Dear Mohammed,
I get no reply form my emails to you. Are you there? What happened?

Dear Mohammed,
I am so grateful to you, I will never let you down. You can be assured of MY utmost discretion and Honesty and I will treat you honestly and ethically also. Yes, we could do this without a solicitor and we have saved a substantial amount BY DOING WITHOUT THE SNAKES that they are. Because of MY sage advice to you and MY guidance to do this without a I now suggest that we split the money 60-60 if that is OK with you, with the larger share going to ME, in our agreement. Please send preliminary agreement text for my inspection I AWAIT your OK and instructions about how to best withdraw the money. Perhaps I will fly to Cayman.
Let's talk on the phone and before please tell me what subjects we will discuss so that I can be well prepared. Thank you for the NO CAPS! It is much more civil and friendly this way. I have already activated my account as I tried to show you in my additional emails. I will NOT be taking to money to America. I am so happy about this, I could almost kiss you, my dear friend. I'm going to celebrate! PLEASE write back soon.

You see, It's STUPID to let solicitors to get in the way of progress, don't you agree? HA! We are in fat city, you and I, Thanks a million - no, more!!

Henry

NB: PLEASE WRITE SOON I WAIT YOUR EMAIL IMMEDIATELY!!! And god bless you!

Thank you for your quick reply again, Mohammed. It's funny, now that the transaction is finished, we write to each other quickly, and before not. The agreement is very long! I will read it at my leisure. At any rate, I see that it is not needed immediately, since there is no time for the signed copy can reach you via normal mail by Wednesday, the day when the money will have been finalized. Why do we need it anyway?

Is for the confirmation document, I printed it yesterday and I already sent it to you as attachment! Please look, I do not have it on this computer, I don't know where it is right now.

If you do not send instructions -- I wish you would -- I will start transferring this money my myself -- I need it, since I will soon make an expensive purchase with my money which I have now. I have been looking at purchasing a gold mine in Alaska.

Thanks, my friend, I will print your document now, see you later, Trust me. You did not say anything about the new 60-40- split, Please address this issue specifically, else I will assume it's OK with you. Actually, I would like a bit more money than that, if you don't mind, OK?


HP

Hi Mohammed, I looked at the agreement, it is very a good an acceptable, but I suggest some minor changes. They are as follow.

Please correct this: “at Nigeria ?”

Please clarify, this sounds silly, I have never seen such in a contract: In this Agreement the Masculine also represents the Feminine, and the Neuter represents the Recipient Beneficiary.

No Pakistan!! (I hate Islamists they are false prophets and they bombed our Sept 11): Reserve Bank of Pakistan [hm – at the beginning of this exchange I admitted to being a Moslem, after he implied that I am one, and NOW I SAY THIS! I wonder if he will notice this mistake]

Fix punctuation: Henry Pendergast in his capacity . herein

Fix your gender: Mr Mohammed Abacha herein solemnly declare/s & confirm/s that he / she / they is / are

Fix: (I told you yesterday that the US is out, I will not transfer to USA): both parties can otherwise meet in USA if desirable
-------------------------------------
and... outside of this agreement we will have another agreement which supercedes this one, so specify the correct split between you and me, and specifies the place of meeting.
OK? It seems reasonable, let me know

You will need to get another bank, Mohammed. It is against my principles to do business with Islamics. Pakistan and Afghanistan and the rest, they are all swine. Please get another bank.

And, sorry, you also will have to show document to me, then, that YOUR new account has been activated.

You act as if you did not get my pervious emails, you gloss over point I made before. This is nto good. I told you about the activation papers, the money split and many more things. I will not reply to your emails until I have a full accounting of outstanding questions.

Peace be with you,

[ Well, I did ask him to prove the existence of the money or else shut up; I’ve decided I’m thru talking with Mohammed for the time being.]

Dear Dorothy Wood of FIRST CAYMAN BANK,
Did you get my email form yesterday?  ( I reproduce it below. )

Today I checked about the money for account activation.  I can have it all together by tomorrow evening or Saturday afternoon.  I will send as soon as possible.  For final clarification, I will say again the address here top which I will cause my bank to effect the transfer.  If I understand everything properly it is the following:

   Bank of Taiwan
   Cheng Chung Branch
   47 Chiong Taio Rd.
   Taipei    Taiwan
   Swift code   BKTWTWPO4
   Acct. Num.  045007000723
   Acct. Name YOUNG FAST OPTO ELECTRONICS CO.
   Pmt. details, message   HP -SSDA

Please verify before tomorrow.  If I understand it correctly, this is the information I will need for this transfer, is that correct?

