Some weeks ago I recieved the longest scam letter in my limited experience. Four pages to be exact! To tell the truth I couldn't really be bothered and was about to hit the delete button...then I thought..."What the hell."

Dear Mr Mazuku

Or shall I call you Ebenezer? Thank you for your speedy reply. I hope this letter finds you well.

Mr. Hyde was most annoyed that you didn�t read our first letter properly as it already included our Telephone No. He can be quite difficult to control at times. Needless to say I managed to calm him down.

Please it is most important that we do not upset him as he can be quite violent without his medication.

Now the No you requested is�.1860-371-3571

We shall wait to hear from your Lawyer. I have to go now as Mr. Hyde is ready to come out and God only knows what he�ll get up to if I don�t attempt to control his urges.

Dear Mr Morgan

We can not describe how excited we both are that you have written and invited us both over to your country. It has been many years since Mr Hyde and I have been seen out anywhere together. We look forward to seeing you all and perhaps taking a few days off to relax in the warm sunshine.

What should I do next�should I contact the French Embassy concerning our visa? Also Mr Hyde would like to know if there are elephants in your part of the country as he would love to ride one. He also wants to know if they bite. (You will have to excuse Mr Hyde as he sometimes gets some funny ideas.)

Please reply soonest and then we can start packing. I must say that I for one am really looking forward to this trip�many thanks again for inviting us.

Yours Sincerely

Dear Ebenezer

Thank you for your letter an advice. Mr Hyde says that he understands about the mix up with the phone number and says he forgives you. He is really looking forward to meeting you, but wants to know what the women are like over there? Do you know of any that are available and free for him to bring back. (I�m afraid that he sometimes gets these funny ideas, so it is always much easier just to humour him or he can become quite violent)

What I would like to know is what type of clothing should I pack and whether or not I should bring a hot water bottle because I am told that it can get quite chilly at night? Mr Hyde also wants to know if he can bring his surf board or will they be provided?

I am sorry about all the questions but it will be our first visit to your part of the world. Also we would like to bring you a present. Is there anything that you would like in particular? If so please let us know in time.

Well I think that�s all for now so I will sign off before Mr Hyde wakes up.

Bye for now.

Yours Sincerely

Dr Henry Jeckyl and Mr Hyde

I receive conformation that Mr Hyde can indeed bring along his surf board if he so chooses, but then alas! I discover that poor Ebenezer only has one foot�

Dear Mr Morgan

Thank you for the information we found it most helpful. There is just one point of irritation though. Despite as we may we are unable to find an Embassy here in the UK. It is looking more and more as though we shall have to travel to the nearest one in Paris France.

This in itself is not really a problem, despite the fact that Mr Hyde was hastily deported from their shores several years ago, after a particularly nasty incident with one of their dis-reputable street girls and a 2kg bag of Gherkins, (which he never got back by the way)

I am afraid that the time limit you have set�2 weeks�is going to be out of the question. However I will keep you informed of our progress on this matter.

Yours Sincerely

H Jeckyl and Mr Hyde

Then write to Ebenezer�

Quote:

Dr Henry Jeckyl Md. Psc
Hyde and Jeckyl Laboratories

London W1

Dear Ebenezer

Just to let you know that Mr Morgan has made contact and we are communicating with him. Mr Hyde is really getting himself worked up with excitement at our forthcoming trip to France, in order to get our visas. We plan to do a bit of shopping for you as well whilst we are there.

It came as an awful shock to find out about your disability. You wrote in your last letter that you would like a shoe, but you didn�t mention which one�is it the left or the right? Was it an accident or was it caused with the war?

There is absolutely no need to be self conscious about it. Why our good friend Miss Fanny Batter only has one leg, but she still manages to keep her dignity and even holds down a decent job making hops for the local Brewery.

As for the other items you suggested, please send us the colour and size you require and we will do our best. The watch is easy as we can easily purchase one of these duty free on the ferry. I think a nice Rolex would be in order as Mr Hyde knows a man who has picked up a load when they fell off the back of a lorry.

Keep up your spirits my friend�and don�t worry too much about the leg.

You�re good friends.

H Jeckyl and Mr Hyde

He replies�but apparently he forgets how to spell his own name correctly.

