Mohammed Ali has a plan and Captain Mal has a part to play.

Quote:

Before I introduce myself, I wish to inform you that this letter is not a hoax mail and I urge you to treat it serious. This letter must come to you as a big surprise, but I believe it is only a day that people meet and become great friends and business partners. Please I want you to read this letter very carefully and I must apologize for barging this message into your mail box without any formal introduction due to the urgency and confidentiality of this business and I know that this message will come to you as a surprise. Please this is not a joke and I will not like you to joke with it ok,
With due respect to your person and much sincerity of purpose, I make this contact with you as I believe that you can be of great assistance to me. My name is Mr Mohammad Ali, from Burkina Faso, West Africa. I work in African Development Bank (ADB) as telex manager, please see this as a confidential message and do not reveal it to another person and let me know whether you can be of assistance regarding my proposal below because it is top secret.
I am about to retire from active Banking service to start a new life but I am skeptical to reveal this particular secret to a stranger. You must assure me that everything will be handled confidentially because we are not going to suffer again in life. It has been 10 years now that most of the greedy African Politicians used our bank to launder money overseas through the help of their Political advisers. Most of the funds which they transferred out of the shores of Africa were gold
and oil money that was supposed to have been used to develop the continent. Their Political advisers always inflated the amounts before transferring to foreign accounts, so I also used the opportunity to divert part of the funds hence I am aware that there is no official trace of how much was transferred as all the accounts used for such transfers were being closed after transfer. I acted as the Bank Officer to most of the politicians and when I discovered that they were using me to succeed in their greedy act; I also cleaned some of their banking records from the Bank files and no one cared to ask me because the money was too much for them to control. They laundered over $5billion Dollars during the process.
Before I send this message to you, I have already diverted ($17.4million Dollars) to an escrow account belonging to no one in the bank. The bank is anxious now to know who the beneficiary to the funds is because they have made a lot of profits with the funds. It is more than Eight years now and most of the politicians are no longer using our bank to transfer funds overseas. The ($17.4million Dollars) has been laying waste in our bank and I don want to retire from the bank without transferring the funds to a foreign account to enable me share the proceeds with the receiver (a foreigner). The money will be shared 60% for me and 40% for you. There is no one coming to ask you about the funds because I secured everything. I only want you to assist me by providing a reliable bank account where the funds can be transferred.
You are not to face any difficulties or legal implications as I am going to handle the transfer personally. If you are capable of receiving the funds, do let me know immediately to enable me give you a detailed information on what to do. For me, I have not stolen the money from anyone because the other people that took the whole money did not face any problems. This is my chance to grab my own life opportunity but you must keep the details of the funds secret to avoid any leakages as no one in the bank knows about the my plans.
Please get back to me if you are interested and capable to handle this project, I shall intimate you on what to do when I hear from your confirmation and acceptance. If you are capable of being my trusted associate, do declare your consent to me. I am looking forward to hear from you immediately for further information.

After some initial scepticism, and some backing and forthing about a fee for a form, I took Mal out of the picture for a bit with surgery on shrapnel left in him from war injuries. When he came back online after a couple of weeks, explaining that he was in rehab and unable to know when he'd be able to pay the fee, the Lad was all heart.

Quote:

Thanks for your mail but I don’t think you are serious anymore to continue this transaction with me; you have no idea about when you will be able to make the payment? I don’t understand what you mean by that work Ok.
If you know that you are no longer interested to finish this transaction with me, then you should better let me know so that I can look for someone else Ok.

Mal was icy in reply.

Quote:

I'll make allowances for your poor English and the fact that you are a civilian, but with reservations.
The surgeons had to perform major surgery on my leg to remove shrapnel that had lurked there since an IED blast in Fallujah back in 2005. If not removed, my femoral artery might have been pierced causing my death. That, to me, comes well ahead of business. The rehab is lengthy and painful, but necessary, and likewise takes priority over business.
If you can't understand that my life is more important than your gorram riches, you are a soulless psychopath and a failure as a human being.

Phone calls followed.

Quote:

So you are an asshole - all you could say was "Hello? Hello?" because you were too fucking scared to speak with me.

The Lad tried conciliation.

Quote:

Thanks for your mail, my good Brother, I am not scared to speak with you, is just I am not happy with you Ok. I am not happy with the way you handle this project that is the reason why I did not want to speak with you on phone Ok.
How you still ready to continue this transaction with me or I should contact another partner to continue from where you stop? Call me now I will speak with you Ok.

Mal was abrupt.

Quote:

Fuck you, asshole.

And I assumed it was over.

But three days later...

Quote:

How are you today? Hope you are fine, I just want to inform you that i will pay the required amount to the bank so that they can transfer those funds into your bank account Ok. I will pay the application fees to the bank as soon as I hear from you Ok.

Mal was nonplussed.

Quote:

I thought this whole deal was dead, buried, and forgotten.

But no!

Quote:

Thanks for your mail, we started this transaction together and I want us to finish it together because I don’t want us to lose those funds just because these fees, meanwhile I am ready to pay the required amount to the bank tomorrow so that they can send you the application form.
I will send somebody to pay the application fees directly to the bank tomorrow with your name, meanwhile I want you to send an email to the bank urgently and inform them that somebody will send the application fees to them tomorrow on your behalf Ok.

Well, now I know what the Lad will put up with - I'll have to push him harder next time!

After you telling him about your needing surgery to save your life, he's not happy how you handle this transaction? He was probably holding off hope that you would die after squeezing you dry of all your money.

Like Rowan, I wish I had a whipping boy like that. Laughing

The latest; Mal received a form from the banker Lad and Mal fired a question at Mohammad.

Quote:

I have no idea about Swift codes, routing numbers, Iban numbers, Sort codes, and correspondent banks; enlighten me please.

He ignored the question, Mal persisted, so...

Quote:

Thanks for your mail, I will explain to you one after the other,
1. Swift code? Your bank account swift code.
2. Routing numbers? Your account routing numbers
3. Iban numbers? Your bank iban numbers
4. Sort codes? Your account sort code
5. Correspondent bank? Did your bank have any correspondent bank in your country? If yes, fill the form with the name of the correspondent bank.

Mal didn't take that well.

Quote:

That is not an explanation. That is simple repetition and no help at all - thanks for sweet fox alpha.

If the Lad gets annoyed, Mal will respond in kind.