If I cannot get 100% of money by tomorrow, will a partial payment of 50% free up half of the funds, and I can send the rest later?   How much interest does the bank pay, I need this figure for tax purposes?

Bets wishes and Season's Greetings
  Henry

NB:  Below is email from yesterday, please follow up at your earliest convenience.  I also need to know how long it takes to transfer money out of my account as well as into my account -- how many days?

Dear Dr. Williams,
Thank you for your reply although it was a bit slow, I think. It looks like by tomorrow afternoon late local time, I will have the entire sum, not only half. That makes moot the unanswered question I posed to you about freeing up $40 million immediately if I pay now the $5,250. Not moot is the nagging feeling I have about the competency of your bank. I also asked about the interest. Any competent banker would easily and quickly know this and happily inform his customers. After all, ,this is what I'm paying you for, in part. I hereby ask AGAIN, and expect an answer before tomorrow, this time.

Best Regards,
Henry Pendergast

[ It's about time to write to Mohammed again -- remember, he is still waiting for his share.  The $80 million is in the bank now -- can I afford to be just a little rude with this Nigerian scammer ?  Let's try it.  ]

I have not replied to you, Mo, because:
1.  You are such a dumb fuck
2.  You don't answer my goddamn questions
3.  ... and nobody is impersonating you, you fool.  You are so stupid and such a looser that it would only bring dishonor to the impersonator and his family!. 

I have asked you about the new splitting of the percentages and you replied fucking-nothing.  So it's OK, what I suggested:  75% for me and 25% for you.   Without me you would have zilch.  I have a good mind  to pay you zilch, asshole.   But I'm no cheat, a deal is a deal.  Answered my previous questions and tell me where to wire the money.  Remember, the Islamic bank in Lahore is out!  No way will I do business with any fucking Islamist pigs dogs.  I already told you why.

Best Wishes,
Henry

Mohammed,
You are not getting 50%, Mo, no way -- You agreed earlier to 25%, now you want to increase it, that's just crazy. Do you have any of education, "Doctor" Abacha? What the heck is this, your sentence, to mean: "Please is now that the money is already in your FIRST CAYMAN BANK that you are tyreating like these " Of what tirade do you speak? Do you speak English? You're Loony. Get help. Get a brain. Get an education.

I wonder how reliable you are. Do they title anyone, willy-nilly, these baboon countrymen of yours?

I spit on your title. I saw the BBC newspaper article about you -- you are a criminal and a thief, you stole 600 million dollars, for Christ's sake! You took this money from innocent victims, childless orphans. I have read about you. You deserve noting, Yea verily I speak onto you, saying you deserve punishment. The fire of hell. Yet I am a kind an loving man. I will surely transfer the 25% to you and I forgive your transgressions.

Where is the " amende aggreement", Mo? What is taking so fucking long??? And why were there so many stupid mistakes in it initially? Was it drafted by one of your Baboon doctor-accountants?

I await your instructions for transferral, I have told you several time already. It would be simpler to train an ape to do this simple task than to ask you, "Dr. Millioner" to do it. Get on the stick.

Remittance Manager

[It looks like they have not made their web pages so that I can change my password...tsk, tsk... maybe they will have to hire a programmer now.]

Dear Mr. Williams,

Something has happened, Christopher. The money is not the problem. I got a very crazy and somewhat threatening letter from the transferor, Mr. Abacha. He is very unstable. For one thing, he is threatening to take the money back, via "high level bank officials" in Cayman. On the other hand, he proposes an alternate transfer of physically bringing the funds to US and I would meet him there. I'm not sure if he can be trusted now. But if so, I would gladly pay for his flight, thus saving the 10,000-activation fee. I hope you will understand.

With his looming over my head the remote Idea that he could actually accomplish his dirty deed of stealing my money from my account, I must insist that I have control over my password now. A password is no good, if others know it or if the can easily find out what it is. Any top Cayman bank official, if there were an unscrupulous one, say at your bank, could easily retrieve or intercept your email, Christopher and could thus steal my money, knowing my account number and password. I don't know why I'm going on about this; you are a bank official, albeit only a Remittance Manager level. Nevertheless, and good Withdrawal Manager worth his salt, or even some snot-nosed young clerk errand boy would agree that account numbers, passwords and all other bank information must be secret at all times.

In our short relationship so far, your bank has misappropriated my money already by depositing it into someone else's account by mistake. (This you have corrected but not apologized for, NB)

I forget to thank you for speaking with me on the telephone last night. You mentioned the interest rate that could obtain, ion the range of 7 7/8 and 11 1/2 percent. I would like to request a brochure of particulars to be sent so that I can study now, which options would be best. And, have you any recommendations?

