Subject: SC AMORAMA NIGERIA LIMITED soon registered! [NOT a typo]

From a Kindly Contributor in France.
He has chosen the running title "Lady Agatha's fish meets a frog".

Dr. LePage has suggested we edit any grammar mistakes,
but his English is PLENTY good enough for the likes of us,
and we do not wish to dilute its charm.
It's good enough for the Lads too, by cracky.

It is our national feast today 14th of July and I have thought it was the right day
to launch Sc amorama Nigeria Ltd under the sign of "liberté, égalité, fraternité"
(no chauvinism, it is an universal motto, including for Nigeria!

[We cannot imagine a less chauvinist motto.]

WELCOME TO SC AMORAMA NIGERIA LIMITED

[Foreword]

Milady Agatha [see the Agatha-Sabastine chronicles],

I do not want to start a diplomatic war between UK and France right now. I really wish to give your HerSelf my flattest apologies - as flat as the frog the truck just ran over.

Sad to say, but I have baited your Sabastiny fish.

But I can explain everything.

You know how things are, those Lads in Nigeria do not care. I only got 2 scam mails in two months. In total despair I have picked up (by hand) Mr. SabasToon's email address in your report
http://scamorama.com/agatha-sabastine.html.

But please, please (please) don't tell Agent Miracsky. I do not want him going berserk at me. I have got a bullet-proof jacket but Dad told me it is a free sample that works only in case the rabbit fires back at you.

Madame, please would you accept my humble homage in the most discombobulated manner?

v Dear F. Lepage,

I am very happy to read from you and also delighted on your willingness to help.

Well, I have to reassure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. But all we require from you is absolute trust and committment in this transaction until the money confirms in your bank account. Moreover, this transaction deserves alot of confidentiality.

Finally, I will like to have your mobile, telephone and fax numbers for easy and better communication. As soon as I receive all the above informations, I shall call you for oral discussion.

Waiting your immediate response.

Best regards,

Martins Sabastine.

Dear Mr Sebastine

Many thanks for your reply. I hope my bad English you can accept as far as I use a tranlation with a computer software that makes it. I would be no use for you to get my telephone because if can read and write English whit the help of the computer program but I do not speak it and coold not understand yours. But I can read your emails. So I propose we keep the email discussion.

No problem for confidentiality. I am a retired (pensioneer) doctor and I have the use of most rigourous secret. You can also trust me as as a doctor I am not use to steal people. The more, I do not need the money for my self because I did well the good job when I was an active doctor. The money will be employed for a orphan association that I take care because I have lot of free time now.

But the first thing I want it is to be certain the transaction is LEGAL. I would be happy if you fax me document proofing that the transaction does not have to do with stollen money or other non legal money. You should have documents proofing that. Please send them by email under the form of attached bits or by fax at my number 17024420326 (Confidential number because I receive the fax by email and only I can have access to my mail chest).

Thank you for your prompt reply. Please ask me again if you do not understand something with my bad English.

Dear Francois Lepage,

Thanks for your good letter and trustworthness. I would like to hear your voice on phone so give your phone number. i will send the required documents with time, as the ministry approves the transfer.

Mr. Martins.

[All my emails in "English" below were first spot out by some " langage tool " supposed to do perfect translations from plain Froggish to Good Ould Oxford English. I have ajusted the text by removing the machine's errors and adding more Frenchglish by hand. I thing the French flavor of the end result is overhelming (feel free to open more windows)]

Pr F. Lepage

Dear M Martins

Thank you very much of your answer. You ask me for my telephone numbers but they would not be useful, and probably dangerous. Like I you already made known as, I do not speak the English and I could not dialogue with you. Moreover, you said as that this transaction was strictly confidential. My wife always answers on the telephone the first, and I do not want she suspects something. More addition I want to make her the surprise of all that money, if at least you are serious, and if this transaction is LEGAL, sorry I insist, and I do not want to give wife false hope for our association of orphans of which she is very busy with too. And you know perhaps the old French saying we tell here " Forget the dog, beware of the wife " !

Now, lend me your telephone number, I can try to call you when wife my is going outside.

I give again to you my number of fax where you can send the documents: 17024420326.

When your Minister for Petroleum have does to approve the transfer? What he waits?

Thank you for your quick time reply.

Dear Mr Martins

Thank you for your electric mail.

