The Madrigal has graduated!
Everyone join for some Renaissance-themed boozey fun!
Joking aside, he is a brilliant baiter capable of inflicting lots of lad pain.
It's been a pleasure!

Well? Where is he? We can't be expected to just wait around forever in here, there aren't even any chips and dip.

Congrats to both of you! Very Happy

Congratulations for graduating! Here's hoping there's lots of lad pain ahead!

I thank you all! Next round of mead and schnapps is on me! Smile

Actually, all credit goes to Turu. Thanks to his masterful mentoring, spot on guidance, and precise instructions, i am now able to ... competently... deal with lads... what have we done?? Very Happy

Also, there is a special person that i would like to thank. That special person has been my support this whole time, even though he is somewhere in Syrian dessert, or in UAE (depends if you believe him, or his IP, respectively). Yet, i have to confess - it is my sin that, for some reason, i cannot conclude a certain matter with a certain consignment, which is really important to him. I'll do my absolute best to finally conclude that matter.

With a bright smile, and a tear in my eye, i would like to recollect some of the finest memories, many of which happened during my graduation ( my messages are in bold) :

The lad presents himself as a Dr. Diplomat, a head of courier company in Dubai. On the other side, yours truly represents a powerful corporation based in Monaco, and it's owner, CEO, and Finance Director (all played by me)

Our 1st attempt

Quote:

This morning, Vertex Global has made payment to the indicated account.
Expect the funds to be available on the indicated account Tomorrow, Saturday 16th, or Monday 18th in the morning.
Please, give us a follow - up once you receive the funds.
----the next day---
As you said the money was transferred to the account on 15 /12/2017
But till now,the money has not arrived the account.
We are worried because the money has not arrived our account.

Our 2nd attempt, after filling out a 50 page contract, by hand.

Quote:

I send you the contract agreement.
Send me the screen shot of the transfer after the transfer, because
its very important in this transaction, for documentation.
--------
Excellent, we are preparing documentation from our side.
Kindly, i'm sending you a few corrections that have to be made in the contract

Oh dear.. I hope we'll finally get out of this bureaucratic hell. Damn Europeans and their laws...

Attempt No3.

Quote:

Finally, after correcting that contract 3 times
We have received corrections, and we submitted them to our bank
Expect that around Friday, 12th we will be able to transfer the indicated sum to you
---
Okay
---

Finally... Now imagine: You have been working with this maga for over 8 months. Countless document, invoices, procedures, that annoying Finance director. Finally, it will be all over. Tomorrow, on Friday morning, you will walk in a bank with your head held high, and come out with $25,000 in cash. Friday evening, you will park your new NISSAN Pathfinder in front of a fancy club, and show off in front of the whole village. That cute chiefs daughter will run into your rich, open arms. World will be yours.... or will it??

Quote:

Note that we do not make any changes. Stop any payment to Ghana Africa to avoid being Scam. The consignment is here our custody in Dubai UAE and not Africa.
----
Seems that i have forgotten to update you. We have received information from consignment owner - Mr. Mustafa that you no longer have his consignment, that he does not need your services any longer, and that he changed carrier company. Mrs Jenny confirmed it. Per his instructions, we made payment this morning to courier service in Ghana.
----
Please cancel any payment to Ghana I did not change the courier company. Cyber criminal want to take your money please stop them and proceed with Mr. X. these the Pearson that killed our friend Dimitri they want wipe his family please save them. Mr Edgar has vow to wipe the linage of Dimitri
Act fast before is too late.

Seems that we have a imposter on our hands.... club and chief daughter will have to wait... Except, your rival (my fake lad, which impersonated lad's fake alter ego) wrote this to the maga, his Finance director, and 4 more people (and to you as well):

Quote:

Please disregard this email. I receive confirmation, Mr. Courier no longer works for Courier, he was fired due to being drunk and stealing money. He is fired, and is now a janitor in charge of garbage. Treat him like a hoodlum that he is, and do not regard his emails. Courier Company Dubai NO LONGER HAS MY BOX, it was returned to me, after mr. Courier is fired. I have identify this impostor - he is a son of thousand fathers, all bastards like him. He wants to steal my box and your money only.

That insolent harker... You feel your blood boiling... Yesterday you were supposed to buy a new suit, and a submariner, and foolishly blew all your money... you were counting on those 25k... Something radical has to be done...yes...YES.. THAT"S IT!:

Quote:

I will be coming to Khmeimim Airport on 28 February.
Please confirmed my coming by updating me how everything is, because I don't want to risk my life and that of my child out there.
thanks you very much and best regards to Dr Ennis. Please confirm my visitation.

Sadly, i had some RL stuff to take care of, so i didn't follow up on his last mail. Anyway, after a direct order from Vertex's CEO, lad finally understood that he'll have to show up in Syria, if he wants those $55k (yep, more demurrage charges), since it was his original idea to whine how hard it is in Syria. I'll keep you posted on the development.

That, and many,many more fun (or sad, depends on the POV) moments marked my student days. Smile

Again, my boundless gratitude to Turu, who made it all possible.

I hope i'll become a contributing member of Eater, and i especially hope that we'll all have lots of fun baiting Smile

Kind Regards
M.
