Brethren,
I have attached a 14-page Research Document submitted by Cormac Herley of Microsoft Research, based on Mathematical and Statistical Analysis of
 Nigerian 419 Scammers.
I believe you will find this analysis most educative, and I will welcome your contributions to this discussion with special emphasis on the relevance of Estimation and Modulation Theory in this research document, and the use of Applications and Theory of Cryptographic Techniques in Nigerian 419 Transactions. 
The best reply received, will win a very substantial prize. – Bankole Ososanwo                    Ha, ha, ha, ha ha.
