My idea for making MoneyFollow

To: Random Nigerian Email Addresses
From: Sir Peregrine Smythe-Elston. Elston Capital Enterprises UK
Subject: Commercial Opportunity

Allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Peregrine (although everyone calls me Perry)

I am a retired merchant banker with over 30 years experience in the City of London establishing off-shore bank accounts to help entrepreneurs and successful businesses avoid paying unnecessary tax. I have also assisted individuals and corporations keeping their liquid assets from prying eyes (shareholders, family members and Board Members) by placing sums of money in untraceable accounts in Liechtenstein, the Cayman Islands, Isle of Man, Switzerland and the Bahamas.

Last year I was fortunate enough to be approached by the widow of a Nigerian Petrochemicals Consultant. Her late husband had amassed a significant fortune (In excess of $14,000,000 US), but due to Nigeria's restrictive financial legislation was unable to access a penny!

I was touched by the injustice that despite her wealth, she was living in poverty.

I won't go into the technical details, but by allowing her to legitimately open an international account, we were then able to migrate over 75% of her husband's funds to an account that now sustains her in a luxurious lifestyle.

My initial investment of $50,000 US to open the account was not purely an act of altruism, as I negotiated a 1% fee. I have since helped 9 other people in the same way.

I understand a number of Nigerian citizens find themselves in similar circumstances to this poor lady.

If this does not apply to you, thank you for your time. You need read no more, and I wish you well.

If however you could benefit from an untraceable means of releasing locked financial assets, we may be able to help each other.

Please note that my service is subject to the following terms:

* My initial investment will be to an offshore bank of my choosing. I can not guarantee a particular host nation
* My initial investment will be limited to a maximum of $75,000 US
* I cannot guarantee to transfer the entirety of your assets, but to date I have released on average, 55% (less my 1% commission)
* Once the account has been established, we will only be able to acces the account on a "dual key" basis: I.e. we must both authorise any withdrawals
* On receipt of my 1% commission, I will authorise you to change the account to your sole control. You will then be able to change the account access codes and only you will be able to see or use the account.

I will only agree to create the hidden account once I am satisfied that you are acting in good faith. I will need to be reassured that the assets are genuinely your own, and not subject to any criminal investigation or commitment to any 3rd party.

As you will appreciate, I will need to take time to consider each proposal, and will therefore require a modest $50 assessment fee.

If you wish to explore this service further, please click here and complete the online proposal. The form is entirely anonymous and will only trace the IP address to verify that you are genuinely completing the form from Nigeria. (An Internet Cafe or Public Library will guarantee your complete anonymity.) The $50 fee is payable by Credit Card, but if you wish to conceal your identity I recommend using the Union Transfer option, or Paypal, after creating a separate Paypal Account under a less personal identity.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Regards

Perry

Needs to be written in broken Nigerian. You sownd wey too smart.

I always thought Pip or Pippin was the preferred nickname for Peregrine. But that may just be from my deep-seated affection for all things Tolkien.

My plan consisted of an old school bus, a bevy of hookers, a brick of hash and driving around to all the mining and logging camps in the region.

I guess sending emails to Nigeria works as well.
