{URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL}
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
{ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)
Dear sir,
We want to transfer to overseas ($ 126,000.000.00 USD) One hundred
and
Twenty six million United States Dollars) from a Bank in Africa,
I want
to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who
will be
capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or
to set up a new
Bank
a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve
to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till
the end
for this important business trusting in you and believing in God
that you
will never let me down either now or in future.
I am Mr. Murphey Motombo, the Auditor General of a bank in Africa,
during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund
in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody
has operated on this account again, after going through some old
files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account
died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do
not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.
the owner of this account is Mr. Phillip Morris, a foreigner,
and a sailor, and he died, since 1993. and no other person knows
about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has
no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well
that Phillip Morris until his death was the manager Morris &
Morris Coy.(pty). SA.
We will start the first transfer with Twenty six million [$26,000.000]
upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side,
we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount
to your account.
The amount involved is (USD 126M) One hundred and Twenty Six million
United States Dollars, only I want to first transfer $26,000.000
[Twenty Six million United States Dollar from this money into
a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't
know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because
this money can not be approved to a local person here, without
valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved
to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers
license and foreign a/c because the money is in us dollars and
the former owner of the a/c Mr. Phillip Morris is a foreigner
too, [and the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c.
However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together
I got your contact address from the Girl who operates computer,
I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never
let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently
so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send
also your private telephone and fax number including the full
details of the account to be used for the deposit.
I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign
a binding agreement that will bind us together before transferring
the money to any account of your choice where the fund will be
safe. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and
investments.
I need your full co-operation to make this work fine. because
the
management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who
has correct information of this account, which I will give to
you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that
you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank
official who is deeply involved with me in this business.
I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me
down.
With my influence and the position of the bank official we can
transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which
you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact
pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The
bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately
we receive this money leaving no trace to any place
and to build confidence you can come immediately to discuss with
me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your
presence and three of us will fly to your country at least two
days ahead of the money going into the account.
I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from
you that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account.
I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals
for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate
clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.
At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the
total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses
both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.
I look forward to your earliest reply through my email.
You should try to call me on my satelite phones no.
874-762727948,+871-762727948,+870-762727948. if you are calling
my No. dial
the way you use to call other countries, do not put South African

Dear Mr. Motombo:
A trusted employee has forwarded your message to me. First of
all, thank you for telling me about yourself. Let me respond with
some information about myself. I am a successful entrepreneur
and inventor. You may have heard of the Bass-O-Matic. Well, that's
not mine, but I did come up with the Smelt Slusher, which actually
works much better and has netted me a small fortune from the fast-food
industry. Other inventions include a very popular home-protection
device. It's the BarfLog. Certainly you've heard of it. If not,
tell me and I'll explain this unique device and even send you
one.
Regarding your comments about "floating money," I certainly
hope the royal throne chair was not involved. I understand that
$126 million is a plentiful sum, but can't you use some Charmin
instead? Just a suggestion.
I propose that we schedule a face-to-face meeting as soon as
possible to discuss this transaction. All the best,
Brad Christensen
______________________
Dear Mr. Motombo:
I am wondering why you haven't responded to my e-mail of Friday,
Jan. 17. The employee who forwarded your proposal message to me
was Tracy L. Williams. She works at Monrovia, which is a storage
and distribution company for the BarfLog and other unique devices
I have invented. She felt as the CEO of my company I would be
in a better position to be involved in this opportunity.

Dear Brad Christensen,
Thanks for your kind mail, the contents of the
mail is well understood. I was so suprised about your mail because
i only sent this mail to Tracy Williams and nobody else. Anyway
thanks for your positive response, i want you to know that the
business is very safe and risk free for both of us. What you need
to be doing is to follow the instructions as i will be getting
it from the insider we have in the bank.
However, you should note that it will take 14
banking days to get all the papers ready before payment into your
a/c from the date you submit the a/c informations which will be
used for the transfer, remember any account can serve for the
transfer whether there is money in it or not, new, old, etc, so
far you are the only signatory to the account.
I will be sending you all transaction documents
the very moment they becomes available so we still have much time
to be exchanging mails and talking on phone before the money will
go into the a/c. You should therefore, send the a/c informations
and your private telephone nos for easy communications to enable
us start the processing of the foreign payment documents on time.
I tried to contact you on phone but could not
get through, try to call me as soon as you receive this mail.
Call me on this tel nos. +874-762-727948, +870-762-727948,
+871-762-727948, It's a satelite phone, when dialing, do not add
South African country code, only add your country's international
dial out code. Or my South Africa number +27-83-726-5625.
I wait for the account informations immediately.
Kind regards,
Dr. Murphey Motombo.

Dear Dr. Motombo:
My phone and fax numbers are below my name. My business account
is UR2-DUM-52910381 at the First Ronco Bank of Burbank. However,
I would like to set up a face-to-face meeting with you before
we proceed in these matters. Appropriate caution and the ability
to deal personally with people have helped me build a very successful
business.
And I am extremely proud and protective of my business. No other
company has created and distributed so many fine products over
the past five years. I mentioned the Smelt Slusher fast-food breakthrough
and the BarfLog home protection device. But wait - there's more!
The Exac-Toe finger and toe nail clipper that works like an automatic
pencil sharpener. It slices, it dices. And don't forget the Presto-Itz-Gon
disappearing spray paint that has put those irritating taggers
out of business for good! Sales of my products topped $12 million
last year and are expected to double this year! Let me know if
you'd like to know more about the BarfLog, my most popular invention.
Act now and I'll send you a set of BarfLogs for free.
Meantime, I shall eagerly await your response about possible
meeting sites.

effactive communications.
Yes, there is a need for us to see before the

Re: Release of $126,000,000.00 U.S. dollars, (One
Hundred and Twenty Six Million U.S. Dollars Only) on
account number 202-15689-1 of Phillip Morris.
Dear Sir,
Reference to the above stated Account No. 202-15689-1 of the
late Mr. Phillip Morris, with a credit balance of 126 Million
Point Zero -Zero U.S. Dollars Only.
I have been advised by counsel that I am the designated beneficiary
to the above referenced, dormant account, held by the late Mr.
Phillip Morris.
As such, we wish to apply for the release of the total said amount
and initial partial payment of $26, 000,000.00 (Twenty Six Million
U.S. Dollars Only) in our favor, representing the first phase
payment from the credit balance in the said account.
In accordance with the National and International Laws of Inheritance,
kindly remit the stated amount in full to our account number stated
below:
Beneficiary name: Brad Christensen
A/c number: UR2-DUM-52910381
Bank name: First Ronco Bank of Burbank
Bank address: 4286 Popeil Ave., Burbank, CA
91505
This request is predicated on the fact that since the death of
Mr. Phillip Morris, who was entrusted with The Management of Morris
& Morris Coy.(pty). SA. the need for the transfer of the money
in the account becomes imperative.
We shall therefore be very grateful if this request meets with
your favorable consideration.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Brad Christensen.

Dear Brad Christensen,
I am very very interested in your products and
I am
going to come to your office after the transfer of
funds into your a/c, so the meeting side will be in US
and I will also try to call you back again with the
password, and as soon as you get any information from
the Bank in South Africa you let me know. Try to call
me.

