NO ABACHA LEFT BEHIND

It's bigger than Angel visiting Buffy. Bigger than Frankenstein and Dracula vs. the Wolf Man. The Foreign Office staff and ex-KGB operative Mikhail Stroganov team up with Lewis D. "Lewd" Noogie, American hotel consultant (that's his story and he's sticking to it). Hijinks ensue. Warning: this tale features lying liars lying to other lying liars. The phrases Western Union and Moneygram appear in red, just because.

Political background (yep you need it for full appreciation):
General Sani Abacha was a real, former President of Nigeria. He is dead now, or as the Lads say, Late. Very Late. The Nigerian government reportedly feels that General Abacha's family has some money belonging to the Nigerian nation. Billions of dollars. A US dollar doesn't buy what it used to, but still, that would pave a lot of highways. The Lads express their civic outrage by impersonating politicians to scam other people out of their life savings. Thus Mrs. Abacha is one of the most impersonated people on the planet. What we're trying to say is that the "Abachae" below are fakers. But you knew that.

The Cast
"Fake" Mariam Abacha - Wife of Former Nigerian Head of State
"Real" Mariam Abacha - Also Wife of Former Nigerian Head of State
Mustapha Abacha - Her Eldest Son
"Real" Mohammed Abacha - Her Other Eldest Son
Zanaib Abacha - One of Mariam's Daughters
Rasheed Rafidandi Clark [Esq.] - The Obligatory "Real" Barrister
"Fake" Mohammed Abacha - Interloper, Eldest Son, etc., etc.
and
Hamza Jubril - Another Barrister, "Fake" Mohammed Abacha's Lawyer

Lewis D. "Lewd" Noogie - International Hotel Consultant
Mikhail Stroganov - Foreign Office Operative
with assist from
Hettie Meshuganah - Personal Secretary to Sir Charles Farnes-Barnes
and standing by in the wings,
Sir Charles Farnes-Barnes - Permanent Secretary at the Foreign Office

and
Temperance Flowerdew, mysterious anti-scammer who wandered in and then out

[Lewd says: Mrs. Abacha(e), in her/their never-ending quest to move Metal Boxes containing millions of dollars out of Nigeria, calls on Lewd for help knowing that he can finally succeed where all others have failed. Fortunately, Lewd is able to rely on the services of the Foreign Office to help insure 100% risk-free modalities.

Note that the first Mariam Abacha has been designated as the "Fake" because she was the first one to drop out.]

[So "she" was the fake fake Mrs. Abacha - got it?]

LEWD (to "Fake" Mariam)

Mrs. Abacha,
Your proposal sounds very reasonable and I would be pleased to help you move your money here.

I must say you have two very beautiful daughters! May I ask what their names are? Are they married? Will they be coming here with you? Maybe they could come with or instead of Mustapha?

Regarding the information you asked for: My name is Lewis D. Noogie and I work as an international hotel consultant. I am from Kiev, Georgia, but I am currently consulting to a hotel here in Novosibirsk, Latvia. My mailing address is c/o Hotel Bolshoi Huisos, 12 Otyebis Blvd., Kiev, Georgia.

I expect to be at my present location for about three more weeks. I guess if you need to contact me by phone you could use the one here at the hotel.7-095-924-50-26. Just tell the switchboard operator that you're looking for me and they can locate me anyplace here in the hotel.

How and when will the Metal Boxes arrive here?

By the way, my friends call me Lewd (short for Lewis D.)

Thank you
Hajia Mariam.

NOTE: THAT I NEED TO KNOW YOUR AGE.SO THAT I WILL KNOW IF YOU ARE CAPABLE OF HANDLING THIS TRANSACTION.



LEWD (to "Fake" Mariam)

Mariam,
It is a very touching thing to know that you consider me as a son. I was orphaned at he age of 33 and terribly miss the relationship of a mother. I also can't wait to meet my sisters! I expect some touching to be involved there as well!

To answer your question about my age, I am 39. I am a successful businessman and I am fully confident I can help you with this transaction.

I should explain my current situation to you. I am an international hotel consultant, currently consulting to a small resort hotel here in Novosibirsk, Latvia. I have a signed agreement with my partners that I will not engage in any kind of financial activity outside of the partnership. For this reason I must insist on strict confidentiality for the duration of this transaction. I cannot overstress that my partners must never know about our activity. I am also not allowed to make personal calls out using the hotel phones and I don't own a cell phone. I will inquire as to the possibilities of obtaining one and will let you know.

I don't understand what you mean when you say the telephone number I gave you is not responding. It's the hotel switchboard and it should be manned 24 hours a day. I have to thank you for this information because this is exactly the kind of problem they called me in to fix here.

Have Mustapha try again or tell him to send me an email with instructions as to what I should do.

My Dear Lewis,
I have three grown up son, Mustapha, Mallam Abba and Mallam Mohammed. Mustapha (youngest) is not available at the moment, he is running his masters programme in Ghana .

And he complained initially that he did not hear from you and he suspected that someone was having access to his mail box. Please do not reply to any mail from that box as it appears that it is no longer save for the transaction.

My second son Mallam Abba is on a mission to Swizerland to solve issues on our family accounts that were froozen by the Swiss Authority on the instruction of the president of Nigeria.

Hence, I have decided that my eldest son; Mallam Mohammed Abacha deals with you directly.

We have gotten the assistance of a diplomat who will bring the consignment to you in your country. That is the reason of contacting you again to be very sure that I am still dealing with you.

You can reach my son on his email via: mallammohammed_aba@yahoo.com He will give you details of the transaction and what to do to make the venture a successful one.

Please contact him now, I have already discussed with him.
You can always get to me when you need my attention in any way.

Subject : DETAILS OF MY MUM'S PROPOSAL TO YOU

Dear Friend,
How are you today, Hope you are fine? I hereby acknowledge the receipt of the mail you sent to my mum. We have agreed to proceed to execute this business with you, as it appears that you are the God sent person to deliver us from the hands of our countrymen and our enemies. We are serious people that have been pushed to the extreme end of the wall.

You must understand that it is frustrations and betrayals from my people and those very close to my family that has made us thrown caution to the wind and trust you that we have never met all our live, but as the saying goes, "When there is no venture, there can be no success".

My mum called me to inform me of your response to her mail and your willingness to assist us. She has instructed me to deal directly with you in this transaction. This is as a result of the security surveillance placed upon her by the Government of Rtd.General Olusegun Obasanjo.

So sorry for the late reply

We have got the assistance of a Diplomat who has agreed to help us in moving the consignment to you in your country. This is why we have contacted you to help take custody of the consignment containing the funds (US$30m) your share of the money is US$9 million why we are getting US$21m. The diplomat will be moving with the consignment early next week. The Diplomat shall give you a call immediately he gets to your country to discuss with you on how to locate you.

Send me your full names, contact address, confidential telephone number so that I can give them to him. I will come over to join you up for the sharing/investment.

Please send to me more information about yourself to enable me get to know you better. It is important that you call me on my telephone number as above as soon as you receive this message so that I can instruct you on how to proceed and also give you further information that you may require. Be assured that this is 100% risk free and success guaranteed. I will very much like to know more about you, like your age, your occupation, your contact address etc.

At this juncture, we should introduce a code word, which we shall be using in all our correspondence verbal or in writing.

If you call me, ask me of my pet name, I will answer "IMAM" If I do not give you the correct answer, please do not speak with me, hang up the phone, if I call you, I will also ask you, what is your pet name?" then you must answer, "IMAM". This is very important for security reasons and for the security of the funds till it gets to your hand.
My mum extent her heartfelt gratitude to you and your members of your family.

May almighty God crown our endeavor with success.

Truly Yours,
Mallam Mohammed Abacha



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Brother Mallam,
It's good to finally meet you. Your mother has told me a little bit about you. I was expecting to be working with Mustapha but either of you is good.

I explained to your mother my situation here regarding phones. I am an international hotel consultant, currently consulting to a hotel here in Novosibirsk, Latvia. I can receive calls here at the hotel (7-095-924-50-26) but am not allowed to make personal calls out. Not to worry though, I have found there is very little in the way of business that cannot be conducted via email. Just amazing how far computers have come in the past 10 years, isn't it?

You can pass on the following information to the diplomat:

Full Name: Lewis D. Noogie
Contact Address:
c/o Zayebis Hotel
203 Pizdyets Ulitsa
Novosibirsk, Latvia
Tel: 7-095-924-50-26

When should I expect the arrival of the diplomat?

Mallam, tell me about your sisters. Your mother sent me their pictures but she didn't really tell me anything, like how old they are, if they are married, etc. Will they be coming with you when you come here? Do they have email addresses of their own? Your mother told me that she considers me as a son which would make you my brother and them my sisters, so naturally I want to know more about them.

I'll await your next letter.

[Better tell Mom that I'm in touch with Mallam Mohammed....]

LEWD (to "Fake" Mariam)

Mom,
I just wanted to let you know that brother Mallam finally got ahold of me and it looks like this thing is taking off.

I hope everything is fine with you and my sisters. Tell them I said hello and look forward to their arrival here in Latvia.

Subject : CONTACT THE ATTORNEY

Dear Friend,
I received your mail to me.I am so glad that you responded immediately. You have asked so many interesting questions about my family.I will give a brief answer to you.I am the eldest son of my family.About my sisters; Aishat is married but Zainab not yet.

I will discuss with you in details when I come over to your country. You have to make arrangement for us to buy a 4-bed-room bungalow in a decent location close to the beach.

I will be coming immediately you receive the consignment in your country.After then my mum.

I have discussed with the Diplomat who will bring the consignment containing the funds to you in your country. He will leave next week by tuesday and he will give you a call immediately he gets there.

I will give him your contact address, or he will call you immediately he arrives your country so that you pick him up from the airport .

There is one thing I want you to do. I want you to hire a lawyer in Nigeria who will represent you in signing an agreement which three of us will have to sign before he lives. His name is Barrister Rasheed Rafindadi Clark and his email address is barristerclark_law@yahoo.com

Send him a mail and ask him to represent you in the endorsement of the agreement since it will not be convenient for you to come down to Nigeria to sign it.The Attorney will have to ask for a pay for his services but it will be something you can afford. Just try and get in touch with him. It is very important for the safety and security of the transaction.

I would have like to talk with you on phone, but it seems your line is not safe for our discussions.

I am sure that my mum must have told you that Mustapha no longer use that mail address, he suspected that someone else is having access to it. Please take note and do not reply or send any mail to that box from now upward.

I await your response.Thanks and God be with you

WHAT IS YOUR PET NAME. "IMAM"



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam,
What is your pet name? "Imam".

Since you said that someone may have gotten access to Mustapha's email address I thought I'd better take the precaution of verifying that it was you who was writing me.

I'm a little unclear on why we need a lawyer involved in this. I have never had a good experience with any of those bottom-feeders, anywhere. It was my understanding that you have a friend in the diplomatic service who's going to bring the consignment here to Latvia and give it to me for safe-keeping. Why the lawyer? And if he's going to be here by tomorrow I don't see that we have the time for all the formalities of hiring one. I can get one of the law firms that we use here in Latvia to take care of the agreement if it's absolutely necessary.

Mallam, do you thnk it would be possible to have Zainab write to me? I've seen her picture - such a beautiful name for such a beautiful woman. I would really like to get to know her better. Please pass on my email address and phone number to her.

I know your diplomat is arriving tomorrow, please send me his name and flight schedule today and I'll head over to the capitol Minsk to meet him. I have to run over there on business tomorrow anyway and can kill two birds with one stone. I've already arranged a room for him here at the hotel in Novosibirsk. Do you know how long he will be staying? I'd be happy to show him around while he's here.

Or better yet - I've sort of been dating a girl who works here at the hotel, Olga, the East German massage therapist. She has a younger sister, Oxnard, who happens to be available and I'm sure she would love to take care of him while he's here. I guess I should ask first - he doesn't have any kind of heart condition or anything like that, does he?

Let me know today.

Lewd



LEWD (to Mustapha Abacha)

Brother Mustapha,
Your mother and brother Mallam Mohammed told me that you and I won't be working together on this after all. I was sorry to hear that but Mallam Mohammed seems to be eager to carry this forward.

So how are your classes going? Your mother tells me that you are studying in Ghana - what is your field of study? Do you enjoy living there in Ghana?

Well, sorry again that we won't be working on this together but do let me know how you're doing. I'm sure we'll meet soon after this transaction is complete. By the way, when you talk to your mother again be sure and tell her how much she has made me feel a part of the family.

Dear Lewis,
What is your pet name? "Imam".
I was very happy and I feel more comfortable when you rejected my mail.

I understood your mail very well.I actually trust you and that was why my mum made this proposal to you.But in a business that involve such an amount of money you do not have to trust anyone whole heartedly.Likewise, I want the lawyer to involve so that in the case of any breach of contract from any one of us, we can institute a legal action against him.I have to take all precautions to avoid mishappening to my fund.
In the past during the lifetime of my father, my father's leutenant took away $92million after he has arrive Switzerland just awaiting my father's arrival to join him.Therefore, I am very careful to avoid such as this is the only fund we have left in my family.

But I have make sure that neither the diplomat nor the lawyer are aware of the content of the consignment.I only told them it contains African art treasures worth $30million.Please you have to contact the lawyer immediately so that the signing of the agreement can takeplace by noon tomorrow before the departure of the diplomat.The lawyer will represent you in the signing of the agreement.The lawyer will ask you for a fee, you have to settle him so that we can proceed immediately.

The diplomat's name is Mr Patrick Williams, I will send you all the information as soon as he is set to leave for your country.

Lewis, it seem you are falling in love with my sister Zainab, she is a sturbborn girl and my favourite in the family. However, I know she will not agree to write you first, I will tell her about you then give you her mail address.

This has to be confidential until the diplomat arrive your country.

Please get back to me immediately you contact the lawyer.

THANKS
MALLAM MOHAMMED


LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
What the hell is going on?? You had not sent me the diplomat's name and flight number so when I went to Minsk yesterday I had my Administrative Assistant Ms. Bushburn wait at the airport checking every flight coming in from anyplace near Africa. Where is this diplomat?? You assured me he would be here Tuesday.

I look like an idiot now. I had reserved him a room at the hotel in Novosibirsk, which is not an easy thing to do at peak season. The hotel did me a favor and bumped a reservation as a favor to me. The guy they bumped had reserved the room for 2 weeks. Now the hotel is charging me for his room, and it's empty, not to mention that I have one highly pissed off Administrative Assistant.

Now I find your email that didn't arrive until after I had left for Minsk, saying that he hasn't even left yet! Why did you tell me he was coming on Tuesday?

Mallam Mohammed, my friend, this is no way to conduct business.

Dear Lewis,
What is your pet name? "Imam".

I am really sorry for sending my mail rather late.I apologise for the inconveniency this might have cost you.I have to make sure that our agreement is notorise before the departure of the diplomat.This is for the safety of the consignment and for both of us.
I expect you to contact the Lawyer to represent you in the signing of the agreement which three of us as to sign.The Lawyer will represent you in signing of the agreement papers.This is to ensure that both parties interest is protected in case of any mishappening.It happens to my dad in the past when my dad was still alive and the president of Nigeria. His leutenant went away with a whole sum of $92million after he has arrive switzerland awaiting the arrival of my Dad.We couldn't institute a legal action againt him because there was no binding agreement on the business.I am very careful not to make a similar mistake as this is the only hope in my family.

Therefore, it is necessary that you contact the Lawyer to represent you in signing of the agreement.He will ask you for a fee but it will be something you can afford.Please do contact him now so that we can proceed.I really want you to receive the consignment latest before weekend so that I can come over by next week.The Lawyer's email address is barristerclark_law@yahoo.com Contact him now and get back to me.

LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
What is your pet's name? "Imam".