I am still awaiting the information I asked of you previously about your anonymous ATM card services with which to have access to my funds, discretely from any ATM in the world. Specifically, I need to know the Brand and Logo, so that I can be on the lookout for it, to see if it is indeed a familiar one affixed to ATM mach8ines. This is an important feature for me. Please do not tarry in fulfilling this request also.

I regret that for today you will have to ring up a "No Sale" in the ol' cash register. Perhaps next week will be better. This weekend would have been a good time -- the weather here is beautiful and sunny, and a drive through the countryside to the city would have been pleasant. Mr. Abacha notwithstanding, I full expect to do business with you next week, as planned for this week, I don't think that his proposed options will succeed in the long run.

Sincerely,
Pendergast

PS:
Question: the +1-775-855-3370 number... is it a US bank? If so, I have some ideas, possibly, I will explain later.
Question: What is a temporary account and what are its restrictions -- how does a temporary account differ from a permanent account. Please explain in detail.
Question:  Explain why you sent Acct. and Password unencrypted, in CLEAR TEXT -- is this normal practice at your bank?
Question:  What does the ATM Logo look like?

BTW -- you make some Grammatical mistakes on the initial brochure you sent me, it bemoans ill if you to have that, as international banking institution. Remind me, I'll help you fix it, as well as your web pages, if you want. No charge, my friend.

Dear Christopher,

I'm waiting now for 2 hours and no reply. Please be prepared, I will call you later then. To recapitulate, here are your outstanding Answers I am expecting to know ASAP.


1. Question: the +1-775-855-3370 number... is it a US bank? If so, I have some ideas, possibly, I will explain later.
2. Question: What is a temporary account and what are its restrictions -- how does a temporary account differ from a permanent account. Please explain in detail.
3. Question: Explain why you sent Acct. and Password un-encrypted, in CLEAR TEXT -- is this normal practice at your bank? Does your bank not know how to Encrypt confidential email? I f not do you want to learn? I can educate you in this as well as grammar. just ask, I will help, but you must help me also. It's your job to help me, after all I'm not paying you for nothing.
4. Question: What does the ATM Logo look like?

Last night you were wo9rking until all hours opf the night, perhaps until the wee hours of the morniong. Now, it's ealy afternoon and you do not reply. So, please add the following to y9our list:

5. Question: Is FIRST CAYMAN BANK a FULL SERVICE bank?

Are you taking you our siesta now? It is noon in Cayman now. Pease don't tarry, I am a busy man, too.

[ 12 hous later -- a letter to Cayman Islands' Williams]

I wrote to you 12 fucking hours ago,  gorilla Ape Monkey!  Answer me please, RSVP.  What is the matter with you people???  Are you stupid, lazy or like your race,  slovenly ????

Mo,
I was ready this past weekend to make the transfer, but I had some problem with the Cayman guy regarding privacy of the money. I have all the money now. I told him the problem but he hasn't responded, these people are lazy, taking siesta all the time.  This is common in the Southern climates. I'm aiming for transfer next weekend, if he resolves the Account privacy problem.

I was just angry with you before, a 50 / 50 split is ok with me. I am a man of my word and I (99.999%) always do what I say I will do. I called my bank, the people there were very professional, unlike in Cayman, and said that there will lbe problem with my money transfer.

YOU still owe me some answers from previous unresolved questions.

If you absolutely must use your Mexican connection, I will understand, I too found another similar opportunity but not for as much money. I'll keep you posted on that as well. Before this coming weekend I will also research some more possibilities on the Intranet with Cayman Island banks, so we may have other possibilities as well.

I *always rely to you immediately; you NEVER do. We have a different work ethic here.

Henry,

please i want us to finish this business so i am not going to involve the
mexican man again ,try and activate the account ,contact the bank and they
will tell you how to activate it.remember that fcb is a private bank that
banks under a cover.

please if we must finish this business it has to be with the first cayman
bank.because they are the only bank that can gurrantee the safety of our
money.

my late father General sani abacha has used first cayman bank to move out
big money from Nigeria.