Dear Dr. Motombo:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for preparing and sending my
account information to your bank. It seems unusual for the bank
to be on the 17th floor of a building. Generally banks are on
the ground floors of buildings. Does this bank not want any business
or is it customary for banks in Africa to be on the 17th floor?
The bank has not called me yet. And I have been unable to call
you because I am unfamiliar in placing international calls and
do not want to get my staff involved.
I am very happy to hear you're interested in my products, but
you haven't specified which ones have captured your attention.
I've offered several times now to give you a free set of valuable
BarfLogs, but you haven't responded. Also, I would like to market
some of my products in Africa and would appreciate your advice
on which ones would be in greatest demand.
Soon I will add to my product line a fabulous new breakthrough
for dieters. It's "Where's The Spud Poof Chips," which
are zero-calory disintegrating potato chips. Reacting in seconds
to saliva, each Poof Chip transforms into a small burst of methane
gas. Ideally the methane should be expelled from the mouth. But
in testing some subjects have swallowed the chip too soon, creating
certain internal problems. We of course will rectify this situation
by placing a warning on the back of each package.

Dear Brad Christensen,
Thanks for your kind mail. I am interested in
your
product but we will discuss about that after
successful transfer to your account, for now i'm very
busy with the bank. I'm trying to put all the
necessary documents in place so that we will be 100%
sure of the money going into your account, and i
wouldn't like to make any mistakes, and you should
know that this oppurtunity can never come my way agin.
Do not worry, i have made all arrengment to see to the
successful conclusion of our business. After
successful transfer from here to your account, we will
now plan how to invest in your product. Do tell me
when get any massage from the bank.
I wait prompt response.
Yours,
Dr Murphey Motombo.
______________________
Dear Dr. Motombo:
Your refusal to answer my questions has become very annoying
and distressing to me. In fact, I am beginning to question your
motives in this whole matter. Why will you not answer why your
bank is on the 17th floor, which seems very strange to me?
I also have asked numerous times if you'd accept my generous
offer for a free set of BarfLogs, my leading product. Amazingly,
you have not responded!!
I additionally have asked you to name the products that would
stand the best chance of success if marketed in Africa. Again
my products include the Smelt Slusher, BarfLogs, Exac-Toe automatic
clipper, Presto-Itz-Gon spray paint, Agent Orange cleaning solution,
and "Where's the Spud" Poof Chips. Ideally I would like
to begin by marketing only three of the items in Africa. As an
African you are in the perfect position to tell me which three
I should select.
Your business proposition and my rapidly growing business both
are important to me. In fact, with the current rate of growth,
my products should reach $500 million in annual profits within
the next four years. By comparison, I would receive 35% of your
$126 million, which works out to only $44 million. Now can you
understand why my business is so very important to me?
Yesterday I received an e-mail proposal from Mrs. Martina Taniwa
Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo regarding the need
for a foreign partner to withdraw $119 million from her deceased
husband's business account. I am seriously thinking about parterning
with Mrs. Kabila instead of you unless you start being responsive
to my questions. It is my hope, however, that you can salvage
our business relationship by answering my questions. Good day
sir.
Brad Christensen

Dear Mr. Bello:
I am very interested in your proposed business transaction. Please
tell me more.
Also, I have a proposal for you. You see, I am a successful inventor
of consumer products that are advertised extensively on cable
television. My company is one of the fastest growing disseminators
of bull in the United States. Now I want to market my products
in Africa. However, I know very little about Africa and would
only be able to guess which of my products would be in demand
there. If I described my products to you, would you agree to tell
me which ones would sell the best in Africa? Last week I asked
another African, a Dr. Motombo, to help me, but he refused to
answer my questions.

Dear Mr. Bello:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your rapid response and
your agreement to assist me in marketing my products in Africa.
My proper name: Brad Popeil-Mays Christensen
Home Address: 236 Ronco Boulevard, Gila Bend, AZ 85123
Phone: (623) 878-2791
Fax: (602) 978-2414
Here are my products and a brief description of each. Should
you require more information about any product please ask:
-
Smelt Slusher, similar to the famous Bass-O-Matic, but much
more efficient in preparing smaller fish for consumption as
malteds at fast food restaurants.
-
Exac-Toe Clipper, clips fingernails, toenails and occasionally
unwanted skin. Looks and works like an automatic pencil sharpener,
but has a tungsten steel blade.
-
Agent Orange Cleaner, industrial-strength cleaning product
that dissolves anything and everything without the fuss.
-
Presto-Itz-Gon, disappearing spray paint that effectively
thwarts even the most energetic efforts of graffiti artists.
Named Product of the Year last year by Maricopa County Sheriff
Joe Arpaio.
-
Where's The Spud Poof Chips, zero-calory potato chips for
dieters. When chewed, each chip transforms into a small burst
of methane gas that ideally is expelled through the mouth.
-
BarfLogs, home-protection units that are burned in the fireplace
when one is away, producing an olfactory blanket of protection
no thief would dare invade. The BarfLog comes in one-week
and two-week sizes. Then we have BarfNuggets for overnight
or weekend trips. The BarfLog is my leading seller in the
United States.
But wait, there's more...
By combining two well-established products - the Pocket Fisherman
and the Garden Weasel - I have created my newest product, the
Pocket Weasel. It is a wonderful gadget that catches pickpockets
before they can run off. I have attached a photo.
I would like to start off by marketing three of my products in
Africa. Any feedback you can give on which products would be in
greatest demand will be greatly appreciated. Last year alone,
my business doubled in revenues to $22 million. Some Wall Street
analysts are projecting enormous profits in the years ahead. They
say my company will be the next Enron!
I am eager to finalize our transaction because the money I obtain
from it will go directly into the reseach and development of products
not yet imagined!
Awaiting your immediate response.
Brad Christensen

Dear Mr. Bello:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. I have tried faxing your form but
am unfamiliar with my machine's operation for international link-ups.
I would rather not consult my staff because I don't want them
to know anything about our upcoming business transaction. Would
it be possible for you to fax the form from there? I'd like to
get going on this as soon as possible, and travel is no problem
for me.
It absolutely made my week to hear there are buyers for my products
in Africa. The Smelt Slusher and BarfLogs are wonderful choices,
Mr. Bello, because they are quite effective and have good profit
margins. Tell me, what areas of Africa would these products be
in greatest demand? And what size of BarfLogs should we market
first? The full meter variety for two-week excursions or only
the half-meter model?
I am also wondering about the possible manufacture of kiln-dried
BarfLogs in Africa because they are quite expensive to ship from
the USA. First, however, I must be assured of an adequate supply
of raw materials. In that regard, I need an experienced workforce,
one familiar with bulimia and gastro-intestinal eruptions. Would
I find plenty of these seasoned workers in Africa?
Finally, you mentioned the Pocket Fisherman as your third choice.
But that's not mine. Did you mean the Pocket Weasel, which was
pictured in the attachment and was created using concepts from
both the Garden Weasel and the Pocket Fisherman? Thanks in advance
for your prompt responses to my questions.
Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,
Sorry for my late reply.I have been very busy
since yesterday trying to fix up things for this deal and as of
now i can assure you that we have gotten out of the starting block
and things seems to be walking right .For now i won't write much
because i've got not much time ,i only wanted to brief you .
Meanwhile,i want you to still try and send
that fax across to the security company because it is not right
for me to send it from here.Their fax number as i told you is
234 1 7593714.Just find out the international dailing out of the
USA and dial the following number.If you can't get through just
scan the letter and attach it through to their email,this i think
is very easy.Their email address is {citysecurities@consultant.com}
I want you to try and do it immediately.I am
going to write you a detailed mail in the evening today.
Regards.
Mohammed Bello.
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
I have filled out the form and e-mailed it to City Securities.
I copied you on the e-mail. I am looking forward to meeting you
and completing this transaction. However, I am a bit concerned
about your delay in answering some very important questions in
regards to marketing my products in Africa. You are my eyes and
ears in Africa and I greatly depend on your advice regarding my
business. Please respond to the questions that were in my previous
e-mail. I have reproduced them below...
Tell me, what areas of Africa would these products (Smelt Slusher
and BarfLogs) be in greatest demand? And what size of BarfLogs
should we market first? The full meter variety for two-week excursions
or only the half-meter model?
I am also wondering about the possible manufacture of kiln-dried