A couple of problems here. I haven't seen this agreement and I don't usually make it a practice to sign documents I haven't seen or authorize others to sign for me. Once I've read it, assuming I don't have a problem with it, I'll be happy to sign it.

But I don't understand why we're going through all of this. Just send the agreement with the diplomat, I'll sign it here, and then he can take it back with him. We have notaries here in Latvia too.

Thanks for Zainab's email address. Not to worry, I won't rush her at all. I just would like to start getting to know her.

Let me know the diplomat's new arrival schedule.

Lewd



LEWD (to Zainab Abacha)

Dear Zainab,
My name is Lewd and I am a good friend of your family. Your brother Mallam Mohammed gave me your email address and said that it would be ok to write to you.

Your mother had sent me a picture of you and your sister. You are both such beautiful young women and I was very pleased to find out that you are still single. She also said that you would be coming here with her when she relocates. It will be so good to meet you in person and I hope you will allow me to show you around Novosibirsk.

I have to keep this short today. I've been helping your brother move your family's money here. He doesn't seem to have a lot of experience in this kind of thing but don't worry. I won't let him go wrong.

Please write back as soon as you can.

Lewd



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Wednesday, May 25, 2005

Dear Partner,
What is your pet's name? "Imam".

You don't have to be sceptical about the agreement. The agreement will only state that "a consignment worth $30million belonging to you is to be deliver to you by the diplomat and I am the one sending it.

That's is all, the sharing agreement is between me and you, which is 70:30 as initially stated, and this is confidential.

The purpose of the agreement is mainly to bind the diplomat on his duty to deliver this consignment to you. In case there is any breach of contract, we can institute a case against him (diplomat).

Am afraid and don't want what happen to my dad to happen to me. I am only being scared of the consignment in transit.I insist that the lawyer notorise the agreement.The diplomat will bring to you a copy of the agreement paper when coming to your country.

Please contact the Lawyer.And get back to me.

I tried your phone again, it rings and no response.You have to provide me with a direct line I can reach you. Or call me immediately.

Thanks
MALLAM MOHAMMED

Dear Lewis,

I have been expecting your mail and your call, please get back to me so that we can proceed immediately.

Please contact the lawyer and get back to me.

Thanks
MALLAM MOHAMMED



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
I suspect that you were told by this barrister that you need this agreement, right? Mallam Mohammed, this is probably your first time to work with a lawyer, but it is not the first time for me. In my business I have to work with them all the time. You have to be very careful around these guys, they'll always tell you you need such-and-such but it's usually just so they can collect a fee or a retainer.

You said in your last mail that, "...agreement will only state that "a consignment worth $30million belonging to you is to be deliver to you by the diplomat and I am the one sending it.", right? Mallam Mohammed, that has no legal value whatsoever and it's completely unnecessary. What you NEED is a signature from me that I RECEIVED the consignment. It would probably be a good idea if you have the diplomat sign something saying he received the consignment from you and will deliver it to me. We don't have to waste any money on a lawyer.

Speaking of wasting money, this room I have for the diplomat is still sitting here empty and costing me almost $350 a day. Let's get this guy here this weekend and get this finished so we can get you and your family, including Zainab, relocated. I know your mother is anxious to come here and I want to expedite this as much as possible.

Please ask Zainab if she received my email and tell her I'm anxiously awaiting a response.

Lewd



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Dear Lewis,
What is your pet name? "Imam".

Thanks for your mail and your advice.Yes, actuall this is not my first time of working with a lawyer.

The Lawyer is not advicing me in regard to this transaction, I contacted the Lawyer on this.

I only mentioned in my mail what I intend the agreement to be binding on. ....With you I don't envisage any problem.But I have to be more cautious with the diplomat, mostly when I reflex what had happen to my dad in the past.

As you have mentioned, my main reason of insisting on this agreement is just to get the diplomat sign something of evidence that he has receive a consignment from me.And this I want to be witnessed by a legal practitioner (Legal). Not just a legal practitioner but a SAN, Senior advocate of Nigeria.

Lewis, I do not want to waste more time on this anymore, today is thursday and I want the diplomat to leave immediately.And am not happy with the emptiness of the hotel you have paid for.

Hope you have seen reasons with me.

Contact the Lawyer and you will help me pay the legal fee he may ask for.You must let him know that you are the owner of the consignment. Please do that now and call me as I cannot reach you on phone. I will ask Zainab to check her mail box. She will be coming to my place by weekend, I can make her speak with you.

Thanks and God bless you.
MALLAM MOHAMMED



LEWD

Barrister Clark,
I am contacting you regarding a transaction that you are assisting Mallam Mohammed Abacha with. He has instructed me to tell you that I am the owner of the consignment that will be moving here to Novosibirsk, Latvia by diplomat.

Please let me know what needs to be done from your end.

Sincerely,

Dear Zainab,
I was hoping I would have heard back from you by now. I'm still working with Mallam Mohammed and so far things seem to be going smoothly. If we continue on this course I expect you and your family will be here in Novosibirsk shortly.

Have you done much travelling outside of Africa? I'm sure that you're going to find Novosibirsk different from anyplace you've been before. I've already planned a number of trips for us, some overnight, so you can get a real feel of things. And me too.

Hoping to hear back from you soon.

I AM IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL SENT TO MY OFFICE.

MR MOHAMMED MADE ME TO UNDERSTAND INITIALLY OF YOUR FINANCIAL POSITION CURRENTLY.I HAVE CONSIDERED THESE BEFORE I CAME UP WITH THE BILL.

I AM AFRAID TO INFORM YOU THAT I HAVE BE LENIENT ENOUGH BY GIVING YOU THAT AMOUNT AND TO ACCEPT PART PAYMENT. THAT IS HOW BEST I CAN GO IN ACCEPTING THIS DEAL.

IN REGARD TO THE QUESTION PUT BEFORE ME, I WANT TO CATEGORICALLY INFORM YOU THAT IN SPITE OF THE AGREEMENT/NOTORISATION OF THE TRANSACTION, IT IS OUR UTMOST DUTY TO INSTITUTE A LEGAL ACTION AGAINST ANY DEFAULT PARTY/PARTIES. IN SUCH EVENTS OF BREACH OF CONTRACT OUR CHAMBER GO ANY LENGTH TO BRING THE DEFAULT PARTY TO BOOK, WETHER LOCAL OR INTERNATIONAL.

THIS LEGAL FEE AS MENTIONED, COVERS 60% OF ALL THE EXPENSES.
I BELEIVE IT IS BETTER TO SORT OUT ISSUES WITH YOUR PARTNER IN THIS REGARD.

YOU SHOULD MAKE ALL NECCESARY ARRANGEMENT FOR A PLACE WHERE YOU SHALL MEET WITH THE DIPLOMAT FOR THE COLLECTION OF THE CONSIGNMENT WHEN HE ARRIVE YOUR COUNTRY.

THANK YOU...
YOURS OBEDIENT,
BARRISTER RASHEED RAFIDANDI CLARK [ESQ]



LEWD (to "Real" Barrister Clark)

Barrister Clark,
I have a couple of small problems here. First of all, I think all we are interested in is for you to sign a document in my behalf. We are not looking at retaining you past that event. As far as any future action against parties in default, I certainly don't foresee the probability of that happening. I think that is a bridge best crossed when we get to it.

Secondly, I'm not sure what my financial position has to do with what you charge. Surely you have a schedule of rates for the various services you perform, regardless of your clients financial position.

Would you please just quote me the rate for you to sign a single document on my behalf.

Thank you.

I look forward meeting you.

i may not be able to be responding to your mail often, i am writing my masters exams currently and that is taking alot of my time.

I will not be meeting you immediately, but my mummy and my brother may be coming to your country.I will not be chance until ending of next month.

LEWD (to Zainab Abacha)

Dear Zane,

What a pleasant surprise it is to finally hear from you! You write as beautifully as your picture looks and your name sounds.

I am so looking forward to you coming here. I'm usually kind of shy about these things but I've been fascinated by you since your mother sent me your photo. And it wasn't even a very clear photo. Would you mind very much sending me another one, maybe one taken a little closer? I would be so grateful.

I would also be so bold as to say that it was your picture that made me decide to stay involved in the transaction with your mother and brothers. I am pretty well off financially and don't really need this money. As a matter of fact I considered backing out because I don't really have a lot of time to spend on it and I don't need more problems at the moment. But your picture changed all that. I don't know what came over me, I just knew I had to meet you. This has never happened to me before.

I hope I haven't frightened you off. Please write back as soon as you can.

How are you? How is your business.

I was wondering that I have not heard from you for the day.And more worried when I realise that today is friday.

Please have you contacted the Lawyer yet? what is the situation? Please get back to me.

Zainab will be coming to my house for the weekend, I will arrange so that you speak with her.

Thanks so much
MM



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed )

Mallam Mohammed,
I contacted the lawyer again and I was trying to work out the terms with him but he isn't cooperating.

He's asking for $10,000, with $5,500 up front, just to sign a goddam piece of paper! Mallam Mohammed, I do not trust this jerkoff as far as I can throw him. He's talking about future action against one of us who defaults on the agreement, all sorts of crap.

You said the main reason for needing this guy was to protect your interests from the diplomat who's gonna carry the money here, right? You don't need my signature for that. Like I said before, I'll sign that I received it when he gets it here. Otherwise it'll take all month to get this barrister sorted out and I don't think your mother will be too thrilled about that.

Speaking of which, this hotel room is costing me a fortune and it's just sitting there empty! Get that guy on a plane and get him up here, fast!

I got a nice letter from Zainab and I think she likes me. She sounds like a real sweetheart and I can't wait to meet her in person.

Please, Mallam Mohammed, put that diplomat on a plane and let's get this done. We have dicked around long enough.

"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Saturday, May 28, 2005

Dear Lewis,
What's your pet name? "IMAM"
Thanks so much about your negotiation so far with the lawyer .

I am worried that this is taking a longer time, I totally agree with the Lawyer on all aspect except that the amount he mentioned is on the high side.

The future is something I take so serious, I do not want to take any chances, if not I would have taken the risk for the diplomat to leave without the agreement signed, it is popularly said that "when a man stumble over a stone twice without taken his lessons, then he must be a fool" it has happen to us before as I earlier mentioned, therefore I don't want it to happen again.

I believe that the lawyer is doing everything to secure my consignment, I would have even prefer that the consignment be insured as goods in transit but I do not have money to do that for now.

Please Lewis, we are talking about a large sum of money, do not worry about whatever you must have spend as this will be paid to you before the sharing as earlier mentioned.

Please do try and pay the lawyer for me, if you cannot pay him in full amount of $5,500, just let me know how much you can send to him so that I can get ready to pay him the balance.

Lawyers fee in Nigeria are very expenses.

Please you have to do this for me and my family, just let me know how much you can raise.

Zainab will be coming to my place (Lagos) today, you can call me so that I make her to speak with you.

THANKS

WESTERN UNION facilities anywhere near here. With your account information I can do a transfer from my office computer.

MR LEWIS NOOGIE,
VERY SORRY FOR MY LATE REPLY. TODAY WAS A PUBLIC HOLIDAY IN NIGERIA SO I WAS AT HOME ALL THE DAY.

I HAVE AN ACCOUNT BUT I CANNOT RECEIVE ANY MONEY FROM ABROAD INTO IT AS THIS WILL ATTRACT A HIGH COST OF INTEREST TO BE DEDUCTED BY THE BANK SINCE IT IS NOT A FOREIGN MERCHANT ACCOUNT.

I WILL ADVICE THAT YOU SEND THE MONEY VIA-
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER AROUND YOUR LOCATION OR MONEYGRAM IF AVAILABLE IN YOUR LOCATION.YOU SHOULD NOTE THAT THE DETAILS OF PAYMENT AS MENTIONED IN MY LAST MAIL STILL REMAINS. AS REQUESTED, I WILL SEND THROUGH THE DIPLOMAT A COPY OF MY INVOICE TO YOU, A PHOTOCOPY TO BE GIVEN TO MR MOHAMMED AS EVIDENCE OF PAYMENT MADE.

MR MOHAMMED TOLD ME OF THE EXPENSES YOU HAVE INCURRED IN SECURING AN HOTEL ACCOMMODATION FOR THE DIPLOMAT ON HIS ARRIVAL. I AM VERY SORRY FOR THE DELAY.

SIR,IMMEDIATELY PAYMENT IS MADE I SHALL INFORM MR MOHAMMED TO INVITE THE DIPLOMAT TO PREPARE FOR HIS DEPARTURE TO LATVIA.

I AWAIT YOUR URGENT RESPONSE TO THIS MAIL.

YOURS OBEDIENT,
BARRISTER RASHEED RAFIDANDI CLARK [ESQ.]



LEWD (to "Real" Barrister" Clark)

Barrister Clark,
I'm confused about your response to my request for an invoice. Surely you realize that I don't seek an invoice as proof of payment but rather as proof of amount billed. It is necessary for me to use funds from my partnership to pay your fee and should we be audited before completion of this transaction I would find myself in a considerable predicament without a proper invoice. Upon payment I expect you to provide a proper receipt for amount payed. I have no objection to you sending that with the diplomat.

I have had Ms. Bushburn, my administrative assistant, searching for a
WESTERN UNION but so far she has been unsuccessful. She is continuing her search.

Sincerely,
Lewis D. Noogie

I AM SORRY I CANNOT SEND TO YOU AN INVOICE AT THE MOMENT AS MY SYSTEM SCANNER HAS JUST DEVELOP A LITTLE PROBLEM, AND THAT MAY DELAY A LITTLE.

MR LEWIS NOOGIE, I AM ASSURING YOU THAT ALL THE TRANSACTION WILL BE PROPERLY DOCUMENTED.

AND ALL THE DOCUMENTS SHALL BE SENT TO YOU, COPIES TO MR MUHAMED AND OTHER COPIES TO BE FILED BY ME.

I hope everything is well with you.

I went to see the Lawyer today as I earlier mentioned to you yesterday in my last mail.
The Lawyer briefed me of the details so far. I am really impress.

He mentioned to me that you have insisted on getting the detailed invoice before you can make payment.Lewis, I think that was a good step by you but only that I am afraid that this is delaying the transaction a little.

However, I told the Lawyer to get that ready for you since you have insisted on it as one of your criterial for making payment. In fact he immediately asked his secretary to prepare that.

Please Lewis, always get me updated because I think it will be more secured to be getting information from you instead of the Lawyer.

Hope you will understand me.

Thanks so much and may the almighty God reward you abundantly.
My mum sends her regards to you.

BARRISTER RAFIDANDI CLARK (to Lewd)

Thursday, June 2, 2005
Subject : THE INVOICE
ATTENTION:MR LEWIS D. NOOGIE

I GOT YOUR MAIL BUT I WAS IMMEDIATELY OUT OF TOWN FOR A COURT CASE.

ATTACHED IS A DETAILED INVOICE OF THE TRANSACTION AS REQUESTED BY YOU.

I HAVE MY INVOICE DB SETUP IN ACCORDANCE TO THE GRAVITY OF THE TRANSACTION AT HAND.

I HAVE TWO FIELDS, ONE CALLED "PAYMENT DUE BY DATE" AND ONE CALLED "PAYMENT STATUS" THE LATTER HAS TWO PREDEFINED OPTIONS ON A PULLDOWN LIST "UP" FOR UNPAID AND "PIF" PAID IN FULL.

ON OUR TRANSACTION,WE HAVE AGREED ON A PART PAYMENT OF $5,500 BEFORE THE COMMENCEMENT, BUT IF YOU DEEM FIT TO PAY THE AMOUNT IN FULL, I WILL ISSUE A RECEIPT TO THAT EFFECT.

YOURS OBEDIENT,
BARRISTER RASHEED RAFIDANDI CLARK[ESQ.]


