This is the one that started my scam baiting hobby. This scam email was posted to a forum of which I am a member (we often post such emails primarily to warn others - although the warning is most probably not necessary, we also find their general ineptitude amusing). One of the other members (the one had received the original email as it happened) asked if anyone was prepared to answer it for the further amusement of the forum. One anonymous email account later and here we go. Sadly, this one died very early on, but I wasn't going to let that stop me!

Mr. Jones,
I am so relieved that you managed to stop the consignment with no problems, I barely slept last night with worry.
Could you explain to me the purpose of the Insurance Certificate? I would have thought that as an international finance company, your own insurance would be much more extensive than anything I can afford? Not to mention the insurance cover of your freight service. Could you also explain to me about Western Union and Money Gram - I have never heard of them. Could I not buy some kind of insurance cover with an insurance company over here? I'm sure that Norwich Union (sorry, Aviva) would be able to draw up an appropriate cover note. I have had both my home and car insurance with them for many years with no problems.
Considering your problems insuring the delivery and not to mention any problems actually delivering the consignment (I live in a fairly remote village with some very narrow country roads - I remember the enormous trouble I had last year just getting a sofa delivered from Ikea!) I have an alternative idea. There must be some way that I can sign the consignment over to you, you deposit the money into your bank account and then you can transfer the money directly into my bank account. I regularly transfer money from my current account to my savings account without even leaving the house! The Internet is a wonderful thing isn't it! You will of course take off handling fees for yourself. Isn't this the sort of thing that your company does all the time?
Please let me know what you think of my idea, it is a much better way to get the money to me, and you will even make more money for yourself! (Not to mention the reduced environmental impact!) This is a win-win(-win) situation! I am very excited to hear what you think.

These people were seriously desperate criminals to attempt to actually EAT fifteen million dollars in an attempt to escape arrest! I have to thank you most profusely for helping to bring them to justice. Can you tell me what has happened to the £700 I transferred to them to pay for all the legal paperwork and insurance?
But I have to be honest with you Mr Wallace, after this near escape at having all my money stolen I find myself somewhat suspicious in given out further details. I hope you understand, this is nothing personal, please do not take offence, but if I have learned anything from this it is that perhaps I am too trusting.

Dr. Steve Forum, I will advice you to forget about this people and money you sent to them ok, this is why I am here by to help you out ok, because this money that was requested for processing of this insurance certificate, is not up to £700, this will only cost you £469, all this has been happening so many time and this is why the Nigeria government approve for the IMF to investigate about any international fund transfer procedures.

Mr Bryl,
It is very easy for you to say that I should forget about this money, it was not your money! I am sure that £700 means very little to someone in your position who deals with millions of pounds every day, but £700 is almost a whole week’s earnings to me.
I can’t forget about this money Mr Bryn, but I understand that it is not your fault or concern. I will contact the Nigeria authorities myself to pursue the recovery of my money. If you can provide me with a case number or the name of the arresting officer then I am sure it will help greatly in speeding up the recovery of my money. Would you mind if I also give them your name as a contact? Your help is very much appreciated in this matter.
The other matter we need to discuss is the proof of your identity (and that of Emmanuel Frank Dafisu, whoever he is). As you have pointed out to me, there is a lot of this sort of theft and deception in your country, so you must understand my caution.
My own identity is clearly not in question as you obtained my name and email address from the consignment that was seized when those criminals were arrested, but I am sure can see that you could, in fact, be anyone. I appreciate your assurances but to tell you the truth Mr Byrn I was given similar assurances from the other men.
This point is very important to me. Can you think of a way to show me that you are who you say you are?