Quote:

Dear Dr Henry Jeckyl and Mr Hyde
Thanks for your concern about my leg , i still wear shoes but i do not walk a long distance
with it ,my size for it is 43.As for the suit , i like black and brown , so get a middle size of the colours
and the rolex watch is fine .
I am happy that you have been in communication with Mr Morgan , and let me know the stage you have reached concerning
the visa , you mentioned france , is it french embassy that gives visa for Republic Du Benin in your country , i am not
aware of that but they are responsible for that , then proceed and get the visa , but if there is Republic Du Benin Embassy
in your country , then better you get it from there.
I am expecting to hear from you.
God bless amen.
Sincerely
Ebenezer azuko

Chris the Lawyer replies telling me to enjoy my holiday in Paris�

DEAR DR HENRY JECKYL AND MR HYDE
GOODDAY TO YOU .

THE CONTENTS OF YOUR MAIL ARE WELL ARRANGED.
I WILL ADVISE YOU THAT SINCE YOU CANNOT GET OUR EMBASSY IN YOUR COUNTRY , THEN
IT WILL NOT BE ANY PROBLEM TRAVELLING TO FRANCE TO SECURE VISA TO COME TO REPUBLIC DU BENIN.
ONCE THE VISA IS GOTTEN , YOU HAVE TO INFORM ME,AND THE ISSUE OF TWO WEEKS HAS BEEN NOTED, BUT WORK VERY
HARD TO ARRIVE HERE WITHIN TWO WEEKS BUT IF YOU STAY A LITTLE LONEGR , THAT WILL NOT BE PROBLEM.
SO I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.
GOOD LUCK.

Dear Ebenezer

Sorry we forgot to write, but as you can imagine we have had so much to do and so little time to do it in. Mr Hyde popped out nearly all day yesterday and we had a devil of a time getting him under control again. I think it�s probably due to his excitement about going to Paris once again.

How�s the leg? We hope it�s not bothering you too much. Still it won�t be too long now and then we can perhaps have a look at it for you�see what we can do.

We are hoping to leave for Paris early tomorrow afternoon, but the embassy will be closed until Monday morning, so that should leave plenty of time for shopping. Mr Hyde is looking forwards to going up the Eiffel tower�lets just hope that he behaves and doesn�t attempt to throw the tour guide off the top like he did his last visit.

Anyway all for now�must get on with the packing. It�s taking me a hell of a job talking Mr Hyde out of taking his Ski�s. He can be a real nuisance sometimes.

Best wishes.

Henry & Mr H

Ebenezer faithfully replies�

Dear Ebenezer

Wow what a crazy trip that was. Sorry about the delay in replying to your last letter, but we only got back late last night. Mr Hyde managed to make a complete idiot of him self as usual: Luckily though the police were not involved this time. I must remember to increase his medication for the next trip.

Ebenezer could you do me a personnel favour? We are a bit tied up in the Lab all day, so could you please inform Mr Morgan on our behalf that everything went well, and we shall await his further instructions.

Oh by the way we bought you some lovely things during our trip. I think you will be most pleased and at the same time pleasantly surprised. Mr Hyde has also purchased a nice gift for you. He won�t tell me what it is though, he wants to keep it as a surprise and watch your face light up when you open the box. He also asks whether you like Chicken Mc Nuggets, whatever those are.

Anyway all for now as I must go and change ready to hand over to Mr Hyde, so I will write soon.

Best Wishes

Henry & Mr H

Then I suddenly receive this�note how the English has completely disintegrated�but the best bit is the sudden name changes. I wonder if they�ve switched lads on me?

I MET A DIPLOMAT WHO CAN DELIVER CONSIGNMENTS AND OTHER PERSONAL EFFECTS , I TALKED WITH HIM AND HE WAS EAGER TO HELP OUT.THE NEED FOR MY MEETING WITH HIM IS TO SEE IF YOU WILL BUY THE IDEA OF HIM CARRYING THE CONSIGNMENT FROM THE FINANCE AND SECURITY COMPANY AND DELIVER THE CONSIGNMENT TO YOU IN LONDON.
IF YOU WILL BUY THIS IDEA,AS I HAVE THE BELIEVE AFTER HEARING FROM EBENZER THAT YOU WENT THROUGH STRESS IN FINDING VISA IN FRANCE , SO IF THIS DEVELOPMENT IS GOOD AS YOU WILL NOT ENTERTAIN ANY STRESS BUT RATHER IT WILL BE FASTER AND EASY .YOUR COMMITMENT WILL BE TO ASSIST THE DIPLOMAT ON HIS ARRIVAL IN LONDON FOR HIM TO CLEAR THE CONSIGNMENT AT THE AIRPORT ON HIS ARRIVAL .
IF YOU BUY THIS IDEA, THEN LET ME KNOW BUT IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THIS DEVELOPMENT, THEN LET ME KNOW AND GET YOUR VISA VERY FAST AS TIME IS RUNNING OUT DAY BY DAY.

