KÄRÄOKE FÜR FÜHRER UND VOLK


Harold Stassen is back! Harold was last seen in SPANDAU BALLET.

Good evening.
...This one involves a woman with "Cancer of the Pelvics" who is looking for a worthy cause to donate to before she dies.
I noticed a change in voice from "Marria" about half way through the correspondence - notice how the salutation goes from "Dear Harold Stassen" to "Dear," and "Dears," with no name following, and it seems the latter mails are pushing harder. Maybe it's nothing, maybe Harold got handed off to a more experienced scammer.
I had fun with these folks, but think I got a little greedy - I SO wanted to get a photo of them holding my "Kriegslieder Karaoke Kompetition" poster that I blew it at the end. Well, maybe I'll get my souvenir next time out.
Take care,
"Harold"

The Scammers:
Marria Kuba - Dying altruistic cancer patient
MR.HENRY KOROMA - Foreign Operation Department, Ets Danhoun Securities & Fils
versus
Harold Stassen - Retired (and deaf) Wehrmacht officer
[The real Harold Stassen was an American politician and perennial presidential hopeful.
He left his job as a district attorney to serve in the US Navy during World War II.]

Dearest Friend, PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND GET BACK TO ME.;
I crave your indulgence at this mail coming from somebody you have not know before. I decided to do this after praying over the situation. You should please consider the transaction on its content and not the fact that you have not known me before. I need not dwell on how I came by your contact information because there are many such possibilities these days.

I would like to introduce myself as Mrs. Marria Kuba, of Repulic of Benin, widow to Late Mr.Sheik Kuba (for Consular of the benin embassy in Madrid,Spain.I have been recently been daigonosed of Cancer of the Pelvics. I am writing from my sick bed in a CHINESE HOSPITAL here in Benin Republic. There is this consignment (containg US$29.5Million cash, in US$100 bills) my husband deposited with a security company, here in Cotonou,Republic of Benin of which I am the next of kin. With my health condition and because my husb and and I have no child I am looking for a credible person to whom I will pass the right of next of kin. This person will apply to the company and request, from them, the procedure towards retrieving the consignment from them.This is on the condition that you will take 25% of the fund for yourself, 5% used for expenses, while you will use the remaining 70% for the less previlege people in the society. This is in fulfilment of the last request of my husband: that a substantial part of the fund be used to carter for the less previleged.

If this condition is acceptable to you, you should contact me immediately with your full names and contact information so that I will send you all the documents that the company gave to my husband when the consignment was deposited. So that you will contact the company directly, and demand from them the procedure towards retrieving the consignment from their company.I cannot predict what will be my fate by the time you wll r ecieve the fund, but you should please ensure that the fund is used as i have described above. I look forward to your response to this Email kubamrsmarria04@yahoo.com

Best Regards
Mrs. Marria Kuba

Mrs Kuba,

I am in sympathizing with you - pelvics is tough. Many of my former kameraden have living in hard times because our former employer, the Third Reich, has gone out of busniess, taking with it our Wehrmacht pensions and the like. Only those like Goerring who were able to stash away some of those richness of country we occupy have ease. It is this fund I wish to establishment - for officers as me who have servered the Vaterland goodly, yet are in dire povertiness now.

If this is agreement to you, please write.

Miss Kuba,

How pleasantry it is to have your mail. I am hoping all is well you, as well as can be anyway.

I have not writ because I have been pondering and pondering your offer - I would like to do if you would too. So much I can do for our retired Wehrmacht officers - many have no fundings and live by doing things. With many of them I spoke and would say "If you could have a retirement place for us, where would you like haveing it?" and it is funny - you may laugh - but the answerings is so diffenential! Those who had in Russia been will say me "Anyplace warm!" and those from the Afrika Corps will say me "Anyplace cold!" while those from France and Holland will say "Dijon!" So all will be happy, I have seen a spot, Joplin, Missouri, which fulfills much of they needs. With your kind help and blessings I will like to be building the "Mrs. Marria Kuba Haus fur die Wehrmachter" - a place where old kameraden can be with other old kameraden and do things. My dream, and maybe you too?

