E-Mail Scams: Part II

Well, after sending my response at 10:24 a.m. yesterday, I received a response from Mr. Jafer at 5:19 p.m. yesterday. The text of which is as follows:

Dear Winston
Thank you for your encouragement and willingness ,I am most grateful for your mail,and I seize this opportunity to thank you for coming to my help in concluding this for the less priviledge. I got your contact on the web directory on the internet and I opted to reach you since relatives and friends have deserted the truth and to go their own way. And i
must be quick to sieze the opportunity to also thank you for coming to help in this lucrative project,you must be the kind of person i will need to conclude this project for me.

Just like I stated in my first mail to you this funds is presently in a cargo company in
Europe and i deposited this funds as personal effects.I must be quick to mention here that the company does not know that this boxes contains money,this was done deliberately by me for the security of the funds.please i beg you with my last breath to do what it's meant for when it is finally payed to you.

All the necessary documents required to get the funds out of the cargo/security firm are in my possession and I will be sending them to you after we must have come to a conclusion but i have a little time to live.

Please this funds must be distributed as planned.(it was not by my making,but through a dream/ i saw people with no aid, no assistance what's so ever, and decent care,this prompted me to tourch the lives of the
homeless one way or the other and this was the best i could do to revive some dying souls).

Please I will need you to give me your words that you will be very honest and straight forward when the money gets to you considering my health and that of this project. So long as you can distribute this funds successfully to CHARITY ORGANISATIONS of your choice all over the world.

On reciept of your responce,forward your most confidential addresses so as to introduce you to my Solitor overseas'to draft a power of Attorney to your name as my foreign partner,subsequently I will be sending you the documents needed to get the two trunk boxes out of the cargo/security company once I get a
guarantee and assurance from you that this funds will be safe and be invested on the said project/foundation etc.

A copy of this power of attorney will be sent to the cargo/security company that is holding the funds and a copy will be sent to you as well.Please also let me know if it will be convenient for you to secure this funds on my behalf for the said purpose,so that i can go ahead and intorduce you to my lawyer he will then proceed in sending you the
necessary documents needed to conclude this project.because'i'm going to die as medical experts has confirmed.

MY QUESTIONS:
# WHAT IS YOUR OCCUPATION?

# ARE YOU MARRIED,IF YES,HOW MANY CHILDREN?
# HAVE YOU BEEN OF HELP OF THIS TYPE BEFORE?
# ARE YOU CAPABLE OF HANDLING SUCH?
May almighty Allah strenghten you to conclude this foundation on my
behalf.
Best Regards,

Salam Jafer

Almighty Allah, eh? Oh, I almost forgot, he included a picture of himself, as a .bmp file:


I tried to find the same image on google somewhere, but to no avail. Maybe this is for real...

Yeah, right. This morning, I e-mailed him the following response:

Mr. Jafer,

Thank you for the information. I do have two questions for you regarding our transaction:

1. Why did you send your response from a different e-mail address?
2. As my e-mail address might suggest, I do not believe in charity. I will gladly take your funds and use them, but they will not be used for any happiness other than myself, and the places I do business with. I'm sorry if this conflicts with your goal, but it's how I live my life.

As far as the answers to your questions:
1. I am a ear, nose, and throat doctor.
2. I have one child from a previous marriage, and one with my current (and second) wife
3. I have not been of this type of help before.
4. I am capable.

Best,

Winston

Ah, my favorite flavor of bullshit.

I told him I do not believe in charity because I'm curious as to his response.

I said doctor, because that assumes I am well of, which I most certainly am not in real life. Ear, nose, and throat, because that sounds funny to me.

Why two wives and two children. I suggest you google Winston O' Boogie.

More as it develops...