I checked on the tariffs to telephone to you from Paris and that is crazy nigaud : it costs 5 euros the minute and that is the skin of the bottom as we say here! Like I allradis said to you, I have enough money but I do not love the wasting. To spend 10 or 15 euros just to telephone Africa and say to you good day and not to be capable to discuss with you since I do not speak English, it would be really really frustrating and sticky wasting. I really have to prefer to give that money to the poor kid opening the door at the supermarket or to our Parish priest.

It is for thus as far better to continue to discuss ourselves between by email or fax.

You ask for the name and adress of my company to me. Odd it is because I wrote to you that I am a professor of medicine at the retirement and that I occupe myselves with one association for orphanes and other any poor childs to help them to have curses at school. I aint not have a commercial company but only this non profit association (I am the president).

If you need really a bank earl of commercial company and not that of one particular man like myselves, I coold not to be help for you. I do not sea what to dil or do, or maybe create a new company in Nigeria? Is that possible from France with your local help? How much that it does cost? Thank you for your answer

Do not forget to fax to myselves as soon as probable the documents evidancing deep house the transaction is LEGALE. It is important for myselves to can be able to trust you totally. I will gard the peppers private and confeedentail.

My fax one more time I give : 17024420326. Do not be shy to use it. I am the only one myselves that can sea the faxes. Wife cannot access my computer because the only thing she know about computers is that it these are dusty things with wires all over the flour !

Also you do not tell what waits your Minister for Petroleum to free the funds. Please tell me more over that.

Looking forward in future hope to estramasse you bien bien comme il faut!

Dear Pr F. Lepage,

Spending 50 euro for a call that will build trust in a transaction that will wild millions of Euro is not a waste from my own judgement or estimation.

All the same, I will send documents that will show you that this transaction is LEGAL only when I have incorporated your name as a registed company in Nigeria. The formal registration will legalize the transaction through the help of our lawyer.

I suggest we use (F.Lepage Nigeria Limited). If this company name will be acceptable to you, the lawyer will go ahead and incorporate the above suggested company name in Nigeria. Although this will cost alot and will also require guarantee letters of three company owners in Nigeria and Tax clearance. It is estimated to cost US$15,750.00 only and will take few days as we have contracted the best and reputable attorney in Nigeria.

With our positions in NNPC and relevance in Nigeria Government of today under the leadership of President Obasanjo, the Minister of Petroleum will approve payment immediately we acheive the above registration.

Also note that we have paid part payment of legal charges to the Lawyer to the tune of $21,600 out of the $45,700 he charged for the legal and positive conclusion of this transaction.

With the above facts and figures you can see that we are working very hard to assure the smooth conclusion of this transaction without any hitch.

As soon as the company is registered the verious ministries will be contacting you and will send all needed document and followed contract payment. So there is no need to panic, but all we need from you reliablity and transperancy.

Awaiting your immediate reply.

Best regards,

Mr. Martin Sabastine.

Dear M Martin

I am sorry but I think you had done a mistake thereby.

You said that cost to create new company like F.Lepage Nigeria Limited is US$15,750.00 "only" ?

Is it that US$15.75 ? Or the amount not in US$?

You said this is a serious affair, check out your books and please tell me the correct price.

Dear Francois Lepage,
The registration of company in Nigeria and that of France may differ greatly because the two are diiferent independent nations and have different policies. Moreover, registration of company in Nigeria are categorized according to contract capacity. That is to say that any company that will execute multi-million contract must be registered as I explain to you in accordance to Nigerian Company and Allied matter constitution. Your company name will be registered as 'A' Catergory. Which is the highest company catergory in Nigeria and can execute contracts worth of any amount.
We decided to register in this catergory to ensure hitch free transaction and 100% risk free.
Please let me know your stand about the name of compay to enable the lawyer start work he has been paid for.
Awaiting your reply.
Best regards,
Mr.Martins Sabastine.

Dear M Martins

Thank you very much of your detailed answer.

Of course the economics in our two countries are different stuff, but let me say to you that your lawyer is sticky expensive: $45,700! He must be very rich! Are you ascertain he his the right good man ?

You are right: since aforementionned lawyer above was already paid in advance, best he does the job immediately. You can of curse tell him he can email myselves directly if he wants precise details.

For the name of the company, I do not like very much F.LEPAGE NIGERIA LIMITED because it has my name there inside and to be discrete I want.

Is this would be possible to have SOVEREIGN CHARITY AMOR-AMA NIGERIA LIMITED as company name for? That is the translation of the name of our association for the orphans: in Latin, amor = love (the name) and ama = love ! (imperative). The name of our association was found by Abbe Canne, our local priest, who is fluently Latin, and I think that that will please to him when we finish our business you and meselves. By the way, are you Christian ? If you are Moslem, not problem, it is same Good after all!