[ sani abacha President of Nigeria, 1993-1998. Died during a sex romp with three Indian prostitutes. External link ]

please call the fcb and ask them on how to activate your account so that
you can start making the transfers out from the bank.
remember that i told you that the business wount last long ,but you are
the one that is slowing it down now.

and we must do it as fast as possible so that we shall all get our money
and go away .

i am making my plans to be in american by next week so that i can have my
own share of the money.so activate the account and start making transfers
out of fcb bit by bit .

for you to activate the account you have to make a deposit of sum amount
which you can withdraw ant time .with the deposit that you will make to
make your acount active ,they can now give you acess to start making your
transfers from the $80million.

make the deposit today to prove to me that you are capable of doing the
business with me,and send me the payment slip that you used to make your
activation deposit.

think about the money in your account now .remember that there are so many
propsals from africa which are not real.But you have seen how real i am
,right now the money is in your account.

i am a African ,do not go into any other proposal because they might not
be real.

my late father has moved out money amounting to $2billion so is not a new
thing for me.i choosed first cayman bank because they are good in that kind
of deals.

if you are able to finish the business with me we can still move out more
funds that my family has in security company.

this $80m is not even up to what i still intend to move out ,but i just
want to know how reliable you can be .

remebre you said that you will not like the business to last ,i did as i
promised .i made sure that the money got to your account under a week.but
just to deposit some token in your account a have the millions get transfered
is what have been keeping us.

tell me if your can make the deposit or not.i choosed you because i learnt
from my sources that you can be trusted in this kind of business.

make the deposit and start transfering the money out.we dont have time .
remembre to send me the payment slip that you will use to make the deposit
to your account for activation,so that i will be keeping record of it ,because
we are going to deduct all our expenses before sharing the money.

regarding the agreement. we will have to sign it together with all our witnesses
present when i get to america .

i want you to send me an invitation letter which i will use to secure a
visa next week to america.

i will open an four accounts in america which you will help me do .which
i will use to get all my own share in this business.

i urgently awaits your reply.

MOHHAMEED

[ Really?  I wonder what number he called!  HA!  He made more deposits?  Thank you ]

Dear Mohammed,
I did not get your telephone message, sorry, Did you speak with a secretary? I apologise. Thank you for the additional money transfer, how much is in the account now? I'm happy because this will make our deal so much sweeter. Same split, 50 / 50, OK? I hope you mentioned to Mr. Christian about my concern about he security problem, I told you yesterday. He knows time is short, it must be fixed else my scheduled wring of the activation money will not proceed this weekend. I MUST have secure access, I told him, he should know. Did you speak with him or with someone at Cayman about my concern? Please reply ASAP. I'm tired of waiting.
What about your Mexican connection? What is the status. I don't want to waste my time.

Subject: your MISTAKES

Mohammed,
I must say to you that your spelling and command of the language is atrocious! I asked you not to use all capital letters, and you did that, thank you, But now you are using only lower case letters. Please write properly, and don't run your fucking sentences together use a period and a space after so that Can read it thank you. You see, my email program puts a big red line trough all of your MISTAKES, grammar, spelling and punctuation and it makes it nigh impossible for me to read. Would you please show some consideration. Additionally, use a spell checking program if you don't know how to spell. Your cooperation in this is much appreciated.

Mo,
They know the money is coming form your side, stupid!  What bank would not know who deposited 8 million, you stupid ape?  They know, because I told them, Bozo!  I told them because you fucking threatened to take the money back by your knowing my account number and password, asshole!!!!  Jesus fucking Christ, and Allah as His pig swine, you are stupid.

Dear Christopher,
The woman at my bank whom I asked to check into wiring the activation fee last week says there is a "slight inconsistency" as she said, and recommends about not wiring until the correct information is contained,  It's not a big deal, but I need to know which of the two it is -- Is the name of the street of the bank.

Henry,
i contacted the fcb in pretence to be you so they told me that ,why they
are holding you is because the money that i transfered is been held in an
escrow account because you did not make any initial deposit into your account.they
said that they have told you that you will have to make an intial deposit
of $10500 to activate the account and allow you get acess to the money or
that after 21 days they will have the money confiscated my the cayman banking
authorites as an unclaimed fund.


so please if you can not make the deposit tell me so that i can retrench
back the money back to africa.and look for another person to help.
remember that i am not giving your percentage for nothing,this is business
that has to be done with the mind.
i can not afford to be wasting my time if you are not capable.
i demend urgent reply so that i can make my decision.
Mohameed Aabacha

I'm very angry with you, Mo -- You are stupid and BORING beyond compare.  You impersonated me, and you complain that people impersonate you!  All this impersonation and pretending is dishonest, Dummkopf!  You say the same things over and over again, thinking everyone is as dense as you, having to have everything explained ad nauseam.  For months now , your emails' subset has been URGENT.  The only thing urgent is my bowel movement, immediately after I receive your email.  Piss off, Schweinhund.  You will get nothing, no percent, zero, zilch, pasta!  DO NOT EMAIL ME ANY MORE ASSHOLE MORON, all your email will be deleted before it is accepted.  Say good-bye to the 80 Million in my Escrow Account.  You don't know the account number or the password, dildo-for-braions; you can't get at my money. Your mother is a whore slut.

