COLONEL THORN CROSSES OVER TO THE DARK SIDE

PAGE TWO

Dear BA:

 
Please call me Zule now that we are friends. I am busy with colleagues who are handling a certain matter in Manila, ja?
Please give me until Saturday or Sunday to be back in contact with you fully. Is time sensitive matter I must conclude quickly in Manila.
 
Anderson couple, the wife, she went to doctor and has female problem. May delay trip a few days, but not serious. You send me e-mail address for Andersons to contact. How I set up? What name I tell them they are contacting and for what reason? Is bank director? Need context of story. I have been writing as Contracts Director of NNPC. I give you other details when we talk.
 
My new story from "NNPC" I write to Andersons is that Russian financier (who is me) whose name is Vladimir Stoyanicha, has paid already $175,000 in fees for option on 900,000 bbls of Nigerian crude @ $30.00 barrel to sell at $41.25 bbl on spot market. I tell Andersons they can also have 33% position in this deal for $75,000 and he sends me money today to my account as NNPC Director. Is good, ja? I send him already contracts that are in laptop. He has signed forms and sent them back to mail drop I have estbalished in Lag where I have comrade already working.
 
Judy Smythe has the $3,000,000 hidden somwhere. She is real thief. She double-crosses Mr. Drinkwater and disappears with money and Lourdes La Palma. Mr. Drinkwater begs me to call. So I call. He says "Colonel you must get money back. I make terrible mistake and I paid you $250,000 for apology. So now, please get back $3,000,000 and I pay yoU 15% reward."
 
For me, I saw it coming. I had men follow Judy Smythe. Will get back money and settle score with her. Three days tops I have this matter handled. I work fast and have no mercy for my enemies, ja? Maybe I even find Range Rover and ship it to you via Cotonou! I put it in container if I find it and send it over there. I can give it Russian papers of origin, no problem.
 
So please, you are not BA? What may I call you? I don't need real name, but we no longer need "BA"? BA is dead anyway. I tell Mr. Drinkwater he is alive and went into monastery to get off heroin. LD say okay. We may need "BA" later so we keep him alive, ja?
 
Do Svidaniya,
 
Zule

The Colonel and the Lad start to get chummier and even compare notes on Lionel Drinkwater. As a scambaiter, it is interesting to use this ruse to get inside the mind of a 419 con artist. I know from triangulating with another scambaiter colleague who is also working him that he lives in Lagos but travels to Cotonou in the Benin Republic. My colleagues and I also think he is part of a syndicate. We next see that he uses the name of "Mark" -- perhaps because some conmen call victims their "marks"? The lad still wants the Range Rover:

ZULU,
 
I AM MARK, OKAY IT GOOD SETTLING SCORES WITH JUDY. I WILL BE HAPPY IF YOU CAN GET THE RANGE FOR ME. I HAVE REACHED MR. DRINKWATER FROM BAR. WILLIAMS ASKING FOR THE MY $25.000. I TOLD HIM TO PAY $8,500 FIRST WITH A FRIENDS NAME IN COTONOU HE ASKED FOR EXPLAINATION WHY HE SHOULD PAY TO THIRD PART I EXPLAINED TO HIM. THEN I WANT TO REACH HIM FROM BISHOP ABERNATHY E-MAIL BOX I ASK FOR THE $50T OR $95T HE SHOULD PAY TO A BANK A/C. WHAT DO YOU THINK.
YOU CAN TELL HIM TO CONTACT ALHAJI IDRIS AHMED OF CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA ON THIS E-MAIL
ahmedidris@presidency.com, THEN TELL HIM I AM INCHARGE OF PAYING HIM. HE SHOULD CONTACT TO CONCLUDE ARRANGEMENTS ON THE PAYMENT. HE SHOULD RE MEMBER TO COPY YOU. YOU HAVE TO TELL ME THE TOTAL AMOUNT TO PAY HIM AND ALSO SEND ME A COPY OF THE FORM HE SIGN SO THAT EVERY THING WE GO IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN DOING.
I HAVE CONCLUDED WITH THE BANK PEOPLE THEY WILL RECEIVE HIM THERE AND THE SITTING WE BE OKAY.
WELL TILL WE SEE.
 