I think that it would be great to extend our orphan activities in France for the poor children in Nigeria and to create immediately the company for that will do the job either.

Since you are on the spot, do you know someone, a doctor like me, who care of orphans without money and their parents in Nigeria? If so, thank you to give me his address email so that I can help him when our business between you and myselves is concluded.

I can also give him good addresses, for example that of health insurance for the French doctors, the MACSF, which gives us money for our association. These MACSF people are ready to help. You can see their Internet site at http://www.macsf.fr but it is in French!

Did you learn French when you were with the school?

Thank you very much of your response, specially for the company name.

[Please note that SOVEREIGN CHARITY AMOR-AMA has nothing to do with SCAMORAMAÉ The MACSF really is my health insurance and I really am a Doctor - but not a Professor. The MACSF site is real, of course. But read from right to left the abbreviation of my dear, very dear, health insurance's name. What do you get ? F* SCAM. And that's exactly my point !]

[*still same IP somewhere in UK. Network is owned by an company in Israel. A cyber cafe?]

Dear Dr.Francois Lepage,

Your mail has been received and content well understood. The lawyer is one of the highest paid attorneys in Nigeria and he is specialized in Energy and petroleum law.

The company name you chose is good since it has something to do with charity organization you run in France. So the lawyer will go ahead to register the name as follows: SOVEREIGN CHARITY AMOR-AMA NIGERIA LIMITED. After paying the lawyer half of his funds, I got short of funds for the registration of company name, I think this will delay this a bit. Please let me know if you can help financially to enable us register and conclude quick.

I am a Christian and God fearing, so what is your denomination?

Moreover, I have taken a look at your associations website and will give every other details about a Dr. that operates such a home but we have to conclude one transaction at a time.

As soon as the company is registered I will fax the certificate of Incorporation to your fax number, for you to laminate and keep.

The lawyer's email Address is: barrichwilliams@justicemail.com

You can contact him and he will brief you on the procedures.

Best regards,

Dear Master Willams,

I am in liaison with Mr. Martins Sabastine for the creation of company SOVEREIGN CHARITY AMOR-AMA NIGERIA LIMITED.

I realized that the name is a little long for the administrative forms, etc, and you can shorten it in SC AMORAMA NIGERIA LIMITED. It is what we do in France for our association orphans which has the same name in French (I joint a paper with a head).

Mr. Martins told me that you could brief me on the procedures and I thus thank you with advance for agreeing to answer me on this point.

Sincerely

Pr F. Lepage

Dear Mr Martins

I have written to Master Williams Lawyer and I put you in copy. I do not speak to him immediately about his fees since he was already paid the half. In France as in Nigeria, I suppose one pays people after the work and not before. It is normal Master Williams Lawyer has received a payment in advance, but he needs finish the job adequately before receiving the other half, if I can suggest. I do no know either if he is fully informed onto the nature of transaction and I prefer to stay discrete in a first time.

Into my other hand, I have still not received your fax showing that this transaction is legal. I am sure that you are honest, but I must be careful and I cannot help you by engaging money without any proof from someone I do not know yet very well but I happy that you are a Christian. It is more easy to trust people who share the same feeling about charity and love for the others.

Thank you for your comprehension and your answer. And as we said in France : je te le mettrai bien bien ! (approx translation : you farewell well!)

Mr Martins

I have not received any response meselves from Lawyer Williams nor from you even.

Master Lawyer Williams got very substantial fees in advance and do not tell me he does not work on Saturday. For the money he got he must be able to work night and day without breakfast or shoes as we say in France!

I doubt if I can trust Lawyer Williams in any way.

I would like to ask you to accelerate things a bit. I leave on July 27 to our holyday house in Spain and I have aint got no connection to Internet down there.

If we want to conclude this transaction, it is necessary for you to go QUICK!

I am not used to wait and wait for ages and old years. In all my life as a doctor specialized in the emergency ward I have saved many people life only because I was quick blowing them with the life kiss at the right place and press hard under and on their breast and they say thank you with shiny eyes when they recovered. Probably you have seen that "ER" series at the television. We had it in France with "medical" translations that gave me a good laugh and cough. If I had said these sentences to my past staff they would have said are you ET phoning home or what? Compared with me and my past staff those people are just sticking bad!

