RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Josephine Aku,

I have been thinking about your letter of yesterday, and today I see another from you. Are you certain that there is a fund in my name? I am curious that a fund exists, and that it belongs to me, as I wrote you yesterday I don't recall such a thing.

However, if such a fund is in your bank, and my name is attached, you have my go-ahead to release it to me, I can send you the particulars of my bank. How much money is in this fund, by the way? Several thousands of dollars, or just a few hundred?

Truly, Richard Lather

Attention Mr RichLather

I dont have much time to answer questions because i have a lot of work on my desk to be attended . However, your fund $30.5million , you are therefore advice to forward your banking particulars to this office where your fund will be transfered into. Secondly your direct telephone number and fax for easier communication.

Regards. Mrs Josephine Aku Director.



RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Josephine Aku,

Am I dreaming? Did you write $30.5 MILLION dollars? I can't believe it--it sounds too good to be true, but I know the money can't belong to me, I never had more than a few thousand dollars in the bank at one time, but as my old granddaddy used to say, "If somebody gives it to you, take it!".

And I know that Merrill Lynch, my banker, would probably have a heart attack if such an amount was transferred into my account!! Is there any way I could use another account in another bank? I can put a few hundred dollars into a new account in the next town, so that Mr. Lynch won't know about me having so much money all at once. It might take a few days to get it operable, but if it's possible, I'll get right on it.

Is this do-able?

By the way, I don't have a fax number, because I don't have a fax machine and the ISP doesn't use dial-up or fax. That's so 90's! I don't even have a regular phone, I do all my communication by e-mail or in person, so much easier, and cheaper in the long run!

Truly, Richard Lather

Your mail has been acknowledge and the contents were noted. I can see that you dont have phone number and i can not go ahead without phone, go ahead and obtaln one so that we can move forward. Secondly you are free to use any account or any bank of your choice.
Waiting for the bank particulars and the rest.
Regards.MRS JOSEPHINE AKU DIRECTOR.



RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Aku.

I'm going to the next town today to open a bank account there. When I went to my local bank, Mr. Merrill Lynch (I told you about him) questioned me about my withdrawal of $5,000, was I going to buy another car? I had to put him off, telling him that I was finally going to take a long-needed vacation, to Emerald City. That seemed to satisfy his curiosity. I would imagine that there is a degree of confidentiality to this transaction, is there not?

About the telephone. I'm afraid I have a small confession to make, I quit dealing with the telephone company last year. There was a very annoying disagreement with them, over the fact that I didn't feel they were providing the proper service for the money they charged. I vowed then and there, that I would NEVER again have anything to do with that band of scalawags! It is a matter of principle to me.

And don't suggest that I get a cell-phone. I won't have one. They cause brain tumors.

I'm sorry if this would ruin the deal, but I have to be true to myself, and my decisions. I'm sure you understand, being a woman and all. I appreciate your contacting me about this money, but if a telephone is necessary to the success of this transaction, even $30.5 million won't change my mind--I have my self-respect, you know!

As I told you before, there is no fax function provided by my ISP, and without a phone, the point is moot, anyway.

Truly, Richard Lather

I don't think that means the same as this:

The Secretary-General stressed that aid can help build a country's infrastructure while debt write-off can enable states to channel their funds into development projects. He noted that debt write-offs will help poor countries to a great degree, but there are still domestic debts they have to service to financial institutions, which they have to address bilaterally.

I wonder if you are trying to put one over on me? Besides, further you write:

RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Joy Ngale,

Mrs. Josephine Aku is the woman who contacted me a few weeks ago, with information regarding a fund in the bank that she works in, but I didn't remember it. So I wrote back to her, but she insisted that it exists. We have been in correspondence since late June, and when you took over the transaction, I just assumed you knew about her involvement. She directed me to a Mr. Paull Egobia of the Telex department. (I was under the impression that TELEX was obsolete, but then I remember that your country might not be as up-to-date as the rest of the world.

But, I am perplexed as to why you want me to change my e-mail address, why do you think that is necessary to complete this transaction. You write:

"...AA; You will be made know on the mode of operatus to follow as to avoid been tramp to the hands of criminals.