Dear Brad,
Thanks for your 2 fax which i recieved and all
the contents were well understood.
As for the informations that you require,please
do not blame me for not answering immediately because you know
that i have been busy trying to fix things up.Like i informed
you before,i will try my possible best to see that you penetrate
the african market concerning your products.Although i am not
a business man,i will use my influence and contact to get some
reliable market for you but you know that i cannot combine effectively
now these two things ,so like i sugessted we have to work fast
to get this deal achieve and we have time to go deeply into your
goods,but i will still be making contacts for the goods so that
as soon as we finalize we can go into it immediately.Hopefully
,i believe that within the upper week allthings being equal we
shall be able to finalize this deal,so i want you to bring out
yourself effectively so that we make sure we finalize it within
that time as to have chance to go into your products fully.
I do believe that the products will be in demand
in Nigeria,Ghana,Benin Republic,Mali ,Senegal and South Africa,but
first you have to start from Nigeria and gradually move to all
these other West African Countries. As for the Smelt Slusher and
BarfLogs ,my feeling is that you have to come along with the 2
sizes and the market will decide on which one they want.
As for setting up a manufacturing company in
africa especially Nigeria,i think it is feasible because our economy
needs most of those foreign companies and there will be an enabling
enveroment for you.We have to discuss this in details when we
meet.
I was refering to Pocket Weasel,the one that
you pictured.
Regards.
Mohammed Bello.
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your wonderful strategic
advice regarding my products. I am almost dancing with joy to
hear there is an enabling environment in Nigeria for the production
of BarfLogs. It can be so very difficult to find a workforce dedicated
to the rigorous daily demands of bulimia and gastro-intestinal
eruptions. I also am pleased to hear that both sizes of the BarfLog
may be in demand. Thanks also for your clarification on the Pocket
Weasel. Your e-mail has started my weekend on a very high note
indeed!
I am looking forward to finalizing our transaction and drawing
up our business plan for Africa. I am a tad confused by your referral
to faxes, however, since I sent you the document via e-mail. All
the best to you.
Brad Christensen

Dear Brad
Thanks for your secound mail of which confirms
that you have sent the message to the security company.Actually
i do not know why you were not able to get through to their fax
number.The fax number i gave to you is correct.Our country code
is 234 city code is 1 and the number is 7593714.Calling out from
the states you dial 011 234 1 7593714. Do try and give me a call.Dialing
from USA 011 234 1 7753012{MY PERSONAL TELEPHONE}. All the documents
concerning this matter has been provided to the security company
and based on the meeting the attorney had with them yesterday
and today ,i believe that they will lift this money out this week.I
gathered the the country that they will lift the funds to is SPAIN
,so you have to make adequate arrangement for your trip to SPAIN
as soon as the approval is given . As soon as the approval is
given maybe by Monday ,i will arrange some of these documents
and i will fax them or better still attach it through the email
to you for your views. As it is now the security company may be
contacting you any moment from now so please do let me anytime
you recieve any information from them.I am working very hard to
see that we succeed in this deal and from all indications and
based on what is on the ground now,i am 100% sure that we will
get there.I therefore urge you to put in your best to see that
we conclude this matter. Let me hear from you.Wishing you a nice
weekend.
Regards.
Mohammed Bello.
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
Full speed ahead! I will be ready to embark any time next week
on a trip to Spain. Should I bring a Smelt Slusher, Pocket Weasel
and a few BarfLogs as samples? Would you also like to see any
of the other products?
Brad Christensen
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
I received the document yesterday via e-mail attachment from
City Securities, however, I have asked them to redo it because
they need to spell out my entire legal name, which is Brad Popeil-Mays
Christensen. This is a legal document and I do not want to risk
having a technical mistake ruin our business transaction. Thus
far, City Securities has not responded. Can you please look into
this immediately. Thanks.

Dear Brad,
I just got your mail.I was not able to mail
you back yesterday because i was too weak and i had to close work
early to have a good rest.First thing tomorrow,i will have to
look into that matter you mentioned and have it corrected.It is
very good that you noticed the mistake.As it is now i believe
that the funds should be ready anytime from now as i recieved
a confirmation through a phone call this evening from Abuja that
the Approval has been given and it will be despatched to Lagos
by tomorrow,so you should get prepared to fly down to SPAIN to
conclude the transcation by next week.By tomorrow i should be
able to confirm the exact date that you are supposed to be there.
My Friend Brad,please i want you to do everything
possible as from now to see that we conclude this matter by that
next week,i have spend a lot of money to get this deal to this
stage and i wouldn't want you to disappoint me.We have a lot of
things to do togather.
I have started making contacts for your products
and as soon as you come back from Spain,then you shall plan to
come to Nigeria so as to look at the business enviroment as well
as meet the people that will be interested in your products.One
thing that i know is that i must do everything within my powers
to see that your products will gain acceptability here and gradually
in other west African Nations.As soon as you come back from SPAIN,i
will need you to send a letter of invitation for me so that i
will use it to apply for a visa in USA embassy here,because i
will like to have the visa handy so that after you come to Nigeria,i
will go back to USA with you so as to plan what to do with my
money.I do hope that you will help me so as to invest the money
wisely with your assistance and advice.
Let me hear from you.
Regards.
Your Friend
Mohammed Bello.
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. I'm glad you're feeling better. I
have asked City Securities to make the correction. Earlier today
I faxed them my passport information, but am uncertain if it went
through due to my unfamiliarity with the machine and with international
faxing. I always have had my staff take care of faxing for me,
but in this case it is important they know nothing about our transaction
and my business plans for Africa.
Will you be traveling to Madrid to meet me there? I certainly
hope so because we have many matters to discuss and plans to make.
Again, should I bring samples of my products with me? If so, which
ones would you like to test out? I rely tremendously on any advice
you can offer. You are my eyes, ears and nose in Africa.
Brad Christensen
______________________
At first, City Securities balked at the extra hassle
of changing the document, providing the following interesting
rationale:
"WE RECONGIZED THE MISTAKE THAT WAS MADE IN YOUR FULL NAME
IN THE DOCUMENT WE SENT TO YOU WHICH WAS NOT AS A RESULT OF
AN ERROR BUT WAS SIMPLY AN OVERSIGHT. HAVING TAKEN NOTE OF THAT,WE
ASSURE YOU THAT THE SAME DOCUMENT IS STILL VALID AND EVERY OTHER
NECESSARY CORRECTIONS WILL BE MADE HENCEFORTH.YOU ARE REST ASSURED
THAT NO SUCH SIMPLE TECHNICALITY WILL SPOIL YOUR TRANSCATION.WE
ARE COMMITTED TO SERVE YOU BETTER SO ACCEPT THAT DOCUMENT AS
AN AUTHENTIC DOCUMENT FROM US..."
Eventually Dr. Jacob saw the light and made the
change...

Dear Brad,
How are you today,Hope that you are fine.That
i have not contacted you for 2 days now was delibrate.Something
is happening and something is wrong somewhere so i decided to
watch out to find out what is happening.I think that somebody
is snitching on our deal.I do not know how that person broke into
my email adddress and making use of it unnecessaryly.Please do
not respond to any email that is not from me henceforth.Even the
messages from city securities,do not respond without my information.
Concerning our deal ,everything is still very
intact ,and the funds is on the way to SPAIN,SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE
FLIGHT ARRANGEMENT TO BE THERE BY NEXT WEEK.aNYWAY I AM GOING
TO GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS IN THE EVENING WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU.fOR
now do not send mails to me on any of my old mail address.I will
like you to give me a new email address of yours because i am
not comfortable sending mails anymore to this your mail address.From
now send mails to me on {larrydickson20@aol.com} This is a more
secured email and i opened it without my original name so that
nobody will find out.Please respond immediately so that i can
send you more details.
Regards.

