BLEAK LAD


Updated july 17, 2008

Fog all over the frickin' place. Fog around Victoria Island, where the wealthy live behind razor wire. Fog in the streets of Lagos. Fog meandering down the Sagbama Expressway, scene of so many ghastly motor accidents, imaginary and otherwise. Fog curling around the houses sold while their owners are away. Fog up the Delta, where black gold is flared off into nothingness. And in the cybercafes, at the heart of the fog, sits a first-tier scammer who will never see the big money. But never has there been a fog so foul, dense and obscure, as the fog which pervades the following scambait.

Cast (in order of appearance):

Mrs. Nurning Rolland - the opener, cancer-victim Lad (mrs.nurning_r@yahoo.com)
Tom Jarndyce - a gentleman in difficulties
Dr. John Lin - Doctor Lad, only mentioned
Esther Summerson - his ward
James Williams - Global Security Lad (g.firmcompany@yahoo.co.uk, globalsy_64@yahoo.co.uk)

Mrs. Nurning Rolland,

Tom Jarndyce
Dear Mrs. Rolland:

I'm sorry to hear of your suffering. It seems to be something we have in common. I myself have been diagnosed with Gullible's Disease. It's a rare disorder that effects the neurotransmitters in the brain by producing an excessive amount of the hormone oxytocin. This has a deleterious effect on my capacity to tell whether I should trust someone or not, and I tend to err on the side of trusting those whom I shouldn't.

As a result, I have lost a great deal of money and my ward, Ester Summerson, has taken over my financial dealings. She may be said to possess the keys to the house. She does a very good job in this capacity, and I rely upon her good judgement.

If you like, you can pass along your proposition to her. Her e-mail is [xxxxxx].

Please feel free to forward our prior correspondence.

Thank you,

Tom Jarndyce

It would appear that you wish me to pay for a delivery of items that were rather forced upon my by Mrs. Nurning's circumstances. I assure you, I have not entered into this agreement with the purpose of paying any advance fees. I suggest that you instruct your delivery personnel that the items are to be shipped for payment upon delivery. I will not send any funds to anyone until I have something to show for the investment.

Please ask the man at the front desk at my address to call for my bookkeeper, Miss Emma Conman, whom I will instruct to have a cheque ready for you.

Since my address is in London, there will be no need for a flight to take off from the United Kingdom.

I will need to know the amount in British Pounds, please,

I have specified that I require the item to be shipped to be paid upon delivery. I don't know you people, you see, and while I wish to cast no aspersions on your good name, I do think it prudent to make the arrangements I have requested.

Please be assured that I will send no money to you. I am not in the habit of paying for things before I have had an opportunity to inspect them. That would be asking entirely too much of me.

You have my address, there are provisions for payment to be made upon delivery. We shall say no more about my sending any money to you for a package which I cannot be certain actually exists! What do you take me for? A child?

Dear Mr. Williams:

If you have not determined after this lengthy correspondence that I am the person to whom you ought to deliver this package, then I suppose we are at loggerheads.

This is an action instituted by Mrs Nurning Rolland, largely for the benefit of Mrs. Nurning Rolland and coordinated by Mrs. Nurning Rolland. Our efforts to be of help are beginning to be burdensome and are taking us away from our own important business.

The sum that Mrs. Nurning has paid would appear to be Mrs Nurning's problem, not mine. I have not entered into any contractual agreement obliging me to pay any sum of money at all.

This business has become entirely to byzantine for me to continue with it. You have all the information you need to comply with my requests. Should you choose not to operate on that information, I will have lost nothing but a bit of time and a great deal of patience.

You know the address. You know my terms.

Oh, this is too much, really, people.

Esther Summerson
Mr. James Williams

I don't "have to" pay anyone anything. I have stated my terms and I have not altered them.

If you find it inconvenient to comply, perhaps you should find someone else with whom to carry on this needlessly complicated business. Mr. Jarndyce asked me to take this on because he thought it would help Mrs. Nurning. We are not so desperately in need of money that we are willing to go to these rococo lengths to get it.

I am willing to reimburse you "deplomat," whatever that might mean, for the cost of his train travel, provided he brings a receipt to my home office.

You know my terms. You know my address.

I can't imagine what the difficulty is.

Dear Esther Summerson,

Thanks for the mail and content noted.I would like you to understand one thing here, it is going to be very difficult on our side to make this delivery to your recieving address without necessarily getting the required fees for the shipment.

This is not to say that your terms are not to be taken into consideration but we have rules and regulation guiding this company and in our mode of operation, we do not work that way.

But we can have a good understanding as long as it will be in connection to the delivery of the consignment to you,the understanding is that you can pay half of the delivery charge while the balance is collected by the carrier diplomat on delivery of the consignment to you or the other available option now is for you to come down here and pick up the consignment yourself because by doing so it has reduced the cost on your side.

I hope you understand what i am suggesting here.Mrs Nurning Rolland really wants this transcation to be concluded because her health keep deteriorating each minutes.

Best Regards,

Mr. James Williams.

Dear Mr. Williams:

Of course it puzzles me that you can travel to France to deliver a consignment and yet you can't find your way to Kensington.

Dear Esther Summerson

I never told you that i can not find my way to your city but you refused to have a common understanding with me. You are telling me to deliver and get payment upon delivery and we do not work that way so i suggested you come pick it up yourself.

Best Regards,
Mr. James Williams.

