So, I’ve been exchanging emails with my new friend in South Africa for about a week now. I’m pleased to say everything is going well and I am guaranteed to receive $500,000 as soon as he receives my payment for the courier service of $550. Sounds like an excellent Return On Investment to me.

Atten:

So that’s where we stand. But, thanks to the marvels of the internet, I’ve found a blank Western Union receipt, and just filled in the missing parts! Wonderful stuff.

 

I sent the above image as an attachment with the following email:

Dear Alex,

I am so terribly sorry for my long delay. We have been suffering some awful power failures over the last week that have prevented me from using my computer. I’ve now lost over £200’s worth of frozen food from my freezer and I just do not know what to do anymore.

I thank you for the link of branches you sent to me. I went into the one not far from my daughter’s house while I was visiting, but even they had no power. It has only now come back on so I write this to you as quickly as I can in case it goes off again. I presume the “MTCN” is the Money Transfer Control Number? This field is blank on my form but I assume that was because the shop had no power??

My computer is old (as am I), I hope the scan is legible. I have done all that you asked. Do you know when the courier may arrive now?

SENDERS NAMES: Winston Smith
SENDERS ADDRESS: xx Marsden Road, Eastbourne, East Sussex, BN23 7DJ

 

 

MTCN (10 DIGITS) CONTROL NUMBER:

SCANNED COPY OF WESTERN UNION SLIP: I hope I did this right. See attached?
AMOUNT SENT: £375 GBP ($550 USD)

Yours Sincerely,

The Other Me I so hope to hear from your good self soon. I am truly in a pit of despair at the moment.

 

Endless hours of fun!