MARK

 
Lionel replies to Mark aka Michael Williams demand for money using a trick I call the "obscure currency angle." The angle works this way: Essentially, you keep saying yes to the lad and then when he asks for the money, tell him you will mail him a cheque in an obscure currency. Drinkwater Island uses the currency of French Tahiti which is Comptoirs Franзais du Pacifique Francs (symbol XPF), or the Pacific French Franc. Lionel offers to pay Williams in XPF. Lionel uses this opportunity to remind the lad how his greed cost him the $25,000 and the Range Rover because we have to keep that wound open and bleeding in this fight. Lionel also conveniently erects other hurdles as you will read:

Dear Mr. Williams:

The official currency of Drinkwater Island is the Comptoir (Tahitian French Franc - currency symbol XPF). I will be mailing your designee a certified
cheque payable in XPF for the amount equal to USD $8500. Please give me a mailing address and I will send via DHL. Officially, I cannot pay this
amount as you were named in a criminal charge for filing a false claim against the Estate of my Uncle Calvin.

Although I declined to press charges, you are still on file with the FBI as a suspect foreign national as is James Chume. I will warn you that should
you ever attempt to enter the USA or its possessions, you are subject to arrest for having knowingly filed a false claim. Although I did not press
charges, the FBI considers your actions a criminal matter and maintains a file on you and Mr. Chume. So a word to the wise: Do not go to the USA. This matter exists because my Uncle Calvin was a US citizen and his Will was probated in the USA.

I was trying to help my friend Mr. James Chume receive $25,000 and a Range Rover when you jumped in and filed your own claim. Had you not filed a second claim using the same signature, Mr. Chume would have been awarded $25,000 and the Range Rover would have been shipped to him.
I am surprised that Mr. Chume still has anything to do with you. I am only dealing with you because I owe Colonel Zule Thorn a favor. By the way, his name is "ZULE" not "ZULU" as you have written. I will warn you that the Colonel does not like to be called "ZULU" even by mistake. Please try to use the proper form of his name or you will anger him -- and you do not want him mad at you. Colonel Thorn is not someone to anger
or cross.

You will have to accept my cheque in XPF and then have it converted in Benin. I will not be responsible for conversion fees. Where would you like
me to send the cheque? Do not ask me to use WU or a wire transfer because this is an unofficial transaction. I can process the cheque through my own bank and this will protect the anonymity of the transfer.

Regards,

Lionel Drinkwater
 

Zulu? Yikes! "Mark" does not want Zule Thorn mad at him and offers a quick apology. He also asks for help with this damn XPF thing as XPF is probably very difficult to get converted in Nigeria or the Republic of Benin:

DEAR ZULE,
 
SORRY IS LIKE I MISSED SPELL YOUR NAME THE OTHER TIME.
PLEASE MR. DRINKWATER WANT TO SEND MONEY IN XPF CURRENCIES (DRINKWATER ISLAND CURRENCY) I DO NOT KNOW HOW I WILL CONVERT IT.
DO YOU ADVISE ME TO COLLECT IN THAT CURRENCY OR INSIST ON BEEN PAID THROUGH WU.
BYE I WISH YOU LUCK ON YOUR MISSION.
MARK

 

Comrade:
 
Is Tahitian French Franc and is legal currency. You have any French banks where you live? French banks convert XPF. Otherwise, ask LD to send you gold coins. Sometimes he pays me in gold coins and I sell gold. LD can also pay you in equipment such as laptop computer or jewlry. He paid me in Rolex watches sometimes. I have four Rolexes he paid me with for some work I did. He has paid me in digital cameras, airplane tickets, rare watches, ect.
 
LD gets bribes and gifts from the wealthy clients that come to his island. He gives most gifts away to pay people and he keeps his money. On Drinkwater Island, LD is god and law unto himself. Very powerful people fly to Drinkwater Island because they can use drugs, have mistresses, gamble, have orgies, do whateever.
 
