COLONEL THORN CROSSES OVER TO THE DARK SIDE

PAGE FOUR

 

Colonel Thorn is not happy with the way Mark the Lad (Hereinafter MTL) is trying to take over the action on the CCP book. He is also mad at the delay in getting the picture:

Comrade:
 
We need picture now. Is no good to write letter. I told you we dealing with Elohim Society.
You keep doing things your way is no good and I grow impatient. I say nothing, but now I grow angry.
 
Example: I tell you to offer LD CCP book for $100,000. I take $75,000, you take $25,000.
Split is 75/25 and you get $25,000 for free. But no! You come back and say $120,000 with
me get $80,000 and you get $40,000. Suddenly split is 66/33. You get greedy and not trust me.
You change my instructions on my job and I not like this at all! So I have to tell you is other book in Vatican and we lose whole deal if you delay. You try my paitence. You have to trust I know much you do not and trust that I know what dollar figure will work. You do not. You want to do things your way because you think you smart man. If you are so smart, why you live doing little con jobs on internet and beg magas for $500 by WU? Is stupid! I offer you serious money and you get greedy and disobey.
If I were there I would slap you on head and kick you.
 
If you can no follow orders then go find own jobs. I thought I was doing of you a great
favor and only expected loyalty and my orders to be followed. I can call friend Omar in Tin Can
and he hook me with guymen. I not need you, but I like work you do in past and persistence.
Good traits. But if you try to take over my jobs and not listen to my orders I will find
a good loyal soldier. Is war we are fighting and I am commander. You are soldier. You take
orders. You no give orders, ja?
 
So you think hard about question of loyalty to me. Loyalty is everything. Obedience is everything.
I can no work with soldier who disobeys me and changes my orders. I am Russian military man. This
is way of life inside or outside of military for me. LD gives me orders I follow to letter, never
question, never change his orders. Way of power is to follow orders without question.
 
If you in only for you and not for me then we part. My good must come before yours. I make LD's
good come before mine. He tells me to go and I go. He tells me to stay and I stay. Never question
and always obey. He protects me and gives me wealth for my obedience to his will.
 
Well is same with me and soldiers who work for me. So you decide. You obey me or leave. Is that
simple. Please advise. I have no more time to waste on your big plans. I make plans, give orders.
You obey. If cannot do that, then go.

ZT

Lionel replies to the James Chume re: the CCP book:

Dear James:

You are possibly describing the CCP book. Can your contacts get me a picture
of the book? Tell Bishop Abernathy the code phrase, "J. Dog Says Hello." He
will know what it means, but I am sorry that I cannot tell you what it
means. Only members of the Elohim Society know what it means. Perhaps you
will become a member someday if you are found to be a true believer in Jesus
Christ.

The CCP book is a very evil book. There are only two copies left in the
entire world. The book contains very dangerous and ancient spells. Let me
warn you about the CCP book:

DO NOT LOOK INSIDE THE BOOK IF YOU FIND IT. EVEN LOOKING AT THE PAGES CAN
CAUSE DEMONS TO FLY TO YOU AND KILL YOU! THE CCP BOOK IS SURROUNDED BY
PROTECTIVE DEMONS WHO ARE TRYING TO GET IT INTO THE HANDS OF THE MUSLIMS FOR
EVIL. WE WHO ARE TRUE BELIEVERS IN JESUS ARE TRYING TO FIND THE TWO
REMAINING COPIES. WE WILL DESTROY ONE COPY AND LOCK THE OTHER WAY IN A
SECRET VAULT. THERE MUST ALWAYS BE ONE COPY ON THE EARTH SO THAT WE WHO ARE
TRUE CHRISTIANS WILL KNOW HOW TO FIGHT THE ARCHDEMONS WHEN THEY ENTER THE
WORLD.

JAMES, DO NOT OPEN THIS BOOK. THIS BOY WHO SAW IT IS IN DANGER OF DEATH. THE
BOY MUST BE BLESSED BY A PRIEST OR HE WILL DIE.

