Thus far, Andy has been the most faithful scammer to date. I hear from him once, sometimes twice a day. Here is the proposal:

FROM: ANDY EZE.

MIDDLE BANK COTONOU , BENIN REPUBLIC.

Dear Sir,

In order to transfer out (USD 45 MILLION) Forty Five million United States Dollars) from MIDDLE BANK OF

AFRICA BENIN [MBA]. I have the courage to ask for your assistance to handle this important and confidential

business believing that you will never let me down either now or in future. I am ANDY EZE,the MANAGER of

MIDDLE BANK OF AFRICA ,BENIN [MBA]. There is an account opened in this bank in 1980 and since

1990 nobody has operated on this account again. After going through some old files in the records, I discovered

that if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing.

The owner of this account is Mr. DESTIN PAL, a foreigner, and a miner at D&D INVESMENT CO, a

geologist by profession and he died since 1990.No other person knows about this account or any thing

concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that this

company does not know anything about this account and the amount involved is (USD 45M).

I want to transfer the [USD45M] Forty Five million United States Dollars into a safe foreigners account

abroad. I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money cannot be approved to a local bank

here, but can only be approved to any foreign account because the money is in us dollars and the former

owner of the account is Mr.DESTIN PAL is a foreigner too.

I know that this message will come to you as a surprise as we don't know our selves before,but be

sure that it is real and a genuine business. I only got your contact address from my secretary who

operates computer with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business. You are the only

person that I have contacted in this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the

next step to take urgently.

 

Send also your private phone and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the

deposit.I want us to meet face to face or sign a binding agreement to bind us together so that you can

receive this money into a foreign account or any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. I

will fly to your country for withdrawal and sharing and other investments.

 

I am contacting you because of the need to involve a foreigner with foreign account and foreign

beneficiary. I need your full co-operation to make this work fine because the management is ready to

approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account,which I will give to you

later immediately,if you are able and with capability to handle such amount in strict confidence and trust

according to my instructions and advice for our mutual benefit because this opportunity will never come again

in my life.

 

I need truthful person in this business because I don't want to make mistake. I need your strong

assurance and trust. With my position now in the office I can transfer this money to any foreigner's

reliable account, which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending my physical

arrival in your country for sharing. I will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money

leaving no trace to any place. You can also come to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this

remittance in your presence and two of us will fly to your country so at least two days ahead of the money going

into the account. I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and

receive this fund in your account.I will use my position and influence to effect legal approvals and onward transfer

of this money to your account with appropriate clearance forms of the ministries and foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be

for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.

 

I look forward to your earliest reply.

Yours Truly,

MR.ANDY EZE.

Sounds good...I'll bite:

Mr. Eze,

I read with great interest your business proposal, and think that we can be of assistance to one another. I have recently come into some good fortune, and try to help someone out whenever I can.

Let me tell you about a man named Jed. I'm a poor mountaineer that could barely keep my family fed. Then, one fine day, I was shootin' at some food, and up from the ground came a bubblin' crude. (Oil that is, texas T)

First thing you know, I was a millionare, and my kin folks said Jed, move away from here, so I have relocated with my wealth, and try to help people out as much as I can.

Please forward all relevant information on this transaction.

Jed Clampett

REGARDS

MR ANDY EZE.

So it looks like I get to go to Holland to get my money...not too bad. I need to visit my friends in the red light district.

Mr. Eze,  

Thank you for you prompt reply to my contact with you regarding the transfer of these funds, and I look forward to working with you on this arrangement. My concubine, who I refer to as “Granny” said that I should let you know that as a friend and business associate you are welcome to come visit us in Beverly Hills and be a guest in our home. Granny whips up some mighty good vittles, and we all like to sit around our fancy dining room table together and visit. Then, after dinner, we would love to show you the cement pond that we have in the back yard.   Here is the requested information:  

Bank Name: Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills

Account Holder: Mr. Jed Clampett

Bank executor: Mr. Milburn Drysdale

Account number: 3141592653589793238

Home address: 518 Crestview Drive , Beverly Hills , CA 90210  

I noticed that you have an address in Benin Republic , and I have a charge card from Banana Republic. If it will make things easier, I can send you that account number as well. Just let me know.   I also have a couple of humble requests that I require of my business associates. The first is that you send me a photograph of yourself holding a sign with my name on it, so that I can see what you look like for when I travel to Holland to meet you. It is also customary where I come from for business partners to use nicknames when making business deals. My friends call me “The sperminator,” and I would be honored if you would address me as such in future correspondence. I am not sure if people use nicknames in your country, but you would honor me if you would allow me to call you Eazy-E, which is a nickname that I used to use with a former business associate who passed away a few years ago. He was a close friend from my days in the streets of Compton , and being able to address you as such would be a pleasant reminder of the days when we used to cruise around the streets in his six four, jocking the women, and slapping the hoes.   I also need your assurance that you are a God-Fearing man who has taken on the lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour. I will not deal with anyone who is not a soldier in Christ's army, and only with your assurance that you are a brother in Christ can we continue as brothers in business.  

Y'all come back now, ya hear?  

Jed “The Sperminator” Clampett.

Yes, that is the real Clampetts address and bannk. The account number is the first dozen or so digits of Pi.

DEAR Hugh G. Rection,  

I WILL SCAN MY PASSPORT AND ID AND SEND TO YOU BY TOMORROW.   I WANT YOU TO ANSWER ON THESE QUESTIONS.  

[1]HOW OLD ARE YOU?.  

