Dear mr Brad,
Thank you very much for your mail and the content
therein. well, I want to let you know that I am not begging you
for this project rather I am only helping you since you are getting
your own fair share for receiving this money on my behalf. you
should also know that I am not claiming to be MRS ABACHA, it will
interest me to receive you here in nigeria before you receive
the consignment, alot of people have benefited in my name through
fraudulent means, alot have written series of mails to people
abroad telling them they are MRS MARIAM ABACHA thereby extorting
money from them, if you are serious and know what you are saying,
you should write to FREEMAN INSTITUTE to ask them about me, my
attorney compiled the series of mails some people receive which
they sent to me, the mails have been sent to the institute and
they have created a sight for the mails. I want to let you know
that I do not have the I.D cards you have requested from me, what
I can send to you is my picture but I can not send to you my mothers
maide name, what for , what business do you have with my mother?
that question is very insulting.
So mr Brad, if you are really interested in
this business lets go on, you are requesting all these information
from me how about you that is going to receive the money for me,
do I know you before, do I know where you come from, I do not
know anything about you and you have started giving me bad impression
about your self, it is very un-business like. I will implore you
to send to me your photograph and any other thing that will prove
what you said you are.
you should know that the fund is in the U.S
and we would have given you the clue on how you will go and get
it but this development has put us in a very difficult situation
to release any information to you.
Best Regards.
MRS MARIAM ABACHA.
______________________
My Dear Mrs. Abacha, if that is indeed who you are:
Attached find a photo of me (Attached photo). It was taken about
20 years ago, but I remain extremely vibrant and handsome today,
despite my use of a cane on good days and a walker on bad days.
Please reciprocate by sending photos of yourself and of your barrister.
I meant no offense by requesting the maiden name of your mother,
and in fact I must require that information before we proceed.
In the spirit of full disclosure, the maiden name of my mother,
rest her soul, was "Humphrey." The dental records and
other information can wait, but you must provide your mother's
maiden name immediately. I did not become extremely wealthy by
being careless. I'm sure you'll understand.
Finally, can you explain why you spelled your first name "Mariam"
this time, but "Maryam" in your previous e-mail? Are
you trying to confuse an old man like me?

Dear Brad,
I received your mail.
Well, I am unable to open the attachment for
your picture, you could send it to me again and make it easy for
me to open, if I receive it, I shall send to you mine and any
other information you need except the I.D. cards you talked about,
bear in mind that I cannot send you any card in form of identification
because I have none.
Regarding about Mariam and Maryam, you should
know that here in Nigeria, you can spell your name the way you
chose, so Mariam and Maryam have the same meaning moreover most
of my mails are being sent by my personal secretary who is a Christian.
So, the idea could come from her.
MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.
______________________
Dear Mariam or Maryam, assuming those are your true identities:
I am resending my photo. It is a Microsoft JPG file, extremely
common for photos. Please let me know immediately if you are unable
to view the handsome fellow who is attached, but remember the
photo was taken approximately 20 years ago. If not I will send
more photos, including an interesting shot of my cousin Mort interacting
with his pet ferrets. I inquire once again about your mother's
maiden name.

Dear Brad,
Asalam Aleikum! May God be with you!
I got your mail and an attached beautiful photograph
which you took 20 yrs ago as claimed by you. I am glad
to have associated myself with you in this transaction
but I am having fears you never trusted in me based on
the questions you have been asking me.
There is no other Mariam Abacha in Nigeria except
me,
though we have other Mariams but not of Abacha in any
place except me.
I am in a tight schedule and why I should not
give you
my mother's maiden name is for security reasons. All
you need to know about me, I will humbly tell you, but
know it that I am from Lebanon, before I got married
to my husband Late Sanni Abacha who was the Head of
State of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria.
I have sent for my secretary to scan my picture
and
attach same to you, because I do not know much about
scanning and attachment.
I hope we can continue on our business, but please if
you are not ready to do this business, it's better you
humbly tell me so that I look for another interested
businessman who will receive the fund. The money is my
last hope since they have frozen my late husband's 3
local account yielding millions of dollars.
I also want to invest in your country (USA)
immediately the money arrives your account, so please
guide me as I have taken you as my saviour this time,
unless otherwise, you are not interested to help me.
I want to hear from you the final decision you
have
made in dealing with me so that I instruct the
security company where the money is lodged to commence
processing of the transfer to you.
However, I shall quickly instruct you how you
are
going to receive it.
I hope to hear from you sir.
MRS MARIAM ABACHA.
______________________
My Dear Mariam:
Thank you so much for saying my photo was "beautiful."
Some say I am old and withered, but happily you realize that true
beauty is within a person, as long as you ignore their gastro-intestinal
tract. I eagerly await your photo. You ask about investments in
the USA. There are several outstanding opportunities available,
including an energy trading company called Enron, the Martha Stewart
company, and a thriving business that produces a vehicle called
the Edsel. Great land deals also are on fire right now, including
several lovely properties near Show Low, Arizona.

My Dear Mariam:
I think you may be shutting the barn door after the horses ran
off! No, that's not quite right. You're changing horses in the
middle of the stream!! Wait, that's wrong too. You're putting
the cart before the horse!!!
And I'm still not convinced that horse is not a nag.
You still must prove to me that you are who you claim to be.
I first must receive your photo, your mother's maiden name, and
a photocopy of your dental records before I disclose my bank information.
Thanks in advance for your cooperation and rest assured there
will be no more horse sayings in future e-mails because I have
exhausted my supply.

my condition who are you per say by the time my

because of my .live who are you to even voice out all
this rubbish .how much is even in yur account .if you

I told you yersterday that i will send my photograph

language so if you are ready for this transaction
better send your bank particulars or i reather seek

difficult.
May God bless.
yours faithfully
MARIAM ABACHA.
______________________
My Dear Mariam:
I believe you have misunderstood my intent. My language was meant
to be enlightening, not insulting. In fact, the tone of your response
wounds me deeply. I remain intensely interested in this business
opportunity. I am an extremely wealthy man and I'm sure you will
understand that I did not achieve that status by being careless.
I have more than $7 million in my bank account and therefore I
need to be assured you are whom you claim to be before I share
my bank particulars. I await your photo and mother's maiden name.
The dental records requirement can be satisfied by a photocopy
of your teeth faxed to me at XXX-XXX-XXXX. Once these matters
are taken care of I will immediately release my bank information
and we can move at extreme speed toward the finalization of our
marvelous business opportunity.

ME. IF ACTAULLY YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TRANSACTION
,KINDLY SEND YOUR BANK PARTICULARS TO ME AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE SO THAT I WILL FORWARD IT TO {PINACLE
INVESTMENT BANK BAHAMAS}AS MY ATTORNEY HAS PERFECTED
ALL THE NECESSARY DOCUMENTS REGARDING THIS TRANSFER OF
THESE MONEY WITH YOUR NAME AS THE BENEFICIARY .AND

ACCOUNT WHERE THE MONEY COULD BE TRANSFERED INTO.
PLEASE YOUR SHOULD BE UP AND DOING OR RATHER
YOU SEND
ME LETTER OF POWER OF ATTORNEY SO THAT I CAN MAKE A
CHANGE OF NAME 0F BENEFICIARY .
I IMPLORE YOU TO NOTE THAT ALL YOUR REQUEST
IN YOUR
LAST MAIL IS IRRELEVANT AS FAR AS BUSSINESS IS
CONCERN.
DO YOU TERM ME TO BE A DUPER NOT AT ALL , IT IS
BECAUSE OF MY PRESENT CONDITION THAT MAKE YOU TO D
OUBT MY PERSONALITY THEREFORE YOU SHOULD STOP WASTING
MY TIME IN THIS TRANSACTION OKAY ,I AM ABOVE THIS KIND
OF MESS.I WONDER IF YOU WILL NOT SWINDLE THESE MONEY
WHEN IT GETS INTO YOUR NORMINATED BANK ACCOUNT.
IT IS MOST AUSPICIOUS TIME YOU HAVE TO REPOSE
YOUR
INTEREST IN THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE BIG AMOUNT OF

CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION IN NO DISTANT TIME.
I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
GOD BLESS.
YOURS SINCERELY
MRS MARIAM ABACHA.
______________________
Dear Mariam:
I am eager to involve myself in this business opportunity and
I will immediately disclose my bank particulars as soon as you
provide me with your photo, your mother's maiden name (that means
her name before she married) and a faxed photocopy of your dental
records (a closeup picture of your teeth will work). These are
common forms of identification in the United States and will allow
me to rest assured that you indeed are Mariam Abacha and not some
imposter seeking access to the $7 million that is in my bank account.
If my small request is "boring" or "irrelevant"
or "a mess" to you, then find somebody else. Thus far
your horrendously uncooperative attitude indicates you are not
one to be trusted with my bank particulars. Hopefully you will
see the light, apologize profusely, and send me the requested
information posthaste.

Dear Mariam Abacha, assuming that is your true identity:
Sorry to hear you were ill. But now that you are well and clear-headed
you should be able to understand that I have not contacted you
since June 27 because you used terms such as "boring"
and "irrelevant" to describe my very sensible and common
request for proof of identification. Please comply immediately
with my request for your mother's maiden name and your dental
records (or a close-up photo of your teeth). I still am hurt and
depressed by your description of my dealings with you as "as
mess." Well, before we enter any business agreement, you
first must clean up your mess by supplying the requested information
and apologizing to me for your hurtful and mean-spirited conduct.
Then and only then may we do business. Please understand that
I must be protective of the $7 million that is in my bank account.

