I do hope he appreciates all the efforts and imaginative innovations going on here. Surely even if he cannot share financially he can applaud the quality of the performers in this play?

One of my characters who asked a few questions too many was "dropped" by the lad. He complained to the banker who pushed the lad to reply. So the lad wrote the following:

If you would give me a recap of where we stopped in the compensation claim process, I will be glad so that we can proceed further.

The client then tore a strip off the lawyer for not having his own notes and records of how this transaction was progressing. It won't change much, but it makes the lad work a bit harder.......

07.00 - Nigeria local time - The Captain Anondo's submarine has come back again to the surface of the ocean:

Quote:

Austin,

As I told you, I do not like talking too much.

I'm waiting for you the necessary documents for registration: National ID Card, International Passport, CV (Resume), criminal record.

A short video clip, in which you read your own Resume, and finally bring some thanks and greetings to the operative forces of the naval forces will be welcomed and appreciated a lot.

I'm gonna ask you to tell me if your travel agent also deals with getting the US visa. You will need a valid 10-year visa with multiple entries.

If you encounter difficulties, I will guide you to someone who will advise you and help you fill in all the necessary forms for the Embassy.

It is important that the visa be granted at the first request, because a negative registration is like a red flag in the electronic records files.

Justice and honor!

Captain Anondo

As I already told you, I have a very nice 50 pages document necessary for US Visa. Laughing

07.57 - One hour later, the "nephew" Austin wrote to my captain:

Quote:

Captain sir,

I understood your mail to me. Yes I should be getting all the necessary information ready by Monday next week and forward it to you after all details has been gathered.

Sir, there's something I need to comprehend here sir, once I have been admitted into the Naval war college, will the admission letter be sent to me via email??

I need to know this captain so that I can get prepared to come down to the states this summer to start in the naval war college.

Thanks, Justice and honour

Austin

At the same time, the idiot (as barrister Brooke) did not write anything and did not send any of the documents previously requested. Laughing

And... we're still on the 2 accounts confusion roundabout with Jennifer and Brookey. He just doesn't get that Jennifer is looking at the transfer screen in her online banking app. I feel confident that I can drag this out until at least next Monday.

Quote:

Now I understand where you are heading to; it's very clear to me now that I have just read your mail. Actually, You know it's different banks with different procedures.

Actually madam, the payment slip I sent to you yesterday was just an example of how the payment will go. I didn't say you were banking with the mentioned bank. So madam, here to start what you are going to do Today, take the account details below as stated to your bank today, and inform them that you want to make a transfer to the account details below.

Once you mention that you want make the transfer to the beneficiary of the account (i.e Mr.Austin Richard), you'll see that they won't find it hard making the transfer and you'll have the payment slip in your possession

They will know what to do as regards to making the transfer today madam.

SENT SAME ACCOUNT INFO YET AGAIN

But I must ask madam, do you bank with a British bank or an American bank?? Just so I know and keep record of things.

Finally madam, he made me to understand that his account is a checking account. So please after payment is made today, do well to attach a copy of the payment slip to me so as to serve as an evidence that you (my client) has fully settled my retainer fee.

Do you think that he wants me to make the payment TODAY? Well, too bad. RL kicked by butt today, so I just got around to checking my baiting email.

Quote:

I was on set for 16 hours today, so I just get your email. I told you that I bank with Bank of America. Their transfer form only has 1 account field not 2, so I can either send the money to the Citibank account OR to the Access account, but I don't see a routing number for the Access account. If you want me to send the money to that account, I will need the routing number.

Sincerely,
Jennifer

And around and around and around we go... (sing it with me...)

Wednesday

09.00 - Captain Anondo to "the nephew" Austin:

Quote:

Austin,

There are some preliminary stages, the deployment of which depends on the correctness of the documents presented, as well as the promptness shown by the candidate.

- Presentation of the file. We send all the documents and make known our intention to attend college courses (here, that video presentation will be needed and very very useful).

- The College Admissions Committee analyzes all the files submitted (by all the potential candidates) and selects only those who meet the required conditions. Here I will be able to insist on Dean in such a way that your file will be accepted.

- The finalization of the selection procedure ends with a short interview, in which candidates must submit WHY they want to attend the Naval College courses. At my request, the Dean will appoint someone (one of the examining professors) to help you prepare that interview. No problem here.

