Eleventy one pages of pure Footle porn. He's demanding £60m in loose change.
I love this bit;
If you then elect to not resolve this default notice then we will take further legal action by raising a surety on the debt by way of a security by way of a lien against the estate of ASELLE DJUMABAEVA-WOOD and the future earnings of yourself and by way of the sins of the farther your decedents to the seventh generation were there may be an attachment of earnings and the pension of your grand children’s grand children.
That's a bit harsh! Who's yer 'farther'. And nonsense of course - as any fool would know, our victim is female, it should be the sins of the 'morther'. A mere detail I'm sure.
But if you read on you come to this somewhat contradictory bit;
The Baron wrote
It is not our intent to place you ASELLE DJUMABAEVA-WOOD in a state of distress or cause any distress loss or harm by this legal action.
Oh, a change of heart? A softening of his usual iron resolve?
Far from it.
The Baron continued
Let us face the facts. See Exhibit (F) in the affidavit. There is no such thing as Money. The Bank of England note is based upon confidence and Belief where belief is a concept in the abstract which is of no material substance.
So if there is no such thing as money and it is of no material substance why pursue the unfortunate Ms. Wood for all that worthless abstract concept?
Anyway, where will he keep all this dosh, if it ever materialises? Why, his current account of course.
I have had an extensive conversation with my Bank Manager. This conversation was very fruitful. It was agreed and is true to note that a lien is an asset, and is a security and also a commercial instrument. My enquiry was to distinguish if I needed a special portfolio account for the deposit of these commercial instruments. The response was that I could deposit these commercial instruments in any account such as a current.
I foresee someone in West Africa receiving an unwelcome email in the near future;
Greetings!
I am Chief Baron Ward of the House of Ward.
I have need of your bank account in order to transact with extreme discretion.
I need to move £60,000,000 (sixty million British Pounds) from my account to yours just for a short while.
You will be well rewarded for your kindly assistance in this modality.
Please send me your details, specimen signature and a small interim payment of £500 so I can bribe smooth over bank officials into releasing these funds.
Soon God willing we will both be rich my friend.
Assuring you with integrity of my eternal trustworthiness.
Perhaps I'm being unkind but when I hear someone chasing multi-millions (in any currency) three numbers spring into my head - 4 1 9.
Anyway, a toast to The Baron. A "Lien, Mean Litigatin' machine"
Top entertainment after a shit week.
