COLONEL THORN CROSSES OVER
TO THE DARK SIDE
PAGE FIVE

The Arthur Anderson scam heats up with
Arthur and Mr. Ahmed arguing over money:
Dear Ahmed,
I will have to consult with Vladimir to see what
payments he has and has
not made. I would hate for a misunderstanding to
result in double
payment. Any irreqularity might draw unwanted
attention to our deal.
Unfortunately, he still has not got back to me yet. I
am not using my
laptop, I find the screen difficult to read. Not that
it should matter to
you what computer I am using. My wife is as well as
can be expected. She
was in hosptial for some minor exploratory sugery.
During a routine
checkup, her gynocologist expressed some concern
about a possible rupture
in her fallopian tubes. This would explain her
irregular periods. Not
only is her bleeding unpredictable in timing, it is
also worryingly thick
and while I am not familiar with women's discharges,
in fact, my wife's
were the first I examined, and not deliberately, I
assure you, I am not a
pervert. But I am pretty sure that they should not
smell salty.
Therefore, we scheduled her for a follow up
laproscopic examination.
However, the camera was unable to progress far enough
into her womb to
provide an adequate view for the doctors. Since my
uncle is an important
man on the hospital board, we were able to schedule
her for the
exploratory surgury that kept me away from my
computer. I appreciate what
my partners in this business have done, but like I
said earlier, I just
wish to be assured that there is no mixup that might
draw undue attention
to our matter. Please get in contact with Vladimir to
sort this out. We
both eagerly, and fearfully, await the results of my
wifes tests. We
would appreciate your prayers. Please hurry, as you
say, the quarter is
nearly ended.
Arthur.
Mr. Yi likes the new FELCHING photo:
Comrade:
Picture is very good and Mr. Yi likes. Who is man?
Mr. Yi wants to hire him as model
for Felch brand Chinese Sex Vitamins. Mr. Yi says man
in photo looks healthy, happy, attractive to women.
We have professional photos done when I arrive Lag.
Is man available to sign contract as male model?
Can he make publicity appearances in Afrique when Mr.
Yi does promotional tour for launch of
Felch product? Mr. Yi likes man. You do good job
selecting right man for photo.
I am onboard Mr. Yi's ship and will travel to Lag. Is
not safe for me to use airports at present time.
Ship makes stops in Bangkok, Bombay, Cape Town, and
then into Tin Can. Voyage in 12-20 days depending
upon time in each port. Ship is old cargo vessel. I
arranged for Mr. Yi to purchase from Soviet Navy
in 1991. I used ship in old days to move things
around world. On board now are three luxury cars bound
for Tin Can. Is Range Rover, Rolls Royce Silver
Shadow, and Bentley. We have also electronics, Felch
brand herbs and vitamins, and much food. We deliver
Felch products to Viet Nam, India, and Afrique.
We pick up extract of wild grasses and herbs from
Viet Nam and India to take back to China for
making of Felch.
Mark, we need to open small shop in Lag, some small
business. We need a dry cleaner, florist,
market, something we can move cash through. What kind
of small business is good for Lag? Please
to advise me.
Mr. Drinkwater is fasting and praying. He is afraid
of book suddenly. It is his destiny to get
book I tell him. But now he fears juju. I have book
with me on ship. Alexi has page 89 ready
to mail when Mr. Drinkwater ready pscyhologicaly to
receive book. He is scared and called
Fabrizio to fly to Drinkwater Island to counsel him.
This is good because it stops Fabrizio
from finding Vatican copy of CCP. I lie about Vatican
book being stolen so we can get money.
I check in once a day while on voyage from satellite
uplink. You do work with Anderson.
You say Abacha letters are no good. What kind of
letters work best? I was no going to do
these kinds of jobs but now they seem fun and easy to
get some monies. I have nurse in
Miami who sends "Valdimir" $5,000 by WU. Was easy!
"Ho ho," I say. I can be guyman from
Russia and have business associate in Lagos who is
you. You want to take over job with
nurse in Miami, help me?
I send no more Abacha letters as you suggest. I am
expert in what I do and you seem to be
expert in what you do. I ask you for advice on
internet jobs. We learn muyh from each other, ja?
ZT
This next letter is astonishing. In it, MTL
admits that the man in the FELCHING photo is himself. MTL then includes a "formate"
or script of a scanning letter:
COMRADE,
THE MAN IN PICS IS ME, I AM READY TO SIGN DOCUMENTS
IF YOU ADVICE. READ ANDERSON'S MAIL AND GET TO HIM EXPLAIN HOW MONEY WAS SPEND
BY HAS PAID LOCAL TAXES THAT SUPPOSED TO BE PAID DURING CONTRACT AND BRIBE
OFFICERS TO RELEASE MONEY QUICK. WELL YOU CAN SEND NURSE TO ME. ACCOUNT I NEED
A/C FOR ANDERSON IF HE IS READY TO PAY $68.250T.