- In the summer, the enrollment procedure takes place. You will need to be present in the USA and have a valid passport. You will be staying on the campus of the students and (depending on the results obtained / the interview score) you will receive the scholarship.

I hereby inform you that my help is strictly limited to admission to the College. Once you get there, only your own results will propel you forward.

The military cast is based solely on the real merits of the people who are part of it, so my advice to you is "Do all you can, so that you can be better every day!"

Justice and honor!

Captain Anondo

===

12.30 - The "nephew" Austin wrote again to my captain:

Quote:

Captain Ebierre

Your message is duly understood sir.

Sincerely I want to appreciate you for attending to my requests. Also I appreciate the fact that you will insist that the Dean approves my documents for the interview. Of course I shall do the video and also read my letter of appreciation in the video alongside just to show how serious I am in joining the force.

But there's something I'd like to ask captain if you don't mind sir. Well the interview in question; what is it all about?? Also is that when I will have to be present in the states for the interview or will it be done via any media sources???

Does the professor whom is going to help me prepare for interview knows all what might be asked?? At my stay (and other students as well) at the campus, will we also be wearing the khaki uniform?? I need to know this necessities sir, so that I can as well start my own preparation before getting to the states. Once again sir, I am really grateful for what you have done to me; I promise I won't let you down.

Finally sir, by Monday next week, all the documents will be sent via email to you alongside the video as well as required by the naval war college.

I anticipate your response.

Justice and honour

Austin Richard.

- Honestly, I do not know what to think about this twist of our story... but as long as we get some funny trophies and we keep the idiot busy, everything will be perfect. Twisted Evil

- As usual, my captain Anondo will respond only tomorrow morning, when his submarine will go out again to the ocean surface. Laughing

Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2019 1:31 pm

I had to ask the good Barrister that under Australian law, he would have to send me a contract for legal service that would be usable down under. He sent a one page piece of crap which is not worth posting here. I mentioned that I had a solicitor "friend" examine it. My "friend" told me that it was not a valid contract in Australia and that it was missing a lot of needed information.
I gave him a list of legal sounding BS phrases to make it legal.
So, one of two choices face him. One, he will twig; or two, he will come up with a bigger piece of crap.
I didn't even mention about sending the payment receipt.
So, if he complains to Ms Vicky, please tell him that I am good for the money.

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

I did not hear from the lad either thru Victoria or any other characters. It had me worried....but he finally wrote. He is counting on some quick payments here, and already planning on how to exploit these people for a second scam.

Quote:

I received a mail from Igor today but not from Howard. I hope he's safe. Also I got a mail this morning from Jennifer as well, so I'm hoping that she makes payment today.

The bar owner has claimed to be so rich that the fee I gave to him seems like a penny to him, he should be a good bait for our next higher bill. I guess you should construct the next format for that.

Regardless of the fact that we have other clients pending to respond, we should as well look for more clients so that if some are not functioning anymore, we can have others to lay back on.

Some clients ask too many questions or don't send money quickly enough. He wants new clients who are easy to handle and not spend much time on working the existing stubborn ones. Guess it is true, lads are lazy.

Posted: Wed Mar 13, 2019 9:06 pm

He is still responding to Jennifer despite the endless merry-go-round of questions about the account (which shows no signs of stopping anytime soon).
I guess he is still OK answering her questions because she is clearly trying to make the payment. Or so he thinks. But his bullshit non-answers to her questions are not remotely helping. So it's totally his fault that he doesn't have the money yet.

Quote:

Your mail is duly noted with thanks.

Madam affirmative I know that you Bank with the Bank of America bank; like I said before, it's different banks with different procedures.

More so, as regards to your mail, the Routing number of account is as stated on the details below once again:

SAME ACCOUNT INFO

To be more clarified here madam, the Routing number is this (021000089). In most banks, it's known as the IBAN (i.e the international bank number). So in one word, that is the routing number.

Yesterday was quite hectic for me because I was moving back and forth to make sure that your case file is ready for the compensation claim in your favour.

I believe that before the end of today, I should be getting a copy of the bank wire transfer slip (Bank receipt) from you (you keep believing that, Asshat), so as to enable me proceed without further delay.

Jen is trying so hard (not) to send the money, but Bank of America requires you to know if the target account is a business or personal account, and it requires the address on that account.