LEWD

Barrister Clark,
This is exactly what I need for my records and audit purposes. However, I wouldn't go selecting the PIF option from the dropdown just yet.

Barrister, I am without clue as to what these charges mean; we only hired you to sign a document in my absence. If I am asked during an audit why I paid $3,000 for a 'Free Fee', how do I explain what that is? Why does anything have to be registered with the police? The police have no involvement in this. An 'Agency Jetty Clearance'? And what the hell is a 'Bill of Uncertainty', unless I am being made to pay money for being uncertain what all this is about.

Unless you have accidentally sent me someone else's invoice I believe, sir, that you have misunderstood the scope of your involvement here. Please speak with Mr. Abacha and revise this invoice in accordance with his instructions.

Sincerely,
Lewis D. Noogie



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
I am distressed to say this but I am of the firm belief that this barrister is trying to hose us. He sent me an invoice, which is supposed to be for signing a piece of paper in my absence, for $10,000 worth of worthless crap that we don't need. 'Free Fee', police registration, court endorsements. Bill of Uncertainty?? What's up with that?? And would somebody please explain to me what an 'Agency Jetty Clearance' is?? And not a word about signing a pieceof paper for us!

Mallam Mohammed, I warned you about this guy, and all of his ilk. The entire profession is riddled with corruption, and the money this guy is trying to charge us is nothing short of vampirism.

Please excuse my shortness but this transaction has cost me a lot of money to date and with no returns forthcoming. That diplomat was supposed to be here two weeks ago and I'm STILL paying for an empty room.

I have to tell you, right now the only thing keeping me involved in this transacton is the prospect of meeting Zainab one day soon. But at this rate she'll be an old woman before I get to see her.

I told Clark to see you and come back to me with the REAL invoice. If you can't set him straight and get him with the program, my strong suggestion would be to hire a different barrister.

Please talk to him and get back to me.

HUMANITERIAN SERVICES SIR.

Dear Sir,
I wish to introduce myself to you and the reason for my reaching out to you. I am Mallam Mohammed Abacha, the son of the late military head of state General Sani Abacha who died mysteriously on the 8th of June 1998. Following the death of my father Gen. Sani Abacha,elections were successfully held in the country and a civilian administration was sworn into power with the assistance of the American Government under the leadership of President Clinton.With the advent of the new democratic administration, a decision was taken by the new president of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo to probe and ultimately prosecute all past military officers and their cohorts that served in very strategic capacities during the tenure of my father.And I was among those singled out to be punished after a makeshift trial,for the supposed deeds of my dad,ever since I have been in detention for the past 3 years.On monday the 24 September 2002,I was eased,on the condition that I will release the rest of my fathers money in my care,to the tune of $I.5b,which i agreed.Now I have been released but kept under severe house arrest,I had some huge sum of money running into hundreds of millions of dollars stashed in various private foreign accounts around the world,most of wish have been frozen.

Presently, I am confined under house arrest after my recent release from detention and constrained into seeking for this assistance today because I cannot afford to let this government know that I still have some funds stashed away.Shortly, before my detention I hurriedly deposited the sum of USD35.5 million with a security firm oversea's for safe keeping,registered as ALLUVIAL GOLD DUST hence my seeking your assistance to receive this fund is clear and fair, in good faith and confidence.I have since had this amount deposited into a private security company in Europe.I hereby seek your assistance in travelling and securing this fund out from the security company oversea's and lodging it into your designated bank account in your country. I will adequately compensate you with 15% of the total sum for your assistance and co-operation with me to move this fund to your account for safe keeping where I can easily utilise it.The present administration has beamed their search light on any body remotely related to me and my family and you strongly know for certain that I am under surveillance and I can not operate any of my bank accounts any more, due to their being frozen. I intend to safe guard and invest this amount of money abroad with a reliable foreign business partner so that we can invest the funds in doing business in your country. That is why I am soliciting your assistance and cooperation as regards this business.After arrangements are concluded with you, you will only go to the security company with all the vital documents as proofs to claim this fund out for me for self-keeping.I cannot tell the full story of my predicament on this letter. Please note that I have a relocation plans for me and my family immediately you have cleared out, and deposit into in your account.Please indicate your willingness to assist me by sending to me the following informations:-

1.Your full name and address,your private phone and fax numbers,international passport photograph for identification so that I can know WHOM that I amc onfiding this fund at his care for security reason's and for us to commence this transaction in good faith and confidence.All the vital paper's covering this deposited cash fund declares it as personal effect which I will only do change the ownership with your name as the depositor just to avoid any eyebrow along the line while this tranaction progresses.

I am waiting to hear from you very soon.

Best regards,
Mallam Mohammed Abacha

Mallam Mohammed,
I'm confused at why you sent this to me and why you didn't include your security code: What is your pet name? IMAM?

And what do you mean you're under house arrest? When did this happen? You didn't mention anything about it yesterday.

Does this change anything we're doing with Barrister Clark? Please get back to me as soon as possible and let me know what's going on. Dammit, we are too close for something like this to happen and especially considering what I've paid out for this hotel room.

Lewd



LEWD (to Zainab)

Dear Zane,
I'm confused and worried. I just got an email from Mallam Mohammed saying he's under close house arrest. Have you heard anything about this? What's going on? I sent him a note back asking him what happened but now I'm thinking I shouldn't have. I don't know if they are able to monitor his email or not.

Zane, I know that you're very busy with your exams and I hate to bother you but I think working through you is the only safe way for now. Help me on this, baby, please. If we don't get this money moved it will be almost impossible for you and your family to come here. I will confess to you that your coming here is the main reason for me helping your mother and brother. The face in your picture haunts me every second of the day and I'm having trouble sleeping thinking about it.

See if you can discreetly contact someone who knows your brother and see if you can find out what happened. Then get back to me and let me know. And I'll try and get a picture of me to you tomorrow.

I'm waiting for your email.
Yours,
Lewd

Dear Lewis,
I got your mail.I really appreciate your effort so far in assisting my family. I was upset when I got your complain about the lawyer, in fact it is taking too long, and am not happy with that.I envisage that by this date I should have be in Latvia myself for the sharing/possible investment with you.

Am short of words.The Lawyer copied me the mail he sent to you this afternoon, it was almost the same time I received your mail.

It has been difficult,for me over here and for you keeping an hotel accommodation for weeks, that's alot of money wasting.

Mr Lewis, you may not understand this, Lawyers in Nigeria are very expenses mostly when it involve a valuable asset or items.

Please Lewis, I beg you in the name of God, I don't want us to delay further, I want you to pay the Lawyer so that the diplomat can leave for Latvia latest by sunday, it should not exceed that date.

Mummy is really worried about this and worried too.Am concern about the consignment getting to you, the money to be paid is insignificant to the total amount of cash involve ($30million).

Whatever you must have spent in this transaction shall be pay back to you.The amount involve is large, about $30million. Am sure the Lawyer is capitalising on this amount to charge us.Nevermind, just try and send the cash to him so that the diplomat can leave for Latvia on sunday.

Whatever diplomatic immune (wether police stamp,custom duties, court registration or otherwise) that can be make possible to cover the consignment will be appreciated by me.This will secure the consignment from being open by anybody or security personnel until it gets to you in Latvia.

Lewis, when my dad was alife, he was paying the lawyer big money on transactions like this, so he is taking this as a point of reference to charge us forgetting that my father is LATE and the family is brooke.

Please do not bother about the amount you might have spent or about to spend.Just pay the Lawyer, as soon as you receive the consignment you can open it and refund yourself.

I will greatly appreciate if you can follow my suggestion that the Lawyer can be paid.

Thanks and God bless you my brother.
MM


LEWD (to Zainab Abacha)

Dearest Zane,
I am now convinced that something is definitely wrong with Mallam Mohammed. I received a note from him today and, as with yesterday's email from him, it was without his security code. Zane, he ALWAYS uses his security code. I have no idea who sent it.

Zane, I feel I can confide in you. I can tell by your picture and your words that you don't have a deceptive bone in your body and I know I can trust you. I know this is an inconvenient time for you but your involvement in what Mallam Mohammed and I are doing is absolutely crucial. The fact that you are working on your MBA also instills my confidence that, while you may not have a lot of business experience, you certainly have the knowledge.

My suspicion is that this Barrister Clark we have been using is behind Mallam Mohammed's house arrest. He's been trying to screw us on this deal from day one and I think he's trying to set this up so that he ends up with the money we are trying to move here.

I have given this considerable thought and here's what we need to do. DO NOT try to contact your brother! I don't know if his phone has been compromised but it certainly looks as though his email has. I am not going to respond to any more of his email and I will work directly through you.

Also DO NOT contact Barrister Clark! If you know a second or third-year law student we can use for advice, I think that will be sufficient. We'll pay him a couple hundred bucks for his time.

My Administrative Assistant Ms. Bushburn has located a
WESTERN UNION in the capitol Minsk. She is going there this afternoon to see her boyfriend and while she is there she will send you $2,000 for expenses. I don't mind doing it and it's certainly cheaper than that bandit barrister. I will have her send it as follows:

Name of Receiver: Zainab Abacha
Address: Abacha's Villa, #26
Abubakar Rimi Way, Off Mnamdi Road
Kano, Kano State
Text Question: Are You Beautiful?
Answer: Yes, Very!
Name of Sender: Wanda Bushburn
Country: Latvia

Your mother had given me her address when she first contacted me and your brother said you are staying with her, so there should be no problem with this reaching you. I've never used
WESTERN UNION before but I believe that there is some kind of number they give you when you send money. When Ms. Bushburn returns on Monday I will send it to you.

Once you and I have managed to get that diplomat here with the money we will begin making arrangement to bring you and your family here. I've never been involved in anything like this before and I'm in uncharted waters here. Please keep everything we're doing very confidential.

One last thing - for purposes of security I am going to abandon my hotmail account and this will be my last correspondence to you from hotmail. My new email address as of this moment is xxxxxxx@xxxx.xxx. Tell NO ONE ELSE about it, not even Mallam Mohammed, and send all your correspondence there.

Write back to me soon.
Yours always,
Lewd

Hi,
As I have earlier told you do not respond to any of my brother's mail without the code.My mummy mail address is mariamaba3@kaixo.com.

My mummy has immediately called my brother in Lagos, he his very ok and safe.I am sure all that trash they told you is a lie.We have to found out the origin. The Lawyer is a close associate to my family, he will not do anything like that.Immediately I claim the money, I will leave for Lagos immediately with the next available flight.You should effect the change of name of the receiver, ALASAN AKIM

Do not respond to my brother's mail,my mummy the Lawyer or anyone until i tell u so.You should forward to me the mail address u have been reaching my mummy,and the mail that inform u that my brother is in house arrest.

What's up? how are you and I hope you are fine and well.

I promised to be responding to your mail as often as possible.I actually wanted to check my mails yesterday but something came up which i have to follow up immediately. i think u are a nice person, my mum said so too.

I was expecting to have your pic, or you don't want me to c ur face? At least we should know each other better than this. The only thing i know about u is, u are a friend and business partner to the family, at least i should know u better.Don't u think so?

In regards to ur mail, what actually do u want to know about me. Let me guess? maybe my name; which u already know, my family background; which my mum as already told you, my physique; which u have already seen, so what else. Ok, maybe my educational background.

Well, I am an accountant by profession (BSC), And by God's grace i will be a master holder by the end of this month. I worked in my father's financial institution for a period of 2yrs. Now I do not intend to work under anybody or company, I intend to start my own business in telecommunications and by side continue with my studies.Isn't that interesting? Lots of things we gat to know about each other. i have to stop here for now, when i come over to Latvia, we will definitely have time to talk more about each other.

You scared me baby, so what has been delaying your business with my brother, my mum was worried yesterday that the business is being delayed.Please I do not want anything to border my mum cos she is hypertensive.

so, what's happening?

NOTE:Do not respond to my brother's mail,my mummy, the barristeror anyone until i tell u so. You should forward to me the mail address u have been reaching my mummy,and the mail that inform u that my brother is in house arrest.My mummy said she has not heard from you for over a week now.

I gat to stop here till i hear from you

My respect and regards,

LEWD (to "Fake" Mohammed )

Mallam Mohammed,
I'm glad you have finally seen the light about Barrister Clark. I told you last month that he was a lying thief.

I don't understand why you didn't tell me long ago about your house arrest. How long has this been going on? And I also don't understand what you mean about me travelling out to claim the fund. Travelling out to where? What happened to the diplomat who was bringing it here to Latvia? And you know I can't get my money back on the room I've been holding for him. Are you telling me that he's NOT coming now??

Mallam Mohammed, if you have had different plans all along I'm extremely disappointed that you haven't told me long before now. Do you have any idea how much money I've put into this transaction so far?? And we don't seem to be any closer than we were when I first agreed to help you.

Please make a final decision on this and let me know once and for all.

My mum and I has agreed that, henceforth you should not receive any mail from her, the lawyer and my brother until i ask u to do so.Just hold on the transaction until i meet my brother personally.

I guess my mum must 've told u that the govt. are watching her movement.Ofcourse we understand that.Thank God u were fast to notice this and u 've decided to change ur mail address.

Lewis, could u beleive that my mum said she has not check her mails or reply any of your mail for the past 2weeks.That is surprising, it is spies.

You are a wonderful friend indeed. Baby, I will be writing my final exams on tuesday, but on monday i 'll be in Lagos to meet My brother, after our discussion i will reach u immediately. Immediately after my exams on tuesday, i will fly back to Lagos to conclude all the transactions myself.

I think u should suggest something that will make our conversation very unique so that some cannot impersonate us.

Dear Brother Lewis Noogie,
God bless you for your keen understanding.

I am happy for your keen understanding so far and would like to seize this great opportunity to inform you that you should bear with me as a brother indeed and in need since I have confidentlly bestowed this trust in you over the receipt of this fund please.

Note, don't misunderstand me because I have decided to open my heart for you since the lawyer on invitation Barrister Clark is no more reliable and trustworthy again, as a matter of fact everything aboiut this fund is in total control of God Almighty in Heaven, for Heaven help those that help themselves.Please, don't be discourage for your kind assistance or disappointed so far ok!.Accept my kind apology.

Yes, you have tried your best in putting money into this transaction in helping me out but am assuring you that any amount you spent MUST be reducted from the whole fund involved before I will start to offer you your promised percentage, have this mind now and never regret to continue in assiting me.For being closer, noooooooooooooo we remain closer till to the successful end.It is now that I can confirm what you told me last about Barrister Clark, I don't know that he is a liar.Kindly bear with me and never you and ever communicate with him again over this business and any time he write you, don't response to his mail and always forward his message across to me, I know how I am going to take control of the whole situations.For my house arrest, it is a big problem and that is why you are now required to travel out to claim this fund and keep everything about this transaction intact in good faith and confidence, receive this fund and keep it into your private bank account.My dear since I first sent you my proposal over assisting me,this house arrest has been existing.

About the travelling out to claim the fund, you will be travelling out to HOLLAND where I successfully despatched out this fund through the assistance of a diplomat who is a friend of my father,and it will only required you to settle the cliaming charge since this fund was registered as a ALLUVIAL GOLD DUST with your name as the owner, even without the knowledge of the diplomat because he respect my late father and our family very well. Is it clear for your now my good brother because bringing this consignment to Latvia will COST you too much money which I don't want any delay again at this moment.

Please my dear brother, no matter how much you spent so far, I am in a good position to consider you after you might have travelled and cliam out this fund on my behalf, you know that I trusted youi too much, Am I right or wrong?.Kindly confirm your capable and readiness to travel and cliam out this fund out no matter how little it might COST you so that I can immediately send you the despatch document and the beneficiary paper's to back your claim.

God bless We All!.Confirm Asap!.

Dearest Zane,
I don't know if you will see this before you get back to Kano, but I think everything is under control. I'm not too pleased with the new arrangements but maybe it will work better. We'll see.

