OFFICE OF THE CHAIRMAN
CONTRACT AWARD &
PROCUREMENT COMMITTEE,
ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF
WEST AFRICAN STATES (ECOWAS)
ANNEX,LOME REPULIC OF TOGO.
EMAIL: johnsondr.williams59@yahoo.com.hk
"Strictly confidential"
ACCOUNT PROVISION FOR USD 32 MILLION.
Attn,
Forgive my indignation if this message comes to you as a surprise and if it might offend you without your prior consent and writing through this channel. I am DR. WILLIAMS JOHNSON,The Chairman, Contract Awarding committee of the ECONOMIC COMMUNITY OF WEST AFRICAN STATES ( ECOWAS)with Headquarters in Lome, Togo.
I got your contact through Network on line in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential transaction that involves a transfer of fund to a foreign account and I decided to write you. After discussing my view and your profile with my colleagues,they were very much satisfied and decided to contact you immediately for this mutual business relationship.We wish to transfer the sum of USD 32m (Thirty-Two Million United States Dollars only.)into your personal or company`s bank account.
This fund was a residue of the over invoiced contract bills awarded by us for the supply of hard/softwares,phamaceauticals/medical items,light and heavy duty vehicles, apperals and other administrative logistics etc for the ECOMOG in Sierria-Leone and Liberia during the Peace Keeping Projects.
This DEAL was deliberately hatched out and carefully protected with all the attendant lope holes sealed off.As the Chairman of CAC,I have the cooperation and mandate of the Financial Director and the Secretary of the Organisation.We arranged and over invoiced the contract funds supplied by different companies from different countries during the crisis.
It was our consensus to seek the assistance of a willing foreigner to provide us with the facilities to transfer this money out of West Africa.This is borne out of our beleif in the non-stable and sporous political nature of this sub-region. The original contractors have been duely paid by the Banque Centrale Des Etats De L`Afrique De L`Ouest (Central Bank of the West African States)through our bankers-INTERNATIONAL BANK OF AFRICA(IBA)UNION TOGOLAISE DE BANQUE(UTB),ECO BANK,BTCI BANK LOME TOGO.
This balance is suspended in the escrow accounts awaiting claims by any foreign company of our choice.We intend to pay out this fund now as the organisation is winding up its activities since the aim of returning PEACE to the countries and the coast has been achieved.
Based on the laws and ethics of employment,we as civil servants working under this organisation, are not allowed to operate a foreign account.
This is the more reason why we needed your assistance to provide an account that can sustain this fund for safe keeping and our future investment with your comprehensive advise,assistance and partnership in your country. It is however agreed,as the account owner in this deal to allow you 30% of the entire sum as compensation, 65% will be held on trust for us while 5% will be usedto defray any incidental charges and cost during the course of the transaction.
This transaction will be successfully concluded within 14 days if you accord us your unalloyed and due cooperation.You should provide the followings;
YOUR COMPANY`S NAME WITH COMPLETE ADDRESS,
TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.(if available)
THE NAME OF YOUR BANK,ITS ADDRESS WITH TEL,FAX AND YOUR ACCOUNT NUMBER, THE COMPLETE MAILING ADRRESS OF THE BENEFICIARY WITH TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
Upon the receipt of this informations,i will forward them to the organisation for ratification and subsequent payment.
As with the case of all organised (sensitive)and conspired DEALS,we solicit for your unreserved confidentiality and utmost secret in this business. We hope to retire peacefully and leave a honourable business life afterwards.There are no risks involved.
You can reach me through my private phone 00228-8522437 for more details.
Thanks while i look forward to your positive reply.Please reply back to me on my private email id if you are interested johnsondr.williams59@yahoo.com.hk
With regards.
DR. WILLIAMS JOHNSON.

I've highlighted one phrase that is rich in irony.