One man, a CEO of big American company, is like to have prostitute fuck him in ass with dildo. I film whole thing secret. LD keeps in case he ever needs. I have films of everything. Is big whorehouse on Drinkwater Island with beautiful women. Much perverted sex goes on and all is filmed.
 
Mr. Anderson should be contacting your bank soon. Come over to Lag soon.
 
How can I be sure I can trust you and your comrades? What is to keep you from shooting me? How we establish trust quickly?
If you say "No worry, is honor among men," I take your word. But know I have people to help me. I want to bring over two friends to be with me. I pose as Russian financier and they pose as bodyguards. I have diplomatic passport. I want your guarantee of my safety, ja? You must give promise. I come over and meet your Don. We have drinks, dinner, shake hands as men. Is how it works. Trust. I buy house in Lag with guards, maids, servants. Have already much money. I need luxury mansion, please tell me: How do I buy fortress mansion in Lag? How much money for such home?
 
If jobs goes good, I not retire. I do more jobs with the rich people I know from Drinkwater Island. We can get them to Lag and take $500,000 or more from each. If they complain, I have films of them in sexually deviate acts. Is good plan? I make list. I know 24 very rich people who come over to Lag if I invite them. We can do it all in maybe five months and get rich. I need Nigerian partners and we do 50/50. Is even. Has to be even.
 
Do Svidaniya,
Zule

Williams, whom I have found to be quite a pompous ass, replies to Lionel with a very arrogant letter:

DEAR SIR,
 

WELL I HAVE DECIDED TO ACCEPT THE CHECK IN XPF, BUT IT WILL BE FOR $25,000 AND SOME ADDITION FOR THE CONVERTION MARGIN. SO THAT I WILL HAVE NO NEED TO REACH YOU AGAIN. THANKS AND BYE.

 

MR. EZEUGO LAWRENCE UGO
NO34-36 CARRE ZOGBO,
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
TEL NUMBER-229-98-80-72.

 

THE ABOVE ADDRESS SHOULD BE USED INCLUDE THE TELEPHONE NUMBER. PLEASE SIR SEND ME THE DHL INFORMATION TO ENABLE ME TRACK IT.
 

THANKS AND BYE,
GOOD LUCK AND GOD BLESS YOU.

N.B. JUST USE THE NAME AND ADDRESS AS IT IS I WILL CLAIM IT.
WILLIAMS
 

Lionel will not be trifled with in this presumptuous manner:

13 March 2004

Dear Mr. Williams:

I beg your pardon, but the amount for which you asked was $8500. How dare you tell me that you will take $25,000. You are in no position to dictate terms to me in this rude manner. In any case, I have drawn a cheque for 830,020.13 XPF, which is the equivalent of $8500 USD based on today's conversion rate as follows:

8,500.00 USD United States Dollars = 830,020.13 XPF
Comptoirs Français du Pacifique Francs
1 USD = 97.6494 XPF 1 XPF = 0.0102407 USD

You will have to pay all conversion costs. Further, I will not pay money or send money to a third party. I do not know this person:

MR. EZEUGO LAWRENCE UGO
NO34-36 CARRE ZOGBO,
COTONOU-BENIN REPUBLIC
TEL NUMBER-229-98-80-72.

I have made the cheque out to your name -- Michael Williams -- and will send it by DHL to your law office, the address of which you show on your letterhead as:

Michael Williams & Associates
Attn: Barrister Michael Williams
II Carri2. Zugbu-Cotonou
Republic of Benin

My attorney advises me that I should not pay a third party because I do not know this person. He may be a terrorist or a drug dealer. I cannot afford to risk sending money to persons unknown to me. I do have your name on file, and although you are on the FBI's list, my attorney tells me that as you have not been convicted of any crime, I can pay you legal fees that pertained to my Uncle Calvin. However, I have to pay you by your legal name and at your legal address. So please disabuse yourself of any notion that I will pay any of your associates money.