Mr. Burl,
I appreciate that you are working to get back my money, but let neither of us lose sight of those two implicit facts. This is my money that we are trying to recover, and it is your job, as part of the IMF, to help recover it on my behalf.
With regards to my printer I can inform you that the engineer called yesterday afternoon, and made various repairs, but needs to return today with a replacement part.
I have now studied the certificate in anticipation of completing it and I have a few questions/points of clarification:
1) You say that I only have 72 hours, by which you mean that the certificate expires after 72 hours (as it clearly states). Surely this period of expiry begins from the date of issue of the certificate - of which there is none. Presumably the 72 hours will begin from the date of issue which I complete as you have instructed me to do.
2) Why have the Court Registrar and Justice Audu signed and authorized a blank certificate? There is now nothing stopping me filling out any amount on this certificate - it has already been pre-notarised! Is this not a very dangerous practice? What if this certificate was intercepted by an unauthorized person?
3) Why could you not complete the certificate on my behalf? I do not understand why I have to complete it with details that we are both equally aware of? There is no space for my signature and nothing stating that it must be filled out by the recipient. If time is so vital a factor then perhaps you should fill it out to save all these unnecessary steps of emailing, printing, completing, scanning and finally emailing back?
4) Do I add the £700 that I am also owed onto the original £15m? Do I add on the £469 also or do I claim that back separately?
5) What do I put for "Purpose of Payment"?
6) Which date do we use for date issued? The date which the original fund was due to be transferred to me, or the date on which we complete and issue the certificate to the authorities?
May I remind you Mr Burly that I have an important job and a family and I can not spend every waking minute of every day - particularly over the weekend and directly following it - checking my emails.
May I further remind you that I am not an accountant or a lawyer, so I would appreciate it if you could try to simplify your language - I found half of your email unintelligible with it's twisting and turning legalese.
Finally, I will try to visit the Western Union office this afternoon, depending on my work and the engineer. If not I will go tomorrow as soon as I am able. I cannot for the life of me understand why you insist on using such an inconvenient method of payment. If we had used direct bank-to-bank transfer you would have the money in your account by now.
Yours,
Dr Steve Forum

Thank you very much for your understanding and co-operation with my well done job to your progress, my dear brother I am responding to your question:
1, You are not going to sign on this IRREVOCABLE PAYMENT CERTIFICATE, why because I made the authority to know that you have been scam before through one of this bad people that has been arrested already but the Nigeria police has been taking care of them, and I was advice that i should hold on for there investigation about this people that was arested the FEDERAL HIGH COURT advice me that i should keep on proceeding with you on how your fund will be in your position through legal procedures not for any delay.
2, Yes (72) hours, was giving to you for the submitting of this IRREVOCABLE PAYMENT CERTIFICATE, but due to your complain and explaination about your printer is bad I have putting the authority in notice about that, so you have today and tomorrow for this payment, and fill this CERTIFICATE for retuning back to me then I will submit it to the authority, for now I am making you to know that you still have just 24 hours for this payment better I will advice you to do that today.
3, You don’t need to fill in any amount of fund ok, because the authority has every of your details and amount that was approve to you, only there must be a verification after submitting this fill that you are advice to fill, like I fully understand that your total fund is £15m, so you don’t have to add any order money not for you to have problem when transferring, Dr. Steve, there is no way any order person will have this IRREVOCABLE PAYMENT CERTIFICATE, because this certificate was approve by the FEDERAL HIGH COURT OF NIGERIA.
This certificate can not be fill out by me, and you don’t have to sign on this certificate, because the FEDERAL HIGH COURT will receive this certificate after you fill and submit together with this payment of £469, then your will be in progress with your insurance certificate which you will sign and your details will be fill on this insurance certificate by the FEDERAL HIGH COURT, and this insurance certificate will be submit to the payment bank immediately for the bank to release the total fund of £15m, to your favor through any of this better way out that you advice the bank to do.
You don’t need to add this £700, you will only have to include the £469 that was request from you, I am giving you every promise that the authority has already in progress and I have promise to stand on your behalf that your £700, will be included by the authority as soon as the payment bank start there job for releasing of your fund to you ok.
4, you are going to put in the Purpose of Payment is (INHERITANCE) claim,
5, date issued STARTED by Monday which by Wednesday the (72) hours will be cancel off, this is why I am making you to know that you have just today better possible very early tomorrow morning, so I can proceed immediately.
With the now every action is in your hand better you act very fact for this payment, if this payment is not made I think the authority will cancel off your transaction.