I went to my hotmail account one last time and there was a note from Mallam Mohammed giving me the new security code. He said he will give the code to you and instruct you to include it on all future correspondence. He told me to absolutely ignore any email from anyone without this code so please, baby, don't forget to use it.

I'm probably going to be out of touch for a few days. We have a recurring problem with sasquatch in the forest behind the hotel and one of the groundskeepers spotted tracks again this morning. Damn critters are worse than cockroaches. Tell Mallam Mohammed I'll try to find time to get over to Holland when I get back from killing this muther.

I still can't wait for you to get here.

Please, no matter what happened at this point in time, kindly take things easy and bear with me and know that you are a God sent to my life over this fund.I know you might felt so bad since We have confirmed together that Smith has disappointed us But To God be the Glory!.

LEWD (to "Fake" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed, I am confused. Last week the diplomat had not yet left Nigeria and you were telling me to keep the room for him. Now you're telling me he's ALREADY in Holland with the money?? When did this happen?? And a note I received this morning from your sister Zainab said that she's flying over to Lagos to meet with you and the diplomat and Barrister Clark. How can she do that if the diplomat is in Holland? And I thought we had gotten rid of that dimwitted barrister!

And why is it any less expensive for him to take it to Holland than to bring it here? I thought I understood everything that was going on with this transaction but now I don't understand anything!

Look, please don't take this as a sign of misstrust but I need to check this with your mother. She told me that I should contact her immediately if there were any problems and to me confusion in a deal of this magnitude is a problem. I'll keep you informed on what she tells me.

I'll get back to you.

My trip to Lagos was very successful and promising.

Thank you for the $2,000, i really appreciate, i told my mum about it. I will get it tomorrow. I just got back to kano,and it was a very successful trip. I met my brother and i told him everything, he was even surprise to hear about the story as i narrates to him.

It 'll interest u to know that, I was able to meet the Barrister, I also went to the office of the diplomat but i coudn't see him as a result of his meeting with the new ministerial appointees.

When i met with the lawyer in company of my brother, i requested to see the invoice, he showed me a copy of the invoice.I immediately argue that his charges were too high for the transaction.I pleaded with him to reduce the charges.After much negotiation, he finally agreed on a term that he will reduce the fee with $3,000 on the condition that the total money must be paid on one installment. I finally agreed with his terms.

You see Lewis, consultations with lawyers in Nigeria is very expensive especially when it involves a Senior Advocate of Nigeria (SAN). In a population of over 120million, there are only 135 SAN members.That gives them a high level of monopoly in the legal profession. As you have suggested to involve a 300 or 400 level law student was a good suggestion, but the fact is that there is high risk when too many people are involve in such confidential business.

My family is very popular, every press man or woman is looking out for us to have a chat with in their various magazines and newspapers.Considering this i think we should pay the lawyer so that we can have confidentiality until you receive the goods. The $2,000 u sent to me is still very save, please whatever you can raise let me know so that i can discuss with my mum, maybe we can get loan from one or two friends to add to the amount you may send down to complete the total money.

The diplomat called me this evening, we have discussed, he has agreed that he will leave for your country tomorrow evening, he will spend 2night with you and later proceed to London to attend a conference on behalf of the Presidency. Therefore, i will make arrangement to get a loan of $5,000 in addition with the $2,000 u sent to me to settle the Barrister tomorrow when I arrive Lagos.

Please Baby, get back to me immediately so we can forge ahead.

Lewis, if this my arrangement is ok by you, there's something else i want to suggest, i do not want you to send the money directly to the Lawyer,I have collected his payment details and is below, but the
WESTERN UNION details shall be sent to me on my mail box. I will schedule with his representative for us to meet at the bank.I will not release the WESTERN UNION details until we gets to the bank.He shall collect the money in my presence and return the cash back to me. This is just to proove to the Barrister that you are still responsible for the payment. I don't care the stress is going to cost me but just to make my mummy happy and u too.

Lewis, you are getting me worried and nervous, what is this new arrangement you mentioned in your mail, my brother did not send any mail since on saturday.Do not get confused, I am handling everything myself, tonight i will ask my brother to send you a mail with the new security code "my sweetest one zero one zane".

Please take note.

I hope your business is doing well, my regard to Ms Wada Bushburn, I think she is a good assistant, maybe we may spend time together when i arrive Latvia.

Take care Baby

Dear Zane,
Please, please, PLEASE! You have to use your brother's new SECURITY CODE! Mallam Mohammed told me I should not read or answer any email without the new code. I agree with him that if his email was compromised then it's quite possible that yours could well have been compromised as well. Please, baby, use the code!

Subject : SECURITY CODE: Mohammed123Lewis)


Dear Trusted Brother,
Noooooooooooooooooooo, please don't misunderstand me.Already all my arrangements about the movement of the diplomat is highly authentic in seeing him leaving down to Holland since but that will be after all my arrangements with you as the receipant since I cannot do without you alright.Now don't ever disclose my discussion with you to the thief barrister because it seems that you have told him all about my new plans over my fund which belongs to me, only to me.Or do you want to spoil my new arrangement with you?.

Please , please and please I said, listen very well, I have no sister called Zainab, and since I have telling you to forget all about the wicked lawyer as I have totally confirmed him as a dupe, you can receive any kind of mail from him and cliaming to be this and that, all is lies, I know what am trying to say and that is why I tried my best to change the password and pass it across immediately to you.

Kindly stop further communication with anybody that writes you without the NEW SECURITY CODE that I gave you and any mail you received without this Code in the subject and at the closure of mails is not from me ok.Don't ever and ever respond to any letter without this new code, I hope you know my conditions at the moment, I mean anybody can come about to claim that he or she is this and that to me, don't mind such informations, this is a serious advise not a warning to you please.For the stupid and dupe barrister called himself smith, just forget all about him for goodness sake, I take God Almighty beg you to stop further communication with him and do forward to me through this mail box any mail you received from him, without answer.

Any assuring you that all that is going on about this transaction MUST be at your awareness since you a God sent to me and my family but only what I want from you now is to listen to my instruction/s and follow up my directives in advance as well.There is no problem or any trouble only that the idiot man that called himself a barrister has been disowned me authomitically.

NOTE:Stop further communicating with him on respect of this fund,I repeat.He knows that I just came out from trouble from the hand of the Nigerian government, that is why he want to put confusion, God is in Total control of everything I pray!.

Thanks for your kind cooperations so far, and remain blessed!.

Dear Lewis,

I was very surprise when my sister Zainab told me about everything that went on.I believe she might have sent you a mail by now.About the arrangement of you going to Holland is not true.

We have made all the necessary arrangement, today we are going to settle the Barrister, hopefully the diplomat shall be leaving for Latvia today. There is going to be a meeting as soon as Zainab arrive back to Lagos. She shall infom you everything.
Henceforth, whenever i sent you a message, i will ask zainab to send you a message to compliment it, and the security code shall be "my sweetest one zero one zane" and this shall be written immediately after a salutation. This is to make sure that will did not loose our track with the spies.

please reply to my mail.You will have to change your mail address as it appears that they keep on sending you false information.

Hi,
Are u doubting me?

The mail you claim my brother sent to you is not from my brother. I think there is an impostor here.I should confirm that. My brother will send you a mail today. I could not claim the money you send, it is not in the WU system. My brother mail has been compromised and the mail you receive about the new code is not true.

The new code is "my sweetest one zero one zane"

Subject : My picture from zane

Hi Friend,
Today was a bit hectic as i immediately left Kano without taking a rest after my exams.Thank God I finally finished my exams today,am really happy about that. How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"As I earlier promised yesterday, I arrive Lagos immediately,thank God we have succeeded in finalising with the Barrister and the diplomat.

The diplomat received a call that he has to attend a conference in London, therefore he cannot come to Latvia as we earlier arranged.Please Lewis, you will have to travel to London to collect the consignment from the diplomat.As soon as he arrives London, i will get his contact details and send to you so that you will know how to locate him in London.

Lewis,i was at the Bank today to collect the $2,000 you sent through
WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER (WU).I looked so stupid and embarrassed,when i was told that there was no such transfer in the data base of WESTERN UNION even though i supplied all the information you forwarded to me.What's happening? are u playing games or what?
I do not understand what's going on with u, u are taking information from a wrong source, I Zainab should be the most reliable source of information in respect of this transaction.The security code you said my 'supposed' brother gave to you is from the spies or the impostor.You told me you will not use your hotmail account any more but you went there to receive a security code from unknown person. The right security code isHow are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

Attached is my picture, to show you that I am the same Zane u admire. Please get back to me and make sure you state the security code.

take care, baby - Zane



LEWD (to Zainab)

Zane, my love, I am getting so confused here. All these different security codes, first the diplomat is coming here, then he's not coming here, then the money is in Amsterdam, now he's going to London and I have to meet him there. What next? He's taking the consignment to Mars and I have to go there to get it? Zane, Ms. Bushburn sent you the money through WESTERN UNION under the name Zainab Abacha. She is very efficient and I have no idea why you can't receive it unless there has been a screw-up at Western Union. The next time one of us can get over to Minsk we'll try to figure out what happened and get it sorted out.

I kind of resent the implication that I would be playing games with you. I am quite serious about wanting to get this finished and get you here. Please don't talk about games anymore.

It will be very difficult for me to get away from here with this sasquatch infestation that we are experiencing. Can't the diplomat swing by Latvia on his way home and deliver it to me? This is driving me nuts!

By the way, I couldn't open the picture you sent me. Please send again.

SECURITY CODE: Mohammed123Lewis

I'm getting so confused that I don't know which security code to use anymore, so I'm using ALL of them.

Mallam Mohammed, we have to stop for a moment and figure out we're going to do here. First you tell me the diplomat is coming here to Latvia, then you tell me I have to go to Amsterdam to claim the money, then you say the diplomat is not coming here, now you tell me I have to go to London to meet him. Weeping Jesus on the cross, what am I supposed to do here?? Can we please settle on one plan and STICK WITH IT? Tell me who is going where. Should I stay here? Should I go to London? Should I go to Amsterdam?

I have paid a freakin' fortune for this goddam hotel room, I've sent Zainab $2,000 and all I've received in return is a lot of confusion about who is coming and going. I'm not even sure what country I'm in anymore.

My frustration threshhold is getting pretty close.

Dear Sweetest,

I am as worried as you are cos am getting confused with theinformation they are giving you.

How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"
The reason is that you do not want to listen to me. I should tell u who to deal with.

The spies/impostor told you that the consignment is in Amsterdam-Holland, this is atrap to hold up our effort so far. You should not respond to their mail, do not tell them about me.Cos i do not know what their next step would be.

I have given my brother the security code "How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane" If u get any mail without this, please do not respond.

The diplomat arrive London this morning, he as gotten a London number - +447704638685

His name is Mr Patrick Williams, Please call him immediately to arrange with him on how you can collect the consignment.

I have talked with the diplomat, but he cannot really promise cos he is attending a conference that will take about two weeks in London

The money you send through the
WESTERN UNION is not in their Data system.Please reconfirm the control number and send it back to me.

If you follow my instructions sweetheart, everything will work out successfully. Am in Lagos for now until, my brother join you after you must have receive the fund.

Take care baby

Hence the security code myself and Zainab as agreed on is:

LEWD (sent to both Mohammeds)

Mallam Mohammed,
I have to inform you that I have an emergency here that I must deal with and will be out of touch for an indefinite period of time. We've had an encounter between one of those damned sasquatch and a hotel guest and the guest came off the worst. I'm sure there's going to be legal action against the hotel if we don't get out and hunt these things down.

I leave this morning with two of the groundskeepers to find these varmints and get rid of them once and for all. I don't want a delay in the transaction so I have forwarded your and Zainab's address to a close friend and associate of mine. I have asked him to work with you to bring this deal to a successful conclusion.

A little background - his name is Mikhail Stroganov and he runs a very successful publishing company. He is probably the wealthiest person I know and he knows how to get things done quickly. I did not have time to bring him completely up to speed on where we are but I did receive an email from him agreeing to assist. I will reimburse him myself so you dodn't have to be concerned about that. From the small part that I explained to him he is very enthusiastic about this. I mailed him my power of attorney, which he should have in the next day or two, and complete authorization to act in my behalf. He will be contacting you shortly.

Well, I'm off, wish me luck. If I get back anywhere near the hotel I'll check in with you. And once we get these critters, you and your family are invited for the celebration bar-b-que!

My love to Zane!

Mallam Mohammed,
You're lucky I got this. I forgot to pick up ammo on my way out, stopped by the office to get it, and did a fast check on my email.

Mallam Mohammed, I trust Mikhail completely. He is very excited about this, seemingly even more so than myself. He is always getting involved in unusual business deals and has made a lot of money by doing so. He is much more aggressive in pursuing these things than I am and I'm sure that once you get to know him you'll enjoy working with him.

I should tell you that he does come off a bit gruff at times, but I believe it's because he wants to keep things moving. He is a stickler for details so just be sure that he stays completely informed on what's going on.

Ok, I'm outta here. I'll get back to you first chance I get. Oh, almost forgot, his email is: mikhailstroganov@yahoo.com.uk .

Oh, and tell Zane that If Ms. Bushburn goes over to Minsk this weekend to visit her boyfriend I'll have her stop by the

Dear Mikhail Stroganov,
How are you? Mr Lewis Noogie told me about you, I am Mallam Mohammed Abacha, we are in middle of a business transaction which I think by now he must have told you all about.

I was actually curious why he should involve you or anyone into this transaction.But he made me believe that he trust you and that you are very reliable and deligent in doing business with. I want to invest my trust in you and sure that you will not disappoint me and my family. We have already introduce a security code for this transaction as it appears that the government of Nigeria are after my family. There may be spies/impostor.Therefore, all our correspondence must carry the security code otherwise do not respond to any of my mail without the security code.

It is- What's your pet name? "IMAM"
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

The security code Mohammed123Lewis is from the spies/impostor, do not use or respond to any mail with it.Am sure they are spies from the government, their plans is to track us down. Hence the security code myself and Zainab as agreed on is:

What's your pet name? "IMAM"


How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane" Zainab is my sister who is a good friend to Lewis.I will tell her about you. Everything is in order as expected, the diplomat has left for London. He arrives London safely and he has called to confirm his arrival. He receive a message from the presidency that he has to attend an urgent conference in London, so he could not make it down to Latvia any more. His name is PATRICK WILLIAMS +447704638685, please call him immediately to arrange with him concerning the consignment.

When you call him tell him you are Mr Lewis Noogie a business partner of Mr Mohammed Abacha. You will have to travel to London otherwise it will cost you more to sent the consignment to Latvia.

Please call him now.He is expecting Lewis.
Note that all our mails must quote the security code.

Please for you information, I am Mallam Mohammed Abacha my PET name is "AHMED",security code: Mohammed123Lewis, and would like to intimate you that since I started this transaction with my good friend Mr.Lewis Noogie things about has been going very fine before my former lawyer on invitation by name Mr.Smith came to betrayed me,by obstruction money from Mr.Lewis and trying to contradict issue overthis transcation.I will like to notify you that I have disowned him for the security of this fund, because while I was communicating with my firend Mr.Lewis Noogie, he went along writing him through another email box and misdirecting him to be giving money to somebody who doesn't belong to my distinquished and respectde family, called Zianeb.For your information, any mail you received that did not carry my security code and my pet name did not come from me and my only hapiness at present now is that my newly invited lawyer,a reputable and
highly honoured attorney,a muslim brother for that matter, by name BARRISTER HAMZA JUBRIL have been to a neighbouring french speaking country called Cotonou-Benin Republic with all the relevants document covering this fund that bear's Mr.Lewis Noogie's name as the bonafide beneficiary of this fund and I advise you again that since the vital documents carries the name of Mr.Lewis Noogie, and there is nothing we can do for the change of ownership, unless you seek the indulgency of
BARRISTER.HAMZA JUBRIL now for the new development because I have pass informations of Mr.Lewis Noogie's letter of yesterday to me. So, Kindly contact Barrister.Hamza Jubril on his telephone number : 00229 40 50 17 overthere in cotonou benin republic and get back to me as soon as possible.