Dear Mr. Williams:

Although I am not likely to come myself, I will send my representatives. Please advise me of your location, and a time at which my people can meet with you,

I ask you to bear in mind that we will not receive the items in question unless they are found to be satisfactory upon our inspection.

Thank you,

Dear Mr. Williams:

I would only suggest, then, that since you cannot arrange to deliver this shipment according to the very common practice of payment upon delivery, perhaps we ought to not bother going forward with this business.

I have received shipments from all over the world by this method and found it quite simple and effective.

It is only in the case of this particular transaction that I find resistance to the suggestion. This raises many questions in my mind and I hope you'll forgive me, but I find myself rather backing away from the idea.

What is it you're up to, after all?

Dear Esther Summerson

Thanks for the response. Please Madam you are the person introduced this us by and we can not in any way give the boxes to a third party. You are to come in Person and alone because we won't want this to be publicised because of security reasons.

Let me know your decision so that i will send your the contact information immediately because i will get back to london in three hrs from now.

Best Regards,

Dear Esther Summerson

I am really very sorry for this late response. I wanted to confirm so many things in regards to Mrs. Nurning RollandÕs deposit certificate.

Madam, you are requested to contact the director general of the security company with the contact details for more directives on your coming over and pick up of the boxes.

Contact Person: Mr. John David Stevens
Email: jd_stevens25@yahoo.ie.

I am looking forward to hearing from you. And I apologize for the little delay.

Dear Mr. Williams:

I have been told that the boxes are in your possession at your facility.

I don't want to sound petty, but I flatly refuse to add yet another person to this business, particularly when you have rejected the idea of my agents picking up the parcel.

You will either send the address, and the hours during which the business is open, or I must call a halt to the whole annoying farrago.

Yours,
E. Summerson.

Dear Esther Summerson,

I am very sorry for my late communication to you.. We are trying to fine tune things with Mrs. Nurning Rolland on this transaction. So the management of this company has decided to deliver the consignment to you immediately. The carrier diplomat in the name of senior diplomat KELVIN LAMBERT will give you a call immediately he arrives.

Please bear in mind that the delivery charge of 2050 British pounds sterling will be paid to him immediately upon delivery. Always email me for directives.

(NOTE THAT THE SUM REQUESTED IS NOW 2,050 BRITISH POUNDS. IN PREVIOUS E-MAILS IT WAS 4,850. ARE THEY GETTING FORGETFUL OR DESPERATE?)

Best Regards,

Mr. James Williams.

This business becomes more and more complicated daily. I am about to turn the whole matter over to my solicitors, Kenge and Carboy, here in London. Your doctor may feel free to carry on a correspondence with them, if they like. Should this be satisfactory, I will send you their e-mail address.

Dear Mrs. Rolland:

The boxes were in England, and I was asked to pay some four thousand pounds to have them delivered, then I was asked to pay some two thousand pounds to have them delivered. Now they are in Holland, and heaven only knows what sort of complications will arise.

You know my address. Send the boxes if you like. Hand deliver them. Have your doctor carry them through the Chunnel on a bicycle.

I have never been involved in so byzantine an exercise in my life. Really!

My solicitors are in possession of all the documents concerning this business. All of the e-mails are in their hands. I shall wait until they make a determination as to what I ought to do.

Dear Mrs Esther Summerson,

Esther Summerson
Dear Mrs. Rolland,

I thought I made it abundantly clear in my last correspondence that I have no intention of going to Holland. None whatever.

I have explained my situation to you and it has not altered.

Your doctor may visit me, if he likes, but I am not going to visit Holland. I hope that you understand that. I will repeat, just in case there is any confusion. I am not going to go to Holland.

You have my address, you may give it to your representatives.

Summerson
Mrs. Nurning Rolland
Dear Esther Summerson,

Thanks a lot for your mail,i can see that you cannot come over to Holland,you can send someone to go on your behalf to recive the 2 boxes,if you therefore know that you cannot visit Holland,then my doctor is ready to come to your doorstep.

I have told you several times,that there is no way you are to recive this consignment without any chargers, i will advice you to pay the sum of 2,050 pounds so that my doctor can be able to deliver the consignment to your doorstep.Your contact address have being forwareded to my doctor

Thank you.

Mrs Nurning Rolland.

Esther Summerson
Dear Mrs. Rolland:

Your previous agents, the Global Security Company, were informed that I do not pay for such things. The arrangement I made with them, and will make with you, is this: the objects in question will be shipped to my address in Kensington, London to be paid upon delivery. I will inspect the items, and if they are what you claim them to be, you will be paid by negotiable securities via your messenger.

You see, Mrs, Rolland, I don't know you, and am hesitant to send money to people whom I don't know. This is how my uncle, John Jarndyce, got his affairs into such a mess. I have finally got them back in order and will not have them disarranged.

I have sent you the address. The rest is up to you.

Summerson
Mrs. Nurning Rolland
Dear Esther Summerson,

2: OR IF YOU KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT MAKE THIS PAYMENT THEN COME OVER TO HOLLAND TO RECIVE THE CONSIGNMENT BY YOUR HUMBLE SELF.

I SHALL BE AWAITING YOUR FINAL DECISION,PLEASE MADAM DO THINK WISELY.

Dear Summerson,

Thnaks for your mail,as you cannot send money to make sure that my doctors deliver the 2 boxes to you,you can forget about the transaction so i can look for another client to handle the transaction for me.