Dear Brad,
I have received your mail. Please know that
what we
are about to transact is a legitimate business and you
shall be entitled to commission in the end, and in
this, you should remember that I owe you no apology
only that you were not being respectful to our
business.
Therefore, if you really want to know more about
me,
open this website: http://members.tripod.com/aspaaus/abacha.htm
You also told me that I should provide my dental
pictures and my own mother's maiden name. What have
these got to do with this business. I am surprised
that you are an American, such learned and whom I have
also gone through your website and saw corporate
investment you are heading part of the section, any
are still talking as if you are still in higher
college. I never expected that from you.
Do remember also that I am wanting to entrust
large
sum of money to your hand, where and do I build this
confidence in you with all these happening, or do you
want me to look for another american businessman who
would assist me? Please tell me.
I am writing to you for the last time and if
you are
not ready, please reply this mail and indicate your
interest. If you are afraid of providing your account
with $7M, please provide another account where there
is no money so that I can transfer my fund into it.
Remember that this is the first transaction so far,
but let us start from here, this is not the only
business we can do together.
Thank you and reply.
MRS. MARIAM ABACHA.

You either sent me the site by mistake or as a joke. If it is
a joke, I am not laughing. Now I must firmly insist that you reveal
your mother's maiden name and fax your dental records to me at
XXX-XXX-XXXX. I would also like to see a third form of identification

you really are Mrs. Abacha and our business relationship can be
salvaged, even though you apparently have a warped sense of humor.

HER EXCELLENCY
MRS MARIAM ABACHA
#:57 BOMPAI ST,KANO
NIGERIA.
ATTN:SIR/MADAM,
I am Dr (Mrs) Mariam p.Abacha,the widow of the
late Nigerian Head of
state,General Sani Abacha,who died on the 8th June 1998 of heart
problems while on active duty.I am contacting you because of my
present need to
engage in a mutually beneficial business relationship with persons
whom
i have not had dealings before and who do not have any political
indignation in my country.
Since the death of my husband my family has
been subjected to all sorts
of harassment,intimidation and persecution by the Nigerian government.This
is because the people in the government now are people who believe
that my
husband victimized them while he was in power.They have frozen
numerous
bank accounts, seized monies and assets running into hundreds
of millions of
dollars belonging to my family under the excuse that my late husband
stole the funds and assets.It is in view of this that i seek the
assistance of
honest,God fearing people like you to help me
secure my family
funds.Presentlty i have with me the sum of US$58.75 million,which
i
transfer abroad as discreetly and as expeditiously as possible
and i wish to with
your help apply this fund towards investment
purposes in your
country.This money was my husband's share in a debt buy-back contract
deal between my
husband and a Russian company in our country's
multi billion dollar
Ajaokuta steel project.The Russian company returned my husband's
share of
US$72.50 million after his death to a security company which i
am the director
and his next of kin.With the intensification of the Nigerian Government's
probe into my family's finances and the consequent detention of
my son
Mohammed on trumped up charges,i acted fast to withdraw this money
from the security
company's vault and i have declared the security
company bankrupt.No
record whatsoever exist concerning this money because i have personally
destroyed all documentation concerning it.On your acceptance of
this bussiness
proposal, i will then deposit the funds in your name with another
security company.
Now i wish to solicit for your assistance to
transfer this money out of
Nigeria and into your account to be applied towards investment
in your
country.For your assistance i purpose to give you a commission
of ten
percent(10%)of the total sum involved,which you shall deduct immediately
the money is paid into your account.Please i implore you to exercise
the
utmost discretion in keeping this matter very confidential,whatever
your
decision will be.
Contact me immediately through my email address
as shown above.
RS FAITHFULLY,
DR(MRS)MARIAM ABACHA MNI,CON.
______________________
My Dear Mariam:
First of all, how many of you are there? I keep getting e-mails
from different people saying they are you. Do you have a split
personality or something? You might consider changing your name
to Sybil (See attached photo. Is there a resemblance?).
Anyway, while you admittedly have had a tough time of it since
your husband's death, you never have had to deal with the problem
described below in an e-mail from Rob to his sister, Sue. Rob
is a diver for Global Divers in Louisiana who performs underwater
repairs on offshore drilling rigs...
Hi Sue,
Just another note from your bottom-dwelling brother. Last week
I had a
bad day at the office. I know you've been feeling down lately
at work, so I
thought I would share my dilemma with you to make you realize
it's not
so bad after all.
Before I can tell you what happened to me, I first must bore
you with a
few technicalities of my job. As you know, my office lies at the
bottom of
the sea. I wear a suit! to the office. It's a wetsuit. This time
of year
the water is quite cool. So what we do to keep warm is this: we
have a
diesel powered industrial water heater. This $20,000 piece of
equipment sucks
the water out of the sea. It heats it to a delightful temperature.
It then
pumps it down to the diver through a garden hose, which is taped
to the
air hose.
Now this sounds like a darn good plan, and I've used it several
times
with no complaints. What I do, when I get to the bottom and start
working,
is take the hose and stuff it down the back of my wetsuit. This
floods my
whole suit with warm water. It's like working in a Jacuzzi.
Everything was going well until all of a sudden, my butt started
to itch.
So, of course, I scratched it. This only made things worse. Within
a
few seconds my butt started to burn. I pulled the hose out from
my back,
but the damage was done. In agony I realized what had happened.
The hot water machine had sucked up a jellyfish and pumped it
into my
suit. Now since I don't have any hair on my back, the jellyfish
couldn't stick
to it. However, the crack of my butt was not as fortunate. When
I scratched
what I thought was an itch, I was actually grinding the jellyfish
into my butt.
I informed the dive supervisor of my dilemma over the communicator.
His instructions were unclear due to the fact that he, along
with 5 other
divers, were all laughing hysterically.
Needless to say I aborted the dive. I was instructed to make
3
agonizing in-water decompression stops totaling 35 minutes before
I could reach
the surface to begin my chamber dry decompression.
When I arrived at the surface, I was wearing nothing! but my
brass
helmet.
As I climbed out of the water, the medic, with tears of laughter
running
down his face, handed me a tube of cream and told me to rub it
on my
butt as soon as I got in the chamber.
The cream put the fire out, but I couldn't poop for 2 days because
my
butthole was swollen shut.
So, next time you're having a bad day at work, think about how
much
worse it would be if you had a jellyfish shoved up your butt.
Now repeat to yourself, "I love my job, I love my job,
I love my job..."
Brad Christensen

LADY MARYAM ABACHA
ABACHA COURT
GIDADO ROAD
KANO - NIGERIA
Attn :
I am lady Maryam Abacha, wife of the of late General Sani Abacha,
ex-military Head of State of the Federal Republic of Nigeria who
died on the
8th of June 1998 of heart problems, I contacted you because of
my need
to deal with persons who my family and I have had no previous
personal
relationship.
An adventist friend of the family introduced
you to me. Since the death
of my husband, my family had been subjected to all sorts of harrassment
and intimidation with lots of negative reports emanating from
the
government and the press about my husband. The present Government
has also
ensured that our bank accounts are frozen and all assests siezed.
It is in view of this that I seek your co-operation
and assistance in
the transfer of the sum of US$200Million only being the very last
of my
family fund in my possession and control.
The Federal Government have seized all our properties
and frozen all
our accounts both local and international, but my only hope now
is the
available US$200Million cash, which I carefully packaged and deposited
with a security company.
If you are willing to assist us in receiving
this money on our behalf,
please contact my lawyer immediately on this and fax 234-1-7597012.
Your
benefit I can assure you will be very substantial.
Please ensure to keep this proposal very secret
and confidential for
obvious reasons and send to us your private telephone and fax
numbers for
easy and confidential communication.
We await your immediate response.
May Almighty ALLAH be with you and your family
Sincerely yours,
LADY MARYAM ABACHA
______________________________
Dear Lady Maryam Abacha:
Your story is a sad one that makes me weep crocodile tears. I
possibly may be of assistance, but I first must be assured you
are the real Lady Maryam. In the past, I have received e-mails
from others claiming to be Lady Maryam, but they failed to provide
adequate proof. Do you have a recent photo of yourself? Also,
could you send a strand of your hair to me at the address below
for DNA testing? If your hair is thinning and you can't spare
any, a fingernail or some ear wax will do. Meantime, I have attached
a photo of me. Do you like the sweater? I wear it all the time
because it is special, just like you.

PLS REPLY TO MY PRAVATE BOX maryam775@mailsurf.com
I am Hajia Maryam Abacha, widow of the Late
Gen. Sani Abacha former Nigerian Military Head of State who died
as a result of cardiac arrest.
The name of you company appeared in one of our
directories as one of the companies my late husband wanted to
do businesswith before he died.
I therefore decided to contact you in confidence so that I can
be able to move out the sum of US$35,760,000.00 ( Thirty Five
Million Seven hundred and Sixty Thousand U. S. Dollars ) which
was secretly
defaced and seal in big metal box for security reasons in your
account.
I personally therefore appeal to you for your
urgent assistance to move this money into your country where I
believe it will be safe since I cannot leave the country due to
the restriction of movement imposed on
me and members of my family by the Nigerian government.
You can contact me through, or my family lawyer
. Upon the receipt of your acceptance to assist me, my lawyer
shall arrange with you for a face to face meeting outside Nigeria
in order to liaise with him towards the effective completion of
this transaction.
However, arrangement has been put in place to
move this money out of the country in batches in a secret vault
through a diplomatic security company to any of the European country
as soon as you indicate your
interest. I also want you to be assured that all necessary arrangement
for the hitch-free of thistransaction has been concluded.
Conclusively, I have decided to offer you 25%
of the total sum 5% will be for whatever expenses that will be
incurred, while 70% is to be used in buying share in your company
subsequent to our free movement by the Nigerian government.
Please reply urgently and treat with absolute
confidentiality and sincerity.

Dear Maryam Abacha:
I am a successful inventor and surgeon who is very interested
in your proposal. However, I have received at least a half dozen
other e-mail offers from people claiming to be Mrs. Abacha. All
of these Abachas claimed to have boxes of money. But all were
impostors, causing me to lose $146,000 in security and other fees
for boxes that never arrived. I pray that you are the one true
Maryam Abacha and that your glorious box indeed will come, causing
me to swell with throbbing joy. Please provide some sort of proof

Dear Maryam:
Thank you for sending your photos. None of the others who claimed
to be Mrs. Abacha were able to provide snapshots of their box,
which in your case indeed is glorious. If we are to be partners,
you need to know a little about me. I am a very successful inventor
and cosmetic surgeon whose clients include many rich and famous
entertainers and movie stars. I own homes in Gila Bend, Arizona
and Blythe, California, which are the cultural meccas of America.
You should visit sometime. I have attached a photo of myself.
What should I do next to access your wondrous box?

