Dear Mr Carlos,

I have been informed about my huge win on the lottery by Mr Daniel James (a good egg, that chap).

Please send all relevant documentation to ensure that we affect this transfer. I don't know if Mr James told you, but I am very ill with cancer and need this money pronto for my chemotherapy treatment in a Swiss clinic, so let's do this quick like.

Cheers mucka,

Roy Whiting

Dear Roy Whiting,

Thanks for your mail and enquiries. We hereby acknowledge that we have
in our Escrow account the sum of 1,625,000.39 Euros (0ne Million Six
Hundred And Twenty Five Thousand Euros and Thirty-Nine Cents) for
clearing and transfer into your nominated account.

However, since your fund is held under an Escrow/Transit account, we
cannot deduct our cost of transfer from same. Besides that, the lottery
rules and regulations does not permit us to deduct from winners prize.
It must reflect on record that all beneficiaries has received their
original winning sum as every prize is being covered by an insurance
policy.

Therefore, the cost of transfer which is 2,500 Euros (Two Thousand five
Hundred Euros) has to be discharged independently by you the benefiary.
We shall effect transfer within 24 hours upon the payment and
confirmation of the cost of transfer. So get back to us on how you can make the
payment of the cost of transfer fee.

We await your urgent feedback

Cordially

Dear Mr Carlos,

Thanks for your message.

Of course I would be delighted to pay you the fee to affect the money transfer. The rampaging aggressive cancer that I suffer from will only benefit from the treatment I will be able to afford once the money is through, so this admittedly quite large fee for the transfer will be nothing but an investment for my health. Just imagine what would happen if this was a hoax and I never saw any of the winnings! I'd be really shafted.

Thank God for this true miracle.

Praise His name.

I will wire you the money via international transfer. Please send me the details of the necessary account so I can send you the remainder of my life savings in this convenient way.

Thank you Mr Carlos. You will indeed be a life saver!

Your friend,

Roy Whiting

Roy makes a "payment".....

Ruben me old china, the money has been wired to your account via electronic transfer. I'm afraid that there won't be any transfer slip as the whole point of electronic transfers is that they are paperless affairs and cut down on bureaucracy.

I hope you will let me know as soon as the funds are deposited in your account. I have booked myself into a Swiss clinic in two weeks and need the winnings as an initial payment for treatment. I hope things go smoothly Ruben. This makes me nervous.

I know you won’t let me down. I trust you as I would my faithful dog.

Yours,

Roy
