DIPLOMATIC ONSLAUGHT

A SCAMBAIT IN WHICH THE MUGU DOESN'T KNOW EXACTLY JUST WHOM

HE IS DEALING WITH OR EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING.

WARNING: A DIPLOMATIC ONSLAUGHT BETWEEN NATIONS IS THREATENED BY THIS SCAMBAIT!!!

 

DRAMATIS PERSONAE:

MR. JOSEPH KAYODE NAIEJU -- MUGU CONMAN CRIMINAL

REVEREND E. DWAYNE LOOPER -- MINISTER WHO IS SHOT BY MY VAPORWARE LADS

MR. LIONEL DRINKWATER -- GOOD GUY AND MILLIONAIRE BON VIVANT

COLONEL ZULE THORN -- EX KGB OFFICER AND DIRECTOR OF SECURITY FOR LIONEL DRINKWATER

MR. KENNETH MUSTAPAHA -- A VAPORWARE GUYMAN I MADE UP TO CONFUSE THE MUGU.

MR. IQBAL HUSSEIN -- ANOTHER VAPORWARE MUGU

 

I like to use ensemble casts in my scambaiting. At the outset, I have five characters arrayed against one mugu. The advantage is mine from the outset because I can have my characters each write e-mails and the mugu has to keep track of who said what to whom. If this is chess, I have five pieces on the board to his one.

Comes first the usual letter from Mr., Naiyeju, who has apparently scammed the name of Rev. Looper from a guestbook. He calls Rev. Looper "Madam" which shows he does not know WTF he is doing because he uses "Mr." to speak of Looper in the address line. Sloppiness! Sheer inexcusable sloppiness!!! He will be punished for this insult to Rev. Looper's masculinity:

From: Mr. Joseph Kayode Naiyeju

To the Kind Attention of: Mr. Dr. E Dwayne Looper

Madam,

I have been following the transfer process of the estate, whose funds of $40.5M is still lying fallow in the Eco bank. Ltd, I have discussed this
with the top management of my bank Commercial BANK (Credit Lyonnais) Ltd. , and we have decided to make sure that we use everything within our power to ensure that the money is brought to the beneficiary. In essence we have set all machinery in motion to making sure that all pre-requisite charges, prior to the
total reconciliation of the estate is deducted from the principal amount prior to final settlement.

Therefore, we have decided that in other to avert all the fees being charged upfront, that the money has to be paid cash and all  the expenses being deducted from the total estate, and the money would be delivered to you in cash, without you making any expenses, the shipment would be given full diplomatic immunity to be delivered unopened, and it will be delivered to you at your doorstep without
any hindrance as it will be accorded full diplomatic immunity.

We have decided to do this in order to avoid the administrative ineptitude and bureaucratic bottleneck of transfer of funds which often give rise to charges that make beneficiary not to get what is due to them, and by this we have decided to bring your money cash to you. If you want us to deliver to your bank we will do that, but if you want us to deliver at your house we will also do that, anywhere
where you feel you have security we will make sure that it is delivered there.

Therefore, I would like to have your address and your phone and fax numbers so that we can be communicating anytime, I have added you on MSM chat online as: jkn3057@hotmail.com  If you are online we can be talking more frequently. I will give you all our numbers, but before then I will make sure that you are not
contacting anybody on this untill we deliver your money to you. I want you to desist from sending any money to anybody not even the money  being demanded to sign documents, all would be taken care of, from the source.

Thanks for your co-operation

Yours Faithfully,

Mr. Joseph Naiyeju

 

I decide to confuse "Madam" Joseph Naiyeju by having Colonel Thorn send a confusing reply on behalf of Lionel Drinkwater. I want to create the appearance that Mr. Naiyeju has stumbled into the middle of something:
 

I am Colonel Zule Thorn, Director of Security for Mr. Lionel Drinkwater. I am screening all e-mails until current investigation is resolved.
You will have to tell me where you are physically located so that I and my associates can meet you. If like, we meet
in Russian Embassy in Lagos where your security and safety are ensured.
 
Please advise when we can meet in person. IM should never be used in such large transactions. In person meeting is better, ja?
 