Dear Mr Byld,
First of all I have to tell you that I am not at all happy with your attitude during this whole matter. Your emails are consistently brusque, pushy and extremely difficult to decypher. I did ask you to try to simplify your complicated legal language - at times it seems almost as though you do not understand simple English! I also asked you to stop sending me two copies of your emails which you seemed to have ignored.
Frankly I am astounded at the lackidaisical methods that the Nigeria government have adopted and that your branch actually seem to condone! You send out legally binding documents that begin expiring from the date that you email them with no regard or consideration that your clients may not be available to recieve them (people may be on vacation or business trips!). You also expect everybody has a printer and scanner at their immediate disposal. You have blank forms legally notarised and expect your clients to have to find and use a Western Union office even if it interferes with their own work schedule - which, I can tell you, it does!
Now, in the interests of haste I have completed the certificate. I have to apoligise for the quality of the print, it seems my printer is beyond economical repair, but you gave no margin of error to take account of such technical difficulies - or did you expect me to personally visit an office supplies shop and buy a new printer while I was out finding a branch of the Western Union?
Which brings us to the Western Union. Again you disappoint me. I would have expected you to warn me that there may be problems with sending money to Nigeria (and in fact half of Africa it would seem). I know you mentioned the prevalence of scams originating from your parts of the world (they are apparently called "149" or something) but you could have mentioned that I could well be called into the manager's office and interogated! I convinced him as best as I could that you were genuine, but they still insisted that you fill in the attached forms before they will allow any money to be sent to you. I found this very embarrassing Mr Buly - surely as part of the IMF you would be fully aware of these forms and I would even expected you to have filled them and sent them to be BEFORE you sent me on awild goose chase!
Attached are the forms that they gave me. You need to fill them in and send them back to be immediately so that I may still have time to go back to the Western Union office before this transaction is cancelled!
The ball is very much in your court now Mr Bryl.
Yours,
Dr. Steve Forum
PS. Please note that I have not filled in the Purpose of Payment as this was not an inheritance, but a diplomatic delivery as part of my overseas business interests. You are not filling me with a great deal of confidence!

Subject: Incompetence!
Sir,
Well, Mr Byrne, at least now I can now fully understand why your country is so rife with crime. Your entire governmental and financial infrastructure is so utterly complacent and incompetent that I am frankly surprised you still have a functional government at all!
Let me try and explain to you how things work in a sane country Mr Body. If the same person goes into the same Western Union to make the same payment to the same receiver that they have already flagged as potentially suspicious then they WILL STILL REFUSE TO ALLOW THE TRANSFER. Do you understand now?
Incidentally, how is Frank Datsun supposed to get from Nigeria to Dublin in Wales before the end of business today? It would be just as easy for him to meet me in London and collect the money in person. I think you are losing your grip on reality Mr Brayn. It would have been quicker and easier for me to deliver my payment to the IMF headquarters in London. Is there any particular reason you did not suggest this yourself?
You claim that filling in a simple two part form will waste more time then emailing me and hoping that I receive your email in time. Is there a reason you are refusing to fill out this form Mr Bydy? I am beginning to suspect that you have something to hide here.
You have plagued this process from beginning to end, giving me one delaying tactic after another. If the recovery of my money falls through then you rest assured that I will be holding you directly responsible. If a Regional Director of the International Monkey Fund is not able to put a hold on a relatively simple diplomatic delivery, then frankly Mr Bryan, I think you need to resign.
I think I will go myself to the IMF headquarters in London and see what I can about getting my case transferred to someone more competent.

