Dear Brother Abba,

I appreciate your interest in our church and your willingness to do business with us. In our area there are many Mormons who consider us freaks, and our Pennsylvania sect has been threatened with Amish Jihad. If you are serious about doing business with us, we may like to open a branch of our church in your homeland.

I understand your desire to keep this deal secret between you and me, but the truth is that I have no money of my own. We live a life of poverty, giving all of our earthly possessions to the Church. For as it is written in the Book of Aqualung, Hymn 43:

Our father high in heaven-smile down upon your son.
who's busy with his money games - his woman and his gun.
Oh Jesus save me!

You see, we are forbidden to have money, women and guns...all money belongs to the Church and is to be used to do God's work. Accordingly, all money must be deposited into the account of the Church, and must have the approval of a Priest (titled "Father") or above. But do not worry; you can trust Father Guido.

I have only told two people (actually, wrote them notes, because we cannot speak) about this transaction: Father Guido, and Brother Ted. Brother Ted is our Keeper of Records. I* am the Communications Director, which is why it is my email address you contacted.

Here is the information you requested, with our full names and titles:

Brother Hannibal Lecter, Communications Director
Father Guido Sarducci, High Priest
Brother Ted Kaczynski, Keeper of Records
Church of the Holy Walrus
66 Abbey Road
Lincoln, Montana 59639

We are so excited about this money you wrote us about that Father Guido almost talked! But I honestly do not know if you will want to work with us; we have strict rules about people we deal with. They do not have to belong to our church, but they have to abide by certain rules.

Please also bear in mind that we live in a very rural area with no running water and are located miles from the nearest town. It takes us a long time to receive mail, so email is the preferred method of communication.

I await your next communication, Brother Abba.

I am the eggman,
They are the eggmen,
I am the Walrus

I wonder if he will ask about the burrito.

This guy can't possibly be reading anything I'm sending. Today I get an obvious form letter:

Brother Hannibal, naturally, is concerned, as you can see by this email with the subject line "SOS" (hopefully Abba will understand)...

Quote:

Brother Abba,

I received your email and very much want to get this money for the church, but I am concerned. The application asks for a "Swift Number," and I don't know what that is. I don't want to make a mistake, and I am not a banker or businessman like you; I am a simple man of God. Please tell me what this is, and I will have Brother Ted complete the form.

Also, the form asks for my phone and fax numbers. As I told you, we have no telephone here at the monastery; will this bank even do business with such a simple group as us? Take a chance on me, Brother Abba. Knowing me, knowing you, we can get this done. I will say the Prayer of the Holy Walrus six times for guidance, and Father Guido will say "Mamma Mia."

Bless you!

Complete the application and mail it so far it has the name of your bank with address of the bank and your account number.

Well, I sure don't want the church to miss out on all that money! I'd better do as he says:

Quote:

Brother Abba,
I have been praying for this opportunity for a long. long time. Do you have any idea what kind of good the church can do with this kind of money? I have a little bit of guilt, though.
You and I both know this Mr. Bunke was not my next of kin. Isn't this sort of like lying or stealing? Father Guido wrote me and said that no one would have claimed the money anyway, so the church may as well use it to help us spread the Word of the Holy Walrus and protect us from the persecution of the Mormons, who tempt us with their women although they know we are not allowed their flesh.
I trust Father Guido, but all the same, I wanted to know if you think it would be possible for us to establish a mission in Africa. Where are you located? And if you don't mind my asking, what faith do you follow? Father Guido is rather strict about the people with whom we do business, and has asked me if I thought you could possibly be "one of us." He says your name, "ABBA," is a sign from God that you, like the Dancing Queen of Sweden, are willing to help the Walrus.
Thank you for your guidance, ABBA. Save Me.

Good work Sudsman, you're fit to be an inhabitant of Dogland where absurdity reigns supreme. I hope you make him do something very degrading to prove his faith. Your bait has a surrealist edge to it where conventional norms break down and language means nothing. The lad is playing along because he doesn't know WTF and is hoping for a payday. But faith is more than a payday; faith is a red breast or a sign or inspecting one's bowels and reporting back to Dr. Keller.

An act of faith is needed: He has to believe before he can receive. And his belief has to take the form of action. It looks like you have teed him up splendidly for whatever amusing act of faith you have in store! Maybe it could involve covering himself in actual soap suds on his semi or totally naked body so that he will be a real sudsman.

The "bath of suds" could be the cleansing of baptism. Well, it would make for a great picture!

Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2004 3:11 pm

Thanks, J. Dog...I am humbled.

Believe me, degrading is exactly what I have in mind; however, I'm stringing him along slowly. I think I may have tried to set the hook prematurely in some of my other baits by asking for trophies too early in the process.

Funny how my previous "serious" baits as Dr. Lecter and Jed Clampett/Ron Jeremy have come up short, while the most absurd one (the lyrics to "I Am the Walrus," for Chrissakes) seems to have the guy eating out of my hand.

I think we're dealing with a very, VERY dim mugu...

Posted: Fri Jun 18, 2004 9:44 pm

Well, I have heard nothing since my last missive, so I'll leave him with a little something for the weekend...

