To: jbconsult@latinmail.com

Dear Mr. Martins,

It upsets me greatly to hear the news of the passing of Uncle Jim and his family in Nigeria . We urged him to reconsider his business overseas because all of the cruel savagery that can befall a foreign national in these turbulent times, and it upsets me to learn of this news. I do take some comfort in the knowledge that we can now rest assured that him and his family are in fact in the embrace of Jesus Christ, our personal savior, and all of myself and my family will now begin the process of healing.

I was greatly surprised to hear that Jim had amassed such a significant estate, especially in light of his fondness for various recreational activities. In particular, he had amassed quite significant gambling debts in the United States , and fell into debt with the Corleone family. It is only due to the fact that Luca Brasi now sleeps with the fishes that Jim was able to make the trip overseas unharmed.

I think that you can understand the need for great confidence in expediting this transaction, because many people in America, including but not limited to drug dealers, federal agents, and former gay lovers will be expecting to wet their beaks on this windfall, and it is imperative that you provide all necessary information to me on how best to expedite this transaction.

Mr. Martins, there is also one important thing that you must assure me of before we are to enter into a business relationship. You must provide me all assurances that you have in fact taken the lord Jesus Christ as your personal saviour, and that you are a God-fearing man. I will only enter into business with a fellow soldier in the Army of Christ.

Sincerely,

Hugh G. Rection

Mr. Martins,

I feel quite confident that the precious lord Jesus Christ has taken our hand and brought us together, and that we will enter into a quite successful business dealing together. If only Jim had come into contact with an honest and God-fearing man such as yourself when he first entered the sovereign nation of Nigeria , then perhaps he would still be with us today. I recall speaking with him a few years back, and he told me that I should book a flight to Lagos with a quickness, and I'm like “for rizzle?” And then he told me “Word to your mother.” As you are probably aware, the phrase “Word to your mother” is a very sacred phrase that is only shared between people who have affirmed a bond of eternal friendship and brotherhood. I hope one day to exchange this phrase with you.

Per your humble request, here is the information that you have requested:

  1. Hugh G. Rection, 4222 Clinton Way , Beverly Hills , CA 90210
  2. 32 years old, Adult film star
  3. Telephone #(310) 555-6161.

I also have a humble request to make of you, so that I can have your assurances that you are in fact who you say that you are. I would like for you to send me a picture of yourself holding a sign with my name on it so that I can confirm that you are in fact a real person. As a gesture of my good faith, I am going to send you a current photograph of myself.

Also, It is customary for business associates to use nicknames in America , and I would be honored if you greeted me in future messages as “Mr. Hedgehog.” I would also invite you to offer a nickname that you would like to be called so that we can maintain the customs of my people.

Your brother in Christ

Dear Big Poppa,

You indicated in your email that you did not really have a nickname, but it would honor me if I could use a nickname that I used for a friend of mine, who was regrettably murdered by a business rival a few years ago. He used to love it when I called him Big Poppa, and he'd thow his hands in the air, ‘cause he was a true playa.

I had the application of account closure reviewed by my attorney, Mr. Atticus Finch, esq., and it appears as though all of the paperwork is in good shape. I am having some trouble with my fax machine at this time, but as soon as I get into the biofilter buss and patch in a molecular matrix reader, I should be able to teleport the document without overloading the waveform modulator and the regeneration limiter. My. Transporter chief Mr. O'Brien is looking into the problem at this time, and I anticipate submitting the signed draft to the bank within the next few days.

I hope that you have a most satisfying time at the Esther festival. I will be attending a similar festival here. I am not sure if your customs are any different in Nigeria , but in America , there is a massive pilgrimage to South Central Los Angeles, where the celebrants pin money to their clothing, and run through the streets challenging the residents to catch them and take their money. I have participated in this ritual several times before with my friends Dre, Snoop Dogg, and we have always had a great time. We then celebrate by breaking out our ceremonial hooka pipes and smoking the bubonic hydroponic chronic. I only wish that you could be there for the festival here to witness this for yourself.

I eagerly await receiving your picture and the documents that you have promised, and I look forward to the time when this deal is done when we can sit together with 40 ounces of Olde English 800 and pour some out for our dead homies.