______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
What in the world is going on??? I received an e-mail earlier
today from citysecurities@consultant.com with this message:
BRAD, ONLY RESPONSE TO THIS EMAIL! CSISECURITIES@CONSULTANT.COM
IS AN IMPOSTER! THEY ARE FALSE, ONLY THIS IS THE REAL CITY SECURITIES.
IGNORE ALL OTHERS AS THIS IS THE REAL ONE. CSI IS A FRAUD TRYING
TO TAKE OUR BUSINESS.
However, I am inclined to believe that message was sent by some
crackpot because on close examination, the word "impostor"
is misspelled. Also, only complete goobers write in ALL CAPITALS.
In my mind, these failings would render the accusation invalid,
wouldn't they? If so, let's get on with our business.
Where did you get the name "Larry Dickson?" I knew a
Larry Dickson in high school who farted all the time and never
bathed. Unfortunately he sat in front of me in algebra class.
Based on information gathered from class and from Larry, I developed
a farts-per-hour equation in which you could predict Larry's next
fart to the precise second and appropriately hold your breath.
I based a term paper on these findings and aced the class. Nevertheless,
I hope you are nothing like Larry.
Regarding Madrid, please tell me as soon as possible when I should
arrive and how long I should stay. I need time to buy my airline
ticket and pack. Again, should I bring samples of my products
with me? If so, which ones would you like to test out? I would
appreciate answers because you are my eyes, ears and nose in Africa.

Dear Brad,
I got your mail and thanks for that.I do hope
that we will finish this deal by next week so that these idiots
will get off my back.I think they are trying to get a peace of
the cake but thank God that the funds have left here,nobody can
get any informations about it anymore.
Like i informed you ealier the funds has left
and city securities were supposed to send you a message today
but i had to get them to stop the message because i do not want
it to be intercepted.I will get the messages from them first thing
tomorrow morning and i will send them to you either by fax because
i think it is more safer to send fax in this present situation.
All the informations concerning your trip to
SPAIN will be there.Most probably i believe that 2 days is enough
for you to finalize everything in Spain and if you have to book
your flight make the booking to arrive Spain by Tuesday.I will
give you all other information tomorrow as soon as i see the documents.
There is no need for you to take any sample
of your products along to Spain because we don't need it there.The
samples will be needed when you come to Nigeria which will be
as soon as you come from Spain.I have already talked to one company
whom i know will be very interested in your products and we have
scheduled a meeting between me and them for next week monday.
I will contact you tomorrow with all the informations.
Regards.
Mohammed.

______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received the three documents you
sent and I already have made my flight and hotel arrangements
for the trip to Madrid. My flight is United Airlines/Iberia Flight
6274 which departs from Phoenix at 10:55 a.m. on Monday, Feb.
10, and arrives in Madrid at 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11. I
have reserved a room at the Hotel Husa Princesa for the nights
of Feb. 11 and Feb. 12.
I have tried unsuccessfully at least 10 times to call Lisa Brown
of the Overseas Credit Commission in Madrid. My staff normally
dials for me, but I do not want to get them involved in this confidential
business opportunity. Since international calls obviously have
me quite baffled, can you provide Ms. Brown's e-mail address,
or better yet, have Ms. Brown call me?
When will you be arriving in Madrid, Mr. Bello? Perhaps you can
pick me up at the airport. By the way, I am extremely happy that
a company in Africa is very interested in my products. I also
am overjoyed to the point of obscene giddiness that you have scheduled
a meeting with them for Monday. Do you believe you have adequate
information about the Smelt Slusher, BarfLogs and the Pocket Weasel
to make a favorable impression? What is the name of the company?
What does the company normally produce or sell? How many years
has the company been in business? Do they have a bulimic workforce?
Please FedEx me their latest Annual Report ASAP.
Regarding the three documents you sent from City Securities,
I noticed that the third one - the final vetting approval from
the Minister of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - contains
a terrible error. The third line in the lower right box states
a "Regd date" of "29th Febuary 2003." First
of all, February is misspelled, but that's not the fatal flaw.
There are only 28 days in February, so the 29th of February does
not exist!!!! Since this legal document is not binding unless
it is accurate, immediately have City Securities repair their
shoddy work and send me a new copy. I certainly hope all workers
in Nigeria are not incompetent! I must depend on those I hire
for the BarfLog factory to vigorously produce a steady and abundant
flow of raw materials.
All the best,
Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,
I just got your mail and i thank you for that.I
really would like you to communicate with Oversea Credit Commission
in Spain To have them know when you are coming as well as to confirm
the appointment.I think it is very important.I have communicated
with city securities this morning to have them contact Lisa Brown
to contact you because i can,t contact her on my own since i am
not the beneficiary of the funds.I am going to check them back
by 3pm local time to find out if they got in contact with her
as well as their email address.
I will also like to call you on the phone later today,please do
provide me with your mobile phone ,incase you are not in the office.
I may not be able to meet you up in Spain because
my visa is not yet approved.The embassy told me that travelling
to Spain for the first time ,that it takes 3 weeks before the
visa is approved.I am going to send a close cousin of mine to
meet you up because he has a visa,how about it.
Concerning the company that i want to meet
on Monday,we are meeting for me to intimate them about the proposal
first,i have a faint idea of the products based on the explaination
you gave me in your previous letter.It is only if they signify
their interest that i will sort for more informations from you
as well as have them contact you,pending your arrival here.
For the errors documents,i never discovered
it but i do not think that it is a flaw,rather i think is a typographical
error,because we are not in end February,it is supposed to be
29th January.
Please reply as soon as you get this message
and let me have your mobile phone number.
Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Ms. Brown:
I am glad to finally touch base with you. I also am overjoyed
that everything appears to be in order. While I will be leaving
for the airport shortly, my phone number is (623) 878-2791. I
will be on United Airlines/Iberia Flight 6274, which departs Phoenix
at 10:55 a.m. this morning and arrives in Madrid at 7:45 a.m.
on Tuesday, February 11. Please see to it that somebody greets
me at the airport, if you can. I do not have much time to spare
in Madrid because I am scheduled to fly back to Phoenix on Thursday
morning. I was to stay at the Hotel Husa Princesa, but now I have
tentative reservations for the Hotel Ritz Madrid, because it is
a five-star hotel. I have had difficulty with the fax machine,
but obviously I will be bringing my passport with me. Anyway,
I have attached a recent photo of me so I will be easy to spot
at the airport. Also, I do not know how to convert U.S. dollars
to Euros, so to be on the safe side I am bringing $15,000 U.S.
dollars with me.
All the best, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Please keep me informed.

Mohammed Bello.
______________________
Dear Mr. Bello:
I have replied to Ms. Brown and everything appears to be in order.
I did get your first mail, but I was away from my office for the
weekend. I only have a few moments now because I have to drive
50 miles to the airport for my flight. Anyway, the Smelt Slusher
is a higher-speed, industrial strength version of the famous Bass-O-Matic.
It slices, dices and purees smelt into a fine and very aromatic
blend that is served as malteds at many fast-food restaurants
in the U.S. Some of the better restaurants even top it off with
whipped cream and an anchovy. Now, Starbucks is thinking about
adding it to their product line for the summer. BarfLogs are my
leading product. They are home-protection units that are burned
in the fireplace to create an olfactory shield that no thief would
dare penetrate. I have one-week and two-week sizes of the BarfLog,
plus ashtray-compatible BarfNuggets for overnight or short trips.
A free can of Glade is provided with each purchase of a BarfLog
so that any residual protection can be eliminated upon the traveler's
return. The Pocket Weasel is my newest product. In tests it has
very effectively clamped down on the hands of pickpockets, thwarting
their escape and causing them much anguish. I will be bringing
two of these with me to Spain.
Please tell me immediately how your meeting with the company
in Africa went. Again, what is the company's name? What did they
have to say about my products? Which should we market first and
where? Do they foresee any problems. Will they be able to provide
an expert bulimic workforce? These are important questions that
must be answered.
I will be bringing my laptop with me to Madrid and will eagerly
await your e-mail. Remember, Mr. Bello, I depend on you greatly
for information because you are my eyes, ears and nostrils in
Africa.

