{URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL}
(RE: TRANSFER OF ($ 126,000.000.00 USD}
{ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX MILLION DOLLARS)

Dear sir,

We want to transfer to overseas ($ 126,000.000.00 USD) One hundred and
Twenty six million United States Dollars) from a Bank in Africa, I want
to ask you to quietly look for a reliable and honest person who will be
capable and fit to provide either an existing bank account or to set up a new
Bank

a/c immediately to receive this money, even an empty a/c can serve to
receive this money, as long as you will remain honest to me till the end
for this important business trusting in you and believing in God that you
will never let me down either now or in future.

I am Mr. Murphey Motombo, the Auditor General of a bank in Africa,
during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating fund in an account opened in the bank in 1990 and since 1993 nobody has operated on this account again, after going through some old files in the records I discovered that the owner of the account died without a [heir] hence the money is floating and if I do not remit this money out urgently it will be forfeited for nothing. the owner of this account is Mr. Phillip Morris, a foreigner, and a sailor, and he died, since 1993. and no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it, the account has no other beneficiary and my investigation proved to me as well that Phillip Morris until his death was the manager Morris & Morris Coy.(pty). SA.

We will start the first transfer with Twenty six million [$26,000.000] upon successful transaction without any disappoint from your side, we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining rest amount to your account.

The amount involved is (USD 126M) One hundred and Twenty Six million United States Dollars, only I want to first transfer $26,000.000 [Twenty Six million United States Dollar from this money into a safe foreigners account abroad before the rest, but I don't know any foreigner, I am only contacting you as a foreigner because this money can not be approved to a local person here, without valid international foreign passport, but can only be approved to any foreigner with valid international passport or drivers license and foreign a/c because the money is in us dollars and the former owner of the a/c Mr. Phillip Morris is a foreigner too, [and the money can only be approved into a foreign a/c.

However, we will sign a binding agreement, to bind us together I got your contact address from the Girl who operates computer, I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently so that I will inform you the next step to take urgently. Send also your private telephone and fax number including the full details of the account to be used for the deposit.

I want us to meet face to face to build confidence and to sign a binding agreement that will bind us together before transferring the money to any account of your choice where the fund will be safe. Before we fly to your country for withdrawal, sharing and investments.

I need your full co-operation to make this work fine. because the
management is ready to approve this payment to any foreigner who has correct information of this account, which I will give to you, upon your positive response and once I am convinced that you are capable and will meet up with instruction of a key bank official who is deeply involved with me in this business.

I need your strong assurance that you will never, never let me down.

With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer this money to any foreigner's reliable account which you can provide with assurance that this money will be intact pending our physical arrival in your country for sharing. The bank official will destroy all documents of transaction immediately we receive this money leaving no trace to any place

and to build confidence you can come immediately to discuss with me face to face after which I will make this remittance in your presence and three of us will fly to your country at least two days ahead of the money going into the account.

I will apply for annual leave to get visa immediately I hear from you that you are ready to act and receive this fund in your account. I will use my position and influence to obtain all legal approvals for onward transfer of this money to your account with appropriate clearance from the relevant ministries and foreign exchange departments.

At the conclusion of this business, you will be given 35% of the total amount, 60% will be for me, while 5% will be for expenses both parties might have incurred during the process of transferring.

I look forward to your earliest reply through my email.

Quatloos reader Tracy Williams forwarded the above messages to Brad, who immediately saw tremendous potential.

Dear Mr. Motombo:

A trusted employee has forwarded your message to me. First of all, thank you for telling me about yourself. Let me respond with some information about myself. I am a successful entrepreneur and inventor. You may have heard of the Bass-O-Matic. Well, that's not mine, but I did come up with the Smelt Slusher, which actually works much better and has netted me a small fortune from the fast-food industry. Other inventions include a very popular home-protection device. It's the BarfLog. Certainly you've heard of it. If not, tell me and I'll explain this unique device and even send you one.

Regarding your comments about "floating money," I certainly hope the royal throne chair was not involved. I understand that $126 million is a plentiful sum, but can't you use some Charmin instead? Just a suggestion.