BB; The security operatives are now in motion to crack-down the activities of these neferious man in this country.

CC;Base way to beat them is to change your e=mail and this will make it easy for us to remite the fund without much hindrance from men of dollars hockers in the street of Nigeria.

DD;Your total co-operation towards transfering this fund is at the best interest and you are advice to follow my directives..."


I tell you, Madame, I don't know what you are talking about! What does this mean:

"...been tramp to the hands of criminals..."

"...hindrance from men of dollars hockers in the street of Nigeria..."


Then you send me yet another mail, with this gibberish:

YOU ARE NOTIFY FOR YOUR GOOD INTEREST TO DESIST FROM ANY CONTACT FROM WHOM SO-EVER PERSON BUT I WAS SURPRISE TO RECEIVE A MAIL FROM PEOPLE THREADING TO ELIMIATE MY LIFE THAT YOU SEND THEM A MAIL I SEND TO YOU. CC;WHY CAN YOU DO THAT WHEN I WANTED TO DELIEVER YOU FROM THE HAND OF CRIMINALS.

If your life is in danger, call the police, that is what they are there for!!

I INSTRUCTED YOU TO CHANGE YOUR E-MAIL AS A WAY TO AVOID THESE CRIMINALS AND I ADVICES YOU FOR YOUR GOOD INTERES WITHOUT KNOWING THAT YOU ARE A CHIP PERSON .

What is a "chip person"? What in the world are you referring to? Are you drinking on your job? I hope your superior doesn't find out that little habit of yours, as you will find yourself out on the street without employment!! I sure know first-hand about THAT!

"...ANY OTHER MAILS I RECEIVE FROM THESE CRIMINALS WILL LEAD TO CANCELATION OF THIS FUND..."

Does this mean that our deal is in jeopardy? Maybe we should just forget about the whole thing.

RICH LATHER

Mrs. Ngale,

How is it, that I received a mail from Mrs. Aku just yesterday, 8August? You said she was sacked from her job. That would mean that she is trying to keep her end of the deal going. She even gave me an attorney to contact:

His name is Barrister James Patrick,his e=mail is barristerjamesp@yahoo.com

If she attempts to reach me again, I will ignore her mail. Should I forward it to you, and perhaps you can give it to the proper authorities?

This is beginning to turn into a dangerous situation. I'm not sure I should be involved with it.

Rich Lather

Keeping Mrs. Ngale up-to-the-minute...

RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Ngale,

I contacted the attorney you mentioned, Barrister Kingsley Oyenagbade, and I have provided him with my pertinent information. He said something about sending some fees for the initiation of the paperwork, but neglected to give a recipient. He must be a very busy man, for this to slip his mind. I'm sure he will realize his mistake, and correct it soon.

I haven't heard a thing from Mrs. Josephine Aku, but I will forward to you any messages I get from her. Likewise the false attorney, Patrick James (sounds like an alias anyway, don't you think?)

The information you sent have been received and it is receiving official attention.

I want you to contact the director of Foreing Operations, Dr. John Abu on 234-8033848395. His email is jd_abu50@yahoo.com He does not know the interest of Dr Mrs A. Iweala. After this transfer, Dr. Mrs. A. Iweala has access to other deals . I as her lawyer will also tell you how to go about them. That is after this.The transfer process of this $25Million has been under the control of Dr. John Abu. I will be giving you descrete advise immediately he responds. Your personal details and account are with him.

Please keep this deal top secret until after the transfer is effected because my client, Mrs. Iweala is still in sevice.

Keep me informed after contacting him. Feel free. Just introduce your self. Tell him you have $25Million under his custody to be transfered. Whatever he says, you get back to me immediately.

Regards, Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade

Sir:

Do you mean to say that you are trying to take over this deal, and cut Mrs. Iweala out the the picture? That's sure what it sounds like to me. I suppose Mrs. Ngale will be out, too, after all the effort she has put into the matter.