Dear sir,
Top of the day to you.I got your mail and i was very
happy that you took the time to send me your picture.I
can now percieve that you are an honest man with
intergrity and honesty.As regards this transaction, i

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I have tried calling Mohammed's number three times this morning
but haven't been able to get through. I have extreme difficulties
making international calls. Usually my surgical assistant helps
me place such calls, but I don't want to get her involved in this
business opportunity. Can you have Mohammed call or e-mail me?
At some point soon, I'd like to get together for a meeting with
you and Mohammed. Travel is no problem for me since I am a man
of independent wealth, having performed hundreds of augmentation
surgeries on the rich and famous. I do wonderful work and my clients
reward me generously. I have attached a photo of the latest surgery
I performed on a very famous entertainer. I have informed this
individual that no other surgeries are recommended, save one -
a lobotomy.
Please respond as soon as possible about a site for our meeting.
After our business rendezvous, I could cut you a deal on some
augmentation work. A quick re-examination of the photos you sent
indicates you could use some help. Meantime, all the best until
I hear from you or Mohammed.

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mr. Adams:
As I mentioned earlier, others claiming to be Maryam Abacha have
extracted $146,000 in various types of fees from me for boxes
of money that never arrived. While this loss is not a great concern
since I am a weathy cosmetic surgeon whose clients include the
rich and famous, I would rather not waste any more money. Therefore
I propose that I meet either of you at a location of your choosing
before we consummate this wonderful business opportunity.
My travel schedule is open except for the week between Christmas
and New Year's. That week I will be bringing Marilyn Manson and
the Mormon Tabernacle Choir to my estate in Blythe for a holiday
concert. And later that week I will be performing a very difficult
surgery on Winona Ryder. I have been asked to remove parts of
her stomach and intestinal tract, and in their place create a
kangeroo-like pouch. Winona contends this procedure will serve
her well during her next trip to Saks. The procedures my clients
request seem to shock and sicken most people. But for the rich
and famous, you just have to realize that reality bites.
Please contact me immediately regarding potential travel dates
from eary to mid January. I am eager to get started with this
wonderful business opportunity.

Attn: Brad Christensen,
Thank you very much for your kind gesture mail
to me, infact I was delighted to hear from you after my client
Mrs. Abacha told me as of yesterday that you would be contacting
me for assistance. As a matter of fact, I will like to introduce
myself to you as Barrister Patrick Adams, the legal attorney to
the family of the late head of state Gen.Abacha, with over 35
years experience in the law firm, so I am equally ready to serve
you better than you expected.
I will like to bring to your notice that I will
be going to the federal high court of justice to do the changing
ownership on your behalf in all the documents, which you will
be required to travel with to Europe. Furthermore, you should
understand what it takes to do something of this magnitude in
the federal high court of justice that is the place I going to
do the changing of ownership replacing your own name in all the
documents as the benefice beneficiary of the funds in question
and we have hurry up before the federal high court of justice
closes for the year. This widow has lost so much millions of dollars
even properties worth billion of dollars, I will like you to show
her some love, you can make her happy only if you can bail her
out her present predicaments, she is under house arrest and cannot
travel out the country. She is making plans to sneak out the country
to meet up with you as soon as you claim this funds for her.
As a matter of fact, my clients Mrs. Abacha
has made me to know that she has forwarded to you all the information's
about her to enable you know exactly whom you are dealing with.
I will assure you on own side that you should worry not as every
modalities for a smooth claim of this funds on her behalf has
been put into place. As soon as I have done the changing of ownership
on your behalf, I will be forwarding to you all the required documents,
which you are required to travel with to Europe.
After my investigation on how much it will cost
you on the changing ownership in the federal high court, I was
made to know by the Chief Judge of the federal high court that
it will cost you the sum of USD8, 500 which is also been written
in the Nigerian constitution and it cannot be change. Sir I will
advise that you immediately effect to me the payment so that I
can proceed to Abuja (FCT) to finalize issues about the changing
of ownership.
Thank you very much as await your prompt response.
Yours In Service,
Barrister Patrick Adams (ESQ).
______________________________
Dear Mr. Adams and Mrs. Abacha:
Likewise I wish you both a wonderful Christmas. However, it will
be impossible to finalize this business deal before the end of
the year. As I mentioned in yesterday's e-mail, I first must meet
either of you before I become involved. But I am completely booked
between now and Jan. 1 tending to the whims and vanities of the
rich and famous and organizing the holiday concert at my estate
in Blythe.
I do have a nice window of opportunity between Jan. 2 and Jan.
14 to meet either of you and conduct our business affairs. I must
be back in Blythe on Jan. 15, however, for I have a surgery scheduled
on that day for singer Alanis Morissette. It is a transplant involving
the vocal chords of a screech owl. Ms. Morissette's agent contends
the operation will improve her tone quality and increase her marketability.
You may recall that Ms. Morissette's own vocal chords were badly
damaged in 1995 by a jagged little pill, forcing her in recent
years to feast on scraps.
Based on the information and photos Mrs. Abacha has provided,
I do believe she is the one true Maryam. But the fake Maryams
who have stolen $146,000 are making me more cautious this time.
Certainly you will understand this.
All the best,
Brad Christensen

Dear: Brad Christensen,
Merry Christmas and happy New Year to you and
your
family in advance, May God almighty guide and protect
you and your family this season. I have decided to
write you to know if you have contacted barrister.
I so much sympathise with on the lost, because
a lot
of top government officials do use my name and my late
husbands name to extort money from foreigners, you
know my late husband was such a multi billionaire with
a lot of companies and assets, them scattered all over
the world. But I thank God today so many of the top
rated government officials who has used our names to
extort money from foreign individuals and companyÆs
has been under the hook of the federal government of
Nigeria, please take heart for the loss as I
sympathise with you, you should be happy now that you
have met the right person in the person of Hajia
Maryam Abacha, do not have fear for anything as I
believed that God will see us through in this
transaction, that is the reason why I decided to
forward to you all my contact information and identity
to enable you identify whom you are actually dealing
with.
My dear brother, I will advise that you adhere
to the
instruction, because he will need to go and do the
changing of ownership on your behalf in the federal
high court of justice in Abuja, but I do not have Idea
on how much it will cost you for the changing of
ownership, which I believed that he barrister Patrick
Adams will be in the position to tell you how much it
will cost you for the changing of ownership.
Well it pains me so much that I will doing my
own
Christmas and New Year in my house arrest condition
that does not permit me to go to anywhere than inside
my own house, infact I am tired of such thing. If I
may ask, what are you going to buy me as Christmas
present? , Remember that I am expecting something
tangible which will suit my image and personality.
With God on our side we are going to achieve our aim
and objectives.
I will be waiting for your immediate response
on this
subject matter.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Abacha.
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I just explained my position in an e-mail to Patrick Adams. I
intend to follow his advice to the letter, but first we must meet
at a location of his choosing between Jan. 2 and Jan. 14.
I fully agree with you that it is shameful so many unsavory government
officials have used and and abused your name and your box. As
the attached photo will attest, just be thankful no cigars were
involved.
So sorry to hear that you are under house arrest. That must be
terrible this time of year. However, remember that every dark
cloud has a silver lining. Regarding incarceration, just be thankful
you will not have to endure Dick Clark this year. As for Christmas
presents, I will gladly send several to you. What is on your wish
list?

YOURS IN SERVICE,
BARRISTER PATRICK ADAMS (ESQ).
______________________________
Dear Mr. Adams:
I am unwilling to affect payment of anything until I meet with
you, and our meeting cannot be scheduled until after Jan. 1. The
Winona Ryder surgery is scheduled for early Monday morning, and
it promises to be the trickiest, most difficult operation of my
entire career. For the next few days I will be so busy reading
up on marsupials and making other preparations that I will not
even be able to respond to e-mails.
Following the Ryder surgery, I will travel anywhere to meet you
and I will bring plenty of funding with me to cover any fees.
Regarding the court's anticipated overcrowding to start the new
year, I intend to bring enough money to coax the authorities to
move us to the front of the line.
My Christmas in Blythe went well, despite a few problems. Who
would have guessed that professional musicians like Marilyn Manson
and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir would have artistic differences?
Please advise when and where we are to meet and how much money
I should bring to me. Meantime, I intend to send Mrs. Abacha a
nice gift.

