Subject: SOLICITATION FOR INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Sir/Madam,
Investment Assistance
I humbly approach you with a view that we may be able to enter into a
mutual business transaction that could be of immense benefit to both
parties. As led by my instinct, I decided to contact you through email,
after searching for Contacts via the internet, as it is the only means I can
contact anybody since I am cutting off ties with Sierra Leone for now. I
apologize if this is not acceptable to you. Foremost; I should begin by
introducing myself.
I am Mr. PATRICK TAMA the son of late Mr. GEORGE TAMA, a precious stone
merchant in Sierra Leone, who died on the 6th of May 2001.
After the death of my father, the Government of Sierra Leone arrested my mum
and my kid brother on the allegation that my father was a front man to the
late dictators of Sierra Leone. All my father's assets were confiscated, by
the present government and during this injustice; my brother and my mum were
maltreated and tortured. From this trauma, my mum fell sick and died. After
the whole incident, I went through my father's document and I found out that
he lodged $12 800,000.00 (Twelve Million Eight Hundred Thousand Dollars)
kept in custody for us in a security company stashed in trunk boxes and
deposited as personal belongings before he died, out side my country and he
intended investing it before his untimely death.
Sir, my intention now is to invest in your country, in any profitable
business you deem fit. I will be grateful if we could come into joint
business partnership. Because of my family background I shy away publicity.
Precisely, I prefer staying away from well know public figures in any
country. Hence I won't want my name mentioned to any one, as I still want to
stay away from the scrutiny of my country government. Mentioning this mail
to anyone may put me in a big mess and cause me to lose the money. As soon
as I receive your consent I will immediately forward the contact and all
other information of where and how to collect this money.
For your assistance, I have two options for you. Firstly you can choose to
have 20% of the money for your assistance, and helping me open an account
for the money to be deposited here, or you can go into partnership with me
for the proper profitable investment of the money in your country.
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
You can reach me on 0031 617 664 901 for further discussion on this project.
Thanks
Mr. PATRICK TAMA

Mr. Tama
Lately I got 3 messages more or less similar to your offer. I answered to all of
them, but they all seem to ask the money in advance, before I get the money
promised. I refuse to do it untill I get a solid proof of the money and refuse
to invest any of my hard earned money in it, not even the airplane ticket to
come to Ghana or wherever...
If your offer is similar to this, find somebody else, I wish you a good day, but
if you are ready to cover the expences, II'll try to help you, Anyway, you asked
me for help, I did not go searching for you....
So if you are real, please contact me on this e-mail.
My Name: Nash M. Chovek

If you want, you can see my passport.
Please send me yours.

Dear Mr Nash,
Thanks for your response to my solicitation for your assistance.I understand you
must have gotten pleas similar to mine in the past which you for one reason or
the other couldn't cope with but i can say to you without mincing words that my
proposition is different from any you must have been accosted with in the past
as mine is legitimate and geniune.
I sure understand your show of skepticsm but sir do find
it in your heart to assist me as this deal will be mutually beneficial to the
both of us.The funds like i wrote in my first email to you is in 2 boxes
and has been transferred from the security company's South African office downt
to the Netherlands,where i am presently living in a refugee camp as an asylum
seeker.
I pray you sir to think about my plight and try to assit me and i'll be forever
grateful to you for your assistance.
You can however reach me on this telephone number...0031 617 664 901.This is my
telephone number in the Netherlands.
I'll be looking forward to your response.
Patrick

My question to you is:

If it is like that, please inform me on our next steps.

Dear Sir,
Thanks once again for your response.About the
expenses,considering my present status as a refugee i don't have the cash with
me at the moment to meet all the expenses apart from the funds with the
security company.But i can assure you that as soon as the funds are cleared from
the security company's vaults and paid into your account,you shall be entitled
first to whatever expenses you might have incurred in the process of claiming
the consignment containing the funds before sharing in the agreed ratio.
I do hope you will understand sir and give your best at assisting me.