Quote:

I have a few minutes between scenes right now, and I am trying to setup the transfer. It's not accepting 111 Wall Street, New York, NY 100043 as Mr. Richards address. (Because that's the address of Citibank. We all know that Austin Richards is in Nigeria!) Is that his business address or personal address? I assume this is a business account since it's for your law firm. Is that correct?

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

Love the stalling! It must be so hard to focus on a movie career and do banking at the same time.

One of my characters is an "escort". She keeps getting long answers that say nothing. He keeps insisting that the associate account, though a personal one, is perfectly fine. She wrote back
this is still a personal account under the name of some jackass named Richard. I have no idea who this panty waist is.

The escort writes to the banker to complain about the lawyer and such messages are always forwarded by the banker so that all communication with the lawyer is out in the open. What a joy it is to forward insults....

Where did this ass of a lawyer go to school and which bar association does he belong to? I am really wondering if you have hired the wrong people here.

Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 12:27 am

He admits to Jennifer that it is a personal account, but insists the address is correct.

Quote:

Actually madam, that address is his personal (account) address just so you know. The address in question as he explained is his personal address. I stated it in my previous mail.

I will wait until the transfer is made before I head back him, so if there's any other questions you need to ask, you can ask so that I can oblige to it before I leave my chamber office.

Oh, there will indeed be MANY more questions. And problems. All of which are his fault. Jen calls him on the address. She's still being polite about it, but very soon, she will start slapping the s#]+ out of him for causing so many delays. After all, it IS difficult trying to get your banking done while filming a movie. (Jen does more TV, but same challenges.)

Quote:

I tried setting up the transfer again using the personal account form, but AGAIN, the address did not match the account. I looked up the 111 Wall St. address on a map, and that's the address of the Citibank headquarters in NY. It's not Mr. Richard's address. That must be why it keeps failing. My bank requires Mr. Richard's personal address that is tied to the account, not the bank's address. Please send me the correct info so I can get this done.

He wrote back immediately (8:22pm EDT):

Quote:

Precisely what address do you need from him? So that I can get it from him immediately. Is it the address of the access bank or which one is it?

Jen: (Lets see what BS he comes up with since Austin llikely lives in Nigeria.)

Quote:

I guess whatever address is on his account. If it's a personal account, then at assume it's his home address.

Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 12:54 am

He just doesn't get it.

Quote:

The personal account address is the bank address which is Citibank New York you filled in the form. In order for you not to make any mistakes here regarding the wire transfer madam, now that you are at the bank (I suppose), all you need to do is take the account details below and give it to the manager or any of their officials there to make this payment once and for all.

SAME ACCOUNT INFO FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME

Please just try and adhere to due instructions, because according to him, he has been receiving payments into the account and no one has asked about his home address.

He thinks Jennifer is physically at the bank. Wrong! And let the slapping begin!

Quote:

Omg of course I'm not at the bank. It's nearly 9 o'clock at night! I have been trying to setup the transfer, but it keeps failing because the Wall Street address is NOT the address associated with Mr Richard's account number! It's the address of the Citibank branch. Not the address of the accountHOLDER, which is Mr. Richards. Why are you making this so freakin difficult? I have had a Very Long day on set, and I just want to get this done. This is the exact information that Bank of America requires to setup the transfer to Mr. Richards...

Accountholder First name:
Last name:
Accountholder Street address:
City:
State:
Zip code:
Routing number:
Account number:
Account type: (checking or savings)

I wonder if he will ever figure out that Jen is talking about a webform on the online banking app. :Lol

Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 1:46 am

Finally, he realizes that Jennifer isn't physically at the bank. Only took him 3 days and 13 emails. And he gives her a non-existent address. Looks like Brookey has been watching to many cheesy 90s reruns on TV.

Quote:

Attn:Ms.Jennifer Harris

Madam,

I have understood your mail. Actually I thought you were going to be at the bank for a Normal deposit. Nevertheless, below are the details from Mr.Austin as requested for the transfer:

Account holder first name: Austin Last name:Richard
Account holder street address: 184729 Watershed Rd. Beverly Hills, CA 90210 USA
City: Beverly Hills
State: California
Zip code: 90210
Routing number: 021000089
Account number:0057925XXX
Account type: Checking

This was the details he just provided to me not quite Long. Please as soon as the transfer is completed do well to attach the copy of the payment slip to me.

Jen called him on the bogus address. As a movie star, she is very familiar with Beverly Hills. There is no Watershed Road there. We shall see what BS he comes up with next.

Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 3:05 am

He's just shocked that the bogus address in Beverley Hills he gave me is "invalid". Rolling Eyes

Quote:

This was the information contained in what I received from my financial secretary; but I'm surprised as to how it came back as invalid.

Madam, if you can adhere to the early instructions, I guess this payment would have been made a long time ago. This is what I suggest you should do; now it's almost midnight and it's not be possible for you to go to the bank at this hour for any payment.

The only way I can receive the fee from Mr.Austin Richard is via direct deposit from your bank to his Bank. That way, they will understand how the transfer is meant to go and be transferred.

Why I'm saying this is because your bank will definitely understand his account because his account is a further credit account as he made me to understand. So the most appropriate way for the transfer to come into the account is via bank deposit from your bank madam.

Therefore, kindly adhere to the instructions as given so that all this delay will be prevented as to enable me proceed without further delay.

Jennifer slapped him upside the head AND hinted that Victoria has a side scam going that Jennifer has paid into for more money than Brookey is asking for. Sparky... feel free to play this anyway you want with him. I figured since he is trying to cut Victoria out, she could play the same game.

Quote:

Are you seriously suggesting that I go to a physical bank Branch? I can't do that. I am on set all day. Call is at 5 or 6 am each day, and we don't finish up until after 7pm or later most days. I don't even know if there is a BofA branch near here. This is why I do all of my banking online. No one actually goes to the bank anymore. That's like so 1998. I pay all of my bills, including to my attorneys online, and I've never had any issues. BofA has the BEST online banking app ever. I just sent $5,000 to Victoria for something else she is handling for me, and it went through just fine. You are the one cause these pointless delays here. So, instead of making stupid suggestions to me, why don't you focus on finding out why your financial secretary LIED to you about where he lives. I hope you are a better attorney than you are an employer. If you and your secretary can't get your collective shit together, I will ask Victoria to recommend another attorney to handle my case.

Baiting Guru Joined: 25 Jul 2017 Posts: 2107

That caught Victoria off guard! LOL Now she has some explaining to do. Victoria and Jennifer have met before back when Jennifer was filming in Toronto. So, the recent $4700 which Victoria made with her partner Sam, can be that $5000 (rough figures). It was a totally unrelated scam......but the lad knows Victoria just pulled one off.
It has something to do with renovating Jennifer's cottage here in Ontario......which is something Sam does.

Maybe Jennifer wants to make cash payment?
Is Mr. Austin Richard available to meet with Jennifer's assistant, somewhere in Los Angeles? Preferably in a public place, with a public webcam? Laughing

===

07.00 - My character, the Captain of the submarine, wrote to Richard Austin ("the nephew" of Brookey).
- In the last few days I corresponded only with "the nephew"... My story gets comic accents: Nigerian scammers who want to become officers in the United States Navy. Laughing

Quote:

Austin,

The preliminary interview contains a series of questions (of general culture, American history and history of our armed forces) that demonstrate the degree of intellectual training of the students.

Of course the teacher who deals with your training knows all these procedures and I am absolutely convinced there will be no problems in this regard.

Theoretically, the preliminary interview is on the Newport base (in the college's campus), but in the case of external applicants (as is your case) the interview can be done through online audio-video applications.

So, your presence in the United States will really be necessary only once you are admitted and you begin your studies.

Of course, in the campus, all students wear the uniforms of the naval college (the port of civilian clothes is only allowed for weekend leave, when students take the opportunity and go out into the city).

Once your file has been admitted, the enrollment procedure will follow: a medical visit that will prove that you are able-bodied for active military service, presenting the student's financial situation (assessing the need to award the scholarship), supporting the aptitude physical tests, etc.

I really hope that you have a good physical condition, because students who are unable to make the physical exercise necessary for the specific training are not admitted.

You did not answer yet to my question about getting the US visa. Does your travel agent handle this issue, or do you need specialized help?

My next few days will be marked by a series of joint military exercises (US Naval forces + US Air Force support) that involve interrupting civil communications, so I probably will not be able to respond to any email by the beginning of next week.

Justice and honor!

Captain Anondo

In fact, I will have a few days of relaxation with some friends of mine (offroad safari + barbeque + wine). I'll be back Sunday night.

07.30 - Half an hour later, "the nephew" writes to my character.

Quote:

Captain Ebierre sir,

I am overwhelmed by your prompt response captain; permission to speak sir?? I must say that you are indeed ready to assist me get into the naval war college.

