Dear Mr Edmond,

Thank you for your quote for legal services. Unfortunately, I will not be using your firm as your price for this service is far too high. I will be using my own legal cousel for this transaction.

Ms. Catulo, my lawyer from Divo in Sud-Bandama will be contacting you shortly.

Sincerely,
Harry Kameltow

Ah so here's where this is going. They want $1500 to compose a LETTER OF AUTHORITY. How boring. This one came from 41.207.195.104

Attn: Mr Harry Kameltow

Sir,

I acknowledge the receipt of your email concerning Mrs Maris Catulo inherited fund currently in the custody of RUFFLER BANK, LONDON which she has willed to you to be used for charity works. By introduction, I am Barrister Bofin Edmond, the principal attorney of Bofin Edmond Chambers & Associates, we are registered legal Attorney’s at Law, International Financial Lawyers and General Financial Consultants. We practice our legal profession here in Cote d’Ivoire ( Ivory Coast )

Subsequent to the receipt of your email requesting for our legal services in processing A LEGAL LETTER OF AUTHORITY from the High court to confirm your appointment as the rightful beneficiary of the 6.8 Million USD by Mrs Marie Catulo, we have visited the hospital this morning where she is admitted and consulted her to confirm your email. Although her health situation is very bad as she under gone surgery just yesterday, but we where able to get a satisfactory response from her concerning you and this inheritance in the LONDON bank, she confirmed you as the person she has appointed to inherit the fund and empowered us to proceed the transaction with you in good faith as her chances of surviving the sickness is very slim.

According to the ethics of our legal profession, we are mandated to conduct a thorough legal search in all issued concerning the 6.8 Million USD which her late husband left with the London Bank, to determine the legitimacy of the funds in order to make sure that we are not involve in a financial transaction relating to SCAM or FRAUD and the money is not in any way connected to Drug, Terrorist / Terrorism or Money Laundry. This is in line with international law of money transaction.

We have contacted RUFFLER BANK LONDON for proper verification, we have also verified the business activities of Mrs Catulo’s late husband to justify the origin and source of the funds, and we are pleased to inform you that our enquires and verification this morning has proved satisfactory. Mr J. W. NAIL of Ruffler bank has confirmed that they requested for the Letter of Authority to back up the inheritance claim of the money in your favour, and requested that they will need a copy of the original directly from my Law Firm for proper filing, and it must be send through Courier service.

Meanwhile, in order to enable us give to you the exact estimate for our legal services charges and cost of processing and obtaining the letter of authority. We have contacted the Court Clark and the Commissioner for Oath at the Probate Office of the High Court of Justice to determine the actual procedure to issue and approve a letter of authority meant for international proceedings and the actual cost for the legal stamp duty charge, approval fee, authentication and Notarization fees including the duration of the process.

Below is the breakdown of our legal services charges for processing a letter of authority from Mrs Catulo in your favour from the probate office of the High Court of Justice Abidjan Cote d’Ivoire .

(1) Our legal consultant Fee and Services charge : 500 Euros
(2) Stamp Duty Charge, authentication and approval fee : 450 Euros
(3) Notarization fee for a registered Notary Public : 450 Euros
(4) Courier Services Charge (DHL or FEDEX) to deliver one original copy to Ruffler Bank London: 100 Euros.

You are therefore expected send to us the sum of 1,500.00 Euros (One Thousand, Five Hundred Euros), so that we will process the Authority Letter. It will take 48 Hours (2 working days) for the document to be ready and another 48 hours for the original to be delivered to Ruffler Bank, London by Courrier services .

Hence, upon the receipt of this fee, (1,500 Euros) it will take a maximum of 4 days for Ruffler Bank to be ready to process and release your inheritance money. Copy of the Original will also be sent to you through email attachment which you will forward to Ruffler bank, London for confirmation of the copy we sent to them.

Due to the urgency of this transaction according to Mrs Catulo this morning, we advice you to use one of the fastest means of money transfer to send the money to us (MONEY GRAM).

The money should be sent through MONEY GRAM MONEY TRANSFER AGENT with this information:

We look forward hearing from you.

Other than the original phishing email, which came from 41.207.198.170, all the other email are coming from 41.207.194.137. Both of these IP's seem to belong to an ISP in the Ivory Coast. http://www.aviso.ci

Dear Mr Nail,

Please be informed that I understand the requirements for the transfer of funds.  I have a digital copy (scanned) of both my Danish Passport and drivers license as proof of my identity.   As is customary (and legally neccessary) in business in my country, before I can send you these documents I must see proof of your identity.   Please send me a digital copy of your bankers photo id.   As soon as I get it and check your identity, I will send you my passport and drivers license.  Please hooray Mr Nail, I fear the Miriam may not be with us much longer.

Signed,
Harry Kameltow

Now "the banker" wants a notorized letter from Maria/Mariam/Miriam and a copy of my passport or drivers licence.