[2]CAN YOYU SCAN YOUR PASSPORT AND SEND TO ME?  

[3]HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE YOU TO GET VISA TO HOLLAND FOR THE SIGNING OF THE FUND?.

[4] WILL YOU LIKE THIS MONEY TO BE TRANSFERED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT DIRECTLY FROM MIDDLE BANK?

[5]IF YES, THE BANK WILL CHARGE YOU $12,000 USD WHICH YOU WILL BE ASKED TO PAY BEFORE TRANSFERING YOUR MONEY.

[6]IF YOU WILL PREFER TO GO TO HOLLAND FOR THE CLEARING OF THE FUND, THE OFFSHORE OFFICE WILL CHARGE YOU $15,000USD.

[7]ARE YOU READY TO AND CAPABLE OF PAYING FOR THE BILL?.

The bastard didn't call me by the right name, and he didn't sign his email. This guy seems to need some training in business etiquette.

Dear Eazy E,

Whoa Nelly! You sure are a direct man, aren't you? I reckon that we will work out well as business associates together as soon as we make all of these arrangements and get together. Here in America I get so many fast talking city slickers who don't come right down to the point, and I'm glad to see that you cut right to the chase.

One thing that I have noticed is that you have not yet addressed me by my nickname, the Sperminator. Perhaps this is not customary in your country, but down in these parts, it is actually something of an insult. But I don't reckon that you knew this, and so we can proceed as planned.

You have also not confirmed for me that you are a God-fearin' man, and this is absolutely crucial in order for us to do business. In America , we have many religious leaders such as Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Jimmy Swaggart who are believed to be directly descended from Christ himself, and I made a promise to Mr.Drysdale that I would only deal with a Christian man.

Now that we got those things straight, I'll get to your questions:

1. I am 54 years old
2. My passport will be scanned and sent to you, but right now I am having some problems with the negative access power coupling on my scanner's flux capacitor, so it will be a few days. Please remember to send me a photo of yourself holding a sign with my Christian name and nickname (Jed “The Sperminator” Clampett). I need this to confirm that you are a real person. As a good faith gesture, I have included a current photo of myself and my family. I am seated on the front row with my niece Ellie Mae, and Jethro is in the back row on the right, next to granny.
3. I can get my visa within 3 business days, and will work on it after I have received your picture.

As for the transfer of the money, I need to confer with my attorneys at the firm of Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe on the best way to proceed. I need to also speak to my accounting office on how best to maintain this transaction for tax purposes. I have an appointment with my attorneys this coming week, and as soon as I get an answer, I will forward the information. Most likely I will use my account at Commerce Bank of Beverly Hills , but if this changes, I will advise. I may visit Holland to expedite this transaction, because I wish to smoke a lot of hash and patronize the prostitutes in the red light district. When and if I travel there, I will coordinate with you so that we can do this together (your treat).

As for your last question, I can assure you that I am quite capable of paying this bill, and I am somewhat offended that you would ask such a question. When I sold the truck and Moved to Beverly (Hills, that is), I found myself surrounded on all sides by swimming pools and movie stars. I have a parking lot full of cars, and I light my Cuban cigars with lit bundles of $100 bills. We have a saying in America that goes “bling bling” that refers to an individual of great wealth, and I can assure you that I do in fact bling bling. I am willing to let this transgression slide, because you do not know all of our customs, but please rest assured that I have sufficient resources for this transaction.

Anyway, partner, I must return to the cement pond and assist Jethro with his cipering. I look forward to concluding this deal.

Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

Jed “The Sperminator” Clampett

And here is the family photo that was sent

He gets it right in the next email:

DEAR JED CLAMPETT(SPERMINATOR).  

THANKS FOR YOUR MAIL,I WILL CLEARIFY YOU ON SOME CERTAIN ISSUES WHICH YOU NEED TO KNOW. I AM 58YRS OLD.  

1.I AM A VERY GOOD CHRISTAIN,AND I AM INTO THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE OF MY BANKS POOR PENSION SCHEME AFTER RETIREMENT,AND I WANT TO PROCESS THIS TANSACTION WITH EVERY LEGAL DUE PROCESS IN CONFORMITY WITH OUR BANKS POLICY ON INTERNATIONAL INHERITED FUNDS TRANSFER.YOU KNOW I AM ABOUT TO RETIRE AND I WANT TO RETIRE WITH A VERY GOOD REPUTATION.  

2. I AM A LITTLE BIT SCEPTICAL ABOUT YOUR SOCIAL LIFE ,THIS IS BECAUSE CONSIDERING MY AGE AND THIS TRANSACTION YOUR MAILS TO ME SEEMS TO BE A CHILDS PLAY AND THIS IS A LIFE OPPORTUNITY WHICH I DONT WANT TO JOKE WITH.THIS BECAME OBVIOUS BECAUSE YOU STARTED BY ENUMERATING THE SOCIAL ASPECTS OF THE WAY YOU TEND SPENDING THE MONEY ON PROSTIUTES,CLUBBING AND ENJOYING AT THE PUBS. I FEEL YOU SHOULD BE TALKING ABOUT THE SECURITY AND THE FAMILIARITY AND TRUST OF EACH OTHER AND THE BUSINESS WE HAVE AT HAND?

3.ANYWAY IT MIGHT BE YOUR LIFE STAYLE WHICH I BELEIVE WILL NOT AFFECT THIS TRANSACTION ESPECIALLY MY SHARE OF THE FUNDS.