THIS IS A FORMAT
FROM: Mrs. Rosemary O. Agbata,
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT.
ECOBANK,
COTONOU,
BENIN REPUBLIC WEST AFRICA.
Dear Beloved,
I am Mrs. Rosemary O. Agbata.The director in charge
of auditing and accounting section of continental bank Cotonou Benin republic
in West Africa with due respect and regard. I have decided to contact you on a
business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of
the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank,
my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to a deceased
person who died on 26th December 1998 on Airline Transafrik International with
aircraft Lockheed L-100-30 at location Vila Nova, Angola with registration
number S9-CAO while traveling with his entire of his wife, 2 children and a
maid on a festive visit to Angola. And since his untimely death the funds has
been dormant in his account with this Bank without any claim of the fund in
our custody either from his or relation before our discovery to this
development.
Although personally, I keep this information secret
within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea be Profitable
and successful during the time of execution. The said amount was
usd$17.2M(Seventeen million Two Hundred Thousand united states dollars). As it
may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through my good
friend who works with chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here
in Cotonou-Benin.
It is him who recommended your person to me to be
viable and capable to champion a business of such magnitude without any
problem. Meanwhile all the whole arrangement to put claim over this fund as
the bonifide next of kin to the deceased, get the required approval and
transfer this money to a foreign account has been put in place and directives
and needed information will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your
interest and willingness to assist us and also benefit yourself to this great
business opportunity.
In fact I could have done this deal alone but because
of my position in this country as a civil servant, we are not allowed to
operate a foreign account and would eventually raise an eyebrow on my side
during the time of transfer because I work in this bank. This is the actual
reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as
the next of kin to the Bank and also present a foreign account where he will
need the money to be re-transferred into on his request as it may be after due
verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where
the whole money will be remitted from to your own designated bank account.
May I at this point emphasize that this transaction
is 100% risk free as I have made arrangements for a successful arrangement as
an insider of the bank before contacting you. On smooth conclusion of this
transaction, you will be entitled to 30% of the total sum as gratification,
while 10% will be set aside to take care of expenses that may arise during the
time of transfer and also telephone bills, my travel ticket to come over to
your country for the sharing of the fund while 60% will be for me and my
partners. Please, you have been advised to keep this a top secret as we are
still in service and intend to retire from service after we conclude this deal
with you.
I will be monitoring the whole situation here in this
bank until you confirm the money in your account and ask us to come down to
your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages
previously indicated and further investment, either in your country or any
country you advice us to invest.
Kindly send your private information’s:
(1) Your Telephone Number.
(2) Your Fax Number.
(3) Your Account Number
(4) Your Bank information’s
yours truly
Mrs. Rosemary O. Agbata.
PLEASEREACH ANDERSON SOONEST.

Like a Romulan warship uncloaking, MTL immediately
sends CZT two more "formates. This is amazing to see a lad be so forthcoming:
ATTN:SIR,
I am BARRISTER BILL IWENOR a Solicitor. I am the
Personal Attorney to Mr GREG MCCORMICK, a national
of
your country, who used to work with shell
development
company in Nigeria.
On the 21st of April 1999, my client,his wife And
their three children were involved in a car
accident
along Sagamu/Lagos Express Road.unfortunately they
All
lost their lives in the event of the accident.
Since then I have made several enquiries to your
Embassy to locate any of my clients extended
relatives, this has also proved unsuccessful.
After these several unsuccessful attempts, I
decided
to trace his relatives over the Internet to locate
any
member of his family but of no avail hence I
contacted
you.
I contacted you to assist in repartrating the money
and property left behind by my client before they
get
confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank
where this huge deposits were lodged.Particularly,
the
Bank where the deceased had an account valued at
about9 million dollars.
Conseqently,The bank issued me a notice to provide
the
next of kin or have the account confiscated within
the
next ten official working days. since i have been
unsuccesfull in locating the the relatives for over
3
years now I seek your consent to present you as the
next of kin of the deceased since you are from the
same country so that the proceeds of this account
valued at $9 million dollars can be paid to you and
then you and me can share the money. 60% to me and
30%
to you,while 10% should be for expenses or tax as
your
government may require.