I have below given my informations - if more is needed by you, you write me.

Write me soon,

Mrs,

Below is what the company has sent - I wrote back.

This may be all for nothing - for last night we met to talk of our new retirement home and would you know? All disagreement, especially between those who had been soldiers in the East and those in Afrika. These from the East say we want to be where the weather is warm because in Russia it had got so cold we could not even play our favorite soldier game "I Got Your Nose" ["Ich Habe Deinen Nase"] because when we would pull our hands away, we HAD their noses because the extremity of cold made noses so brittle. And those from Afrika say they want coolness because the heat makes Nords sweat like swine and burns the skin and gives nasal diptheria like Rommel had!

So much fighting I feel maybe you would be better giving your generosity to those who can do as you wish without making troubles with their friends.

Please advise to me.

Yours,
H. S.

Mrs Marria,

I hope you are feeling today. You have send me the attorney thing and I am thinking maybe you should rethink of me. Members of the group for which I wants the moneys are fighting over the simpler of thing! Some do not wish to go to Joplin because it was a house of womens, Sisters of the Order of Saint Beryl - the Leaping Beryllians as they call theyselves - and the space is commodious yet the commodes are atrocious - they say there are no men's standing urinating porcelains and want nothing of that. Some say if we go for Missouree we must look at Branson so there will be thing to do when we tire of remembering with each other. Other persons say the south of Frankreich for it is nice, but the maquis still look for some of us. Others go on and on. I will not continue to waste you time with the whole megillah, but Wehrmacht officers should not fight!

Before you die, please make a reconsider of the peoples you want for money. Better perhaps are those who will do Christly things like having orphanages and bingo parlors, is this not true?

I wait to hear of you.

Yours,

Mrs Marria,

I know I am keeping peoples waiting, but this is big business and must be planned with likeness to military attacks, see?

My fellow retired Wehrmacht officers meet me last night and we have talks again. I again say of importance for Joplin, Missouri, and some agree and some want Branson, Missouri. To make closure, several of us will visit to both places this weekend. Emil Maurice will drive us for he has much experience. I am hoping our bickerings can end for this journey.

When I say of your anonymous gift proposal, some are very happy, but Herr Diebardt is a barrister in the US and had been a very clever one in Germany. [It was he who designed the "I Had Checks" defense at Nuremberg for many of us, so he is much respected.] He sees the picture of money and other document, but he says "Who is she? She has millions of dollars and does not have one thousand? This is seeming bogus. People in Chinese hospitals do not have this kind of money to give away - and the last time I was treated in a Chinese hospital I was sick all over again an hour later. Get photographs of her, and make sure it is her." So I must ask for you to send some kinds of proofs for his satisfactoriness, is good?

I arrive back home on Monday and will look for the proofs then.

Please contact the company and ask them, how to send the money to them so that they will approve you, Please if i have money, i will ask you to pay but because i do not have money again, I am just waiting for my death. that why I ask you to take the money and share to the poor and needies.
Please open the attachment to see the two document which my late husband used to deposit the consignment containing the funds,, The certificate of deposit and the contract aggreement.
N/B. Please handle this documents with great care, Even another person who have this document can claim the consignment, even the lawyer do not have this, I am sending it to you because i have decided that you shall be my beneficiary and share the fund to the less previllaged, so do not expose this document for the security of the fund consignment.
Bless you as I wait to hear that you have send the money to the company so that they will approve you.

Mrs Marria,

I have sorrow for taking so long to return you excellent writing to me - we spend a long weekend in Missouri, and especially Branson where we decide to locate the Wehrmacht Officers Retirement Mansion - nice place to live, high on a hill near river so our flank is covered from attacks on the east, and close to where Yakov Schmirnoff and Andy Williams perform, not to mention the beautiful girls who make one excited without relying on weiner pills.

As for our business, it disappoints to me that you understand not the need to confide in my comerad Wilhelm. He is the only fine barrister I know in my life, and I have known many. He is Treasurer of our Wehrmacht Officer Retirement Mansion Society and is needed for delivering moneys for our cause. I will send this mail to him also and he has questions of you and will ask them. I am the person to decide where checks are to be writed to, but he does the writing. This is part of the division of power and checks and balances we incorporate into our society in honor of those in the Dritte Reich which we so proud served.

