Dear Mr Booker

You have indeed struck lucky and as you have found a brother in faith and we can most certainly help you. I am curious though why you would wish to keep such a large amount of the money for yourself with such a short time to live. We could do much good work for you with the whole balance. We are in the process of starting a new foundation at our resort and would be delighted to name the building after you, The Garry Bookey Building. Please let me know what I need to do

Dear Mr Broker

I can assure you the the Church of the Sultans of Swing is more than capable of transferring and dealing with this sort of value. Before I joined the order, I was an MD and can indeed see that you are attached to the hypo gumption machine. I am slightly concerned though that you appear to have a Fletsenbaum device attached. These have proved most unreliable in the past.
Any how, we prayed for you yesterday and will continue to do so. Brother Peter File ( he plays with our younger members in our order) and Brother Ray Pisst (who looks after the females in our order) held a special prayer meeting for you so we hope you feel our blessings.

I await your contact

I hope that your spelling improves with your health. I will contact the bank. However, all you have said is to contact the bank and ask them what to do. Im sure in your poorly state you are of feeble mind you have simply neglected to give me the information I am surely going to need. I can hardly email a bank and say, "tell me what to do".

Dear Dr Tunde Lemon

I am contacting you with reference to the fund currently in the name of the above. Our prayers are with Gary. We prayed for him last night and Brother Le Bon decided that he wasn't going to save a prayer for him now, but was going to save it til the morning after. Brother Tennant says he is always on our mind. Its a sin that someone who has obviously turned to good should suffer but soon he will be where the streets have no name, at the right hand of the almighty. We held a prayer meeting with the local village people at the YMCA recently. There were many new faces as apparently some were in the navy and visiting. He has our thoughts.

To expedite this as soon as possible, please tell me what actions are now required on my part,

Dear Gaz

I have contacted the bank as you have intimated and emailed Dr Lemon requesting further instructions. You may be pleased to know that the new recording studio on the resort has been completed. We played last night until we had stiff little fingers. The sound was a clash of noise. I didn't know whether to stay or go to be honest as my home, London, was calling as I have not been there for a while. It is full of cockney rejects and hersham boys so my mind is all in a dither. What would you suggest? As someone who is not in their own country as I am, would you not prefer to return home to get some bungee jumping in before you journey into the great yonder that is the afterlife?

We do receive and noted the content of your message.

It has being a log time we receive an email from Garry about this fund how to transfer this fund to you but we are only waiting to hear from you.

Garry is a very good customer with our bank here and have a BALANCE PRESENTLY TOTALLING the sum of 2.millon dollars in our bank and we are ready to transfer this fund into your account without any hitch.

But it will only cost you {1.250 British pounds sterling} for our transfer charges/administrative/attestation and you will pay this money before we can transfer this fund into your account.

And all we need from you is how to transfer this fund and your banking information is required, home address/office also.

I wait for your urgent response.

I have emailed the bank, twice now, but have yet to hear back from this Mr Lemon fellow. Are you sure you can trust him and he isnt going to use the details to rip you off? Perhaps you could chase the bank as they know you.
The new Madonna single has just been recorded at our studio on the resort. Its most excellent. You should look out for it assuming that they let you have cd players and that sort of thing in your hospital.

It seems that my initial worries were correct. I have heard from this Lemon bloke and he tells me you only have 2 million in the account, not the 43 million you told me you had. I think he has been stealing your money quite honestly. I should contact them most urgently. I wont proceed with anything until I have heard from you as I don't want to exacerbate the situation without your say so. I have some good people who are experts in private investigation if you are interested. They don't want money for nothing and will do a most excellent job for you.

We shall pray that bad things happen to this Lemon chap at the bank. We have an old Iron Maiden in our museum for the evil that men do. Can I play with madness I sometimes ask myself but that draws me to the number of the beast who says that we should bring our daughters to the slaughter. I hope that this will be enough for him to see his wicked ways.

By the way, you didn't answer my question about the resort angel (I enclose her picture for you) as she would really like to meet you. She is soon to have leave and is in fact from your country so she thought it might be nice to see a zealander.

It will indeed be a most palatial and tranquil place. All the whores will thank you and pray to you every day. Each will have their own room and all the whores will be most grateful to you and your kindness.

Dear Mr Lemon

Please find enclosed my Smegaroonian drivers licence. Upon my travels to the bank, I have found that they do not have a facility to transfer the money via Western Union nor is there an office on the island. They have helpfully suggested that if you give them your account details of your bank, they will happily transfer the money into your account for no charge.
I am astounded however, that the president would be bothered to consult with you on this matter. I was not even aware that something like this would be of interest to them or how they would find out about it.
We have a good relationship with his office so I will drop President Umaru Yar'Adua a quick note of thanks for his time and trouble

"Adversities breaks the souls" may i have the president informations so that we can not leave the object for the shardow. no international transfer with out due process.

Do you know what he is on about? Is he a drinker and was perhaps on his 3rd or 4th bottle of firewater or whatever it is that you fellas like to indulge in??

Dear Mr Lemon

As I dont have a clue what you are talking about, I can only assume that you have partaken of some drinking during your working hours. I have forwarded your mail onto Gazza to see if he can make head or tail of it because its quite simply meaningless. You should be ashamed of yourself if you have been hitting the bottle!