What kind of heartless bloodsucker are you? I'm quite sure that if I am to stomach all this, I will be entitled to a bigger cut of the pie. I want 50%. Period. No arguments, no negotiations. 50%!!!

Mrs. Ngale,

Thank you for letting me know about this AKU woman, she sounded kind of 'shady' from the first. If someone is using her name to break the law, she will be a long time explaining her way out of trouble! If she is the one who is breaking the law, she will be a long time in prison!

I have had some trouble understanding your mails. It seems that your letters get more and more unintelligible, your spelling and use of grammar is appalling! I'm surprized that Mrs. Iweala hasn't given YOU the sack, or at least, sent you back to school!

Tell me, my dear, are you drinking on your job? I would seek help for your problem, before it's too late!

What in the world does THIS gibberish mean?

BB; I also instructed him to make sure that this documents reach to the Foreign Payment Officer before Tuesday to effect the transfer. CC; But i did not instruct him to tell you to contact the Payment Officer yet.I was not happy to read his mail regarding the Payment Officer yet because i want the documents ready so that immediately I approved it ,them you will contact him for Transfer.

Who is SAM TOMER, what is his crime and why is he booked for execution? Where is WEAT Africa?

I have a HUGE problem with your "sharing ratio" The money in the account is supposedly MINE! Why are YOU trying to steal MY money, and "give" me this small percentage? THIS IS MY MONEY! I don't mind paying fees to reclaim what your bank said is MY MONEY, but when you want to take most of it, I am enraged!!

And, what expenses could possibly occur, that would cost 15% of MY MONEY???????????

Mrs. Aku,

I was advised to never communicate with you, apparently you are under investigation by some financial fraud unit of the government.

Your lawyer, Patrick James, is not even accredited, according to these people (Mrs. Joy Ngale, who is Secretary to a Mrs. Dr. Ngozi Iweala, and their lawyer, Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade, and Chairman Chief Nuhu Ribadu of EFCC).

Personally, I think both Mrs. Ngale and Barrister Onyenagbade drink on the job, because their mails are not much more than silly prattling, full of nonsense and misspelled words.

Actually, yours are not much better--I would almost think that one person is pretending to be all four people who have contacted me regarding this matter.

THE WORD GIBBERISH MEANS NONSENSE! Which is exactly what is in your mail. I don't understand what you mean, and I think I was right the first time. You are a drunkard, and you should seek treatment for this appalling character flaw! You have no business being in a position of responsibility. You are either drunk, or just stupid.

Mrs. Iweala should fireYOUR stupid self, you drunkard!!!!

What on Earth does IYOTAL mean? Is it a tribal word, from your primitive 3rd-world country?

I have an excellent command of the English language, and there is NO word like that in English.

I am beginning to lose patience with you and all these others who are in a transaction that is supposed to be confidential!

I was told that this thing should not take any more than a few days, and already it is 7 weeks!

I sincerely hope that we are nearing the end of this business. I have better things to do with my time, than to deal with a bunch of slanderous, back-biting people who can't even spell the simplest words!

When you get to your "Hight Court", will you check the spelling? I've never heard of a "Hight Court", I have heard of "High Court". Curious that Mrs. Joy Ngale and you both use that strange spelling. Did you go to school together? Or maybe you enjoy several cocktails together during the workday.

Let's get this business going, man. Mrs. Josephine AKU has contacted me again, and tells me that YOU are a bunch of imposters.

What's going on?

Mrs. Aku,

This is the main point of the message I received yesterday, from Mrs. Joy Ngale:

"...AA;; This is let you know that,Mrs Aku has confers that she is not the one ,that people are using her name in doing so,that since she leaft office she has not contacted any-person.

She asserts that you are the imposter, and that you and your attorney, Patrick James, are in hiding from the authorities.

As an aside, you included your picture, and I must convey my disappointment. When I first saw your name, I assumed that you are African, but I see that you are not. Are you married to an African man, hence the surname? I noticed that you use many phrases that are not in familiar English, so I thought you would be an African beauty.

I must confess, I have always admired the ebony beauty of the African women, they put the pasty, pale-pinkness of the European women to a tiny comparison. I am disappointed that you are not of African descent.

