This is my first attempt at trying to get a mugu to go on Safari. Unfortunately, I didn't keep the lad's initial e-mail, but it's the standard dead bank customer gig. So we have in the blue trunks - Sir Mark Time and in the red underdirts, it's John Paul!

Sir,

Perhaps this has been sent to me in error.I have been known to assist others in dire need in the past so perhaps my reputation has preceeded me in this instance.

Regardless, please contact me immediately to reassure me that this is not some form of cheap chicanery designed to rob me blind.

I await your reply,

John,

You may put your mind at ease. After 35 years of being in business, I know a thing or two about confidentiality. I'm more than willing to impart a little biographical information about myself. My name, as you already know is Sir Mark Time. I'm currenly 67 years of age and sadly have been a widower for the past 12 years. My dear wife passed away suddenly from an aggressive form of bowel cancer. I am currently the Chairman of Blue Sky Mines NL, and I have been involved in mining in one form or another for the last 27 years.

I have enclosed a copy of the application as per your request. At this point in time only the two of us know about this deal, but it may be necessary for me to seek legal advice from our corporate counsel, Leo Liability. However, we'll see how things transpire here before we get to that point.

I await your reply,

Sir Mark Time

I knocked up a quick next of kin application letter. The only thing of interest is the standard red seal of integrity Razz

I suspect he'll be wanting his $10k back during this, but so far I'm his new best mate.

Subject: Re: info
To: "john paul" <[email protected]>
John,

I have attempted to contact you on the number below, but I have been unsuccessful. This $10,000 you paid the lawyer seems excessive. What on earth was it for? Be careful with lawyers - they will rob you blind given the first opportunity. If I had known about this, I could have negotiated a far suprerior rate. In my estimation the whole exercise should have cost no more than $1,000, but what's done is done.

I'll be out inspecting our newest mine site today and tomorrow and may not be available, but time will tell.

Note the name and location for the WUXfer. I'm willing to bet my share of the imaginary millions that's our lad's real name. At the very least, it's someone who has been either coerced into getting the $ or who is in on the scam. Let's string this out a bit.

I wanted to yank his chain for a bit, but perhaps another potential victim complained to yahoo and had his account shut down. I'll add these anyway.

Subject: Re: Reminder and send the $1,250
To: "john paul" <[email protected]>
John,

I have received your instructions, but I am a little concerned about the name you have mentioned for the transfer of funds. Who is this new person? I'm worried that too many people are getting involved in this now, and this can only lead to problems in the future. Please have MR CHIGOZIE AGADA contact me to reassure me about the security of this transaction. I was expecting that the WU transfer would be made out in your name.

I await clarification on this.

Subject: Re: contact me urgently with the western union detail
To: "john paul" <[email protected]>
John,

I am still confused about the name of the western union recipient. I was expecing it to be your good self. Please call to clear this up

In the end I gave him a quick call to test my hot recorder setup, mainly. Seems this genius was able to get a new yahoo account, but whatever victims he had on the go he probably lost. Just guessing here. Anyway, you can listen to the convo here

Seems Johnnie's still on the ball after all! And I thought this bait was dead! He sent that email to me three times. Any doubts it's the same clown were immediately dispelled.

Subject: Re: contact me urgently

John,

This is to confirm that I have indeed received your
e-mail message. I will provide the Western Union
details as quickly as possible.

Oh no! I can't do the WUXfer! There are forms to fill out, Johnnie!

Subject: Re: contact me urgently
To: "john paul22" <[email protected]>

John,

I have just been to the Western Union office, and I
need your assistance here.

Due to the terrorist acts of September 11, Western
Union has implemented additional checks for all money
transfers out of the country. The clerk informed me
that there are some forms that the RECIPIENT (you)
needs to complete before they will allow any transfer
to take place. I started to fill them out myself, but
the clerk told me that I cannot do so. Therefore, I
enclose the following 4 pages of information that you
need to provide before we can continue. Please return
the completed forms as quickly as possible. Time is of
the essence!

I attach the standard WU security forms. Johnnie's not to keen on this idea and suggests I do it for him. I decide to head him off at the MG pass.

yours sincerely
mr john paul

Subject: Re: contact me urgently
To: "john paul22" <[email protected]>

John,

I have just been to the Money Gram office, and they
have told me pretty much the same thing as the Western
Union clerk. Again, I tried to complete the form for
you, but I was told that if I did this, it would delay
the whole transfer. I'm sorry, but this is beyond my
power to influence here. I haven't used MoneyGram
before so I can only assume that the quickest way to
effect payment is to follow their procedure.

I will attach the MoneyGram form to this e-mail, and I
await your reply.

Subject: Re: contact me urgently
To: "john paul22" <[email protected]>

John,

I think the Money Gram modality will be easier.
Accordingly, I have replied to your first e-mail with
that in mind. If all else fails, just print out and
complete the WU forms, and hopefully they won't notice
the difference.

Feel free to contact me on +1 360 283 5236 if you have
any concerns.

Let's see if I can send him on a nice Safari. If I'm right, he's in Enugu. Now the nearest MG office is in Lagos (480km), right? Laughing

Johnnie's still having printer problems apparently.

Subject: Re: contact me urgently
To: "john paul22" <[email protected]>

John,

This has me puzzled. The modalities with Western Union
are somewhat new for me so perhaps I didn't realise
that was required. Nevertheless, I have arranged for a
Money Gram payment to take place. It could be that the
transfer number I provided was for that instead of
Western Union.

Subject: Re: contact me urgently
To: "john paul22" <[email protected]>

John,

I've realised what has happened. In my haste and
confusion to send the money, I ended up travelling to
the Money Gram office instead of Western Union. The
control number should work with Money Gram. I have
made arrangements for the Money Gram transfer to be
made through the following agent in Lagos. I trust
this isn't too far for you.

EQUATORIAL TRUST BANK
50 51 ALABA INTL MKT RD
LAGOS, NIGERIA.

Please keep me informed of your progress. The staff at
the Money Gram office have informed me that the funds
need to be collected within 72 hours or the transfer
will be declared null and void.

So the stage is all set. Will John return from Safari empty handed? Will I finally get my first ever voodoo curse and death threat?