Dear Ebenzer

Hello my dear friend how are you keeping? I am sorry that I have been so long in replying, but our old friend Mr Hyde was up to his usual antics and managed to burn down the lab.

It�s been a devil of a job getting everything put back in order. I honestly thought that our short holiday to France would have quietened him down a little, but alas he proved me wrong.

I think the idea that you presented to me is wonderful. It would save so much time and travel. The only thing is can this diplomat be trusted? What do you know about him�he isn�t Jewish is he? Try to find out all you can about him, for I would hate for any outsider to come in and steal all our money: If you can try and get a copy of his passport or something. Just remember don�t let him bullshit you, because I have met this type before. They always want something for nothing.

Also could you send me you Mr Morgan Chris�s e-mail address again as the fire wiped out nearly all of my records, and I�m sure that he must be worried at our lack of contact.

Many thanks.
Dr J and Mr Hyde.

Dear Ebenzer

Hello our dear friend. Mr Hyde and I are most worried that you haven�t contacted us for some time. We trust that everything is still alright.

I tried explaining to my colleague, that it is probably due to the heavy inter-net access restrictions that the camp imposes on you. Mr Hyde said that he wanted to come over and fill the bastards in�said it�s no way to treat a friend who has shown us nothing but kindness.

We have managed to get everything back in order after the fire. I must say we were most pleased with the insurance pay out�almost $260,000. Much more than we were both expecting? Mr Hyde wants to buy a new Harley Davidson with his share of the money, but I have told him that he needs to start on something a bit smaller first time around until he gets the hang of it. So we are off shopping this afternoon to buy him a hoop and stick to practice on for a while.

Which reminds me�how�s that leg of yours doing� it�s not giving you too much trouble I hope?

We still haven�t heard anything from your lawyer friend about the diplomat. You really will have to have harsh words with them as they are slowing this deal down and we need to get you out of that camp soonest.

Please see what you can do Ebenzer because Mr Hyde can grow very impatient with all this waiting. Hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks.
Dr J and Mr Hyde.

Suddenly as if by magic�or the insurance pay out. I receive this�

Dear My brothers
I am very sorry for not have written to you people, it was due to the fact that the camp lost their internet access and they could not pay on time , so the access was cut off, the access came this evening and i got your mail .
I have talked with the diplomat and he told me that you people are not responding fast as he sent mail and you did not reply it , so i told him that you had an accident over your office but everything have come back to normal.
The diplomat is ready to move with the consignment and he has booked his flight for but he needs to have your city name, name of airport that is close to your city,your telephone number as the lawyer told me that he cannot get you on phone since he has been calling your number and it is not getting through.Give me all the details now as everything has been done waiting for you to complete.
My leg problem has been healed so i am sound now.
I am waiting for the details and send it to the lawyer too , his email is [email protected]
I am waiting for your mail.

Our two good friends are so relieved�they send him this�

Dear Ebenzer

We are so relieved to hear from you at last. We had heard on the news about all the fighting over in your part of the world and Mr Hyde and I were thinking the worse. Still everything is ok now so I can instruct Mr Hyde that his SAS training manual will no longer be required. I just hope that the Army and Navy supply store will take all this stuff back.

Thank you for explaining to the Lawyer and Diplomat about the problems we have been experiencing�it was very noble of you, considering the hardship that you are faced with.

Just a thought my dear friend, but what are we to do with all these nice presents for you, that we brought back from France. I know the watch and clothes will keep until you get here, but Mr Hyde�s package is beginning to smell a little strange. I�ve begged him to get rid of it�but he says that would be cruel. Let me know�perhaps we could mail them to you. Do you have a Post office or is it Pony Express in your part of the world?

