Immediately these pre-application requirements are
met,the CRP of which I am the chairman will validate
the claim and the application for payment proper will be made
to the accounts/audit division of the FMW&H for the
approval of the sub-contract of the entitlements to your company.
All these are directly under our supervision. Immediately the approval is given by
the FMW&H, you/your company becomes a legal creditor/beneficiary to the FMW&H to the tune of the
contract amount (US$17M) and your payment file is moved to the
Federal Ministry of Finance(FMF) for the Foreign Exchange Approval
Order to be issued by the Exchange Control Division of the FMF. This
is necessary since the payment is not in our local
currency (Naira) but in a foreign currency (US Dollars). From
the Exchange Control Division the payment file is moved to the
International Remmittance Office(IRO) of the FMF for final payment
processing.
This is the endorsement (signing) of the fund
release documents i.e
(1) The Foreign Payment Order
(11)
International Payment Receipt
(111) International Payment
Voucher.
At this point, you are expected to come personally to Lagos
to endorse the final fund release documents, witness the telegraphic
transfer of the funds to your account and reconfirm your account
particulars or collect your solar bank draft/certified cheque, as
the case may be.If for reasons of tight business schedule you can
not come to Lagos, you have a choice to retain the services of a
local Attorney accredited by the FMF to perform the endorsement on
your behalf or you deal with the finance Ministry yourself which I
prefer. Also in privileged circumstances, your fund release
documents can be endorsed in any of the Debt Reconciliation
Committee(DRC) offices in Europe, America, Asia. For any option
chosen, 48-72 hours after endorsement the funds will hit your
account by swift telegraphic transfer, or you can receive a solar
bank draft drawable in any Federal Government of Nigeria
correspondent bank worldwide, or make application for cash payment
in Lagos or any of the DRC offices. Let me know the option most
suitable for you.
The above is the breakdown of our master plan for
success, 100% risk and hitch free and everything will be done legally and perfectly. Note that to safeguard our
common interest, a legally binding agreement will be entered into between us showing that the funds moving to
your account are contractual sums and also a vetting approval will be issued by the office of the Attorney
General of the Federation vetting the funds against drug or laundering sources. With your unwavering
assistance and co-operation and following our instructions religiously This transaction will be
concluded within 10-14 days.
May God bless you,
Kasah James

This is our response to that unsolicited scam
letter
Dear Kasah, or whatever your real name is:
I hope that this response doesn't come to you as a surprise.
Perhaps you didn't know that I am an expert in 419 scams, and your
letter is a classic 419 scam. I can smell these things a mile
away.
I love Africa and Africans. Please stop harming your economy by
causing any more people to distrust Africans. There would be
businesses willing to invest, but they are turned off by illegal
schemes like yours. I know that this is the way you can make some
excellent money off the gullibility, neediness and outright greed of
Americans, but the long-term effects to the African economy are
terrible.
I am not against you. If we met in person, we probably would have a
wonderful conversation. I really do hope that you turn from your
illegal ways. Please use your obvious talents and creativity
for things that really count.
Check out -- http://www.freemaninstitute.com/419.htm
-- Please tell everyone else in your 419 network to stop sending me
scam emails.
Thanks,

not want to dent my image as one of the dirctors.
This transaction I am asuring you that is 100% scam free and it is
with ultmost good faith.which will be
benefitial to you and I. It is unfortunate that in my country, civil
servants are not allowed to own foreign

So if you are interested I will appreciate it,
otherwise no problem.

Our 2nd response to Kasah
Hello Kasah:
Perhaps you did not read the extensive information we have compiled
exposing 419 scams like this. Please take the time to read
everything thoroughly -- http://www.freemaninstitute.com/419.htm
Several associates of mine have actually traveled to some of the
main scam centers in London, Spain, Amsterdam, Toronto, Atlanta,
Dallas, Nigeria, Togo and Ghana. Together we have smoked out every
trick in the 419 scam book, including the sending of real bank
drafts stolen from real accounts.
The main thing that has been astonishing to me is the bold-faced
lying and the way folks use the name of the Lord to promote the
confidence game. Plus, it has always been strange the way it always
comes down to sending money to 419 scammers to pay for this or that.
it's always about the money to be sent to you. Both you and I know
this is true.
If I were to be just another gullible or needy American, you or
another partner in crime posing as a broker or something else, would
ultimately explain to me that there have been some extenuating
circumstances that require me to send you some money for a "special"
unforeseen certificate, a 1% fee for a brokerage house or something
else. That is the bottom line.
In fact, here is a challenge -- I can arrange to have a special bank
account, with no money in it, set up especially for this experiment.
Let's see how long it takes before the "ask" part of the
419 game is
implemented. Plus I guarantee that there will be no actual money
transferred. You do not have $17 Million. Nor have you ever had $17
Million. Most everyone I have met in Nigeria (most of whom are
absolutely wonderful) make about $25-$30 a month.
We love Nigeria and Nigerians. We have traveled to Nigeria and
actually have worked with many government officials regarding
leadership training. We mean no harm to you. In fact, we would
probably have a wonderful
conversation if we met.
You can be honest with me about this scam. I will not reject you.
Regards,
xxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxx

anything, except $200

My dear friend,
The content of you mail is quite understood. I would if you
are interested in this transaction prove you wrong, that it is not a
scam. I am not disputing the fact that so many miscrants in my
society do not engage in this nefarious and illegal activities and
have succeeded in spoiling the name of our great nation. My good
friend, I still must let you know that this is a scam free
transaction.
Like you made mention of in your latter, you could open an account
for this transaction. If you are interested all you need to do is to
send down the following: your full names company name and addres
telephone/fax number
So that these will be used to register you as a contractor who has
actually executed this contract in the past and was not paid. And
has finally come back for payment.
My good friend I must tell you honestly speaking that the only
finanacial obligation you have to meet if the payment of about $200 for courier service charges, which will
be used to send you the finnal fund release document so that you can fill and return back.
If you are honestly interested then you can reply to let me know. Or
you could give me a call on my direct number a better explanation. I will be expecting your
positive responed.
God speed.
ENGR.KASAH JAMES.

Our 3rd Response
Hello Kasah:
Thank you for your email. Here are some points in response to your
statements:
1. The money you are offering is clearly tainted and if one does
enter into an agreement with you, it is with the knowledge that this
is illegal money -- not yours to give.
2. If one does enter into an agreement with you and
nothing happens after sending you $200, there is quite a strong
moral high ground upon which you can stand. Most people get mad and
then claim they are going to get you in trouble for scamming them
out of $200. You can then counter with, "Go ahead and try to
get me in trouble for scamming you out of your $200. I will show
that you were fully knowledgeable about the illegal funds and still
went forward with the transaction. If you press for legal action, I
will fry you with your greed and complicity in this
transaction." This usually causes the threats to subside and
they go away. You are free to scam someone else.
3. $200 to you is a handsome sum for sending merely
an unsolicited email claiming to have millions of dollars to give
away. This scam only costs you the little amount it takes to go to
the local Internet cafe and pay by the hour. And it's easy to send
out many scam letters in an hour. It's like going fishing. Sometimes
you get bites and sometimes you don't. But you have mastered the art
of the confidence game. There are greedy and needy "fish"
(suckers) out there all over the world, just waiting to be scammed!
No thanks. First of all, I would never send a you a penny for any
reason and secondly I would never involve myself with illegal money.
Furthermore, it is curious, at best, that you can't come up with the
$200 to make this multi-million dollar transaction work on your end.
I am telling the truth and you know it. Come clean with me about
this scam. I will not reject you. I am truly interested in hearing
your story. The truth. Come out from behind your veil. You don't
have to tell me your
real name, just tell me the truth.
Regards,
xxxxxxxxxx

just say it.
Thanks.

Our 4th response...
Hello Kasah:
Thank you for your correspondence, but no thank you. Our ongoing
research has always indicated that when certain elements are in
place, it's a scam. Your proposal and subsequent correspondence fits
the classic 419 profile. When you are ready to tell the truth, I am
ready to listen. Your true anonymity will be retained.

------- WHAT CAN BE DONE
ABOUT THESE SCAM ARTISTS? -------
Not much. We don't want to sound fatalistic, but the
reality is that the scam artists hide behind untraceable email
addresses, sending their scam letters from pay-by-the-hour Internet
Cafes. The governments of Africa are generally in a survival mode,
with little interest in dealing with some Internet scam artist in a
local village. There are always bigger fish to fry.
Plus we have actually talked with West African
government and business officials about their perception of these
419 scams. They have expressed amazement that anyone could be fooled
by the empty promises contained in emails from a stranger in
Africa. In their eyes, the culpability goes both ways. "Who
could be such a fool to give money to someone they have never
met?" This is a valid question for all of us to ponder...
What we have done at The Freeman Institute is to
provide a free service to warn individuals who may be flirting with
the idea of great wealth coming their way. Our motto is: Run, don't
walk, away from these scams and then do what you can to warn people
about this pervasive problem. Feel free to provide a link to www.freemaninstitute.com/419.htm
-- so that more people can see the truth about these 419 scams.