I have all necessary legal documents that can be
used
to back up any claim we may make. All I require is
your honest cooperation to enable us see this deal
through.
I guarantee that this will be executed under a
legitimate arrangement that will protect you from
any
breach of the law.

MTL then offers comments to CZT on small business
opportunities in Lagos.
yah theregood biz here, i think cybercafe more
better business.
then electricals okay too.
mark
Tellingly, Mark the Lad recommends opening a
cybercafe in Lagos. With the 419 business being what it is, It is no surprise
that a cybercafe in Lagos, Nigeria, would be successful.
Now that CZT knows that MTL is the man in the
FELCHING photo, he flatters the lad. The Colonel also lets Mark know that he
is now onboard Mr. Yi's ship on the way to Tin Can Port in Cotonou, Benin
Republic with Mark's coveted Range Rover:
Comrade Mark:
You are handsome
man. You must be good with the ladys, ja? We call man like you "Ladys Man"
in Russia. You Lady's Man. Maybe I start calling you that! Ho ho! You are
handsome man and sweet like you say. Mr. Yi say he will draw up contract for
you to be FELCH model. Mr. Yi can use same as name for modeling contract as
is on Range Rover registration, ja?
Here is old picture
of me from KGB days in Afghanistan giving medals of bravery to soldiers of
Soviet Army:
Question people ask
me: What is means KGB? In Russian is "Komitet Gosudarstvennoy Bezopasnosti"
which is means "Committee for State Security". I have no current picture of
self in my laptop. Is in desktop computer at dacha. But you will soon see me
in Lag we have photo taken together as comrades.
Question unrelated to
your handsomeness: Is electrical problem in Lag? Capitan of ship gets radio
call and we are ordered to make stop in other port to pick up very large GE
electrical generator that is needed immediately in Lag. This is huge
generator, big as railroad freight car. Ship has two cranes, one on bow, one
on stern. Will need both cranes to lift generator and will take maybe
eight hours to get into hold. We have to pump ballast water correct way to
keep ship balanced during loading. Request is urgency and money was paid in
advance. What is problem with electric in Lag?
Thank you for
scripts. You write letters good. How much is to open cybercafe in Lag? I can
get computers, modems, servers, routers, ect. from Mr. Yi. How many I need
for cybercafe? 30 computers? Do we have need of printers? Please advise
how to equip. Coffee-making machines? Pastry shelves? Cybercafes in Moscow
sell coffee and pastries and peoples eat and use internet. Never thought of
owning cybercafe but now is good idea. If I set up a cybercafe in Lag
will you be manager, part-owner (30%)? I not know how to run cybercafe, Need
local. I always hire locals for my business and give them some ownership %
so they stay loyal to me.
Is cold out
on ocean. Makes me long for warmth of Afrique. How is weather in Lag
right now?
ZT
I next send a note to Yossarian (Arthur Anderson)
so he can update Mr. Ahmed on the monies he has sent to Vladimir Stoyanicha. I
post this so you can see the administrative work of "keeping your stories
straight" that has to be done in a good scambait in which you are using many
characters as is the lad:
Hi Yossarian:
Here is what you (Arthur Anderson) sent Vladimir
Stoyanichia. I made it all up and Mark has no record. You sent it to
Vladimir's Hong Kong bank account via wire transfer
1. $22,500 -- Demurrage Fees
2. $5,800 -- Drug Free Certificate from Mr.
Kenneth Gordon
3. $19,700 -- Accumulated Administrative Fees
4. $7,500 -- Rolex watch for Mr. Gordon
5. $13,690 -- Tax Stamps for Inland Revenue
Service
S/T $69,160 paid to Vladimir Stoyanichia.
Here is picture Vladimir sent you of himself:

It is a picture of Boris Fedorov a Russian leader
in the 20th century. But Mark won't know. Send him Vlad's picture and ask for
his in return. Please don't ask for pics w/signs as I am doing that and don't
want him to be suspicious. The ship is stopping in Viet Nam, Bangcock, Bombay,
and anywhere else you need it to stop between Manila and Lagos.
Regards,
J. Dog
Mark sends a note to CZT in which he says that Mr.
Yi can use the same name for the FELCH modeling contract as is on the Range
Rover contratc. This was a test question I devised to see if Mark uses the
same name for all legal documents:
COMRADE,
YEA USE THE NAME THERE.
WELL CAFE BIZ WE MAY START WITH 30 COMPUTERS AND
INTRODUCE SOME OTHER TIMES LIKE PASTRIES OR SO.
THE MOST IMPORTANT IS THE INTERNET PROVIDER.