Dear Mr.Mikhail Stroganov.
Good morning and how you today?.I hope fine, How is my good brother Mr.Lewis Noogie?.How is the problem that cropped up in the hotel where he was lodging in latvia, have he settle it?.Can you see that it is the bad hand work of the wicked and stupid smith that called himself a lawyer but dubious that caused it.Am very sorry for the inconvinecies so far which has been delaying this transaction before you keen
intervention since Mr.Lewis Noogie have made good recommendation of you with much confidence in assuring me that with you, all is going to be successful.I believed so!.

Well am just receiving a telephone call from my humble and respected muslim brother, Barrister.Hamza Jubril notifying me that you have contacted him and he has informed you of the step to take before your travelling plans to move down to Amsterdam over this fund.Sequel to this develoment, I advised that you should cooperate accordingly with him so that we can achieve our objectives soonest and shame to go the evilish boy smith at the end.

Notwithstanding, I have told Barrister.Hamza Jubril to come down to Nigeria now and today to see me face me to face since it is not what we can discuss on phone only about this transaction.While this transaction progresses, I advise you to start all about your arrangment with a travelling agent in arranging for your flight schedules in advance.

"FAKE" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

PET NAME: ( AHMED )
SECURITY NAME: ( MOHAMMED123LEWIS ).

My Dear Brother Mr.Mikhail Stroganov.

Really all what the devil is doing here is the hand work of the rejected former lawyer called smith, since I have decide to disowned him even your friend Lewis Noogie is highly aware of what am trying to explain to you now because Mr.Lewis have made it clear to me that he did not explain at lenght to you of all the situation's.

So, be careful with anybody that might come to clam that he is me please for God sake Ok!. Kindly understand that there is nothing God cannot do since Mr.Lewis Noogie and you are God sent to me and my humilated family, all what smith is doing is inhuman after knowing my condition since I came out from prison and even now still on a house arrest with the federal government security guards over me.Please, I repeat please, don't listen to anybody that is trying to contradict issue's over your Godly intervention to my life opportuity since you are at a good position to ask Mr.Lewis what I am explaining to you at this moment.Once again,any mail that come to you email box without my security code and pet name on the subject is not from me.But what I can advise you is this, just to change your email address and reply me from there so that smith and his devilish group will not know again what is happening since he has proved himself as a dupe collecting money from Mr.Lewis unneccessary which was one of things that provoked, and since I came to find out, I was highly aggrieved and totally disowned him because I am a responsible man of class.Remember that I don't have much to say rather than since my condition at this time is critical, I hand everything to God Almighty.

I remain the first son of Ex-Military President of Nigeria General Sanni Abacha ( Late ) not more than that, now look at how smith tried in proving himslelf stupid by talking about washing money, what does that mean, if I may like to ask my dear Brother?.
[ This refers to the old "wash wash" technique - see the Lad FAQ]

You see, you are a respected man of understanding and I believed with this little explanations so far, God is in total control and is seeing everything, even now that smith did not know the situation of things,this is the reason and why am advising you to automatically stop further communication with him and stop reading any mail that doesn't bear my security code and pet name as the subject.smith went at lenght defrauding Mr.Lewis $2000 by tuesday this week with a fake name Zaineb whom I don't know and claiming her to be my sister, my dear I cannot forgive smith till the World end Ok!.

Don't mind all that ishappening foryou will at the end confirm what am saying today at the successful of this transaction and I pray to will continue showing concern even when this fund arrives in your keen possession.

While awaiting for your urgent response in advance, I say May Almighty God that brought you and Mr.Lewis to save my life condition's Bless You, Me and our respective family too!.

My Respect,
Mallam Mohammed Abacha.

"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
What's your pet name? "IMAM"
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

I do not understand what you were trying to place in your writing. But what I want to make clear to you is that there are people who trying every day to impersonate my family's name. We are aware of this, We are very vigilant about this and we have alerted various authorities to wacht out for such. This are some of my consideration why I have introduced security code for this transaction. I have made Lewis understand the need for my trasaction with him and all the evidence he needs. Besides he is a good friend of my sister.My major problem now is that the transaction is getting delayed than I expected.

Mikhail, can we continue with this, the diplomat is already in London waiting for the arrival of Mr Noogie.

Please let us go ahead and get everything to work. My mummy is worried about the way the transaction is delayed, we have spent close to $30,000 on this yet the consignment has not been receive by Lewis. If you are truly serious about this you have to make arrangement with the diplomat on how you can collect the consignment.

Please I want you to call him and get back to me. Meanwhile, do not receive any mail from any one as it seems there are spies/impostor who wants to destroy our effort.

Thanks

To assure you my honesty and sincerity, am giving you guarantee that as soon as this fund is cleared from the diplomat oversea's, it will remain at your care for self-keeping at your private bank account until I sort out my case with the Federal Government Of Nigeria.

Dear Brother Mikhail Stroganov
Thanks very much for your insultive mails across to me.

It seems that you did not know the personality involved since I have invited your friend Lewis Noogie to come and eat with me from my family sweat before the imposter smith and his stupid groups continue disorgansing my plans in seeing you to claim out this fund since it is the good man Lewis Noogie called you in.Frankly speaking, Mr.Mikhail you have insulted not only me but also my distinquished family as a whole becuase I cannot see the reason and why I have been trying to put you clear over this transaction as a kind man on invitation and look at what you are telling me,Why?.

If I may ask, why should you be annoyed with the number's of emails that I sent to you?.My dear brother, al is for the interest of this transaction and to avoid entering into a wrong hand again like Lewis spending his money to the bad groups that are
claiming to be me and that they came frommy family like where they went along to defraud Mr.Lewis $2000 that was sent to Zaineb.Who is Zaineb, Mohammed I don't know, so be careful or I can look for another person please ok!.I have went so far in giving you my private email mohammedabacha_ahmedabacha@yahoo.com with the password, and you continue writing me from your email box, why I asked?.Well if Mr.Lewis is much around till this moment, everything about this transaction could have be ended successful even without your arrival which I did not hesitate.Try to be convinced that smith my former have put Mr.Lewis into trouble overthere since in Latvia while he is trying to cut me off because smith saw that am in a house arrest.

Kindly contact my good and respectable lawyer now back in cotonou-benin, Barrister.Hamza Jubril and again, see below a forwarded copy the letter you wrote to him today.Call him immediately after your kind receipt of this mail and never you forget to comply with him so that we can conclude with this transaction as soon as possible.It is very urgent.With his directives, everything will go accordingly please since he is confidentailly working for my progress in seeing that this transaction is alright.

Again, after Zaineb, it is Lioudmila.This is a total confusion indeed like as you said in one of your mail.I laugh!.I am happy this fund has left Africa down to Holland.Confirm to me now and today your flight schedule as soon as possible so that I can pass across to you the contact of the diplomat,and for you to complete the neccessary steps with Barrister.Hamza Jubril while he still overthere in cotonou to finish his assignement.

God bless you!.

"FAKE" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

My Dear Brother Mikhail Stroganov.
Yes,I have to blame smith because he disappointed me indeed for trying to divert my sweat and family opportunity after suffering from the hand of the federal government of Nigeria which hs knows very well, putting Mr.Lewis into problem.Frankly speaking he is unhuman.As a matter of fact, I cannot forgive him.Please don't quote me by saying that I am happy to blame everybody, why?, how?.Nooooooooooooo!.

Trully you will need to apologise but that will be you confirming to me now that you are ready to contact my lawyer overthere in cotonou and complying with the neccessary directives he is going to give you since I learnt that he will need to make some immediate changes on the documents before he can forward to you as you know that all the vital covering documents is already bearing the name of Mr.Lewis Noogie.

Why are you indirectly insulting me or should I tell my lawyer to forget all about and just to avoid further abuse.

Ok! and that very much since it seems that you want to inform the government of Nigeria about this fund after all the seizure by the federal government of nigeria and detaining me in prison, for so long.There is no problem but I would like you to inform Mr.Lewis Noogie anywhere he is now to issue me a power Attorney and you try to brief him how far I have gone with you since you started with doubts, my dear good brother , it is now that you can apology since I respected you like Mr.Lewis as distinquished personality.

Am I safe, I ask again and again over this my life time opportunity?.Kindly confirm to me now your positive responce as soon as or you can forget me and thgis fund please for security purposes since smith has cropped up confusion over this transaction. I have told you that I cannot forget or neither forgive smith for putting Mr.Lewis Noogie nto problem that he is facing at the moment, which also is bringing doubts on your side.And since you have started doubting me right from the starting and believing people who are impersonating with my name and my family name, and refusing to comply with the directives that my lawyer gave you because I hope you can witness the mail you wrote Barrister.Hamza Jubril whiich I forwarded mail from you.

God Bless for the little assistance and cooperations you showed in communicating with me.

Thanks,
Your's Faithfully,
Mallam Mohammed Abacha.

Dear Mikhail ,
What's your pet name? "IMAM"
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

I could not respond immediately as a result of the bad state of my scanner.

Attached is the ID card of my father's company 'am managing. It was temporary sealed 4months ago by the Nigeria government. This is another move to oppress my family.

There are three main companies under the Group:
1. INTEGRATED DATA SERVICES LTD This is an oil-servicing firm.
2. STEMCO LTD A construction outfit located in Calabar, Cross river state.
3. ELEGANT HOUSEHOLD LTD They are into importation of interior decor.

It is amazing to know that all the account of the companies as also be frozen. Well, my family filed a case to the high court against the government to justify their reasons of sealing up my father's company.

Please let me know what's happening.
Note: PLEASE THE ID CARD IS A SECURED DOCUMENT, DO NOT SHARE IT WITH ANYBODY.

I'll check back with you when I get back.

"FAKE" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

My Dear Brother, Lewis
Am very happy to hear from you all this day's.

Well, I felt disappointed with your boss Mr.Mikhail since you failed to explian everythings about this fund to him, and he continue arguring with me because I told him how you came across of my former lawyer smith who later betrayed me, and for that I decided to disowned him automatically which you are aware.

I will like you to advise him immedaitely that he should dersist from those groups of imposter's whom smith have went at the back to send to him since he have find out that you and me knows him now as a dupe.Please, tell Mikhail that anything transaction he had with them is on his own risk not me.I even went so far of letting him to understand that you have been spending money unneccessary which did not concern thistransaction, and uptil this moment he continue abusing and insulting me seriously.
Note: For Mr.Lewis, I don't know anybody called Zaineb, I hope I have told you this before in one of my letter's to you.

See below his mail to me today:-

LEWD (to Zainab)

Dearest Zainab,
I'm in my office again briefly, just stopping in again to pick up more provisions and then back out in the forest. We're leaving in about an hour and I just wanted to get a fast note off to you so you don't forget me.

I had asked Ms. Bushburn to go back to Minsk and straighten out the problem with
WESTERN UNION . She went back to see her boyfriend last wek but unfortunately she has not returned yet. This is not the first time she's taken off like this and I'd fire her ass if she wasn't so attractive (not as attractive as you, though). I just hope she got it sorted out but please send me a note if she didn't.

There's a pile of email from Mikhail and it looks like he's still in close touch with Mallam Mohammed. I haven't had time to go through it but by now this deal should be pretty well completed. I told you Mikhail would be a good guy to work with. Have you and your family started making arrangements to travel here?

Ok, gotta split. Give my regards to Mallam Mohammed and Mustapha. By the way, I keep a copy of our picture with me to keep me company on those cold

, lonely nights in the forest. I can't wait to get my hands on the real thing!! Still thinking of you,
Lewd



Mikhail Stroganov (to Lewd)

S



LEWD (to Mikhail Stroganov, cc: Zainab Abacha)

Mikhail, It was fortunate that you caught me as I was leaving.

I can only say that you don't know Zainab like I do. She was extremely helpful to me before you arrived to lend a hand and while I can't help but feel the way I do about her, I think that in no way has my vision been clouded in the least. I should also point out that while she may not have a lot of practical experience in these matters, she certainly does have the education. She has just completed her MBA there in Kano.

And while I admit you were correct about that Russian Jezebel that time back in Moscow, this is a different situation entirely. Zainab does not have a dishonest bone in her beautiful body and is as anxious as we are to see this transaction to completion. Deep down in your heart I know you want to see her get what she has coming as much as I do. If you feel that the lawyer is a useless jerkoff (and you know how I feel about lawyers), just tell Mallam Mohammed and I'm sure he'll get a different one. I trust your capable judgement in these things.

I haven't had time to go through all of your email. I just stopped in to pick up a few cans of spam and a few more litres of vodka. We're having an awful time finding this critter and every attempt to get him in our sights has ended in frustration. We've used up more ammunition than the krauts expended at Stalingrad but in every case it's been some sort of dometic creature that we've dispatched and not our sasquatch.

Keep up the good work I know you're doing and keep the custard in it's usual plasma-like state.

Lewd



Mikhail Stroganov (to Lewd)

LEWD
VERY WELL SIR_IF YOU INSIST BUT I MUST URGE CAUTION IN THESE AFFAIRS_I WILL TELL ABACHA TO FIND SUITABLE LEGAL REPRESENTATION BUT I STILL FEEL THAT ZAINAB IS NOT THE RIGHT PERSON FOR THIS TRANSACTION_HER PRIORITIES ARE NO DOUBT CENTREING IN GETTING ENOUGH CASH TO MOVE TO A BETTER SHANTYTOWN_HOWEVER I WILL ACCEDE TO YOUR WISHES AND REMAIN AT YOUR DISPOSAL

ZAINAB ABACHA (to Lewd)

Hello Lewis,
Thank God I am hearing from you after such a painful days. How is search for the critters, what is the situation like.

I read through your mails and i was not very happy with the word of your friend Mikhail. I have decided not to send him a mail cos am not very sure of what he is out for. Mohammed complained about him; instead of moving forward he wants to go back to where we are don with. I am getting tired of this transaction cos it doesn't seems to be progressing.

I was hoping by now we might be in Latvia.The consignment as been moved to London. If actually he really wants to assist us he should go to London to finalise with the diplomat or call the diplomat to find out the position of the consignment. I would rather suggest that since this is the situation, we better hold on the transaction until you are back.

Hope to hear from you.

take care baby

"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
Thank you very much for taking your time to resolve this issue accordingly. Now I understand better the good role you have played to make this transaction work out for both parties.

Once again I really appreciate your effort to get rid of the impostor, it was Mr Noogie's fault, I told him the intricacies involve but he failed to follow my instructions properly. Well, thank you so much and thank God we are back on the right track. There is no need to blame each other.

In the issue of Zainab, she was not initially involve in the transaction, herself and Mr Noogie were just friends. It was in the event when the impostor came into the transaction that Lewis personally invited Zainab to handle the transaction since he was a bit confuse on who to trust, whether the impostor or Myself. Zainab is my kid sister, she is my favorite in the family, but her only problem is that she is a "no nonsense lady" Please whatever she must have said to you, kindly forgives and forgets. One thing that will interest you about her is that she is very intelligent and friendly. I hope when we come over to Latvia you will meet her and find out all that.

Mikhail, the Lawyer has taken that instruction when Mr Noogie introduces Zainab into the transaction because she was the only person he trusts then.

I will talk to Zainab immediately, and tomorrow I will be in the Lawyer's office to talk to him on the transaction. I have initially asked the diplomat to deposit the consignment in a security company in London. Though the company has a branch office in Nigeria.