Subject: PLS EFFECT PAYMENT TO BARRISTER PATRICK
ADAMS
Dear Friend,
I so much appreciate all your efforts and seriouness
towards
concluding this transaction with me, i hereby want to you to forget
everything about those bastards who choosed to rip off peoples
hards
erning currnecy with my name and my late husbands name. Infact
if i
should tell you my urgly life story since the death of
my late husband, you will have pity on me, could you
beleive that the present civilian president has embark
on frozen all my late husbands accounts both foreign
and localy here and has also seized our properties
worths billions of dollars all in the name of
politics.
However, i am praying that the wish of God happens our life, God
has
been so kind to me and my family, currently my elderly son Mohammed
Abacha is presently on detention for the past three to four years
sine the death of my late husband, we have been suffering, but
i beleived that God has used to rescue us from our
present predicaments. I learnt from my legal attorney
Barrister Patrick Adams this morning that you have not
sent him the money he requires to do the change of
ownership in the federal high court in Abuja.
As a matter of urgency, i will advise that you
immediately effect the payment of USD8,500 to him to
enable get all the required documenst ready so that as
soon as you returns from your trip,there will bo
nothing else that is going to delay your travelling to Europe
for
the claim. I have mandated hin to get all the documents ready
for
you, kindly ask him to give you the information you are going
to use
to effect the payment to him.
Hope you understand the nature of this transaction
that it requires utmost confidentiality and secrecy,
that is why it is very important that he get the
change of ownership done before the new year, i have requested
him
to be in contact with the Chief Judge of the federal high court
so
that the change of ownership will be secretly done. I would have
given him the money for the change of ownership, but i could not
because of my present predicaments, i have no acess to
a dime, we are been sorrounded with almost 25
inteligent security personal.
As regards to your question on what kind of christmas present
do i
wish you send to me, well i will suggest that you get me something
like (1)WHRIST WATCH (2)JWELRIES, this alone will be ok for me
to
remember you each of every day i have a look at the
present,also if you can get me very good printing ink
for my computer at home, the one i have has finished0
(3)PRINTING INK. I believed that you will also get me
something that will suit my image and personality as
the wife of a former president.
I pray that God will guide and protect you and your
family, as soon as you get the presents ready, i will equally
give
you details of how you are going to send them to me. I appreciate
your photograph,you are such a handsome man, believe that you
are
much more handsome like when you are young.
Extend my sincerely greetings to every members of your family,
thank
you very much and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Abacha.
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
Believe me, I already have pity on you. Your situation saddens
me and is causing tremendous flatulence. However I have made a
vow to myself and my personal staff that I will not enter into
business deals sight unseen. I already have instructed Mr. Adams
to schedule our meeting for early January, and I trust he will
do that. I will bring whatever amount of money he suggests to
our meeting.
My Christmas at the estate in Blythe encountered a few rough spots
when Marilyn Manson and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir couldn't agree
on the key for "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer." Then
somebody spiked the egg nog. The choir members absolutely went
out of control, wearing lampshades, dancing on my good furniture,
and getting sick on the expensive carpeting. The odor was horrendously
vile and awful, but it didn't seem to bother Marilyn at all. Marilyn
not only led the cleanup, but at the banquet, even carved the
roast beast. Some say Marilyn's heart grew three sizes that day
and now is faintly audible on a stethoscope.
Regarding your gift list, nothing there is very expensive. I would
rather give you something of much greater value. As the top cosmetic
surgeon in California, I would provide you a facelift or Botox
treatments at no charge.
I also do great ears, nose and boob work. I can make you look
and feel 20 years younger. What do you think?
Happy New Year,
Brad Christensen

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mr. Adams:
My, oh my, Mrs. Abacha. I return this morning from the extremely
difficult Winona Ryder surgery and find three e-mails from you,
all whining about gifts and drugs. As I mentioned previously to
Barrister Adams, my intensive preparations for the Ryder marsupial
surgery would make it impossible for me to respond to e-mails
for several days. These preparations required me to travel to
several zoos and then visit the Blythe Public Library to review
tapes of Wild Kingdom and the Animal Planet. I even acquired a
technical adviser by flying in a veterinarian from Australia.
Still the surgery took 16 hours and was the most difficult of
my career. At one point, I accidentally removed Ms. Ryder's kidney
when I was scooping out sections of intestine. Thankfully, I had
enough surgical duct tape on hand. I thought I was finished at
13 hours, but the pouch kept flopping open. Now it snaps shut
nicely. It's amazing what a little Velcro can do. Now Ms. Ryder
can shop unfettered anywhere in the world.
Now on to our business before I must perform the surgery on Alanis
Morissette on Jan. 15. Please, Mr. Adams, advise where and when
we are to meet. Regarding your gifts, Mrs. Abacha, I will purchase
them today. And as a surgeon, I have access to all drugs. Tell
me what drugs you need and I will send you an immediate supply
Fed Ex. Exactly where do I send the gifts and drugs?
All the best,
Brad Christensen

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
Thanks for the address for the Fed Ex shipment. However, you
negected to mention the name of the drugs that you need so I can
include them with the shipment. Please do so immediately because
I worry tremendously about your health and as stated previously,
have been suffering overpowering flatulence as a result.
Regarding the timing of my meeting with your lawyer, the window
of opportunity has just narrowed. Now I must perform an operation
before the Alanis Morissette surgery on Jan. 13. It is an emergency
brain transplant for Britney Spears that's scheduled for Thursday,
Jan. 9. This surgery absolutely cannot be delayed because Ms.
Spears has reached the critical stage.
For example, in a recent interview, Ms. Spears was quoted as
saying: "The cool thing about being famous is traveling.
I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and
stuff." And then, in an interview with Canadian late night
television host John Bullard, she proclaimed: "I like most
of the places I've been to, but I've never really wanted to go
to Japan, simply because I don't really like eating fish, and
I know that's very popular out there in Africa, but the whole
thing doesn't appeal to me."
Britney's agent obviously is quite concerned and Britney's mother
has reached the point of hysteria. They believe such statements
will doom Britney's popularity. I have tried to calm them, pointing
to President Bush's amazing approval rating in the face of so
many inane statements. But they refuse to listen and always bring
up the case of Mariah Carey, whose popularity tumbled when she
refused a brain transplant, even after uttering this statement:
"Whenever I watch TV and see those poor starving kids all
over the world, I can't help but cry. I mean I'd love to be skinny
like that but not with all those flies and death and stuff."
Please inform Mr. Adams that my trip absolutely must conclude
before Jan. 9 or else be scheduled to begin after Jan. 15. Also,
do not forget to name the precise drugs you need because your
life may depend on them. Finally, please pray for Britney.
Happy New Year,
Brad Christensen

Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I am responding to your last two messages (which I am including
with this e-mail along with some previous correspondence for reference
purposes). Sorry for not responding earlier, but for the past
several days I was celebrating the successful Winona Ryder marsupial
surgery. Your proposed timing for the meeting in Accra, Ghana
will work perfectly. In fact, I have already scheduled a flight.
It is British Airways Flight 288/81 that leaves Phoenix at 8:15
p.m. on Jan. 4 and arrives in Accra on Sunday, Jan. 5 at 9 p.m.
Will you send lawyer Patrick Adams to greet me at the airport?
We must conclude our business promptly because I must leave Accra
on Jan. 8 in order to return for the critical Britney Spears brain
transplant, followed by the Alanis Morissette vocal chords replacement
operation. These are exceedingly busy and prosperous times for
me.
I have purchased the Ventolin and Centrum you mentioned, as well
as a fine wrist watch, jewelry and printing ink. I will be bringing
all these items with me to Accra. I also was hoping to perform
free implant and other surgeries on you, but unfortunately there
will not be enough time for all of that. Maybe I could do a single
implant this time and do the second on another trip?
Please have your lawyer call me today to iron out details and
provide hotel recommendations. Thanks for your patience, my future
patient.
Brad Christensen

coming to Ghana West Africa.

order for him to meet you up in Accra Ghana.
Obviously,he will be at the airport to recieve you.
Thank you very much for your gift and the drugs that

God bless you.
Have a wonderful day and best wishes of the

Dear Brad,
I am writing to know if you have received the
last
mail i sent to you this morning, please you should
kindly reconfirm to me that you have received all the
mails sent to you. As a matter of fact, i am still
waitin for the tracking number of the gift items you
told me that you are going to send to me as two days
ago.
However, have my attorney gotten acros to you?,
i
requested him to reach you in regards of the meeting
venue in Accra Ghana which is schedule 5th of January
in Ghana, like i told you my attorney will be there in
Ghana by torwards this weekend to facilitate things
before your arrival. As a matter of urgency,i will
advise that you immediately get yourself ready to
proceed to Ghana which will enable you to finalise
issues with my attorney before you finally move to
Amsterdam Holland where you will be picking up the
consignment in question.
Please get me informed as soon as you send me
the gift
items as you promised. Please kindly get intouch with
my attorney barrister Patrick Adams so that he can
update you more before you arrive Ghana.
Thank you very much as i await your kind gesture
response on this subject matter.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Maryam Abacha.
______________________________
Dear Maryam:
Two e-mails already today? Please stop hounding me with all the
e-mails about gifts and drugs and re-read the message I sent this
morning. If you do, you'll discover that I am bringing your gifts
and drugs with me on Sunday when I arrive in Ghana. My suitcase
is involved, not Fed Ex.
If you want to harass somebody, please zero in on your lawyer,
for he has not yet contacted me and time is running short. I need
to know he will greet me at the airport. I'd also like a hotel
recommendation.
As you know, I am extremely busy with all of the whims and vanities
of my rich and famous clients and have no time left for foolishness.
On that point, I am thinking of using Howdy Doody for the Britney
Spears brain transplant. However, time is running short and I
still need a signed release from Buffalo Bob and a second opinion
from a tree surgeon.
Please have your lawyer contact me by phone or e-mail. Thanks.
Brad Christensen
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I still have not heard from Patrick Adams yet regarding my arrival
in Accra at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 5. I have contacted the La
Palm Royal Beach Hotel and plan to stay there. However, I will
cancel my flight if Mr. Adams fails to telephone or e-mail me
to guarantee he is still interested in this business proposition
and in meeting me at the airport.
Finally, let me apologize for the terse tone of my last e-mail
yesterday. I have been under enormous stress regarding the upcoming
emergency brain transplant on Britney Spears. And my stress level
skyrocketed through the roof this morning when I discovered I
may not be able to use Howdy Doody as the donor. First, the tree
surgeon contends that usage of Mr. Doody is inadvisable due to
iron-poor sap and a small termite infestation in his frontal lobe.
Next I learned it will be extremely difficult to obtain a signed
release from Buffalo Bob Smith since he passed away in 1998. Please
understand that these are the day-to-day problems I've been struggling
with lately. And Mr. Adams is only making matters worse by not
finalizing our meeting plans.

