Good morning Marcus,

I'm glad to see that everything is proceeding smoothly. As Imentioned, I get to use the office phone for unlimited personal callsso I don't have a personal phone. During the remodeling of our officethe lines used for our phones have been cut or rerouted so that ourphones aren't currenlty working. The FAX for some strange reason isstill working. The FAX number is (214) 821-0189. Of course you canalways contact me via e-mail. I check this account constantly.

Please keep me up to date on the travel arrangements as I will need tocooridnate this trip with my job. The time off shouldn't be a problemas I have quite a bit of time saved for vacation, but I am planning totake two weeks off for our new baby.

Will this buisness be profitable for the both of us? Marcus, let metell you that I wouldn't be talking with you if I thought differently.I look forward to meeting you and touring the Netherlands. Did youknow that Amsterdam has the ONLY port in the world where the Super oilTankers are able to dock?

Give my best to your family.

Sincerely,
emmett

Good afternoon Marcus,

Marcus is your first name correct? I understand your desire to getyour family out of Spain as soon as possible. Some years back I spenta year in Mexico teaching English at a University. As I was in a citynear the US border, I would drive up about once a month just to seethe street signs in English :)

Please without delay send word to your security company in Amsterdamto start the paperwork. I am still disposed to help you and yourfamily recover your money and get you out of the Spanish refugee camp.

I have talked this over with my wife and we are both quite excitedabout joining you in Spain. The 25% fee for assisting you is morethan generous and the 5% for expenses absolutly goes above and beyondall expected measures of kindness.

While we are waiting on the paperwork to process, I hope you and youfamily are able to learn a little Spanish. If you'd like I canreccomend some resources that might help you learn.

Sincerely,
Emmett

The 25% is meant for you in assisting me for the clearance and opening of account and transfering to any bank account that you will provide, 5% for your ticket money,and any other money spent with the customs, hotel accomudation  expenses.  And if these is accepted to you, please let me start the commencement of these transaction.

Hello Mr. Stevens,

 
Let me first say how bad I feel about your family farm beinginvoluntarily removed from your possession.

Now I must say that I am more than a little suprised to find myselfselected to help you.  It isn't every day that I am presented withsuch a great opportunity.

Just so as you understand.  I am an US citizen, so you will need toverify that I will be able to help you liberate the funds from theEuropean bank that currently holds them.  After that, I will be morethan happy to advise you in any fashion that you need assistance with.As far as real estate in Texas goes, well you have asked the rightman.  Later on I will need some details as to what you are lookingfor, but I have no doubt that we have just what you're looking forhere in North Texas.

As far as my contact information goes.  Currently my office is beingrewired/remodeled and a construction mistake has taken our phoneservice offline.  My employer allows the employees to use the officephones for personal use, so I have no home phone line.  Until therepairs are completed my phone use is VERY restricted.I do however have access to a FAX at (214) 821-0189.

I look forward to our relationship.

Take care and be well,
Emmett Merwin

My name is MARCUS STEVENS, the eldest son of Dr.Dennis Stevens from Zimbabwe. This letter might comeas a surprise to you about where I got your contactaddress and how I knew you. I got your address fromthe Spanish Trade/Information Centre in Spain.During the current war against the farmersin Zimbabwe from the supporters of our PresidentRobert Mugabe to claim all the white-owned farms forhis party members and his followers, he ordered allwhite farmers to surrender all their farms to hisparty members and his followers. My father was one ofthe biggest farmers in our country and because hestrongly opposed Mugabe's ideas, Mugabe's supportersinvaded my father's farm and burnt everything in thefarm, killed my father and made away with a lot ofitems in my father's farm.

Before his death, my father had deposited with oneSecurity Company in Amsterdam, Netherlands the sum ofUS$15.5 Million dollars (Fifteen Million FiveHundred Thousand United States Dollars). This wasmoney he planned to use in buying new machinery and toset up a new farm in Swaziland. After the death of myfather, we decided to escape from morocco border to spainbecause of continued harassment from Mugabe and his supporters.Presently I am in spain seeking for political assylum where Iand my two children now reside as refugee.

my new best friend Marcus

Today I just heard from my new best friend, Marcus Stevens.  Now my gram's last name was Stevens, so perhaps Marcus isn't trying to scam me :)  Marcus needs help getting his family fortune out of a Eurpoean bank and is willing to give me $3.9Million plus expenses to help him out. 

I will include my adventure with Marcus here.  Please comment and let me know what I should plan to do with my wealth when Marcus & James show me the money :D

Had to mention those nasty Nigerians

Hello James,

It is good to hear from you again.

As requested here is my FAX number:  (972) 821-0189My office is being rewired hence my phone is currently out of service.I hope that we will be able to complete the transaction via FAX & e-mail for now.

As for your question on how we should proceed to the end of thistransaction.  The first option (bank - bank) seems like the simplest,but if I recall correctly is the tactic those awful Nigerian scammersused to rip off thousands of Americans.  My wife and I have alwayswanted to visit Spain.  The second option would probably take longer,but I feel we should explore this option further.

Stay well,
Emmett Merwin

We're still on...for Spain?