Quote:

Brother Abba,

I have not heard back yet from the bank regarding my application. Do you think they will avoid doing business with us because we do not use telephones?

I hope I did not offend you by questioning the legality or morality of this transaction. It's just that I am a man of God who wants to do everything right in the name of the Carpenter and the Walrus. Father Guido has reassured me that everything is OK and the Church will do much good with these millions of dollars that otherwise would have gone unclaimed. He said Mr. Bunke would have wanted it that way.

Well, I must retreat for the weekend; I cannot do business on the Sabbath, and the Walrus insists that Saturdays be set aside for pleasure. He is much like the Buddha in that respect. Brother Ted and I have brewed quite a ferocious batch of ale for the weekend which we will drink in his honour. When one cannot have women, one must find fun elsewhere.

I think you would like our faith, Brother Abba. I look forward to hearing from you on Monday. As it is written in the Book of Jethro,

And the graven image you - know - who -
with His plastic crucifix -
he's got him fixed -
confuses me as to who and where and why -
as to how he gets his kicks.
Confessing to the endless sin -
the endless whining sounds.
You'll be praying till next Thursday to
all the gods that you can count.

Person. I decided to contact you because I believe you
Are a reputable & God fearing person that can help me
And my mother from our present predicament.
I count on your integrity and honesty to be able to
Handle this Business. My father, Mr.Arap Moi, was the
Former president of Kenya, In East Africa, during his
Reign as the president, he had so many Monetary
Dealing with a lot of European companies in my country
And out side my country, and he uses these companies
As a means of transferring funds to foreign accounts
In Europe America and Asia, all these funds where
Gotten from the sales of Gold and Diamonds, amongst

Which he uses as front for funds deposit, he made a

Brother Abba,

I got an email over the weekend from the bank; I didn't get it until just this morning when I finished my prayers. Here is what they wrote:

(Yes, this email really did come from the �bank�...)

"Sir,

We acknowledge receipt of your application, requesting for the telegraphic transfer for the total sum of US$55, 600,000 (Fifty-Five Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)only, from the account name, Burke Sean, Account number, 14-255-2004/utb/t into your overseas account stated in your application.

We are currently going through your claims and will be getting back to you shortly.

Thank you for banking with African development Bank (ADB).

Yours Faithfully,

I sure hope we are approved, Brother Abba. You don't think they will find out that I'm not really related to the deceased, do you? I would hate to get in trouble, and the church could really use this money.

Father Guido, Brother Ted and I will be saying the Prayer of the Holy Walrus until I hear from you again. Please pray with us.

which made him answer:

Quote:

Dear John Garstedt,

Thank you once again for your mail and I want you to know that I quite appriciate it and it will be of a great joy for me iof you can help me and my family get this money so that we can get back to life since our father and former President of kenya is no more and the government of today is not favouring the family and since my father moved some billions of dollars out of the country and tagging them as precious substance so it will not be tampard with by any body and also name from the presidency, all this that were been moved out of this country by my father are all money in hard currency and now that he is no more the government take some of his propert from us.

So my friend all I want you to do is just to stand onbehlf of me and my family to cleard this good from the security company and you will be well compensated at all and be well asure you have no risk involve in this transaction since I will be informing the company that you will be coming to clear our goods from them and I shall also forward to you all the document relating to this money so it will be easy for you to attended to, beside I will also need all your informations so that I can forward them to the company even before you arrive there and may they will even call you to know when you are coming.

I will be very pleased if you can do this form me and my family and like I say you will be well compensated or better still mail me your contact phone number so I can call you and expelain to you proper then I belieave you will understand better. I will expect to hear from you as soon as you get this mail.

Thank you once again.

I think it is wonderful, how easy it is to make this lad happy. I write "But how?" and he tells me that he "quiet appriciated" my mail. Laughing

I said I would ask for the american hard currency next; but I think that is too complicated. I dont want to wind him up with words. Maybe I could answer something like "Sure!". Or do you think "OK!" would be more appropriate?

Well, I�ve heard back from the bank...and guess what? I�m approved!!! I�d better write Dr. Abba with the good news; plus, I�m afraid I�m going to need his help!

Quote:

Brother Abba,

Praise the Walrus, we have been approved by the bank! Here is a copy of the email from Mrs. Nkoto:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sir,

You are hereby informed that your request for telegraphic transfer has been approved as attached.
However ,you are advised to provide the following documents upon which reception the bank will remmit your fund to your account designate.

The Documents are as follow:

1.A sworn affidavit of fact sworn to at the Federal High Court of South Africa
2.The photocopy of the identification pages of your International Passport or driver's license.
3.The Death Certificate of Mr.Bunke Sean.
4.A mandatory Fund Release order fee of $8,788.55

Hence,we await your response before remittance of the fund commences.

Sincerely,

Susan Makebe Nkoto(Mrs.)
Head,Foreign Remmittance Office.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Brother Abba, I don't know what to do. How can I get an affidavit of fact?

Also, I do not have a passport or a driver's license. I never leave the monastery, and have not renewed my license since I was at university.