I shall write to your Lawyer friend immediately and give him all the necessary details. In fact there couldn�t be a better time to do it, as Mr Hyde is outside busily abseiling off the roof with a fifty pound ruc-sac of potatoes strapped to his back.

The nearest Airport would be Heathrow or London Gatwick. Either will do as we are right in the middle of their flight path.

I am afraid that we are still waiting for British Telecom to re-connect the phone�but we have access to a temporary one. The No is: 44 01 1225-448960 you may have to let it ring for a while as it�s a fair way down the stairs.

Anyway reply soon my friend and let us know about where to send your presents.

Yours truly,

Dr J and Mr H

I wonder how long it will take him to realise that the phone is a public one at Waterloo railway station. I also contact the Lawyer�

Dear Mr Morgan.

We are so relieved to make contact again. I can only apologise for my associate�s clumsiness at setting fire to our office. He took up a new part time job�cleaning oil paintings for the British Museum and thought it would be quicker to use a blow torch. I tried explaining that Turpentine had a very low flash point but he wouldn�t listen as usual. Luckily no one was hurt and the insurance company paid out pretty quickly.

So there you have it I�m afraid. I can only apologise once again.

Now our mutual friend Ebenzer has asked me to contact you with some details for the diplomat:

The nearest airport to our location would be Heathrow or London Gatwick,
Either will do as they are both of equal distance. As for the new telephone number, well to be honest we are still awaiting British Telecom to come and re-connect us. We do however have access to a shared phone downstairs. This is only temporary so should not cause you too much inconvenience. The No is: 44 01 1225-448960

I hope that these details will speed things along. Oh Mr Hyde sends his regards, but is a little confused about Ebenezer�s leg. In our earlier mail we were under the impression that he had lost his leg due to the war. Now he says that it has healed up�could you please explain this? I would have asked him about it myself�but the poor man has been through enough turmoil as late.

Many Thanks.

Dr J and Mr H

Ebenezer replies with a solution to how to receive his presents�

Quote:

Dr Dr Henry and Mr HYDE
I have received your mail , i will tell you that if you send the present here for me the refugee inspectors will not give it to me but if you send it through a non governmental agency , they will bring it here , so i will give you a non governmental agency name by tomorrow for you to use in sending them.

The diplomat by name Mr Paul Gate , told the lawyer that he has been calling your number as i gave to the lawyer and he gave it to the diplomat , the diplomat will be travelling to london tomorrow to meet with you , so he needs to speak with you , you have to get a telephone number where you can be reached now , do not send the one you give me before it is not working , send another one and a working one.

The diplomat email address is : [email protected]
Send mail to him now and give him another telephone number otherwise he cannot meet you , he needs to speak with you as he has no time left , do that now.

All is on you now , do not delay.

Dear Sir

We have been instructed by our very good friend Mr Ebenezer Mazuko to contact you immediately. As you are probably aware Mr Hyde and I have taken it upon ourselves to help Mr Mazuko from his present predicament.

Despite all the hardships and the loss of his leg due to the horrific wars over in that part of the country, Mr Mazuko has never once lost faith and even to this day�refuses to talk about his horrific injury. This just goes to show the blind faith that this poor suffering soul puts in us.

Mr Hyde is very angry at the delay in assistance to our young friend, and has taken it upon himself against my advice, and contacted his good friend Lady Lara Croft. Together the pair are getting together a small army and are hoping to come out by stealth aircraft early next week in a bid to rescue Mr Mazuko.

I have tried several times to make him see sense, but alas to no avail. I have also contacted British Telecom and stressed the urgency at getting our new telephone lines installed after the recent fire. As I believe that you are desperate to contact us by phone. For this problem I can only apologise.

As an interim measure, you can leave any important message on this No: 1860-371-3571

Please forward any information that you need to know to me immediately before it is too late to stop Mr Hyde and Lady Crofts mercenaries.

Thank you for your attention

Dear Mr Morgan.

Thank you for your speedy reply. We have received mail from our good colleague Ebenezer Mazuko asking us to contact the diplomat immediately. This we have done so everything should now be ok.