Thank you, Harold.

Mrs. Kuba,

I am sure you can understand our reticence in this transaction. You have supplied a picture and documents, agreed, but the Internet if full of documents and pictures - one can easily be fooled. Not to cast aspersions on your character, but one must be cautious. You may not be aware of it, but once Harold decided to go on television himself with an item he called the "Handy Housewife Helper" - he was sure it would make a fortune, and it might have if he'd been a bit more cautious - as it was, he lost a bundle, and I have no desire to repeat this fiasco with the funds of the Wehrmacht Officers Retirement Mansion Society.

Please, even if from your hospital bed, endeavour to supply us with an unimpeachable form of identification, and include your devotion to our worthy cause.
Once satisfied, any fees you wish will be no object.

Awaiting your reply eagerly,

Please did you contact the security company and send them the amount $1000 to make the change of beneficiary to your favour, after that, them you have full right over the fund consignment. Ok contact the lawyer Barrister Smith Brown and ask him how and where to send him the money $1000 so that he take it to the company for the approval fees to confirm you my rightful beneficiary.

Dear Lady,
Forgive an old man, but it is by caution that one succeeds. I realize your time is limited, is not everybody's? However, a visit is tragically out of the question.
My friend Harold has foolishly (yes, "Foolishly" Harold) sent a photo which should not have been shared for reasons that he and I are well aware of. Please destroy it when you can - it does neither of us any good.
But it DOES give me an idea - the poster in the background is known to only a few of us, and your use of it in a photograph of either yourself or your barrister friend will convince me beyond the shadow of a doubt that you are indeed who you say you are. Strange as it seems, we will require you or your designate to pose with the attached poster and send it to us, and please be sure to make it visible and prominent in the photo.
I have attached the poster, designed by our own Herr Stassen - please get back to me when you have our evidence, then we shall continue our correspondence and discuss the transfer of funds.

Dear,
My situation can not allow me take picture now, I had to invite the lawyer to do it, the lawyer told me that he can not understand what you want.

Then the lawyer advise that he shall do what soever you want him to do for my sake, now the lawyer want you to use my picture which i sent to your friend Harold, and pose with my picture so that he will understand you well and follow what he saw you do with my picture.

I have send by attachement 3 pictures of me and the community when I was sharing my first $5 million in my country to less privilledged through their king.

You will also see me in the picture with the King of Portnovo -Kingdom, So now do it fast, i mean take a pose with one of my pictures attached , which i am sending now again, print the picture out and pose with it, it must be visible, i think you know? so that the lawyer will know hoe to pose with the picture you send us. Thanks and bless you,
Marria

Nice photographs, Mrs. Kuba. Since you are asking us for our funds, I must insist on a photo with our photo first.

Dear,
I accept to send as you demand, but give us example by posing a photo with my own picture so that we know how to do what you want us to pose.
I wait you send the pose you have with my picture.
Bless you,
Marria

Dear,
what do you want, you want to help me or what, all the pictures I sent to you weresnaped long time again, the only recent picture is the one the doctor snaped me when they thought I want to die, i was in coma according to the doctor when they snaped me the recent picture, And I warned him, over my dead will I snap another picture.
The lawyer told me he can not accept that rubish, He said you people are not serious, If you want to help me, kindly do, but if you are laughing at me through the way you are acting to me, better stop please, so that I will know, I already told the lawyer that you are my late husband's business partner, and now you have disaponited me.
Any way, I can not snap any picture and Lawyer already told me that we are kidding with him. So forget about that, if you want to help, then lets go on and if not back out please, I am not fussing you to help me after all you will profit greatly in this. I send the picture which the doctor snaped me, if you cares?
Bless you and bye

Harold, This scum is a bunch of scammers, just like I told you. They send mocked-up pictures and cannot respond to you, is that not so? We will look for someone else to help us with our cause. I will see you at the fest.