THEN ACCOMMODITIONS, AIRCONDITIONERS, GENERATOR SET
AND FUNITURES WILL BE OTHER THINGS TO PROVIDE FOR.
YEA AS YOU ASKED WE HAVE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS HERE.
PLEASE REACH MR. ANDERSON TELL HIM HOW YOU SPEND
$50T TELL HIM THIS BILL ARE NECESSARY TO PAY AS I SAID SO.
SEND YOUR NURSE OVER.
BYE TILL I HEAR FROM YOU.
MARK
Using my Vladimir Stoyanichia character, I then
send a note to Arthur Anderson detailing the fees and bcc: Mark the Lad: As
with all laddish lies, Vladimir claims to have paid a significant part of
the fees himself:
My Dear Brother Arthur:
Things are proceeding
extremely well and we are working towards a speedy conclusion so that you
may receive the $45,500,000 as quickly as monies can be processed. Please
understand that transferring this much of money with required secrecy is
complex. My good colleague Mr. Alhaji Idris Ahmed has contacted me and has
asked me to give you an understanding of how the monies you have been sent
to me have been spent. I will elaborate in detail so that you have comfort
factor and feel safe in knowing that we supervise process with utmost care
and professionalism to protect your best interests in this 100% risk free
transaction as our valued client.
Here is financial
analysis:
1. $22,500 -- Demurrage
Fees: Monies to pay Security Company for storage of monies secreted in
storage boxes. I have paid $17,500 of the Demurrage fees for a total of
$40,000. The Security Company is a heavily fortified facility manned by
armed guards 24 hours per day, 365 days per year. On leap years, it is
manned 366 days. There is elaborate security system of hidden cameras,
motions sensors, and a knock-out gas system should criminals attack. Is
very expensive, but when so much money is at stake, I must use best
security obtainable. Only better security available is at Fort Knox
in USA.
2. $5,800 -- Drug Free
Certificate from Mr. Kenneth Gordon. We must certify to authorities that
this money did not come from drug sales. Accordingly, I had to
bring chemist in to take samples of money and test for cocaine and heroin
traces to ensure drug lords never touch monies. Laboratory testing is
expensive. I paid $4,200 of our own funds for a total of $10,000.
3. $19,700 --
Accumulated Administrative Fees -- A highly trained team of
CPA's, bankers, attornies, and analysts has had to manage this great sum
of money and we have to pay their salaries. I paid $10,300 of their
salaries for a total of $30,000.
4. $7,500 -- Rolex
watch for Mr. Gordon. Executive needs a bribe. What can we say? Mr. Gordon
has to sign form N674A or else funds cannot be released. I paid $7,500, or
50%, for the $15,000 Rolex. He signed N674A and we no longer need Mr.
Gordon.
5. $13,690 -- Tax
Stamps for Inland Revenue Service -- Required by Nigerian Government. They
will be asking for money tax monies as the $13,690 was only a partial
payment. I expect that I will have six more tax payments for a total of
$120,000 in taxes and I will pay 50% or $60,000.
Mr. Anderson, you have
paid $69,160 to me, Vladimir Stoyanichia, as your agent of service in this
process. I have paid from my own pocket $32,000.
I expect the total fees to
be paid to me are $300,000 which is only a very small percent of
$45,500,000. I will pay $150,000 and you will pay $150,000. The remaining
fees you can expect to pay to me are $80,840.
My colleagues own 50% of
the $45,000,000 and they will assess you fees as needed. In any case, I
will reimburse you the $150,000 you will pay me when we collect the money.
Likewise, my colleagues intend to repay you the monies you send them. My
colleagues and I are generous men but we are not wealthy and so we need
and expect you to help shoulder some of the financial burden as we cannot
do it alone. I msyelf had to sell my dear wife's jewelry and my coin
collection of gold coins from the 17th century to get the money I needed.
My wife cries tears of sadness as we have been married 15 years, but I
tell her all will be better and that this money will help to educate our
six children in university so they can have life we never had. Mr.
Anderson, we must all share sacrifices for greater good.
Now please, time is not on
our side., Please send monies immediately to my colleagues as requested.
My prayers are for your
poor sick wife and she remains in our hearts each day. Did she get flowers
I sent to her in hospital?
Your Brother,
Vladimir Stoyanichia
An e-mail from CZT to
Mark follows:
We went into port
to get GE generator. Is very big generator. I worry too big for cranes,
but captain say is okay. Here is picture I took from dock:
I had to go
to harbor master's office and pay $5,000 USD for harbor permit and dock
loading fees. We have money in ship's safe for fees, but this fee was
very expensive. I think harbor master take advantage because he knows is
emergency shipment. Your Range Rover is in front hold of ship with other
cars. Loading is going very slowly. May take 12 hours or more. Tide is
going out and is making balancing of ship difficult. We may have to put
generator back on dock and wait until tide comes back in tomorrow.