18 August 2009

Dear Malcolm Reynolds,
Thanks you for response to my proposal.I will start by putting things clear,I and my colleagues have not started this proposal with any intention to rip any body off or exploit any one either.This transaction is something that we want to do without any trace(s).
Money without security and rest of mind is useless.We like our honorable jobs of confidence as the chairman contract awarding committee of economic community of west African states(ECOWAS). We would like to leave the job on our own out of personal volution and not to be handled as distends. I and my colleagues are still members of this ecowas organization and will never want our name dainted,this is over invoiced amount as i told you and the original contractor that executed this contract has been dully paid and this over invoiced amount of usd 32m is still in escrew account waiting for claim.
We would have putting claim over this money but for the fact that we are civil servants,we are not allowed to operate a foreign account and that is the reason why we contacted you for an assistance,by providing an account which i will submit to the economic community of west African states approving body for approval where the fund is presently as it is not in our custody We do not want to have any hitch in this transaction as a result of delays and in the process of putting USD32,000,000.00 at stake. We have been in the ecowas organization for years and know what can make a transaction of this kind to backfire. This will mean toying with our career which we don,t want.
I am assuring you that soon as you forward to me your bank details and the contract is approved, which i know quite alright because all the arrangements has been puting in place awaiting for your bank informations.i will also send to you the copies of the approval documents as soon as it is approved for your perusal.
As we have stated earlier in the introductory letter we sent to you that you will have only 30% of USD32,000,000.00 after the transfer of this fund to your account, while we take 65%. As you know we have 5% set aside for this expenses which we shall take from this fund as soon as the transaction is over before the normal sharing as stated above.
This point is very clear. Please take your time and decide if it is acceptable to you. Otherwise, we will not want to start at all.This will complicate issues if we should start processing everything in your name for you to come up with a negative reaction later, due to these conditions not well explained to you at this time.
Please I will still want us to continue as friends even if there is no possibility for you to work with us in this regard.
Now I think everything is very clear. We are only interested in getting this transaction successfully concluded within 7 working days as soon as the contract is approved. We know that 65% of USD32,000,000.00 is enough for us to live comfortable till we die and so is your own 30%.
Greed kills.
My Word:This transaction is risk-free,legal and legitimate,Also will never involve any one along the line if only you are ready to follow our guidelines. All you need to do is to understand that the watchword is confidentiality and trust.Do not expose this to your friends to protect this transaction from suffering a hitch anywhere along the line. Everything is legal and will be legally done. There is nothing different from the normal bank fund transfer procedure.
All we need is your maximum cooperation and maturity to see that we finally smile together as one, in few days from now.Please feel free to ask any question. By calling me on my direct Cell phone No:Tel 00228 852437
I look forward to hearing from you asap.
Yours faithfully,
Dr.Williams Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds

Some background wouldn't hurt in building up the persona.

Dr Johnson,
Let me state right up that I don't have a business background or a company. Until 2004 I served in the United States Marine Corps; since then I've been teaching survival methods in the US and Canada and now Australia.

I look forward to hearing from you asap.

Malcolm Reynolds
Dr Johnson,
Since it's time to open up...
I'm a retired US Marine, born in Charleston, South Carolina, but currently living in Alice Springs in central Australia. I'm 41 and single, though in a steady relationship; Inara is an alternative therapist (not something I really believe in, though to be fair, she gets results).
After 18 years in the Corps, and rising to the rank of Captain, I had to take an honourable discharge on medical grounds after an IED blast in Iraq left me with perforated eardrums and inner ear damage that left me effectively deaf with regard to radios and telephones.
I noticed you mentioned God's part in this deal. Let's keep things on a practical level. Service in both Gulf Wars and Somalia hasn't left me with any real belief in God - any God.
Give my regards to Ruth. What are your children's names?
Malcolm Reynolds