The book is worth $50,000 or more, but we need proof that it exists
accompanied by Elohim Society proofs that I am reluctant to tell you about
because you would never be able to understand.
Please pray to God to see what he tells you to do. If you area true
Christian, you will do all that is in your power to protect the book from
falling into the hands of Muslims. James, I can tell you no more. I have to
think about this and pray about it. I need God to show me a sign that I can
trust you further. I will pray that the Holy Spirit will give you the sign
in a dream. If you fast and pray, Jesus will give you the sign. That is all
I can say other than warning you NOT TO LOOK INTO THIS EVIL BOOK.

One very disturbing rumor that troubles me deeply is that someone showed
Judy Smythe the CCP book when she was in Africa in November 2003 and this is
why she was murdered. Judy came back from Africa in November, 2003, and was
behaving strangely. She grew stranger with each passing day until she
betrayed me and stole $3,000,000 from the Elohim Society. Some say she
wanted the money to start a lesbian witch cult in Mania with Lourdes La
Palma. Some say they were both possessed by demons because Judy Smythe had
looked at the CCP book without the protection of the Holy Spirit.

I wish I could tell you more, but you're not in the Elohim Society. Anyone
who enters the Society does so because they are given a sign from God. That
is all I can say. DO NOT LOOK AT THE CCP BOOK, ESPECIALLY PAGE 89. WHAT YOU
WILL ON THAT PAGE WILL TERRORIZE YOU. YOU WILL NEVER FORGET THE IMAGE ON
PAGE 89.

Find out how to get the book. Send me proof that it exists. We will talk
once I am certain the book actually exists. I have had people claim over the
years that they have the CCP book and they ask for money. Yet when I ask for
proof, they can give me no proof. I will only believe you if you can tell
what color the CCP book is and if you can give me a sign from God.

Yours in Christ,

Lionel Drinkwater


Mark realizes he has overstepped his bounds with the Colonel:

DEAR ZULE,

 
NOT THAT WAY PLEASE I HAVE GOT PICS READY, I DO NOT KNOW YOU WANT IT THAT SOON.
PLEASE FORGIVE I WILL UNDERSTAND NOW THAT ALL ORDERS SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT IMMEDIATELY.
I WILL SEND PICS IN SHORT TIME.
MARK

CZT does not like MTL's reply and plays take-away:

Mark:
 
I called Omar and said he can hire mugu to do photo I need for Elohim Society since you wont.
I arrange to get you Range Rover, laptop, Sony camera, and monies and you wont even do little photo.
What this says about you? It says you ungrateful. Man who cant be trusted with little thing cannot be trusted
with big things. You cant do little photo, then I never let you near $50,000 or $100,000 of my money.
 
Not to worry. I take care of photo. Photo was test to see if you obey me and do what I say without question.
You too lazy to do photo. Take maybe what? Half hour? Buy fish, have mugu hold with sign, develop film.
 
You no work out as I had hoped, so you no get paid. Please to forget everything.  No car, laptop,
money. I find me real soldier. I find me serious player.
 
ZT
 

A second letter of rebuke from CZT immediately follows to drive home the point that Mark is out of the family:

Mark:
 
Is has to be how I say when I say, ja? You have to trust that I am privy to secrets you not know. You must ask me before
you send LD or Mrs Betty e-mails and then you must copy me on all e-mails to them under any names you use. You have
not copied me and I look stupid. Is not good. I have to ask Mrs. Betty to copy me and so she does because
she is part of my family and obeys me.
 