I am amazed at the quick recovery to our friend�s leg. As a practicing consultant for over ten years here at the General I would like to know exactly what medication was applied to necessitate such a speedy and complete recovery. The reason I ask is that we have several patients here on the wards, who have suffered the loss of limbs due to accidents and it has taken many months of physiotherapy and bed baths before they are released from the hospital.

As a practicing professional yourself you will understand my curiosity. Also before we start sending money half way across the world to someone we know nothing about. Could you please send proof that this money actually exists.

Also we will require a scanned passport picture of the diplomat.

Yours Sincerely

Dr Henry Jekyl

In the meantime Ebenezer sends me this letter�

DEAR DR HENRY AND MR HYDE
HOW ARE YOU PEOPLE TODAY , I DID NOT HEAR FROM YOU .
I HAVE THIS NEWS AND IT IS URGENT , THE LAWYER TOLD ME THAT YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO ASSIT THE DIPLOMAT WITH 500POUNDS AND THAT HE HAS INFORMED YOU HIS NAME AND MODE ONF SENDING THE MONEY , PLEASE IF YOU HAVE RECEIVED SUCH MAIL FROM THE LAWYER , KINDLY DO SO AS THE DIPLOMAT IS WAITING.
AGAIN , I AM YET TO GET AN ADDRESS FOR MY PRESENT , I WILL GET ONE BY TOMORROW.
YOUR BROTHER
EBENEZER MAZUKO

Chris Morgan replies with his in depth explanation concerning Ebenezer�s leg�

Quote:

DEAR DR J AND MR H.
I AM VERY MUCH OPTIMISTIC WHEN READING YOUR MAIL.
THE HEALLING OF THE LEG WAS DUE TO THE LOCAL HERB THAT WAS APPLIED TO IT , THE ENGLISH MEDICINE PAR SAY DOES NOT HEAL BONE FRACTURE EASILY , HERE WE HAVE PEOPLE WITH SUCH CONDITION AT THE HOSPITAL BUT THEY END UP PASSING THROUGH PAINS BUT ONCE THEY ARE BROUGHT TO LOCAL MEDICATION OF HERBS SUCH PATIENTS GETS BETTER WITH SOME DAYS , HERE INDEED IS THE CASE. MR EBENEZER'S LEG HAS HEALED AND HE IS MOVING FINE BUT A CLOSE WATCH WILL SHOW YOU THAT HE ACTUALLY HAD A PROBLEM BEFORE.
NOW THE ISSUE OF PROOF I AM GIVING YOU IS 100% GUARANTEE THAT THE EXISTENCE OF THIS MONEY IS RECOGNISED. LIKE I TOLD YOU BEFORE AND MR EBENEZER EXPLAINED TO YOU ALSO , THE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT WILL BE SEND TO YOU ATTACHED ON THE CONSIGNMENT , THE DOCUMENT IS A CLASSIFIED ONE AND CANNOT BE FAX OR SCANNED, MR EBENEZER SLEEPS WITH IT UNDER HIS BED EVERY DAY AND NIGHT AND INFACT HE DOES NOT WANT A FOURTH PARTY TO HAVE A LOOK AT IT , HE WAS EXPECTING THAT IF YOU COME , HE WILL HAND IT OVER TO YOU , THAT IS HE WILL GIVE IT TO ME AND I WILL GET IT MOVED OUT SOME HOW BUT ALL THE SAME THINGS HAVE TAKEN A GOOD SHAPE. SO I GIVE YOU 100% GUARANTEE , SO DO NOT WORRY AS HE IS QUITE A GENUINE PERSON AND INFACT HE HAS TOLD ME THAT YOU PEOPLE ARE THE BEST THING THAT HAS HAPPENED TO HIM FOR SOME TIME NOW SO I DO NOT SEE THE REASON WHY YOU HAVE TO DOUBT HIM , OH HE IS A LOVING GENTLEMAN.
I WILL ADVISE YOU TO SEND THE MONEY TO THE ADDRESS OF THE DIPLOMAT AS I HAVE ALREADY GIVEN TO YOU .
AGAIN YOU MENTIONED ABOUT SENDING THE DIPLOMAT'S PASSPORT TO YOU , NO YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THE DIPLOMAT HAS IMMUNITY AND HE CANNOT SEND OUT HIS PASSPORT AND HE DOES NOT KNOW THAT THE CONTENT OF THE CONSIGNMENT HE WILL BE CARRING IS MONEY , SO IF WE DEMAND ALL THOSE THINGS , HE WILL BE INQUSITIVE AND MAY CANCEL THE ASSIGNMENT .
THE CONDITION OF YOUR FRIEND AND BROTHER EBENEZER MAZUKO WILL BE BETTER ONES THE CONSIGNMENT IS BROUGHT TO YOU PEOPLE AS HE DOES NOT TRUST ANYONE AGAIN APART FROM YOU .THE CHOICE IS YOURS.