Subject: A proposal to you how we can do it
So if I understood well, I have to believe to you, and pay
the airplane tickets, the hotel bills, and then the expences on the storage of
the funds which can go anywhere to 10000-15000 euro. All this in hope that in
the boxes is the money you say there is! You wrote me an e-mail, and I am
supposed to believe to you. Would you believe to me a similar thing? Ok, let us
do it the other way around
20% of 12 800 000 is 2 560 000 $. Let us assume the fee, the hotel bills and the
airplane would cost me 20 000, meaning that I'd get 128 times the money I
invest! Now, I think I could believe to you if you are ready to invest exactly
128 times smaller sum from the one I'd have to invest, which is
156.25$....(156.25$x128=20000)
Do you believe to me that I am ready to believe to you and are you ready to risk
it?
I PROMISE to you that if you transfer the sum of 156.25$ (hundred and fifty six
dollars and twenty five cents) to my account, I'll come to Amsterdam to pay the
storage charges at the security company and pick up the money, then we will
share the money as you said, you will refund me my expences and I'll refund
your's, and we will be very good friends.
Here is my bank account, please send the money to this account:
Name: Nash Chovek
Adress: 19 Mela Spyrou str, 166 73 Voula, Athens, Greece
BANK NAME ---------LAIKI BANK----
BANK ADDRESS-----Glyfada Branch,16675 Glyfada,GREECE
ACCOUNT NUMBER--011-003865-909
SWIFT CODE----------EPPBGRAA
If you want to discuss it, I invite you to come to Athens and be my guest!!!
I believe I am being fair and if you tell me that you do not have the 156
dollars, I will believe that you do not believe me and then I will not believe
you!!!
Please answer to me as soon as possible, and let us do it as soon as
possible because my schedules in March are very tight , so it is better if we
managed to finish it before 6th of March.
Nash Chovek, Athens Greece

I don't think I'll hear from him again!
24 hours later...
I was wrong, he does not give up just like that, he trys to sell me a
heartbreaking story,
but off course he does not send the money to my (false) account!!!
If I expexted him to do it, I would have given him my real one! 156 is more then
enough for a nice pair of shoes. And I would have been the first guy who cheted
the Nigerian Cheating Urgents....

Dear Sir,
I really appreciate your email,it did make a lot of sense to me sir.But sir i
must draw your attention to the fact that i am in a refugee camp here in the
Netherlands and what i get for feeding on a weekly basis
is 29 Euros.But considering my present predicament and if been able to
raise that money will make you believe i'm not lying then i'm going to ask among
fellow refugees if they can learn me some money so i can send it to you.
I really am confused right now,but i do hope you understand my condition and
assist me.
Kind Regards,
Patrick

Mr. Tama,
Come on, now, you dissapointed me very much. I am ready to invest 20 000 and
believe to you that I am going to make 128 times more-2 560 000, without being
sure of anything, and you do not believe to me to send me 128 times less
money-156 dollars and 25 cents! As far as I know you may be just lying to me,
trying to get my money saying that this is for some fee, and dissapier the
moment you take the money from me. And 20 000 is enough here to buy a nice
second car, like an Audi A2 or a small Mercedess A-class!
So, I am ready to risk a car (OK, not a classy one, but good small one, like the
one I bought for my daughter from my first marriage) and you are not ready to
risk cheap shoes (a week ago I bought a pair of nice Italian shoes ON 50% off
SALES for 199 euros, which is more then 200$)!!!
Sorry, but I can not believe that a person who has stashed somewhere millions is
in the position to live with 29 euros a week! That is barely enoughto buy
yourself a food for a day! And one of the meals, God forbid, would be in
MacDonallds or KFC!!!
Unless you send me some solid proof of the money, or send me the money I asked,
I can not consider you a worthy partner, my business ethics do not allow me
that!!!
I still have a small hope that you will meet my demands, and we'll do the deal
you offered to me. And soon enough you won't need to be eating fast food any
more!
If you do not answer to me I'll consider that all this was a trick. From a Guy
who did not have the balls to risk the money for shoes! And I have the balls to
risk a car!!!
Mr. Tama, show me what you have!
I'll be waiting. You saw my passport, you know who I am,
yours, Nash Chovek, Athens, Greece