Example: You sned LD picture of CCP book I send you. You no ask me first. You assume without knowledge.
Problem is picture is of book from secret Vatican inventory of 1990 and LD knows it. Problem is book
that BA has -- which is book I have -- looks different and LD knows it. So LD calls me and asks
why James sends him picture of Vatican CCP. I say that BA has book and is playing game with LD.
So I have to cover for you when you act without consulting me first. When I am ready, I will give you
photo of real CCP book. I was not ready to give you photo until I was satified you could be trusted.
My copy has different color cover. All five books had different colors on cover. When I am ready
I will send you real cover. Page 89 is horrible photo just as LD said (Mrs. Betty sends me copies
of all his e-mails). When you are ready, I will send you picture of Page 89, but is horrible image.
Even me, battle-hardened Russian soldier who fought in Afhgahistan picture terrifies me. Is not
meant for mortal man to see page 89.
 
Money will come but must approach LD my way. I drink Vodka last night and smoke with my lieutenants.
We talk and decide to give you one more chance. But you follow orders, ja? If me or my son Alexi tells
you do something you do it, ja? I am not always available and so Alexi is boss in my place. He fought

 

with me in battle and he kill for me so I know he is true and loyal.
 
Now Elohim Society is preparing to meet and photo becomes critical, urgent. If you cannot do photo I have
Omar hire maga to do photo. I not need you, but am giving you chance to prove self. In my family tests
come where question is not to ask, "What this means?" but to obey without question.
 
Example: Alexi I tell to rob bank while dressed as woman. I have reason but he thinks is strange.
But he obeys without question and robs bank. He takes $733,400 all at once. Is huge haul! What I knew
what that big payroll was coming into bank that day and that bank robber dressed as woman had been robbing
banks. So police blamed it on robber and not Alexi. Point is he obeyed without question. For his obedience,
family gives Alexi $100,000 from haul. Rest of money used to take care of family. Had Alexi been capture,
family would have broke him out of prison using bribes. Even before I send him on robbery I have backup
rescue plan. It will be same when I send you on missions. Is my military background.
 
So send photo. How soon can family expect?
 
ZT
 

CZT follows up with another letter immediately. He calls MTL "Comrade" again to let him know he's back in the family:

Comrade Mark:
 
Is now important to do as I say, ja?
 
I write letter for BA to send to LD. Send the letter below. Just cut and paste. No questions:
 
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Dear Brother Lionel:
 
+J. Dog Says Hello+
 
I have CCP Q Bleu of 1928. Here is photo with ruler to see it is genuine Q Bleu:
 
 
 
The Russians took it from Fueherbunker on May 1, 1945.
The Vatican copy will never be found. It is useless to have
Father Fabrizio look for it. Cardinal Pendragon
stole it in 1992 after the inventory. You must pay me $100,000
for the Q Bleu. I will send you a copy of page 89 as proof that
I have book, but I will not tear page 89 out of book.
Demons will attack anyone who rips page from book.
You must return to me the $932,000 that the Elohim Society took
out of my bank accounts when I fled Cameroon. 
 
We never found Elijah's dagger. I think Muslim's
found it in 1918. Nothing was in Crystal Cave expect
manuscripts I send you. Before I leave Cameroon
I flood Crystal Cave with water from river.
Is all underwater except first five meters.
 
After you pay me what is due, I will take Vow 
and we never again speak.
 
+ God is in Heaven; Where is My Angel?+
 
BA

MTL sends the above letter to Lionel Drinkwater exactly as dictated by CZT. Since MTL has asked for forgiveness, I figure he is willing to do anything CZT asks, so the Colonel asks for a second picture and links the request to a chance for MTL to make some cash:

Comrade:
 
Is just got call from company in China. I am Master Distributor for them in Russia.  I sell their line of vitamins and herbal supplements to small distributors all over Russia. Is very good money and gives me legitimate company to hide other activites. Chinese now ask me to be Master Distributor to Afrique.. Is chance for you to make $50,000 first year -- plus bonus -- by managing small distributors. Omar will act as warehouse. Omar is not smart enough to run business but you are.
 
