Can't identify which currency that is but if it's from somewhere in central Africa, that lots probably worth £2.99...


Just enough to buy another Nest Box.

Current exchange rate for the Nigerian Naira to the pound sterling is 1 Naira to 0.0033 £....so I admit I may have been a little optimistic....

We print lots of our own "money" - no need for a third-party!

(Oh, sorry: My mistake - apparently we don't call it "printing", but "quantitative easing")

Sadly, I don't think the present government has a scheme where you can purchase "money" at a discount and have it delivered by DHL. I'd be very wary of dealing with a CEO named "Santos Nugs" though.....he sounds the sort of person who, if crossed, would quickly encase you in a holographic cement overcoat.....

Talking of discounted money, you've just reminded me we need to purchase some € for our forthcoming trip to Spain.

monitoring network that your over-due contract payment
which was fully endorsed in your favor accordingly by the
Central bank of Malaysia(Bank Negara Malaysia) has not been claimed.

It might interest you to know that we have taken out time

right to claim your fund without any further delay.
We further advise that you go ahead in dealing with the
Central Bank office accordingly as we will be monitoring all
their services with you as well as your correspondence at
all level.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs.
Joan C.Bailey from OHIO has already contacted them and also
presented to them all the necessary documentation evidencing your

the release of your contract fund valued at about $25million us dollars
only
but the Central Bank office did the wise thing by insisting on
hearing from you personally before they go ahead on wiring
your fund to the Bank information which was forwarded to
them by the above named Lady so that the main reason why they

Blimey, they just can't leave me alone today....

My Dearest One,
This is Miss Olivia Borrego from Trinidad &Tobago. I am writing from the hospital in Ivory Coast , therefore this mail is very urgent as you can see that I'm dying in the hospital which I don't know what tomorrow will be. I was told by my doctor that I was poisoned and has got my liver damaged and can only live for some months.
I inherited some money ($4.5 Million) from my late father and I cannot think of anybody trying to kill me apart from my step mother in order to inherit the money, she is an Ivorian by nationality.

I want you to contact my servant with this information below:
Servant Jonathan Walter.
Address: Rue De La Princess L /G 152 Cocody
Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire.
Phone Number: +225 678 240 66

He will give you the documents of the money and will direct you to a well known lawyer that I have appointed to him, the lawyer will assist you to change the documents of the money to your name to enable the bank transfer the money to you.

This is the favor I need when you have gotten the money :-

(1) Give 20% of the money to my servant Walter as he has been there for me through my illness and I have promised to support him in life. I want you to take him along with you to your country and establish him as your son.

(2) Give 30% of the money to handicap people and charity organization, then the remaining one is yours.
Note; This should be a code between you and my Servant Walter in this transaction "Hospital" any mail from him, the barrister he will direct you to, without this code "Hospital" is not from the barrister, Walter, the bank or myself as I don't know what will happen to me in the next few hours.

(3) The lawyer's name is Bar Rufus Allen . And Let Walter send you his International passport to be sure of whom you are dealing with. Walter is so little therefore guide him.

And if I don't hear from you, I will look for another person or an organization.

Please do not forget to contact Jonathan Walter
May Almighty God bless you and use you to accomplish my wish.
Pray for me always.
Miss Olivia Borrego


I like the "I'm dying in hospital and don't know what tomorrow will be"....I want to reply and say, "it's Saturday"....

Took 'em long enough to realise.

There's still the same overall feel to the writing and story and still a stupidly large amount of money supposedly available.