Dear Brother,
I am very sorry that you have not received the
mail my
attorney Patrick Adams sent to you this afternoon, he
made me to know that he has sent you an email
regarding his travelling to Ghana tomorrow, which will
enable him to facilitate arrangement on a suitable
hotel where both of you are going to you meet for the
meeting.
Please kindly check your mail box to know if
sent you
mail as he said, as soon as you do that you should
also get me informed to enable me know that he
actually sent you an email. Although he told me that
he will be in Accra Ghana tomorrow, so that he will be
able to receive you at the airport on your arrival,
please do not cancel this arrangement, he will be
there as i beleive that he will also call you to
reconfirm his travelling tomorrow to Ghana.
I will advise that you get yourself ready to
fly down
to Ghana on sunday, as every neccessary arrangement
has been put into place for you to meet Barrister
Patrick Adams in Ghana on sunday.
Thank you my dear brother as i pray that God will
continue to bless you and your family in jesus name i
pray Amen.
I will be waiting for your urgent reply.
Yours Sister,
Mrs Abacha.
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
You were right about Patrick Adams calling me. He did so and
he agreed to arrange for the hotel and meet me at the airport.
Then, ten minutes later, I received another call from another
man claiming to be Patrick Adams. When I said I had just spoken
to a Patrick Adams, he mumbled something and stalled, obviously
for comedic effect. He then admitted he was joking and actually
was your son Mohammed. Your son must be a really funny guy and
an absolute joy to be around. I'm sure his sense of humor will
serve him well in all future dealings with me.
Anyway, everything appears to be on track now. I purchased my
airline ticket this afternoon. Tomorrow morning I will finish
packing. In addition to the presents you requested, I will bring
an extra-special gift, the collected works of Jerry Lewis, for
Mohammed. Soon we all will be even richer and happier than we
already are.

Dear Mr Brad,
Hope all is well with you and your family.I
do
appreciate the fact that you are leaving tommorrow to
arrive on sunday.Please call the operations manager of
the fiduciary house in Ghana Mr Victor Etim and ask
him to tell you the exact ammount you are to come with
and feel free to discuss anything with him and please
ask him to give you his fax number so that you can
send him your flight details so that he can send the
official guards of the fiduciary house to pick you up
at the airport and to arrange for hotel reservations
for you.
Please call him on this number 233-24-252439.
Make this call as soon as you recieve this mail and
get back to me immediately as I am waiting for your
mail details in this respect.
Thank you very much for your kind gesture and keep
everything as confidential as possible.
Regards,
Mrs Maryam Abacha.
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I can perform any type of surgery you can think of (plus many
you wouldn't want to) but I have never learned how to make international
calls. I always have my personal staff place such calls, but I
absolutely do not want to get them involved in our business relationship.
My staff is way too greedy. I never even tell them about my uncoming
surgeries until the last moment because they always pester my
patients for signatures they can sell on E-Bay.
I am leaving soon for my estate in Blythe so please have Mr.
Etim call immediately so I won't have to Etim and run. If he doen't
get in touch, just have him send me an e-mail stating the amount
of money I should bring. Be sure to contact me at the correct
e-mail address at my estate, which is bradchristensen@cox.net.
Patrick Adams said he would arrange for my hotel, but if Mr. Etim
also wants to do that, that's fine. Two hotels are better than
none. Finally, please forward my flight details to Mr. Etim. It
is British Airways Flight 288/81 departing Phoenix, Arizona at
8:15 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 4, and arriving, after a connection
in London, in Accra, Ghana at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 5.

Dear Mr. Etim:
Thank you for the instructions. I actually will be bringing more
than $42,000 with me to pay for the hotel and finance a celebration
party at the conclusion of our business. Please ensure that we
will be staying at a four- or five-star hotel or resort that has
a banquet room or ballroom. Also, can you, Mrs. Abacha, son Mohammed
and Patrick Adams arrange for champagne, caviar, a caterer, a
jazz quintet (sax, trumpet, piano, bass and drums) and a mime
for our celebration party? Thanks in advance.
This is the start of a wonderful relationship, but time is of
the essence. I am here today and Ghana tomorrow. Also remember
that all our business and celebration must be finalized before
Jan. 8 when I must return to the U.S. to perform the emergency
surgery on Britney Spears.

Apparently the greeting party at the
Accra airport was a tad disappointed the surgeon to the rich and
famous was a no-show. On Monday morning I retrieved three voicemails:
4:23 p.m. Mountain Standard Time - "Brad,
this is Patrick Adams. I'm here in Accra waiting for you. I'm
expecting a call or an e-mail from you on whether you are in
Accra or not. Thank you very much."
4:28 a.m. MST - "Brad, this is Patrick
Adams. Please, we are expecting an e-mail or a call on whether
you are in Accra or whether you are taking us on as a child's
play. I'm expecting an e-mail from you on when you are coming
or if this is a child's play. I assume you know we are not happy
about it. Thank you."
5:36 a.m. MST - "Brad, this is Patrick
Adams. We are in Accra waiting for you. I am expecting a call
or an e-mail on whether you are in Accra, or whether you are
coming, or whether you think we are playing to keep us here.
Please call me at this number - 23324648077. I'll be expecting
your call. Thank you."
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha, Mohammed, Victor Etim and Patrick Adams:
I have just listened to three voicemails from Patrick . I am
very sorry, but I had no time to call or e-mail until now. Britney
Spears's condition reached the acute stage on Saturday, necessitating
an immediate brain transplant. First I worked feverishly to identify
a donor. Various possibilities were mentioned, including Ross
Perot, Pee Wee Herman and Elvis Presley. Aliens, scrod and congressmen
also were suggested, but rejected out of hand because we needed
a human brain. Eventually Homer Simpson was chosen for the simple
reason we desired only a modest improvement in Ms. Spears I.Q.
Any larger improvement would have distanced Britney from her fan
base. The selection is not without its problems, but it is our
belief Ms. Spears can be trained to dance without falling down
and pitch Pepsi rather than Duff Beer.
The actual operation began early Sunday morning and lasted 24
hours due to two unexpected events. First it took an inordinate
amount of time just to locate Britney's brain. Second, Marge Simpson
was absolutely freaking out and, unlike Homer, had to be sedated.
Hopefully we still can conclude our business arrangement, but
now I cannot travel until mid January, after the surgery to replace
Alanis Morissette's vocal chords with those of a screech owl.
Patrick, please reply regarding your availability later this month.
Again I regret any inconvenience the Spears surgery may have caused.
Brad Christensen

Dear Mr Brad,
It is unfortunate that you were unable to come
due to
the emergency,well Mr Patrick went to the airport only
to disappointed.
Actually,I was not very happy about the your
rescent
mails which looks more as if this transaction is a
childs play.I do understand probably you did not have
the fundsto follow up this transaction,but I prefer
somebody who will speak out his mind than mess the
whole people up,thisnot an healthy situation as far
business of this nature is concern.
I am not in essence saying that you shouldn't
have
attended to your patience,but simple courtesy demands
that you should have told us this earlier than now and
aside from that your mails make us look as fools.
What you do not understand is that our economy is a
cash economy so different from your economy.
We have open up all transfer windows such that upon
your arrival,then everything will run smoothly only to
have this mess from you.
I am very unhappy about this situation as it
is
regarded as a blow on my personality and as if you are
taking undue advantage of my predicament.
Listen,my good friend businesses like this comes once
in a life time and if you wants to participate,you
dont have to play games,your word is your word you
dont just make empty promises,otherwise your trust
will be daunted or your words will always be taken in
doubt.
Thank you.
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
Harumpfff! It is beneath a woman of your standing to suggest
that a prominent surgeon would engage in child's play! Additionally,
your shameful comments are an affront to prominent surgeons everywhere.
I believe an apology is in order. In fact, I demand one!
As for your statement that I made you "look like fools,"
rest assured you need no help in that regard.
Assuming you are able to repair the damage you have caused to
the sensibilities and fragile egos of surgeons eveywhere, I will
stop pouting and entertain future business dealings with you.
In that regard, please advise on Patrick's availability in mid-January
for another trip to Ghana.

Dear Mr Brad,
Hope all is well with you. I am responding to
this
mail unbehalf of my client to inform you of the
current developments as regards this transaction.
I beleive my coming to Ghana is a blessing as I have
made alternative arrangements with Mr Victor Etim for
the money to be sent to you via wire transfer.
Please visit the bank website and open an account ans
send the account informations to Mr Victor Etim and to
me as well so that he can effect the transfer of the
funds in the nominated account which you have opened
with the International Commerce bank via their website
as given below:www.internationalcommercebank.20fr.com
Please visit the bank website today,open the
account
and send the details to Mr Victor Etim and get back to me.
We sincerely apoligizes for whatever has happened in
between the two parties and seek for a peaceful
business relationship.
We still want to do this transaction with you,as
we
have gone a longway with you .We do understand that
you are a busy person and we seek for this alternative
arrangements so that we can conclude this transaction
as soon as possible and to avoid future re-occurence
of not being able to meet up with appointments due to
emergencies given the nature of your job.
Thank you very much for your understanding as we wait
for your prompt response in this regards.
Best Regards,
Mr Patrick Adams
______________________________
Dear Mr. Adams:
I also seek a successful conclusion of our business transaction,
but not through wire transfers. Mrs. Abacha may have mentioned
to you that several others have posed as Mariam Abacha and have
stolen $146,000 from me in past transactions. I am eager to take
your Mrs. Abacha at her word, but just to be sure, our business
dealings must be face-to-face.
Let me apologize for the inconvenience of traveling 400 kilometers
(nearly 250 miles) from Lagos, Nigeria to Accra, Ghana to meet
me late Sunday night at the airport. Let me also apologize for
having to make all those long-distance calls to my voicemail and
then traveling all that way back to Nigeria empty handed. But
you must understand I live a surgeon's life, which is a life of
inconveniences and daily struggles foisted on me by the rich and
famous.
Can you please have some compassion and understanding for what
I must go through each and every day? When a client requires an
emergency surgery, I must jump and perform it immediately. Once
I was in the restroom stall when the call came from Cher for yet
another emergency lift and tuck. I rushed to do my duty before
my business was done. Sure the air in the operating room was quite
unpleasant and the anethesiologist had to do double duty with
a can of Glade, but the surgery was completed successfully and
on schedule! I must admit, though, some days I wish I were a lumberjack,
just like my dear papa.
Please advise of your availability between Jan. 15 and Jan. 22.
During this period I will not be bothered with emergency surgeries
because I have scheduled a week's vacation.

