For 6 weeks Mbano has been crying me a river.
He and his sister are poor refugees at the Bujumbura Refugee Camp.
His mom is in a hospital in Tamala.
They also have use of the internet as well as mobile phones inside the camp.
I'm sure there is a pool as well.

The real Bujumbura camp is NOWHERE near the IP address my Lad was using. My Lad is in downtown Accra.
He of course was the son of a wealthy king type guy and had some money in a trunk box in Ghana.
The trunk box moved to North Carolina magically.
While awaiting the diplomat to contact me, I thought it would be nice to send my Lad some needed Christmas money and gifts.
I sent them directly to the Bujumbura Refugee Camp via my charity organizations connections.
I told my Lad to visit the UN director of the camp in his office and receive the surprises.
My Lad was really expecting the gifts via UPS in Accra and the money via WU.

Dear Mbano Wanaga,

I received a call from Mr. Andr3as Kirch0f of the UN. He stated
that he found you and your sister inside the camp. He stated that
you and your sister were extremely happy to receive the US$5,000 in
aid. He also stated that you were immediately airlifted by
helicopter to Tamala to visit your mother in the hospital. He said
that the volunteers that traveled with you and your sister are
still trying to locate your mother in the Tamala hospitals. Her
disappearance is very unsettling.

He did mention that you and your sister had a wonderful Christmas
in the nice hotel in Tamala. I hope you enjoyed the gifts provided
by our organization. I'm sure the laptops were a nice surprise.
They were donated by Hewlett Packard, one of our corporate
sponsors. The mobile phones were a gift of Nokia. They are the
latest models that allow you to listen to your favourite MP music
files, watch videos, take pictures and send the pictures to your
friends. I am sure you were very pleased. Let's hope your mother
can be found soon but in the mean time enjoy the gifts and the
money.

Please be careful with the money. It may be all you have left in
the world.
We have not heard anything from the diplomat in North Carolina. Is
there a possibility that he disappeared with your money? It is a
lot of money to be put in the charge of anyone. That much money
can provide temptation to anyone.

Please let me know that you are well.
If you could send a short note of thanks to Hewlett Packard and
Nokia, I would love to forward the messages to them. They will be
extremely please to know that their donations went to a very good
cause.

Received just after Christmas...(must have been hell to know that others were enjoying your gifts.)

What a touching letter, It brought tears to my eyes. There are so many impostors. I think you should resend more gifts to your mugu.
Find a town 250 km from Accra to send the gifts. I am sure that there are plenty on missions.

Have the mugu write a letter to the companies explaining what happened to the gifts and have him beg for some replacements. Laughing

I am sure they will understand

The money was for his mothers hospital bills.
I informed him that his mother was missing.
The diplomat is supposedly in North Carolina waiting to deliver my trunk boxes.

I love that those very important priorities are not mentioned in the "tears of not happy tears" mail. The priority has become the impostors, laptops/mobile phones and more small money.
