MARTHA (BILL) WRITES TO MICHAEL
My Dear Michael,
I do apologize for not getting back to you sooner but I was away this weekend (La Costa doing the waters) and did not have my computer with me. (If I owned a laptop I guess I could then hook up somehow to the Internet?????).
I can assure you Michael that I am totally trustworthy and am the kind of person who honors her commitments. I have always been honest and believe in the goodness of others. I am a positive person and I have never worried about such things as the future because God has always taken care of me.
As an example, He has brought us together for He knows that for me to continue my life style (that to which I’ve been accustomed, as they say) beyond seven to eight more years I will need a rather large infusion of money. My late husband left me the house and a rather robust portfolio of securities but after the past fifteen years of living I will definitely be needing a healthy infusion of money and therefore I’m quite eager to embrace your most attractive and generous offer.
I’ve been rambling so, but I think you’ll agree that the future will be better tomorrow. Please, Michael, tell me more about yourself. You seem like a sweet, dear man, but I know so little.
God bless,
Martha

You should not have anything to worry about, I will do everything legally required to ensure that the project goes smoothly,it shall pass through all Laws of International Banking, you have my word.

This attorney shall be handling all matters of probate on your behalf, he will have all the documents perfected, and with these documents he shall come foward to my bank to apply for the immediate release and transfer of the funds to the account you shall open. I have been a banker for many years and I know perfectly how the system works. Having resolved to entrust this transaction into your hands, I want to remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up. If you work seriously,the entire transaction should be over in a couple of days.
Read the following and get back to me:
Firstly, I will want to know precisely the type of occupation that you do, you should note that this project is highly capital intensive, this is why I have to be very careful, I need your total devotion and trust to see this through. I know we have not met before,but I am very confident that we will be able to establish the necessary trust that we need to execute this project. I am now in contact with a foreign online bank, I now intend that you open an account in your name in this foreign bank. The money would be transfered to your account which you will open in the bank for both of us, this is the best way,I have found, it will protect us from my bank.
I want us to enjoy this money in peace when we conclude. So you listen to my instructions and follow them religiously. Also You have to know that I cannot transfer this money in my name as my bank will be aware that it is from me, this is where I need you. As result of this, you will have to open an account in the corresponding bank. I will obtain a certificate of deposit from this my bank, it will be issued in your name, this will make you the bonafide owner of the funds.
After this,the money will be banked online for both of us. We can then instruct the bank to transfer our various shares into our respective home bank accounts. I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance of my attorney to give the transaction the legal right. Before I commence, I will need you to send me a copy of any form your identification (Driver’s licence or International passport) I know I already have your current address but I want to be sure that I am transacting with the correct person.

I hope you will understand why I need all these, I want to ensure that I know you well before I proceed to give you all the details to commence the project, my curiousity can be justified considering the money in question, besides, it is this copy of your Driver’s Licence or International Passport that will be used by the Attorney have all the necesary documentations perfected.