You have shattered my fantasies, Madame, I had amused myself with thoughts of the "delights of the flesh" with a lusty and energetic African woman.

RICH LATHER

Dear Dr. Mrs. Iweala,

I cannot decipher what you are trying to convey. You say:

"...YOURMAIL YOU SENT TO MRS AKOVI WAS UN-MINE..."

Who is Mrs. AKOVI? She is casting some sort of spell on you from India, that makes you unintelligible, because you repot her? What nonsense is this?

Are you drinking on the job, too? Am I dealing with a bunch of drunkards? I am having SERIOUS doubts in your ability to carry this transaction through to closure.

It is a Mrs. AKU who is the person involved. She is the person who initially contacted me that I have some $30.5millions of dollars in some long-forgotten account--I most certainly would have remembered such a sum, so I thought she was mistaken. But she seemed so sure of it, and insisted the money was there.

Then, all of a sudden, I started getting mails from your secretary, Mrs. Joy Ngale, saying that You, Dr. Iweala, are the individual in charge of the fund, not Mrs. AKU.

How do you know that I am in contact with Mrs. AKU? Don't try to tell me that you have e-mail spies in your country--I would have difficulty believing that, since you are still using the very VERY primitive "Telex" system!

Besides, SHE tells me that YOU are the fraudster, along with your Barrister Kinglsey Onyenagbade, and you will try to dupe me.

Whom to believe???

Dear Mr. Rich Lather,

I have received the Accptance Letter from Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade. It is being processed.

After the processing, you will follow this up with the requisite payment, then the fund will be transfrered through the TT transfer format to your nominated account.

Method of the payment for the Acceptance Letter will be forwarded to you as well.

Yours Faithfully,

John Abu



RICH LATHER

John Abu,

I was waiting to hear from you, Onyenagbade wrote me LAST WEDNESDAY that you would contact me, and I assumed it would be promptly, but perhaps you had other things to do, that you thought were more important.

I understand that you have all the pertinent information relating to my account, so I will give the go-ahead to transfer the money.

I have had several messages from Mrs. Joy Ngale, who is secretary to Hon. Minister Her Excellency, Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Iweala, warning me to be wary of a Mrs. Josephine AKU, and when I first received your mail, I thought you might be one of her minions, seeking to rob me. That accounts for my delay in replying to you. I had to check you out.

Richard Lather



Saturday morning, I get a jolt, but I think it's a NEW scam--or is it the SAME scam? I am told by "each one" not to trust the "other one". We should keep in mind that most of the mail from Mrs. Aku that I got was sent from the SAME 'puter that Mrs. Dr. Iweala uses!

The Security Aparatus put in places to checkmate the Activities of these Criminals and also to detect any out-going and in-going calls/mails and other Electronic medias, That is why EFCC and SSS,IMT,DMI are put in place.

I dont have much time to answer questions because i have a lot of work on my desk to be attended . However, your fund $30.5million , you are therefore advice to forward your banking particulars to this office where your fund will be transfered into. Secondly your direct telephone number and fax for easier communication.

Now that you say the fund is only $25 million, do you think she has appropriated $5.5 million to her own use?

Mr RichLather;;

Your mail was noted & the content acknowledge.'

As i have told you,that your Contract Sum is [TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS ONLY] and NO minus,NO pluis.

NOTE that ,you did not operate any Account in any Nigeria bank,Even in CBN,Then how can such be Inflated.

Nevertheless,Even you operate an Account here and you did not instruct to transfer your fund to it,then you will not expect any interest of what so-ever.

Moreover,Mrs Aku can not Appropriated any thing but rather she want to use such figure to attract your attention and by the magin,such is amount is too big and you will dance on her tune and at the end ,you will be dancing different type of music.

The Figure I approved for This years Settlement for Contractors,Both Local & Foreigh is US$18.9B.

You should have now understand her,that has been her mode of attracting and the same time de-fraud some contractors and what lead to her dismiser was the case of Local Contract and since then,She has battleing with one problem to another.