What I am going to suggest now is: -

1.We shall make a change of ownership of the consignment so it will bear the name of Mr Noogie.

2. After the change of ownership, Mr Noogie has to travel to London to collect the consignment up or make arrangement with the security company on how the consignment shall be deliver to him in Latvia.

Mikhail, if my suggestions are ok, let me know so that I will immediately contact my mummy for approval then I contact the security company immediately for the change of ownership. I will scan to you the deposit certificate of the consignment tomorrow.

We have to do this fast because we have delayed already.

Mikhail my friend, are you a Muslim? Your name sound like a Muslim name. Please reply me immediately. Please kindly forget the differences we have exhibited towards each other. The Barrister and Zainab is your friend. I will talk to them immediately to join their hands on the deck.

Thank you very much and God bless you abundantly.

It's me your friend,
MALLAM MOHAMMED ABACHA


MIKHAIL STROGANOV (to "Real" Mohammed)

MR ABACHA
THANK YOU FOR YOUR NOTE_I AM AFRAID THAT ZAINAB IS THREATENING TO PULL THE PLUG ON THIS POTENTIALLY PROFITABLE PROPOSITION AS SHE FEELS THAT I DO NOT RESPECT WOMEN_I HAVE BEEN MARRIED TO MY WIFE KATRINA FOR 35 YEARS FOR GODS SAKE_ANYWAY_TO BUSINESS_YOUR SUGGESTIONS SEEM SENSIBLE AND IT WOULD SEEM THAT AT LAST WE ARE MAKING PROGRESS_WELL DONE MAN_KEEP THIS UP AND WE WILL BE TAKING CUSTARD LIQUEURS AT BOWDEN'S BAR IN DOWNTOWN MOSCOW



ZAINAB ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Hi,
I don't understand what you are talking about.I want you to get one thing very clear, I don't need your money or any other person's money.My family is wealthy. The only problem we are facing is all our accounts in the country are frozen and that doesn't make us beggars. I wonder if this is the way you do your business.

Ever since you are into this transaction, everything is stuck, there is no progress.Is this how you want to achieve your aim? It is the problem of yours that you have to deal with another man (an impostor) who called himself my brother (ABACHA). There is one thing you have to digest into you; it is either you are sincerely into this business or you back out of it.

From your first mail you sent to me, it is glaring we are not compactable, I don't like you cos you do not have respect for women. If you continue this way, i will suggest you stop sending me mail.

bye


MIKHAIL STROGANOV (to Zainab)

MADAM
FRANKLY THIS SILLY SHILLY-SHALLYING AND PATHETIC POSTURING IS DOING NOTHING FOR YOURSELF_MR NOOGIE_OR YOUR BROTHER MOHAMMAD_IN FACT HE HAS CONTACTED ME WITH AN EXCELLENT PLAN TO TAKE THINGS FORWARD WITHOUT YOU SO FEEL FREE TO RANDOMLY RANT AND RAVE AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE AS NOBODY IS LISTENING TO YOUR DEMENTED DRIVEL_HOWEVER DO NOT SPEND TOO MUCH TIME VENTING YOUR SPLEEN AS I AM SURE THERE IS COOKING AND IRONING TO BE DONE

S



LEWD (to Zainab )

Zainab, my love,
We're searching an area of the forest that is closer to the hotel so I had a chance to stop in and quickly send you a note. I have so many things that I want to talk to you about but just don't have the time now.

There is a whole passel of email that Mikhail has forwarded to me so things must be moving along pretty well. Mikhail is a great guy to work with, isn't he? I knew that you and your brother would like him once you got to know him. I don't have time to read his email but I always feel confident when he's helping me with something.

Zainab, I've had a lot time to think during those cold, lonely nights out in the forrest. Why don't you come to Latvia now? You don't need to be there while Mikhail and Mallam Mohammed are taking care of this business. Please, come now!

Still no sign of Ms. Bushburn so I presume she's still in Minsk with her boyfriend. I'm gonna have to jerk a knot in her tail the next time I see her. When I'm finished with the hunt the first thing I will do is find out what went wrong at
WESTERN UNION . I'm sure that Mikhail has the transaction well-covered financially, but I want you to have that $2,000 anyhow as a gift. You can spend it on whatever you like.

Ok, I'm outta here again. All my love to you, and say hi to Mallam Mohammed and Mikhail for me.
Yours always,
Lewd

I was upset with the way Mikhail was handling the transaction.But i think there's progress now.I had a little brushes with him but Mohammed asked me to apologise to him, well, i just did that 4 my brother.

My brother is handling the transaction with Mikhail.

Now, mummy will not allow me to come to Latvia alone, but i promised to come, maybe i have to renew my passport and visa first.

I would like to meet Mikhail cos the guy is some how tough on women."take care and stay save"
bye-Zane



ZAINAB ABACHA (to Mikhail)

MIKHAIL STROGANOV (to Zainab)

ZAINAB
AT LAST YOU HAVE SEEN SENSE_VERY WELL I ACCEPT YOUR APOLOGY IN THE SPIRIT IN WHICH IT IS MEANT AND IF I HAVE CAUSED ANY BAD FEELING THEN I TOO WOULD LIKE TO RECIPROCATE_ AS YOU SAY LET US MOVE FORWARD TOGETHER AND LOOK FORWARD TO THIS TRANSACTION REACHING ITS NATURAL CONCLUSION
S



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
How are you today? And I hope you are hearing from my friend Lewis. Please am sorry for the way Zainab must have addressed you.I have spoken with her, I will make her apologise to you ok.

Goodnews!!!
I spoke with my mummy about the change of ownership to Lewis, she was really afraid but I have to convinced her about the whole plan but thank God after much persuasion She finally gave her approval. I have to re-assure are that the transaction is in safe hands.Please Mikhail you will help me to retain the trust my mummy has for me and guarantee that the consignment is safe in your hand.

I immediately went to the security company to enquire the cost of making the change of ownership.The company legal director who is incharge gave me a total bill of 2,450 pounds including his legal fee (1,700pounds) 1700+ 750(change of ownership fee) = 2,450. I think this is rather too high, alternatively we have the option of bringing our lawyer or another lawyer, may be we can pay him about few hundrend bucks and settle for the change of ownership fee of 750pounds only with the company. Tomorrow I will go about to make arrangement for the lawyer.

Mikhail, can we still involve Barrister Clark? Well, whatever you may suggest, my concern is to make the cost lesser.

Please get back to me immediately.

ATTACHED IS THE CERTIFICATE OF DEPOSIT.
THANKS

Do not contact Sir Charles yet, let us watch out for the business first of all. I will get back to you.



MIKHAIL STROGANOV (to "Real" Mohammed)

MOHAMMED
VERY WELL_BUT IT IS A PRE-REQUISITE THAT WE USE HIM AS I TRUST SIR CHARLES IMPLICITLY_IN THE MEANTIME IT IS A RUSSIAN TRADITION TO GET TO KNOW OUR BUSINES PARTNERS ESPECIALLY IN A CASE OF THIS MAGNITUDE_TELL ME_DO YOU LIKE FOOTBALL???



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
At the time I replied your mail this morning, I was hasting to see Barrister Clark. I was actually thinking if we could contract another Lawyer.Since you have suggested that we still use Barrister Clark, I agreed with you.I have confidence in Barrister Clark because he is a Senior Advocate of Nigeria. Though I was considering that he is going to cost us as a result of his statute in the profession.

I have discussed with him, he agreed to undertake the "change of ownership" process. But he is charging 1,100pounds.Well,I considered this, though it's high but still better than involving the security company's Legal director. Therefore, the total money the "change of ownership" is going to cost us is 1,850pounds. The lawyer also went further to state that the change of ownership is going to be backed by "POWER OF ATTORNEY" so he is going to issue this to you as this will empower Mr Lewis as the owner of the transaction.

I think this arrangement by him is fairly ok, Please if this is ok by you just let me know so that I will ask him to start the process.

The question you asked; yes I love football but am not a good player. I will appreciate if you can get me a phone number I can call you.

Thanks
MM

HETTIE MESHUGANAH (to Mikhail)

Dear Mr Stroganov,

Sir Charles Farnes-Barnes has asked me to contact you on an urgent matter. As per your instructions, we sold your holdings in Chavster Newman Media this morning and you now have 690,000 Canadian dollars in your Smegaroon account.

As per your instrictions wer have converted 250,000 Canadian dollars into Slovenian golden dorks and Sir Charles suggests that you use either of these currencies to pay Mr Mohammad should you decide to continue with this business.

Sir Charles adds that you must obtain an assurance from Mr Mohammad that all the modalities are in place and that the transaction will be conducted in fragrente delicto. Furthmore Sir Charles sees no reason why this should create any problem but as a matter of form these assurances should be given by Mr Mohammad.

Yours sincerely,

OK Mikhail, I will ask him to contact you immediately. But I have made arrangement that, the money will be sent through his company's Accountant.But the WESTERN UNION details shall be sent to me.I will not give the information out until we get to the Bank.

STROGANOV



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,

Why on earth should any one suggest such. The consignment has been valued and documented in the certificate of deposit.There is no way this can be uttered until the consignment gets to its final destination.

I want to make this very clear to you that the consignment contains real fund but I never told any one this except Mr Noogie. It is against the condition of deposit Mr Mikhail, I don't understand why we are dragging this issue of payment so far. I have spent so much on this consignment uptill this time. I have spent up to $41,000 so far.We are suppose to be partners not playing the role of advicers. Please if you truly have this transaction in mind, you pay this money or I look for someone else who will be ready to assist me. Today is friday and nothing has been achieved other than sending unending mails to each other. Please think about this so that we pay the security company.

MOHAMMED



MIKHAIL STROGANOV (to "Real" Mohammed Abacha)

"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
It seems you do not understand the nature of this transaction. This is my consignment, and I decide what to do and who to deal with. The suggestion on how to raise payment is out of the Lawyer's business.

Therefore, the lawyer should not be involved into this. I cannot tell the lawyer the actual content of the consignment, all he knew of is that the consignment contains goods worth $30million.That is to keep the fund safe until you receive it in your country. And this is still in line with the agreement process.

Please take your time to visit the following web link, perhaps, will make you understand more about my family and the transaction: -

http://www.angelfire.com/tx/bumez/petition.html
http://www.odili.net/news/source/2004/oct/24/2.html

Today is the last day of another working days, and nothing was achieved.

Mikhail, I want you to past this message to Mr Noogie, it is either you are ready to assist me as a partner or not. Besides your share of the transaction is $9million.This an amount you have to earn.

"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Mikhail,
I do not have any element of mistrust for Barrister Clark, I know him to be a very reliable person. Mikhail, why should you tell the lawyer that the consignment contains fund. Dont you understand that if he is aware that it contains cash, he may increase his bill.

It seems you are taking this transaction as a child's play, I want you to call me so that we can talk everything over on phone. Just to let me know if you are ready to do this transaction with me or not.

LEWD (to Zainab)

Zane, my dearest, I'm back!

Oh, the stories I have to tell you when we're together! It was a terrible ordeal, but we were finally able to dispatch that nasty creature. Most of him is now safely stored in the hotel freezer while his pelt graces the hotel lobby. They weren't able to entirely get rid of the smell but it's not too bad if you stand about 10 feet away from it.

Ivan, the hotel cook, says that he has a marinade recipe for cougar that he thinks will work just fine with sasquatch. I promised you a bar-b-que, remember?

I read an email that Mikhail forwarded to me from Barrister Clark saying that the transaction would be complete by Friday. Well, it's Sunday now, so I presume everything is finished and you're making travel arrangements. Please, Punkin, write back now and tell me when you'll be here!

Zane, I had a lot of time to think out there in the woods. I thought about the wonderful life we could have together if this money were just for you and me. What if I told you there might be a way for just the two of us to have this money? We could still send your family enough to live on from the interest. What would you think about this? I would still have to pay off Mikhail for his time - there are rumors that he used to work for the KGB and he probably still has friends that I wouldn't want to come looking for me, but I don't think we'd have to worry about your brothers or mother finding us. I'm not asking for an answer this moment, just think about it.

I am exhausted and I smell worse than that sasquatch. It's a shower and to bed. When I wake up in the morning I'll get an email off to Mikhail and Mohammed to see how things have concluded.

All my love,
Lewd

LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,

I arrived back at the hotel yesterday after a long and arduous hunt, fully expecting this thing to be wrapped up. I have spent the morning reading several emails from Mikhail and I have to say I'm somewhat distressed to find that we haven't made any real progress.

Before I write to Mikhail I wanted to get your side of the story first. From what I can tell, the main bottleneck here seems to be our infamous Barrister Clark. I'm sure you will recall that I was not overly impressed with his performance either and Mikhail seems to be even less so. I don't know, maybe it is because he is too busy with other endeavors to fully focus on our transaction but he seemed to me to be unresponsive and somewhat diffused. I believe I suggested it once before but what do you now think about maybe replacing him?

Mohammed, I would like you to ask your mother to contact me. I have sent her several emails but none of them have been responded to. She told me that if there were ever any problems during the course of the transaction to contact her, and I would at least like to bring her up to date on where we are.

Please get back to me as soon as possible. I'm sure you are aware that your sister and I have developed a relationship, hopefully with your approval, and I want to get her to Latvia as quickly as possible.

Looking forward to hearing from you.
Lewd



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Please Mikhail, I really appreciate all you have done so far.Maybe there is a misconception somewhere. I think we should talk on phone please. This may help us greatly.

Kindly call me now.

MOHAMMED
CALLING YOU ON THE PHONE IS EASIER SAID THAN DONE_YOUR CHEAP NATIVE LINE DOESN'T EVEN WORK AS IT IS CONSTANTLY ENGAGED OR I GET SOME WITTERING NATIVE GIBBERING ON IN SOME DODGY DIALECT_WHAT THE DEVIL IS GOING ON MAN_WHAT TIME DOES YOUR SHANTY TOWN EXCHANGE OPEN???

S



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Mikhail)

Dear Mikhail,
I was expecting your call; I had wanted us to have a discussion on phone. I must not hesitate to tell you that I am not impress with the way you have handled the transaction so far.We have not achieved anything so far, so good.

I wonder why you have been so curious about the Lawyer. I am the owner of this business. The lawyer will only assist us in perfecting the legal procedures on the change of ownership. We are not employing him for retainership. He only needs to sign a document, which may take a day or two.

Mikhail, I want to make it very clear to you that I am getting impatient concerning this whole transaction. My account is being credited every day with the sum of $345 per day for the extra days spend by the consignment in the security company. If you are truly interested in this transaction, you have to make the payment or I have to look for another person who will be interested, besides all your expenses shall be paid to you before the sharing or you can open the consignment immediately you receive it to settle your expenses.

I want you to make your position known to me in your next mail so that I move forward.

ThanksMALLAM MOHAMMED

NOTE LEWIS: I WILL FORWARD TO YOU OUR RECENT COMMUNICATION.



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Dear Lewis,
What's your pet name? IMAM
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

It is really nice to hear from you. And am happy that you are back.
Hope all is well for now in regard to the critters?

Lewis, dealing with Mr. Mikhail has been very hectic and depressing. I have tried has much as possible to control my temper because I respect you as a worthy person and for the fact that you are out to assist my family despite your share of the transaction. There comes a time that he insulted Zainab and she as to reciprocate. I have to personally settle them both and I made Zainab to apologized to him, which she did. I briefed him on the transaction so far, he wanted us to start all over again, he insisted but I then suggested that we made a change of ownership of the transaction in your name "Mr Lewis Noogie".

In the process we need to involve a lawyer. The legal director of the security company gave us a bill of about 3,000pounds, but with the option that we could arrange to bring our lawyer inn. I told Mikhail, he suggested that we should give barrister Clark a second chance, which I agreed upon.

I forwarded to Mr Mikhail the certificate of deposit.