Chinese ask me if I have contacts in Afrique and I say yes. Product is called "Felch" and is Chinese sex vitamin for man's sexual health. Is big money, no joke! I sell millions of dollars worth of FELCH sexual vitamins in Russia with slogan:
 
"I FELCH FOR PROSTATE HEALTH"
 
Please to send me photo of you holding sign which say, " I FELCH FOR PROSTATE HEALTH" so I can give to Chinese executives,.
I send to Chinese to prove that men in Afrique will buy product. Is good if you can get pictures of two men.Chinese say, "Picture
is worth 1000 words" and so I send them pictures of Russian men with same sign two years ago. They have pictures of men with
same sign on their advertising. Alexi has his picture on bottles of FELCH sex vitamins I sell in Russia. Alexi has women more than he can handle from being model of virilty for sex vitamin company. He is like movie star in Moscow. Is to laugh because I only started sex vitamin
company to hide profits from jobs and now vitamin company makes much monies. Who knew?
 
Ship with Range Rover is getting ready to sail Saturday. I load on consignment of Chinese sex vitamins. No cost to you.
I will send you marketing plan and have made pre-sales of $92,000 already made by making of phone calls. Your commission
on all sales is 15%, so commission you will get on first consignment is $13,800. You will have to deliver to Cotonou
warehouse and Lagos warehouse. Then I will give you names of distributors and you manage with strength. You give
orders they take orders. Sell also some rare Chinese herbs for $200.00 per bottle as I do in Russia.
 
If we work together you need legitimate business of own to hide profits from other jobs. My vitamin company is
called "Scientific Health Systems for Better Living." Has different sense in Russian, but that is English translation.
I sell vitamins through company but I also sell adult videos, electronics, and many other items.
 
Please get photo quickly as I have to call China in few days. I can hire model, but I want you involved because Chinese
will come over to Lagos in two weeks with cheque for us to open new warehouses. They will want to meet you and
be entertained. How much for five high class whores for night? I pay, not to worry. I need five very beautiful women
of Afrique who will give great sex to Chinese men. I need 48 bottles of Johnny Walker Red -- can you get? I need
ten cases of Marlboro cigarettes, red pack in box, can you get? I need five hotel rooms, can you arrange when I say?
Please let me know if you can get all of these supplies, Do not buy anything yet. I can ship in Johnny Walker and
Marlboro's but is easier if I know you can get them so I now pay Customs duty. Is also Nigerian Customs streals
from my shipments. Johnny Walker and Marlboro's are gifts to Chinese guests.
 
Chinese men will bring us gifts. They have any kind of electronics you want. What do you want? I need to know
name you wish me to introduce you with to Chinese men.
 
ZT
 

Whatever is asked of him, MTL is willing to comply so he can get back into the family as he indicates it in the next two letters. After all, MTL does not want to lose a good thing:

DEAR ZULE,
 
I AM SORRY FOR WHAT HAPPENNED, JUST THAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOU WELL. THANKS FOR-GIVEN ME, I PROMISE IT WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. SEND MY THANK TO THE WHOLE FAMILY.
BUT I WILL TELL YOU LD NOW ASK FOR PROVE OF HAVING BOOK AND PROVE OF HONESTY, I WILL SEND PICS OF A YOUNG MAN WITH SIGN AS PROVE FOR HONESTY, THEN PICS OF PAGE 89 AS PROVE OF HAVING BOOK.
I THINK IT WILL WORK OUT.
I WILL TELL TO PAY $100T.
I WILL SEND YOU THE OTHER PICS.
WE CAN GET JONNY WALKER RED HERE, MARLBORO’S.
ANY KIND OF ELECTRONICS IS OKAY BY ME.
I WILL SEND ONE OF THE PICS I TOOK NOW BUT I WILL RETAKE ANOTHER IT’S DARK.
MARK

CZT gives MTL some breathing room under the good cop/bad cop theory of scambaiting:

Comrade:
 
Your work so far is good. I am pleased. Still need pictures and know on you I can rely.
 