Colonel Zule Thorn
 

The mugu asks for clarification:

Please verify if you are the intended recipient of this message, or are you representing Dr. Dwayne Looper, this is a very important mesage and we would like to have it be passed on to the intended recipient, if he wants meeting first, he can come  to our head Office and meet relevant people that can help him in all he would like to know about his money and what is being done towards the release, as I wrote below. I want objective report as this payment is very serious as it affect all thegovernment agencies that has been delaying the transfer of the money. I want you to indicate your interest or tell us that you have forfeited the money, as we have taken all necessary measures to ensure that all is done to your satisfaction.

Yours Faithfully,

Joseph Kayode Naiyeju

 

Now Rev. Looper jumps in and claims that a "Mr. Kenneth Mustapha" and a "Mr. Iqbal Hussein" have contacted him regarding this matter. The lads hate it when it looks like they have been hacked by another mugu, especially when you are, as Looper is doing, offering lavish gifts and cash to the other guymen:

I am Reverend E. Dwayne Looper, the intended recipient of your message. Mr. Kenneth Mustapha of your office contacted me by phone and explained everything to me. I then wire transferred $25,000 USD to the Gliddenhaus Bank Account in Amsterdam as he requested. I am to meet Mr. Mustapha at Schilpol Airport next week with the remaining $50,000 needed to effect the transfer of $40,500,000 into my nominated account with the Federal Bank of the Sovereignty of Drinkwater Island.
 
I am purchasing my ticket to Amsterdam and am planning on a good meeting at the Security Company where I shall take possession of the trunk boxes and then effect the transfer to my nominated account via Credit Suisse Escrow Services. I will also bring Mr. Mustapha the Sony laptop computer and the Rolex Perpetual Oyster watch he requested as gifts for Mr. Iqbal Hussein, the President of the Royal Dutch Bankers Guild.

Rev. E. Dwayne Looper
Senior Pastor
Looper International Ministries

The Mugu warns Looper not to deal with the Messrs. Kenneth Mustapha and Iqbal Hussein. A very common tactic of mugus, which we see in this next letter, is to claim that they are honest and the other mugus are crooks: 

Attn: Reverend E. Dwayne Looper

From: Mr. Joseph Kayode Naiyeju

The Official total Reconciliation of $40.5M (Forty Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only)

Sir,

I am still very confused about the situation, this mails has to be sent to the intended recipient as stated above, as this is a matter of urgent national importance, Rev. Looper has been bequatted  the aforementioned sum, from Eco Bank in Benin Republic, and due to the fact that so many people and officials has conspicously soiled their hands with the administrative ineptitude and bureaucratic bottleneck in the reconciliation of the estate, African Development Bank (ADB) in conjuction with Commercial Bank (Credit Lyonnais)  PLC , has taken it upon themselves to make the payment to you in the process which I have enumerated to you before, which is to bring to you your money to any destination of your choice without you sending any money to anybody or buying anything to anybody untill the money reached your destination.

Mr. Kenneth Mustapha and Mr. Iqbal Hussein has erred the law of banking regulations by collecting $25000 from you and asking you to come in cash at schipol Airport  Amsterdam with $50,000 and to buy Rolex Watches and Sonny Laptop Computers for gratifications, as I told you the whole things look fraudulent, and we .have the mandate of the manegemnt of the aforementioned bank to advise you against it. African Development Bank  has relocated the administration of the banking activities and soley to fully reconcile your estate to Commercial Bank (cl) Nig. PLC and we have taken it upon ourselves to making sure that you are not to be misled, by any officials in the name of paying you your money and asking you to pay money in the process, it is absurd and absolutely unbanking and we seriously advise against it.

Consequently, you should contact me immediately, so that we will give you all you will have to provide in order to have your total estate be paid to you without you sending any money to anybody or travelling any place with such an amount of money for something that will not be done but to collect your money  and disappear, you should cancel the travelling immediately and you are not to send any money to anybody under any disguise, you should contect this office for all assistence, your money would be packaged and ship to any destination of your choice and it will be delivered to that place with full diplomatic immunity to be delivered unopened, and all expenses would have to be made from the money and not from your money in your pocket, you have paid so much money without any result, and I have been monitoring the process and we have come to a conclusion that it is now ripe for you to receive your money without you paying any money to anybody under any circumstances.< /P>

You can reach me now on this phone : 234 1 7763427 Mobile: 234 803 3374272 Fax: 234 1 7591878.

I want you to call me so that I will tell you what and what to do in order to get your money and not to travel anywhere with anything.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Yours Faithfully,

Dr. Joseph Kayode Naiyeju

 

Mr. Naiyeju next sends a letter to Colonel Thorn just to cover all of his bases. He again warns Thorn that Looper should not go to Holland:

Attn: Colonel Zule Thorn, 
        Director of Security for Mr. Lionel Drinkwater
.