My dear Mr. Bello:
What in the world is going on??? I am in Madrid, at the Hotel
Husa Princesa waiting to be contacted. I was left at the airport
to fend for myself when nobody arrived to greet me. Finally, after
10 hours of waiting,I got a taxi to the Hotel Ritz Madrid, but
they had given my room to some swine who happened to show up and
flash his credit card before I arrived. Finally I arrived at the
Hotel Princesa, which at best is only a four star hotel!! I ask
you, Mr. Bello, are you dealing with clowns who cannot keep their
word?
And I also am extremely upset with you for your apparent refusal
to provide a report about your meeting with the company in Africa
that may be interested in my products. What products are they
most interested in? What obstacles, if any, do they envision?
What is the company's name? Do they have an experienced bulimic
workforce? What did they say about each of my products? Please
answer my questions and have somebody get in touch with me in
room 426 at the Hotel Princesa. My patience is growing wafer thin!

Dear Brad,
I just got your mail now.I am sorry for the
inconvinences.I am concerned as you are because throughout yesterday
i kept on wondering as to where you are.I was forced to call your
office in USA but told that you are not in,although i did not
drop my name.I do not want you to be upset about the whole thing.It's
just because i was not able to come there myself,otherwise i would
have waited for you in the airport so that this problem would
not arrive.But i think you have my phone number,you would have
called me from there,atleast somebody would have dailed it for
you if you do not know how to dial,since all the while that you
were waiting,why didn't you call the oversea credit commission
in Spain,you have their number as well.I contacted City security
this morning to find out from them what is going on and they confirmed
to me that Mrs Brown was in the hotel yesterday but they told
her that you have not there and she called several times and they
said you are not there.I will try and contact city security immediately
and have them contact Mrs Brown so that they will come and pick
you up but in the interim,try and call their phone lines.
Let me hear from you or you try and call me.Give
me also the hotel telephone number so that i can call you.
Regards.
Mohammed.

Dear Mr. Bello:
I am very upset and disheartened by this trip. I am at the Ramon
y Cajal Hospital in Madrid after an accident last night. As I
was in the hotel garage, approaching my rental car, something
horrible happened. I forgot to switch a cerain appliance to "off"
before I reached in my pants for my keys. The Pocket Weasel clamped
down full force, its razor-sharp jaws crushing my hand. I was
brought screaming to the hospital, where they used an iron cutter
and a sledgehammer to disengage the Weasel. I have several broken
bones and much nerve damage. Of course I blame all of this on
your people because if I had been picked up at the airport I would
never have rented a car.
Upon my release from the hospital I intend to go directly to
the airport and flee this dreadful and dangerous land!

ATTENTION: COMPANY'S CHAIRPERSON/CEO
REQUEST FOR BUSINESS AND COOPERATION
I am Engr. John Makilik, the Chairman, and Board
of Trustees of the Petroleum Resources Committee, PRC. Before
I lay bare the details of this proposal, I would like to intimate
you with the terms of reference of this committee. The PRC is
the presidium oil and gas committee of Nigeria charged with the
following responsibilities to, among other functions, monitor
the oil and gas revenue accruing to the federation account; direct
and supervise the processing of information, applications and
conducting project appraisals; and to provide estimates and projections
for budgets, work plans, scheduling methodology, bid documents
and to prioritize, distribute, according to specific guidelines
and award contracts for the development of oil and gas projects
to both indigenous an foreign multinational companies that are
registered to carry out business in the Nigeria Oil & Gas
sector and recommends for payment to the Federal Ministry of Finance
(FMF) or its authority upon completion of con
tract projects. The PRC depends on government
subventions and budgetary allocations for its operations and usually
send quarterly performance report of the oil & gas industry
to the FMF and the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR. Following
the breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the
end of last fiscal quarter of,2002, the total project contracts
awarded to foreign companies amounted to the sum of 736million
US dollars. The PRC, in conjunction with the Debt Reconciliation
Committee (DRC), has been conducting a verification exercise in
batches to pay off foreign contractors who have been owned various
sums of money for contract projects executed in 2001/2002. The
crux of this letter is that the Petroleum Resources Committee
(PRC) masterminded the inflation of some, these contracts awarded
last year. Consequently, in the course of disbursements, this
department has been able to accumulate the sum of 38.6million
US dollars being the over-invoiced sum of the
contract worth awarded. This money is currently
in a suspense account of the FMF account with the Debt Reconciliation
Committee (DRC) and has already been approved for payment in the
supplementary budget allocation by the Federal Ministry of Finance
(FMF) and waiting to be immediately wired out of the country.
Hence, my duty as the Coordinator of this project is to solicit
your unalloyed co-operation and assistance to enable us pull out
this funds into any foreign account owned by your good-self and
covered by a foreign company's name to be used. Your co-operation
in this business is essential, because members of the committee
involved in this business are personalities who have attained
impeccable track records of probity in the Civil Service of Nigeria
and as such are not permitted to operate Foreign Account in discharging
their functions as members of the Petroleum Resources Committee
(PRC). NOTE: This business is 100% full proof, genuine and risk-free.
Hence the need for S
trict and Absolute Confidentiality till the
end is All Important. Furthermore, sharing of this fund after
remittance into your provided bank account will be done as follows:
70% for us here in Nigeria, 25% for you the account owner and
5% to cover as reimbursement, any expenses which may be incurred
in the course of, transferring the funds into your account. Confirming
your faithfulness to this entreaty and your unalloyed cooperation
to consolidate this transaction as proposed to you, please endeavor
to reply immediately with your signature or contact/postal address;
telephone and fax lines for further briefing. We estimate that
this project will last for 14 days only given your fullest co-operation.
All inquiries should be directed to the undersigned and I await
your reply immediately. I thank you for your attention and anticipated
co-operation. In Good Health and Kind Regards.
Yours truly,

Dear Mr. Makilik:
I am very interested in your proposed business transaction. Please
tell me more.
Also, I have a proposal for you. You see, I am a successful inventor
of consumer products that are advertised extensively on cable
television. My company is one of the fastest growing businesses
in the United States. Now I want to market my products in Africa.
However, I know very little about Africa and would only be able
to guess which of my products would be in demand there. If I described
my products to you, would you agree to tell me which ones would
sell the best in Africa? Last week I asked another African, a
Dr. Motombo, to help me, but he failed to answer my questions.