Mr. Martins,

Per the request of my employer, Mr. Rection, I am contacting you to verify that you have had the opportunity to contact the federal ministry regarding the disposition of Jim Rection's estate, and the status of the photograph that you were going to send as an email attachment. I was also told to inform you that Mr. Rection has sent the request to close Jim's account to the bank, and that you should have what you need. Mr. Rection has been called out of the country for a few days on business, and wanted to issue his deepest apologies to you for not contacting you personally. He received an emergency telephone call Sunday night from Mr. Seymour Butts with your firm, and had to fly to Lagos to assist with some difficulties at the bank. Mr. Rection did tell me to inform you that he will attempt to meet up with you while in Lagos, and to be expecting a telephone call. If you require any additional assistance, Mr. Rection has empowered me to assist with matters pertaining to the transfer of funds, so feel free to contact me any time at this address.

Sincerely, Ms. Nina Hartley

Dear Ms. Nina Hartley,

Thanks for your mail.But i have to let you know that i do not know Mr. Seymour Butts and besides,this transaction has not come to the stage of Mr. Rection coming to Nigeria for any reason pertaining to this transaction because i am the local attorney overseeing every processing concerning the immediate conclussion of this transaction. This also based on the fact that we have not yet started procuring Documents to back up our claims/Estates as a next of kin (heir).Hence i will like him to call me on my number right away on 234 80 33018020.You too can call me so i will explain things to you and him. He might come to Nigeria and go straight to either a wrong hand and even if he goes to the Bank involve,they will not listen to him as i am the one that they know and i am the one that will present him as the next of kin to my late client.We have not yet file in any solid document yet to the Bank to back us up as we have to get to the Federal High Court here to Get the AFFIDAVIT of CLAIM CERTIFICATE on his Name and this will cost money.I am lacking some financial assistance to get this documents (Usd$3,520).If he can be of any assist ance,i will appreciate so we can obtain all the documents that will be needed/required by the Bank.They Bank here have to verify and scrutunize all our certificate/documents first before given an approval to the Fund release to him. Secondly,did he send hia Bank Details to the bank where the fund will be transfered into?Let him do this till we hear from the Bank. Please tell him to call me because i will not want a situation that he will mixed up things and make things difficult for me and himself to claim this fund. May i ask,what business his he coming to do in my country?i can direct him well.The picture will be ready by tomorrow as we had a holidays here and the photographer that took me the photo has travel to come back by today. I expect your quick reply.

Mr. Martins,

On behalf of my employer and myself, I extend warm greetings. Thanks you for clarifying the situation with Mr. Seymour Butts. I do not have complete information regarding the nature of the contact that he has had with this gentleman, but I do know that Mr. Rection was told that it was of a most urgent nature, and Mr. Rection was notified that his presence was going to be required immediately in Lagos . I have attached the picture that Mr. Butts sent to Mr. Rection for identification purposes, and perhaps you can identify this man before he is able to harm Mr. Rection. I am quite fearful for my employer's safety, as I have not been able to get a hold of him, but I have every confidence that you will be able to protect him from harm. I know that Mr. Rection trusts you most implicitly, and that you are most concerned for seeing to his safety. Please forward your picture to me by email as soon as it comes in so that I may send it to Mr. Rection when he calls in.

Mr. Butts reserved a room for Mr. Rection under the name of Sam O'Nella at the Sheraton Hotel, although I believe that he may have used another alias for his own protection. If they show no registration under the name O'nella, you might try looking for the names Betty Humpter or Mike Hunt. I know that these are some of the aliases that he has used in the past.

Mr. Martins, I am trusting you as my employer does that you will do everything in your power to protect him from harm. I have been in the employ of Mr. Rection for over ten years, and we have also had sexual intercourse on a few occasions. He is a God-fearing man, a great employer, and the best lover that I have ever had.

Your obedient servant,

Ms. Nina Hartley

This information concerns me greatly. That is the photo that Mr. Butts sent, and we didn't recognize that he was a musician. Neither one of us listen to a lot of music or watch a lot of television. I tried to contact Mr. Rection's hotel room last night, but was informed that he checked out. He was supposed to contact me before he left, and I am also frightened because he has not called in. If I hear from Mr. Rection, I will certainly tell him to call you.I am also going to contact the police force in Lagos and file a missing person report if I have not heard from My employer by Friday. This is not like him to not call in.