Dear Mr. Brad,
Thanks for mails and your anticipation in assist
me in getting this transaction to a successful conclusion. However
because of the long delay in this transaction, I discovered that
Mr. Victor Etim and some other people have been trying to claim
this money without informing Mr. Patrick Adams or Me. Mr. Victor
Etim used my name and other information which I gave him access
to because I wanted you to stand as the beneficiary of my Funds.
He went as far as involving some other party from US which was
schedule to claim this money on Friday this week.
God has saved me once again. I arranged to move
the Boxes where this money was kept to a save place in Europe
by tomorrow. No body is aware of my new arrangement including
Mr. Patrick because I can no longer trust the people in which
I am dealing with. They even went as far as entering my email
box maryam_vvvv@yahoo.com to send mails to some of my friends
on false pretence. Because of this I will open a new box (maryamaba517@yahoo.com)
which I will communicate only with you and when the trunk boxes
arrive Europe, I will give you the paticulars on how you are going
to get the Funds.
I will not communicate with you until Friday
when I am sure that my funds are safely delivered. I will therefore
relieve Mr. Patrick Adams from this point and appoint another
close friend that will assist me which I will inform you on Friday.
You are therefore advised to stop further communicate with any
other person as regard to this transaction until you hear from
me on friday for your own safety. I have introduced a code which
we will use in communicating for you to know that you are really
taking to the right person. My telephone lines have been bugged
and a lot of people are using my name in rubbing people of their
money. I do not need any money from you, all I need is your present
as the beneficiary to avoid the Federal Government from freezing
my asset. Our new code in this transaction will be "VIRGINIA".
If you receive any phone call, email or fax from any other person
without that code then you are certainly dealing with the wrong
person or group of person. So you are adviced not to respond to
such people until you hear from me. I will not call you for now
because our telephone lines are bugged but I will send you email
through my new box which I opened for this transaction.
Lastly, if you still want to conclude this transaction
with me, you just have to stay calm. Prepare yourself for a two
days visit to Europe. I will provide you with the rest details
on Friday when I hear from my diplomat friend who is handling
my consignment. Always remember to maintain absolute confidentiality
and secrecy in this transaction, especially with my new arrangement
with my diplomat friend to ensure safety for both of us.
I wish you the best of luck in your operation
and I hope to come visit you in US as soon as we claim these funds.
Thanks,
Maryam
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I was wondering what Patrick Adams was doing in your box. Shame
on him. And I can only guess what Mr. Etim would do with your
box. From this point forward I will only respond to e-mails with
the "Virginia" code. And my e-mails to you will always
begin with "Scrod" as the code. I eagerly await your
communication on Friday.

Dear Mr Brad,
After due delibration with my client,I had
to urgently
call you which I drop a voice mail on your phone.To
let you know that I have confirm my availabilty on the
15 to 22 for us to meet at Accra Ghana as you had
earlier proposed.
The reason is that I have discovered that the
visa to
Holland will take about 3-4 weeks and this will alter
all of our arrangement.And again given the
circumstances on ground I may possible be denied of
the visa.It is more sensible that we meet at Accra
-Ghana as previously arranged.
In view of the the opening of the account,please
go
ahead to open the account, you may not be required to
do that with money and send me the details so that we
can activate the account ourself.This we are doing to
just to open transfer window such that it will be
easier for you to make the transfer when we meet in
Accra on the date you will make yourself available.
I will like you to take proceed with this information
and act accordingly so that we can make progress so
that upon your arrival,we will not be starting afresh
on that issue,as this will safe time and money.
I once again, confirm my availabilty in Ghana within
the days of 15 -22 of january.
Sorry for whatever inconvieniences until we
meet on
the appointed date.
Thank you and God bless.

Subject: VIRGINIA
Dear Mr. Brad,
I thanks you very much for acknowledging the
receipt of my message of yesterday with understanding. Like I
told you ealier on, I am been forced to withdraw from Mr. Etim
and Patrick because of the safety of my funds and me.
After this experince, I will be very careful
on who I discussion with on matters as regarding to this transaction
because until this money is in you possession, I do not believe
it is safe.
By tomorrow, which is friday, by the special
grace of God, I will give you all the neccessary particulars to
go ahead to claim the funds without any delay. How about your
operation? Hope all went well. As soon as these funds is in your
possession, I will like to invest in such areas in USA or any
other business you feel is lucrative.
I saw your code "Scrod" and I will
not respond to any message without this code because I believe
that this people may try to contact me again on false pretence
and do not honour any message without my code "Virginia"
or even call from Patrick Adams or Etim. Please like me know immediately
you are contacted by any one as regarding to the claim of my funds
because it will be for our own safety because they no longer have
any access to my funds. By tomorrow I will contact you again to
update you.
My regards to your family.

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mrs. Abacha:
I have received e-mails from maryam_vvvv@yahoo.com and from maryamaba517@yahoo.com
, each professing to be Maryam Abacha and each with their own
code word that I am supposed to use. Now, I certainly am no fool,
but a graduate of the Gepetto School of Advanced Surgery and Whittling
in Pinnochio, Iowa. Therefore, I am almost certain both of you
don't have boxes of money. I need absolute proof that one of you
is the true Maryam Abacha.
What each of you needs to do is send several forms of identification.
These must include a recent photo and a birth certificate, plus
dental records, which are a very common form of identification
in the United States. The dental records requirement can be satisfied
with a close-up photo or a Xerox copy of your teeth that is e-mailed
or faxed to me. The first Maryam who performs all of these requirements
will be the one, true Maryam. I will follow that Maryam to the
end of the Earth in pursuit of our dreams and any surgical needs.

DEAR BRAD,
I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM YOU AS REGARDING MY LAST
MAIL. DO YOU WANT ME TO BELIEVE THAT YOUR SILENCE MEANS THAT YOU
ARE NO LONGER WILLING TO WORK WITH ME AND YOU BELIEVE MR. PATRICK
AND MR. ETIM (MY BEST) WILL DELIVER MY FUNDS TO YOUR FROM HOLLAND.
WELL, DO NOT SAY I DIDN'T WARN YOU BECAUSE YOU WILL NOT ONLY END
UP LOOSING YOUR TIME AND EFFORT, YOU WILL ALSO LOOSE YOUR MONEY.
MY DIPLOMAT FRIEND JUST GAVE ME SOME GOOD NEWS
THAT HE HAS MOVED THE FUNDS TO A SAFE PLACE BUT MY FUNDS IS CERTIANLY
NOT IN HOLLAND. HE WANTED TO CONTACT YOU TO INFORM YOU ON HOW
YOU COULD ASSIST TO CLAIM THE FUNDS THIS WEEK BUT IT SEEMS AS
IF YOU ARE TOO BUSY WORKING WITH THOSE FAKE PEOPLE. IF YOU WANT
TO HELP ME, YOU HAVE TO BE WISER TO KNOW WHO YOU ARE DEALING WITH
AND GET YOURSELF OUT OF ANY TROUBLE.
PLEASE INFORM ME IF YOU ARE NO MORE WILLING
TO GO AHEAD SO THAT I CAN LOOK FOR SOMEONE ELSE WHO CAN DO THE
JOB.
HOPING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
REGARDS,
MARYAM

Dear my Friend Brad,
i really understand your thougt towas this
transaction. i can remember that i told you that
people are using my contact to tarnish my image
cleaning that their are maryam but not.please as you
understand where this transaction began, plaes if you
really want to help me as i told you concerning the
business i will appriciate it accordingly.remember i
told you early that i am underhouse arrest that is why
i identify myself to prove that i am not those who
want to ripe where they did not sow. i have fine out
this transaction can not be secure in ghana so the
positive place to obtain this fund is holland okay. so
please i don't want you to spend much money that while
i negociate to see that you pick the congnment in
holland,please my lawyer have obtain his visa to
enable him meet-up with you face to face and discuss
amicable. i'll be looking forward to hear from you
Thankd and God bless U
From your faithfully one
Mrs maryam Abacha
(my best)
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha and Mrs. Abacha:
I am responding to both of you and am including your most recent
correspondence. First let me remind you I already have lost $146,000
to people who have wrongly claimed to be Mrs. Abacha and am not
interested in repeating those mistakes.
Second, I repeat that in addition to sending a recent photo,
you also must provide your dental records, which are a very common
form of identification in the United States. The dental records
requirement can be satisfied with a close-up picture or photocopy
of your teeth that is e-mailed or faxed to me at (602) XXX-XXXX.
Simply go to a photocopier, press your face against the glass,
smile broadly and push start. The first Maryam who performs these
requirements will be the one I conduct business with. Maryam_vvvv@yahoo.com
currently is a step ahead because she provided the attached photo
and now only needs to send her dental records. You must do this
to prove, as you say, that you are "not those who want to
ripe where they did not sow."
Please understand that following the Alanis Morissette surgery
on the 15th of Janurary I will have an open week for travel before
I must perform surgeries on other rich and famous clients. Therefore
it serves everybody's interest if you complete the dental identification
requirement without further delay.
Dr. Brad Christensen