I call Mr. Yi he say 30 computers no problem.
He ask what specifications of computer are needed for cybercafe. Please
to tell me what computers work best. Do you need laptops or desktops?
ZT
COMRADE,
THANKS FOR YOUR EMAIL, WE NEED DESKTOP FOR
CYBERCAFE.
WHICH PORT (COUNTRY) ARE YOU NOW. WE ALSO NEED POWER BACKUP (UPS). I
HAVE THE HAD FROM MR. ANDERSON YET, I WILL REACH YOU ONCE I HEAR FROM
HIM. SEND ME YOUR NURSE CLIENT.
BYE TILL I HEAR FROM YOU.
MARK
sorry i tried sending thru my voila.fr email
box but it's not going.
please reply to voila.fr
A picture is worth a thousand words:
IS NEWS SO TERRIBEL THAT I CANNOT BELEIVE IT!
I TELL CHINESE CAPTAIN WAS UNSAFE TO LIFT SUCH LARGE GENERATOR. I CALL
MR. YI AND TELL HIM TO SEND BIGGER SHIP. BUT NO! THEY NO LISTEN EVEN
THOUGH I MYSELF HAVE BEEN HAULING CARGO ON SHIPS FOR SINCE 1980.
STORM BLOWS IN AND GENERATOR IS ON LIFTING
CABLES. SHIP IS AT LOW TIDE WHEN I SAY TO LIFT ONLY AT HIGH TIDE.
SHIP ROLLS AND BALLAST WATER SHIFTS.
GENERATOR SHIFTS AND SHIP CAPSIZES! I WAS ON DOCK AND SEE WITH MY OWN
EYES! FUEL OIL STARTS COMING OUT OF SHIP'S TANKS AND SOME OF CREW IS
TRAPPED BELOW WATER. SIRENS SOUND AND HARBOR EMERGENCY COMES WITH
LOCAL POLICE. I HAVE TO FLEE SCENE. I COME BACK TWO HOURS LATER AND
TAKE PHOTO FROM STERN OF OTHER SHIP:
SHIP IS RUINED! I HAVE THREE CARS WORTH
$400,000 IN HOLD RUINED. I HAVE SLOT MACHINES, VITAMINS, ELECTRONICS,
ADULT VIDEOS, OTHER PRODUCTS WORTH $1,100,000 ALL RUINED. I HAVE
CONTRABAND WORTH $700,000 ALL RUINED!!! NONE IS INSURED. IS $2,200,000
I LOSE BECAUSE OF STUPID CAPTAIN!! ONLY GOOD IS THAT CREWMEN ARE SAVED
AND NO ONE DIES. MINOR INJURIES ONLY. IS AMAZING FOR SUCH DISASTER.
I HAVE NO WAY OUT OF COUNTRY AT PRESENT. IS
ALL RUINED BEFORE MY EYES. CAPTAIN IS ARRESTED AT SCENE AND KNOWS TOO
MUCH OF ME. I HAVE CALLED OLD KGB FRIEND TO HELP GET ME OUT OF
TROUBLES. I HAVE TO HIDE OUT UNTIL FRIEND CAN GET ME OUT. I CANT TELL
YOU WHERE I AM. HAVE TO STAY QUIET.
I HAD TRAVEL BAG WITH ME ON SHORE, NEVER IT
LEAVES MY SIDE. I HAVE LAPTOP, BATTERIES, MONEY, FAKE IDENTITY,
DIGITAL CAMERA, RADIO, SET OF CLOTHES, TOILETRIES, GUN. AS ALWAYS, AM
PREPARED FOR EMERGENCY. MY CELL PHONE IS OUT OF HOURS. I HAVE TO FIND
NEW CELL PHONE TO BUY. I HAVE TO BUY NEW SUIT OF CLOTHES AND GET
HAIRCUT, SHAVE BEARD, SO THAT I NO LOOK THE SAME AS DESCRIPTION
CAPTAIN GIVES POLICE.
POLLUTION FROM FUEL OIL FINES, CLEAN
UP COSTS, AND TO REFLOAT SHIP WILL COST MR. YI AT LEAST $1,000,000. GE
GENERATOR IS WORTH $3,000,000 IS ON BOTTOM OF HARBOR. COST AT LEAST
$300,000 TO LIFT GENERATOR AND REBUILD IT.
