I've got an inheritance lad whose solution for my lack of WU, moneygram, etc. is to stuff the cash in an envelope and send it FedEx. Bizarre.

Of course, that sort of thing is illegal in the US. Money laundering and all that. A bank transfer is in his future.

It is a great opportunity for a Safari. I got my Hell Safari trio through cash sent via a courier, which always got inspected and held at a mail depot requiring much travel.

His first demand is for $450, so yeah, it might fly. I suspect it'll get sent to the wrong town.

Ah, got you. To have a better chance of getting a Lad to travel across W Africa, you'd need to find a way to bump up the amount. I'd suggest at least $5000 USD.

Okay, now it's getting weird.

Lad: Good morning my dear how are you doing today I hope all is well with you, well my dear friend I do send you an email yesterday with my Gmail account I told you that you should send the money through FedEx today. But don’t send a check I don’t like a check I will appreciate you put the money in envelope and post it through FedEx today please try and do that once you walk up from bed this morning, please I will be much glad and appreciated if you do that this morning and email me the FedEx tracking code okay.

Thank you so much my pleasure to hear from you back once you return from the FedEx quarters, you should use the information that I sent to you yesterday and post the fee through FedEx this morning okay
Here is the information again below to avoid mistake.

Me: I answered you. Sending cash in an envelope is a terrible idea. It's certainly not safe and I'm pretty sure it's illegal.

Lad: I said you should fine something like gift and put the money into it and post it together with it, something like perfume you rape it with the envelope I don’t like check so do it that way. It will work someone has done it that way for me before you can even post the cash like that with envelope go and do it now and email me the tracking code ok

Me: You mean sneak it in a gift? That's breaking the law and I'm not going to do that. How can you even suggest that if you work for moneygram?

That doesn't make any sense at all.

Lad: Yes I work for money gram but the reason why I suggest that is because you said you don’t have, money gram office in your country not even western union so that’s why I suggested you should post the money. Through FedEx office I use to receive raw money from FedEx office I have a brother outside who use to send money through there to me you will just put the money in envelope and post it through there simply

Me: I told you I wouldn't do that. It's not safe and there's no way to be sure where the money went. When I buy things from Oahu I just send the money from my bank account to the store's bank account. Why can't we do that?

I fell off the world into bizarro land...

Maybe he's had bank accounts shut down before and is wary of bank transfers. If he's put a lot of effort into it now, just keep dangling the prize and hopefully he'll come to see things your way.

Forget FedEx, send it via A.R.S.E air freight. Guaranteed to deliver the package to the lads nearest airport depot ( pending bad weather, aircraft technical problems or emergency security diversions of course ) Smile