Brad Christensen,
I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your
mail,
however i am very sorry for not have responded your
mail up till this moment.As a matter of fact, i will
like to let you know that the picture required me to
send to you is not at my reach for now, why because
all my valuable properties is been reloacted to my own
building at the outskirt of my city where i reside,
that is why i will not be able to send you the picture
as you requuested, secondly, i don't have the free
liberty to move aroud as i am been policed with almost
25 well experience security personels both in my
present location and my own building i am teeling you
about here in Kano state in the northern part of
Nigeria.
Please kindly bear with me in this regards,
because it
wasn't fault at all,because it pleases me to forward
you the picture as you requested, based on the fact
that i have such picture available to send, but not at
my reach for now. As a matter of urgency, i will
advise that you kindly reconfirm to me the very date
you will be travelling to Amsterdam to conclude this
transaction for me, i have already discussed with my
attorney about this arrangement, infact he is now
getting ready to proceed to Amsterdam where both of
you will meet for discussion before proceeing to the
security company where the consignment was deposited
to pick it up.
Hope you could remember that the change of ownership
has not been done up till now of which you are the one
delaying all the arrangement we have made so far to
conclude this transaction. i will advise that you
contact the security company in Amsterdam Holland so
that they will be able to let you know exactly how
much you will be coming there with to claim the
consignment which is under their custody for a long
time. However, i will like you to understand that my
attorney will be there in Amsterdam Holland before
your arrival there to facilitate all the arrangement
with the security company there.
I will like to bring to your notice that, the
pictures
of which i have sent to you was the ones i have
already in my computer, that is why it was very easy
for me to send you the informations, do not bother
yourself about the picture you are requesting for as i
beleived that seeing my attorney face to face will
have a lot to talk about me and my genuity as you are
having some kind of doubt about me, i am the only
Maryam Abacha, we are not two here in Nigeria bearing
that particular name ok, i have my credentials with
you which is beleive that it is enough to tell you
that i am the only Maryam Abacha.
Finally, i will like you to urgently inform
me when
you will be arriving Amsterdam Holland, also before
your departure, i will advise that you forward to me
your flight schedule details. If i may ask you once
again, are you not going to send me the gift items you
have already told me that you bought for me?.
Please kindly call me attorney on this tel,
number
234-803-3001276 so that he will be able to give you
full details of this transaction before you arrive
Amsterdam. You can now see the reason why i was very
worried about the conclusion of this transaction of
which you delayed it up till this moment, now the
federal government of Nigeria has inuagurated a panel
to look into some of unrecovered funds from any part
of the world, that is why i plead with you to hurry up
so that you can go to Amsterdam to pick up the
consignment before it's been discovered, because that
particular funds is my only last hope for now.
Thank you very much as i await your urgent reply
on
this matter.
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs Abacha.
(My Best)
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
Again, before I travel anywhere, you must prove that you are
the real Maryam Abacha by faxing me a copy of your dental records.
Please satisfy this requirement as soon as possible by going to
a photocopying machine, opening the top, pressing your smiling
mouth against the glass, and pushing start to copy your teeth.
Then fax the resulting dental record to me at (602) XXX-XXXX.
I have lost $146,000 to fake Maryam Abachas already. I am not
interested in further losses and have no interest in sending gifts
to fake Maryams either. Therefore, your gifts will remain locked
in my storage facility until you supply the required dental record.
Yesterday's surgery on Alanis Morissette went very well, although
at first we encountered difficulties in capturing a screech owl.
Now I am able to travel, assuming you promptly provide the dental
record. You see, I must be back in Blythe by January 24 to prepare
for my next surgery. This one will be a difficult leg-replacement
operation on movie star Tom Cruise. The surgery will add eight
inches to his height, making him nearly normal. At first Mr. Cruise
resisted the notion, but finally consented when I explained successful
operations on other Hollywood midgets. These included Billy Barty,
Robert Redford, and the actor who played Yoda. Following this
surgery, I will have another window of opportunity for travel
from January 27 to February 4. All the best.
Brad Christensen
______________________________
Brad tells us that both Maryam Abachas
have been e-mailing him daily. They always say they can't comply
with his dental records request because they don't have a copier
or scanner. Each says she's unable to do anything because she's
under house arrest, her every move monitored by dozens of security
personnel (who of course never catch her at the computer). Brad
always says they must comply. Brad has refrained from passing
these exchanges along to us because of their repetitiveness.
Finally he received one worthy of posting due to its "boiling
my heart" and "if you are in my shoe" comments...

ATTN: MR BRAD,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ON YOUR KIND AND URGENT
REPLY TO
MY MAIL. HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU ANF YOUR FAMILY.
HOWEVER, YOU DON'T HAVE TO QUSETION MY SINCERITY
AT
ALL, BECAUSE THE WAY AND MANNER YOU ARE TREATING ME SO
BAD IN THIS TRANSACTION HAS STARTED BOILING MY HEART.
AS A MATTER OF FACT,LIKE I SAID EARLIER, I DO NOT HAVE
SUCH EQUIPEMTS TO GET YOU WHAT YOU REQUIRED FROM ME
AND THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT DO NOT ALLOW FRIENDS AND
RELATIVES TO COME CLOSER TO US, THE ONLY PEOPLE I KNEW
THAT IS CLOSER TO ME NOW IS THE SECURITY PERSONEL WHO
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN USING TO MONITORE ALL
OUR MOVEMENTS. HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WAHT WE ARE
DOING REQUIRES UTMOST SECRECY AND CONFIDENTIALITY.
I DON'T HAVE A SCANNER AS YOU REQUIRES, THAT
IS WHY I
REQUIRES YOU TO SEND ME ONE SO THAT I CAN EASILY AND
URGENTLY GET YOU THE DENTAL RECORDS YOU ARE WAITING
FOR.I AM THE REAL MARYAM ABACHA WHICH THE WHOLE WORLD
KNOWS, IF YOU ARE DOUBTING ME, HOPE YOU HAVE THE
PICTURE I SENT TO YOU LAST TIME, PLEASE KINDLY GO TO
ANY BODY WHOM YOU KNOW THAT KNOWS ME AND VERIFY FROM
THE PERSON IF THE PICTURE I SENT TO YOU IS NOT MINE.
I REQUIRE THAT YOU TAKE YOURSELF TO BE IN POSITION
AND
YOU ARE FACING THIS KIND OF HORRIBLE TREATMENT FROM
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE INTERNATIONAL WORLD, IF
YOU ARE IN MY SHOE, HOW WILL YOU FEEL?, REMEMBER THAT
WE ARE HUMANBEINGS, I WILL LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT
IF YOU ARE HAPPY TODAY, TOMORROW IT MIGHT BE ANOTHER
PERSONS TURN TO BE HAPPY. I WILL SAY IT AGAIN, I DON'T
HAVE A SCANNER NEITHER DO I HAVE A PHOTOCOPYING
MACHINE AT MT REACH FOR NOW, BECAUSE WE ARE BEEN
SUBJECTED UNDER HOUSE ARREST, SENCONDLY ALL FAMILY AND
CLOSE FRIENDS DO NOT COME TO VISIT US WHICH IS THE
ORDER BEEN GIVEN TO THE SECURITY PERSONEL MONITORING
US THE BY THE NIGERIA GOVERNMENT.
PLEASE GO TO ANYBODY, IF THEY TOLD YOU THAT
THE
PICTURE YOU HAVE WITH YOU IS NOT MRS MARYAM ABACHA'S
PICTURE, PLEASE KINDLY TEAR THE PICTURE AND DO NOT
CONTACT ME AGAIN IN THIS VENTURE OK. THAT IS ALL I
HAVE WITH ME TO SEND TO YOU, LIKE I SAID, IF YOU STILL
REQUIRE TO SEE ONE OF THE PICTURE I TOOK WITH MY ELDER
SON MOHAMMED DURING HIS WEDDING, I WILL URGENTLY SEND
YOU A COPY.
YOU SHOULD UNDERSTAND THAT I HAVE BEEN TELLING
YOU
TIMES WITHOUT NUMBER TO ERASE EVERY NEGATIVITY THOUGHT
IN YOUR MIND, AS I AM THE ONLY BUT ONE MARYAM ABACHA
THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS, TAKE MY PICTURE AS AN
IDENTIFICATION TO ANY WHERE AND THEY WILL INDENTIFY ME
AS THE REAL MARYAM ABACHA, REMEMBER THAT I MARRIED A
WORLD KNOWN WEALTHY MAN OF WHICH YOU, MY HUSBAND IS
BEEN RANKED AMONG THE TOP TEN WORLD RICHEST MEN, SO I
DON'T SEE THE REASON WHY I WILL START BEGGING YOU TO
ASSIST ME AS IF I AM A BEGGER, WHY?, A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE LOOKING FOR THIS KIND OF OPPORTUNITY BUT COULD NOT
SEE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS I AWAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY.
YOURS SINCERELY,
MRS ABACHA.
(MY BEST)
______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I am not treating you badly. I have made only a reasonable request
for a photocopy or closeup photo of your teeth. Once you comply
with the simple dental records requirement I will know you are
the one true Maryam and we can immediately proceed with our transaction.
I must run now. The surgery on Tom Cruise is scheduled for tomorrow
and there are many preparations to be made. I've just been paged
by my assistant who is in the marshlands searching for a proper
donor. Hopefully he has located a stork youthful enough to endure
the operation.

ATTN: MR BRAD,
THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL, HOWEVER, I WILL LIKE TO
INFORM
YOU THAT I DID NOT REFUSE TO SEND YOU THE REQUIRE
INFORMATIONS, BUT THE PROBLEM NOW IS THAT I DO NOT
HAVE ANY OF THE MACHINE OF WHICH I NEEDED TO GET YOU
THE DENTAL RECORD, SO HOW ARE WE GOING TO DO IT NOW, I
REQUESTED YOU TO SEND ME A MICHINE WHICH I CAN EASILY
USE TO GET YOUR REQUIRMENTS. MY HOUSE ARREST
CONDITION DO NOT PERMIT ME TO MOVE AROUND OR ALLOWING
FAMILY FRIENDS AND WELL WISHERS TO COME AROUND AS WE

INTELIGENT SECURITY PERSONEL WHO DO NOT HAVE RESPECT
FOR ANY BODY.
ALL MY IDENTIFICATION HAVE BEEN FORWARDED TO
YOU
EARLIER OF WHICH I DO NOT SUPPOSED TO DISCLOSE TO YOU,
BUT BASED ON THE FACT THAT I SEE YOU AS A GOD SENT TO
COME AND RESCUE ME OUT OF MY PRESENT PREDICAMENTS,
THAT IS THE REASON WHY I CHOOSES TO DISCLOSE MY

INFORMATION ABOUT MYSELF WHICH I HAVE SENT TO YOU,
HOWEVER I MUST SAY IT AGAIN, IF YOU REAALLY NEED THE
DENTAL RECORD I WILL ADVISE THAT YOU URGENTLY SEND ME

WHOLE WORLD KNOWS. YOU CAN ALSO TAKE MY PICTURE TO
ANYWHERE AND INNESTIGATE IF I AM THE ONE IN THAT
PICTURE OR NOT, THAT ALSO WILL PROVE YOU WRONG.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS I AWAIT YOUR KIND AND
URGENT
RESPONSE.
YOURS SINCERRLY,
MRS ABACHA.

Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I am a patient man and will wait as long as it takes for you
to send along your dental records. It would be nice if you acted
promptly, however, because I now have a full week free for travel.
This morning the surgery on Tom Cruise went extremely well and
he now is nearly normal in height, thanks to the replacement of
the lower section of his legs with those of a stork. Fortunately
we were able to retain Mr. Cruise's feet in a tricky reattachment
procedure.
Unfortunately, however, the stork did not pull through. It expired
at 7:31 a.m. after its body rejected the transplant of Mr. Cruise's
legs. Funeral services are pending. The attached photo already
has been sent to the obituary editor of the Journal of the American
Medical Association.. Overwhelming sadness hangs like a pall over
the marsh today.
Regarding Mr. Cruise, the operation obviously will require a
number of lifestyle and professional modifications. He may no
longer accept roles in which he is must wear shorts or swimming
trunks. He also may not appear in nude scenes, but this may be
a tremendous blessing considering the reviews for "Eyes Wide
Shut."
On a personal level, Mr. Cruise is contemplating another surgery.
He feels the leg operation has left another appendage seriously
out of proportion. I must agree because during the operation,
when Mr. Cruise was sedated, the nursing staff could not contain
its laughter.
Regarding Mr. Cruise's former lower legs, they have been secured
in Reynolds Wrap and stowed in the freezer. We are in the process
of selecting a recipient. At this point, Gary Coleman is tops
on the list. Poor man hasn't grown an inch since 1986 when Diff'rent
Strokes was cancelled.

I HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL, BUT
BASED
ON THE FACT THAT YOU REQUESTED ME TO SEND YOU COPY OF
MY PICTURE WHERE YOU CAN EQUALLY SEE MY DENTAL RECORD.
ATTACHED HERE IS A COPY OF MY PICTURE WHERE I WAS
LAUGHING AND YOU CAN ALSO SEE MY BEAUTIFUL TEETHS
WHERE I WAS SMILING.
I NOW STRONGLY BELEIVED THAT WE CAN GO AHEAD

CONCLUDE THIS TRANSACTION SINCE I HAVE SENT YOUR
REQUIREMENT TO YOU BASED ON YOUR REQUEST THAT I SHOULD
SEND YOU A COPY OF MY PICTURE WHERE I AM SMILING TO
ENABLE YOU SEE MY TOOTH OR MY DENTAL RECORD. I SO MUCH
THANK GOD THAT I HAVE FINALLY GET YOU THE PICTURE YOU
REQUESTED.
HOWEVER, I WILL ADVISE THAT YOU GO AHEAD AND
RECONFIRM
TO ME WHEN YOU WILL BE LEAVING FOR AMSTERDAM TO PICK
UP THE CONSIGNMENT AS I BELEIVE THAT THERE IS NOTHING
MORE THAT WILL DELAY YOU AGAIN FROM TRAVELING TO
AMTERDAM HOLLAND TO PICK UP THE CONSIGNMENT. AS A
MATTER OF FACT, I WILL URGENTLY ADVISE MY ATTORNEY
BARRISTER PATRICK ADAMS TO START PROCESING TO MEET UP
WITH YOU IN AMSTERDAM.
I HEREBY ADVISE THAT AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVED
THE
ATTACHED PICTURE, YOU SHOULD NOT HESITATE TO GET ME
INFORMED THAT YOU HAVE RECEIVED THE PICTURE. PLEASE
KINDLY DOWNLOAD THIS PICTURE IN YOUR DESKTOP SO THAT
YOU CAN SEE MY TOOTH CLEARLY AS YOU REQUESTED.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE.
YOURS SINCERELY,
MRS ABACHA.

______________________________
I am sorry Maryam, but this simply will not do. This isn't a
closeup at all, and the individual teeth are unrecognizable. It
would be impossible for the international advocacy group Hygienists
United Againt Placque to confirm this is the real Mrs. Abacha.
In fact, I would be embarrassed to send the photo to HUAP. Certainly
you can do better.

REQUIRED
INFORMATION YOU REQUESTED FOR, SO PLEASE YOU SHOULD
KINDLY LET ME KNOW WHEN YOU WILL BE TRAVELLING TO
AMSTERDAM TO ENABLE MY ATTORNEY FORWARD TO YOU ALL THE
NECESSARY REQUIRED DOCUMENTS YOU WILL BE TRAVELLING
WITH TO AMSTERDAM.
FURTHERMORE, YOU SHOULD HAVE IT IN MIND THAT
I WILL
NOT BE BE IN THE POSITION TO PRODUCE ANY OTHER OF MY
IDENTIFICATION TO YOU SINCE I HAVE FIND OUT THAT YOU
ARE NOT A SERIOUS HUMANBEING TO DO BUSINESS WITH. HOW
THERE ON EARTH WILL YOU REJECT THE LAST PICTURE I SENT
TO YOU YESTERDAY IN RESPECT OF YOUR REQUIREMENTS. THE
PICTURE I SENT TO YOU WAS EXACTLY WHAT YOU REQUESTED,
BUT NOW YOU HAVE TURN ROUND AGAIN TO BRING ANOTHER
EXCUSES, TELLING ME THAT THE PICTURE I SENT WAS NOT OK
TO COMPARE TO WHAT YOU REQUESTED FOR, DIDN'T YOU SEE
MY TOOTHS?, THAT WAS THE REASON WHY I INSTRUCTED YOU
TO DOWNLOAD THE PICTURE IN YOUR DESKTOP SO THAT YOU
WILL BE ABLE TO SEE MY DENTAL RECORD CLEARLY.
INFACT, LET ME TELL YOU ONE THING YOU DO NOT
UNDERSTAND, I AM SEEK AND TIRED OF ALL THESE YOUR HIDE
AND SEEK GAME WHICH YOU ARE PLAYING TOWARDS THIS
TRANSACTION. LOOK LET ME TELL YOU, IF YOU KNOW REALLY
KNOW THAT YOU ARE NO MORE INTERESTED TO ASSIST ME, I
THINK IS BETTER YOU LET ME KNOW IN TIME THAN USING
DIFFERENT KIND OF EXCUSES TO PURNISH ME.
THAT PICTURE I SENT TO YOU IS ALL I HAVE FOR
NOW AND
IF YOU ARE SO WILLING TO HAVE THE DENTAL RECORD ON YOU
SATISFACTION, WELL I WILL ADVISE THAT IT IS BETTER YOU
URGENTLY SEND ME A SCANNER OR PHOTOCOPYING MACHINE AS
YOU INSTRUCTED SO THAT I CAN GET YOU THE DENTAL RECORD
OK. SO THE BALL IS IN YOUR COURT NOW, IF YOU KNOW HOW
TO PLAY, YOU PLAY IT VERY WELL, I WILL NOT COMMENT ON
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AGAIN.
REMEMBER THAT I AM WIDOW WHO IS STILL UNDER
HOUSE
ARREST CONDITION SEEKING FOR HELP. HOWEVER, I WILL
LIKE YOU TO UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE TREATING ME BAD
AND GOD IS NOT HAPPY ABOUT THAT AFTER I HAVE FINALLY
SENT YOU THE INFORMATION YOU REQUIRES. IF YOU KNOW
THAT YOU ARE READY TO FOR GOOD BUSINESS, YOU BETTER
LET ME KNOW, BECAUSE I CANNOT CONTINUE TO BEGG YOU TO
DO SOMETHING YOU KNOW THAT YOU ARE GOING TO BENEFIT
FROM OK. MY ATTORNEY WAS EVEN TELLING ME TO GIVE HIM
THE POWER OF ATORNEY TO LOOK FOR AN BETTER AND SERIOUS
INVESTOR AFTER YOU FAIL TO MEET UP WITH HIM IN ACCRA
GHANA.
FINALLY, I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE MANNER AND
THE WAY
YOU ARE TREATING ME AND THE WHOLE OF THIS TRANSACTION,
FIRST OF ALL I LOOK AT YOU AS A SERIOUS INVESTOR OF
WHICH MADE ME TO IDENTIFY MY IDENTIFICATIONS TO YOU.
SO YOU CA SEE HOW LUCKY YOU ARE TO MEET UP WITH
SOMEBODY LIKE ME MRS ABACHA. I AM THE ONLY MRS ABACHA
THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS, SO IF YOU ARE NOT SATISFIDE
WITH ALL THE IDENTIFICATIONS I HAVE SENT TO YOU, I
WILL ADVISE THAT YOU LET ME KNOW IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE I
CANNOT DO ANY OTHER THINGS IN THAT ASPECT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AS I AWAIT YOUR URGENT REPLY.
YOURS SINCERELY,
MRS ABACHA.

______________________________
Dear Mrs. Abacha:
I continue to be extremely interested in our business transaction,
but you must prove you are really Maryam Abacha, something you
have been unable or unwilling to do. Only a fool would accept
the photo you sent as a dental record, and generally speaking
I am no fool. You must either e-mail a CLOSEUP PHOTO OF YOUR MOUTH
or fax a PHOTOCOPY OF YOUR TEETH to me.
We have a few days for you to do this, for Britney Spears has
undergone an emergency recall for further brain work. Last week,
Britney's agent wanted to display his client's newfound ability
to count and form complete sentences so he dispatched her to the
Sundance Film Festival. According to plan, she was to mingle with
the Hollywood intelligentsia and make quite an impression. Well,
something went wrong. Dreadfully wrong.
She caused quite a stir by getting up in the middle of movies
and filing out with her large entourage in tow. Asked why she
walked out of the screening of "The Singing Detective,"
Britney said, "Sundance is weird. The movies are weird. You
actually have to think about them when you watch them."
Well, what can I say? As her surgeon, I feel responsible for
this setback. I thought Homer Simpson's brain would be a perfect
match. But I failed to give proper credence to reams of medical
literature indicating frequent difficulties when using animated
subjects. I am confident I can get Britney back on track with
a transplanted brain from a non-animated subject. A new donor
has been secured (see photo) and its medical-release papers signed.
Surgery is set for Friday. Wish us luck.
Brad Christensen