I TOLD MR. YI TO LET ME BE CAPTAIN OF SHIP ON
THIS VOYAGE. I HAVE MASTERS PAPERS FOR OCEAN AND HARBOR NAVIGATION,
BUT HE SAYS NO. I WARNED HIM GENERATOR WAS TOO BIG FOR THIS SHIP, BUT
HE NO LISTEN.
COMRADE, I AM FUCKED RIGHT NOW. POLICE ARE
LOOKING FOR ME AND I AM HIDING. WILL TAKE 24-48 HOURS FOR SERGEI TO
GET ME OUT TO SAFE PLACE OF REFUGE. WE USE CODE WORD "PRAVDA" ON
SUBJECT LINE OF E-MAIL, JA? IN CASE I AM CAPTURED AND POLICE TRY TO
E-MAIL YOU IN MY NAME, IF WORD "PRAVDA" IS NOT ON SUBJECT LINE, THEN
DO NOT ANSWER.
REPEAT: IF WORD "PRAVDA" IS NOT ON SUBJECT
LINE, THEN DO NOT ANSWER. I ERASE THIS E-MAIL FROM HARD DRIVE AFTER
SENDING WITH SPECIAL INCINERATOR PROGRAM. YOU ALSO PUT "PRAVDA" AS
CODE WORD IN SUBJECT LINE IN ANY E-MAIL TO ME. I AM BREATHING HARD AND
HAVE BEEN KEPT MOVING. BASTARD MR. YI NO HELP RIGHT NOW. HE IS DENY
EVERYTHING TO POLICE AND BLAMES EVERYTHING ON ME. I WILL GET EVEN WITH
HIM LATER.
ZT
Poor Mark the Lad! He has lost his precious
Range Rover! And only later will he learn that his laptop was also
aboard!
CZT next sends Mark a letter without the
secret code word. This letter is funny because the Colonel dumps on Mark
the Lad by telling him that he has taken all of the available monies
from Lionel Drinkwater, some of which Mark had thought he was going to
get a sizeable percentage of for his work as Bishop Abernathy. I love
scambaiting!
Comrade Mark:
I had been in
hiding in hotel and now am on steamer heading back to Guam.
I lost $2,200,000.
Problem: Almost all money for goods I borrowed from partners.
I owe them $1,400,000. I have $900,000
covered. I wrote LD and convinced him I was
Bishop Abernathy and he wire-transferred to
me $932,000 from Elohim Society. I then
get almost $50,000 from nurse in Miami and
$100,000 for sending LD the CCP book. Still
leaves me owing partners $320,000 plus
interest of $100,000. I can get these monies paid to
partners when I get to Guam.
I never have such major loss. Mr. Yi also has
major losses and now he is urgent to
sell FELCH vitamins in Africa working with me
and you. He asks how much money you need
for new wardrobe and expenses.
Sorry Range Rover is lost. Is fault of stupid
Chinese captain. Mr. Yi is very mad at captain.
When captain gets back to China he will not
be safe. I call friend and he says captain is
asking for asylum in America because he fears
Mr. Yi will kill him. He says Mr. Yi
is Yakuza, is means Asian mafia. Stupid
captain. I ever get my hands on him he
is in trouble!
Still I want to open cybercafe in Lag. So I
talk to Mr. Yi and he says is good idea
to open five cybercafes instead. He likes
chain of stores and maybe he also
wants to open sex parlors. Is okay to have
sex parlors in Lag?
I am working on ship as navigator. Voyage
will be short. I have to see doctor
when I get to Guam. I break my arm yesterday
when steel cable breaks
and crate falls on me. I think I have broken
ribs. Have pain medicine of
opium am taking for pain. Sweet dreams it
gives!
Nothing going good for me. Is how are you?
Are you good? How is Anderson man? He
writes me and I no answer him.
ZT
Mark does not answer and so CZT sends a
letter using the code word:
Comrade:
My last letter, I
forget to add code word. Injuries I have are bad. Pain is bad. When I
get to Guam must go to hospital.
Sorry everything went
so bad. Stay safe during Nigeria elections. I hear many bad things
happen on streets.
ZT
To make nice-nice on Mark
the Lad, Sister Betty also sends him a letter indicating that he was
not the only one who lost a lot when the ship capsized:
Dear Mr. Williams:
We sent your computer and many other items
to Colonel Zule Thorn in Manila.