4.MOST IMPORTANTLY I WILL ADVICE YOU AND GUIDE YOU ON THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE I INITAITED IT AND I AM ALSO A BANKER HERE.   (A)I WILL LIKE YOU TO TAKE MY DIRECTIVES IF YOU WANT US TO EXCELL ON THIS TRANSACTION.YOU WILL NOT HAVE TO INFORM YOUR BANK NOW THAT YOU ARE EXPECTING MONEY,THIS IS BECAUSE THEY MIGHT ASK YOU A QUESTION YOU MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER,BUT I WILL INFORM YOU WHEN TO DO SO.   (B)IT IS NOT NECESSARY YOU INFORM YOUR ATTORNEY NOW OR ANY PERSON BECAUSE THIS TRANSACTION IS VERY CONFIDENTAIL JUST BETWEN ME AND YOU. YOU KNOW ONE THING LAWYERS DONT BELEIVE THAT IN A DEAL THERE ARE SOME INVOLVEMENTS OF BRIBES AND GRATIFICATIONS TO ACQUIRE SOME ENDORSEMENTS IN THIS KIND OF TRANSACTION,AND OUR BANKING SYSTEM IS NOT EXACTLY THE SAME WITH YOURS,SO ATIMES LAWYERS MIGHT WANT IT DONE THE WAY IT IS DONE IN YOUR COUNTRY THEREBY CAUSING AN INFRINGEMENT AND DELAY TO THE ENTIRE PROCESS. I WILL GUIDE YOU ACCORDINGLY. I HAVE HANDED IN THE ENTIRE INFORMATIONS TO MY LAWYER WHO IS ABLY REPRESENTING YOU HERE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT RIGHT HERE ON THE GROUND.AND I BEING A STAFF OF THIS BANK WILL NOT SHOW MY FULLY INVOLVEMENT BECAUSE IT WILL BE SUSPICIOUS,SO MY LAWYER WILL PROCESS AND PROCURE THE ENTIRE DOCUMENTS ON YOUR BEHALF TILL THE APPROVAL FOR YOUR REMITTANCE IS ENDORSED.   SO TOMORROW THE LAWYER WILL PROCEED TO THE HIGH COURT TO SWEAR AN AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF YOUR CLAIM,HE WILL PROCEED TO THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE TO ACQUIRE THE LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION,WHICH PROVES THAT YOU ARE THE NEXT OF KIN TO LATE DESTIN PAL.SO OTHER INFORMATIONS WAS SUBMITTED TO THE INTERNATIONAL REMITTANCE DEPARTMENT OF THE BANK AND THEY HAVE COMMENCED ACTION,SO ANY RELEVANT DOCUMENTS THAT HAS BEEN ENDORSED I WILL SCAN IT AND ATTACH TO YOU FOR YOUR RECORDS.PLEASE IT WILL BE FOR YOUR PERSONAL CONSUMPTION ONLY. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED AND CONFIRM IF YOU RECEIVED MY INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT AND BANK ID.

ANDY EZE

Great. all the scammers in the world, and I get a prude. Maybe he'll loosen up a bit after he hets his 60% of the nonexistent money. I also got this gem of a file attachment.

Exact same pic on both IDs....interesting coincidence.

Eazy E,

Thank you for your quick reply to my email. I did receive your copy of the passport, and it came through well. I appreciate you sharing that information with me, and it confirms for me that you are who you say that you are.

Please accept my humble apologies for anything that I wrote in my last email that you might have found offensive. I have done a variety of deals like this in the past, and my business partners have very much enjoyed to celebrate in style, and that has included a variety of recreational activities. I do understand that not everyone shares this attitude with me, and I will be mindful of this in our dealings together. As I have mentioned before, I too am a Christian, God-fearing man, and I have every confidence that he will take our hand and guide us through this process.

Per your request, I did not share the specifics of this highly confidential deal with anyone, but I did consult my attorney Benjamin Matlock, esq. on this matter, and for purposes of avoiding excessive tax penalties, I will need to make all financial dealings through my company. This will also allow me to deduct the cost of my trip to Holland from my taxes.

You indicated that you might need financial assistance to support your trip to Holland , and Mr. Matlock said that this will only be possible if you are employed as a contractor with our company. Fortunately, the board of directors has given me fast track approval to grant you preferred contractor status if you provide me with the following:

  1. A written request to become a contractor of E. Rection & company. This can be done as an email message, and you need to describe your employment experience, and provide a couple of character references.
  2. Proper identification. The ID that you sent to me should be satisfactory, but if we need further ID, I'll contact you.
  3. Attached you will find a copy of our company Logo. I will need you to have a copy of this logo printed onto card stock, and I will need a photograph of you holding the sign. The sign needs to be large enough for the print to be legible in the photograph, because this photo will be used for your contractor ID credentials.

The board meets next Thursday, April 22, and if you can have items 1 and 3 to me by that time, then we can go ahead and proceed with the other arrangements.

I look forward to completing this deal with you, my brother in Christ, and to the time when we can sit together and drink a toast to our new prosperity.

Y'all come back now, ya hear?

