $2,500 as gratification and he has promised to transfer the fund the fund to you immediate the change of ownership of the fund is been made in your name.

I wish you and your family the best of the day.

Awaiting your response.

Michael.

Mikey

I can call you Mikey, yeah? I used to know a Mikey, great guy, but business is business.

This is good business. I like the speed you operate at. I tell you, if only we had some smart guys like you over here. We got problems with new guys trying to move in. They don't understand business. They're trash, pure and simple.

We've had this town since the thirties. My Papa, he tells stories would make your hair turn white. He used to ride high with the big boys, that was back when we went under the name Biggalletta. My Pappa, he was the first made man in our family. His mamma was so proud.

You put up $2,500 of your own cash on this? I gotta get you that back. I'll cover the expenses on this. You can't be expected to make payouts like that.

So do I just sit tight now and wait for the security company to get in touch? What about this affidavit? I ain't too good on legal niceties.

I'm going to have to get back to you later, me and the boys are just going to "take out the trash". You know, yeah.

Dear Roger M. Biggs,

The information reaching me about an hour ago from the Security Company was that they have finished the verification of the information supplied to them and all are found to be correct. They said that you are therefore expected to come to Nigeria to sign the approvals/Necessary documents that will enable them transfer the fund to you. You are expected to come with a signing fee of $500.00 only.

Secondly, the attorney has just contacted me and informed me that he is back from the court where he went to find out what it takes for him to get an affidavit of claim in your name which will be used to make change of ownership of the fund in your favour as the beneficiary of the fund.

1.He said that the affidavit cost $250.00.

2.He said also that if he is to stand on your behalf to sign the documents in the security company and also go to the federal high court to obtain the affidavit, he will collect the sum of $300.00 as his service charge.

Therefore, the total amount we are required to spend to actualize this business as soon as possible is $1,050.00.

I want you to contact the attorney now and let him tell you more about this and also let you know how you will send the money to him so that he will proceed immediately and obtain the documents and at the same time have the documents signed in your favour.

The name of the attorney is Mr.NICHOLAS ADAMS.

HIS EMAIL ADDRESS IS :nichyadams@yahoo.co.uk

Kindly get back to me immediately as I am still on the next and let me know when it will be possible for you to send the money to the attorney.

Thanks for your understanding.
Michael.

Mikey,

I don't like using mouthpieces I don't know, you get me. I want to use my own lawyer. She's been with the family for years, married to my brother Ray, and she knows her way around a courtroom like a midget under a duvet. Her name is Beth Summers.

I'll ask her to get in touch. Don't worry about confidentiality. She already has enough on me to put me in the chair in three states. She's no squealer and besides she's family. Family is important.

About travelling. When did you want me to come over? I may send Beth over instead. I can't leave the country for the next couple of months. The DePalmas are trying to take over this borough from the East and the Tarantinos are moving up from Jersey. It may get messy

Dear Roger Biggs,

Thanks for your mail. Please it is very necessary you come to Nigeria to sign the documents because you will also go to high court here to obtain an affidavit to make change of ownership of the fund to your name.

About your lawyer over there, if you feel that she can represent you fine, then she can come. But why I wanted you to make use of a local attorney is because he will be at a better position to know what and what to do. This is because when my people here see your lawyer as a foreigner, they will make price of things to be higher than what they give it to people here and then it will be expensive.

Well you are welcomed to Nigeria therefore tell me when you will be around so that I will come to the airport to pick you up

Awaiting your urgent and positive response.

Yours Sincerely,
Michael.

To Michael, Roger

Mr Bangura

Don Roger Biggs has asked me to be his legal advisor and representative in your dealings with him. Please copy me in on any further correspondence you have with Don Biggs. He has invested me with complete Power of Attorney to act on his behalf.

You are a barrister so will understand the full legal implications of this.

He has mentioned that he may want me to travel to Nigeria to meet with you with the aim of speedily expediting this matter. Please send me a full itinerary of such a journey.

