Dear Gordon,

Thanks for your information, i do not see any reason why you cannot give me your telephone number or call me, anyway that is by the way, I have verified the information you gave me, it it correct, it is a fiduciary office of the african Developement bank. Therefore contact them immediately and furnish me with your flight itinerary, moreso, I will wait for you in the airport to meet with you after finalization of our transaction with company in accra-ghana, the we shall proceed to safari camp, pls note, i will not be in safari camp enjoying while my business in still hanging in ghana, we need to finalize everything with CONFIDENT TRUST SECURITY & FINANCE COMPANY, before moving to sarafi -camp, business first before pleasure, let us conclude the business first and know that my money is in a safe hand before going to the camp. Pls understand this.

Send me your intinerary to know the time of your arrival in accra-ghana, this is very importnat to enable me wait for you in the airport.

Thanks

Yusuf

Even when he's in the embassy in Accra (which he claimed in the email prior to this one), he suddenly can't make it to the airport - probably because his lazy arse is still in Lagos:

please note this transaction is my life and if loss it i may die so please kindly understand me any mistake we made now we may cost us the transaction and the reason why i ask you to take a cab to meet with me in noga hill hotel is that i dont want anything that will raise an eye browl to this transaction am very known person in Nigeria and some of top Nigerian Government is in ghana because of the independence and if they see me in with you in the airport that may be a problem for us that is the another reason why i said you should pick a cab if you are not comfortable to follow hotel driver to meet me in the hotel so that i will be free to tell you what to do please for the sake of God do your best and come to Noga Hill hotel if you want me to be alive.

God is our watch word what i want is best for us and you can not understand it now but soon you understand everything i am doing please in the name of God i ask you please to take cab and come if you dont want me to die before my time. this transaction is my life.
I have perfected everything in your name and also i am here to direct you on what to do so you dont need to worry and note it is only me that know that you here with such amount so you dont need to panic because i am doing all this for our own good. come to Noga Hill Hotel it is the only best place for us my brother Gordon.

Dear Gordon,

it is quite unfortunate that you want to end this
transaction this way, what is the faith of the
security company after my coming to ghana, what is
wrong in you coming to noga hill hotel,. i gave you
the telephone number of the hoel, their email to
confirm my reservation.

The hotel management went to wait for in the airport
since,only to find out that your name was in the
manifest, who is telling the truth, because i can
understand in the ticket you presented to us where
british airways mark 419 circled with red pen, this is
a criminal code in Nigeria. Today the hotel managment
did not see your name in the manifest, so how did you
fly to cotonou. am yet to know the truth behind this.

am still waiting for you in noga hills hotel, you can
reach me through the phone number of the hotel. i do
not have any phone yet, if you are no more interested
in this transaction, give me a writing power of
attorney from you address indicating your
unwillingness to continue with the transaction to
enable me make a swift change of ownership of fund
while am in ghana now.

I do not understand why you are dictating what should
happen in my own money and transaction, i involved you
into. there is nothing like 5imba cafe in cotonou, i
have verified that, pls be serious for once and call
me or come to the hotel you will see me, i have only
two days now to stay here, i will depart to my
country.

Alternatively, you can give me the address of the
hotel you lodged to meet up with you tommorow morning
before you depart to cotonou. have you contacted the
security company, do they know about your arrival,
contact them and update me.

regards

Yousef

Dear Gordon,

Where is your hotel, tell me the hotel and the room, i will meet you up even in the looby, i cannot come to ghana without seeing you, i should be going back to Nigeria on sunday, if we had a meeting today precisely monday we go to the security company for processing.

I told you the mistake was made by me telling you noga hills is a five star hotel, but nicon noga a hotel in nigeria is a five star hotel, with that i thought it will also be same company that runs the whole hotel. Contact me with the number of the hotel management i have given to you tell them you want to talk to yusuf, if you have a number to be reached possible furnish me with the number, you want disclose the hotel, what is the catch? and the motive behind this. i have told you that you shouldnot be afraid for whatever a reason.am in control of this transaction, but follow my instruction

Pls my good brother, if you cannot see me for us to go to the security company do not do anything that will jeopardise this transaction, Contact the security company and tell them you did not come again that you would prefer African Development bank send the money to you via electronic transfer/ certified intl bank draft, then you write them and indicate your prefered option.Moreover, if you are moving to cotonou today, contact me and let me know.

regards

So, has he travelled?

He refused to give me a picture, so I can't disallow the possibility he just gave his email facilities to someone in Ghana, although if he was going to do that then he should have done so BEFORE he said he was in Ghana the first time.

Last signature is the first time he has used 'Bar'.

Do I get me a nice titfer, then? Question

Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 12:28 am

Not sure... the writing style looks similar enough though.

BTW, please edit that header info as the blowout is reaching epic proportions!

Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 1:21 am

Hmm, odd. The first two lead to Nigeria, 3rd email to USA, and 4th to Ghana for me. Confused

Posted: Sun Mar 09, 2008 10:10 pm

I make the IPs,

First 2, location Lagos, Nigeria
Last 2, location Accra, Ghana

About 200 miles, between them

Its possible that the last 2 were sent to a relation in Accra for onward transmission, also copy sent back to lad in Lagos (bcc), as the 3rd one is in columns, but the last one is back to normal.

Posted: Mon Mar 10, 2008 1:10 am

I spoke to him in Accra but couldn't get him to Benin (yet) - so can I have a helmet?

EDIT - checked an earlier call to him, it was on 0234 whereas yesterday's was 0233.

I'm off to fit myself for a pith helmet. Must be the world's most boring safari, admittedly..