I then give Ebenezer some very secretive news�

Quote:

Dr Henry Jeckyl Md. Psc
Hyde and Jeckyl Laboratories
White Chapel
London W1

Dear Ebenezer

I hope this letter finds you well my good friend. I have contacted Mr Morgan and also the Diplomat as you requested.

For all our sakes you must read carefully this letter and comply with its instructions.

Mr Hyde and I have never been ones to turn our back on our friends in distress. We now consider you our good friend, and although we have never met, we have decided that more needs to be done to assist you quickly out of your predicament.

The plan that I am about to unfold is highly confidential and must remain top secret until its completion. Do not discuss this with anyone apart from your immediate family, and then only if absolutely imperative.

The plan is this:

I have contacted Mr Morgan and shall go ahead with my dealings with him to transfer the funds. Mr Hyde on the other hand has contacted his very good friend Lady Lara Croft and she has agreed to put her organisation at our disposal.

Tombraider Incorporated which is run by Lady Croft specializes in the extraction of war refugees like yourself. A small band of ruthless mercenaries led by Lara herself are already infiltrating themselves into your country and should be in position by early next week.

A false passport and travel documents will be provide for you, once they have established contact. It is imperative that you speak with Lady Croft at [email protected] quoting the secret phrase �This is Hopalong Cassidy� to which she will reply �Clippedy Clippedy Clop�

She and her team are waiting on standby with Mr Hyde ready to receive your mail and issue you with further instructions.

Please do not delay on this my friend as it could very well save your life.

Yours truly,

Dr Henry Jekyl

He acknowledges my letter with this reply�

Quote:

Dear Brothers
I have received your mail , i have also understood the contents of it with the development you have made for my freedom , i cannot afford to say thank you .
I will mail Lady Croft as you said but i will tell you one thing , i am very happy with the development but i will be more happy if we conclude with our transaction at hand and then they can come in , if they come here now and get me out , then i must not have the knowledge of our transaction , i believe it will be better for us to conclude it as you have agreed for the diplomat to come with our money , then let us keep it this way , a day after you have received meet with the diplomat in UK and he hands over our consignment to you , then the people of lady Croft will come in and move me out of here , here is very unhealthy and uncertain but let our property be secured also in line .I will like us to keep it this way.
I am waiting for you to inform me that you have settle the money aspect withn the diplomat so that he can move and i myself will be gathering more information for lady Croft concerning our camp , such like loopholes and time of play so that there will be more escape root for us.
I am very happy and also i will tell you there is an eleven years old girl here with me at this camp she has no parents , she is not educated , but on arrival of Lady Croft team , we must move out with her , please reason for the poor littel girl.

Ebenezer Mazuko

Then Lara Croft receives this in her mail�

Dear Lady Croft

This is Hopalong Cassidy to which she will reply Clippedy Clippedy Clop

I am a friend to Dr Henry Jeckyl and Mr Hyde, they told me to contact you for an urgent assistance you wish to give to me for my freedom at the refugee camp , so i believe i should email you as they instructed me , any information requested i am able to give.

Meanwhile I contact Chris Morgan and thank him for the medical information�

Quote:

Dr Henry Jeckyl Md. Psc
Hyde and Jeckyl Laboratories

Dear Mr Morgan.

Thank you very much indeed for your informative letter. It is amazing in this modern day and age�how simple things like herbs from Gods own garden can result in such miraculous treatments. Why only two years ago Mr Hyde himself refused modern treatment after breaking his Femur in three places, whilst climbing in the French Alps.