Attention: Dr. Steve Forum,
This is to acknowledge the receipt of your email. In fact the content of your emails as contained here have been carefully perused but with some great sense of disappointment considering all the derogatory remarks you made therein which no doubt turned out to be a very big slight to me and the institution I represented,. So the authenticity of my office as it were should not in any way be questioned , more over I wish to let you know that for our office to have been located in Nigeria does not make us to be associated with what is happening in Nigeria. We are no doubt and independence monitoring body of International monetary fund and not in any way affiliated to Nigerian Government but just to represent all regionally body in Africa.
However the two forms you sent I have also acknowledged but I wish to let you know that it will be quite unprofessional and completely out of place for any one not to talk of mere western union to have made me or any of my staff fill in any form before any fee can be send to my office. We do not have any thing to prove to them but you and it is therefore in your place to look for an alternative means to ensure that this payments made. However the authenticity of my office as it were should not in any way be questioned , more over I wish to let you know that for our office to have incidentally been in Nigeria does not make us be associated with what is happening in Nigeria. We are no doubt and independence body and not in any way affiliated to Nigerian Government but just to represent all regionally body in Africa .
. In all honesty I would have reacted the same way you did if I were to be in your shoes considering the pains and misery you have gone through in the past but in this case you were very hasty in your conclusion without weighing the possibilities of you being in UK and making a payment via western union also in UK,
Bear in Mind that the medium by which you were asked to make this payment wouldn’t have really mattered to you but acknowledgement of the fee you were asked to pay and immediate service of delivery of your fund at the end of the day as may be expected. Even if my office were to be in United Kingdom , we would still not have had any reason to make you give out this fee in handy, NO! Due process must surely have to be followed for out record purpose and update.
Therefore I wish to correct this erroneous impression you made in your email as regards the so called delay tactics, even though I did not take that very lightly but I am obliged to let you know that the delays we have so far encountered in the course of this your exercise is not in our own making but rather it was the procedure of ensuring that due processes are completely observed to avoid any more repeat occurrence of any of those ugly experience of the past. So do bear in mind that you are in a safe hands and what ever measure you were asked to observe is indeed in your best interest. The only reason we are having all this stalemate is die to your inability to allow what may have transpired to you in the past be of the past considering the fact that there is no more future in the past because if you continue to approach this exercise with all this negative attitude as portrayed here, achieving the desired goal in your favor will certainly be a mirage.
My dear Steve, I do not have any other ulterior in this your exercise apart from ensuring that you confirm receipt of this your long awaited fund to enable you make up with all your losses of yesterdays, because it will be very callous and irresponsible of me to make you go through the same pains you went through in the past without any service delivery of your fund. . For Mr. frank Dafisu to be flagged suspicious by western union is also a surprise to me because I have not in any way find him related to any shady deal but for the sake of expediency I can still advise you to make the payment with the name of our protocol officer (JOE WELLS).
I do not want to dwell much on words here but wish to let you know at this juncture that we are not In way trying to be persuasive on you to make this available this little token because as the beneficiary you are at liberty to decide to which way the pendulum swings either to make or mar the safe passage of this fund to your account but I am being compelled to advise you thus because I owe it to you as an obligation to advise you on the. path to progress and enhance the immediate release of this fund to your nominate destination without any more delay.
Therefore I would finally advise you now to give us this benefit of doubt by creating an enabling environment to serve you better by going to another western union out let there and make the payment with the name of our protocol officer(JOE WELLS) to enable us have this desired goal achieve and put an end of this erroneous and negative attitude you have so far cultivated/ God helping you shall surely live to cherish this glorious moment all your life. I wait your god understanding and urgent action.

You seem to have misunderstood the situation. The forms from Western Union are not specifically directed at Frank Daisy or the International Monetary Fund but are a standard form issued against certain transactions. Apparently Nigerian scammers much prefer using the Western Unity to receive payments and there are certain kinds of transactions that raise suspicion.
The forms in questions are the Western Union's implementation of the requirements laid down in the various UK LAWS that are described on the form itself. They are a legal requirement in this country. It is irrelevant what you think of them, they need to be completed before payment is allowed. The fact you are going to any length to avoid filling them in - changing the receiver's country, name and Western Union office - does not lend with ANY confidence that you are genuinely representing the Intergalactic Monkey Force or my interests.
Fill out the forms and I will send the money (and if you want me to send to Joe Wells then I will need his ID as well).
Last chance to prove yourself.

Mr Shaw Jr Wallace Byrl,
Did you receive my previous email? Were you planning to respond? I visited the IMF offices in London and they were not interested. They told me that as the London office they had no jurisdiction in Africa and that I must continue to deal with you unless I have reason to make a formal complaint to the IMF Headquarters in Washington, USA. Do I have a reason to make a complaint Mr Bryl?
Please respond by the end of today or I will be forced to pursue my claim, and a complaint about your conduct during this case, through the IMF Headquarters.