Sincerely speaking sir, people like you are very hard to comeby this days. I want to sincerely thank you for showing that support and affection to this young lad you call son.

I am now convinced from the content of mail you wrote to me that all will be fine as the case maybe be. I might not be familiar with American culture and history (about the armed force), but I sure hope that I get well prepared for the interview in due time sir. Also, I'm happy that we students shall be putting on the official khaki of the US Navy force while on camp.

Affirmative sir, I am in a good physical condition. In fact, most times when I do play football, I play for almost two hours without having to complain of chest pain or any other disorders. My friends around wonders if I'm a machine Lol.

The visa In you asked me about, my dad's travel agent might not be able to get such visa applicable on my behalf. So maybe a recommendation from your perspective will be very much appreciated and acknowledged because that will grant easy access for me to obtaining my visa here at the American embassy.

Thank you for informing me about your work by next week, at least I won't be bothered if I couldn't get a response from you after I write a mail to you sir. I will already know that you're very busy with helping in the Air force.

I hope I'm not asking to much questions, but you won't blame me captain because this is my first time coming to the states and not only that, I will as well be joining the Naval war college. The special aid (probably from your end with your assistance) for my visa procurement, how does he intend to help me get the 10years visa in my favour?? Is he based here in Africa or in the states?? More so captain, can students in the Naval war college also be working outside the camp?? Or they will just remain in the camp??

I hope that your operations by next week is successful sir; my father sends his regards. He hopes to be meeting with you soon, maybe when you're opportuned to come to Africa.

Justice and honour!

Austin Richard.

08.25 - All these things are becoming extremely funny and I think "uncle" Brooke will abandon the Well Fargo scamm in favor of the new story with his "nephew" Austin. We will see. Laughing

- My Captain to the "nephew" .

Quote:

Austin,

I will respond punctually because I do not have much time today.

You will have a few months to prepare for the admission questionnaires. That teacher will help and advise you, you do not have to worry about it.

Ok, then physical fitness tests can be passed easily. It's good. The teacher will also guide you on these physical fitness tests.

I will contact my travel agent, who will help you get US Visa. I do not know the legal requirements, but he will deal with everything that means bureaucratic formalities.

You will have to co-operate with him, and at some point you will have to go to the American Embassy in your country and submit the pre-prepared documentation.

In the last question, on work outside the campus, the answer is negative. But you will anyway receive the scholarship throughout the college.

Justice and honor!

Captain Anondo

I will try to get it from him:
- CV (Resume),
- ID National Card copy,
- passport copy,
- Criminal Record,
- medical tests,
- various photos & biometric datas,
- to complete one special US Visa form (50 pages),
- to write a few essays about America (history, politics, economy),
- to write a "Letter of Thanks" to the Naval Forces,
- to send a video recording, in which he reads his resume and that letter,
- to send various video recordings on "Physical Fitness Skills",
- other funny trophies.

Laughing

08.45 - The "nephew" Austin wrote to my Captain:

Quote:

Captain sir,

Thank you for your prompt response.

I clearly understood all you have said therein. So the legal documentation from your travel agent concerning the 10years visa will be sent to me to present it to the American embassy in my country.

Okay it's good that we won't be working outside the camp; it's safer there sir. More so, I will waiting for your travel agent to contact me regarding the visa.

Thank you sir.

Justice and honour

Austin Richard

Still nothing from the "uncle" Brookey. Laughing

I wonder if the nephew should send some pictures of himself in a naval uniform and the captain can suggest if it is acceptable to be included on his application? Or a video application (a test one which the captain can critique to assist the nephew?)

you are a confuse man You don"t trust any body is a big
problem in your life. make this payment.

It is strange that sometimes, even off script this guy has pretty good English. Then you get notes like that. I just love the advice to help me deal with my trust "issues" is to send money.

Posted: Thu Mar 14, 2019 8:12 pm

^^Birlic - Jennifer was planning to suggest meeting Mr. Richard in Beverly Hills, but the address was so bogus that I just HAD to call him on it. I'm trying to get him to come up with a different account that we can report. Since the lad and his "assistant" (assuming that's even a real person and not just him) are in Nigeria, a webcam appearance in LA isn't realistic. But nice thinking!

