This is one of the first baits that I had ever done. For some reason, this mugu just stopped replying to me. To this day, I will never know why, but I thought that I had a good thing going. Please, everyone, feel free to post your replies. I don't care if it is good or bad. I am always open to suggestion. So here it is, the letters in their entirety. Although short, still pretty funny. Thanks again.

NECESSARY DETAILS AS TO HOW WE INTEND TO CARRY OUT THE WHOLE TRANSACTION.

Billy Lumberg:
Dear Barrister,
First off, I would just like to say thank you for letting me be involved in such a serious business endeavor. This could not have come at a more perfect time, as I have just recently found out that I have contracted a new strain, known only now as Pundit's Syndrome. The cause is unknown, but treatment can cost an arm and a leg- seriously. So I was absolutely ecstatic when you wrote me. Anyway, here is the information that you requested:

William Lumberg, Esq.
8612 Pocahotty Ave. Suite 187
Tellysavalis, CA
90219 USA
Phone Number: (206) 312-2762

As it stands right now, I am without a fax number. I work out of my house, and in order to receive faxes, I must go to the office, and it is not very private. I do require extreme confidentiality in our future dealings, I don't want anyone to know about this , except for you and I. So, I feel that we should be able to trust each other 100%. I am attaching a picture of myself, so you know what I look like. Please, when you reply, please attach a picture of yourself so I know what you look like. In future transmissions, we will get know a lot more about one another, but for right now I have to go. I am very busy doing a job that I do not like, but oh well, I work hard and get paid very well. Anyway, I look forward to your reply. God Bless You.

Dear >Billy Lumberg ,

Thanks for your mail, i have received the information you send to me, i
have forwarded it to the security and finance company,thanks.
regards,

Barrister Muas Bello.

Please i will like to hear from you now,

Billy Lumberg:
Dear Barrister Musa Bello,
How does this day find you? Well I hope. I have read the contents of your last email, and the contents were well noted. So exactly where do we go from here? I believe that in one of your prior emails you indicated that after you had received all of the information that you requested from me that you would send me the details of the finance in which the money is being held. And then I believe that you stated we could move forward from there, giving me power of attorney. I must admit, I have never experienced anything like this before, so please be gentile. This is a first time for me, especially with the power of attorney. So please, simply take me by the hand and guide me through. This will be an experience that hopefully neither of us will ever forget. I look forward to your response. Good Day and God Bless.
-Billy Lumberg

*Now he stops replying, so I try to stir the pot*

Billy Lumberg:

Dearest Bello,
I have yet to indulge in any reply to my last email. My Pundit's Syndrome is getting worse. It has similar symptoms to leprosy. For instance, the other night, I went to the bar with some friends from work, and I felt a weird sensation in my right shoulder. I turned to look at it, only to find a man dipping chips into it. So please reply as quickly as possible, because things could not be getting any worse for me. I have hospital bills out the ass, and I think that my wife is sleeping with my Aunt Faye. The two of them have been seeing a lot of each other lately, and when my wife comes home she has lipstick all over her neck and chest. She also smells of my Aunt Faye's cheap perfume, High Karate. So please, respond to my emails, I am more than ready to get this show on the road. I am looking forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Billy

Billy Lumberg:

God Day Barrister,
I write you this letter in much disappointment, as you have not responded to my emails in several days. This is highly discouraging. I was lead to believe that you are a man of integrity and professionalism. How dare you turn your back on the diseased man that you have given Power of Attorney! I was sitting here all weekend, with my Pundit's Syndrome, dreaming of the better life that you and I so much deserve. I dreamed that the two of us were sitting on a beach somewhere, (well me anyway, I don't know what you look like), sipping drinks from coconut shells. And then back to reality- 0 emails in my inbox from you. And to make matters worse, I was typing in my upset state, and I must have pushed the 'Enter' key too hard becuase, as sure as day, off with my pinky. Yes, the Pundit's Syndrome strikes again. I am beginning to think that I am the only one trying to make this work. I have sent you all of my info, and you have yet to reply, let alone even send me a picture. So from here, if this going to happen, I am requesting that you show me that you are a man of integrity. I want to see a picture of yourself holding a sign with my name on it. This way, I can be sure to trust you. If you would like to continue with me, please reply, but if not, at least have the common decency to reply and tell me so. This also shows integrity, which, as you can plainly see, goes a long way in my book. I may not be the richest man in the world, but I definitely do well enough to get by, and my credit is perfect. I am a man of my word, even if eventually my mouth falls off. Good day.
-Billy

*This ended about 4 weeks ago, and still no reply. I might just wait another month, and email him to see if he remembers me*

Sometimes the lads just twig for no reason. That's just the way it is. Perhaps they get suspicious, but perhaps the just find something more challenging to do. Like watching paint dry. Anyway, don't take it personal. Keep it up and find someone else to bait. Sometimes they dissappear and sometimes you just can't get rid of them.

who knows why he stopped replying. Maybe he died. Maybe he got arrested for something. Maybe he got some sucker to send him money and he didnt want to be bothered anymore. I myself have only gotten 2 trophy photos, and have been in a slump ever since. Too much overfishing, I think.