Jed “Sperminator” Clampett

And here is the company logo that he was sent....I like it,

DEAR Jed Sperminator Clampett,

I RECEIVED YOUR MAIL. THE HIGH COURT LEGAL DOCUMENTS HAS BEEN GOTTEN BY BARRISTER EKETT JOHN REPRESENTING YOU AS YOUR ATTORNEY AND HAVE BEING SUBMITTED TO THE MIDDLE BANK YESTERDAY. HE WILL SEND THE COPIES OF THE LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO YOU AS SOON AS THE SERVER IMPROVES. YOU SHOULD GET YOUR VISA READY FOR YOUR TRIP TO HOLLAND BEFORE THE BANK APPROVAL WHICH WILL COME UP ANY TIME NEXT WEEK. AS SOON AS THEY APPROVE THE FUND, THEY WILL SEND THE APPROVAL LETTER TO YOU THROUGH THE LEGAL UNIT OF THE BANK. BUT I WANT YOU TO MAIL DR TEDDY AMAH THE HEAD OF THE LEGAL UNIT WITH HIS EMAIL ADDRESS.....[ amahted_lawyer@yahoo.com ] ASK HIM TO HELP YOU AND GET YOUR FUND WITH CONTRACT NO;FMW/BR42/RWS064XM/90APPROVED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. TELL THAT YOU WILL LIKE TO CLAIM THE FUND FROM THE OFFSHORE PAYMENT OFFICE IN HOLLAND.THAT YOU DON'T LIKE BANK TO BANK TRANSFER. WHATEVER HE TELLS YOU, PLEASE ALWAYS LET ME KNOW FOR QUICK ADDVICE. SECONDLY, I DID NOT TELL YOU THAT I WILL BE COMING TO HOLLAND. YOU WILL ONLY SEE ME IN YOUR COUNTRY AFTER YOU RECEIVED THIS MONEY INTO YOUR ACCOUNT. FUTHERMORE, BEING REGISTERED AS A CONTRACTOR IN YOUR COMPANY, IT SERVES AS NOTHING AS REGARDS THE TRANSFER. I WILL COME UP TO YOU FOR MY SHARE OF THE FUND AND INVESTMENTS WHICH I HOPE YOU WILL CERTAINLY HELP ME TO INVEST PROPERLY. YOU WILL SEND TO ME THE SUM OF $5,000USD FROM THE TOTAL MONEY RECEIVED IN HOLLAND FOR MY TRIP TO YOUR COUNTRY.

REMAIN BLESS,

ANDY.

Eazy E,

Thanks for your hard work on the recovery of these funds, and I look forward to reviewing the documents when they come in. I will draft a document to send to Dr. Amah Re: the disposition of the assets, and have my vice president, Mr. Lumbergh review them. I have told Mr. Lumbergh that I'm going to need him to deprioritize all of his current assignments, and consider this a primary action. I really feel that this forthcoming deal will create a fantastic synergy between our two great organizations, and I eagerly await the disposition of this deal. We did issue a new memo in the office regarding the one change that we are going to make to the TPS reports. We're going to put the new cover sheets on the TPS reports before they go out. Re: the contractor status, I did receive your clarification regarding travel to Holland, and will do as advised. But it would be useful for you to go ahead and create that sign with the company logo for anyone who is going to receive any disbursements….no checks will be issued to associates without contractor status, so we will need photographs of all people who will be meeting me in Holland. I hope that all is well with you, and look forward to our next contact.

The Sperminator.

I figured that I'd go ahead and drop Lumbergh's name. If you are one of the 5 people on the planet who has not seen Office Space yet, go rent it today.

Eazy E,

Thank you for sending the documents for my review. You continue to demonstrate that you are an efficient business partner, and we all appreciate your hard work on this matter. I could not help but feel as though you feel that the issue of applying for preferred contractor status is too much trouble, and you appear either unwilling or unable to do as requested. In particular, I fail to see what trouble it will create for you to send pictures of associates with our company logo, and I hope that you can understand what a problem that this will create if this information is not provided. The chairman of our board has already shown his willingness to support all aspects of this transaction in spite of some logistical problems that the distance between us has created, and he has been willing to circumvent certain aspects of company procedure to empower me to act with fiduciary responsibility on all matters with the company assets. But in reference to Article V, section 36, subparagraph 18(b) of our company's charter, it is “not possible to effect a financial exchange, stock option, wire transfer, or disbursement to offshore investment accounts dollar amounts in excess of five hundred (500) dollars to a recipient not on the preferred contractor or service provider database without prior consent and approval of the board of directors .” I do understand that our policies may be considered somewhat unusual to you and your associates, but I can assure you that when the board meets this coming Thursday, they will not approve any disbursements to someone without preferred contractor status. The large amount of money involved will further complicate matters. I will say that as long as your firm can submit at least one application for preferred contractor status that it will enable our business to continue, and we can issue disbursements to that contractor. The contractor can be you, or it can be a designee of your firm. If there are any costs involved exceeding the percentage of the $45 million designated for these costs, you may deduct them from my percentage, as long as this gets done. I am perfectly willing to take your cues on this transaction, because you have the best understanding of the procedures of your country, and are more knowledgeable on the particulars. All I ask is that you assist me in getting the approval of my \ board on this deal, because it will be impossible for me to proceed without the requested information.