Can your fund be inflated to such amount by what means,interest rate or by long-processing it make it to be inflated or appropriated to such,?

The Question now is,Who inflated it/Appropriated it.She is not the CBN Governor and infact just a departemental director and now [DIS-MISS]

Answer is that ,your Sum in Question is US$25.MILLION,

Warning,you should desist & also avoid been trap by Mrs Aku,she is a confusionist,a tropical criminal.

Conclusion,Your Fund still Remain US425M,Any thing above this is Criminal and you can not receive it.it has been her way of de-frauding people mainly,Local Contractors and now that she is out of Service,She wanted to apply it to Foreigh Contractors.

Regards Dr

Dear Mrs. Dr. Iweala,

Please write again when you sober up. I can't figure out what you mean. Mrs. AKU said I have an account in CBN, and it was worth $30.5 MILLION DOLLARS!

I told you yesterday that your lawyer is expected to come to my office to collect the document today. He should dispatch it to you as he receives it today. I told you you are expected to sign, forward the pre-wire payment before Friday, August 19, 2005. If you receive the document today, sign, make the payment of the pre-wire fee today, then, withing 48 hours, your credit of $25Million will be in your account .

Whether what any body says makes sense to you or not should not be important to you , what is interest you is for you to receive your credit, pronto..

Yours Faithfully, John Abu



RICH LATHER

Dear John Abu,

Mrs. Ngozi Iweala told me that my payment was $425 Million dollars. Now you say only $25 Million. What happened to the other $400 Million dollars?

I must say, I'm more inclined to believe her words (even though she apparently drinks on the job) as she is the Director of the Ministry of Finance, and has even hinted that she and I could form a "partnership" of our own with this money.

Also, you write:

"...Whether what any body says makes sense to you or not should not be important to you..."

I ask you, Sir, why it be unimportant to me, if what somebody says doesn't make sense? Should I just blindly go along with him down a primrose path, and hope for the best?

I guarantee you, Abu, that I am not so foolish, and you probably are not, either. Or are you? Do you just swallow whatever line someone says, because greed has clouded your eyes?

Dear Usman Shamsudeem,

I assume from your title that you are working with Mrs. Josephine AKU, who contacted me in late June regarding this matter. She said there was an account in CBN that belongs to me.

Mrs. AKU said that the account was worth $30.5 Million dollars, then she said it was $25 Million dollars.

Then another woman stepped in, a Ministry of Finance director, a Mrs. Dr. Ngozi Iweala, who told me that the fund was $425 Million dollars! As you can probably guess, this information just stuns me!

Is it possible that you can clear this up for me? I am ready to wire the transfer fees to your man Anthony Ejime, but if I am to receive $425 Million dollars into my bank account, I'd better warn my personal banker in my new bank about the size of this account. He may have a heart-failure, and I wouldn't want that on my conscience. You understand, I'm sure.

ATTENTION MR RICH LATHER;

FROM DR MRS NGOZI IWEALA

COMPLIMENT OF THR DAY;

Your mil was received and the contents well understood.

Should i make one point, Catigorically to you,you are trading with Fraud-sters;And that is why you cannot receive your Contract Payment.

The fact remains that your Contract Payment is US425M and not US$30.5M as you are claiming.This is exactly where you have problem.It is the Fraud-sters who are trading with that inflated your Payment in other to collect your Hard Earned Dollars from you,and after which you will end up seeing nothing but lost.why because they don't have access to Government Tressury and can not do anything to effect your Payment or help you in any way.

A lot of advert placements have been made through Medis huses,Radio and Television and CNN concerning their activities,yet you owe atill ignorant.

I will also like to te;; you that you did not do any Contract here in Nigeria and that you have not never been to Nigeria all your Life.Niether do you know the site where the Contract you claiming was Executed.

I know the Source of the Money you are claiming more that you do.But,that not withstanding.Nigeria is a Corrupt Nation where anything goes if you are smart.

I am in position to transfer this money into your Account with Conditions.

If you go further to pay any money to anybody in Nigeria,you doomed because you will end up being Swindled.