Now, the payment for the change of ownership in the company is 750pounds and the Lawyer fee and other legal expenses amounted 1,100pounds; all together amounted to 1,850pounds which is lesser than the cost we would have incurred if we decide to involve the company legal director.A certain financial adviser advised him to pay the money in a certain currency, but I refused because
WESTERN UNION in Nigeria pay with British pounds and USA dollars.

He sent a mail to Barrister Clark that was rather insulting, Clark refuses to reply. He insisted that barrister Clark should explain to him the process of the change of ownership.

I have to go to Barrister Clark's office here in Lagos to make him see reasons with the nature of the transaction. And Clark sends him a mail that same day.

And Clark told him that he has to prepare the power of Attorney that will empower you as the owner of the transaction. And this is to guarantee or back up the change of ownership certificate.

Lewis, am not happy to tell you this; that Mikhail broke the rule of the transaction by informing Clark that the consignment contain real fund. I was upset; I never wanted anyone except you to know that. Barrister Clark called me to find out but I insisted that the consignment contains Africa Art worth $30million.

In summary, there has been no success in the transaction, Zainab got fed up and she left for Kano.

Lewis, the only thing that is holding the transaction is the payment of the 1,850pounds.
My mummy is worried, you should reach her via: mariamaba3@kaixo.com I will inform her to get your mail by tomorrow. Please do not make the same mistake of sending a mail to an impostor or a wrong person. Take note of my mums email address.

I just sent Mikhail the following mail before your mail arrives.

[Mallam Mohammed sends me the correspondence with Mikhail during my absence...]


"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Lewis,
What's your pet name? IMAM
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"
This are some of the mails pertaking my discussion with Mikhail so far.

MM



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
I received the transcript of your correspondence with Mikhail and I will go through it this morning to see if I can't come up with a way to work ourselves out of this mess. I am very disappointed that this thing isn't complete and settled.

I realize that Mikhail can be very demanding but he is very detail-oriented. He has profited immensely from some deals that I considered at the time to be very shaky but he was able to do so because he makes sure that all the i's are dotted and the t's crossed. One thing I don't understand is why you didn't just go ahead and pay the barrister. If you're paying $345/day for the consignment to sit in that security company, paying the 1,800 pounds is the equivalent of a week's storage time. Seems to me it would have just been simpler to pay the guy and get it done and over with.

I'll go through the correspondence and get back to you.

Lewd



LEWD (to "Real" Mariam Abacha)

Mariam, dear lady,
I thought it would be a good time to touch base with you.

I just returned from a terrible ordeal in the Latvian countryside, but that's a story I can tell you when you get here. Right now I think we should discuss the transaction. I would like this discussion to remain strictly between you and myself. Mariam, this thing, to put it gently, is completely dicked up, and from what I can tell from the correspondence that Mallam Mohammed has sent to me, it appears to be mostly the fault of him and that idiot barrister Clark.

Mariam, this transaction should have been so simple. When I started this with Mustafa, the consignment was going to be carried here by diplomat. Very neat and clean. Then Mallam Mohammed gets involved and all of a sudden there's this shyster lawyer lurking over everybody like a vulture, asking for exorbitant fees just to sign a piece of paper for me, being unresponsive, and obviously clueless as to what is going on. Then when the diplomat has to go to London or Amsterdam or someplace on some junket, instead of just sitting on the consignment for awhile until the diplomat return, he sends it WITH the diplomat to be deposited in some "security" company, whatever the hell that is.

It was necessary for me to nominate a representative, Mr. Mikhail Stroganov, to work in my behalf, Mikhail is a very successful businessman and has considerable financial resources and personnel at his disposal. He immediately picked up on the fact that this Barrister Clark is a total incompetent and didn't hesitate a moment to say so.

I am sorry that Mikhail and Zainab got off to a bad start but it seems that things have been smoothed over between them. I presume that Zane has told you about our relationship. I look forward so much to her finally being here with me. As a matter of fact, I see that she has sent me a letter which I will read as soon as I finish this.

Mariam, we have to do something to get this moving. My own suggestion would be to bring Mustapha back to run this from your end. He seems much more capable in these sorts of things, more direct and to-the-point.

Please get back to me as soon as you can. I have not forgotten that you said you consider me as a son and right now I could use some motherly advice.

ZAINAB ABACHA (to Lewd)

Hi dear,
Thank God u're back.I was wondering what must have kept you so long.what's this creature all about, i don't understand, can i have a picture of it?

I have concluded my exams now am all around mummy.my mummy's company has been sealed up by the government, so the entire place is boring.I can't wait to get out of the country at least for a while.

Mummy has been so worried, there is absolutely no progress in the transaction.Your friend has only succeeded in asking questions backward.He uses dirty languages,infact he insulted me i can't take such shit so i gave it back at him.He couldn't pay the money for the change of ownership, i even told him of the money i paid the lawyer to get the stuff to London and that the financier bothering me to repay back,he never respond.I got infuriated and i returned back to Kano.

Pls i want u to send mummy mail,she is worried about the transaction.mail her mariamaba3@kaixo.com

what's it that u talk about,that we might keep the money for ourselves? pls don't even think about that.U 've ur own share of the money which is $9million, the other for all ur expenses and the balance for my family.I can never do anything to hurt mummy.so just take that out of the context.I don't want to hear that again.

We may spend some time together but not forever besides we have to know each other first.

I will start working for my visa immediately. Baby,you have to make fast arrangement on the transaction. I don't like Mr Mikhail, but i have to apologise to him cos Mohammed asked me to.takecare and stay save sweetie-

Zane



LEWD (to Zainab)

Zane, my love,
I was at first so happy to get your letter until I read your statement that, "We may spend some time together but not forever ...". You don't realize what you've done to me, Punkin.

I told you long ago that the only reason I was staying involved in this was because of you and the hope of spending the rest of my life with a woman of your beauty and intelligence. And now you tell me it's just for a little while.

You hurt me, darlin'. Real bad.

Is that what I am to you, Zane? A boy-toy? A one-night stand? Were you planning on coming here, using me as some kind of stud, and then throwing me away? Well, Lewd Noogie has been used this way many times before and I vowed it would not happen again.

It's true, I wanted to get the money for just you and me, but is that such a crime? That I should be only concerned for myself and my wife? Yes. There, I've said it. I knew I wanted you from the first time your mother sent me your picture.

I just finished letters to Mallam Mohammed and your mother trying to get this transaction moving but you have sapped my will. I have to rethink all of this, Zane. I'm still very tired from my ordeal and right now I'm very confused by your letter.

I thought it would be so much more.

Yours in the arms of dispair,
Lewd



"REAL" MOHAMMED ABACHA (to Lewd)

Dear Lewis,
What's your pet name? IMAM
How are you? "my sweetest one zero one zane"

Yes! really Mikhail is very demanding.It is unbelieveable that we could not achieve anything.

I cannot raise the 1,800pounds, the extra days the consignment is staying in the security company is being credited to my account and I have not be able to settle for that.But hopefully it is my duty to do that.

I want you to suggest what exactly we need to do to get this done urgently.
-MM



LEWD (to "Real" Mohammed)

Mallam Mohammed,
A lot of the incentive I had to complete this transaction is gone after the note I got from Zane yesterday and I also haven't heard anything back from your mother yet. Let me think about this for awhile.
Lewd



ZAINAB ABACHA (to Lewd)

Hi Baby,
I am sorry if my message has hurt you.That was not what i mean.I only wanted to be straight forward.

What am trying to say in excess is that we have to know each other very well before making up a plan to stay together forever.

You are handsome and charming but there is more to that i need to know. In Nigeria or Africa, we cannot marry like that without the blessing of the immediate and the extended family.All the traditional rites has to be perform before we can decides to stay together forever.

My coming to Latvia is to know you better, if we both decides that we are compactible, you have to come with me to Nigeria to perform the marriage arrangement and agreement with my family.

To be frank and sincere, i need you as much as you need me.

I was in the immigration office today to put up application for my visa.Mum is going to allow me to come to Latvia with Mohammed.

Never mind baby, i shall make it up to you.
takecare and stay save.-Zane



LEWD (to Zainab)

Dearest Zane,
I suppose it's my fault. You have to understand that much of my life is spent on the road, going from one hotel to another, and with very little companionship. The only contact with a woman that I've had in a long time is with Olga, the East German massage therapist that works here at the hotel in Novosibirsk. She and I were starting to get serious until you came along and I have more or less burned my bridges with her since I got to know you.

Zane, I know you're right when you say we need time to find out if we're really compactible. It's just a lingering fear that I have of finding out that we're not. I guess we just need to give it time.

Lewd



ZAINAB ABACHA (to Lewd)

Hi Sweetie,
How is ur day? Hope you are fine.
I have to keep my promise to be checking my mails at least ones in 2days.

I understand you perfectly, and am not complaining about the nature of your job. I am not reprimanding u for any reason.

Also I broke up a relationship of 4yrs before i met u.I love u but i don't want to promise u anything yet.

if we are going to get married we 've to know each other very well. To avoid a situation of getting married today and divorce tomorrow. Plans to spend the entire life together is not something we have to rush. My coming to Latvia will be an opportunity to know each other. Hope u will understand that. This is the reason am working on my visa presently.

Pls just remain the good guy u're, definitely we are going to have a nice time together in Novosibirsk.

Mummy said she sent u a mail yesterday. She is expecting ur mail.
Take care and stay save.
-Zane



"REAL" MARIAM ABACHA (to Lewd)

My Dear Son,
I am not so opportune to check my mails so often.I have to drop by today to do just this.
I have read your message i agreed with some things you mentioned.
Yes, Zainab has told me so much about you, from the way she talks about you I know she is in love.

It has bothered me so much the way this is being delayed, i do not really need to blame anyone for that.

First of all, you should understand the nature, the complexity and secrecy involve in the transaction.Cos of this it is abruptly difficult and risky to be changing hands of persons already involve.The issue of the Lawyer is not different.He was one of my husband's Lawyer, we have paid him exorbitantly in the past likewise he still expect that from us.Besides involving a senior advocate Lawyer here in Nigeria is as expenses as that.

I will not support the ideal of changing lawyer because of the secrecy of the consignment.

Therefore, all I want you to do is to send money to Mohammed to take care of all the expenses.I have already stated that all shall be paid to you.Your friend and representative has not make any impact in the business so i just relax until when i hear your return.We should also watch out for issue of impostor, Mustapha was not so careful to that extent cos he was always seen in the public places, that attract government spies all over him.Mohammed is more careful and experience in such.Your suggestion to bring Mustapha back on the transaction is rather risky.

The diplomat was only assisting us in moving the consignment out of the country and this was against his official duties,when his change of movement came up which was dictated by the government , we could not compel him to go to Latvia when he have an assignment in London. When you could not meet him up I suggested that the consignment be deposited with a security company.

All I think we should do to perfect the change of ownership is to pay all the fees involve,this will enable you deal with the security company directly as the owner. i will personally make sure that all your expenses is paid back to you before your share of the money. Zainab went to the immigration office to prepare her visa, sure she will be coming to Latvia together with Mohammed. Please always get back to me for update.
IT'S ME
Hajia Mariam Abacha


[Time to dump Zane and start laying some groundwork to put the Noogie moves on Mariam...]


LEWD (to "Real" Mariam )

Mariam,
It was so good to hear from you finally! I wrote to you several times but with no response.

I have some ideas on speeding up progress on the transaction but right now I really need to talk with you about other matters.

You don't have to tell me that Zane is in love; she may well be but it's not with me. I realize now from her letters that Zane is not really interested in me and I'm really not surprised. Women her age are more interested in the quantity of men around them, not the quality. They're not looking to the future at things like how well a man can support them, or how good a life a man can give them. They just want lots of guys falling all over themselves trying to get close. Well, I'm not interested in convoy duty.

I confess to having a passion for Nigerian women since you sent me your family pictures. You are all so tall, lithe and beautiful, especially you, Mariam. I think my mistake was to try for one who is obviously too young for me, too immature. What I need most is a mature woman, someone who has experienced life and knows the ways of the world. We can talk more of this later.

Please tell Zane for me that there are no hard feelings on my part but that it just would not have worked between us. She is still welcome to come here to Latvia with Mohammed but I'm afraid we can only be friends, nothing more.

Mariam, what are your plans for coming here to Latvia?

I will write later today regarding the transaction

Love,
Lewd



LEWD (to Mikhail Stroganov, "Real" Mariam Abacha)

Thu, 7 Jul 2005

Mariam / Mikhail,
I have given considerable thought to the way this transaction has been going and I think it best that the three of us put our heads together to work out a plan. But first, I think I should introduce the two of you.

Mariam, Mikhail Stroganov is a true gentleman and close friend of mine who has helped me in a number of financial dealings. I would also say that some of the deals appeared to me to be very shaky but he pushed me take a few risks and he turned out to be right every time. He has access to considerable financial resources and personnel and I defer final say to him on any action taken from our end.

Mikhail, this very lovely lady is Mariam Abacha and she is Mohammed's and Zainab's mother. She is the real power behind their family and she likewise has final say on any action taken from her end. She and I began this transaction and have had a close relationship, which I hope to make closer very soon.

Ok, down to business. Despite heroic efforts on the part of everyone involved, we haven't made much progress lately. From reading through what correspondence I have, here's where I think we are:

1. I think our lack of progress has been for a number of reasons, one of which is the fact that Mallam Mohammed did not really think things through when he transferred the consignment to London. Bad move.

2. We had one or more imposters involved. One claimed to be Mallam Mohammed and another was some barrister named Hamster Gerbil. It took some time but I think we owe a debt of gratitude to Mikhail for his excellent job of weeding out the bad guys as quickly as he did. High five on that one, MS!

3. The involvement of the good barrister Clark also seems to have been a bottleneck. As I told you, Mariam, he has been unresponsive and charges extortionate rates for very little effort. I immediately became suspicious when he tried to pad his bill to me with all sorts of unnecessary charges and fees. You may have been somewhat lavish with him in the past, but he's dealing with us now and we want a fair day's work for a fair day's pay.

Considering the amount of money we're dealing with, I think we should strike quickly but with caution. I think we can go ahead and start throwing money at this transaction to get it done and over with. Mikhail, let me ask - I saw mention of Sir Charles Farnes-Barnes in the correspondence - where exactly is he now? I know I would fell much more comfortable with him looking over our shoulders on a deal this big. Can we get some input from him on this? I would even approve using the services of barrister Clark if Sir Charles gives us an ok on him.

These are my thoughts and I look for input from both of you. Please respond quickly so we can get this thing off the dime.

Lewd

ps - Mikhail, I saw something from Hettie Meshuganah in the correspondence. Is she still married?


Mikhail Stroganov (to Lewd, cc: "Real" Mariam Abacha)

VERY WELL_LET US HOPE THAT MOHAMMED AND ZAINAB DID NOT INHERIT THEIR BRAINS FROM THEIR MOTHER AND THAT WE CAN AT LAST GIVE THE ABACHAS WHAT THEY DESERVE_I CAN CONFIRM THAT HETTIE MESHUGANAH IS SINGLE BUT I'D BE CAREFUL AS SHE HAS SOMETHING OF A REPUTATION_SIR CHARLES IS ON HOLIDAY IN SMEGAROON UNTIL MONDAY BUT I HAVE CONTACTED HIM AND HE SAYS TO PROCED_BUT SLOWLY AS HE IS STILL NOT TOTALLY CONVINCED BY WHAT HE SEES AS A BIT OF A MUDHUT FARCE_HOWEVER I REMAIN AT YOUR SERVICE
S



"REAL" MARIAM ABACHA (to Lewd)

My Dear Lewis,
Thanks so much for your mail.

I read through your mail and it all amazed me. In the process of our communication, we shall concentrate strictly on the transaction at hand and nothing more.
I agreed with you in the number of reasons raised by you.