26 August 2009

Dear Malcolm ,
Thanks for your mail and all contents well noted,i believe with God all things is possible,as my business partner,the major thing i want you to know in life is prayer,he is the key to sauces,i want you to be praying with me for the success of this transaction,i am also happy that you are God fearing person which made my mind at ease.
Be informed that the contract is undergoing it's normal process,there are some measures i would like us to adopt for the interest of this transaction.You know,it is not everybody that collect tips from us towards the smooth processing of this transaction will be sincere.You do know that the inclination of the heart of man is bad as you also know that critical times are hard to deal with unless one tactically applies GOD given wisdom.
It is possible that some people who feel otherwise might secretly recommend that this payment be investigated first before payment and one sure way to do this is by ironically contacting you at my back for one information or the other,just to get hold of anything that would stop the payment.I suppose you know that some people are that mischievous.
You Might receive any letter similar to this or any kind,i beg you,do not respond to any,because it might be from the investigation department to verify really if you are the contractor of this fund,so therefore ,any letter you might receive ,do not hesitate to forward it to me for advise.
In view of this,from now on,we code this transaction as ECO both by phone and e-mail.Thus,any call or e-mail without this code is definitely not from me and should please be disregarded and not to be responded to.This is just for the interest of this our transaction.
All my mails henceforth will have ECO as the subject;same also when i call you or you call me on phone.Please this is very important as what is worth doing is worth doing well as i always try to be careful in every thing in life that i put my hands in and behold,it has been working for me.
So far so good,i wish to let you know that i have obtain(a) certificate of registration in your name which will clearly show that you are a registered contractor with Ecowas organization as i told you.
(b))a contract completion certificate which is supposed to have been issued when the contract was executed.
c) certificate of incorporation for your name.All these as been attached to the application for onward processing. I have already seen the relevant head of departments incharge of these documents prior to when we are to submit the application.
The essence of these documents,apart from attaching them to the application for subsequent approvals,is also to justify the Legal source of the funds when it finally gets into your account.Before the end of tomorroa,i know the file will be passed to the accountant general department for clearance.Let us therefore keep our fingers crossed and be praying to God for the contract to approve in your favour.So lets be praying because prayer is the Key to all sucess.
Attached is my identification for your kind perusal and i will like you to send me your photo too for my record.
My blessed children names are; Faith,Roseline,Melissa and the little bouncing boy is David,i will bring all to your country after the conclusion of this transaction and i will equally extend your greeting to Ruth as you have said. I promise that i will be giving you day to day briefing of every stage..Should there be any question or whatsoever,please contact me immediately +228 8522437.
I want you to provide me your direct number.
Thank you and GOD bless you.
Regards
Dr.Williams Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds

A small slap seems to be in order.

Dr Johnson,
I think you read my email but you sure as hell weren't paying attention!
First - "i am also happy that you are God fearing person which made my mind at ease" - what I wrote you was "Service in both Gulf Wars and Somalia hasn't left me with any real belief in God - any God".
Then there's this: "All my mails henceforth will have ECO as the subject;same also when i call you or you call me on phone" - you missed this bit - "an IED blast in Iraq left me with perforated eardrums and inner ear damage that left me effectively deaf with regard to radios and telephones".
I hope this sort of thing doesn't happen again.
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson

He sent some documents and a photo that's probably of someone unconnected with this scam, so it's not included.

The documents appear below.

27 August 2009

Dear brother Malcolm,
Thanks for your mail,i had carefully gone through your mail very well,i quite unbderstood all the contents very well and a matter of fact such thing will not happen again,please pardon me.I am very happy to inform you that the almighty GOD has done for us. I have successfully gotten all the approvals of the contract and today the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL has finally signed the final approval which I am sending to you now by attached mail.
The office of the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL really gave me tough time but I thank GOD that his secretary whom I gave some good money really tried his possible best to ensure that his boss signed the final approval of the contract.
I would have sent it by fax to you for your perusal but I decided to send it to you by attached mail for security reasons. So below is the approval documents from the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL and from the office of TECHNICAL DIRECTOR.
I really thank the almighty GOD for making this transaction a reality because everything is set for transfer as the ACCOUNTANT GENERAL has signed the final approval and have instructed the paying bank to transfer without delay.
My dear brother Malcolm, please all my hope is on you for now because I have spent a lot of money to ensure that this contract is approved for payment. I must confess to you that I left with nothing for now and if by any means this transaction delayed, I will be in problem because I can not be able to feed my family.
Please note that I have confided in you hoping that you will never let me down by diverting this money to unknown destination or sit on my share of the money after transferring to your account in your country,although I have every trust in you hoping that you will never do any bad to me.
I will be coming along with the other documents to your country as soon as you confirm the money in your account.
Please you can see that I have concluded my assignment and now henceforth,you will be at alert because the paying bank will contact you any moment from now and what ever you might receive from the bank,you should resend it to me for a review to avoid any mistake from you OK.
Please find below the attached approval documents for your perusal and records. I will be coming to your country with other related documents when you confirm the money in to your bank account.
Thank you and GOD bless.
I will be waiting your urgent response,
My kind regards,
Dr. Williams Johnson.