This is the best I can do given all that has happened. My Uncle Calvin never liked you. He liked your friend Mr. James Chume, but he never trusted you. He believed that you were in a voodoo cult of some sort. I have no idea about that, but I do know that I will not accept your demand to be paid $25,000. This is nonsense and I will not tolerate such nonsense. Perhaps people do these things in your country, but they do not do such things in the West or here in French Tahiti.

On a related note, please get the idea out of your head that Colonel Thorn can somehow compel me to send you or Bishop Abernathy money. I had one of my friens call Colonel Thorn and straighten him out about the matter of respect. Frankly, Colonel Thorn is having problems with the Russian Mafia. The Colonel apparently owes the Russian Mafia some money and he is being forced to work for them on various assignments until he has repiad them his debt. This debt was caused by the Colonel's mistress and this matter is not my problem. I myself have no problems with the Russian Mafia and we are on good terms. The Russian Mafia likes Colonel Thorn, but he has to work to repay them. I do not know where the Colonel is, but I have deduced that you have spoken with him because he was insisting to me that I must pay you money. I owe the Colonel a favor and so I am sending you the cheque to your law office.

I had spoken to you earlier about helping me to get Bishop Abernathy out of the country. According to Colonel Thorn, Bishop Abernathy is in a monastery in Africa somewhere on a heroin treatment program. The Colonel will not tell me where he is. I am mad at the Colonel, but he says he is protecting Bishop Abernathy from my wrath. This is not true. I simply need to know some information from Bishop Abernathy.

This information is very important. The Bishop has a small book with him and I need to know what is in the book. The book is called the "CCP" book and is very valuable to me. Frankly, if I can get the CCP book, I will not even need to see Bishop Abernathy. I will pay $50,000 USD for the book. If you need money, then find a way to get me the book. If the Bishop doesn't have it, then Colonel Thorn has it and he is lying to me. He says he does not have it, but he is the only person besides me and the Bishop who knows about it. I have offered Colonel Thorn $50,000 for the book, but he says he wants $1,000,000 and that is ridiculous -- and also proves that he knows where the CCP book is hidden.

Regards,

Lionel Drinkwater
 

What I am doing is forcing the lad to stick to his story. He has given me a fake name and a fake address -- but Lionel doesn't know this, and so by God the cheque is going to this name and address in XPF: Take it or leave it!

I once had a lad chase around Lagos for three weeks looking for a bank where he could exchange the equivalent of $45,000 or so in XPF. He begged me to send him USD and even offered a discount. He begged me to send USD by WU and I said FU. Actually, LD got in a plane crash flying to another island to WU money, for DI has no WU office. That story is in the Richard Ndlovu scambait. So now my lad has XPF being DHL'd to his fake name and address. Whatever will he do??? Poor mugu

"Mark" next assures CZT that Nigerian 419 con artists never double-cross people and that  CZT is perfectly safe coming to Nigeria with a lot of cash and no bodyguards. One consistent strategy of the lads is to make sure their victims are alone. In other scambaits I have mentioned bodyguards and the lads always flip out and protest that my characters are safe and that armed bodyguards will only cause problems -- which they will for the lads. How can you rob a person with armed bodyguards?

COMRADE ZULE,
 
ONE THING I HAVE TO ASSURE OF IS THAT WE NIGERIA'S DO NOT DOUBLE CROSS PEOPLE, WE AR EIN THIS KIND OF GAME BECAUSE OF THE HARDSHIP HERE. I WILL ADVICE YOU NOT TO COME WITH TOO MANY PEOPLE FOR A START BUT WHEN YOU SEE WHAT THE SITUATION IS LIKE THEN YOU CAN BRING MORE PEOPLE.
BUT I WILL ADVICE TO COME FIRST WITHOUT BODY GUARDS THAT WILL RAISE EYES ON YOU.
IF IT TRUST I THINK I SHOULD BE AFRAID OF YOU WITH YOU EXPIRANCE AND CONNECTION NO BODY CAN THINK OF DOUBLE CROSSING YOU.
TILL WE MEET YOU WILL KNOW THAT I AM MORE SWEET THAN YOU IMAGIN. PLEASE TALK TO MR. DRINKWATER TO PAY ME THE MONEY SORRY BUT I AM DOWN NOW I NEED MONEY BEFORE YOU ARRIVE.
HOUSE HERE COST FROM $100,000 TO $400,000 DEPENDING ON THE LOCATION YOU WANT.
BUT THAT WILL BE TILL YOU COME WE DRAW OUT PLANS AND MAKE SWEET MONEY.
I WILL ASK MR. DRINKWATER TO SEND ME THE CHEQUE AS WILLIAMS. THEN PLEASE IF YOU CAN TALK TO HIM TO SEND THE OTHER ONE AS BA.
PLEASE I WILL WANT TO COME AHEAD OF YOUR CLIENT. SO THAT WE WILL PERFECT ARRANGEMENTS BEFORE THEY ARRIVE.
BYE MARK
 
