Mr. Martins,

I did not mean to imply that you are from Nigeria. Nigeria419 refers to a scam that is running out of that country at the present time. Perhaps you have heard of it? I have begun to have my doubts about you because of the similarity between your picture and the picture in Mr. Beko's identification card. Furthermore you say that you are of Congo but your introductory letter to me says that you are from Lome, Togo. Therefore I mentioned the Nigeria419 to see if you would write me back or if you were involved in a scam. I am glad that you wrote back to me but I still require you to send me a picture of you holding my picture with the words "My Lucky Penny" below it. If you do not do this for me, how can I know that I dealing with the real Mr. Kwaku Martins and not a Nigeria419 scam artist?