Dear Valued Customer,

We have to startup the hermonization process once you paid the fee as instructed and thereafter, your funds will be wired into your nominated bank account and transfer acess code will be validated as well.

We have an appointment with the Federal Ministry Of Justice regarding the issuance of the telex copies and affidavit of claim certificates.

You have the receiver's name for western union payment and you can as well make adequate move and ensure payment and get back to us with proof of payment so that we can proceed further with out delay.

Mr.Tunde Lemo.

Dear Gary

Gazza is a friendly term in both our countries for the name Gary. It was not meant as an insult but as a friendly term. As a zealander I am suprised that you were not aware of this.
I hope you were excited by the picture announcing your new building in my last mail, the island is most excited about it. Who knows, maybe you will hang on long enough to come and open it yourself. It would be a delight to have you here in person. I have a mail from mr lemon and so will attend to it with no procrastination.

Dear Mr Lemon

I have spoken to our finance department and they are requesting a "pro Forma" from you so that this money can be obtained. Please can you supply as requested so that we can send your money. I dont know how we are going to get round this western union thing as there is not one on the island. Is there another way we can make payment?

Beneficiary,

Since there is no western union in the island,We prefer you wireinto our oil credit reserve union bank account in New-York City,USA.

We will send to you or your financial department a statement showing the projected annual income and operating expenses of a project. This is the "pro forma" as he needed by monday but payment must be made why we send to you what is required.

Dear Mr Lemon

I have spoken to our finance people and we await your pro forma so that instructions can be made to our bank to wire the money to you. Please dont delay as I think that Gary has little time left in this world.
You must attend to this urgently. Please send me the documents or you can send them to our head of finances, Peter ( peter_stuartsonson@yahoo.co.uk) who will attend to them post haste.
We pray that Gary is able to last for the remaining few days of this transaction and we know that you will not delay and let down a dying man

Dear Garry

I have contacted Mr Lemon at the bank and instructed him on the actions to take. Sister Ann Eurism had a brainstorm and we have begun a fund raiser for you to go towards your hospital expenses and to make a donation in your name to the hospital. Can you find out which doctor we should be contacting with regards to this. I know that time is short and that we will not fail you.

Dr Hfuhruhurr our local specialist is also happy to fly out to your hospital, at our expense of course, to liase with your Dr so it would be most helpful if you can provide his details

Dear Gary

He emailed me on Saturday afternoon which we received Sunday (that was only yesterday!!!), I responded to him today? By the power of spark plugs you don't hang around with your chasing demands.
It is becoming rather tiresome that you seem to be unable to wait any reasonable time. You must appreciate that there is a time difference between us and regardless of how serious your condition is, we are unable to change that.

Dear Mr Lemon

We are awaiting the pro forma invoice from you. Once we receive that we can make the payment you request and all this information will be supplied to you along with the remittance. Time is running out on this. I am sure that Mr Brokkey is on his last legs. His last email to me made me think that he is not long for this world so dont hang about old chap and get me the pro forma as soon as possible.

Dear Dr Uba

I have been conversing with Garry for some time and I understand he is on his last legs and shortly to depart this world. The Church of the Sultans of Swing would like to make a contribution to your good selves for his treatment and to allow you to buy the things that you really need. Probably about $50,000 if thats acceptable to you.
Please can you tell us the exact nature of Gary's condition as medical donations from our order are quite strict and we need to have as much information as possible. Its purely a formality really. Yesterday we all said prayers for him. This was led by Sister Ann Eurism who prayed for his easy transition into the afterlife. Perhaps you could copy our medical doctor on your reply Dr_will_seeyounow@xxxxx.xxx.xx as none of the medical terms will mean anything to me Im sure.

I thank you in advance for your time which I am sure is as precious as custard is

Remain Blessed and Swinging

Dear Garry

You are once again, faster to chase me following a mail than a fanny rat at a fanny rats conference featuring a fanny rats favourite fanny. I have emailed Mr Lemon as he is still to provide us with a pro forma invoice so that we can make the payment he is requiring. Perhaps you can chivvy him up a bit. He is quite sharp and I know that time is running out quicker than a fox being chased by a herd of wildebeests on the plains of the Serengeti. I would hate to be so close to getting you whats deserved to have it pulled from underneath me like a carpet made of custard.

I have also emailed your Dr. Ubo and so am waiting for some information from him and have asked him to contact our medical doctor, Dr Will Seeyounow to discuss the medical stuff. I am not medical and wouldn't have a scooby what they were talking about.

Dear Garry

I have not heard from Dr Uba but I have had another extremely odd mail from your Mr Lemon chap. He really is most odd. We are waiting to pay the fund for the release of the documents but need a proforma invoice to draw the money against and Mr Lemon is being most obtructive and seriously trying to skupper the plan I fear. I strongly suggest that you look for a different man to manage your affairs as the way he is acting is likely to put your whole plan in jeopardy and fail to complete before you toddle off this mortal coil and stop pining for the Fjords. Perhaps I can suggest one of my colleagues from the finance department. They are all fully qualified and can expedite this asap for us all.