Dear Mr. Makilik:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your rapid response and
your agreement to assist me in marketing my products in Africa.
My proper name: Brad Christensen
Home Address: 236 Ronco Boulevard, Gila Bend, AZ 85123
Phone: (623) 878-2791

My banking account: UR2-DUM-8941867211
Bank: Ron Popeil Memorial Bank
Bank address: 4227 W. Billy Mays Way, Enid, OK, USA 32288
Here are my products and a brief description of each. Should you
require more information about any product please ask:
- Smelt Slusher, similar to the famous Bass-O-Matic, but much
more efficient in preparing smaller fish for consumption as malteds
at fast food restaurants.
- Exac-Toe Clipper, clips fingernails, toenails and occasionally
unwanted skin. Looks and works like an automatic pencil sharpener,
but has a tungsten steel blade.
- Agent Orange Cleaner, industrial-strength cleaning product
that dissolves anything and everything without the fuss.
- Presto-Itz-Gon, disappearing spray paint that effectively thwarts
even the most energetic efforts of graffiti artists. Named Product
of the Year last year by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
- Where's The Spud Poof Chips, zero-calory potato chips for dieters.
When chewed, each chip transforms into a small burst of methane
gas that ideally is expelled through the mouth.
- BarfLogs, home-protection units that are burned in the fireplace
when one is away, producing an olfactory blanket of protection
no thief would dare invade. The BarfLog comes in one-week and
two-week sizes. Then we have BarfNuggets for overnight or weekend
trips. The BarfLog is my leading seller in the United States.
But wait, there's more...
By combining two well-established products - the Pocket Fisherman
and the Garden Weasel - I have created my newest product, the
Pocket Weasel. It is a wonderful gadget that catches pickpockets
before they can run off.
I would like to start off by marketing three of my products in
Africa. Any feedback you can give on which products would be in
greatest demand will be greatly appreciated. Last year alone,
my business doubled in revenues to $22 million. Some Wall Street
analysts are projecting enormous profits in the years ahead. They
say my company will be the next Enron!
I am eager to finalize our transaction because the money I obtain
from it will go directly into the reseach and development of products
not yet imagined!
Awaiting your immediate response.

Mr. Brad,
Sequel to the telephone conversation we had
some while ago, please acknowledge receipt of this mail below.
This is the mail I sent you in the past and I am resending it
to you with the view to restarting this transaction using your
name like you have proposed. You have to establish a company name
that we are going to use to register and apply for the release
of the funds. Though this will cost me more money to re-register
your new firm for I have spent through my nose to have gotten
your firm registered in the past as an ordinary civil servant
that I am. What can I do? I want to make this happen for us all
with yoiur cooperationa and assistance. This transaction means
everything me. As for your products, I still maintain that they
are "Revolutionary" and there is a huge market for them
down here in Africa. People will jump at your products immediately
without thinking twice. I think this will be better discussed
when you call me back. My advise is that your products will SELL
big time in Africa but we have to conclude this transaction first.
....
Dear Brad:
To get your company registered, please follow
the procedure below:
You will find enclosed a copy of the specimen
application that is titled Text 'A'. Carefully type the information
on your company letterhead paper and After you have made out the
letter you will return them to me by Fax or by e-mail attachment
using .doc extension or any other relevant extension.
Upon which I will then make application to the
Board of Trustees of the Petroleum Resources Committee. When we
receive this information from you, your company will be dully
registered with the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, (NNPC)
under category æCÆ contractors and copies of the paper
work will be faxed to you for careful assessment to show source
of funds. This will be so because the LNG/NNPC is the government
parastatal that the contract was executed for.
Hoping to hear from you soon.
Yours truly,
John Makilik (MNIQS)

Dear Brad,
Good day my friend. I have resent you the mail
on what to do so as to get the funds wired outside Nigeria into
your account in the USA. In light with this, I am sending you
a picture of my self and my wife. The picture was taken last week
sunday in church at a thanksgiving service mass.
I want youto know that I am real and so is this
transaction. I have scanned the picture for you to know who john
is and also, my permanent residential address is:
14, Giwa Saka Street,
off Randle Ave, Orile Oshodi,
Lagos State.
Nigeria.
There is certainly a great & bright future
ahead of us. We have not been brought together by coincidence
but by destiny. We have to get this transaction on the way ASAP
with your new company name that you will establish.
I will be waiting for your call as soon as you
finish going through my mails.
Humbly waiting for your call.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and
assistance.
Best regards,
John Makilik

Dear Mr. Makilik:
Thanks for the photo of you and your Chi-Chi. What a charming
pair you make. Is it one of your customs to wear sunglasses in
church? Here in the U.S. we wear them outside church. I am thinking
your way is better. I fall asleep all the time in church, but
with sunglasses nobody will know. I have attached a recent photo
of me. I will continue to try to call you, but so far today I
have not derived the correct combination for an international
call. Please bear with me, for I shall attempt to dial all possible
prefixes.
Brad Christensen

Dear John:
I have tried dialing your number for more than 10 hours straight,
but to no avail. Because of my unfamiliarity with placing international
calls I have attempted all sorts of prefixes, suffixes and prepositions
- more than 10,000 to be exact! My fingers are blistered and aching
and my participles are dangling. I cannot understand your insane
insistence on me calling you when you are the one who has mastered
the inner workings of the global dialing system! Give me some
time to soak my fingers and participles, then please call me.
All the best,
Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,
Good day to you. How is everybody doing in the
family? I sincerely hope that all is hale and hearty. I am very
happy to have spoken with you and also to have received the application
letter from you. I will swing into action on Monday with this
transaction. I am happy to know that you believed me that your
products are revolutionary. But indeed and in truth, they are.
Just keep your fingers crossed and wait for
when the time comes for you to see the tremendous sales your products
WILL make in the African market. It is just unfortunate that there
is political instability in Nigeria presently due to the forth
coming elections here. Just in case you don't know, we just just
started practicing civil rule lately and Nigeria is still currently
practicing its nascent democracy and I think it is understandable
that things will be like this for some time due to the over 30
years of military dictatorship that we've had. Once the elections
are over, normalcy will definitely resume.
My wife, ChiChi was wearing sunglasses because
she had an inflamation on her left eye as at then but it is gone
now. There is sincerely no rule/law preventing us from wearing
sunglasses to church. Maybe it's because we are a third world
nation. I don't know! You actually made me notice that!!
I'm sorry to learn that you have blisters on
your fingers already. All I think you need to do is dial 001-234-1-7764954
and you should get through one time. "001" is the USA's
international dialling access code.
I want you to call me on Monday, 24/2/2003 for
updates.
I humbly look forward to hearing from you on
monday next week
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Best regards
John Makilik
Tel: 234-1-764954
Fax: 234-1-7594304
______________________
Dear John:
The blisters are gone today, but I still haven't been able to
get through. Something must be dreadfully wrong with the long-distance
flux capacitor in the phone line transmission system. Two weeks
ago, you couldn't make local person-to-person calls, as only person-to-amphibian
dialing was possible. You'd think the phone company would get
its act together. Never, however, is there ever a snafu in their
billing system!
Will travel be required of me as we finalize this transaction?
If so, I'd like to come to Africa so I can work on establishing
my business there. Do you have an African Stock Exchange where
Brad Christensen Inventions can be listed? If not, I suppose the
Yellow Pages will do. Also, I am very interested in launching
an aggressive television and radio advertising campaign in Africa.
However, I need somebody to brag loudly and shamelessly about
my products in the ads. Since I cannot speak any African dialects,
will you agree to be my advertising pitchman, Mr. Makilik?
Brad Christensen
______________________
Dear John:
Why haven't you responded to my last e-mail and why haven't I
heard from you in the past week? You said you would "swing
into action" with the transaction on Monday, but now it's
Saturday and you haven't updated me. Also, there is something
wrong with your phone system because I haven't been able to get
through. I remember you mentioned something about political instability
in Nigeria. I hope you are alright and have not been beheaded
or anything. Please respond to this e-mail and please let me know
if you will agree to be my pitchman for the aggressive radio and
television advertising campaign I am planning. Also, please let
me know if such a campaign is feasible.