After going through the approval document and the letter of the UTB bank, I read and understand that you have been requsted to travel down to there office for the signning of the fund release order that will enable there authority to transferred the contract fund in to your account.
Now, my question is that can you be able to prepare and travel down to the UTB office before on the 10th of this month given you? and if not, I will advise you to quickly contact the UTB bank authority to give you the contact of there government bank attorney for you to contact him to sign it on your behalf because I can read clearly in there approval document that whereby you can not come that you should hire the services of there bank attorney to sign it on your behalf.
I will advise you to follow and abide with the UTB bank authority rules and instructions to enable you to meet up with there given date because I would not want this transaction which God has already seen us through to be delayed because the people who I have borrowed some money from, keeps worrying me and which I promised to paid them back soon,as soon as the fund get transferred in to your account.
I will be waiting your urgent response and update my dear brother.
Thank you very much and remain blessed.

Mal decided to slap the Banker Lad through the other Lad. Slaps are often best done from a discreet distance, so to speak.

Dr Johnson,
Actually their deadline was the 7th, and a stupid one too. It gave me no time to clear things up here, get visa'd up, get vaccinations and buy tickets. It's like they wanted me not to come over. I've told them to extend so I can get over there easily.
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson
03 September 2009

Mr Malcolm,
I read your mail and the contents is well noted,i am happy that you are willing to come down and sign the release order yourself,it really good that you have told the bank to extend more time for you so that you could be able to get your visa and ticket down here and please take note that Togo here my country is free visa country, all you need to do is to buy a ticket straight to Lome City and Republic of Togo is the Country.
It will be a great pleasure to welcome you at the airport with my family,as soon as the release order is signed and the bank transfer the funds in to your account,i shall be following you back to Australia for the sharing then after i will come back to pick my family.
Brother,how long will it take you to gather all the requirement and come down here??
I will be waiting your urgent response my dear brother.

07 September 2009

Dear Malcolm,
I received your mail but i do not understood the contents very well,please can you tell me the problem in getting a visa to Togo?
In a second thought, i will suggest we go for the bank accredited attorney to act on your behalf for the signing release order,maybe his consultation fees will be more preferable than the ticket expense,what do you think Mr Malcolm?
I still need your urgent response,
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr Williams,
I have no gorram idea why they should be dragging their feet on this! But if there's nothing within the next few days, it may have to be done locally.
What are your projections on the likely cost of the attorney?
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson

Some days pass, and the Lad seems concerned.

12 September 2009

Goodday sir,
How are you doing today,hope and trust all is well over there?
Like to know about your preparation of coming to my country because of the mandate giving to you by the UTB bank,please sir what are you up to in regards this situation?
Your urgent response will be highly needed,
Dr Johnson

Dr Johnson,
It's a bust. The consulate now says they've lost my file. Pen-pushing no-loads!
I'll need that lawyer after all.

I let some more days slip by to raise anxiety levels.

17 September 2009

Why did you kept silent this days,what is going on over there?
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds

OK, now it's time to throw a major monkey wrench into this scam, but subtly, you know...