Sparky - sorry that Jennifer got Victoria in trouble. The gambit did work exactly how I wanted it to. The lad took the slapping very well, and Jen backed up Victoria's story about the cabin. And it shows just how much Jen trusts Victoria, thus keeping Victoria in the higher position of power in this scammy relationship. Clearly, he still trusts Victoria because he asked me to send his retainer to her. I will find an excuse not to do that.

Brookey (appropriately ashamed of his behavior but still brazen enough to ask about Jen's business with Victoria - no doubt to verify Victoria's story):

Quote:

Madam you must forgive me for what happened yesterday; I will have to make thorough research about the information contained in the details of that address he provided to me.

I was only doing all I can to make sure that you are able to make payment and forward to me the slip madam so that by Thursday, I will be getting prepared to take things up legally on your behalf.

With that being said, I'm quite happy to hear that you made payment to Victoria on something she helped you to handle; not that I'm being to inquisitive of things around here, but can shed more light on what she helped you on as my client??

Also as the case maybe, the account information of my chamber's financial secretary sent to you earlier before now is a further credit account, I made that clear in my previous mail before this one inclusive.

In essence, all I'm trying to say is that you go ahead and make my retainer fee payment to Ms.Victoria Park account details as you did with the initial help she assisted you with. At least I am certain that I will still get my full legal payment settled without having any hitch.

Once again I ask for your apologies Jennifer; ever since I was offered to handle this compensation claim in your favour, I've been so restless in making sure that I get all necessary preparations and arrangements ready to take up this claim legally on your behalf.

I hope you find a way in your heart to forgive me; but I want to assure that I will do whatever I can to investigate that address from my financial secretary sent to you. I will give you update regarding that.

Jen manages to forgive him and slap him at the same time, while confirming Victoria's story about the payment to her.

Quote:

You are right - you have stressed me out, so you had better get your shit together. Lawyers a are a dime a dozen, so I'm sure I can find another one to handle this Wells Fargo matter if you prove incompetent. However, Victoria speaks highly of you, so I am willing to give you another chance.

It's not any of your god dammed business what I do with Victoria. She has been my Canadian banker for several years because I needed to keep accounts in Canada while I was working on a TV show that filmed up there. If you must know, I fell in love with Canada. It's an incredible beautiful country, and the people are so friendly without being overly obnoxious about my celebrity status. I decided to buy some properly up there on one of the many secluded lakes. Victoria hooked me up with a real estate broker and made the transaction seemless. I am currently having some work done on the property, and she connected me with a good contractor. She is facilitating the payments to him for his work because I am no longer living full time in Canada. She helps move the money between the US and Canada so the contractor doesn't have to pay currency conversion fees or extra taxes for doing business with a US citizen. None of that has anything to do with my legal matter with you, so stop sticking your nose into things that are none of your business and focus on what I hired you to do.

The lad has sent a note to get Victoria to encourage people to pay up. Between his urging and hers, money should just be flowing in.

Please kindly get in touch with the following clients:

Ms.Elizabeth D*****
Mr.Howard Van N*****
Mr.Igor M******

You know the reason why I'm asking for more clients; I want to make sure that as this partnership of our new business, we must get at least $40k at least.

I have to give this guy credit, he set a goal of $40K and is determined to meet it, even if the current client crop is not paying fast enough. He also claims to have written to some of the more difficult clients to encourage them to pay, but it's a lie. I'm playing those characters and he has virtually dropped them since it's too much work. Sad when you cannot trust your scamming partner.

********

One of my characters rec'd a message, and the lad has been frustrated with delays etc. So he finally asked him if he would like bank details to (at last!) make the payment. The "client" responds........

Send details of where to send money please. I cannot afford to have you delaying this further.

That should make the lad happy!

Elite Baiter Joined: 19 Apr 2008 Posts: 1301

Oh, 2 of those characters are mine.

1. Elizabeth’s oayment fell through, quelle surprise. However she will try again.
2. Igor’s still expecting his CONDENSATION payment but his mangled English is certainly not helping this to go smoothly. No doubt he will also hit problems with the paying account.

I will use Victoria’s prompting to pay as a further excuse to slow down things.

One of my characters has rec'd the "usual" Citibank pig to use. Except this time it had a third routing destination attached to it. It was in Nigeria. So of course this begged the question as to why a Canadian lawyer would need to have his fees sent to Lagos. The explanation was that his "associate" was on a holiday, was afraid of being robbed, so he opened a Nigerian bank account to keep his money in while there. He has used it ever since.