I have no death certificate.

The fee should not be a problem; I will contact Father Guido about releasing the fee from church funds.

Please advise as to the rest of these demands; I don't think we will be able to do this. You're a businessman; please help!

In the name of the Walrus and the Carpenter Jesus,

Goo goo g'joob!

Brother Hannibal

Posted: Tue Jun 22, 2004 1:55 pm

Yay!!! I've been approved!!!

The following email came with the subject "Congrat!":

Quote:

Dear Friend,

I am delighted to hear that the bank has finally confirmed your
claim and also approved your request for the transfer of the
money into your account.Accept my congratulations for this
success and particularly for following my instructions.

The bank demanded you must produce the following documents:

1.A court affidavit.
2.Death certificate of Mr.Bunke Sean
3.Photocopy of your Passport or Drivers' License.
4.Fund Release order amount which is mandatory.

I will go to the hospital where Mr.Bunke Sean died right
away to get his Death Certificate .I will do everything humanly
possible to get the death certificate even if requires spending
money.I know that at most I will give tips to someone for the
death certificate. I will send it to you as soon as I get it
from the hospital.

The affidavit is sworn to at the Federal High Court of South Africa.
The bank accepts only affidavit sworn to in South Africa because the
transaction was operated in South Africa. In this country, it is only
lawyers that can swear an affidavit .I shall send to you the
contact of a lawyer that would assist you in getting the court
affidavit.Since you are not comming to this country he could
equally represent you in signing the Fund Release Order at the
bank.I will send to you the contact of an accredited lawyer to
the bank as soon as I get his phone number and contact email
address but that will have to be after I get the death
certificate.I think the bank's accreditted lawyer is better in
order not to attract so much attention.

Either a photocopy of the first two pages of your International
passport or drivers' license would be okay. When you get all of
the three documents ready send them to the bank and the fund
would be released for transfer.The photocopied passport is only a
routine exercise for proper identification of the beneficialy.

Meanwhile I shall get back to you with the lawyer's contact as
soon as I get the Death Certificate.
Nevertheless,could you send to me a scanned picture of yourself
so that I can know the person I am dealing with.

Best Wishes,
Dr.Abba Gana

This is monumental news...but there could be a problem:

Quote:

Dear Brother Abba,

Praise God, the Carpenter Jesus and the Holy Walrus of Tull!! It is fantastic news that we have been approved. Our church can do much great work with this money, and we thank you for bringing us this opportunity. I do have some concerns, however. Let's go over the items we need:

1.A court affidavit.
You said you can get an attorney to acquire this. No problem.

2.Death certificate of Mr.Bunke Sean
You said you can get this. Excellent.

3.Photocopy of your Passport or Drivers' License.
This is a problem. As I wrote to you, I have not renewed my driver's license since I was just out of college many years ago. I never leave the monastery and I have no car; therefore I have no driver's license and no passport. I will work on getting you a photo of myself as soon as possible, but I have no official identification of that nature.

4.Fund Release order amount which is mandatory.
This can be achieved. I can have Brother Ted Kaczynski draw up the release order and submit it to Father Guido Sarducci for approval. Father Guido says that the money will be no problem as long as the transaction complies with Church policy.

In order to release money from Church funds, the recipient must be a confirmed member of the Church of the Holy Walrus. You do not have to be ordained as a minister, but you must be baptized into the church. This is a fairly simple procedure.

If the recipient of church funds is not a member of the Church of the Holy Walrus, a clearance fee may be submitted to the Treasury in order to release the funds. The Treasurer will notify Father Guido, and then the funds can be released.

The Church would be honored to have you as a member, Brother Abba; perhaps we could start a branch right there in South Africa. If you do not wish to join our church, I understand...but then you would have to pay the fund clearance fee for non-members.

Please advise me as to what we should do next.

Regards,

Brother Hannibal Lecter

So here's what I get from Abba...

Dear friend,
Today I got the death certificate from the hospital where
Mr.Bunke Sean died.I am attaching it to you together with

affidavit of fact.Please do not mention my name to the lawyer
because of my position in the bank.Tell him that you are having
some money at the African Developement Bank Plc which you want to
transfer to your country,that the bank requires that you must
provide the affidavit before the transfer can be effected and
that because of your inability to come to South Africa,you would want
him to swear the affidavit on your behalf and equally represent
you at the bank in signing vital transfer documents on your
behalf.Ask him his condition of service.
Note that the lawyer is an accreditted lawyer to the bank and
pleae do not mention my name to him.Tell him also that you got
his contract from the bank.
His name and contact addresses are as follows:

Dear Barrister West Uzondu,

I am writing with regard to my deceased next of kin, Mr. Sean Burke. He left a tidy sum of money at the African Development Bank Plc which I am having transferred to my country by the grace of the Holy Walrus and Jesus the Carpenter.

Before I can get the money, however, I need a sworn affidavit; and since I am not allowed to swear in South Africa I would like to ask you to do it for me. I received your contact from the bank, and they have the utmost confidence in your swearing ability.

Bless you for helping a clergyman in need.