Therefor,If you real do need this money,get back to me and lets strike a deal,you will smile. It is a ball game and the ball is on your court.

One more fact,I am the initiator f this deal.Due to my Position as a Public Officer,I contacted Mrs Aku who is a Retired Government Official to get a Foreigh Partner who this Money will be transfered to his Account.

She was dismissed from Office due to her Fraudlent Activities.And she has been exibiting that in my dealing with her,that is why I decided to do away with her.

I am warning you to desist from any dealing with her in respect of this Transaction because I am still in Position to Manupulate the whole thing,or else i will path ways with you and look for another Person who wll listen to my Instructions.

If you are Satisfied get back to me for I am waiting to read from you.

Question
Did you operate an Account with CBN?,Which Name and Account Number?

That is a fraudulent Statement from her and you will know whom she is by now.

Dr Ngozi Iweala.

GET BACK TO ME IF;



RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs Ngozi Iweala,

On 29 June, I received a mail from Mrs. Josephine AKU:

Honorable Contractor,(

Your file just pass to my office this week I decided to contact you as the owner of the fund now your money is now with CBN, I notice that you have deal with a lot of imposters, desist from them if you are ready to get your contract fund. Anybody that sent you and email or call you do not listen to them they are fraudster, I notice it has been a long time you have been pushing this your contract fund.

Now I am the person in charge to pay your money don't make any payment to anybody unless you want them to dupe you. Your contract fund is with CBN . Now I need your banking information and your phone and fax number. Try and forward all the document you have receive before to enable me know where to start with you. I want everything to end up by next month . ,

You are a very luck contractor; but co operate with me, I must make sure you receive this money in any account you want it to be.

Thanks

She says to desist from any contact with anybody but her, and you tell me the same thing, and stay away from her! Whom to believe??

Then you say you will "do away with her"--that means you are going to kill her? That sounds dangerous--I wonder if I should just bow away from this deal, and forget I ever heard of all of you!

A calamity...


RICH LATHER

To all business associates,

I have been at my mother's hospital bedside for the past 4 days. She suffered serious injuries several days ago, when she was at the manicurist's salon. As it was told to me, she was sitting in front of the nail-salon's front window having her fingernails polished, when the calm was shattered by the squeal of truck tires on the street.

It seems that the driver, a Mr. Salvatore Monella (a well-known local hog farmer) was taking a dozen or so hogs to the nearby butcher, when a woman pushing a "WienieWagon" suddenly stepped in front of the truck. To avoid hitting her, Sal swerved the truck, and pigs went flying! Unfortunately, one of them crashed through the front window of the nail-salon, and landed on Mother.

She was taken to the hospital, and has lain in coma since the incident. The doctors do not expect that she will live, even though she was a very spry lady, she is 88 years old, and as her injuries are very many, it does not look good for her.

I haven't been able to write to you and your associates, but I will copy this to all of them.

I did hear from the AKU woman again, she has again told me that YOU are the crook. In the meantime, I have a mail from John Abu, and he tells me that I am in peril of losing this deal. What's going on? He writes:

"...Mr. Rich Lather/ Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade,

Subject: 24 HOURS NOTICE

We have done our duty as statutorily mandated to so do, if by close of work tomorrow ...yadda yadda...order shall be enforced irreversibly.

Mr. Rich,

I don't understand your standing in this matter. If at the end of the day your fund transferprocess is revoked, you have yourself to blame. Mr. John Abu is the Director of Foreign Operations of the Central Bank. He has the final say in the release of your fund and that of others in Category "A" Payment Schedule".

I have given you the particulars for the western union payment you are to make. That is you pay through my name. If you are ready, pay in through the details I gave you so that I do the professional push from here. In the banking system here, they have a time table and I know that the time table "Shedule" for your fund transfer is within this time.

The ball is in your cour, Mr. Richard Lather.

Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade



RICH LATHER

Onyenagbade:

Too bad that my Mother's misfortune has interrupted your schedule, you heartless money-grubber!

Have you no compassion for someone's MOTHER??? You must not have enjoyed a mother's love, perhaps your own mother was a drunkard like you, and the only relationship you had with her was to drag her sodden self out of the local gin-mill before she started prostituting herself to get money to drink!