Hallo Mark:
 
I spoke with LD and is he wants to pay you with XPF or goods. You like laptops or watches? What can you sell for money?
He can even send you automobile via Benin. What kind of automobile you want? Problem is with American FBI. LD owns bank
and BA and Chume now are characterised as criminals due to fraud. This places limits on what LD can do as banker.
He cannot send WU or USD as situation is monitored by computers.
 
Send me shopping list of goods worth $50,000 that you can sell for cash. I can have friend fly in private air cargo plane to Lag. You would pick up from airplane at night.
 
I will not bring bodyguards when we meet. I come alone we meet in lobby of motel. Anderson women is still ehaving female complaint. Some problem with her private parts. Mr. Anderson wants to come alone, but I say no. We need both as my feeling is woman is easire to get money from.
 
Russian you can trust. We are very loyal to friends and brutal to enemies. Is good partnership Nigerian and Russian, ja?
What tribe do you belong? Igbo?
 
Do Svidaniya,
 
Zule
 
Mark answers: Blah, blah, blah, make my life easy and get me USD. Send Anderson man now all by himself. Send more money. I am a lazy goddamn thief, etc:

MY DEAR BROTHER ZULE,

 
 
I WILL SAY I TRUST YOU, CAN HE GIVE YOU THE MONEY FOR ME, IF NOT LET ME GET WRITE OUT THE LIST OF ITEMS, BUT CASH BETTER, IF YOU CAN HELP ME CONVERT XPF IN DOLLAS OR ANY OTHER CURRENCY THAT IS MORE ACCEPTABLE.
THEN LET ME KNOW SOONEST. YAH I AM IGBO, HOTEL LOBBY OKAY WITH ME.
I WISH TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST. LET MR. ANDERSON COME ALONE HE WILL COME AGAIN THEN HE CAN COME WITH WIFE.
PLEASE THE AMOUNT HE IS COMING AS FEES AND THE AMOUNT SHOULD BE PAID. I NEED MORE INFORMATION.
PLEASE I NEED MONEY SOONEST, IF MR. DRINKWATER WILL SEND TO YOU THEN YOU COME WITH IT TO LAG.
THEN WHEN I AM HOPING TO RECEIVE YOU.
I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST.
 

MARK

Mark then sucks up to Lionel after behaving like an ass in his previous letter to our Mr. Drinkwater:

DEAR MR. DRINKWATER,
SIR I AM SORRY IF I SOUND RUDE BUT I DO NOT WANT TO BE RUDE TO YOU.
YOU DO NOT CONTACT ME TO HELP BISHOP ABERNATHY MAY BE IT'S YOUR FRIEND MR. JAMES CHUME YOU CONTACTED HE IS ALSO A LAWYER AND A MAN OF GOD BUT HE IS NOT INTO FULL TIME PRACTICE. WELL IF YOU WANT ME TO GO AFTER BISHOP ABERNATHY AND GET THE BOOK FROM HIM THEN FIRSTLY I HAVE TO KNOW THE COUNTRY HE IS IN AFRICA, THEN YOU WILL PAY ME SERVICE CHARGES IN ADVANCE FOR TRAVELLING AND HOTELING. I WILL ALSO NEED BISHOP ABERNATHY CONTACT AT LEAST HIS EMAIL ADDRESS.
THEN WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE PAYMENT ITSELF, $50.000 IS TOO SMALL FOR THE TASK.
WELL IF YOU HAVE SEND THE CHEQUE TO MY OFFICE PLEASE LET ME HAVE THE TRACK NUMBER.
THANKS FOR WHAT YOU HAVE DONE SO FAR BUT I WILL PLEAD WITH YOU TO RECONSIDER YOUR STAND AND PAY BE MORE.
THANKS AND BYE, TILL I HEAR FROM YOU,
BEST REGARDS.
WILLIAMS
 