He told us he was going to meet one of his
colleagues in Cotonou and then
would arrange to meet you in Lagos to give
you your computer. Colonel Thorn
said he was traveling on a ship and he was
also transporting a very rare
1953 Rolls Royce Silver Shadow that Mr.
Drinkwater had sold to a wealthy man
in Lagos.
We have lost touch with Colonel Thorn.
However, the police in Malaysia
called us today to say that Mr.
Drinkwater's 1953 Rolls Royce was recovered
from a ship that had capsized in one of
their harbors. There were also some
other cars on board as well as various
items including fake Rolex watches,
fake Gucci designer clothing, and even a
very expensive statue of a jade
dragon that had been stolen last year in a
theft in Thailand. The police
have not found Colonel Thorn.
The ship's captain told the police that the
fake watches, fake Gucci
clothing, the cars, the stolen statue and
everything else on the ship all
belonged to Colonel Thorn. I am sure this
is all a great misunderstanding
but the police have put out a warrant for
the Colonel's arrest. The ship's
captain is under arrest for polluting the
harbor and using unsafe practices
to load a piece of cargo that caused the
ship to capsize. Personally, I know
the captain is lying because Colonel Thorn
is an extremely honest man.
Please contact us if you hear from Colonel
Thorn. He is very resourceful and
I'm sure he was able to escape from the
country.
Yours in Christ,
Sister Betty
Mark the Lad finally replies after almost a
week of uncharacteristic silence. When he does, he gets us all back
onto the topic of getting him some money. No matter how much drama
you throw at them, the lads always bring the topic back to asking
how soon you will send them money; of this fact you can always
absolutely count on. The lads say the exact thing Cuba Gooding's
character did in Jerry McQuire: "SHOW ME THE MONEY!" I have
italicized and highlighted the money part in Mark's letter below.
Mark also zeroes in on the $75,000 inheritance left to Bishop
Abernathy by Judy Smythe. It is galling to see how Mark cares not
that a woman was murdered in cold blood by Russian hit men; he only
wants her money!
COMRADE,
WELL SORRY FOR YOUR HEALTH YOU NEED TO
VISIT THE HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY YOU TO GUAM. SORRY FOR WHAT
HAPPENED.
YEA I GOT THE EMAIL BUT BECAUSE THE CODE
WAS NOT THERE I REFUSE TO REPLY IT. BUT IT SOUND LIKE YOU ANYWAY
AND I KNOW YOU WILL WRITE AGAIN IF YOU DO NOT HEAR FROM ME.
YOU KNOW BETTER WHAT MR. YI WILL WANT TO
SEND FOR WARDROBE. JUST TELL HIM, THEN GIVE HIM THIS NAME IDIGO
AMECHI LAGOS- NIGERIA TO SEND THE MONEY WITH.
WELL NO PROBLEM ABOUT THE CYBERCAFE IT'S
LIKE WE WILL START THAT WHEN YOU COME OVER. PLEASE REACH MR.
ANDERSON SO THAT HE WILL FLOW. WHEN YOU ARE READY TO SEND OVER
NURSE DO WITH PROPER BREAK DOWN OF BILLS HE HAS PAID YOU SO THAT
REPEAT OF ANDERSON WILL NOT HAPPEN.
I NEED MONEY BADLY NOW PLEASE TELL MR.
YI TO SEND FAST, SISTER BETTY SAY THEY SEND YOU LAPTOP FOR ME AS
BAR. WILLIAMS IF SO THEY SHOULD ALSO SEND YOU THE MONEY $5,500 SO
THAT YOU WILL SEND TO ME.
LD WANT TO MEET ME IN LAGOS OR
CAMEROON (BISHOP ABERNATHY)
AND THEY IS THIS $75T WILLED TO BISHOP
ABERNATHY BY JUDY PLEASE CLAIM AND LET ME HAVE SOME FOR NOW, THEN
WE CAN TALK ABOUT OTHER ONES LATER.
THEN LET ME KNOW HOW YOU WANT ME TO
HANDLE LD FROM MY SIDE.
I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU SOONEST. SORRY
FOR YOUR HEALTH AND I WISH YOU QUICK RECOVERY.
MARK
Mark,
Is good to hear from you. I hear is
violence due to elections in Nigeria. Are you safe where living?
Your letter has good ideas. Problem with
$75K of inheritance is LD wants letter as proof of recovery from
drug treatment program. I know LD will verify letter. So here is
what we do: I can get letter showing proof of heroin treatment. You
have to get e-mail address and when LD sends e-mail asking for proof
that letter is true, you pose as "Dr. Ubani Zbeta" -- doctor who
treated BA before, ja? Just in reply say "Yes BA pass treatment, is
drug free," I will tell you what to say. Mrs. Betty is copying BA's
personal file and sneding it to me in Guam. I had to pay her $5000
for fee. She is good spy for me but not cheap spy. I pay her $3000
each month plus fee for each job because of risk. LD never calls
people and so we are safe from phone call. He does not like his
picture take or voice heard. Is superstitous, ja? Has CCP book now
and goes back to Crystal Cave now with new team to find holy relics.