Makes perfect sense to me!

Jennifer is still angry about the "financial secretary" lying about where he lives. Her slapping of the lad for this has caused him to admit to being retarded.

Retardation brings about delay in a business. Madam, if we keep looking at the mistakes made by my financial secretary, I'm not certain that we might move forward in having your compensation amount released and transferred to your bank account in the states.

So please madam, on behalf of myself, and the financial secretary, I ask for your pardon and Mercy. Let's bury the hatchet and proceed forward in this case. In my previous mail, I stated that I would want to receive the fee in the banker's account (Ms.Victoria); but you have said nothing concerning that.

Therefore I need your permission to get in touch with her so that she can provide you with her account details as to where my retainer fee will be remitted into.

His retardation is definitely causing delays, which is perfectly fine with me. And Jennifer won't pay his retainer fee to Victoria because it wouldn't be tax deductible. That darned IRS and all of their silly tax laws.

Madam,

Your mail is well acknowledged.

I don't like doing business with people who lie to me. As an attorney, you are supposed to represent MY interests. I need to be able to trust you. How can I do that when your employees are lying not only to me but also to you? And I can't pay YOUR retainer to Victoria. She is able to facilitate payments to the contractor doing work on my cabin because that is personal. I pay it out of my personal funds. A retainer fee to an attorney (you) is business, so it comes out of my business account. It must be paid to your firm to be tax deductible. It can't go through Victoria's personal account. That would be illegal. So, I need to pay it to your firm's account. I don't understand why you didn't give that to me in the first place. Send me that account information, and I will get the retainer to you asap. I am getting tired of your retardation causing delays in my business.

He seems to have trouble explaining the convoluted payment system he is using.

Quote:

In my mail of yesterday I did explain that the CitiBank is just the American bank that the access bank PLC is banking with. The Access Bank is just the intermediary bank as I explained yesterday.

In one word, the Citibank account details is in his name which simply means the account belongs to him. More so, I do not know why he didn't establish the account much earlier while he was still in the states before going to Africa; but I will insist that he opens a Canadian account as well.

Nevertheless, I urge you to make use of the account details as I will still be the individual to receive it. So you have nothing to worry about. Should the money go to the Nigerian bank or the American bank before getting to the final beneficiary, all still has a significant purpose which sending my retainer fee to me.

If we keep having this deliberation on this matter, we cannot advance further. So please try and understand that time is now a fluid.

My character is really confused since it seems rather strange that an American living in NY City is using a Lagos bank account to receive money for work done by a Canadian lawyer! Once he has been squeezed fully on this matter, we will begin asking why he sent me an Indiana address for the associate when he claims he lives in New York. That should eat up a few days.

Quote:

Sir

I agree that we cannot move forward deliberating on this matter, therefore I need this resolved, rather than talking in circles. From what you have said, this man, Austin Richard, who resides in New York, does not have an American account, but rather has chosen to keep his money in Nigeria. Yet, you also just stated he owns the Citibank account. So why is this money being forwarded to Nigeria? There is something you are not telling me about this and I despair of ever understanding this nonsense. This should be a simple matter but it is being made more and more complex at your end by the minute.

Another character is being ignored, though the lad tells Victoria he is writing to her and she will not respond. Victoria got involved to help get things moving and found the client was incensed at being ignored and being lied about. She wrote in anger to the banker......who of course forwarded the insults to the lad with delight.

Quote:

Dear Mrs Park

I have written to the lawyer and not heard back, so when you forwarded the message to me that he is waiting to hear from me, I grew very angry. I have sent messages on the 3rd and 7th of March and heard nothing in two weeks. Who is this man who thinks he can lie that he is waiting to hear from me! I despair of working with a liar, esp. one who supposedly represents the law and is standing there with his hand out waiting for money.

Can you please get him to stop lying and start replying? Failing that, a referral to a proper lawyer would suffice.

Since this one client is reluctant to send money to Nigeria, the lawyer, despite saying "take it or leave it", has suddenly found other means available. Hopefully the "pig floodgates" are about to open!

Thankfully the head of my I.T department in the chamber happens to have an account of that nature that receives dollars. So I seek your forgiveness and understanding until the end of today to get back to you with his account details.

Sent him initial mail.

Hopefully will be fun.

Lord, he reported to Victoria that he thinks he can squeeze a higher retainer fee from you since you sound rich. Here's hoping he tries!
