MY DEAR LINDA:

I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN MY HOME BECAUSE USMAN BELLO AND UMBERTO LOOPER KNOW MY 
HOME ADDRESS. USMAN BELLO CALLED ME AND THREATENED TO SEND HIS MEN TO MY HOME 
TO MURDER ME IF I DO NOT SEND HIM $100,000. 

I WILL FEEL SAFE ONLY IF I KNOW THAT STATE POLICE HAVE SHOT AND KILLED BOTH 
USMAN BELLO AND UMBERTO LOOPER. I HAVE GONE INTO HIDING IN A SECRET LOCATION. I 
WILL SEND YOU E-MAILS BUT I WILL NOT GIVE YOU MY NEW CELL PHONE NUMBER UNTIL I 
KNOW THAT BELLO AND LOOPER ARE DEAD.

AS SOON AS YOU SEND ME THE NEWS THAT THE POLICE HAVE KILLED BELLO AND LOOPER, I 
WILL COME OUT OF HIDING AND WILL SEND YOU THE $25,000 FOR THIS TRANSACTION. 
PLEASE USE YOUR POWERS WITH YOUR GOVERNMENT TO SEE TO IT THAT THESE TWO 
DANGEROUS CRIMINALS ARE KILLED.

Dear Linda:
 
I have just returned from Amsterdam. I met Mr. Bello and he wanted me to pay 
$65,000 for Vectrol paste to clean all of the money I saw in the trunk boxes. I 
told him I was going to the bank to get the money. I was able to escape from 
his men by calling to three policemen who happened to be on the street at a 
call. Bello's men fled and two of the policemen gave chase. The policemen shot 
and killed the two men who worked for Bello. The story did not make the papers 
as the case is still under investigation. Bello somehow managed to escape. 
The police told me that Bello was doing what is called "wash wash" and that 
he is a 419 fraudster. I was conned out of $5,000 but at least I have my 
life. 
 
Swanson
 

11/12

dear Harold,

 
Be noted that i have given you all the advice that you needed to be given as a brother you are to me.and we can not sit down and watch you been deceived by somebody.
Mr.Usman is a frauster and is now under the investigation of the police because he is using the name of both the governments and other in lieing frauding people.
I told you all that you have to do. why can't you contact and write to the Security Company and tell them what is your mind.they will listen to you and advice on how this money will be brought right to your destination and you will collect it.
 
Note that even the US$5000 that Usman collected from you he did not summite it to the security company,he want on and lavish every thing that was why i decided to do my thing by myself with your help.
 
If you can only listen to me i assure you will not regret it at all,but if you refuses to listen to me and continue with Usman and others know that you are going to weep in the next future because they are just going to fraud you up.with this i hope you can understand with me is better you write to the Security Company immediately.
 
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
 
Linda.

Dear swanson.
 
now make a decision i have been telling you about this fraud stars but yet 
nothing contact the financial home now i need your help.
  
linda

11/15

Linda:

You have asked me to make a decision. My decision is to not have anything 
whatsoever to do with you as I suspect you are Usman Bello's wife. I say this 
because you somehow have my top secret e-mail address and the only other person 
who was able to get it was your husband Usman Bello.

Swanson.

 

11/16

dear harold,
 
many thanks to you for your email of today, in fact you made me surprised by the kind of word that you said to me.
Why should you say that i am the wife of Mr.Usman while i was trying to tell  you the truth and also help to avoid spending your money on necessary.
 
Note that at the first place i told you that this consignments is mine and i told Mr.Usman to help me with it and at last i came to find out that he is playing a joke and wanted to cheat me and then i decided to do it my self.It was then that i contacted you and you told me every thing.
 
God in heaven knows what i am talking about.You are the one delaying this transfer because the security company is there to help you but you will not listen i told you that you should not even go and meet Mr.Usman but you went there and did not hearken to my voice.
 
Because of the fraud all over africa we no more know the people that are good people but i pray that God will grant you understanding so that you will understand that i do not have anything bad in mind against you.
 
