ROM THE DESK OF: BARRISTER PETER J. ABBA

CHAMBER:ABBA & ASSOCIATES

3 Allen Ave.Ikeja, Lagos - Nigeria

Please bear with me for sending this letter

to you surprisingly. I am the Barrister P.J Abba

Personal Attorney to a national of your country,

who used to work with Shell Petroleum Development

Company in Nigeria (SPDC).

Please, I sincerely wish to let you know that this

is not the kind of e-mails that you will refer to

as "spam" or it's like. I am genuine and I will

prove it to you once I hear back from you

On the 21st of April 2002, my client,

his wife And their three children

were involved in a car accident

along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.

Unfortunately they All lost their

lives in the event of

the accident,Since then I have made

several enquiries to your Embassy to

locate any of my clients extended relatives,

this has also proved unsuccessful.

After these several unsuccessful attempts,

I decided to trace his relatives over the

Internet to locate any member of his family

but of no avail, hence I contacted you.

I contacted you to assist in repartrating

the money and property left behind by my

client before they get confiscated

or declared unserviceable by the bank

where this huge deposits were lodged.

Particularly, the Bank where the deceased

had an account valued at about $9million

U.S dollars (Nine million dollars).

Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice

to provide the next of kin or have the account

confiscated within the next ten official working days.

Since I have been unsuccesfull in

locating the the relatives for over 2 years now.

I seek your consent to present you as the next of

kin of the deceased since you are from the same

country so that the proceeds of this account

valued at $9million U.S dollars can be paid

to you and then you and me can share the money.

55% to me and 40% to you,while 5% should be for

expenses or tax as your government may require.

I have all necessary legal documents that can

be used to back up any claim we may make. All

I require is your honest cooperation to enable us

see this deal through. I guarantee that this

will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that

will protect you from any breach of the law.

Yours Faithfully,

P.J. Abba

For:Abba & Associates.

Я поинтересовался, что требуется от меня, на что получил следующий ответ:

Dear Vladimir,

I respond with the belief that you understand the necessity for strict privacy and confidence in a transaction of this magnitude and

nature. I make bold to intimate you with the details of my perfected

modalities for the realization of this project. This project is ready

for execution, it is 100% risk free;But where the only risk lies is will this money be safe when in your custody?I will trust you with

this responsibilty but it is a risk on my part if this money is not transfered out of this country immediately.

I depend on your total co-operation and assistance for the materialization of this project to be accomplished.

The necessity to follow my instructions cannot be over-emphasized, as I am committed not just for the transfer of the funds parse, but to ensure a 100% success of this project.I hope for your total trust and honesty as I reassure you that neither your interest nor that of your company will be jeopardized on account of availing me the use of your account for the transfer of the funds in question.

We are embarking on this transaction after the bank where the money is being lodged gave me

an ultimatum to provide a next of kin to the deceased or the money will be forfieted into the Federal Government War Endowment fund which was secretly set aside to support the rebels in west african

sub-region in an effort of the government to perpatrate thier long

stay in office sine these leaders are all ex-military men with a military mind in civilain clothing.It was due to this backdrop that I kicked against the wrong use of these fund hence I contacted you to help me save lives and also benefit immensly from this money.

MODALITIES

The sum of US$9,000,000.00 being the inheritance claim payment would

be officially perceived to have been willed to you by our late client. Yes, the process of the funds transfer would be legitimized and officialised by assuming the protocol of a foreign transfer entitlement from Union Bank Nigeria Plc which is the final remitting authority. However this application will pass through the Tenders Board of the bank. All relevant approvals and validation report will certify the claims for the payment.

All other approvals will be issued by the Central Bank of Nigeria.All

these are mere procedures for the satisfaction of fund release.

Be informed that within 5-7 working days of the commencement of this project, we would have successfully concluded the customary procedure oof transfer. To enable us commence,kindly forward the following information:

1.Your complete names.

2.Your contact/mailing address.

3.Your private telephone and fax number.

Upon the receipt of these information,I will forward to you the Bank text of application form which you will use to apply for the inheritance claims from the bank,you are to complete and return to the bank for processing Immediately.

I await to hear from you.

Regards,

Barrister Peter Abba.

Не могли бы Вы объяснить, что на самом деле хотят от меня?

Dear Mr. Yuriy Leonov,

From our analysis, it shows that you need to get the Presidential Letter of Guarantee (PLOG) to release your inheritance funds in your name. And also from your correspondences with your late lawyer's son it shows that you have not been forthcoming in making sure that your inheritance was released to you by the government of Togo.

You should know that we have done all diplomatically possible to position you for an unhindered claims process which has given you the right to be in contact with all the necessary authorities you have corresponded with including the top government officials of Togo.

It will be a deliberate wasted efforts by you if you have not until now been able to secure this Presidential Letter Of Guarantee which releases your inheritance funds in your name. We have done all we need to diplomatically do under our diplomatic ethics of operations on your behalf to give an unrestricted access to the Government of Togo for the procurement of all necessary legal documents of your inheritance. All you need to do now is to make sure that your late lawyer's son is morally supported by you to finish the process of securing this PLOG as soon as you can, seeing that it is only this document that is holding back your inheritance funds from you and your family. Mobilize all your family members to raise the necessary money for you secure this PLOG as soon as possible; you should do a family funds raising before you lose the opportunity of securing this last document from the Government of Togo.

You need to do all you can to make sure that you secure/obtain this document within the stipulated time before it will be too late for you to get. You should not go for a new application of this same document because that will be too difficult for you to do if you elapse the given time of getting the document from the office of the president at this time.

Объявление на английском чтобы сразу было понятно кто требуется

- Not Business English not some "Hello how are you?" but Fluent English! Just like you speak Russian. You will deal with non Russian clients at the moment due to Youtube having issue with Russia.

- Retainer's fee of 80 000 rubles monthly. You only work when something needs doing.You have to get to it within a day.

- Have a pretty good idea about Youtube, videos that fall under American fair use law, Russian free use law, the knowledge of those laws and all the Russian laws pertaining to copyright.

- The job is the copyright protection of fair use creators under the umbrella of Russian law. Your job entails signing clients up explaining what legal protection we provide and answering their copyright questions when they ask.

- You will have to go to court if some dumb, mostly American, company decides to sue us on copyright grounds. Very unlikely but it can happen.