I can still remember the incident most vividly. Mr Hyde came crawling down from the glacier in a horrific state. It was doubtful at one point as to whether or not his leg could actually be saved. He refused all modern medication and relied on a remedy passed down from his grandmother. He simply took 400mg of �Alka Seltzers� and ran his leg under a cold water tap for a few hours. It just goes to show doesn�t it?

Please I beg of you take care of our dear friend as he really is in our hearts and we must not let him down�after all we are all the real friends that he has at the moment.

Also I have tried repeatedly to contact the Diplomat at the address you gave me�but the mail keeps coming back un-delivered. I have attached the letter below�could you please forward it on from your end�and perhaps see if he could provide an alternate address.

Many thanks

Henry.

Dear Mr Mazuku

Hello my friend. Although we have not yet met, our good friends Henry and Mr Hyde have fully explained your situation to me. So I have offered to put my organisation at their disposal.

It is with the utmost secrecy that the evacuation plans be carried out. Please I warn you do not even divulge our dealings �even amongst your closest friends. Friends are renowned for their betrayal, so must be dealt with cautiously.

To ease your extraction I will need a bit of information, please supply the following:

(1) The full names of all people that will be travelling.
(2) Their approx place/date of birth�for the fake passports.
(3) A passport sized photograph for each member.
(4) Their measurements� in order that suitable disguises can be fitted.

As soon as I receive the above information I will be able to start the ball rolling and produce all the necessary paperwork and documentation. Also I will require a detailed map drawing of the camp itself. Please mark in suitable locations for helicopter landings�Latrines and the exact location of where it would be convenient for you to be lifted out to safety. May I suggest as near to the helicopter LZ as possible.

I shall await the information. Then upon receipt I shall send you a detailed form to complete so that we may make final preparation. In the meantime I have enclosed my photograph to remind you that freedom is not far away for you. Good luck my new friend.

Yours Faithfully

Lady Lara Croft�But as you are now under my protection, please call me Lara

Dear Ebenezer Mazuku

Message received and understood. I thought about the passport photographs and realised afterwards that you probably wouldn�t have access to a camera. Not to worry we won�t need the passports anyway until we reach our headquarters in Switzerland.

I don�t think it would be a good idea to involve anyone else�the slightest suspicion could jeopardise the whole mission.

We are looking at the night of Sept 30th for the operation as there will be no moon that night and the met office reports that the weather will be clear all the way to Switzerland. It is hoped that the green birds�sorry the Apache Gun Ships will be able to land and evacuate your party pretty quickly, and hopefully keep the killing to a minimum.

Now as I understand�it will be just the 3 of you to pick up. I really need your approximate sizes for the clothing, and disguises. It can get bloody cold up in these Swiss Alps and without adequate protection your life expectancy will be zero.

Also I must have that plan of the camp. Just a rough sketch will do, it doesn�t have to be too scale. Just show the relevant spots I asked for. This could really save a lot of unnecessary bloodshed should a fight break out. Do it freehand and e-male it to me urgently.

I know things are difficult for you and your party at the moment, but where there is a will there is a way. Please try and do your part�and we won�t let you down.

Love & Hugs

Lara.

Dear Ebenezer

How are you my dear friend? I am very worried because you have not contacted me for several days. I haven�t even received a single word from Mr Hyde since he disappeared to Bognor to assist Lady Croft.

I have been trying desperately to get in touch with the diplomat through Mr Morgan, but even he is choosing to ignore me. I am so fraught with worry�so little time and yet so much to do.

Please is there�s any chance that next time you see Mr Morgan, you could tell him to contact me before I depart for Switzerland next week. If I don�t get the money sent to the diplomat on time, we may miss him.

Do your best for me my dear friend and I�ll make sure that you will be happily taken care of when we all meet at the end of the month.

Did you manage to contact the diplomat on our behalf? We realise that you are probably a very busy man, with many clients�but please my dear friend you must think of young Ebenezer he is depending on us.

Please we beg of you�before it�s too late. Please give this matter your most urgent attention.

Dear Lara
Password: Hopalong Cassidy Clippedy Clippedy Clop!