Lionel sends Williams a long letter in which he says 1) Judy Smythe is missing and feared murdered or kidnapped in Manila, and 2) He can pay Williams by sending a new laptop. What I am trying to do is to imply that Colonel Thorn has gone after Judy and the $3,000,000. I am also setting the stage to see if the lad can accept murder by his partner-in-crime and yet still be so evil and greedy -- and I mean evil in the banal sense of which Hannah Arent spoke --  so as to ask for a laptop for himself when he in fact has an idea that his partner Thorn may now be a murderer. Drinkwater also trolls the lad with $50,000, this to see if "Mark" will wheedle or blackmail CZT to get the $50,000 from Lionel. These are the sort of diagnostic tests I like to run on a criminal mind now that I am directly engaged with one in this scambait:

Dear Mr. Williams:

I have no idea where Bishop Abernathy is at the present time. I was asking if you could use your influence with Colonel Thorn to locate Bishop Abernathy. I cannot contact Bishop Abernathy's e-mail because he has not answered his e-mails in perhaps four weeks. At one time he was using the
(deleted) e-mail address and then Colonel Thorn took that address over and locked me out. I asked the Colonel to allow me back into that e-mail address but he refuses.

I now have further employee problems as Mrs. Judy Smythe has disappeared in Manila. There was a great deal of money that Mrs. Smyth stole from the Elohim Society and that money has also disappeared. Mrs. Smythe initially blamed Colonel Thorn for the theft but then investigators proved that Mrs. Smythe stole it. Also missing is Mrs. Smythe's Range Rover, laptop, cell phone, credit cards,
wallet, and other effects. The authorities in Manila fear she has been kidnapped or killed. I am sick with grief and heartache over Mrs. Smythe and Bishop Abernathy.

Yet I can see no reason in paying you $50,000 USD as you have no idea where the Bishop or the Colonel are at this time. I need a detective and you are a barrister. Please, no offense is intended but I need a detective and not a barrister to help me now in this, my hour of darkness. So unless you have details on the whereabouts of Colonel Zule Thorn or Mrs. Judy Smythe, I do not need your services at present. I may, however, require them in the future. You seem to me to be a very reasonable man and I do not see why my Uncle Calvin would have thought you to be in a voodoo cult. He was troubled by nightmares before he died and I saw one of your e-mails wherein you said that his bad dreams would continue if he did not pay you and so this is why he thought you were a voodoo priest. This was a terrible thing you said to a 93 year old man who was near death, but I will be charitbale and forgive you as Christ our Lord instructs me to do. Let us put this matter behind us and allow my Uncle Calvin's spirit to rest in peace in Heaven with the angels of God in the presence of Christ.

I have not yet mailed the cheque for the XPF to your law office. I have to fly over to a nearby island on Monday on business and so I will send it from the DHL office on that island on Monday. If you would prefer, I can send you a alptop. I have here a brand new DELL laptop with a Pentium M processor that someone gave me as a gift. I do not need it. It is worth $3000 USD and it has all of the latest features, a very large capacity hard drive, two batteries, a carrying case, a power cord, and a wireless mouse. It has Microsoft XP and is loaded with other software such as Adobe Photoshop, Microsoft Office, and so forth. I can send this laptop to you and reduce the money by the equivalent of $3,000 XPF. I can also send you a new stainless steel Rolex sailing watch that is worth $5,500. If I send you the watch and the laptop, there will be no need for a cheque. Please advise. Of course, this computer is made to operate omn 110V current and so you would need to purchase a power converter. I have several power convertors here. I can include a convertor if you tell me what your service voltage is in Cotonou where you live.