From: Mr. Joseph Kayode Naiyeju
          Director of Foreign Operation
          Commercial Bank (cl) Nig. PLC

Re: Final Payment of $40.5M ( Forty Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S Dollars Only

Sir,

I have sent a detailed mail to Rev. Looper, and if you have access to the mail, please do read it and give us advice on what should be done to stop him from going to send money to Holland, I have told him as you can see from my e-mails that he will not be subjected to any upfront payment to anybody under any guise or any reason, his money would be packaged and shipped to him, and all expenses would be from the money, though details of what should be done to give us the immunity to have access to the fund for the excersize would be given to him.  I want you to contact me on the following numbers, for more details and clarifications. Tel: 234 1 7763427 Mobile: 234 803 3374272 Fax: 234 1 7591878.

I am waiting for your call now.

Yours Faithfully,

Dr. J.K.Naiyeju

 

Colonel Thorn introduces more confusion. Why not?
 
 
I am Colonel Zule Thorn, Director of Security for Mr. Lionel Drinkwater.
 
The Rev. E. Dwayne Looper has taken it upon himself to use this company e-mail address to conduct business with persons in Holland, this despite my suggestion to him not to do so. However, as Rev. Looper is a member of the Board of Directors, I have no authority over him. Please be aware that many people in Drinkwater Financial Services use this e-mail address and its privacy is not guaranteed.
 
I wish clarifying details on Mr. Kenneth Mustpha. Mr. Drinkwater does not wish to be engaged in any business transaction unless he knows the identities of the parties. Please have Mr. Mustapha contact me and I will forward his messages to Rev. Looper and/or Mr. Drinkwater.
 
Were you the gentlemen with the bank account in Geneva that we were to forward the $97,358.13 cheque to for farm equipment? Or was that your
colleagues in Cameroon? Please provide invoices as they were lost due to a hard drive crash. If you do not provide invoices, you will not be paid in a timely fashion. The UN Fund for the purchase of farm equipment requires invoices and photo identifications before funds can be disbursed.
 
Regards,
 
Colonel Zule Thorn
 

The mugu sends another letter asking for clarification:

Dear Mr. Zule

 
Below is the message I purpotedly received from Rev. Looper, and I am sure you red the mail I sent to him,  I am still surprised at this development, but since you have agreed with Mr. Drinkwater to do the business on behalf  Mr. Looper I would like to state here that, you have to be objective and completely adhere to my instructions so that we will not have any problem in the effective and efficient transfer of the money. I would like you to give me the information I requested. At this point, I would like to know if you have the mandate of Rev. Looper to collect the money on his behalf, like I told you, I want him to write me in that regards, I want you to give me your contact information, and the contact information of Rev. Looper, from there I will give you all the requirements that we will need to effect the payment.
 
Best regards,
 
Dr. J. K. Naiyeju

(Here he cuts and pastes Looper's earlier letter verbatim):

  
I am Reverend E. Dwayne Looper, the intended recipient of your message. Mr. Kenneth Mustapha of your office contacted me by phone and explained everything to me. I then wire transferred $25,000 USD to the Gliddenhaus Bank Account in Amsterdam as he requested. I am to meet Mr. Mustapha at Schilpol Airport next week with the remaining $50,000 needed to effect the transfer of $40,500,000 into my nominated account with the Federal Bank of the Sovereignty of Drinkwater Island.

Colonel Thorn jumps back in to maintain the confusion. Colonel Thorn does not do phone calls. He also informs the mugu that Looper was shot by the criminals in Amsterdam:

Dear Comrade Naiyeju:
 
Please understand me. I use one rule: If it is not in writing, it does not exist. When I was in KGB, we were trained to put everything in writing, ja? For this reason, I will not call you on phone, ja? When it is right time, we will meet in person, face to face as men should. Things said on phone sometimes are misunderstoods by one or both partys and so we write everything and then meet in person.
 
So, okay, your communication is received by Mr. Drinkwater and he instructs me to handle this assignment. How do you propose to send us monies? Please specify to us the precise modalities and we will follow to the letter. I do not deviate from instructions and am military man by training. I am also intelligence officer by training and so act to ensure integrity and truthfulness of informations, ja?
 