FRAUDULENT TRANSACTIONS:
ATTN: Dr. Steve Forum
We have been directed to inform you that we have been monitoring all your contacts with some fraudsters/impostors on the internet that claims to be working for the Nigerian Government and the FBI and this agency which is HOMELAND SECURITY SERVICES AND THE CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY (CIA) has been on your aid in other to protect you from being prosecuted by the International Crimes Department by asking you to secure the FREE CITIZEN CERTIFICATE after the Clean Bill Certificate has been issued to you previously by the FBI as we have it here in our database but instead of you doing that you still continue you contact with the Criminals on the internet that claim to be working for the release of some fraudulent funds to you.
You are suppose to have been arrested earlier before now by the Federal Bureau Of Investigations following the orders that were given by the International Crimes Department, the Nigerian Government has been contacted on this development and they are also helping us in tracking down on the criminals that has been confusing you all this while.
So right now all you need to do in other to protect your image and that of your entire country is to get the CLEAN BILL CERTIFICATE as you have been warned because we are suppose to carry out the arrest on you today but due to the fact that some assignments was carried out by the fraud department of the FBI, it has been canceled and the new date would be announced later.
This is the final notification that i would be sending to you because we already have all your details/information and you ID in our database which would be forwarded to the WORLD COURT as your name has been enlisted in the WORLD SCAM RECORDS as a top 11 fraudster.
For the last time we are advising that you stop any further contact with any person or group of persons that claims to be working for the issuance of your funds because no such funds exist as far as we are concerned and the only funds that was entitled to you of which the FBI has been given the necessary order to necessitate the transfer is the compensation funds which is valued at the sum of $20million usd that was issued to by the Nigerian Government to compensate you for the embarrassment and insults to your personality which the Nigerian Fraudsters used your identity to dupe a German business man of a huge amount of money and which we are still investigating until this moment.
If you know that you really want to save your life and the future of your family, we are advising that you secure the FREE CITIZEN CERTIFICATE so that your name can be shortlisted from the fraudsters list which has already been submitted to the International Crimes Department and this certificate will give access to the issuance of your compensation funds.
We have also spread our networks to the following countries which are Australia, Canada, Africa, United Kingdom, Asia and Poland.
All the people that have their names in the list would be inset in our website any moment from now because we are charged to wipe away all the fraudulent transactions being held on the internet in which many people have lost their lives and properties.
So it will be better for you to update us on the actual date in which you would be able to make the payment of $100 Usd to the agency over there in Nigeria for them to issue the FREE CITIZEN CERTIFICATE to you because that is the only guarantee that would make us believe that your name and ID was really forged and not real as claimed because the German Business Man has contacted all the Crimes Agency on this matter and it was your ID that he has placed in all the Crimes Department for a search of you.
This Certificate will be attached along with the previous Clean Bill Certificate so that the attorney who is handling this process could get everything mandated as you have only 12hours to co-operate with this directives and this last Certificate as stated by the issuance department would cost you the sum of $100 Usd and this fees should be paid within a short while from now on.
The payment should be sent through either Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram Transfer with the below details:
Receivers Name: Christian Ogwude
Location: Lagos, Nigeria
Text Question: Urgent
Text Answer: Attention
Amount: $100 Usd.
The payment details should be sent once the payment has been sent and don't forget to include the Senders Name and Address and the MTCN NUMBER.
I HAVE ATTACHED MY OFFICIAL ID CARD BELOW FOR YOUR PREVIEW AND YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT THE ID WAS INCLUDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE/CONFIRMATIONS.
This is our advise to you and we do hope to get a positive feed back from you as soon as possible.

Agents Mark and Bourne,
Thank you for your email, let me assure you that I take its contents very seriously. However, there is a lot to take in all at once. If you will allow me I will attempt to summarise what you have told me to clarify that I understand the situation fully and correctly. Please tell me if I have everything correct.
First of all, I have been involved in a business deal, unbeknownst to me, with Nigeria con men. Those con men have then used my identity to further con a second victim (a German). Consequently my name has been entered on your database, and passed to the World Court, as one of the top 11 fraudsters in the entire world. This has resulted in a warrant being issued for me arrest, from the International Crimes Department, which has only not been executed because of your workload.
However, I now have the opportunity to have a Free Citizen Certificate issued in my name, for which there will be a $100 charge, which will then clear my name of all charges, and will further entitle me to compensation from the Nigeria Government.
As you can appreciate sirs, that is quite a lot to take in. I have several questions/clarifications that I would very much appreciate if you could answer as quickly as possible to help me understand the situation:
1) Could you please provide me with any and all of my details that you have on file, particularly my home and business addresses and a copy of my ID - before we proceed any further we should both be confident that I am the correct "Dr. Steve Forum" that you seek.
2) What is the name of the Nigerian scammer(s) that I am currently dealing with so that I can identify them among my many other foreign business partners and cease communications immediately.
3) You say that I have a prior Clean Bill Certificate issued by the FBI but I have no knowledge of this - on what date was this issued?
4) Who is Christian Ogwude and how can I be sure he is who he says he is? Please provide me with an email address for him so I can contact him directly to discuss the payment.
5) Similarly, I have the Identification of Agent Jason Bourne (thank you for that), could I also see the Identification of Agent James Mark who also seems to be handling my case.
6) Who is Agent Martin whose email address you seem to be using?
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Below are the fraudsters that you have been dealing with all this while and also the fake bank in which you were told that your compensation funds has been deposited in.