Right now they have asked you to pay a huge amount of money before this fund will be transfer to you but the only money you have to pay is just about US$15.000 so that it will be used to process the documents including the Drug Certificate which will make this very transfer safe and free.
 
Note that it was the security company that explained all this things to me when i was asking them to explain things to me so that i will also explain to you in other that you will not have a double mind.
 
Right now i want you to beleive and accept with me that i am not the wife of Mr.Usman and please do not misinterpret me.just because of the fraud in africa i moved the consignments from Nigeria to Lome-Togo for a safe keeping.
 
Mr.Usman is a frauster and what he did is called 419 it have been announced right in our office but still i want you to keep this as a secrect until we finish this business and i promise you that very soon you are going to see me and will believe with me.
 
Hope that you will understand with me but i will still like you to write to the security home for them to transfer this fund out so that all this will be over.pls try as much as possible,had it been that you listened to my warning you would have not seen this kind of thing but all the same God is in control.i will like you to contact the security home and tell them that you want this fund at least by the end of this week.
 
Hoping to hear from you soonest and your coperations.
 
regards.
 
Mrs.Linda.

11/16

Mrs. Linda:

Thank you for your letter. I am now convinced that I made a mistake and that 
you are not Bello's wife. You were right when you said that Bello wanted a huge 
amount of money. He sent me an e-mail today and said he needed $125,000 from me 
in order to free $45,000,000 from the account of Mrs. Miriam Abacha, the wife 
of the late Sani Abacha. Then Mrs. Abacha sent me an e-mail and said for me to 
send her $80,000 by tomorrow or I would lose the $45,000,000.

I did not send any money to Bello because he is a 419 fraudster as you said. I 
think I should send Mrs. Abacha money because the $45,000,000 belongs to her 
late husband. However, I am not sure if it is you or Mrs. Abacha who controls the fund in the 
trunkboxes at the security company. You also say that you need only $15,000, 
but Mrs. Abacha said that $80,000 was needed as follows:

$20,000 -- Drug & Terrorism Certificate
$15,000 -- Tax Stamps
$45,000 -- .1% bank transfer fee

Mrs. Linda, I don't know who to believe because I have never met you or Mrs. 
Abacha. I want to get my share of the money and can send you $15,000, but I 
need proof from you that you actually control the fund rather than Mrs. 
Abacha.
Please advise.

Dear harold,
 
thanks for your urgent reply.I can see that you are now been tricked by this
people i swear to you Mrs.miriam Abacha and Mr.Usman are all the same people
and i do not know why you are not believing me.I told you that you should just
try me and you will not regret it.
 
Never you mind those people and remember that this was exactly what i was
telling you before and you did not listen to me.why should you trust Mrs.Abacha
and Mr.Usman.If you like go on and send the US$80.000 to Mrs.Abacha and you
will see what they will do with it.
 
I have told you that the normal money that you have to pay is US$15.000 only
and below are what they are for:
    US$6000 -- Drug & Terrorism Certificate
    US$5000-- Tax Stamps
    US$4000 -- .1% bank transfer fee
 
and that is all.you just contact the security home and they will confirm your
fund to you because this fund is already with them and if you do not pay this
little money you will loose this fund.i was thinking that by this time you will
have written to the security home and asked them how you are to make the
payments to them so that they will get ready to transfer this money to you.
 
I am warning you again do not pay any money to any body the box containing
this money is here in Lome-Togo and remember that this people are fraudsters
and never you believe anybody who is a Nigerian.
 
I have adviced you it is left for you to comply with me and see if this fund
will not be transfer to you.I am the one that is controling this fund.
 
Write to the security home and ask them how to get this fund immediately,so
that you will arrange how to make the payments of the US$15.000 by tomorrow and
then expect your fund at least by Friday morning.
 
hoping to hear from you and ones again thanks for your understanding fror
very soon every thing will be alright.
 
Regards.
 
Mrs.Linda.
 

Mrs. Linda:

I sent Mrs. Abacha and Mr. Bello a copy of your note and now they say they will 
do their deal for only $8,000 and they say that I can believe Nigerians but not 
Lome-Togoians like you.

