Let the games Commence...
Obviously I would like to do this, but I have a problem.
Cell phones and Fax machines are just as unsafe as internet in this country, and I would not
trust them either.
You are aware of my standing, and will therefore understand that I am at high risk of being bugged/tapped at all times.
My internet access would be safer, as I life a somewhat paranoid life behind firewalls.
I would be very interested to know what kind of percentage you are talking about.
I assume a 50% split would be fair, as I am taking the risk, and you are providing the information.
Perhaps it would be possible to exchange a further couple of emails and then arrange to meet up somewhere neutral for a private chat.
Thankyou
Lorinda Hellmuth.
My good friend Mr. Kawa replies...
Dear Lorinda Hellmuth
This is in acknowledgement of your response and a vivid explanation
on the procedures that this transaction will entail. First and
formest, my initial step is to initiate and see that your needed
datas will be forwarded for approval and endorsement.
Also note that the modalities have been simplified, since it is an
in-house transaction. All the necessary documents that are needed for
processing the fund to a third party beneficiary or next of kin will
be duly processed by me. So your involvement in the documentation and processing has
been streamlined to only the following
1. You need to write a formal application in your full name on your
appiontment letter headed paper duly signed by you as the bona fide
next of kin to the original recipient Mr John Creek of which the
guidelines I will give by the foot of this mail. This would be attached with the bank's completed probate
claim form. Which I will scan or fax to you. So please provide your Direct fax Line number(s)
( You will need to complete section "A" ONLY of the application form)
2. We also need to raise an affidavit duly legalized with the Justice
Ministry of Nigeria supporting your status as the next of kin to the
fund. This will be my responsibility.
3. You also need to provide your bank details where the fund will
have to be transferred to.
For the purpose of legalizing all the documents and processing of the
fund in your favor, I am working with a cousin of mine who is a
seasoned commercial attorney and this will afford us your
representation here in Nigeria, to make the entire transaction valid
and authenticated.
The moment we receive payment placement, I will influence the
release to be forwarded from any offshore affiliate bank in a free
location that will give us acess to manuever. With this arrangement a
couple of issues will be cancelled, this will help to protect and
cover our interest.
You will receive 25% offer for your involvement and keep our own
percentage of the fund for us until when we meet. Details of this
sharing will be explained in my agreement of Deed of Understanding
with you later. I will need fund warehousing, a situation where you
will hold the fund while I open an account either in the same branch
of yours until I decide to send across to a location of my choice
that will be convenience to us or the best way that you can determine
to assist.
I am considering going into a joint venture arrangement with you,
when the fund is finally placed in your care and will want to use
part of my share for such purpose. Please advice what investment has
high profitability for our mutual benefit.other details I suggest
will be appropriate on one one conversation.
I will need to speak with you and clarify these issues later. Please
work on the needed letters and send them across as quickly as
possible. . Reply on this my secured email address henceforth.
Regards,
Vince.
Ooooooh! It's Vince now, I must be getting somewhere..

Attn: Mr. Evans Kaku,
Probatry/Treasury Department
Diamond Bank Nigeria .
Sir,
Application For Probate Claims on a/c No: 00111621349-129
I Mr./Madam… (Your Names and Address) with the rights bestowed
on me, in good Frame of mind is applying for the claims, release and
transfer of the closing ballance in Probate Account : 00111621349-129
in the name of Mr. John Creek, which I am now a Beneficiary / Next of
kin as the business partner through Claims on Death as the probate
acts stipulated.
By this letter, Mr Ikimi Williams Esq. whom I have appointed, have
assumed the status of the executor of this claim on my behalf. He
will have all rights and privileges to collect all required
information, Documents and Files of the deceased.
As I bring closure to this procedure through this claim, please
transfer by Forward Transaction, the claimed funds in the amount of £15,000,000.00 or
That number still makes me shake, I love the point zero zero at the end...
Equivalent to my account details below.
My Bank Name.............
Bank address and other details .........
Account No: / other details ...............
I solicit for your cooperation with thanks,
Yours faithfully,
Your names in full (Please stamp or seal, and sign)
But Vince, I still have problems....
Unfortunately the next email was the last.
Going over the top is neccessary in order to get some amusement, but Vince was too sharp for me this time.
Mr. Kawa.
I am having great difficulties in securing my telephone lines at the moment, the
government has often bugged my phone because of my work and obviously a matter as
important as this MUST be 100% safe.
Would it be possible to arrange a private meeting, preferably in London, Birmingham,
or Manchester (which is preferable because it is Rainy season in Manchester right now
and would be an unexpected place to meet).
I will bring the neccessary documentation with me of course and the WSOP seal is on
all of my paperwork, so this will be no problem.
I think 25% is a little tight on your part for such a serious venture, I would require
at least 33% , because, as you know, in my line of work I am taking a huge risk doing
this.
Perhaps you have some thoughts on how we can overcome the phone line difficulty.
Yours respectfully,
Lorinda Hellmuth
Ah well, there are plenty more where he came from...