I have received your mail , i guess you do not know that my late father had an investments which he kept under a finance and security firm here in Republic du benin but he deposited the fund with my identity as his son before the war .I do not know if my friends told you about this all before they contected you to help me , now i have decided for upkeep of the fund to be for my friends(DR HENRY AND MR HYDE) to be in control pending when i will be given political asylum .Since your organisation has come to help me out and my family investments are still under the finance and security firm , i saw it wise for us to secure this fund before bringing me out of the camp , if the fund is leftbehind then i must have lost all my family treasures.
In this case , i have made an arrangement with a lawyer attached here at the refugee camp and he knows of one diplomat who will use his immunity to get our fund out of the security and finance company and carry this fund from here to UK and meet my friends.The diplomat does not know the true content of the delivery as the lawyer told him that they are personal items.
I will like to be moved out from this camp in line with the money , so the diplomat needs to be assisted for him to be able to make this travel .
I hope i am making sence to you , let me hear from you.

Dear Ebenezer

Hey I will say one thing about you my dear friend�you certainly don�t keep a girl waiting. Thank you for such a speedy reply.

I have contacted our mutual friend Dr Henry and he has filled me in with all the details. In fact he spent most of last night and then again early this morning filling me to capacity. So I now have all the facts at my disposal and understand why the good Dr is so distressed.

The Dr has tried several times to contact Mr Morgan concerning getting a payment to the Diplomat before he leaves, but is now worried because there has been no contact from Mr Morgan. If it is only a small thing like money that is holding everything up�then I�m sure that Dr Henry will not hold things up in that department.

Whether the payment he has to send is big or small it makes no matter. Size is not always important�but the speed with which one can deliver. This is a rule that I have always followed throughout my life. If you�ve got personal assets, then it doesn�t make any difference how big it is�it�s what you can do with it.

All this said I can see now what is worrying our good friend, he wants to make your future secure by transferring the funds, before your escape. This I can assure you will happen�if only Mr Morgan or the diplomat would contact Henry before he leaves for Switzerland.

Also I am still waiting for that sketch of the camp you promised me as well as approximate sizes for the cold weather clothing. Please get them to me soonest. We would look foolish with your money stuck in a bank in Switzerland and you still stuck in that camp unable to spend it.

Get back to me soonest please�it really is important.

Lara

NB. I found an old photograph of Dr Henry & Mr Hyde; I�ll post it on to you when I get the time.

All of a sudden Ebenezer starts proving difficult�

please, i cannot understand this any lonegr , Dr Henry has not contacted the lawyer again , the lawyer is Mr Morgan
and he has contacted Dr henry several times with the information he should send money to the diplomat for him to be able to get some documents that will be required for this travel and he did not contact Mr Morgan again.
i told you that i cannot get a specified length since we are not allowed to measure and also i cannot send anything by scan into your email here since the scanning machine is not for us here.
i beleive that Dr Henry has not really come up to help me , this is approximate two months and some weeks now we have been writing with no positive arrival, so if there should be any head way let me know but if there is not , then let me know , our problem now is send money to the diplomat for him to get the document, the amount is 500 pounds .so let me hear from you

Dear Ebenezer

I am very upset by your lack of trust in your last letter. Do you realise that this operation has already cost my organisation quite a lot of money! This is not a joking matter my dear friend.

I fully understand the difficulties that you must be going through, but what fanciful game is your Lawyer friend playing at. I have contacted our good friend Dr Jekyl�who incidentally is worried sick, and he has assured me that he is trying desperately to contact both the diplomat and Mr Morgan in an attempt to send them the money requested.

Until Dr Jekyl receives instructions on where to send the money, and to what name then he can do no more. I have attached the mail sent from Dr Jekyl:

I send him copies of all the letters over the past few weeks�quite a read eh�.

Quote:

So as you can see, I think all the blame lies at Mr Morgan�s feet. I just can�t understand what the man is up too. If you are in contact with Mr Morgan�then please instruct him to reply to Dr Henry immediately.

As for the sketch of your camp that you say you can not send, could your Lawyer not scan it for you? This would save a lot of time and bother; otherwise we shall have to rely on Satellite imagery, which is not always known to be 100% accurate.

Please Ebenezer I implore you�please have faith in your friends. I shall await your speedy reply.

It is at this point that the lads gave the scam up as a bad job. Either that or the thought of Lara Croft and her killer mercenaries actually landing in their Gun Ships and massacring everyone in sight scared them off I don�t know. Maybe he�ll get back to me�maybe he won�t. But rest as