LD is having chest pains Mrs. Betty tells me. Is for 30 years looking for CCP Q Bleu and now
he sees it, realizes it is real. Is reminds of French proverb, "Careful of what you wish for
because you might get it." He had bad dream last night. I find this out from his manservant
Mr. Hastings. LD sometimes has bad dreams just like did his Uncle Calvin.
 
Guy, you know Elephant Club?
I find on internet and so I am thinking we
take Mr. Yi and his associates to Elephant Club.
You have some friends in Lag can get us in Elephant Club?
What other nice places can we take Mr. Yi? What you
recommend for entertaining of our Chinese guests? I pay
for everything, not to worry. We have to make nice nice
on Mr. Yi. Tell me ideas and costs of entertainment,
and we need women escorts for them.
 
Mr. Yi owns ship Range Rover is being shipped on.
Is good ship with Chinese crew. Ship is being loaded and
leaves Hong Kong tomorrow. I have problem
with Range Rover key because is special security key 
has computer chip in it. I am having new keys made and
is cost $400.00. Problem is that old owner had
secret computer (Lojack) on car and signal was sent
out from police to trace car. We looked for Lojack
first thing and destroyed it. But signal pulse deactivated
ignition and door locks. Car no start, doors no unlock.
Mr. Yi knows man who can fix and so car is being
worked on. Will be fine. Had to uncrate and unwrap car
and rewire some things, no problem. Car is down in hold
of ship. It will be crated up again. Crate is labeled as
tractor. Omar will receive it as farm equipment and
so you will not have to pay any tax or duties. You
do whatever needed to register car when you
get it. Omar has crane and will lift crate onto dock.
You sign manifest for farm equipemnt.
 
I ehav other question. I send letters to magas using
name of Mrs. Miriam Abacha. I have no answers
from 90% of magas. I get some letters back telling me to
"fuck off and die mugu" and to "go to hell" and
other letters of hate. Is what happens to you
I assume, ja? What % of magas answer
you and send money? Is 5%? What % should
I expect? One maga sends me letter and calls
my mother whore and bitch. Why so rude?
It is too laugh. Why peoples get bothered?
Why they bother sending of hate mail? They
ehav no life!
 
I contact you again tomorrow. What is happening with Anderson man?
Must go now and call Mr. Yi. Keep up good work my comrade.
 
ZT
 

MTL then send CZT comments on the Anderson fellow:

COMRADE,
I HAVE SEND YOU REPLY FROM ANDERSON AND THE MAIL I SENT TO HIM.
NICE PLACE FOR MR. YI ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT THE PROBLEM, I CAN SAY HOW MUCH BUT A LITTLE EXPENSIVE.
I WILL GET PICS LATER TODAY. SO TALK TO ANDERSON HE WILL PAY.
HE SAID HE GIVE $50T FOR THE DOCUMENTS I SAID YOU DID BRIBE'S AND SO TO MOVE THE PAYMENT TO THIS STAGE TELL IF NOT NEXT YEAR THE MONEY WILL BE PAID.
I HOPE TO READ FROM YOU AGAIN TODAY, I HOPE YOU HAVE GOTTEN A/C FOR MR. ANDERSON ONCE HIS READY TO PAY I FORWARD TO HIM.
MARK
 

MTL in the guiuse of James Chume finally sends a letter to LD with the required "J. Dog Says Hello" sign, This is a big fish and holds the record for the biggest African fish caught on film in a scambait at the present time. CZT asked for a big fish and the lad delivered!

DEAR LD
 

J. DOG SAYS HELLO, YEA THEY HAVE BOOK THAT IS BACK PAGE, READY TO DEAL WITH YOU IF YOU ARE WILL TO PAY FOR $100,000. JUST BECAUSE THE BELIEVE YOU ARE A TRUE CHRISTIAN AND WILL PROTECT CHRISTIANITY.