Dear Mr. Brad,
Good afternoon my friend. How has your week
been? I hope it has been rewarding. How is the family doing? I
hope all is well.
I must say I am sorry for not communicating
with you before now. I have been un impromptu official assignment
and simultaneously, I have been monitoring the registration processes
of your firm. I was ONLY waiting to give you the big news. The
registration of your firm has been successfully concluded on Friday
officially like I gathered from my agents!!
I am waiting to get copies of the registration
papers of your firm so that I can fax them to you for your perusal.
I should get the documents by Monday and as soon as I get them,
I will fax them to you immediately.
There is NOTHING wrong with my phone. It is
working just perfectly. Like I have told you in the past, dial
011-234-1-7764954 and you will be speaking with me. Do this on
Monday when you get the documents I going to fax to you.
As regards the grand exposure for your products,
I will be your pitchman. I will put you through and stand by you
all the way but the time is not now because of the present political
instability in Nigeria. Even the British government has warned
its citizens not to come to Nigeria UNTIL after the up coming
elections in Nigeria. There is already fighting in some parts
of the country as all the parties are madly gearing up for the
elections, Hence, this is why you have to wait until after the
elections.
Our marketing plans for your products MUST be
put on hold UNTIL after the elections. Whatever plans you have
to market your products, I want you to be rest assured that "IT
IS ALL POSSIBLE". But sincerely, it has to wait until after
the elections here if you and I want it to succeed. I want you
to know that you are going to make a great success with your revolutionary
products here in Africa with big time TV & Radio commercials
but all has to wait until after the elections. I am safe and sound
and remember that you are the custodian of our funds. So I have
to protect you well just like I would to myself.
I humbly look forward to your call on Monday
3rd March 2003.
Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.
Best regards,

Dear Brad,
My dear friend, how is your day and how is the
family? I am very sure that everything is fine. I am very happy
that the registration of your new company, Brad Christensen Inventions
Ltd has been successfully concluded and it has come to a very
successfull and resounding success. Right now, your company, Brad
Christensen Inventions Ltd is a full fledged contractor with the
NNPC accorded all the respect and recognition of a contractor
with the NNPC. Your company now have its various files in its
name, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd lodged with the NNPC, the
LNG, and several other government parastatals/establishments that
are in one way or the other connected with the payment of the
US$38.6m into your nominated bank account. There is a lot of paper
work that goes with the registration processes and right now,
a whole lot of these papers and documents are in your various
files with the various government bodies. All these is necessary
so that the processing of the payment in favour of your company
will be done very quickly and without any hitches. The documents
in your files just like any other contractor will be employed
in processing of your payment into your nominated bank account.
The registration was actually concluded last
week Friday officially and I recieved copies of the registration
papers just like I told you and I want you to be on the alert
now because at present, your files would have commenced its journey
from tables to tables, from office to office, from one government
body to another in its sourjourn to the doors of the DRC, i.e.
the Debt Reconciliation Committee.
Your files will move in the course of its processing
from the PRC, NNPC to several other offices and then finally to
the desks of the DRC. At the office of the DRC, the payment will
be approved and imediately after this, the DRC will establish
contact with you for wire confirmation. This is the normal process
and I want to implore you to be on the alert at all times. You
have to ensure that your telephone and fax lines are working perfectly
well and will remain so until after the funds have been wired
into your account. This is because the DRC will definitely establish
contact with you anytime from now and they will do so either by
telephone or by fax or by both means. We (Brad Christensen Inventions
Ltd) have satisfied all the requirements of the Federal Goverment
of Nigeria and your company is fully and well established here
in Nigeria as operational and demanded by the constitution of
the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Your share of the funds I am
sure will be of immense help to you in extending your research
work to producing more revolutionary products. I have been talking
to some people already about your products and from the questionare
I have passed around, it is obvious just like I had expected that
your BarfLogs and the Pocket Weasel that catches pick pockets
before they can run will be highest selling. The Agent Orange
Cleaner is another of your product that I think will make the
rounds here in Africa. I believe with time other products will
claim their positions. But to sell all these products, we will
have to register your company again with the necessary authorities,
with the Corporate Affairs Commission, the Nigerian Agency for
Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the sales license
office before you can be allowed to operate and sell your products
here in Nigeria. The big advantage here is that once you are registered
here in Nigeria, The pioneer & giant of Africa, we will start
with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) trade
countries and afvance further from there. With Nigerian papers,
you will trade freely in those countries about 15 of them.
I am appealing to you to offer me your full
cooperation at all times, follow my instructions and advise religeously
and adhere strictly to the instructions I give you at any point
in time.
I am an ordinary civil servant and I have a
lot of responsibilities on me regardless of the fact that I am
grossly underpaid. I want to better my life, and my future with
my share of the funds we want to transfer.
I am ONLY going to become rich after the funds
have been wired into your account. Then I will have rest of mind.
The financial situation here is almost as dead and is nothing
to be happy about nor hope on. The extended family system is another
problem that I am facing and because the situation is fast getting
out of hand and becoming rather dangerous and threathning to my
future, I decided to embarked on this laudable and flawless transaction.
Life is VERY HARD down here and it is the same with me because
I am in this country and equally affected by the ills of our ever
dwindling economy. Right now, I am living from hand to mouth and
I only EXIST by the grace of the almighty God.
Please assure me that our money is safe in your
hands and that we are with the right people. Reassure me that
I am not making a mistake doing business with you. I don't want
to be cheated and not with the hard earned resources
I have spent on this transcation to have come this far. Although
I have a high office and I am well respected here, my financial
status is nothing to be happy about nor proud of and I am sure
that it is almost the same for most civil servants the world over
and I have said I want a better life after retirement, hence,
my reasons for embarking on this transaction.
In fact, I have plans to give some money from
my share of the funds to charity. I have plans to donate to charity
and I will donate to charity from my share of th e funds. This
I belive is necessary to salvage the lot of people who are impoverished
in my country, Nigeria and who find it hard to get what is supposed
to be basic necessecities of life which continuosly elude them.
I have great plans to help some of these people I can reach and
touch in my own

Dear John:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received your two faxes - the Certificate
of Incorporation for Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd. with the
Corporate Affairs Commisson of the Federal Republic of Nigeria
and the Certificate of Registration with the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation. Unfortunately both have been misdated -
March 10, 1996 for the Commission document and August 19, 1998
for the NNPC registration. These are glaring errors that would
immediately render both documents invalid and as useless as Martha
Stewart stock. Can you please have the two entities correct their
errors and then fax me new documents?
I am incredibly pleased by your enthusiasm for my products, but
you have not yet agreed to be my radio and TV advertising pitchman.
You will be paid handsomely and receive much attention and notoriety
across all of Africa as you demonstrate my BarfLogs, Smelt Slusher,
Agent Orange, Pocket Weasel, and Exac-Toe Clipper on camera. I
might mention, at this juncture, that our benefits package does
not include medical coverage. My planned saturation TV coverage
will make you a big star in your homeland. You will be in constant
demand for autographs from daytime TV viewers in search of a life.
What do you say, John? If you agree, we will need an advertising
slogan. Do you have any ideas for a good one?
Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,
Good morning my friend. I am pleased to learn
that you got my faxes. I want to point out here that the registration
dates are NOT errors. The registration of your firm has been backdated
to cover the period before and after the contract for the US$38.6m
was executed. That puts your company on a very strong foundation
and also shows that your company is well rooted in the Nigerian
economy and that you have long maintained your existense here
in Nigeria as a friend of the Nigerian Economy. Thus I want you
to fully understand that those dates are not in error and that
is what we need to have your firm on a sound footing and well
rested on livingstone. Those Certificates with you are very VALID
and I want you to keep it very confidential and safely too. Now
that your firm, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd has been fully
registered with the NNPC, I want you to be on the alert because
the DRC will soon establish contact with you for wire confirmation
of our funds, US$38.6m. Make sure that all your lines of communication
are thrown open for easy and effective communication with the
DRC.
For your sake, I will be your pitchman. I hereby
agree to be your pitchman to sell your products here in Africa.
I want you to call me immediately you get this mail so that we
can discuss better on this and we work out our agreement for the
sale of your products.
I will be waiting for your call ASAP.
Thank you for your good gesture and anticipated
cooperation.
Best regards,
John Makilik

