I thank you for your reply. Sir I want to know if time will permit you to come down to Ghana and see the gold with your two eyes and test it. Well I want you to know that my price for per a kilo is at sum of $21,000 but if you can be able to buy all the 150 kilos once I can reduce the price at sum of $20,000 for per a kilo.

Thanks and God bless you hoping to hear from you soon.

Dear Sir

I thank you for your reply.

Sir let me know whether time will permit you to come down to Ghana this week or not because i want to make sure i hand you over the 10 kilos of the gold this week because i need money to pay my school fees. That was the reason why i contacted the shipping agent to ship the 10 kilos of the gold to you. And $15,500 that the agent give us for the shipment is the amount that all the shipping agent in Ghana normally takes for the shipping of 10 kilos of gold.

Sir please if you cannot be able to come down to Ghana kindly provide me your contact receiving address so that i will forward to the shipping agent that will bring the 10 kilos of the gold to you. For him to get all the documents with your name because the agent told me that as soon as you provide your contact address that it will take him two days to ship the 10 kilos of the gold to you.and also i want you to send me your telephone number so that i can talk to you

Keen to travel and all that.
Just one thing, Old Boy
Need confirmation of the hotel, you understand
Golden Tulip
Stayed there before, you see
Absolutely spiffing hotel.
Good service and all that, By Jove!

Went to meet some lady in Ghana once, you see
Her brother met me and put me in a right old dump.
Didn't stay, you understand
The man was a bounder and a cad if he expected a man of my status to stay in the flea pit he chose for me!
He should have been horsewhipped from here to Putney Bridge for his impudence!
Went to the Golden Tulip.
Funny thing is, the brother didn't show next day and neither did his sister who I had been writing to.
Never heard from the lady again.
Most disappointing.

Phone number Old Man?
0751788XXX
(Incomplete number) Smile

Coverage not good where I live though, and Bader Hall has thick walls which affect signal strength.
You might not get through.
Try anyway, eh?
Can't even watch the cricket on the Beeb, blast it!
Have to use this 'Sky' nonsense.
Ruddy great dustbin lid hanging on the outside wall.
Ruins the look, you understand.
Sarah Jane Mee is rather nice though
Bet she's a bit of a goer, eh?

Once I get conformation of the hotel I'll get the flight sorted, Old Man

Bit of an insult that, you see.
If you can't be bothered to write out a new email, then I'd rather not hear from you.
I thought you were better than that, Old Boy.

Now.
My flight is as follows:
Alitalia 0844 arriving Kotoka at 22:10 Friday
Bit of a stop over in Rome on the way.
Not sure about the Eyeties, you understand.
Bunch of curly haired bottom pincher's, if you ask me.
Their tanks have 1 forward and 5 reverse gears you know.
Can't even brew tea properly.
Everyone South of Dover seems to drink that infernal coffee.
Ghastly stuff.

I expect the hotel website details by return Old Man
Incidentally, I plan to leave Ghana on 30/11 so will need 4 nights in this hotel
Kindly see to it, eh?

Can't get through on my number, eh?
Dashed awkward.
0044 for Blighty.

Incidentally, Old Chap
Need to know what you look like.
Haven't got a photo of you by any chance?
It wouldn't do to be met by the wrong person, eh?
Not with the $200,000 I'll be bringing with me.

Didn't hear from you by the deadline, Old Man
Couldn't take the chance on arriving in Ghana with nowhere to stay.
Got the impression you weren't too keen to sort out the accommodation, what?
Decided you're clearly not the chap I need in this venture
This sort of business needs a major player, you understand.
Not some small boi.

Had a torrid time in the airport as well.
The only food on offer was blasted pizza and pasta, By Jove!
No tea, either, only this ghastly coffee!
Disgraceful!
Then when I sat down there was no fork on the table
I told the waitress I wanted a fork on the table
She told me everybody want a fork
I told her she didn't understand - I wanted a fork on the table
Then the manager of the blasted restaurant threw me out for being rude, the bounder!
Well, I couldn't let that one lie, eh?
Gave them all a bit of a reminder, you understand
Tobruk and El Alamo, By Jove!
Things Got A Bit Heated, as the saying has it.
Manager of the airport was eventually called to calm everybody down.
And just because the staff can't prepare dining tables, By George!

Didn't realise these Wops were so sensitive.

Need to reassess your potential in this business, Old Man
I take it that you didn't go to meet me at the airport
Just as well I didn't fly to Ghana then, eh?

Email dated November 24th
If you read it I also stated that you might have problems getting through to me due to the thick walls of the Hall where I live.

Passport, Old Boy?
You didn't ask me for a passport until I was in the blasted airport!
Just how do you expect me to send you a copy of my passport from the airport?

May I remind YOU, sir, that I never received confirmation of my hotel.
Because you did not book the hotel did you, eh?
You expected me to make the effort to fly to Ghana, without even doing the decent thing by booking me a blasted hotel!
Very sloppy business operation if I may say so.

Argh, this punk is terrible to bait. Glad to see its not just poor technique on my part.

He's definitely impatient, so nice work keeping him hooked this long. I have him at 2 weeks too~ but he's still baitable for you, I think -- at least he's not sending curse filled emails at you all the time. Might I suggest a last-ditch offer to transfer him money via bank wire? This guy gave me a piggy, so I think its possible.

I think more or less the game's exhausted on my end.
