419 the 419 documentary makers

sent by me to 'documentary419@hotmail.co.uk', apparently an email address for a channel 4 crew making a documentary about the old nigerian 419 scam.

Hi there,

I heard about your upcoming documentary on interweb and was much interested in taking part. I have been involved in 419 scam for many years and my crew makes upward $25million since 2005. It is highly likely I could provide an insight of uniqueness to this program.

Of course you may ask why an individual such as me or my junior would help with this program. Isn’t this going to highlight a scam so well known for its prevalence that us operators are getting slimmer and slimmer?

Well, as I said, I have collected several millions of dollars and am now ready to retire. Unfortunately, for peoples of my religion, Nigeria is no longer safe. I have decided to migrate to the cold climes of United Kingdom. However, the political system in this country is such that I cannot get the relevant travel papers or get my money over to the UK. Over here, sometimes it isn’t what you have but who you have.

With this in mind, I will be happy to take part in your documentary would you invest in my return to the new UK? Bribing embassy afficials should cost no more than UK$10,000, and ensuring my retirement money is “clean” should be no more than 5,000. I can promise returns of up to 250% and a guarantee to show you tricks of trade like no other man left alive.

Please get back to me soon and remember, shhhh, “loose lips sink ships”.

Respectfully yours
Mr Graham Loe
Nigeria