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND THE NATURE OF THIS TRANSACTION FIRST,YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THIS IS A DEAL WHICH I HAVE TAKING EVERY PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TO EXECUTE. CONSIDERING THE ACTS OF YOUR COMPANY THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS MIGHT FINDS IT VERY DIFFICULT TO APPROVE ANY PAYMENT INTO THIS TRANSACTION BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT INVOLVED IN THE EXECUTION OF IT AND IT MIGHT SOUND SO ABSTARCT TO THEM. NOW THIS TRANSACTION REQUIRES URGENT ATTENTION AND IF NOT FOR THE PROPERTIES WHICH I DONT HAVE ANY MORE,I COULD HAVE NOT BOTHERED YOU FINANCIALLY,BECAUSE HERE IN MY COUNTRY NO MATTER YOUR POLITICAL STATUS ANY LOAN GOES WITH A DEPOSIT OF COLLATERAL THAT EQUALS THE LOAN YOU NEED.SO I AM NOW SUGGESTING WE HANDLE THE ASPECT OF THIS STAMP DUTY JUST BETWEEN ME AND YOU,BECAUSE IT IS QUITE CLEAR THAT YOUR COMPANY ACT WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE DISBURSEMENT OF FUNDS TO THIS TRANSACTION. I WILL NOT MIND SIGNING AN AGREMENT FOR YOU TO PAY BACK TO WHOM EVER YOU MIGHT TAKEN A LOAN FROM TO GET THIS STAMP DUTY ISSUE A SOLVED MATTER. THE STAMP DUTY IS THE VITAL ISSUE.I LOANED TO GET THE REQUIRED LEGAL DOCUMENTS TO SUPPORT YOUR CLAIM,I PAID 3 YEARS TAX OF 1% OF 45 M USD I WILL ATTACH THE RECEIPT TO YOU AS SOON AS I RETRIEVE IT FROM MY LAWYER TODAY. PLEASE THE ONLY WAY OUT IDS FOR YOU TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION ON PERSONAL BASIS,I WILL UNSDERSTAND AND ADJUST THE PERCENTAGE BECAUSE HALF A LOAF IS BETTER THAN NONE. MY FEARS NOW IS THAT IF WE DONT HASTEN UP TO PAY AND SIGN AT HOLLAND,THE HOLLAND BUREAU MIGHT DECALRE THE MONEY UNCLAIMED TERRORIST FUND WHICH WILL JEOPARDISE THE ENTIRE PROCESS.

I think that he's getting a little fed up at this point, but I like the fact that he's willing to kick an extra percent my way. Half a loaf is better than none.

Jed's going to push the issue a bit more. If you want to deal with Ol' Jed, you better be more civil-like.

Eazy E,

I have received the advice from the Middle Bank regarding the transfer, and have instructed Ms. Hathaway from Commerce Bank contact Mr. Ego to finalize the arrangements. I did receive your email message, and with all due respect, I must question your instruction to circumvent the will of my board of directors. Each member of that board was hand picked by myself and Mr. Drysdale for their considerable expertise and business savvy, and it is because I work with my board that I have managed to create such growth in the value for my shareholders. I do understand that the procedures may be somewhat different in your country, but the days of making corrupt dealings behind the backs of the people in charge are long gone here. But I couldn't make a deal with company assets behind the backs of my board members even if I wanted to. I do understand that as the next of kin to Mr. Pal I could probably do this deal without going through my company, but my personal assets are so heavily distributed throughout a variety of investments that I would be hard pressed to come up with any cash within the next few business days. I have spoken to Judge Reinhold of the 13 th district court, and he has told me of his willingness to grant my company an injunction toward certain aspects of the Patriot Act if this deal can be treated as an internal transaction between agents in the same company. If we cannot add a preferred contractor to the transaction, then we will have to fill out several TPS reports in triplicate, as well as walking an HAL 9000 form through the Federal Department of International Fiduciary commerce. Even my quite officious staff cannot complete all of these tasks in less than five (5) business days. As you are aware, The recent climate of heightened alert has made transactions of dollar amounts exceeding 10 thousand (10,000) dollars exceedingly difficult, and the only way to make that work is if we can have bilateral cooperation and compliance with the policies and customs of each other's companies. You have consistently shown great vigilance in all dealings with this transfer, and I appreciate your efforts. I am just hoping that the simple matter of a little bit of required paperwork is not going to get in the way of the great fortune that we are going to enjoy together very soon.

Yours in Christ,

The Sperminator

Eazy E,

I certainly appreciate your timely replies to my requested information, and I will be meeting with my board tomorrow night to confirm the arrangements for my travel to Holland . Ms. Hathaway is in the process of checking on some flight itineraries for me and as soon as I confirm my flights, I will send my schedule to you so that we can expedite the rest of our business.

I do have some questions regarding the trip to Holland that I need to get cleared up beforehand:

1. How much cash will I need to carry with me? I do know that there are laws regarding transporting large amounts of cash, and if a cashier's check will work, then we can process the transaction in that manner.

2. If I do need to carry cash. What would be the best ways to smuggle the cash on a commercial flight?

3. After I receive the consignment in Holland , how will I need to arrange to return to America with it?

4. While in Holland , I would like to spend a considerable amount of time in the red light district, per our earlier discussion. Can your Holland people arrange for transportation to and from that area? Also I would like for them to meet me in the airport with a brick of the best hash that they sell there, and I would like to have no less than two (2) hookers waiting in my hotel room when I arrive. Can you make these arrangements for me?

Thanks for your vigilance in all of this deal…you have been a most valuable asset to this transaction, and I don't think that any of this would be possible without your help.

Also, I would like to ask some information of a personal nature. Are you currently married or involved? I ask, because my niece Ellie Mae is actively looking for a fitting companion, and if you are interested, then I would be glad to put you in touch with her. I don't know the customs and the courtship processes in your country, but I can assure you that Ellie Mae is a very beautiful young lady who would serve you quite well. I would like for her to meet a mature and successful man, and I feel as though you qualify on both counts. I already feel as though you are part of my family, and this could make it official.Her picture is attached.