Well, I assure you, not everyone has a mother like yours, and the rest of us love and revere our mothers. We do not appreciate such a callous, self-serving attitude from a lackey like yourself.

I am quite certain that I will re-think my opinion of you, and I will certainly be happy if you are replaced as "co-ordinator" of this deal.

Rich Lather



RICH LATHER

Mrs. Dr. Iweala,

Thank you for your kind words for Mother, but I must correct your impression that she is sick--she is NOT sick, a pig fell on her! That is not "sick", that is a terrible accident!

This is the mail I just sent to Onyenagbade:


Too bad that my Mother's misfortune...yadda (same letter)yadda...you are replaced as co-ordinator of this deal.
Rich Lather


I think you should replace him, he has no heart, only a cash register where his heart should be. He is probably the spawn of some bar-hopping harlot who did not teach him the faintest bit of compassion! Any help you can render in getting rid of him, I would greatly appreciate.

Thank you, Richard Lather

Dear Sir.

Thanks for your mail. All your mail was understood.you should stop contacting the persons mail you forwarfed to me no body like that is one person that doing all this things to me.

However, you should remember how you started i dont see the reason why you can not beleive on me, now extend my greetings to your mum. I like to tell you know that your fund will be paying to you in london that is w

Mrs here our offshore center is. but i will like to hear from you next. I wait for your quick responds.. Nothing like abu in this transaction is an impotors.

Regards, Mrs Josephine Aku.



RICH LATHER

Mrs. Aku,

I do not understand what is going on. I have been in such a state since Mother's terrible accident, and now all this confusing information!

First, you contact me, then Mrs. Joy Ngale, then Kingsley Onyenagbade, then John Abu, then Ngozi Iweala, then somone name of Ribadu, then Usman Shamsudeen.

Almost everyone says you are a fraudster, Mrs Ngozi Iweala says that you are a corrupt and dishonest gangster already in jail, and she will "do away with you", which means that your life is in great danger.

By the way, you first told me the amount $42.5 Million dollars, then $25 Million, now Mrs. Iweala says $425 Million. That is quite a difference, which makes me think that the money never existed in the first place!

I do not know who to believe, and I think I will excuse myself from this transaction. Do what you will with the money.

Now, I must go to Mother's hospital bedside.

Good bye.

Dear Rich,

It has not been easy to get a replacement for him. That was why you have not heard from me since I got your last mail. I have deligently secured a trustworthy attorney as replacement. I have informed Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade that I have contacted a new attorney and that he should withdraw his service. He has accepted by request.

The name of the new lawyer is Mr. James Otuka. He knows all the terrain in the official circle. I did some inducements before he accepted to work for us because he is a highly sought-after lawyer. He has little to do. Just to finalise the work of Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade.

Just keep your cool. I regret introducing such a fellow to you. All of us are humans, we have blood in our veins and we are born by women. As a woman, I was personally disappointed by the uncompassionate position of Barrister Onyenagbade. Don't wory, mama will be ok. I never stopped praying for her since I got your mail. I hope to meet with her at the successful end of the deal with the partnership of her loving son Rich Lather.

For Mr. John Abu, keep your cool because we have got what we wanted from him. So, your communication with him is just formal. You can contact Barrister James Otuka on j_otuka@lawyer.com Since the major work has been done and as someone who is familiar with the work on hand, we are there dear.

Regards, Dr. Ngozi Iweala

Dear Sir,

My name is James Made Otuka. I am a lawyer of 17 years standing. I have been briefed by my client, Mrs. Ngozi Iweala, the Honourable Minister of Finance about the subject matter of your transaction.

Also, I have received legal transfer/hand over from my colleague, Barrister Kingsley Onyenagbade. I have forwarded the forwarding claims to the Central Bank and I have been allowed to work up your transfer.

Best personal Regards, J.M.Otuka


Let's make up an excuse for not writing for a few weeks...