The Clean Bill Certificate was issued to you by our agency on the 7th day of October 2010 and that was exactly the date we started monitoring your dealing with the fraudsters in other to gather enough evidence of which we have forwarded to the WORLD SCAM RECORDS at this point in time.
Mr Christian Ogwude happens to be the account officer of the same agency/department that issued the Certificate to you and he is not regarded as an agent thus he is inclusive in this matter and that is the reason why his personal opinion is not required.
This three name are agent of this agency.
Agent Jason Bourne
Agent James Mark
Agent Martin
Agent Jason Bourne is charged with this same matter and that is the reason why you have his ID attached to the e-mail and Agent James Mark is the assistant in the office and his ID would not be sent because this matter is strictly on confidentiality between you and this agency in which Agent Jason Bourne is charged to handle the matter.
Finally Agent John Martins happens to be the agency's secretary and that is the reason why his personal e-mail address was used to send the e-mail to you.
I guess i have been able to address all your inquiries and right now you would need to get back to us as soon as possible so that your could be directed on how to secure the document immediately before the deadline given to you.

Agent Bourne,
Thank you for the further detail you have provided, I feel a lot more confident that you are who you say you are and I can confirm that I am indeed the correct person that you seek. Most of my details you have are correct apart from one or two typos, presumably from the thieves, as their English was not very good.
Let me explain the entire chain of events to you as you seem to have several key elements missing.
I was first contacted on the 7th October, as you say, by a Barrister Niculas James regarding a diplomatic consignment. This coincided with a genuine consignment I was expecting from the Kenyan Tourist Board for a promotional film I was commissioned to complete via one of my subsiduary companies. This Niculas James passed my to a Mr Jones Robinson who was part of Diamond Diplomatic Finance PLC the company handling the alledged consignment. I paid £700 to Mr Robinson, via bank transfer, supposedly regarding insurance certificates. Needless to say my consignment did not arrive.
Shortly after that on the 18th October, I was contacted by Mr Shaw Jr Wallace Byrl purporting to be from the IMF. Mr Bryl explained to me that Niculas James and Jones Robinson were in fact conmen who had stolen both my consignment and my £700 but that they had been arrested and he was trying to get me my money back. He wanted me to send £469 to Mr Emmanuel Frank Dafisu via Western Union. Luckily I never managed to pay them this money because the Western Union had certain safeguards (namely a form to fill out) that Mr Bryn consistently refused to complete. And then I was contacted by you.
Can you tell me what has happened to my £700 and my £15 million consignment? Is that consignment even real and if not I must also report my consignment from the Kenyan Tourist Board to be missing, presumed stolen (they assured me they had sent it and I have worked with them on several occasions in the past so I trust them completely). Were Barrister Niculas James and Mr Jones Robinson the same criminals as Mr Shaw Jr Wallace Byrl and Mr Emmanuel Frank Dafisu?
Now, regarding Christian Ogwude: I appreciate that he does not work for your organisation, but surely you must also appreciate that after my recent experiences I must be very sure of who I am sending money to, even with the recommendation of the CIA. I would like to be able to contact Mr Ogwude via email (as I may need to exchange documents and other items). For one thing I would like to negotiate a different form of monetary transfer. I have grown very untrusting of the Western Union system. But that is not your concern hence I would like to be able to contact Mr Ogwude directly. If you cannot give me his email address then please give me his job title and employer so that I can contact them directly to ask him for it myself. However, that will take time that we do not have Agent Bourne.

Agent Bourne,
I am concerned at your delay. It was you who told that my situation was time critical. I went to Western Union and they agreed with my caution. They suggested that I get some kind of proof of identity of Christian Ogwude at least before I send any money. An ID card can be faked as I we learned so the Western Union suggest an ID card of Mr Ogwude coupled with photograph of him holding an agreed upon pass phrase or item. This is why I need his email address Agent Bourne.
Please reply urgently, I am very keen to proceed to clear my name.