I will send my company identity card to you via email attachment, since you do not still trust me after such introduction. The great question remains how would I trust you with such a huge sum of money when you even dont have an atom of trust on my personality. Thanks for recognising me as God fearing chrstian.

Dear Mr SAN,

Thank you for your mail about creating SC AMORAMA NIGERIA LIMITED.

US$15,750 : it is very dear to create a company in Nigeria but Mr Martins Sabastine told it is for a "A" company and I can understand.

However I am sorry to ask you that but please send me an official document from Nigeria governement you must have with the different moneys to spend to create different companies, "A", "B", "C", etc, and the corresponding privileges for these companies. I suppose the more you pay the more you have privileges as a company and I want to see those privigels.

Additionaly the more I must have this paper for my Adele Wife mine who is also the accounter for the association.

Of course I have not and shall not to tell her the exact nature of the transatzion but if I want to release founds from the orphanes assocation chest at the bank I need this paper to show her why I need a "A" company.

I will tell my Adele Wife mine it is to create a subsidiary of SC AMORAMA FRANCE in Nigeria. She will agree because mind you we received extra founds last months from the MACSF, the health insurance company that grants our association (http://www.macsf.fr) and I must spend the money before September or next year they will tell : "you have not spent this extra money, thus you did not need it and you will not get it this year and give that money back!"

They are generous but they do not give money just like you blow a duck as we say in our French letters !

Also before proceeding for the payment, I need an official bill from you with the exact natures of the expenses (register the company and your fees) and your hard-work lawyer numbers (your registration numbers as lawyer in Nigeria).

Without that my Adele Wife mine could not ask the bank to release the money from the association chest because they will request the document anyway.

Additionnally, without this document the tax services here will not accept that we substract the amount from our profits and we will pay more more taxes and it is total sticky nigaud.

I am sorry it looks a bit complex but we are not a commercial company and that is French law I can help sorry for that.

In summary, please send me
1) official prices to create a company in Nigeria;
2) a bill with your full professionnal registration numbers and coordonates and
3), as I asked you in my last mail before being able to conclude any transaction with you for SC AMORAMA NIGERIA LIMITED I need your full resume curriculum vitae (CV: studies, diplomas, experience, references, and your last tax bill in Nigeria to evidence your income). The French Agency for Work will ask for the document if I want to pay a lawyer who is not French. Sorry again it is dull but with the amount involved in our transaxetion I want to have all the papers legal here or they could fine me a lot or even sgratch me out! You can check out the French governement site http://www.legifrance.gouv.fr and you will see alas that all that is needed before any transaction between France and another country not in the European Union (it is not a special measure for Nigeria).

As receipt of ALL the above documents I will send you copy of my passport and other document you could request. Sorry, but if not, I can [editorial: cannot] proceed further

My private fax number is 17024420326 (I receive the fax via eclectic mail and I am the only one that can sea them).

As I have already told to Mr Martins I prefer not to give our telephone numbers because Adele Wife mine ever picks up the telephone first (and chats for hours with her friend Agatha!). The more I do not speak English very well and use a translation programming software to fully understand your mails et to reply you. Mr Sabastine can confirm this fact.

Please explain me also how to transfer the US$15,750 to you if I decide the transaction is OK. I have to prepare that with the bank as well. A direct bank to bank wired transfer is possible ? Does it costs ?

Thank you in advance for your answer.

I am sorry you take it bad side. If I had nut trust you the smallest bit I would have trash your first email as a joke.

You know, when you have had a doctor's life like mine you know people very well, some are kind, some are bad. They ask you for a medication for their head ache and then try to inject it by any hole. This job makes you a bit paranoid, I agree, but understand me.

I will be bery glad to see your id and your face. I trust in faces and in fact I often make faces myselves. Eyes cannot deceive a doctor. When I see eyes even on a photo I can see if the Mr or the Madam is to be trusty or tricky. So I hope yours eyes on your id card are wide shut open!

I reckon it is unfair if I see you but you cannot see me ("see me, see you" is an old traditionnal French song!)

Thus attached are two very recent photos taken in our association summer fast last week. It was a great success! We even had a splendid fire job!

The first is my with one of our orphan and the second is me with Adele Wife mine. I hope you will enjoy them.

I have forgotten to put in your right place a copy of my reply to Master lawyer SAN. I affix it below.

All the beast, Sabastine. I am not a bad man but a doctor used to the life!

Thank you for your fast answer.

En te le mettant bien bien à toi aussi! (you did not tell if you had a French thatcher when you were at school!).

What do you think? I have no clue!