Mrs. Linda, I don't who to believe. I like you and want to help you, but I have 
a better deal at $8,000. So now I have two deals to consider and theirs is 
$7,000 less than yours. Can you cut your price and we can do the deal today by 
WU? Please advise as I want to conclude one of these deals as soon as possible. I 
need the money.

Swanson

Mrs. Linda agrees to do the deal for $4,000:

11/18

Dear Harold,
 
many thanks for your mail and that shows your concern towards this transaction.but you are offending me in a way that i do not like.You see people of this days you never hearken to ones voice execpt when you fall into the very situation which may destroy you.
 
I told you that this people will scam you,i know Nigerians very well they are all trying to deceive you to collect your money from you but i can not stand and see them do that to you.you are so precious to me.
 
I went to see the Security Home concerning your demand for me to cut the price and they said out of the US$15.000 you can pay US$4000 first for them to transfer this fund to you then after that you can pay the remaining one.
 
Mr.Harold you are to know that this people are fraudsters and with what you have witness with them why can't you believe me.It was the same Mr.Usman that tried to kill you in Amsterdan and collect your money from you,but you excapt it.Mr.Usman and Mrs.Abacha are just the same group of people they can never do any thing for you at all.
 
You can go on and pay the US$4000 immediately through the WU so that by tomorrow your fund will be transfer to you immediately.
 
Note that you can just used my name in sending the money:
           Mrs.Linda Rowland.
 
Hoping to hear from you soonest,may God grant you undersatanding and wisdom.
be fast so that we can conclude this deal as soon as possible.
 
regards.
 
Linda.

dear Harold,
thanks for your mail and how are you today?I received your mail last week and 
was trying to reply you back but the message was unable to go due to failure
deleivery.
Since you said you only have US$1000 send it so that i will complete it 
and then go and get the ANTI TERRORISM CERTIFICATE and let the fund be 
transfer to you immediately.i have already gone to the bank and apply for
a loan so that i will use it and complete the US$1000 that you are sending 
then i will make sure the money is transfered immediately.
You know i want us to do this business and this is my last hope to take care 
of my children that my husband left behind.And i want you to put more of your
effort so that by tomorrow you will send the money.
I hope you will get to understand with me.and send the US$1000 immediately 
through the WU with this name:MRS LINDA ROWLAND.
hoping to hear from you soonest.
regards
Linda.

Next, Harold falls into 
bargains Mrs. Linda down from $1,000 to $75.00:
My Dear Linda:

I am very ashamed of myself and have bad news. As you know, my Uncle Otto is 
very ill and I have had to spend a lot of money on him. 

I was so depressed and sad last night that, rather than turning to God and 
reading his Word as contained in the Authorized King James Holy Bible of 1611, 
I turned to alcohol. 

There I was in the tavern full of demon rum when a painted woman, a harlot, 
approached me and offered me her charms and company for the evening. I was weak 
in the flesh and soon found myself in her embrace in a cheap hotel. 

I am not proud of myself and have repented before God this morning with tears 
in my eyes. Worse, and for this I beg your forgiveness, I spent almost all of 
my remaining $1,000 on my foray into Satan's den of iniquity last night. What 
happened was that the harlot offered herself to me for $200. However, when I 
passed out in the hotel from my drunkeness, the woman went through my pants and 
stole all of my money.

All I have left is $75.00 that I had hidden in an old coffee can on top of my 
refrigerator. I am repulsed by my actions and my irresponsibility towards God 
and you. 

Mrs. Linda, if you can forgive me I will send you the $75.00 tomorrow morning. 
I called WU today and they said I can send you the $75.00 but I need to know 
what country you live in. So if it is okay with you, I will go to WU tomorrow and send you $75.00. 

Let me know. I am really sorry, but I have had a hard time of things and just 
fell into Satan's snare. We are all sinners before God and I hope you can find 
it in your heart to be merciful to me. 

Harold Swanson
Mrs. Linda goes into denial and thinks $75.00 is $750.00:

Dear harold,
thanks for your mail.pls i am tired of all this things,why can't you think 
about this our business.I am putting all my effort in this business but you 
never mind.all you do is given me unnecessary excuses.