Jeffrey,

The picture that I sent you is the only one that I had access to. Mr. Rection apparently changed the password to his email account before he left for Lagos on Sunday, and I don't have access to any of his other records. I have been up all night trying to figure out what to do about this situation. I have contacted the Embassy to Nigeria in Washington DC and spoke to one of the attaches there, and he feels as though Mr. Butts may be a member of some sort of international terrorist cell based out of Lagos who caught word of this business deal and may have attempted to kidnap Mr. Rection and make a ransom demand. I'll go ahead and contact the police force in Lagos and file a missing persons report on Mr. Rection, and pass on your contact information, because you probably have the best idea on my employer's business with your firm, and you can probably provide them with some leads. I am fearful for Mr. Rection, but I have every confidence that you will use your considerable resources to assist him and return him safely home. God Bless you!

Big Poppa,

Greetings and salutations! I just flew back this afternoon, and boy are my arms tired!. My apologies for not contacting you while I was in Africa . When I was leaving the airport, a gang of street toughs stole my laptop and cell phone, and all my contact information was lost. Further complicating matters was the fact that I had some trouble arranging for flight back to California, and when I finally got back, they had to reroute me through Kenya before they got me to London, then back to USA. It was something of a nightmare, to say the least. Fortunately, I was able to have the concierge at the hotel arrange for me to have some female companionship, so it was not a total loss. I appreciate your efforts to locate me while I was gone, and I appreciate your dealings with Nina Hartley. As you may or may not have figured, she can be particularly persistent in her attempts to locate me (especially when I don't want to be located). I do appreciate your contact with her. Seymour Butts never showed up at the designated appointment, ] and it was a good thing, because a detective, Mr. Riggs, showed up at the appointment and informed me that Mr. Butts was actually a member of a local street gang, and not with a law office as he claimed. He seemed to know a great deal about or dealings together, so you might check to see if your files have been compromised. I understand that the photograph that he sent was actually one from some musician named Ludicrous, and that was most interesting. In the future, I will confirm through you who I am dealing with. I have not received the photograph of you yet, and wanted to confirm if you sent it or not. If not, there has been a change. I have spoken with our board of directors, and they suggested that I go ahead and issue you a badge, and put you on our list of preferred contractors. This will make it easier to make transfers, because preferred contractors don't require all of the additional paperwork, and this will greatly expedite our dealings together. I have attached a copy of our company logo, and what you need to do is print it on card stock, and take a picture of yourself holding the logo (Make sure that the logo is large enough to be legible). I will issue you an employee badge and give you an ID number, and that will greatly expedite our business together. Thanks for all of your hard work on this matter…I appreciate everything that you have done, and look forward to getting the chance to drink a 40 ounce together.

Yours in Christ,

Hedgehog.

Your stories are too much for me as this will not make us to move forward in this transaction,then i may think we stop dealing together as i beleive that what is good and real, does not warrant all this. I will look for someone else to transact with.Just send to me a power of attorney then i will forward it to the Bank to approve for me to locate someone that is serious to claim the fund. Do understand me.they are a lot of things to be put in place and i have not obtain any document yet to send to the bank to back up our claims,then you keep on telling me stories.

Big Poppa,

Thank you for sending me the identification documents, they have been received and a hard copy has been placed into the files on this transfer. I was a bit confused by the email messages that you have sent questioning my seriousness on this transaction. I am unfamiliar with the documents that you require to transact this business, but I will gladly send whatever you require so that we can conclude this transaction and drink a toast to our good fortune. Please advise at once of what documents that you do not have, and I will send them to you immediately. I am a little bit concerned about the fact that you do not seem willing to produce the documents that our board requires in order to expedite asset transfers to an international account, and this will delay our business. As you are probably aware, in the recent political climate, our federal government has subjected all financial transactions that cross international lines with intense scrutiny, and this applies double to transactions that involve multiple companies. If you provide the necessary documentation to grant you preferred contractor status, we can circumvent a great deal of the paperwork required in making a transfer. I have already spoken to Judge Joseph Wapner of the 13 th circuit court on this issue, and he has told me that he will grant an injunction against some of the more stringent measures of the Patriot Act if we can officially consider this an internal matter. If you feel as though the requirements set forth by our board of directors are too restrictive, then you may proceed with this transaction with another partner, but I think that you would have a great deal of trouble finding another partner with the resources to make this transaction that would be willing to act entirely on faith. E.Rection and Company was built from the ground up with the blood, sweat, and tears of the Rection family, and we did not get where we are by making exceptions to savvy business procedures. We make hundreds of deals each month with business associates in over 40 countries, and they have provided us with all of the information requested. We require these stringent measures because today's business climate requires that we get a great deal more than a handshake and a man's word. It is unfortunate that this is required, because even though you have my trust, our board is not as easily convinced. We all stand to make a significant profit from this transaction, and I think that you will agree with me that the benefit that we will accrue from this transfer will be greatly worth the small time investment that it will take to expedite this transaction.