I propose that we schedule a face-to-face meeting as soon as possible to discuss this transaction. All the best,

Brad Christensen

______________________

Dear Mr. Motombo:

I am wondering why you haven't responded to my e-mail of Friday, Jan. 17. The employee who forwarded your proposal message to me was Tracy L. Williams. She works at Monrovia, which is a storage and distribution company for the BarfLog and other unique devices I have invented. She felt as the CEO of my company I would be in a better position to be involved in this opportunity.

Dear Brad Christensen,

Thanks for your kind mail, the contents of the mail is well understood. I was so suprised about your mail because i only sent this mail to Tracy Williams and nobody else. Anyway thanks for your positive response, i want you to know that the business is very safe and risk free for both of us. What you need to be doing is to follow the instructions as i will be getting it from the insider we have in the bank.

However, you should note that it will take 14 banking days to get all the papers ready before payment into your a/c from the date you submit the a/c informations which will be used for the transfer, remember any account can serve for the transfer whether there is money in it or not, new, old, etc, so far you are the only signatory to the account.

I will be sending you all transaction documents the very moment they becomes available so we still have much time to be exchanging mails and talking on phone before the money will go into the a/c. You should therefore, send the a/c informations and your private telephone nos for easy communications to enable us start the processing of the foreign payment documents on time.

I tried to contact you on phone but could not get through, try to call me as soon as you receive this mail.

Call me on this tel nos. +874-762-727948, +870-762-727948, +871-762-727948, It's a satelite phone, when dialing, do not add South African country code, only add your country's international dial out code. Or my South Africa number +27-83-726-5625.

I wait for the account informations immediately.

Kind regards,
Dr. Murphey Motombo.

Dear Dr. Motombo:

My phone and fax numbers are below my name. My business account is UR2-DUM-52910381 at the First Ronco Bank of Burbank. However, I would like to set up a face-to-face meeting with you before we proceed in these matters. Appropriate caution and the ability to deal personally with people have helped me build a very successful business.

And I am extremely proud and protective of my business. No other company has created and distributed so many fine products over the past five years. I mentioned the Smelt Slusher fast-food breakthrough and the BarfLog home protection device. But wait - there's more! The Exac-Toe finger and toe nail clipper that works like an automatic pencil sharpener. It slices, it dices. And don't forget the Presto-Itz-Gon disappearing spray paint that has put those irritating taggers out of business for good! Sales of my products topped $12 million last year and are expected to double this year! Let me know if you'd like to know more about the BarfLog, my most popular invention. Act now and I'll send you a set of BarfLogs for free.

Meantime, I shall eagerly await your response about possible meeting sites.

effactive communications.

Yes, there is a need for us to see before the transfer

Re: Release of $126,000,000.00 U.S. dollars, (One
Hundred and Twenty Six Million U.S. Dollars Only) on
account number 202-15689-1 of Phillip Morris.

Dear Sir,

Reference to the above stated Account No. 202-15689-1 of the late Mr. Phillip Morris, with a credit balance of 126 Million Point Zero -Zero U.S. Dollars Only.

I have been advised by counsel that I am the designated beneficiary to the above referenced, dormant account, held by the late Mr. Phillip Morris.

As such, we wish to apply for the release of the total said amount and initial partial payment of $26, 000,000.00 (Twenty Six Million U.S. Dollars Only) in our favor, representing the first phase payment from the credit balance in the said account.

In accordance with the National and International Laws of Inheritance, kindly remit the stated amount in full to our account number stated below:

Beneficiary name: Brad Christensen
A/c number: UR2-DUM-52910381
Bank name: First Ronco Bank of Burbank
Bank address: 4286 Popeil Ave., Burbank, CA
91505

This request is predicated on the fact that since the death of Mr. Phillip Morris, who was entrusted with The Management of Morris & Morris Coy.(pty). SA. the need for the transfer of the money in the account becomes imperative.

We shall therefore be very grateful if this request meets with your favorable consideration.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Brad Christensen.

Dear Brad Christensen,

I am very very interested in your products and I am
going to come to your office after the transfer of
funds into your a/c, so the meeting side will be in US
and I will also try to call you back again with the
password, and as soon as you get any information from
the Bank in South Africa you let me know. Try to call
me.

