Email #1, from Pius Egoamaka:

Dear Sir,

It has come to the notice of the Anti-Corruption Unit of the Central Bank of Nigeria that you have been entangled in a web of scam/fraud concerning the claim of your contract/inheritance funds, which have resulted to you loosing huge sum of money to some corrupt CBN officials and scammers/fraudsters.

Presently, we have taken over all matters concerning your payment to avoid further loss of money by you to scammers and corrupt government officials formally designated to handle your payment. You are hereby warned that you are not required to make any payment to any CBN official for the release and transfer of your funds as such is an illegal practice.

All bank charges/fees are to be deducted from your funds prior to transfer to your bank account. It is illegal and a crime to send money to any CBN official for the release and transfer of your funds as that is not a standard banking practice here in Nigeria.

Confirm your bank account details and the amount owed you to confirm that we are dealing with the right beneficiary to enable us to process the transfer to your bank account.

Email #2, from Cameron McCaffrey (me):

 Dear Mr. <PRESIDIO_ANONYMIZED_PERSON>,

Oh, thank goodness! I cannot begin to express my relief at receiving your email. I’ll be honest, my experiences with the Central Bank of Nigeria have been quite distressing to date, and knowing that someone of your esteemed position is taking charge gives me a newfound sense of hope.

It is exceptionally comforting to hear that the Anti-Corruption Unit is now involved, as the web of deceit had become increasingly convoluted, and I feared I would never see the funds that are rightly mine. I’m glad that you’ve clearly outlined the correct procedure, and it is a huge weight off my shoulders to learn that I won’t be required to incur any further expenses to release and transfer my funds. This has truly been a learning experience regarding the pitfalls one could face with international financial transactions.

As per your request, I am ready to confirm my details to ensure we can proceed without any mix-up. However, as I’m sure you can understand given my previous experiences, I need to be absolutely certain that my information is handled with the utmost security and diligence.

Before I submit my sensitive banking information via email, could you kindly provide me with the following to establish a secure line of trust between us:

1. A direct telephone number I can reach you at for verbal confirmation.
2. The Anti-Corruption Unit’s official website and your professional profile within the Central Bank of Nigeria’s directory for validation purposes.
3. An encrypted form or secure portal through which I can safely transmit my banking details.
4. A photograph of yourself standing in front of a car, holding a newspaper with today's date clearly visible.

Once I have verified your credentials and the communication channel is secured, I’ll be more than willing to provide the necessary information to expedite the transfer process.

In anticipation of our swift cooperation, I remain earnestly hopeful. Thank you for your understanding and looking forward to bringing this unfortunate situation to a satisfactory conclusion.

Warmest regards,

Cameron McCaffrey

P.S. - If there are any preliminary forms of identification verification that I can prepare in advance, please let me know, and I will have them ready to expedite our transaction.