Regards,

Lionel Drinkwater

Before Williams can reply, CZT sends Williams this chilling newspaper clipping:

Comrade:
 
Is now interesting news in a newspaper in French Tahiti:
 
 
 
ZT

Williams' reply to Lionel Drinkwater and shows that he is evil in the banal sense. The murders that CZT is apparently implicated in matter not at all to Williams. All the lad wants is the DHL tracking number for his laptop and more laptops if Lionel can send them. The lad also lies completely about knowing the whereabouts of Bishop Abernathy, this in hopes of getting some money from Lionel for knowing the whereabouts of a man whom he knows to be dead because CZT told Williams that Bishop Abernathy was dead:

DEAR SIR,

YOU CAN SEND ME THE LAPTOP, IF YOU HAVE MORE OF IT I WILL APPRECIATE HAVING THE LAPTOP.
WELL I DISCUSSED WITH ZULE HE TOLD ME WHERE BISHOP ABERNARTHY IS FOR NOW BUT HE REFUSE TO TELL ME WHERE
HE HIMSELF BUT HE TOLD ME HE WILL ALWAYS GET IN TOUCH WITH ME. BISHOP ABERNATHY IS IN NIGERIA RIGHT NOW.
WANT ME TO LOCATE HIM AND WHAT AGAIN WE WANT ME TO DO FOR YOU WHEN I GET HIM. BYE SEND ME LAPTOP AND CHECK, THEN TRACKING NUMBER. BYE, TILL I HEAR FROM YOU.

GOD BLESSINGS.
WILLIAMS
 

Lionel agrees to send Williams the laptop but offers more administrative hurdles to doing so. At the end of the letter he drops a bombshell:

Dear Mr. Williams:

I will send you the $3,000 laptop and XPF in an amount equal to $5,500 USD, the value of
both items totaling $8500. I have one problem, however, and I need your help. I have a
special password on the new laptop and I am required to register the XP software as the new
user. What name do you want me to enter as the person who is the registered owner of the
laptop? And what password do you want me to enter?

You can change both the user name and password when you receive it, but I am required
to register the laptop prior to shipping it internationally. This is a new 911 law which prohibits
the shipping of new laptop computers and cell phones to users in Africa and the Middle East without
stating a "user name" and "password" for Customs clearance with my DHL freight broker in Europe.
The same rule applies in the USA. Please provide me with a name so I can register this laptop
and forward it to you. It is very frustrating with all of these new 911 laws, but there in nothing
I can do except to obey the laws.

I would like to know where Bishop Abernathy is. The Elohim Society pays him a yearly stipend
of $16,000 and he has not filed the paperwork for 2004. I will pay for his heroin treatment program
if he needs help. I paid $12,000 for his heroin treatment program last time. I want to help him
and I also need the CCP book. Please tell Zule that I need the CCP book and will pay $50,000.
The CCP book is an urgent matter and Zule knows all about it. I am surprised that he has not
sent me the book as he agreed.

Tell Zule that there is shocking news: Judy Smythe was murdered in Manila by Mafia gangsters. Her friend Lourdes La Palma was also murdered. Their bodies were found this morning in a ravine outside of Manila. The $3,000,000 is also missing. This is terrible news and I am stunned. May God rest her soul. I have told the authorities all I know. Judy Smythe stole the $3,000,000 and it attracted the attention of criminals who now have the money. Tell Zule that there is no use for him to go look for the money because it has disappeared into the hands of criminals. I now have the sad duty of burying Judy and Lourdes and of telling their respective parents what has happened.

Sometimes there are so many problems that I want to give up everything and move out to the west Texas town of El Paso or out to badlands of New Mexico. It was there that I once fell in love with a Mexican girl named Felina. But I must abandon my past when I was a wild young cowboy and accept my God-given duty to govern my people and small country with truth and justice.