Yours in Christ

Dear Hedgehog,

It's nice reading from you.Thanks for your mail.I will send the picture to you soon as i have already snapped it and i will call the photographer to bring it and i will scan it and send through mail or you can send your fax number so i can fax it to be so clear to you. Now,concerning the documents to back up this claims of fund,there is no way you can obtain the documents from your country as the Bank where this fund was deposited was here in Nigeria and all the clearance must come from here and also note that my client resides here before he died.So you have nothing to do with that man (Attorney)Judge Joseph Wapner which you mention his name as i have explained to you. We have to get an Affidavit of claim certificate from the federal high court of justice here in Nigeria,certificate of will,non-resident certificate,Death certificate and also a letter of administration from the Lagos State Government where my late client work and this will cost money to obtain.I will have to ask you to come in but it will take us time as we have less than 2 week to meet up the stipulated date given to me to produce someone to claim this fund. Have you heard from the Bank here? because they told me they have contacted you sometime last week because i call them to plead for an extensin of time and they said that they cannot extend it more than thier second quarter of the year where they make payments to even foreign contractors according to their burget for the year. I expect your understanding.Call me as soon as you receive this mail so we can talk on phone on my number: 234-80330 18020. I will proceed only if you call me then i will be convience i am working with you.

Regards,

Jeffrey.

Big Poppa,

Thanks for your reply and vigilance on this transaction. It seems as though we will never make it through the paperwork to get this all complete, but having such a swift and officious associate in Nigeria certainly makes it easy to remain on task. I look forward to receiving the picture that you have taken, and you can send it to me by email…that seems to be the best way to get everything taken care of. I will be happy to provide you with my personal fax number, but my technician has advised me that he will need to reconfigure the CD7 unit multiplier in order for it to receive international faxes. The ETA on those repairs is unknown at this writing, but I will send the number immediately when it comes in from our telecommunications department.

Thanks for advising on the status of the contact with your local government. Judge Wapner has put his associate Doug Llewellen and his bailiff Rusty hard at work familiarizing themselves with the laws of your country, and has advised that he will be willing to provide any of the resources available to him in order to expedite this transaction. Judge Wapner owes me a couple of favors, and will be a most valuable asset to us in this business.

I did receive the aforementioned affidavits from you, and I have had Nina contact the bank to expedite this deal. Nina will be out of the office for the remainder of this week, but upon her return, I will follow up on her work to make sure that she has gotten everything taken care of. After I have spoken to her and the bank, I will follow up on everything.

I hope all is well with you, and that the weather is treating you well. I have received news that my close friend and associate Jenna Jameson is in town, and I anticipate that the two of us will be quite busy for the better part of the weekend, but I will give you a call early next week so that we can expedite our business together.

All my best,

Hedgehog

Big Poppa,

I tried to call you on the telephone number that you provided, but was unable to get through. I had the telephone company check the number, and they did not have any information for me.

Big Poppa,

I attempted to dial the phone number as instructed, but no luck. The operator could not put the call through either. I fail to see the necessity of talking on the phone to continue our business, but if you like, feel free to contact me on my cell phone #206-202-0907. I could not help but feel as though this is some sort of exercise to convince or persuade you of my authenticity, or as some sort of diversionary tactic. Myself and the board grow concerned about this transaction, and we are still waiting for the application for preferred contractor status from you. I have been told that it will be crucial if we are to make this deal happen. Please contact me ASAP so that we may proceed.

Hedgehog

Big Poppa,

I have not heard from you in a couple of days, and I need to give a status report to my board this week before I am approved to use the discretionary account. Please advise as soon as possible on the status of this transaction. My board members grow impatient.