Is brutal what happened to Rev. Looper. He was shot by man with gun in Amsterdam. Keep quiet, ja? My agents I had following Rev. Looper in secret for his safety. African men, three, approach and one shot Rev. Looper suddenly. My men fire back, wounding Africans. Police sirens are heard. My men take Rev. Looper but first strip ID and wallets from criminals. I warned Looper, he is stupid fool and not listened. His wound is not so bad. He will live. African men escaped with no police finding them. We know who criminals are and will handle situation. No police are needed. Keep quite on this, comrade.
 
Please, I am very serious man. I treat you with respect and seriousness and I expect same, ja? Everything must be in writing at first. When mutual trust is established, then maybe phone call. You have no need for my personal cell phone until trust is established. You should not want me to have your cell phone until trust is established. Is called "keeping safe distance at first" and is principal rationale of sound, safe relationship for strangers are first establishing relationship. It is Russian way and is good way. But still, I call you "comrade" which is "friend" and so you will know is initial trust of some discernable quantity which is good to nature of conversational dialogue.  
 
Now please specify exact details and we will procede.
 
Colonel Zule Thorn.
 
 
Colonel Thorn then answers the lad's earlier letter. This letter is to let the lad know that Colonel Thorn is empowered to act on behalf of Looper, who is recovering from being shot by 419 gangsters. The e-mail is also a big time trolling letter because Colonel Thorn lets the mugu know that Thorn's men hit the jackpot when, after shooting the bad guys who shot Looper, took the laptop belonging to a master 419 criminal. My intent here is to see if the lad will take the bait and ask to get his hands on what could be an extremely valuable laptop jammed with priceless data from a master guyman: 
 
Privet Comrade Naiyeju:
 
I am authorised to act on behalf of Rev. Dr. E. Dwayne Looper. I have him in a safe place recovering from gunshot wound. First is good news. I had convinced Rev. Dr. Looper to wear body armor when he was to meet this Kenneth Mustapha, which is not gangster's real name. Because of what we seized with ID and his laptop I now know his real identity. He in Nigerian. Is Ibo.
 
Is no problem for me to take care of  he and his two companions at time and place of my choosing. I have men watching them. Nigerian took bullets in sholder and upper leg and is not so in good shape. He cannot move and cannot call police. Is not good to recover in slum tenement in winter in Amsterdam. My men cut heat to building. Nigerian is very cold and wounded. He knows former Stasi agents, men who work for me, are waiting. I hire men who worked for Ministerium für Staatssicherheit, which is called the Stasi. They do good work, almost as good as KGB I tell them. So this Nigerian gangster either turns himself in for crime or Stasi gets him. Is not good either way for he and the two other assassins who tried to rob and kill Looper. Is not good at all and will get worse.
 
They are rats in hole. The Nigerian had laptop computer with him when shooting happened and one of my men got his laptop. Is full of more than 2000 e-mail addresses and names of people. The hard drive documents financial crimes Nigerian and his gangster associates were perpetrating against people in West using, how you say? Swindles? Ja, is crime of posing as someone else and asking for monies in advance. Nigerian gangster had collected at least $750,000 in money from Western Union in last two years and had robbed what looks like maybe 50 people who flew to Schilpol with large amounts of cash in excess of $1,000,000. He is some kind of major leader of gangster group. I have not decided what to do with laptop and evidence. This Nigerian trusted no one and so carried his laptop in locked diplomatic pouch with him in backpack. Is not good idea to take identification or computers on you when commit crimes. Not good idea. Nigerian is amateur when he goes on operations. When I was Colonel in KGB my men never carried ID documents or anything could be traced to Soviet Union. The Nigerian is paranoid. His laptop also has very much pornography on it and e-mails to his family in Lagos. When he was shot he fell down wounded with other two men wounded. My men run to Nigerian man and strip men of ID and take Nigerian's backpack as well. His laptop is treasure trove. Has his whole operation inside. I now know more about this Nigerian man than he knows about himself.   
 
So I tell Rev. Dr. Looper he make big mistake by not listening to you, Comrade Naiyeju, in your original proposal, ja? Comrade Looper agrees and instructs me to be his diplomate in this transcation and faxes me signed Power of Attorney. I am ready to procede on his behalf. I am in Cameroon at present time on business. Where are you located in world? I have Mr. Drinkwater's C-130 cargo plane available to me and my men. $40,500,000 is lot of money. It takes up much space. Most people never see million dollars American in $100 dollar bills. I have. Is very big cube of money. $40,500,000 is very big block of cash, especially if in smaller denominations such as twenty dollar bills.  
 
