^ Thank you. There's been some great help from NN and other members, so I can't take all the credit Smile

.

No phone call yet, but apparently Mrs. Bello has figured out how to fix the scanner on her own.

Dear Hank,

How do you do? I am sorry for the delay, this is the picture and thank you once again for helping me. Hope to hear from you soon, have a nice day and Godbless.

Regards,
Mrs. Bello

Unfortunately, Mr. Scorpio is out of town for the weekend, so she still might get a phone call from the IT department (plus I just love Frumpy's accent and his calls are great Laughing

)

Also, I don't see any "running" in that photo though . . . Twisted Evil

Excellent trophy, worf Very Happy

but please could you resize it.

The one on the far left looks to be asleep on his feet! I don't think he'll be running far...

The beauty of it is, with all those guymen gathered around, that's ten other Lads who are going to be royally pissed off with the main Lad.

Late breaking thought - that assumes he hasn't recruited ten guys off the street with a promise of (say) 500 Naira cash in hand (if that's the case, he's out of pocket aready...)

EXCELLENT WORF!!! Awesome picture. clapping

Here is a great example of team baitery and an original idea. Nice one worf.

I can't wait to see all the amended pictures and the actual run with more than 11 people. Although she did say they only raised $420. Which is pretty poor effort compared to yours, considering you said you'd match and double.

Nice Trophy pic, Worf! Laughing

Now, on to the banners, more pics, and a nice moving video of the run! Very Happy

Come to think of it Worf, where are the giant chicken costumes as well?

Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 9:20 pm

It´s a lovely trophy, a real wonderful one! Very Happy

Well....I have been trying to reach him/her since Friday at noon. Now it´s Sunday night, and I have heard the line "is either switched off or out of coverage area" more often than I´ve seen the 419Eater logo. Damn - I would really have loved to call him!
Better service next time Very Happy

Dear Hank,

How do you do? have you received the picture? i am expecting to hear from you soon. have great day.

Dear Mrs. Bello,

Apologies for not writing to you sooner, but I was in Gstaad. The powder is lovely this time of year.

Yes, I received the picture. I am quite happy to see that you figured out how to repair your scanner on your own, as Mr. Drax said he tried to call you several times and could not get through.

The picture . . . well, there does not seem to be anyone running in the picture. Gov. Pillock likes action shots. Could you perhaps stage a few more pictures of your participates as they run? That would be great!

Auf Wiedersehen,
Hank

If he sends me running pictures, I then plan to ask for more professional banners Wink

I hope they will have smily faces when they will be staging the running pics Smile

Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 4:27 pm

Well, they're not smiling yet Laughing

. In fact, the poor widow Bello seems slightly annoyed:

Quote:

Dear Hank,

You only told me to orgainse my neighbors for the fun run, and you did not tell me about any action picture Sir if you dont want to help me please let me know because i cant orgainze anything again.

regards
Mrs Bello

Quote:

Dear Mrs. Bello,

Of course I want to help you. I wouldn't have put on the fun run if I didn't want to help you.

I assumed that you would follow the same format as the pictures I sent you of our fun run. That is why I expected an action shot. Please take a look at the Globex fun run and try to emulate those pictures. Please hurry, because this must be done before tax season.

Sincerely,
Hank

Quote:

Dear Hank,

Mr. Hank with due respect I will like to know if you can assist me or not? Mr. Hank it is taking you ages to help me, you are given me conditions which you know i cant abide to, organizing another fun run cannot be possible again the Almighty God knows that i have done my possible best.

You initiated this fun run and i told you from the unset that it cant be possible here in Africa but you insisted. Please once again i will want to know if you are ready to assist me or not?

Please let me know as soon as possible.

Nice meeting you bye.

Regards,
Mrs. Bello

If there's one thing the ever cheerful Hank Scorpio hates, it's ingratitude.

Dear Mrs. Bello,

Please see my reply to your previous e-mail that you sent today.

Frankly, I'm a little disturbed by your tone. I know things are tough for you, but we here at Globex have taken on a huge undertaking in trying to help you. International transactions such as ours take time. We are working as quickly as we can to get the funds released, but we also need cooperation from your end as well. I appreciate that you are in a difficult situation, but Globex is trying to help you.

We have major work projects that have to be completed as well as helping you and your family. Why, just this morning Mr. Grant came into my office in a panic because he had not gotten his lektor yet. I had to calm him down and now I get these two e-mails from you, after all I have done to try to help you and the thousands of dollars I have raised. All I ask from you is just a little more cooperation in order for you to get your money for your family.

Sincerely,
Hank

Trophy Videos · Posted: Tue Nov 04, 2008 5:38 pm

Yeah, Hank wants more cooperation, and another fun run! Whee, this is fun, Worf! Laughing

Dear Hank,

Ok that is great but i will need your help, please can you send me $1,000 Dollars for logistics so that i can organize the fun run and have a good photo shots.