SIGNS AS PROVE OF HONESTY. IF YOU AGREE WITH PRICE THEN WILL SEND A PAGE TO YOU SAY  PAGE 89. DO NOT WORRY THEY WILL BE COVER WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS.
 

JAMES

  
PHOTO DELETED                             
 

 

MTL next sends CZT a dull,. moribund photo for FELCH brand Chinese Sex Vitamins. He does not look at all happy or excited to be Felching for Prostate Health:

PHOTO DELETED

Of course, the FELCH photo is all wrong and Mr. Yi does not like it:

Comrade:
 
Thank you for sneding of photo so quickly to me.
 
However, Mr. Yi did in China not like photo. He wants done again.
Mr. Yi is difficult this way. Here is what he writes to me:
 
"Zule, picture is all wrong. Man does not look happy to use FELCH. Man must smile.
Man must look important. Please have him put two or three pens in his pocket
like businessman. Have him wear tie. Sign must be bigger. Whole body of
man from head to toe must show. I no like words, "I FELCH FOR PROSTATE
HEALTH" anymore. I want new sign to say, "FELCHING IS MY THING BABY!."
Make changes as I request. Keep same man in picture. He is handsome and looks
strong. Perhaps we use him on FELCH bottles in Africa? Does he have contract
to be male model? If not, sign him as model for FELCH bottle with contract.
No time to waste. Send me my present of 48 bottles of Johnny Walker Red and
10 cases of Marlboro Red in hard pack today by Fed-X. I am having party
next Wednesday so please rush. I will send you X Box console Alexi's
son wanted. I also send the lad ten X Box games plus newest
Pokemon card decks from Japan. Did you get marble lion I shipped you?
 
With Utmost Sincerity,
 
Mr. K. Yi"
 
Mr. Yi is how you say? Perfectionestic? Is every detail must be right. But he pays
on time in USD. I have no complaints.
 
ZT

 

Mark next checks in on Mrs. Betty and uses the Elohim Society secret code word:

DEAR MRS, BETTY,
J DOG SAY HELLO.
HOW ARE YOU AND LD, I HOPE HE MUST HAVE RECOVERED FROM THE SHOCKING NEWS OF THE
DEATH OF MRS. JUDY A LITTLE.
I DO NOT HEAR FROM YOU FOR SOME THING NOW. PLEASE INFORM ME ABOUT THE DATE OF
THE BURIAL OF MRS. JUDY. AND MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS FOR ME READY.
THANKS AND BYE,
THE WILL OF GOD MUST BE DONE.
BA
 

Enter Arthur Anderson, scam victim of Colonel Thorn's, who now sends a note to Mark the Lad. CZT has already conned Arthur for $50,000 and now the Colonel is turning over this "raw meat" to MTL:

Dear Sir,
 
My name is Arthur Anderson, my friend Vladimir Stoyanichia, said that I
should contact you about our business. I apologise for the delay, but my
darling wife has been in hospital, and I had to be by her side. I hope
you understand, and that we can still conclude this business as quick as
possible.
 
Please let me know what to do from here. Since my wife has finished her
tests, I am free to concentrate on business again.
 
Arthur.

Arthur's letter begins a scambait-within-a-scambait as Mr. ALHAJI IDRIS AHMED -- who is Mark the Lad -- replies to Arthur. Because this is Mark-as-Mr. Ahmed, we will keep these letters in black text to show them as a separate scams. These letters provide subtext and demonstrate that Mark the Lad commits many different 419 crimes simultaneously under many different names and stories. As far as I know, Mark does is a full time 419 criminal. Mark opens this next e-mail with a fractured use of English pronouns in which he speaks of Arthur's wife as his: 

ATTN: ARTHUR ANDERSON;
DEAR ANDERSON,
 
I HOPE MY WIFE IS BETTER NOW, SAY ME WELL TO HER.
 