When I was in KGB, I took $100,000,000 in American cash money to Archangel for Soviet submarine to transport to secret locations. Is lot of money to handle. I needed a team of agents. I was on submarine for ten days guarding cash with other political officers. Crew knew much money was on board, but not how much. They were not allowed in our area of submarine with money. So your $40,500,000 is very large sum of cash and we will have need for haulage. Where is it in vault? I need to plan to get my C-130 and maybe armored cars to location of money. Is much logistics to handle. Not so easy to move that much cash. Please now, comrade, tell me what modalities we will use for this transaction? 
  
Do Svidaniya,
 
Colonel Zule Thorn
 

The lad tells Colonel Thorn that a bank will have to do the transfer and that Colonel Thorn cannot use his airplane to collect the money. Although the lad says there is no upfront monies, you can see the lad setting the stage for a third party to collect some kind of advance fees:

 

Sir,

I thank you so much for your email, I think I am lost at your observations, like I told you in my first mail, this money is being paid from African Development Bank in conjuction with Commercial Bank Credit Lyonnais and Eco Bank, arrangements has already been concluded on how movement of cash will go. All you should do is to send us the photopage of your international passport or any other forms of identifications, and send us a letter of authorisation to offset all charges from the money instead of you doing that from your pocket, with the letter of authorization dully signed and stamped we could do all prerequisites expenses from the estate, and finally you should nominate a destination where you would like the money be delivered. However, the paying bank will take the discretion of bringing the money cash to your door step and not you providing aircraft for that, it is the responsibility of the paying bank to provide diplomatic immunity and status for the money to be de livered to you uninspected and unopened. I want you to send the requirements immediately and do give me your phone and fax numbers so that we can talk this over and rub minds on some grey areas so that we will all understand everything in the transaction.

Best regards,

Dr. J.K Naiyeju

Dear Dr. Naiyeju:
 
Please find my photo identification as you requested. It is my Employee ID card. I never send out my passport so please do not ask. This is a post-911 measure implemented by my Security Staff.
 
 

Regards,
 
Lionel Drinkwater, Esq.
CEO
Drinkwater Financial Services
 
 


Lionel Drinkwater now jumps back in so that optimal confusion may be maintained:

Dear Dr. Naiyeju:
 
I understand what you are telling me. What I failed to mention is that I own my own bank. It is located on my family's island in French Tahiti.
My family has its own principality, namely Drinkwater Island, a former colony of the French Protectorate of Islands. My bank is Drinkwater
Financial Services dba Drinkwater Financial Ventures LLC. My family is somewhat akin to the Royal Family of Monaco insofar as we
control a very small nation state in French Tahiti whereas they control a small nation state on the French Riveria. The same situation
obtains and we too have hotels and casinos and cater primarily to the very wealthy and heads of state who want privacy and the utmost
in luxury. We never admit visitors onto Drinkwater Island who have a documented net worth less than $10,000,000. In this manner, our guests
feel that they are amongst their own kind. I am sure that you, as a wealthy man, can appreciate our approach.
 
Here is my banking information:
 
Bank: Drinkwater Financial Services  -- https://www.angelfire.com/vt2/drinkwater/ -- Please check "Banking Services" Link
BANK ADDRESS: 77 Boulevard of the Embassies, Drinkwater Island, R23, French Protectorate of Islanbs 
ACCOUNT NUMBER: 148563
SWIFT CODE: 9A9J5576
ACCOUNT NAME: Drinkwater Ventures LLC as Trustee for The Drinkwater Gran Duchee Family Trust
PHONE NUMBER: I use a marine band radio as I live on an island. There is no phone service. Do you have a Marine Radio or Satellite Phone? 
FAX NUMBER: I must use a satellite relay via an American internet service and it is expensive. Can you transmit documents by e-mail?
 
 
So you see, as I own a bank, I can take possession of monies and transport the same in the name of, and under the authority, of Drinkwater Financial Services
and the Sovereign Principality of Drinkwater Island. Sir, I am a very wealthy man and I come from a very wealthy family. I have both earned money and have inherited money. I know how to handle very large financial transactions with trouble-free precision, privacy, and the utmost skill. Many of the world's leading individuals depend upon me and my employees to handle their financial affairs with privacy, accuracy, and restraint.
 