1. I shall deal with you alone, you can only take advices from your friends that are already involved. I do not want any one to send me mail apart from you.

2.You should understand that the consignment was hastily taken to London because of the impostor involved. We were afraid of the risk of being track down here in Nigeria. So we have to move the consignment to a safer place were you can pick it up.

3. There was a problem with the Barrister because you refused to have a cordial relationship with him, hence all your correspondences were much more directed to the business.

I agreed that my husband has lavished his money on him in the past but that is not same for now, consulting a lawyer in Nigeria can be very expenses mostly when you are involving a lawyer with high standard.

WAY FORWARD

You should not bother much about the Lawyer or whoever we may contact henceforth. My major concern is to get the job done.

The total money require to conclude this transaction is about 1,850pounds if am right????

What you should be concern with now is the cost of the change over certificate with the company (750pounds).

You should send only that amount (750pounds). I will take care of all other aspect and expenses.

I believe with this all the problems will be over and what we should be talking is Mohammed going to your country for sharing and investment.

Contact Mohammed on how the money be sent to him.

Reply when you receive the mail.
I am actually grateful.
Hajia Mariam



LEWD (to "Real" Mariam)

Sun, 10 Jul 2005

Mariam, dear lady,
It is always such a pleasant surprise to find something from you in my inbox, and have I got something for your inbox when you get here.

Mariam, I have always felt that I could talk to you in a straightforward manner and I hope to continue to do so. I somehow have the feeling that you are not being told everything about what has been going on with this transaction and may even have intentionally been given false information.

The consignment was not taken to London because of the imposter that Mikhail was able to eliminate. It was because the diplomat had to attend a meeting there and Mohammed, instead of holding the deposit for a couple more weeks until the diplomat returned, unwisely sent it with him to London. This was not very smart on Mohammed's part and it has only served to complicate matters.

I did not refuse to have a cordial relationship with the barrister and I don't now who told you that. What I did refuse was to let that bloodsucker charge us for a lot of unnecessary crap. All Mohammed and I wanted him to do was to sign a piece of paper as my representative and he starts coming up with all these charges for things that were just not necessary.

I get the strong impression that Mohammed, and quite possibly yourself, do not fully realize what we are dealing with here. Mariam, this is THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS we're talking, and that is some serious centavos! There are so many ways that I can think of that this whole thing could go wrong and I'm sure I haven't thought of everything. This is why we need Mikhail and Sir Charles involved. They have so much more experience in these matters than you or I do and they know what to look out for. Sure, Mikhail is a little gruff at times but it comes from his doing business in that cut-throat Russian business environment. He is as fully committed to this as I am, and I strongly feel that he needs to be in direct contact with you as well as myself. I'm sorry, but I think it quite naive of you to insist that only I correspond with you.

Mariam, I have put a lot of money into this transaction - the hotel room that Mohammed had me reserve for the diplomat came to just over $7,000 and I have sent $2,000 to Zainab. I don't know if there's still a problem with the $2,000 because Ms. Bushburn, my admin assistant, disappeared while I was hunting and I haven't heard from her in several weeks. That's a lot of money spent with no return so far. I don't mind spending money but so far a total of $9,000 of my money has been wasted. For this reason I would like to get the opinions of Mikhail and Sir Charles on each move we make.

I desparately want you and your family here, especially you, but I want us to be rich when you get here.

I hope to hear that you agree with me.
Lewd



"REAL" MARIAM ABACHA (to Lewd)

My Dear Lewis,
It's sad that we've both spent so much and yet no success.

This has given me sleepless night. I never thought it will take such a long time. Never mind, all your expenses shall be taken care off. All is noted, but Zainab told me about the $2,000, she never received it.

In regard to our discussion previously, I have given this transaction a deal of thought, henceforth; i have to give it a close checking to get everything done. This is why i have to be checking on my mails more often to get things right in the next few days.I have heard from you and I believe your words but there is no time for us to take the clock backward, forward we must go.

As a result of the security check, have just opened a new mail address: mariamaba_3@yahoo.co.uk that you shall be reaching me. I may be using either of the two to contact you.

This is why I do not want to take mails from anyone apart from you.You can seek advice from your friends but no one should contact me except you.

As earlier mentioned in my last mail, you should not bother much about the Lawyer or whoever we may contact henceforth. My major concern is to get the job done.The total money require to conclude this transaction is about 1,850pounds if am right????What you should be concern with now is the cost of the change over certificate with the company (750pounds). Please help me send the money so that we do this week.You should send only that amount (750pounds). I will take care of all other aspect and expenses.I believe with this all the problems will be over and what we should be talking is Mohammed going to your country for sharing and investment.
Contact Mohammed on how the money be sent to him.

For any urgent attention, you can message me through Mohammed. If it's confidential, just tell him to ask me to pick a mail from my box and he will call me.

Reply when you receive the mail.

I am actually grateful.
Hajia Mariam


LEWD (to "Real" Mariam)

Dearest Mariam,
Always so nice to hear from you. Really, my day just doesn't start right unless I find something from you in my inbox in the morning.

Mariam, I hate to belabor a point but I feel it's for everyone's benefit, especially your own. This is YOUR money, dear lady, and for you to not want to be totally aware of what is going on disturbs me greatly. I don't know if it's a cultural difference in business practices but I don't feel comfortable with you not in the loop 100%. I know from experience that something this big has got to be a team effort and completely transparent to everyone involved. I don't know if your desire to hear from me alone is because of perhaps feelings that you've developed for me (I hope it is) or because of something that Mikhail might have said but we all have to be in this together.

I will suggest that we institute an 'open communications' policy, similar to what I have with my hotel management partnership. For the remainder of the transaction all correspondence to you, Mohammed or Mikhail will be copied to everyone else, and everyone else should do the same. Henceforth, if you write to me regarding the transaction it should also be copied to Mohammed and Mikhail.

If you want to write to me alone about things outside the transaction then by all means do so. There are some things that you and I shsould keep between ourselves.

Again, hoping for your agreement.
Lewd

LEWD (to Zainab)

Tue, 12 Jul 2005

Zane,
Apparently your mother did not pass on my message to you.

Zane, my dear, I have come to the realization that you and I can never be. When you told me you had just broken off a long relationship I knew that I had caught you on the bounce but at the time it didn't matter. Then I saw how you avoided me and spurned my advances.

You are a very attractive girl, doubtlessly intelligent, but I now feel that our age difference is too much. I need a woman closer to your mother's age, someone who has the experience of life behind her, someone who has lived through it all. A girl your age is into things like discos, cars, parties and threesomes. We may be able to work something out on that last item if Mariam is up for it but I think we have to face reality - we just aren't meant for each other in an exclusive relationship.

I feel terrible making you cry like this but it's better said now. You are still welcome here in Latvia, but I'm afraid only in the company of your mother.

Sir Charles,
Wonderful to make your aquaintance, truly a pleasure. I have followed your career for some time and it's good to have you aboard for this transaction.

As Mikhail may have told you, we're at a somewhat critical stage of the modalities as Mrs. Abacha is playing hardball regarding the involvement of others. I'm trying to break down her defenses, both modality-wise and romantically but so far not a lot of progress on either count.

I will continue along my current course and will keep both you and Mikhail well-informed. Please be ready to mobilize on short notice.

Lewd

ps - I was not aware that Hettie had a TWIN sister. Be still my thundering pulse! My regards to the both of them.

"REAL" MARIAM ABACHA (to Lewd)

My Dear Lewis,
I am not very good in stressing on one issue consistently, I have read from you, Mikhail,Mohammed and Zainab.I have taken comparisons of all complainers and I know exactly were the problem lies.My confidence is that I trust you and i do not exhibit any atom of fear in you except you decides to turn around on your own.No delays any more so we have to move forward.

I insist I communicate with you alone, you can equally mail Mohammed to inform him though it is my duty to do that and that is all.

I never thought of anyone before i approached you to assist me.Therefore i deal with you directly.

Lewis, why is this transaction being delayed, is this how the dealings as been, I am handling this myself and yet no progress. I want to ask you one simple question that requires YES or NO. Are you truly with me in this transaction as a business partner?........

In your last mail, you made a comment that you have spent about $9,000.Also I have spent $36,500 as far as i can remember. Please darling, if you are truly with me do what is expected from you and lets get everything done. If you are not committed, do not hesitate to let me know your stand so that I find a lasting solution to my poblem.Remember your share of this business is $9million, whatever both of us most have spent is insignificant to the amount involve.

Please do what you are supposed to do.
Hajia



LEWD (to "Real" Mariam)

Tue, 12 Jul 2005

Dearest Mariam,
I confess to becoming somewhat exasperated at constantly trying to save you from yourself. I am also somewhat dismayed at your questioning my commitment to you as a business partner. Mariam, if I wasn't fully committed I would not have put as much into this as I have. This transaction has been nothing but a bottomless pit for me to throw my money into and a headache from the git-go but I have hung in there.

You say you know exactly where the problem lies, but I wonder if you really do. It is apparent to me that you are misreading several aspects of this situation. One is that you don't seem to be aware that Mikhail is actually your strongest supporter in this transaction. I'm sure you feel he's been abusive but this is his way of determining YOUR commitment. You also owe him a major debt of gratitude for ridding us of imposters who tried to horn in earlier. I could never have done that by myself and all Mohammed did was whine and throw passwords at us.

In private correspondence he has advised me to go ahead with this transaction to it's completion but he, like myself, insist on total and complete transparancy and a team effort. He has the infrastructure in place to prevent further wasting of money without results. We both realize that money has to be spent up front and that is not a problem for either of us. The problem is the amount of money that has been spent to date without results.

If you don't want to cooperate in seeing this to a successful conclusion, I suggest that Mohammed, Mikhail and myself take over the helm and you step back to a position as observer. I would, however, like for you to explain to your son that he must consult with us before he makes ANY move. No more of this sending the consignment halfway around the world on some whim. No more moving targets, it stays where it is until we have it in our possession.

Upon hearing that you are in agreement I will immediately contact Mohammed to determine our next step.

Lewd

Mariam, dearest,
I spent a lot of time in the hotel bar yesterday thinking this thing through. As much as it goes against my better judgement, I've decided to try it your way. Olga, the East German massage therapist here at the hotel is going to Minsk for a long weekend and I've asked her to send the dollar-equivalent of 750 pounds through
WESTERN UNION . The problem is that I've lost the correspondence that says who it should be sent to.

Olga will be leaving this evening so please let me know today. Yours always,

My Dear Lewis,

Thanks very much for understanding my stand in this transaction.I equally understood yours.Our whole efforts is to get this done once and for all.And i equally appreciate Mikhail's high sense of business experience; my regards to him.Am looking forward meeting you all.

I could not reach you ever since.My mummy told me she was handling the transaction so I have to stay away unless I am called upon when my attention is needed.
My mum ask me to find out why she has not heard from you for days?I hope you are fine.

Please get back to me or get in touch with mummy.

Mohammed, my friend,
Long time no hear from you. Please excuse me for not writing sooner but I've been waiting for Olga, the East German massage therapist who works here at the hotel to return from Minsk. She's due back this afternoon.

More good news, Ms. Bushburn, my administrative assistant, left a message for me saying that she has finally sorted out the problem with the $2,000 that she sent to Zainab. She will be coming back with Olga this afternoon with the details and I will send the information on to you.

Mohammed, I was just thinking - since Olga has sent the 750 pounds to your mother, there's no further need for the $2,000 that was sent to Zainab. Is this correct?

Please let me know this afternoon. Lewd

Dear Lewis,
It is quite a long time actually.Mummy was worried, so she asked me to mail you to know how are things with you over there.I think she will be happy about this new development.I will alert her to check her mail later in the day for your mail.

Lewis, thank God Ms. Bushburn is finally back.What must have kept her so long? Hope she is fine and healthy.As a friend; about Zainab, I think she will appreciate If you send her the $2,000, am suggesting this because she has personally spent some money on this transaction.Less I forget, she complained to me that you have not be responding to her mails in a good manner.I asked her to keep calm, she will soon meet you in person when we come to Latvia.She is a nice girl you know and very intelligent.

As I earlier told you, she is my favourite in the family.I will be expecting your mail and I will inform mummy about the situation.

Thanks my Brother,

-MM


[As is so typical, life and work throw themselves in the path of our antiscamming. Mikhail and I decide it's time to terminate (with extreme prejudice, to quote Mikhail) the modalities...]

Dear Mariam, Brother Mohammed, annd Lovely Zainab,

Yes, that's right. All this time you thought you were dicking with us when all along it was YOU being dicked with. But we all had a lot of fun with this, didn't we? I know that Mikhail and I certainly did!

Listen, guys, like Mikhail told you, you're just not cut out for this. Millions of dollars stashed away, barristers, security companies. Gimme a break. You should know by now that nobody believes that crap anymore. Face it, the only people who respond to these 419 scams anymore are people like ourselves who just want to see how long they can keep you scammers dangling on the other end.

I wish I could recommend some sort of alternative employement for you guys but, gosh, from knowing you as well as I have over these past two months I just don't think any of you are bright enough to hold down any kind of honest job. I think maybe you should seriously consider Mikhail's suggestion. You know, the one about your wife and the village elders.

Ok, the best to all of you but we're done with you, so go away.

Lewd Noogie
Novosibirsk, Latvia ps - Zainab, my love, I'll miss you the most. You were the best, baby.

Do you know how stupid you have been? oh..You thought it was those Nigeria scammers who use my family name to defraud others.

Well, you got it all wrong.

You have just messed up a life opportunity of making $9,000,000.00 in one transaction.

My said fund is still very safe,...Thank God.
Bye


[Mariam needs a good dressing-down and a lesson in scammer ethics, but I like to leave everyone with a good feeling when modalities are finalized...]

Mariam, dear lady,
C'mon, Mariam (or whatever your name is), let's be real here. You know and I know that the Abacha estate's real address is some internet cafe there in downtown Lagos. You can drop the $9,000,000 crap now.

It was $9,000,000.00 -- Don't forget the zero cents!

You gotta admit this was fun. The thing that disappoints me is that you cut in on the first Mariam Abacha that I was dealing with. Is there no honor among you mugus? Once you realized that I was somebody else's mark you should have backed off. You didn't like it when that other Mallam Mohammed tried to take it over, did you? For shame, Mariam, for shame.

But I want to let you know there are no hard feelings from this end. Let's end this thing with a big group hug, as it would probably be my last opportunity to cop a feel off Zainab. Stay in touch, and if I can ever be of further assistance in moving metal trunk boxes full of cash (but designated as family treasures) out of Africa, don't hesitate to call on me.

The pleasure has been all mine.
Lewd

YOU STUPID 419 MUGU MORON

WHILST YOUR PATHETIC PERSISTENCE IS AMUSING I AM PLEASED TO REPORT THAT AFTER READING YOUR LATEST SEMI-LITERATE MISSIVE TO MY FRIENDS AND COLLEAUGES THERE WAS MUCH JEERING AMUSEMENT_HOWEVER THAT QUICKLY TURNED TO CONTEMPT WHEN WE REALISED HOW STUPID_GREEDY_AND UTTERLY REVOLTING YOU REALLY ARE_THAT YOU ARE CONVINCED OF THIS $9,000,000 SHOWS WHAT A DESPERATELY DELUDED DELINQUENT THE AVERAGE 419 SCAMMER IS_IT'S NOT AS IF YOU ARE ANY GOOD AT IT BUT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTEMPLATE THIS WHEN THE AUTHORITIES COME AFTER YOU_NOW GO AWAY AS WE HAVE MORE MUGUS TO ATTEND TO

S


And so ends another multi-million dollar transaction with the Abacha clan. A special thanks to Mikhail Stroganov of the Foreign Office, without whom these modalities would not have been 100% risk-free.