Yours,
Dr. Murphey

Dear Dr. Motombo:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for preparing and sending my account information to your bank. It seems unusual for the bank to be on the 17th floor of a building. Generally banks are on the ground floors of buildings. Does this bank not want any business or is it customary for banks in Africa to be on the 17th floor? The bank has not called me yet. And I have been unable to call you because I am unfamiliar in placing international calls and do not want to get my staff involved.

I am very happy to hear you're interested in my products, but you haven't specified which ones have captured your attention. I've offered several times now to give you a free set of valuable BarfLogs, but you haven't responded. Also, I would like to market some of my products in Africa and would appreciate your advice on which ones would be in greatest demand.

Soon I will add to my product line a fabulous new breakthrough for dieters. It's "Where's The Spud Poof Chips," which are zero-calory disintegrating potato chips. Reacting in seconds to saliva, each Poof Chip transforms into a small burst of methane gas. Ideally the methane should be expelled from the mouth. But in testing some subjects have swallowed the chip too soon, creating certain internal problems. We of course will rectify this situation by placing a warning on the back of each package.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad Christensen,

Thanks for your kind mail. I am interested in your
product but we will discuss about that after
successful transfer to your account, for now i'm very
busy with the bank. I'm trying to put all the
necessary documents in place so that we will be 100%
sure of the money going into your account, and i
wouldn't like to make any mistakes, and you should
know that this oppurtunity can never come my way agin.

Do not worry, i have made all arrengment to see to the
successful conclusion of our business. After
successful transfer from here to your account, we will
now plan how to invest in your product. Do tell me
when get any massage from the bank.

I wait prompt response.

Yours,
Dr Murphey Motombo.

______________________

Dear Dr. Motombo:

Your refusal to answer my questions has become very annoying and distressing to me. In fact, I am beginning to question your motives in this whole matter. Why will you not answer why your bank is on the 17th floor, which seems very strange to me?

I also have asked numerous times if you'd accept my generous offer for a free set of BarfLogs, my leading product. Amazingly, you have not responded!!

I additionally have asked you to name the products that would stand the best chance of success if marketed in Africa. Again my products include the Smelt Slusher, BarfLogs, Exac-Toe automatic clipper, Presto-Itz-Gon spray paint, Agent Orange cleaning solution, and "Where's the Spud" Poof Chips. Ideally I would like to begin by marketing only three of the items in Africa. As an African you are in the perfect position to tell me which three I should select.

Your business proposition and my rapidly growing business both are important to me. In fact, with the current rate of growth, my products should reach $500 million in annual profits within the next four years. By comparison, I would receive 35% of your $126 million, which works out to only $44 million. Now can you understand why my business is so very important to me?

Yesterday I received an e-mail proposal from Mrs. Martina Taniwa Kabila of the Democratic Republic of Congo regarding the need for a foreign partner to withdraw $119 million from her deceased husband's business account. I am seriously thinking about parterning with Mrs. Kabila instead of you unless you start being responsive to my questions. It is my hope, however, that you can salvage our business relationship by answering my questions. Good day sir.

Dear Mr. Bello:

I am very interested in your proposed business transaction. Please tell me more.

Also, I have a proposal for you. You see, I am a successful inventor of consumer products that are advertised extensively on cable television. My company is one of the fastest growing disseminators of bull in the United States. Now I want to market my products in Africa. However, I know very little about Africa and would only be able to guess which of my products would be in demand there. If I described my products to you, would you agree to tell me which ones would sell the best in Africa? Last week I asked another African, a Dr. Motombo, to help me, but he refused to answer my questions.

Dear Mr. Bello:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your rapid response and your agreement to assist me in marketing my products in Africa.

My proper name: Brad Popeil-Mays Christensen
Home Address: 236 Ronco Boulevard, Gila Bend, AZ 85123
Phone: (623) 878-2791
Fax: (602) 978-2414

Here are my products and a brief description of each. Should you require more information about any product please ask:

• Smelt Slusher, similar to the famous Bass-O-Matic, but much more efficient in preparing smaller fish for consumption as malteds at fast food restaurants.

• Exac-Toe Clipper, clips fingernails, toenails and occasionally unwanted skin. Looks and works like an automatic pencil sharpener, but has a tungsten steel blade.

• Agent Orange Cleaner, industrial-strength cleaning product that dissolves anything and everything without the fuss.