Regards,

Lionel Drinkwater

 

Let us review the obstacles I have presented to this persistent thief: I first used the WU "banned list" on him and sent him the WU form required to get an exemption from the banned list. He absolutely refused to fill it out so that ruled out WU.

I then had Lionel tell him that he, Lionel, would not send money to any third party he did not know as they may be terrorists or drug dealers. Lionel0 said he would only make a cheque payable to the lad and the lad agreed. This was not surprising, for he must have connection that will cash a check that is drawn on a real bank even if it has a phony name. His bank will also accept XPF and so he cam convert currency. I didn't think he would take a cheque in his fake name in XPF and so he has me there. Not to worry though; I will find another angle.

I am curious to see what name and PW he will send me. He may suspect that once Lionel registers the computer that Lionel will have a secret way into the computer. Lionel has to ship the computer by DHL next week. I may have it seized because the lad's name showed up on Lionel's European Customs broker list as a suspected internet criminal. Lionel will tell him that someone reported his e-mail address as "suspicious" to Interpol and that new Interpol and FBI rules require that an e-mail address must be included on all shipments to Africa (or wherever your lad lives). The same will apply to the DHL with the $5,500 XPF cheque in it. We could call this
Rule 914 and it is inviolable.

Oh the delights of fiction! It is so fun to simply make up things out of thin air when you need to do so. Nothing is beyond the realm of imagination.

 
 
Now we will see if "Mark" will play with a ruthless Russian. The Colonel begins by tempting Mark with the object of his heart's desire:
 

Hallo Mark:

 
We start with Andersons on Monday, 15 March 04. Anderson man I tell to e-mail bank. Please confirm again e-mail.
 
I have 1999 Range Rover in container on dock in Manila. Where you want Range Rover sent? I can send to
Cotonou or Lagos. Shipping is free. Automobile will have Russian papers and Bill of Sale made out to your name.
What name you want on Bill of Sale? I make record to show you paid Alexi Karmov $72,000 USD for Range Rover
and $2,000 for ocean shipping.
 
Here is Range Rover when I found it:
 
 
I blur license plate with computer program. Is beautiful. handsome Range Rover
with leather seats and powerful engine for climbing of hills and driving on dirt
roads. Is your car now just like I promised.
 
Do Svidaniya,

Z

Will the lad take a luxury Range Rover from a man who is complicit in a double-homicide? Finally, to see where the lad pegs on the depravity scale, Mrs. Betty Ferguson sends him this letter:

Dear Mr. Williams:

I am sending this e-mail to you and I am also copying Bishop Williams in hopes he will read it.

I have very bad news: Judy Smythe and her friend Lourdes La Palma were murdered in Manila by criminals. This is horrible and I hope the criminals are brought to justice, executed, and then sent to burn in Hell with Satan and his demons.

We are having a funeral for Judy Smythe in Paris where her parents are living in retirement. Bishop Abernathy considered Judy to be like a daughter to him. It would mean a great deal to Judy's family if the Bishop would come to the funeral.

We will pay all of his expenses to travel to Paris. He does not need to worry about money. I hope he is being treated for his heroin addiction and is able to come and say the eulogy at poor Judy's funeral. Tell Bishop Abernathy to contact me and I will send him money to the WU office nearest him. If he needs help, we will put him in a hospital in Paris after the funeral where he can recover from his heroin addiction. Tell him that Jesus forgives him and so do we.

I will keep you advised on the investigation. So far, the police have found nothing except some evidence that some Russians were seen in the area of the murders. However, the Russians have escaped. Colonel Thorn said the Russians probably have escaped back to Russia or Eastern Europe and it will be impossible to find them. There were no fingerprints or evidence at the scene of the murders which happened out on the edge of a jungle.

Yours in Christ,

Mrs. Betty Ferguson


Will the lad take an automobile from a killer? We he pose as Bishop Abernathy and take money for airplane tickets to a funeral of a woman who was murdered? This lad is high on the depravity scale so I bet he will not disappoint us!