[ Let's make an offer to Christopher Williams, Ph.D, the remittance Manager from the Cayman Bank (aka. Moammed / Mohameed, HA! )... let's make hiom an offer he should refuse, if he is a real Banker: ]

To: remittance@firstcaymanbank.com
ubject: Alternate offer

Dear Christopher Williams,

As I told you last week, I had hoped to make the transfer to $10,500 this weekend, tomorrow, but I did not hear from you.  I had asked for enhanced security for my account by allowing me to change my password and you refused.  Naturally I am very skeptical now.  You have not replied to my previous letters, so naturally I'm also confused.  I will not risk $10,500.  I will send, tomorrow morning, $1,000 instead, I can risk this amount.  I will do this if you will guarantee me that you will accept the $1000 in lieu of the $10,500 and that this lesser amount will have the same affect and effect the same rights as the larger sum which you asked for before, for activation and deposit.   I will need your written guarantee that his is so, and I will send the money to the Taiwanese bank account you specified.  I await your response at your earliest possible convenience, pronto.

Best regards,

Henry Pendergast

Dear valued customer


Be informed that we had earlier provided notification requesting for
transfer of US$10,500.00 for account activation and initial minimum deposit
to enable further credit of your Escrow Credit value into your First Cayman
Bank activated account for your immediate access to your funds.

Uptill the time of this communication, we have not received any deposit in
your favor, and have received strict cautionary notification from the Cayman
Island Monetary Authority in this regard, requesting for deposit to enable
audit and reconciliation for year end 2003.

The management of First Cayman Bank has submitted request for extension of
Escrow Holding Duration in your favor, citing "health reasons" as the
primary cause for your delay in compliance with Escrow regulations to avoid
confiscation of deposit in your favor.

We do request for your immediate compliance.

First Cayman Bank will not accept responsibility or liability for
confiscation of deposit in your favor due to non compliance to established
regulation.

Be notified once more that your funds are still in Escrow Account and Escrow
Limitations apply. Full account information with flexible operating plan
will be made available to you upon compliance to Escrow regulation.

You may wish to contact our remittance manager, Mr Christopher Williams on
+1-213-452-1586 for further clarification (if necessary)

Sincerely
Mrs Dorothy Wood
Secretary
Private Banking Services

if you have really activated your account and have moved the money from
the escrow account.let me see the payment slip which you used to make the
payments.
i know that why you are doing all these things is because you can not afford
to activate the account.
you are just joking ,i have contacted the bank ,they said that my money

Dear valued customer

Be notified that full details for deposit of the stipulated account
activation and initial minimum deposit totalling US$10,500.00 had been sent
to you.

Up till the time of this communication with you, there has been no evidence
of your deposit to ensure further credit of your Escrow funds into activated
first Cayman Bank account

First Cayman Bank does not accept liability or responsibility for
confiscation of your funds due to delays or non payment of stipulated fees.

Upon deposit, send to us the payment deposit slip to fax number

Sincerely

Remittance Manager

Christopher Williams --

Please read my last communications, no time nor to re-type it, please look up old emails, thanks.

I told you I am prepared to send the money. I have been prepared for over 3 weeks now. I told you. I told you I must change my password first, and you have domne nothing about it.

I have told you I will not risk so much money without this password change. Before I told you I would will risk $1000, without password change, provided you can guarantee that all the same befits will still accrue to me as if I had sent the full amount of 10,500. Why do I have to tell you people everything twice? It's not so difficult, Dr. Williams.

Because you have waited so long, Now I will only risk $900, not $1000. Do you want / able to do this, yes or no? (If no, please do not contact me again, as I have discovered another opportunity, much easier than with you blockheads).

The asshole Islamic nigger Mohammed who transferred it into Cayman thinks he can get the money back, that's why I insist on password changeability. Do you understand? Why do I have to tell you people everything twice? Are you dense?

Dear "Ph. D."
Your message came late, as usual. It's discombobulated and un-intelligible. At which University did you obtain your degree? I asked you yes or no, if you will accept my offer, and instead I got your unintelligible soliloquy. It is too long to understand or to read.

Tomorrow is the day that I am prepared top send your $900 dollars. You will be late to reply with 'yes or no', so I think next week I will be prepared top send not $900, but only $800. I will risk that much on our venture now. Tell me yes or no. Do you understand yes and no, in the English language? 

Is there really a request which asked to return the funds to bank of origin ? 


The ball is in your court, Merry X-mas
