I accused my branded pet (see tattoo here) of being on a terrorist's list and demanded a prove of his innocence. This is what I got:

I write in respect of the subject matter, that one Accounts being flagged as associated with known Terrorist Organization, as FALSE & NOT TRUE. A dispatch team was sent to his bank for proper/further investigation on the subject matter. The Management of his Bank (United Bank for Africa Plc) has distance itself from the said allegation (of ) Account being flagged as associated with known Terrorist Organization.
, has operated the said Account for the past 4 years. It is on this note/premise that I write in clarification on the subject matter.
I ask that you can go ahead with the acknowledgement of the said fund.
I will be glad if this Referral Letter is given a serious consideration.

Thanks

Dear Sister,

REFERRAL LETTER FOR

I write in respect of the subject matter, that our Client , Accounts being flagged as associated with known Terrorist Organization have brought to our notice. This is a Legal N.G.O with a responsibility to fight for the good course of the common Man/Woman out there on the street who has no one to speak on his or her behalf. Mr. Jerome Kanayo & Miss Elsie Okito were sent to his bank for onward investigation on the subject matter. The Management of his Bank (United Bank for Africa Plc) is disturbed on the said allegation (of ) Account being flagged as associated with known Terrorist Organization.
Our Client () has operated the said Account for a period of 4 years. It is sad to note that things like this hardly occur, as the said Bank is a well reputable Bank here in Nigeria.
As a result of this, I write to exonerate our Client () on the subject matter and would like you to go ahead with the disbursement of the said fund, which our Client is a beneficiary. I will be glad if this whole process of Clarification is kindly considered.

Thanks for your Co-operation.

Sincerely yours,
Mariamu .N. Sadhatu (Mrs)

I love how the police are always so reassuring that you should do business with the lad. Laughing

Perhaps you should ask them to help out in the transaction.

EDIT: Or ask for a second opinion! Twisted Evil

I wouldn't believe the Legal Aid Council because they are using one of them dodgy gmail accounts. Shocked

geez.. you would think the police could actually provide a clearance certificate to prove the guy has no criminal record or terrorist associations Twisted Evil

At the very least you need photo ID. Anyone can claim to be the police.

Ask for a print out of his criminal history faxed to you.

Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 4:21 pm

You might ask the police and / or the legal aid people what disbursement they are talking about, then ask your mugu what the hell is going on since he assured you that this deal would be done in total secrecy. Good opportunity for a slap or to play your lads against each other. Or both!

Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 4:37 pm

That would be a good time for a slap....now that there is no secrecy and the authorities are involved. You can probably leave some hand prints for that one.

Shocking.

We are demanded of absolute confidence, and this lad goes to police !!

Some documents for sure are needed. And an apology.

Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 5:36 pm

I would not trust that legal Gmail account

Demand bank history of the lad. From the police you need a formal letter of reference with finger prints Laughing

Posted: Mon Aug 13, 2007 5:39 pm

they wouldnt have a copy of his finger prints on file
or the make up of his DNA.obviously mr plod may have to
take a sample first.

i really cant remember which orifice it should be taken from

What?

A police organization responding to a question about terrorism does not submit to you a B-27/6 Anti-Terrorism Certification Form with proper notarizations?

"That's just not the way we play cricket!"

Rather thought that was standard operating procedure.

Must be completed by the certifying officer with proof of credentials. . . .

. . . then there is this video with a goat. . . .

I like this idea Very Happy

.

I hope nobody mentions the gmail and yahoo accounts, and that they should be brought to the attention of the lad. After all, if a lad's going to impersonate the police we really really want him to do so from a yahoo of gmail account - you would imagine it might tip off a real victim.

Naturally all future correspondence will be submitted to the Nigerian Police in order to ascertain the veracity of the content.

Should make for some nice Goofy material Very Happy

Now if it were me, I'd accuse the two "character witnesses" of also being on the terrorist list.

Good luck with your bait.

Posted: Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:48 am

It does seem like everyone on the "internets" knows about your deal! Shocked

Maybe if you play it right, you will get a message from Interpol, the CIA and the FBI. Laughing

Great thread.
I've never seen an email from the police yet Smile

Posted: Thu Aug 16, 2007 5:36 am

I asked them to provide my pet's whole criminal history (or a lack of), his "scholar" history (with exams and such) and the ID of those who provide the said "documentation".

Should be fun to read Laughing

(waiting "Hall of shame" material Wink