Yours in Christ,

Eazy E,

Woo doggie! I'm getting' mighty fired up about this here trip to Holland , and can't wait to get the chance to sit down with you and drink a toast to our good fortune together. I talked to Ms. Hathaway today, who is going to be making my arrangements to travel, and it looks as though I should have what I need to travel sometime next week. When I have my itinerary lined up, I'll forward it along to you. I do know that on the local news they said that for travel we are currently at fuschia alert, but hopefully by the time that I return they will have downgraded the alert status to puce alert. I'll also get Ms. Hathaway in touch with your contacts in Holland , and get to work on taking care of all of my extracurricular needs while I am there, as well as handling the disposition of my liquid assets.

I'm headin' out this afternoon on a snipe hunt, and will be gone until next Tuesday, but when I return, I should have some more information to share with you. When you come to America , you should come snipe hunting with me as well, because they sho nuff are some mighty good eatin'! Ol' Granny usually cooks up a whole mess of possum and taters when it's time for vittles, but when we get some snipe to add to the table, then you sure as tarnation will get satisfied.

Ya'll come back now, ya hear?

Jed “Sperminator” Clampett

P.S.: Ellie Mae would definitely like to see a better picture of you…she liked the one from the passport photo, but she wanted to see a bigger one.

I was taking off to Talladega for the weekend, so I needed to stall him a bit, and the snipe hunt seemed like a good idea.

Eazy E,

Thanks for your patience with me as I take the time to walk all of this excess paperwork through our system. As you know I'm a simple kind of man, and dealing with these here city folk can be something of a challenge at times, and I'm just beside myself in this process. Ms. Hathaway has submitted a final draft of her letter to Dr. Hastrup to me this afternoon, and I have approved her to email her letter to him in the morning, apprising him of the delays. I did meet with my board last Thursday night, and I think that it all went quite well. They have approved me to work with you on this transaction, and they have given me access to my discretionary account, which will enable me to expense my travel and discretionary expenses for my trip to Holland, tentatively scheduled for next week. However, I am afraid that there are some strings attached. Mr. E. Rection III, the CFO for my firm, is not one to be particularly trusting of individuals with whom we have had no prior dealings, and he expressed great concern over the fact that you have not submitted the necessary documentation for preferred contractor status. I did show them the documents that you have sent, and they have signed off on them, but they say that they will not approve this deal without an overseas contractor involved. Mr. Rection has already been in contact with another individual in your country that can act as an agent on our behalf, but I put my foot down, and gave him my word that you would submit the necessary documentation to the firm to grant you authority to act as an agent of our firm overseas. This is what we will require: 1. A photograph of you for the employee ID badge. Attached you will find a company logo, and you will need to print it onto card stock and take a photo holding this card, with the logo large enough to be legible. 2. We will need a letter of endorsement from you stating that you have been carrying our product lines in a retail store, and that you would like to be approved to get an exclusive franchise arrangement to carry our full product lines. I know that you feel as though these requirements are difficult to carry out, and that they are childish, but I am afraid that we will be unable to proceed without them. It will please you to know that I am planning on submitting my resignation from the company after this transaction is complete, but until it is complete, we must play by their rules. Thanks for everything, my friend. I hope to see you within the next week or so, the good lord willing and the creek don't rise.

Jed "Sperminator" Clampett

P.S. Ellie Mae is most excited to hear that you send your regards, and I have told her that you might be able to send a photograph of yourself in your best suit so that she can frame it and hang it up in her bedroom.

Dr. Hastrup,

Greetings and salutations. I am Jed Clampett from Beverly Hills, California, USA, and I am currently working with Mr. Andy Eze regarding the transfer of Destin Pal's assets into an account in the United States. I have been instructed to contact your office to arrange for an extension of the deadlines for my travel to Holland to receive these assets, and hanve been told that you can make these arrangements. I do feel as though I should inform you that Mr. Eze has played a rather large part in these delays, because he has been uncooperative in providing necessary documentation to my firm in order to hasten my ability to use my discretionary funds, and he has informed me that he now wishes for me to grant him power of attorney so that he can take on a different partner. I do not have all of the specifics of your relationship with Mr. Eze, but it appears as though he may not have the authority to make the necessary arrangements. I am going to contact Mr. Eze to confirm some more specifics on this arrangement, but if we cannot resolve our disputes, then I may be forced to terminate his authority in this matter. If you have any specific recommendations on how best to proceed, then please advise asap. Mr. Eze has been efficient at handling many aspects of this business arrangement, but he may not have any experience or authority commensurate with this type of dealing. It is my hope that I can keep him on board and pay him the share that he has requested, but unless he makes a significant change to his ability to produce the required documentation, then I may be forced to take a different course of action. Thanks in advance for your cooperation on this matter, and I look forward to meeting you in Holland.

Jed Clampett.

Eazy E,

Per your instructions, I have contacted Dr. Hastrup regarding the extension on this transaction this morning, and am currently waiting for his response.

I did receive your email this morning, and I must admit that I was shocked at the content. This is not the first time that you have gotten incredibly defensive with me when I have requested certain information from you, and your refusal to provide me with this information communicates to me that you are either unwilling or unable to do as requested. And now I get word that you are planning on taking on another partner in China , and are requesting power of attorney from me so that you can change horses in midstream, so to speak.

I am not entirely familiar with all of your customs in your country, but I have done international business with partners all over the world, and reciprocity is the key to any business relationship. I have done as you asked in every case, with the exception of certain requests that you have made that exceed the accepted practices of my company. I have the authority and financial backing to handle international business deals, but only if extensive documentation is on file with our board of directors. I have been able to significantly reduce the amount of paperwork required in this transaction, but only if I am dealing with a preferred contractor.

