The unfortunate Mr Vangal manages to send the same scam letter to, and thus separately antagonize
- Mikhail Stroganov (ex-KGB, now in publishing and 'investments' and advisor to Lady Agatha Bristol, CBE of the Foreign Office)
- Lonslo Tossov, Lady Agatha's exceptionally abrasive solicitor
- Sir Marmite Luny-Binns, her courtier (some hint at a closer relationship) who also takes an avuncular interest in the safety and marriage prospects of Princess Candice Windsor, daughter of HRH Margaret (not THE one), both of whom appear in this correspondence only by reference (for now at any rate).

Scamorama thus embarks on another experiment in combining multiple correspondences, this time using playscript format. Previous efforts failed. We shall see. Because of this bold experiment, entries may not be strictly chronological. Lie back and think of Caryl Churchill. Enjoy the scamosity.

Attn:SIR/MADAM.

I need a trustworthy and honest person who i can rely on. I am a citizen of IVORY COAST{COTE"D IVOIRE} the second son to the slain Minister of Mines and Energy who was killed during the IVORY COAST{COTE"D IVOIRE} war by the rebels. I am now residing in ACCRA GHANA, west-africa.My father died and left behind physical cash of $14.7Million US dollars, Which he safely deposited in a security house during his regime in the office. I need a foreign partner who can stand as my father foreign partner so that we can retreive the money from the security company.

My father foreign partners are now having a business relationship with the present minister of mines and energy,i have nothing to do with them because of my security.

I am hereby soliciting your assistance to help me get the money out of the present location. If you are willing to assist me,you can reach through my confidential email address :vangalizu1@ecplaza.net, so we will now enter modalities of percentage.

Dear Mr Vangal

I am astonished that you have somehow discovered this top secret address. However it may be possible that we can do some business together if you can reassure me as to your discretion. The recent fire at Chegwin Manor has meant that we face some unexpected refurbishment costs, and are currently looking for finance.

If you would be so good to send me more details then I will bring it to the attention of Princess Margaret.