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,
Mrs. Belleo

NOTE:
Please i am sorry for the way i sound in my previous mail.

Oh Mrs. Bello, you're losing your touch . . . and your ability to spell your last name.

Hello Hank,

What is the matter now. try and help this woman if you really want to.

Frank.

Frankie,

I am trying to help, but you are not helping me by interfering. Let me help this woman, Frank. Please stop trying to help by interfering, because you are not helping.

Sincerely,
Hank

You can just taste the frustration. Worf, this lad/ette is well and truly hooked, and your baiting is superb. Give a little and take a lot. What you've done so far is great. Getting a picture and sign these days is always a sterling effort. Maybe if she can't organise another fun run we need an alternative, or at least a new angle.

Let the brain storming begin... (This means right now, I have nothing) Very Happy

Trophy Videos · Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 12:15 am

As if a few pictures of people running is so hard, NN. Especially after she has proven she has a camera, and a few semi-willing friends to be in the pics. You're a bit easy on letting Mrs. Bello off the hook. Wink

Posted: Thu Nov 06, 2008 1:00 am

Thanks NN

and thanks for all of your help too bow_down

I'm not sure either where to go with Mrs. Bello now. However, Frank is not in the good graces of Globex anymore.

That's one of the things I like most about this bait. One of my goals has been to get totally away from Frank's original investment bait and refocus the whole thing on Mrs. Bello.

I also love that Frank and Mrs. Bello are most probably the same person and at least in the same gang.

The best thing Frank ever did for me was to kill off the barrister character Laughing

Hey, here's an idea. Instead of doing a fun run, they can do a fun swim.
It's still hot in West Africa, so that shouldn't be too hard to get pics of.
Perhaps a fun volleyball or football game on video would be nice, too! As long as the people are smiling in the pics, videos, it's great publicity.
They have to be happy, as Globex is a happy company. Very Happy

Have I ever let a lad off the hook? Come on slap... it's me.

I think we're all keen to see the actual race, but Worf did get 11 wankers to pose, so I'm all for something a little more dignified. Something with class. Something like...

A) Jelly Wrestling for Barrister Bello

B) Interpretive dance - The Death Of Bello. A stirring dramatic representation of the fatal car accident, his rush to the hospital and the eventual death scene. Done to the haunting tunes of reed pipes.

C) Male revue - Donate your pants for Bello. 11 man dance troupe who strip for money! Some sort of public display of these gentlemen running about in their under wear to the soundtrack of Top Gun.

D) Tattooed for dollars - Globex will pay for tattoo advertising. Every lad with this tattoo, will make $12,000 to the Bello Charity.

E) Sacrificial Wicker Burning - Construct and burn a 4 metre wicker man - Releases the spirit of the cash to cleanse it's purpose (or some crap) - It's a charity event followed by a bonfire and BBQ.

F) Crumpets and high tea - A Lavish tea party for charity. Many guests bring a pot of tea and come confectionery to share. All participants pay a small fee to donate to the Bello Fund.

All or one of these would be good. Globex needs to prove the collection of these funds are for the purpose they were collected. If Globex can't prove it was for a charity event for Barrister Bello, then the funds will be seized by the IRS and Hank could be up for fraud charges.

I can not get any of the funds released now until the proper pictures are submitted. Pictures of people actually running. Action shots. I showed the banner picture to Gov. Pillock and he said it was not "proof" as far as he was concerned that a charity run actually took place.

Sincerely,
Hank

Dear Hank,

This is the picture, please i will like you to keep your promise.

Thanks,

Mrs. Bello

This is the picture, no need to resize it this time, here it is actual size.

Quote:

Dear Mrs. Bello,

Do you think you could send me a larger version of the picture? I can barely make out who is running. I hope it is the some of the same people as in the first picture you sent me. We notice those kind of things at Globex.

Attention to detail, that's the only way.

Sincerely,
Hank

I like the wicker man idea myself Laughing

What a BRILLIANT mind! He did not really think he could have you, err, Hank, on that easily, did he?

(yes, he did!) Very Happy

Dear Mrs. Bello,

I am beginning to get frustrated. What is so hard to understand? That picture is from too far away. It could be from anywhere. For all I know, it was grabbed off the internet. It will not pass muster. What did the photographer do, take it from a mountain or something?

I have to go out of town for the weekend and when I get back on Sunday, I expect to see some pictures of people actually running where I can see their faces. Better yet, have some people running while holding the Globex banner. That will be sufficient.

Sincerely,
Hank

Hank's getting pissed off. Don't make him get out his doomsday device Wink