The fact that you stall and get defensive with me when I make a request indicates to me that you may not have the resources to do as requested. If this is the case, then how am I to believe that you have any authority with Mr. Pal's assets? If you do have the authority to make this happen, then you should be willing to provide me with the appropriate documentation to satisfy my board members, and if not, then you should get me in touch with the people that do, and stop wasting my time and the time of my board of directors.

Your request to grant you power of attorney is ridiculous, and I refuse to do so. I have already expended a significant amount of resources from my firm to make this deal happen, and I have not put this work into the deal so that I can empower you to take over these assets. I have a vested interest in seeing to it that the original arrangements that were made are carried out, and I intend to see this deal through, either with you, or through someone with the authority to carry this deal out.

You have made some comments about how I think that this deal is a big joke, and that I am ridiculing you, but I can say the same thing about you. I cannot help you if you don't give me what I need to carry out this business, and I need some evidence that you are serious about this deal, and that you have the authority to do as you have said.

I have enjoyed working with you on this transaction, and I hope to continue our business relationship, but I have no qualms about empowering someone else to take over this deal if you cannot do what is asked of you.

Regards,

Jed “Sperminator” Clampett

Eazy E,

Thank you for providing the requested information. It shows a good faith effort on your part to comply with the needs of my board of directors, and it makes things much easier for us to proceed. Ms. Hathaway is in the process of getting my itinerary together for the trip to Holland, and I will contact Dr. Hastrup to confirm that we are on schedule. I do have a couple of comments:

1. The photograph that you sent appears to be a forgery. The photo of your face is an exact copy of the photo from your passport and bank ID, and a photo editing program was used to add your face to your employee's body. Please send a photo of yourself holding the company logo. Also, the logo is not large enough for us to be able to read the text, which will be necessary. I would recommend duplicating the logo in approximately twice the size of the one that your employee is holding. I would recommend holding the logo directly across your chest, and having your photographer get in closer.

2. Your request to be a supplier was a good letter, but I think that it would convince the board of your sincerity if you included our company's slogan in the text: "After giving the others an inspection, I have decided that I will get an E. Rection!"

Also, one of the things that the board members like to see in endorsements from other nations is a testimonial that our products have helped the local economy. You might inducate that your satisfied customers have purchased more goods and services from other local merchants, and that you have been able to use a portion of your profits to support civic projects in the community. No doubt you have written some endorsements before, and this should be a relatively simple task. If you have any questions, or if I can do anything else to be personally helpful, just let me know. I have updated my passport, and can be on a plane to Holland within two business days of your approval to contractor status.

Yours in Christ,

Jed "Sperminator" Clampett

Dr. Hastrup,

Just wanted to advise that Mr. Eze and I appear to be working things out, although I am afraid that we still have some things to straighten out before my travel to Holland. Mr. Eze was supposed to send me a picture of himself holding my company logo, and he sent me a doctored photo. Perhaps it is customary in his country to play practical jokes and insult your partners, but this is a little different from my dealings that I am used to. Be that as it may, I think that we will be able to handle this amiably. I have told Mr. Eze that I can get to Holland within 2 business days of receiving the requested information, and as soon as he provides me with exactly what I need to take to my board of directors, I will have the itinerary overnighted to you by FedEx. I have some things that I require for my trip to Holland, and you may utilize my portion of the fund to make the arrangements:

1. I would like to have a hotel reservation made in a 4 or 5 star hotel with limousine transportation to the red light district

2. I would like one kilo of quality hashish waiting for me in my hotel room.

3. I would like to have two (2) prostitutes waiting in my hotel room when I arrive. I would like to have at least one Blonde, and one Asian, if possible.

4. I would like 2 tickets to a local Burlesque or sex show, and would like to have a Russian hooker as a date for the evening. She must be at least 1.8 metres tall, and she must answer only to the name “Natasha”. She should refer to me only as “Boris”.

 

Mr. Eze said that you were a somewhat conservative man, and that you might not wish to join me in any social activities, but that you had the connections to make these arrangements. I appreciate you attention to this detail, and I will be certain to pay you a significant gratuity from my portion of these funds.

Thanks in Advance

Andy,

You sent me a doctored photo, and your letter needs some revision. Both are problems that you should be able to fix easily if you are who you say that you are. The problem is that you seem to be stalling. I'm not sure what the customs are in your country, but here we don't typically waste the time of our business associates by playing practical jokes and giving constant excuses. The demands of my board of directors are not that unreasonable, especially in light of the amount of money that we are dealing with here. I apologize that they seem to cause you some stress, but that is just part of doing business. There is a local proverb here that I feel like I could share "If you can't run with the big dogs, stay on the porch" Please send me the required information, and stop sending excuses. I can be on a plane to Holland within two business days of your approval to contractor status, but we need an authentic photograph, and a letter of endorsement that we can use in promotional material for the company. I am willing to provide any assistance to you on this matter, and do wish to assist you with the transfer of these assets, but I grow weary of these stalling tactics. Please comply with my requests so that we can finish this deal.

Eazy E.,

The letter came through just fine, and I appreciate the timeliness of your reply. My board meets tomorrow night, and Mr. Dick Goezinya on the board had indicated that he would like for the letter to contain the phrase "I gave the others an inspection, then I got an E. Rection!" They would also like some sort of anecdote about how our company's products have benefitted your local community (e.g., created jobs, increased consumer wealth, allowed you to underwrite the construction of a city park, etc.) Also, don't forget to retake the picture according to the instructions provided...the edited photo that we have will not be acceptable. Thanks for your hard work. Ellie Mae and I look quite forward to hearing from you!