My arm is bad shape and is infected.
Ribs are broken. I will itemize monies nurse in Miami sneds me. Is
Anderson man in contact? I have limited time on ship for personal
work. Ship is full of crew from India who yell and fight. Chinese
captain is insane and hits crew with bamboo stick when mistakes are
made. Captain makes one man his head bleed badly. I say to captain
to be humane to crew and he yells and points pistol at me tells me
to shut up. He is pig and I will have Alexi punish him when we get
to Guam. One crewman from India I catch spying into my laptop. I ask
why he looks. He says he looks for women pictures of sex. I tell him
to masturbate elsewhere, for he disgusts me. I then take pliers and
twist his ear until he screams like little girl. I tell him to stay
out of my cabin and belongings. Whole damn ship is crazy like this
with Indians yelling and cooking of food that smells like dead goats
with curry.
So you want $5500 from Mrs. Betty? You
ehav to write her in name of Williams and ask her for "Circulation
Fees" of $5500. She will know what means. Mr. Yi say we wait until I
am in Guam. He asks if you have been male model and can you pose in
thong underwear for FELCH posters? I say I don't know, ask Mark if
he will pose in thong underwear, what do I know of glamour? How is
your body for modeling? Are you too fat to model with no shirt on?
Do not be too fat or Mr. Yi look for sleeker male model. He wants
glamourous, healthful man. He likes facial features you have and say
you look healthful. He asks what diet is you take for your health?
ZT
After
fucking so badly with Mark the Lad, I need to make nice-nice on him
even more. Accordingly, Sister Better will send him $2500 by WU:
Dear Barrister Williams:
Colonel Thorn sent me an e-mail requesting
me to send $2500.00 to his
client, Mr. Idigo Amechi of Lagos, Nigeria,
by Western Union. We do not have WU facilities on
Drinkwater Island and so I have filled out
a WU form and am sending the form and the money out
on the Monday cargo flight.
The pilot of the cargo plane will go to the
WU office in French Tahiti when
he arrives tomorrow afternoon. If you go to
the WU office in Lagos and the
money is not there it means that the pilot
has not arrived at the WU office
in French Tahiti. Sometimes the plane is
delayed if the weather is bad or
has to stop at another island. I have
attached the WU form so you will have
it for your client.
Regards,
Sister Betty
Here is the WU attachment Sister Betty
included. It was made by RevRKK and is a dandy little form:
DOCUMENT NOT SHOWN FOR SECURITY
REASONS
Is Mark the Lad going to
get money this easily? Of course not. In fact, I posted my strategy
for this next phase of the bait on 419eater.com:

My character Mrs. Betty has just sent Barr. Williams an
e-mail stating that he will get $2500 from WU tomorrow.
RevRKK's WU form is attached.
However, as Drinkwater Island has no WU facility, the money
will be sent as soon as the pilot of Monday's cargo flight
lands in Nuit, French Tahiti.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Betty forgot to include the control
question and answer in her e-mail, thus necessitating an
e-mail from Barr. Williams to ask for it. This will cause a
delay during which time the the pilot will go into the WU
office in Nuit to send the money.
When the pilot tries to send the money, the Nuit WU office
will have this surprising message appear on their computer
screen:
The pilot will not know what to do and so he will e-mail
Mrs. Betty the screenshot.
Mrs. Betty will then e-mail Barr. Williams and attach a copy
of the screenshot. She will tell Williams that she is sure
there is some kind of awful misunderstanding and that she
asked the WU office in Nuit not to contact Interpol. She
will then give Barr. Williams the control question and
answer and say that the pilot was able to send the money but
had to sign, "some kind of form."
Barr. Williams' problem is that he will think he risks
arrests in Lagos if he goes to collect the money at WU given
the computer warning that he is a criminal. Thus, he will
have to ask Mrs. Betty to re-send to another name and the
process starts over. So Mrs. Betty looks like she is trying
to help him and the charade of good faith on her part is
maintained. The second name will of course appear on the
banned list.
Essentially, I have already planned out the lad's upcoming
week and it will not be pleasant. That money is always so
damn close, isn't it? That's just exactly what they do to
their victims and that's what we need to keep doing to them! |
