Two Nigerian fraudsters have been jailed for a total of 37 years
following their conviction for involvement in what has been described
as the biggest scam in the West African Country's history. Emmanuel
Nwude was sentenced to 25 years imprisonment and Nzeribe Okoli to 12
years imprisonment after they plead guilty to conspiring to defraud a
Brazilian bank of $242m (£141m). The duo will also forfeit $121.5m in
compensation to victims of their scam, which resulted in the collapse
of Sao Paolo-based Banco Noroeste.

A third fraudster, Amaka Anajemba, who was jailed for two and a half
years after agreeing to pay $48.5m in compensation. The crooks milked
millions from staff at the Banco Noroeste by offering huge commissions
in return for brokering a non-existent construction contract to build
an airport in Nigeria's capital Abuja.

"The activities of the accused persons not only led to the collapse of
a bank in a foreign country, but also brought miseries to many innocent
people," said Justice Joseph Oyewole, Reuters reports. The convictions
are the first by Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission
(EFCC), established two years ago to combat the country's burgeoning
trade in email scams.

EFCC said it has arrested more than 200 email scam suspects since 2003,
secured a dozen convictions and confiscated property worth $200m. ®

Dear esteemed friend.

My name is Emmanuel Nudwe and I am presently in jail, however, I have
in a bank in Lagos the sum of $150 Million US dollars. This is your
golden opportunity to become rich. I need your assistance to help me
transfer this money from my bank to an offshore account. I need to do
this quickly as the evil corrupt governor and warders of this jail are
planning steal the money from my account.
I'm expecting them to start torturing me any day now to get my bank
account details.
If you can let me have all of your bank account details, I have an
accomplice on the outside who will transfer the money to you
immediately. You will then be required to transfer the money to my
Swiss numbered bank account, less of course, your share which is to be
$20 million US dollars.

Don't let this once in a lifetime chance to become a wealthy man pass
you by.

Please find it in your heart to help a brother in distress and get rich
at the same time.

Time is of the essence.

box.

Dear Mr S. oothsayer.
You have cut me to the skin and bone, tears well in my eye. how COULD
you doubt my bona fide sincerities. I offer you a chance to become
wealthy and you treat me, an honest man, like this! I languish in a
filthy cell because of a minor matter and you take the chance to make
racist remarks about my ancestry. Why do you show the insincerity way
to my honest proposal. Life is so unfair. I hope you can search your
heart and recant your hurtful words.
..

The money awaits you, make haste, be quick.

Yours faithfully

Emmanuel Nudwe Esq
