Mail 43: Max has found disturbing information on the Internet

Subject: All is well brother!!!

Dear Jose,

Over the last few days I have heard nothing from the IBA-bank myself, maybe my friend the banker Mr Cas te Kort has been in contact, but I haven't spoken to him today. I was out all day on a party conference of the Socialist Workers' Party of Rottumerplaat. I asked Cas to effect the payment of $ 300 the bank asked for, and I suppose he'll be able to manage that; after all he is a banker. If I hear any news from him I'll let you know.

It was a great day at the conference, during which it was decided that the much-needed motorway from Saaftinge to Casuweel will finally be built, which was again a great victory for our leader, chairman and president Toon Ladder. The president delivered a long speech, rightfully praising all the good things for which our autonomous autarkic socialist republic is famous the world over.

Let me ask you again about your wife's health. I told Lies, my wife, about our project (she won't tell anyone, I assure you), and she says she is very happy to help you and to help your wife. With these funds your wife may be able to get better medical treatment. By the way, it may be difficult to reach me on Wednesday. It's my wife's birthday. She'll be 36. We expect a lot of friends to visit us. Well, maybe you'll be able to join the festivities on our birthdays next year. Anyway, we'll have some glorious beers from our national favourite brand 'Red Star'.

Oh, there is another thing, which I wanted to ask you about. I was surfing the internet the other day, wanting to learn more about you beautiful country Togo. It was really interesting, but then I came across some information which rather disturbed me. Here is the link, it's from the official website of your country:

My French is not so good, but I think it was about some kind of Nigerian crooks in your beautiful country. What can you tell me about this?

Your brother,