Ok since i have already gone to the bank for a loan,you can go on and send 
what ever you have.i mean the US$750 so that i will complete it.
 
The reason why i am doing this is that i want us to do this business fast so 
that this fund will be transfer to you urgently and i will come 
for my share.
 
So you go on and send this US$750 immediately so that i will go and collect 
it.us my name below:
MRS.LINDA ROWLAND.
This time i think there will be no more excuse so just go and send the money.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.
Linda.
Harold sets Mrs. Linda straight: It is $75.00 and not $750.00: 
Dear Mrs. Linda:

I don't have $750.00. All I have is $75.00. 

I will not have more money unless I can get a loan or sell one of my cars. I 
wanted to send you $75.00 as a good faith token until I can get some more 
money.

Do you want me to send you $75.00 as a good faith pledge?

Swanson
11/24
dear harold,

have you send the money.if you have send it write to me immediately and give me the control number so that i will go and get it from the WU service in our area here in Lome-Togo.

Then i can go and get the certificate ready so that the fund will be transfer out in 24 hours.

you are to be quick you know time is agianst us,i beg you in the name of the Lord God Almighty.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.

dear harold,
 
I think this is the last time for all this jokes,why can't you be seriouse for a while and let us do this business quick and get our money. I went to the bank today to get the $75.00 that you said you sent but unfortunately they told me that no money was there.What is happening with you.pls tell me something quick i need this money by tomorrow since i have already got the loan from the bank.
From which country did you send this money from,and what happened.why did you deceive me.Enough of this Joke if really you are seriouse send this money by immediately to me.
 
hoping to hear from you soonest.

Linda.
 
 
Dear Linda:

It is a holiday here in the US and the WU office is closed. I looked at my form and the WU clerk spelled your last name as "ROLAND" instead of "ROWLAND" so it was WU's fault. I called WU on the phone and cancelled the transaction so that nobody except you can get the money. I will re-send the $75.00 tomorrow.

Please stop yelling at me all the time. I do not know why you are such an angry person. You are so quick to judge others. Jesus said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone," and I feel like you are always trying to dead me with rocks because of my sin.

Please stop being so mean to me. I am just an imperfect human and I try to love others as Jesus tells me to do. I already feel bad enough and whenever a mistake gets made you are mad at me. Why are you such a mad person? Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your personal savior? If not, I can help you find Jesus in your life.

God Bless You,

Harold

dear Harold,
thanks for your mail.please all that i have to say now is that send this money so that i will go and collect it by morning.
already it is night here in lome-togo.tell me the country which you send this money from.
and also re-send to me the control number and others.
 
thanks and hoping to hear from you soonest.
 
Linda.

I ignore Mrs. Linda for a few days and so she writes to me for the $75.00:

dear harold,
why are you now keeping calmed on me.Have you forgotten what we discussed about the payments and sending of the little money.Send back this money immediately please.
 
Please i need to hear from you urgently if you have send that money.
 
Hoping to hear from you soonest.
 
Linda.

Harold writes a mewling letter back to Mrs. Linda:

Dear Mrs. Linda:

It is a holiday in America and the WU office near my home is closed until Monday. I gave the $75.00 to my mother to hold for me so that I do not spend it on drinking at the tavern. My mother was very mad at me for having had $1,000 stolen by a prostitute.

Mrs. Linda, you are a woman and so maybe you can help me with advice. What can I do so that my mother is not ashamed of me? Nothing hurts me more than having my mother be upset with me.

Your friend,

Harold

Dear Harold,

thanks for your mail.please all that i have to say if for you to make sure you send the money first thing on Monday morning before it will be too late.

For the advice never you be doing things that will make your mother angry when ever she remembers it because we women do have a kind hearted heart and we are always annoyed when we see our child misbehaving.

So be very careful with your mother and never try to provoke her.

Remember to send this money and what of the car you saidyou sell $5000 and send the money by next week have you sold it.

tell me something but do not forget to send this money.

Hoping to hear from you soonest.

Linda.