Dr Johnson,
I don't understand - Mr Boswell should have kept you updated. You people should talk to each other more.
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson
17 September 2009

Please who is Mr Boswell,and dose he have to do with this business??
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr Johnson,
Mr Boswell is your gorram PA!
For the love of Pete - have you been drinking?
Like I said, you people need to communicate better.
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson

Now this is the kind of reaction that a baiter dreams of...

18 September 2009

Hey my friend,
I had never refer any Mr Boswell to you in this transaction,how come you acrossed Mr Boswell and who is the Mr Boswell?what business do you have with him,are you sure,you are not trying to divert this money in to unknow account. Please this buisness is my live and only hope if any thing happen to my funds,i will use my africa native juju to kill you there in your country.OK.
Because i am quite very sure that i have never introduce you to any so called Mr Boswell.
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr Johnson,
Holy shit on a shingle - Mr Boswell said you'd been under stress, but this just goes too far. "i will use my africa native juju to kill you there in your country.OK"? I'm going to forward this to Mr Boswell as you need professional help fast!
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson
18 September 2009

My friend,
I said again to you that i do not know any Mr Boswell,i have never in this business talk about Mr Boswell,please can you forward the massage i sent to you that Mr Boswell is under stressed,what is all this??please don't make me die here,i have never had rest in my mind since all this Mr Boswell started,forward the mail of Mr Boswell to me now?
I am waiting anxiously for your response,
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds

Now to push up the game a notch...

Dr Johnson,
Mr B0swell explained what happened, though he didn't have to be so gorram crude about it. I couldn't care less that you're homosexual - though picking up teenage boys was always a risk, and being found out by your wife and kids must be a bad way to come out. I understand you must need time to get over it and work out what to do with your life.
Don't fixate on Mr B0swell - he's just doing his job and he isn't responsible for what happened. Don't worry, I'll see you get your 65% as agreed. You can start a new life anywhere you want. San Francisco or Sydney would be good places.
Malcolm Reynolds
Dr. Williams Johnson

Confusion reigns...

21 September 2009

i don't understand what you are talking about?where is my funds,have you confirm it in your account?
Dr Johnson
Malcolm Reynolds

This won't help.

Dr Johnson,
You're in denial - not a good sign. Face up to what you are, man! Being gay shouldn't be such a big deal, right?
Mr Boswell was very rude about you and I had to tell him that it doesn't make a difference as far as I'm concerned. I'm a bit annoyed about having to be the messenger, but it seems that there's no other way.

Four days later...

Dr Johnson,
Things are on track, so far - it should be another week or ten days at the most and the transfer will be done and dusted.
Have you worked out where you're going from here? Whatever you decide, you/d better get it picked out soon!

Three days after that...

Dr Johnson,
Just a report - Mr Boswell told me I shouldn't write you, that he'd keep you in the loop, but I thought you'd want to hear from me.
We've had problems with clearances and this may take some time to get through.
Just be patient. Have you decided where you want to go when this is done and dusted?

Doctor Johnson seems ready to finally give up.

Dr Johnson,
I'm sorry I wrote to you now if that rant is all the thanks I get. I should have listened to Mr Boswell.
FYI I'm not stopping anything and you can't give this to anyone else. You'll get your money because I keep my word.
You'll hear from me when the job is done and I hope that you're grateful then.

And so the game seemed to be over.
But the Lad thought he could recoup somehow, and played a familiar card (see WE CAN SHARE THE JOY (an Eliza Dane adventure)). India makes a change from Paraguay though.

Dr Johnson,
You shouldn't be doing that. Mr Boswell explained that you'd been committed and frankly you should stay there until the deal's done. You can't be in denial forever.
We've had trouble with some of the Anti-Terrorist documentation but Mr Boswell assured me that we should have results soon.
I'm sorry about your family and that you lost your house, but you have to expect that if you keep your man-love secret for so long.
I'll be in touch. In the meantime just take your medication and think positive.
Malcolm Reynolds

And with that, Dr Johnson did give up.
