Dear Mr Ndu
Sorry for the delay in replying, but my fiance and I are busy with our wedding arrangements at the moment. It's becoming frightfully complicated and stressful.
Anyway dear, we're very interested in your proposition, so do please tell us more. Please also tell us how to pronounce your name - as I was saying to my fiance only last night, it's a bit of a mouthful isn't it!?
With kind regards

Dear Johnson
How interesting that you should live in New Haven! I had an aunt who lived in the other Newhaven. It's a lovely seaside town near Brighton. Have you ever been there?
Yes, please do send me the application forms. I don't know if you can scan them? If so, please email them to me here. Otherwise please fax them to 07092 151344.
My full name is Ms Camilla Parker-Bowles, and I was born in London on 17th July 1947. However, after April 8th I will be Mrs Camilla Windsor. There's no point in giving you my own address as Charles and I are already co-habiting. Our marital address will be Clarence House, Stable Yard Road, The Mall, London, SW1A 1BA
30% of the proceeds will be most acceptable. We will have to provide for my future mother-in-law in her old age as her other sons are (to be blunt) pretty useless, and she does have such extravagant tastes! I have attached some pictures, and I hope you can do the same. I know you can't come to England, and I can't come to Nigeria, but it's so much better to do business face-to-face.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, lots of love
Camilla

Subject: [SPAM?]: About myself And My Work ID
Hello Camilla,
I am writting you this mail to fullfil obligation of revealing my information to you as promised due to the Trust which i have bestowed on you.Also I want to inform you that we will make an arragement with the Attorney who will help us secure the legal document, that will back-up the fund into your account without any question that might ask you by your bank or your country. I want you to understand that its due to my continued interest to work with you that i am reavealing my full identity to you .I would have invited you to My country for us to see face to face so that I can be able to know the kind of person I am doing business with and for us also to make a binding agreement that will bind us together in this business stating that you will not make any withdrawal immediately the money gets into your account untill my arrival to country for the appropriate investment and sharing, but since there is no time, I believe that you will never let me down now or in the future. In my next mail which follows immediately, i will send you an Application prepared for you to fill and forward to the Bank,inform me once you send the Application for my pursual.
I am 54yrs old, Manager Co-operate affairs in United Bank For Africa PLC,Enugu branch. I am married with children, 2 boys and 3 girls. Apart from my position in the office as the Co-operate Affairs Manager, I am from a reputable family in Anambra land here in my country and by virtue of our tradition, I am from a royal family. Also i am a full fledged and active member of Raman Catholic Church.
In my life I will never do anything that will tarnish your image or the image of our great family Ndu Dynasty even for billions, I am doing this business with you because it is safe not because of the large amount of money involved.
You have nothing to worry about because all the paper work of this transfer will be legally processed by the appropriate Ministries and will also be endorsed by your embassy here to show to your country government and your bank that the money going into your a/c is legal and comes from genuine source. There will be complete documents to prove that this fund is legal. Like i told you in my previous mails in due course the legality of this transaction will manifest itself I assured you that everything will work perfectly fine because once we secured the legal documents the bank will approve this payment once all the necessary requirements needed by the bank are gotten.
Most importantly, you have to keep this business at top secret ,cause on my own part its water tight. I attach my Work I.D for proper identification of my good self and hope to recieve yours. Please do confirm me your full identiy. Am waiting to hear from you.

Thank you for sending your ID Card. I had no idea you were so handsome. Can you send me any more pictures of yourself?
Charles is away working in New Zealand at the moment, and I'm so lonely. A larger photograph would really cheer me up.

Dear Johnson
I've picked up your email though my webmail account here at the stables in Cheltenham. As I told you yesterday morning, I will be here at the Cheltenham Gold Cup all week.
Unfortunately I will not be able to get at my fax machine until Friday evening. I haven't seen anything from the bank in my emails, so I'm sure the bank document is there on the fax waiting for me, I just can't get to it. I did give them the fax number, but here it is again - 07092 151344.
Please ask the bank to be patient - I'm sure they can wait until Friday. If they need a more urgent response, please ask them to email it to me, as I can collect my emails here at the stables every evening.
I'm going to have a rub-down now from that big hunk of a stable-boy!
Love and kisses
Camilla

Charles just phoned. He came home from New Zealand last night. I'm so looking forward to seeing him tomorrow night!
Charles said that there was nothing from the bank on the fax machine. Can you please ask them to send it again, and Charles will deal with it on my behalf. The number is 07092 151344.
Love
Camilla
and on into April...