Because of the nature of my work, I also own Drinkwater Air Cargo in order to provide cargo services worldwide for my private and governmental customers. As a principality, Drinkwater Island grants passports and has full diplomatic recognition at the United Nations. We can provide diplomatic immunity under our flag, which flag you will see proudly waving at the United Nations:
 
 
The Flag of the Principality of Drinkwater Island
 
I hope this clarifies matters for you. Now please, inform me of the next steps and I will handle this matter immediately. I am an extremely busy man. All you need to do is tell me where the money is physically located and I can enact all modalities with stunning alacrity and effect.
 
With Best Regards,
 
Lionel Drinkwater, Esq. 

So there you go: Lionel has his own country which can confer diplomatic immunity, owns his own bank, and has his own transport service! All of this serves to cut the lad off at the pass and gives him no options to collect fees. Yet he is inventive and will reply with some stipulation that will allow him to collect advance fees.

 

Attn: Mr. Lionel Drinkwater

       Mr. Reverend E. Dwayne Looper

Yours Honours

We have red and visited the site you provided, due to the formidable banking services you have in the Drinkwater Island, we have decided, to make all arrangement towards the total reconciliation of the estate through a telegraphic transfer, instead of the packaging and shipment of the fund as earlier suggested, due to the magnitude and the volume of the money involved, we have taken into consideration the basic principles of the personality involved, and have decided to avert all areas of questionable banking transaction of loading money in crates and shipping it to an Island, it may bring diplomatic onslaught between country and country, and taken into consideration the personality involved the funds would be transfered from our afiliate branch in Madrid Spain.

Details of modalities of transfer process would be given to you in due course, however, a transfer form would be given to you to fill and return to us so that we can submit it to the bank Directors of the consortium of the three paying bank for approval, and after that, offshore paying bank in Spain would be given instruction to release your money to you. If you still want to have the money be packaged and ship to you, as you said you will manage the situation, then you will nominate a destination where you would like the money be shipped.

Thanks for your cooperation,

Yours Faithfully,

Dr. Joseph Kayode Naiyeju

N/B I do not think that living in the Island of Drinkwater can make you incommunicado, you should provide a working telephone number where you would be reached, I don't think, you should give us working fax line as I gave you before for fax communication.

 

Dear Dr. Naiyeju:
 
I apologize for the delay. I was incommunicado with the Ambassador from Chile and my secretary forgot to turn on my auto-responder.
I received your communication and am somewhat puzzled. I have all of the usual modalities in place to effect this transaction with the least expense to all persons involved. I can confer diplomatic immunity on shipments without causing a diplomatic onslaught and my transport air service routinely transports large sums of cash from many casinos to the vaults of Geneva, The Bahamas, and Drinkwater Island.
 
As you see a problem with my suggested and proven transport methodology, however, we will do a wire transfer as you have recommended. Please advise on the details. I am normally available by phone, but I do not recommend it as the American CIA intercepts all cell phone communications in this part of the world. I use a satellite uplink for e-mail an it is secure. Moreover, for the next few days I will be in the mountains of my island helping a defense contractor site radar stations to upgrade out airport. This is a $30,000,000 project and I am personally superintending it. My concern is that the radars be placed in such a way as to not detract from the natural beauty of Drinkwater Island. The US Air Force is also involved as they are paying for much of the installation as it will link into their Defense Network in the South Pacific. My cell phone does not work up here in the mountains. Only my satellite or K Band Marconi Crystal Radio Set works.
 
My security forces last year caught Al Qaeda forces trying to come ashore onto Drinkwater Island in small boats. The intention of the criminals was to take hostages and steal money from the vaults of our banks and casinos. However, our security forces were ready and killed most of the Al Qaeda forces. The members we captured were interrogated and then hanged in the mango groves. This event was not publicized as I ordered it not to be publicized. The US authorities agreed with me. The US then proposed that we upgrade our radar system to better see the approach of potentially hostile aircraft. We do have anti-aircraft missile batteries stationed around the island and have had to shoot down various planes through the years, mostly drug smugglers and would-be cosmetologists bent on landing upon our sovereign soil.
 
I will be in the bush all day, but will uplink by satellite periodically to check e-mails. If you have a marine band radio, you can reach me by radio. If you have a K Band Marconi Crystal Radiophone, you can reach me on Channel 122 under the call sign, "Riptide."
 
Regards,
 
Lionel Drinkwater, Esq.