YES YOU REQUIRE ANTI-TERROIST/ANTI-DRUG CERTIFICATE (911 CLEARANCE
CERTIFICATE) BEFORE YOU CAN CLAIM THE MONEY. BUT TO GET THIS YOU NEED
CERTIFICATE OF FUND ORIGIN, WHICH WILL BE ISSUED TO YOU BY NIGERIAN
LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS,THE OFFICIAL COST IS $4,850 WHICH SHOUILD BE PAID TO
THE ACCOUNT OFFICER THROUGH WESTESN UNION FOR REASONS OF URGENCY.
MR. CHUKWUKA R. OGUGUA-----NIGERIA
YOU SEND THE PAYMENT INFORMATION TO ME THEN ONCE I RECEIVED THAT I WILL
COLLECT THE CERTIFICATE OF ORIGIN, SEND YOU A COPY THEN APPLY FOR THE 911
CLEARANCE WHICH WILL COST YOU $68,250. WITH A COPY OF IT. THEN YOU CAN THN
RECIEVE YOUR $45.5M.
 
BYE PLEASE TAKE GOOD CARE OF YOUR WIFE.
 
BEST REGARDS.
 
ALHAJI IDRIS AHMED

"Mr. Ahmed" then attaches to the above e-mail the same bogus passport he sent to Dr. Calvin Crocker in Act III of the James Chume scambait, thus showing that guymen recycle the same forgeries to different victims over and over. There is a definite sort of script and this passport is used to establish the credibility of the fake Mr. Ahmed:  

 

 

Yossarian, a fellow scambaiter from 419eater,com is posing as Arthur Anderson. We compare notes so as to triangulate on Mark the Lad. Yossarian sends me this note after receiving the Ahmed letter and passport. I will italicize all of Yossarian's comments to me that the lad never sees: 

Just whose wife is sick here?
 
Anyway, I'm planning on saying "Come on man, I paid that communist
$50,000 already. I'm going to ask him to pay for this."
 
Basically I'm going to string the money issue out before AA's wife
suddenly gets sick and the lad gets to hear about her plumbing, then
he'll be so glad to get the money, he won't mind going to somewhere
screwy?
 

Arthur then responds to Mr. Ahmed:

 

Dear Alhaji,
 
I know that I need an anti-terrorist / anti-drug certificate and that
this takes a certificate of funds origin. How ever, my friend Vladimir
assured me that the money (over $50,000) that I have already given him
was to cover these expenses. In fact, I was under the impression that he
had already arranged these documents for me while I was staying with my
wife in hosptal. I will be charitable and assume that this is a simple
misunderstanding.
 
I apologise for any inconvenience that this has caused you - Vladimir is
acting as my agent, but he is a very busy man right now.
 
Arthur

MTL is not happy about Arthur's carping about something as trifling as paying yet more money:

DEAR ANDERSON,
 
WELL I WAS AWARE THAT HE DID SPEND SOME MONEY ON THE LOCAL TAXES THAT WAS TO
PAY DURING THE CONTRACT PERIOD THAT WAS NOT PAID. HE ALSO GIVES BRIBE TO
ENABLE YOU COLLECT THE CONTRACT SUM. HE PROMISED ME THAT YOU WOULD EVEN GIVE
A LAPTOP. THAT WHY I WANT TO MAKE YOUR PAYMENT IMMEDIATELY, THEY’RE LOT OF
PEOPLE IN THE WAITING LIST NOW. I THINK YOUR FRIEND DID MUCH TO GET THE
PAYMENT TO THIS STAGE.
WELL GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM.
BUT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT YOU DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON YOUR SIDE, THIS
QUARTER PAYMENT WILL BE CLOSING SOON.
PLEASE GET IN TOUCH WITH HIM AND GET ACROSSE TO ME.
BYE, HOW IS YOUR WIFE I HOPE SHE IS RECOVERYING VERY FAST,
ALSO REMEMBER TO SAY ME WELL TO HER.
BEST REGARDS.
ALHAJI IDRIS AHMED
 