Dear John:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for the assurance that the wrong
dates were intentional in order to make Brad Christensen Inventions,
Ltd. to appear to be a well-established company in Nigeria with
years of success behind it. However, won't my company now be required
by the authorities to pay years of back taxes on profits we never
made? Won't we also be asked to pay for electricity, gas, phones
and water we never used? The back-dating seems to give your government
and utility companies a lever to extract a great deal of money
from me. And what about all those years of unpaid Chamber of Commerce
dues? That alone could be a back-breaker. What can we do to ensure
the back-dating doesn't cause enormous problems for us?
I say "us" because you have accepted my offer to serve
as my advertising pitchman and have shown great enthusiasm for
my products. I also intend to appoint you as a Vice President
of "our" company when it begins operations in Africa.
In that capacity, you will head up our marketing effort and serve
on our Board of Directors. As a first assignment, please come
up with an effective advertising slogan for my products. The first
radio and TV ads will feature the BarfLogs, so you might tailor
your slogan to fit this product. Thanks in advance for your help
with the slogan.
Regarding the DRC, I still have not heard from them.
All the best,
Brad Christensen

Hello Brad,
Good day to you my friend. I am sorry for the
late response to your mail. I was away on an official engagement.
I am writing to know if you have heard from the DRC.
Please update me ASAP.
I think it is wise that you come to Nigeria
and see things for your self as per the resounding success your
products will make. I advise you to go and apply for visa to come
to Nigeria but Please note that you HAVE to apply as a tourist.
This is way there will be no preying eyes on you because you are
the custodian of our US$38.6m and youhave to be well protected.
As per the government/taxes/charges/ e.t.c, we have all that taken
care off. I will brief you when I call you.
You should get samples of your products ready
too. Please always remember that when coming, you have to apply
as tourist.
best regards,
John Makilik

Dear John:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received a "Final Funds Release
Order" from the DRC yesterday. It says I must come forward
within 7 working days to sign for the funds and pay $13,250 to
the Federal Board of Inland Revenue Service. Excluding Saturday
and Sunday, that gives me until Wednesday, March 19, to apply
for the tourist visa and travel to Nigeria. I will obtain the
visa and make my flight arrangements immediately.
Frankly, though, I am beginning to question your sincerity and
dedication as the newly appointed Vice President of Brad Christensen
Inventions, Ltd. Mr. Makilik, I have asked you twice to develop
an advertising slogan for my products and still you have not come
up with anything. It is impossible for me to develop an effective
slogan for Africa. That is because I do not yet understand the
fears, insecurities and emotional frailties of your people --
the stuff that all good ad campaigns must prod, stoke, and intensify
to move unnecessary products off the shelves.
Mr. Makilik, I ask you in your newly appointed role as Vice President
for Marketing in Africa to immediately develop an advertising
slogan, plus a storyline and rough-draft script for our first
television ad. The ad should focus on BarfLogs, but it also can
introduce the Pocket Weasel, Agent Orange, Smelt Slusher, Where's
The Spud vanishing potato chips and other products. All the best,
Brad Christensen

Dear John:
I have obtained the tourist's visa and have scheduled the flight
for tonight. It is American Airlines/Air France flight 55/852
arriving in Lagos, Nigeria at 5:20 p.m. in Saturday, March 15.
I will be departing from Nigeria on Thursday, March 20. This will
give us plenty of time to conduct our affairs. Please ensure that
hotel reservations are made.
I remain very concerned that you have not e-mailed me regarding
your assignment to come up with an effective advertising slogan
for our products. Saying a few words over the phone doesn't work
for me because of the bad connections. I need something written,
not spoken. In fact, it appears that you have lost interest in
my business startup in Africa. This concerns me greatly and has
me questioning my decision to fly there. Please respond via e-mail
with a slogan and storyline for our first commercial today. All
the best,
Brad Christensen

Mr. Brad,
I am very sorry that I have not responded to
your
mails before now. The internet connection has been
distrupted and I have not been able to access my mail.
I am still currently trying hard against all
odds to
cancel an impromptu official engagement in Warri,
> Delta State at the Oil refinery facility there because
of some contractors doing shordy & unsatisfactory jobs
there. In the process, I have also been shortlisting
media houses that we are going to start with. I have
also been making arrangements with News papers that we
will be working with too. We will be doing online
advertising too with some of the news dailies in
Nigeria for online sales.
I must tell you that it is expensive to get
TV
commercial slots & radio jingles and I want you to be
well prepared for that.
I am sorry that I will not be able to disclose
much
for now but I want you to be rest assured that your
products will make a resounding sales here in Nigeria
to strat with. I am also very concerned that I am not
a professional in the advertisment sector, thus, I am
talking to some professionals who should be the best
to do the job.
I have a slogan which goes:
Here comes the revolutionary products making
a debut
appearance in Africa starting with the Giant of
Africa, Nigeria.
"E wa wo", "bi a nu le",
"make una come see oo" (some
local dialets which means, come and see for
yourselves, come and see this wonderful products. We
all need it).
We can make a very good improvement on this
and if
possible refine the slogans well to achieve resounding
market impact for your products.
You have to sincerely understand that I am a
civil
servant. I DO NOT want your products' sales to flop. I
want wonderful sales for your products like you well
know. If you agree with me, we need professionals who
majors is advertisment and we will give them a
guideline of what we want and we will supervise the
job to ensure a resounding success for the
"Revolutionary Products". We will start with the
barflogs, pocket wisels and the other products will
also be introduced simultaneously.
I will be sending my son, Steve to assist you
and take
you to our Guest house when your flight touch down and
expect a hospitable reception. He is nice and he knows
much about this transaction because he is my best
amongst my children though he is 27.
I want to wish you a wonderful flight here.
I'll send my people to pick you up at the airport
then
we will meet later.
Best regards,
John Makilik

Dear Mr. Brad,
Where are you now? I was at the airport pick
you up but you were not on the American Airlines/Air France flight
55/852 which touched down at about 5:30p.m today. I was there
waiting for you and you were not on the flight. I even checked
the manifest but your name, Brad Christensen was not on the manifest.
What happened? Did you miss your flight? I have
accomodation reserved and all logistics worked out all for you
and you were not on the flight. What could have happened?
Mail me or call me immediately you get this
mail to let know what went wrong. I am very concerned thus, get
back to me immediately.
Very concerened and worried,
John Makilik

Dear John:
Hi, Brad Christensen here. Sorry about my inability to contact
you earlier, but I have been in the hospital the last two days
undergoing a battery of emergency tests. Upon hearing a report
of a new and deadly illness, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS), I cancelled my flight and rushed myself to the hospital
on Friday. After an EKG, CAT Scan, blood tests, colonoscopy, Magnetic
Resonance Imaging and a PAP smear, it was determined that I merely
had a severe case of the sniffles.
Now, for two reasons, we must indefinitely delay our meeting.
First, the World Health Organization yesterday issued a Worldwide
Travel Advisory. (Go to http://www.who.int/csr/don/2003_03_15/en/
) Secondly, and more importantly, I have redirected all efforts
of Brad Christensen Inventions, Ltd. toward developing a cure
for SARS. So for now, all our operations, research and otherwise,
are being devoted to what we have dubbed "Project Phlegm."
Once we develop a cure, I will contact you and we can get our
African marketing plans back on track. In the meantime, please
do not disrupt my concentration by contacting me. This is a critical
time in which the health of the world is dependent upon my full
and undivided attention to Project Phlegm. Please understand that
I sincerely appreciate all your efforts up to this point. Just
be patient and realize that Africa must endure a few more months
without BarfLogs, the Pocket Weasel and my other products.
To our global health,
Brad Christensen
Project Phlegm