He has instructed me to send you a photograph of myself as he says this is how you like to do business. Very well, a recent picture is included.

Yours
Bethany Summers

I tell you I can't come to Nigeria right now. This situation here is more important than your few million. This is the future of the family in New York. This is about to become all out family war. Jackie Two Fingers was whacked last night by Leggy the Knife when he was skimming the milk for the crocodiles. I can't let this stand. I have to act now.

It's all about respect. I won't be respected if I run of to Africa for a holiday in the current situation. I'll be followed by a cripple with an uzi and I'll look like the piazzaman came early.

I want to help you out that's why I'll send my mouthpiece. Beth can bring the cash for you. Don't worry about her safety holding the cash, she will naturally arrive with some bodyguards. I can't spare my men so I'll hire some ex military guys I know.

I'll have her send you an email and you can judge for yourself her suitability for your task.

By the way what is your address, including postcode. I have a gift to send you.

Attn:Bethany Summers

Be informed that I have received your email. Thanks for that.

You see I have never told Roger Biggs That I am a Barrister. Therefore I refer him back to my first email/proposal to him.

Dear Bethany Summers,I want you to note that you coming here is to come and sign all the approvals in the security company and then to to the Federal high of Nigeria to obtain a sworn affidavit in the name of Mr.Roger Biggs which will be used to make change of ownership of the fund to his before it could be transferred.

I have explained everything to you and I hope he understands the whole thing, therefore I will want him Mr.Roger Biggs to put through on what we have to do next because everything now is in his hands.

If he is to come or if you are to represent him, then you let know when will be arriving Nigeria so that I will arrange on how to come and wait for you at the airport.

This is the true position of thing right now.

Yours Faithfully,
Michael Bangura.

Mikey

Thanks for putting Beth straight on this. What do you think of her? Pretty nice stuff eh?

I can't talk too much now. Busy with the Tarantinos, a representative is coming over to talk things through.

Beth will come over and she'll sort out the travel. You must make reservations for a hotel for her your end. She will be there with three bodyguards they need two connecting rooms, one for her the bodyguards next door. You got any nice hotels over there? How soon do you want her to come?

Roger Biggs



Bethany Summers

13 July

I am terribly sorry, that was my mistake.

Don Biggs was impressed with your knowledge of the law and mentioned so to me. I presumed you must have studied it.

I will get on with the travel arrangements when you inform me when I am to travel. What are the arrangements concerning residence while in Nigeria am I staying with you or in a hotel? Don Biggs is in a meeting now so I cannot ask him

Yours
Beth Summers

To Mikey's "lawyer", Nichy Adams

Nichy

My buddy Mikey says you are a go to guy for the legal issues.

Where are you from and where are you based? I notice you have a UK email address and Adams looks like an English name. Are you English? I don't like the English, my Great uncle Ussos Tupido was killed by the English in World War 2.

You know that Mikey needs photographs when dealing with people. I'm going to need one of you. Emails it to me at this address. I have to know I can trust you. People are stabbing each other in the back around here.

I have my own lawyer to sort out most of the legal issues. But you may come in useful for a certain bit of business I need to be distant from.

Get back to me quickly.

Attn:Roger M Biggs

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your email dated 13th july,2005.I really understood your points.

1.I am a Nigerian not a an English man as you stated in your mail but I must let you know that every Nigerian has English Name because we are colonized by English people.

[That makes sense, India and Pakistan were colonized by the British for donkey's years and now all Indians and Pakistanis have English names -- er, don't they?]

2. Mr Michael Bangura has told me all about this business and I verified on it and everything is ok. I have already gone to the court and find out what it costs to obtain an affidavit as directed by Mr.Michael.

Attached here is a copy of Picture of myself and my wife in my Office as requested.

Get back to me.

Sincerely Yours,

Michael

This is a private email between the two of us. Don Biggs must not find out.

Don Biggs may not be with us much longer. His brother Ray has done a deal with the Tarantino family. They are to merge their enterprises and squeeze Roger out. This has been coming for some time. The family are not happy with the way Don Biggs is running things.