 MTL then checks in with CZT and cc's him on the letters to Arthur:
 

COMRADE,

I HAVE SEND YOU REPLY FROM ANDERSON AND THE MAIL I SENT TO HIM.
NICE PLACE FOR MR. YI ENTERTAINMENT IS NOT THE PROBLEM, I CAN SAY HOW MUCH BUT A LITTLE EXPENSIVE.
I WILL GET PICS LATER TODAY. SO TALK TO ANDERSON HE WILL PAY.
HE SAID HE GIVE $50T FOR THE DOCUMENTS I SAID YOU DID BRIBE'S AND SO TO MOVE THE PAYMENT TO THIS STAGE TELL IF NOT NEXT YEAR THE MONEY WILL BE PAID.
I HOPE TO READ FROM YOU AGAIN TODAY, I HOPE YOU HAVE GOTTEN A/C FOR MR. ANDERSON ONCE HIS READY TO PAY I FORWARD TO HIM.
MARK
 

 MTL now sends us this most excellent FELCHING photo:

PHOTO DELETED

Mark includes a note with this 419 collector's photo:

this is the pics confirm if is okay.
do not send abacha, they haedly answer it.
i will send you letter to send(formate).
mark

MTL's remark about "abacha" refers to an earlier question CZT asked Mark about the effectiveness of sending 419 letters to potential victims under the name of Miriam Abacha, the former First Lady of Nigeria, who is very probably the most widely used name in 419 letters. I have personally received at least a dozen letters from Miriam Abacha offering me a share of over $500,000,000 if I add up the value of each letter. I like Madame Abacha so much that I turned her into a 419 Trading Card:

PHOTO DELETED

I will render Mark the Lad's "Felching Is My Thing Baby" photo into my 419 trading card soon. Enough silliness for this page. Let's move on to page five of this comic scambaiting adventure which is soon to turn tragicomic -- at least for Mark the Lad, who has given CZT this name and address for use in  registering the Range Rover:

IDIGO A. MARK

NO 10 ALUFA AMINU STREET, OFF PEDRO POLICE STATION PEDRO.

SOMULU

LAGOS- NIGERIA.

Might this be the real Mark??? 

I don't know, but what I do know is that Mark is sensitive enough to drop a note to Mrs. Betty to ask if Lionel Drinkwater has gotten over the shocking murders -- and oh by the way, he asks in passing, where is the laptop Lionel was going to send him? 

From: michael williams
To: Lionel Drinkwater
Subject: Re: Funeral Notice
Date: Thu, 25 Mar 2004 04:47:44 -0800 (PST)

DEAR MRS. BETTY,

HOW IS MR. DRINKWATER, I HOPE HE HAS RECOVERRED FROM THE SHOCK NOW AND HAS
STARTED HIS NORMAL BUSINESS?
I SUPPOSED YOU PROMISE TO SEND ME THE DHL TRACKING NUMBER ON MONEY BUT TILL
DATE I HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY THING FROM YOU. PLEASE ITIMATE ME WITH THE
HAPPENINGS.
REMAIN BLESSED.
WILLIAMS

Mrs, Betty, good ol' trusty, gotta-love-her, Mrs. Betty, once again covers for Lionel. Mrs. Betty is a great character to have because she can cover for all of my mistakes -- just like all Executive Assistants do for their bosses in the real world! 

Dear Mr. Williams:

Please excuse Mr. Drinkwater. He is still badly shaken from the murders.
The laptop will be sent to our shipping department on Huahine on the scheduled
Friday cargo flight. We have two cargo flights per week from Drinkwater
Island to Huahine. The laptop will then be bundled with other cargo and
taken to Papeete where it will be assigned a DHL shipping number and then
forwarded to Australia and then to Cotonou. I would think it will be there
in 14 days or less. I should have the DHL tracking number for you next
Monday. I will load the name and password onto the computer tomorrow morning.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Betty Ferguson