RICH LATHER

Mr Otuka,

I have been out of my area for a time, aiding victims of the hurricane which devastated a large part of our coastal area. I have just returned to my home for a much-needed rest, the disaster involved a tremendous amount of work and relief effort.

I want to know if this transaction is still viable, and what must be done to finalize.

Waiting your response.

Your payment process is still valid under my supretendence. Almost everything has been done by your previous lawyer.

What remains now is for you to pay Acceptance Fee of $1,450 + $600 through Western Union Money Transfer in my name given below: That means the total amount payable by you is Two Thousand, Fifty United States Dollars payable through my name. That is; Joseph Otuka, 7, Dada Street, Satellite Town, Lagos Nigeria. As soon as I receive the payment information within 48 hours, I will pay it into the Central Bank Treasury as required, then, I will be issued with clearance certificate which will effect authomatic transfer of your $425Million into your account.

Please accept my symparthy for the disaster that befall your country recently.

Mr. Rich Lather,

When I tried to open my official email box of j_otuka@lawyer.com after the court session today and it was not possible , I sensed that probably an infilterator had illegall accessed my email signature and wrongly blocked it because I used public computer system. I then used the email box signature of my junior lawyer who is also a church minister to send the mail to you in time to avoid any misinformation and because of the urgency of the subject matter.

I just contacted my computer engineer who actually unlocked the system. So, no qualms, order is restored. No infilterator. Please get back to my email box you know. That is J_otuka@lawyer.com

I waite for your response. Jseph Otuka, Attorney At Law



RICH LATHER

Okuta:

I still have a few doubts about the explanation you provided, but I will comply with your required payment. I called the Western Union office, and found that they have closed for the day.

I will have to attend to this matter tomorrow morning, before I begin my day.

Please excuse me that I could not reply to your letter since the weekend. I have been engaged with official matters.

Thank God that the hurricane disaster is getting under control and President Bush has seen the need for government intervention.

The lawyer told me yesterday that he was in touch with you and that he has given you advice on what remains to be done. He said as he gets details of the payment by you today, he will make the payment to the Central Bank tomorrow, Within 72 hours of making the payment to the Central Bank, the transfer will be effected.

How is your mother now? I lead her in prayers here.

RICH LATHER

Dear Mrs. Dr. Ngozi Iweala,

A few months ago, I was contacted by Mrs. Josephine AKU, proposing a business arrangement. Some weeks later, I was contacted by you, proposing the SAME business arrangement. You told me to have nothing to do with Mrs. AKU, and she told me to have nothing to do with YOU.

I sent Mrs. AKU this mail:

Mrs. Aku,

I do not understand what is going on. I have been in such a state since Mother's terrible accident, and now all this confusing information!

First, you contact me, then Mrs. Joy Ngale, then Kingsley Onyenagbade, then John Abu, then Dr. Mrs. Ngozi Iweala, then somone name of Ribadu, then Usman Shamsudeen, then J.M. Okuta.

By the way, you first told me the amount $42.5 Million dollars, then $25 Million, now Mrs. Dr. Iweala says $425 Million. That is quite a difference, which makes me think that the money never existed in the first place!

RICH LATHER

Dr. Mrs. Iweala, I am becoming very upset with all the back-stabbing, and personal insults with which you are slandering each other!

As I wrote to Mrs. AKU, do what you will with the "money" (which I don't for a MINUTE believe ever existed in the first place!)

I know you are a 419-conman and fraudster, I know how you and your buddies operate, I answer ALL your invitations to join your imaginary "deals ofthe century", and then I make up a name, and pretend to be an innocent American sucker who can be conned into sending you money! I have been fooling you guys for years, and you guys always believe the lies I tell you. How stupid is THAT???

I was just fooling you. Now you know that I've been fooling you, and if you listen very hard, you can hear me laughing at you, you FOOL!

Rich Lather

P.S. That's not my real name, I'm not a man, my mother was not hit by a flying pig, and I'm not sending you any money! I AM an American, but I am no sucker!

I'll probably be contacted by you again, but "somebody else" will be replying to your fraudulent scheme. (That's the fun of it--I'll use another name, and you won't know it's me!)