Eazy E.,

I am sorry, but my job is far too demanding for me to write the letter for you, and it must be in your own words. If you wish for my assistance in this deal, you must do as I ask. As for the photo, you and I both know that the photo that you sent was a forgery. A photo editing program was used to superimpose a face onto whoever was holding the company logo, and I find it insulting that you think that me or anyone on my board would be fooled by that photograph. I think that there is a very real possibility that the face on the IDs that you have sent is someone else, and that you did not think that anyone was going to verify who you are. I don't care if you are 58 years old, or if you are 22 years old. All I care about is getting the necessary documentation in so that I can travel to Holland and complete this transaction. If you continue to insist on being uncooperative, then I will be forced to contact Dr. Hastrup and notify him that you are no longer empowered to make any dealings on Mr. Pal's estate. Judge Wapner has already written the affidavit to remove you from this transaction, and it awaits my signature. I have not signed the document, but will do so if necessary. We have both put in a lot of work on this transaction, and we both stand to make a lot of money, but we must work together, and not against one another. I have to convince my board that my business associate is a trustworthy and qualified partner, and if I cannot convince my board that you are someone that can be trusted, then they will not let me deal with you. I have been very honest and forthcoming with you, and all I ask is that you do the same with me.

Andy,

I received your email message this morning, and the board of directors convened to act upon the email. Based on your unwillingness to cooperate with our company, I regret to inform you that your involvement with the estate of Mr. Pal is officially terminated, and all agreements made between the two of us are officially null and void. The injunction filed with Judge Wapner is attached. I will be flying to Holland to conclude the transaction, and upon the conclusion of the transaction, you will be provided a severance package of $100,000, which will be considered a finders fee for your earlier efforts. The board was only going to provide you with expenses, but I was most insistent that you should get something for your trouble. I have enjoyed working with you on this transaction, and I will contact you after I have concluded my business in Holland.

Regards,

The Sperminator

Regrettably, my board of directors has terminated Mr. Eze's involvement in this transaction, and an injunction has been issued. For your records, I have attached the injunction. Please arrange for lodging for at least 2 nights, and inform me on the status of the requests that I made to you in the email message of May 1, 2004. Thanks for your prompt attention on this matter, and I will see you in a couple of days.

I just returned from Holland and had a wonderful time with Dr. Hastrup there. After I received the trunk boxes with the money (see attached photograph), Dr. Hastrup and I went out to the red light district and had a really good time. He had arranged for some of the finest hashish and hookers that the town had to offer, and we had a magnificent time together.

I bet that you wish that you had sent me that picture after all, eh?

This is the pic that I sent:

Eazy E,

Perhaps we should set aside the troubles that we have had and agree to work together on this transaction. It appears as though we both require some things from each other, and if we resolve to work together on this matter, we can probably work this out amiably. I spoke to Judge Wapner, and he has agreed to suspend the injunction if we can resolve our differences, and I have agreed to work with you on this. I do understand that the individual in the photographs that you sent is probably not you, and you had some reason for the cunning attempt to trick me with a forgery. If you can send me the orginal photograph, along with the revisions that I instructed, then we can proceed. I will have a copy of the letter that you requested to you sometime tomorrow, and as soon as I get your contractor application, I'll proceed with my travel arrangements.

Andy,

I was going to give you another chance, but since you don't seem to want to cooperate, I'm done with you. I know that there was never any money anyway, and that you are just a con artist.

If you ever expect to make any money scamming people, I would recommend that you get better at forgery...that picture that you sent was purely amateur night.

Here are a couple of suggestions for future victims:

1. Don't use the same picture for every ID

2. Use your own picture...it became obvious to me that the picture that you were using was of an older gentleman, because you felt as though it gave you more credibility. I don't really feel as though this is necessary.

3. Don't act offended when Americans mention drinking and sex. A good scammer adjusts his personality to match that of his victims.

These tips are free of charge, but if you would like the rest of my report, then I can make it available to you for a nominal fee through my con artist consulting service.

These are the services that we offer:

* High quality photo editing software, complete with templates for various IDs and government documents

* Professionally designed website complete with links to track your fictional shipments, and a history of the deceased relative

* Spellchecking and grammar checking for emails

*Authentic looking photographs of money for you to send to victims.

BUT WAIT....THERE'S MORE

Act within the next 24 hours, and we will throw in a complimentary Ginsu cutlery set, complete with a set of eight (8) Steak knives, a Paring Knife, a Chef Knife, and the apple peeler

Now, how much would you be willing to pay?

DON'T ANSWER YET...STILL MORE

If you put this on your Visa, Mastercard, American Express, or Discover Card, and we will include the beer can chicked roaster ABSOLUTELY FREE! How much would you be willing to pay for these services? $1000? $2000? $5000? It would be a bargain at any one of those prices, but if you act now, we will give it to you at the low, low price of $250.

Supplies are limited....act now!

He was with the Bank of Benin, Cotonou. He has a 24 years son. He could live in the area surround the city of Enugu, Nigeria. He is not a citizen of Benin, but a citizen of Nigeria.

It did not take me too long to figure out that Mr. Nestor was not a trustworthy business associate, and his refusal to comply with requirements set forth by my board members forced me to terminate our business relationship several months ago. The information that you have would be useful, and I will forward it to Mr. Worf, my head of security, so that we can take the necessary measures to ensure that his treachery will not affect any of my business associates. Please feel free to send any information to me.