Roger is meeting with the Tarantino Capo now. This is just a front. They have agreed to kill him for Ray so that Ray can take over the Biggs family.

If you want the deal to continue I suggest you cut Roger out. His life will almost certainly be over within the next 2 weeks. You will not be able to collect your share of the money from him after his death. Ray is interested in your deal and wants a piece, give him Roger's.

Your discretion is required absolutely. Don Biggs still commands enough respect to have me disposed of if he finds out about this. Beth Summers



Michael Bangura

13 July

Dear Bethany Summers,

I am writing to inform you that your last mail was received and the contents are well understood.

As it stands now, I am going to send my attorney here to go and find out every information concerning your Hotel Accommodation because I have to get a five star hotel with good security for you people and also to ask the security company what it will take to transfer the money to Mr. Roger Biggs bank account.

Awaiting your response

Michael Bangura



Bethany Summers

13 July

Michael

As I mentioned earlier Roger will be unable to complete your deal as local matters here require his removal from the situation. However it may be easier to go through Roger's bank account as that will fall into Ray's hands as next of kin in the event of Roger's untimely end. Ray will honour your original deal with Roger.

To change at this stage to Ray's account would involve unwanted delays.

I am copying this to Ray so that you know he is now involved. Roger must not know anything is amiss. Continue to discuss things with Roger as if everything is normal. We still need him to get the transfer made smoothly. Don't worry he will not be killed until we have completed this deal

He is still in the meeting with the Tarantinos. He will think the meeting has gone well and that the threat is over, that is just part of the front.

On a happier note, you have still not given me any dates to come over to Nigeria.

Beth Summers



Michael Bangura

13 July

Dear Bethany Summers,

Thanks for your mail and all your points are well understood. Please my dear Bethany I will advice you to tell them not to KILL ROGGERS BIGGS for any reason because it is not good to kill rather I will suggest we avoid him in the business as you have suggested instead of killing him.

You should understand that he is the person I contacted in this business and I have gone so far with him. I have used his name to make all the necessary changes in the computer department of the security company where the fund is deposited, if you are telling me now that I should use Don Biggs, then we have to take the name of Don Biggs to security company and also make the name there and then pay the sum of $2,500.00 which Roggers knew I have paid before.

Please advice immediately.

Awaiting your immediate response as I am still on the net.

Regards,
Michael.



Bethany Summers

13 July

Michael

I think my previous email, sent just before I received this covers most of your points.

We will continue with Roger. He will not be killed until after the completion of the deal. If you prefer we can wait til after Roger has paid you your share.

Do not worry. This does not change the security of your situation. You are 100% safe and you will get your money.

To clarify the Don Biggs mix-up, "Don" is a title like Mr. It is said respectfully Roger Biggs is "Don Biggs" as he is the head of the family. When Ray takes over he will be called "Don Biggs" It is respect.

There are only two Biggs involved in this Roger and Ray.

I trust you have been addressing Roger Biggs as "Don Biggs" when you have been writing to him. It would have been a great disrespect not to and would have annoyed him greatly. By the way, a word of warning - never NEVER misspell Roger as "RoGGer" with two Gs when you write to him. That is a word that means when a dog eats its own shit. He would have you hunted down and killed for the insult.

Kind Regards
Bethany Summers



Michael Bangura

13 July

Dear Beth Summers,

I want inform you that I will give you a date of your coming to Nigeria tomorrow when my Attorney here must have concluded every arrangement with every department and I will let you know.

Thank,
Michael.



Oh dear, Roger's found out and he's not happy.

Don Roger M Biggs

14 July

You've been a very bad boy Mikey. You've been trying to go behind my back with that good for nothing brother of mine and his lying cheating wife. Well they aren't here no more Mikey. You understand?

I found out.

You took their side and tried to cut me out. YOU TRIED TO CUT ME OUT.

I think we should end our business here Mikey. I don't trust you no more.