• Presto-Itz-Gon, disappearing spray paint that effectively thwarts even the most energetic efforts of graffiti artists. Named Product of the Year last year by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

• Where's The Spud Poof Chips, zero-calory potato chips for dieters. When chewed, each chip transforms into a small burst of methane gas that ideally is expelled through the mouth.

• BarfLogs, home-protection units that are burned in the fireplace when one is away, producing an olfactory blanket of protection no thief would dare invade. The BarfLog comes in one-week and two-week sizes. Then we have BarfNuggets for overnight or weekend trips. The BarfLog is my leading seller in the United States.

But wait, there's more...

By combining two well-established products - the Pocket Fisherman and the Garden Weasel - I have created my newest product, the Pocket Weasel. It is a wonderful gadget that catches pickpockets before they can run off. I have attached a photo.

I would like to start off by marketing three of my products in Africa. Any feedback you can give on which products would be in greatest demand will be greatly appreciated. Last year alone, my business doubled in revenues to $22 million. Some Wall Street analysts are projecting enormous profits in the years ahead. They say my company will be the next Enron!

I am eager to finalize our transaction because the money I obtain from it will go directly into the reseach and development of products not yet imagined!

Awaiting your immediate response.

Brad Christensen

Dear Mr. Bello:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. I have tried faxing your form but am unfamiliar with my machine's operation for international link-ups. I would rather not consult my staff because I don't want them to know anything about our upcoming business transaction. Would it be possible for you to fax the form from there? I'd like to get going on this as soon as possible, and travel is no problem for me.

It absolutely made my week to hear there are buyers for my products in Africa. The Smelt Slusher and BarfLogs are wonderful choices, Mr. Bello, because they are quite effective and have good profit margins. Tell me, what areas of Africa would these products be in greatest demand? And what size of BarfLogs should we market first? The full meter variety for two-week excursions or only the half-meter model?

I am also wondering about the possible manufacture of kiln-dried BarfLogs in Africa because they are quite expensive to ship from the USA. First, however, I must be assured of an adequate supply of raw materials. In that regard, I need an experienced workforce, one familiar with bulimia and gastro-intestinal eruptions. Would I find plenty of these seasoned workers in Africa?

Finally, you mentioned the Pocket Fisherman as your third choice. But that's not mine. Did you mean the Pocket Weasel, which was pictured in the attachment and was created using concepts from both the Garden Weasel and the Pocket Fisherman? Thanks in advance for your prompt responses to my questions.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

Sorry for my late reply.I have been very busy since yesterday trying to fix up things for this deal and as of now i can assure you that we have gotten out of the starting block and things seems to be walking right .For now i won't write much because i've got not much time ,i only wanted to brief you .

Meanwhile,i want you to still try and send that fax across to the security company because it is not right for me to send it from here.Their fax number as i told you is 234 1 7593714.Just find out the international dailing out of the USA and dial the following number.If you can't get through just scan the letter and attach it through to their email,this i think is very easy.Their email address is {citysecurities@consultant.com}

I want you to try and do it immediately.I am going to write you a detailed mail in the evening today.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Mr. Bello:

I have filled out the form and e-mailed it to City Securities. I copied you on the e-mail. I am looking forward to meeting you and completing this transaction. However, I am a bit concerned about your delay in answering some very important questions in regards to marketing my products in Africa. You are my eyes and ears in Africa and I greatly depend on your advice regarding my business. Please respond to the questions that were in my previous e-mail. I have reproduced them below...

Dear Brad,

Thanks for your 2 fax which i recieved and all the contents were well understood.

As for the informations that you require,please do not blame me for not answering immediately because you know that i have been busy trying to fix things up.Like i informed you before,i will try my possible best to see that you penetrate the african market concerning your products.Although i am not a business man,i will use my influence and contact to get some reliable market for you but you know that i cannot combine effectively now these two things ,so like i sugessted we have to work fast to get this deal achieve and we have time to go deeply into your goods,but i will still be making contacts for the goods so that as soon as we finalize we can go into it immediately.Hopefully ,i believe that within the upper week allthings being equal we shall be able to finalize this deal,so i want you to bring out yourself effectively so that we make sure we finalize it within that time as to have chance to go into your products fully.

I do believe that the products will be in demand in Nigeria,Ghana,Benin Republic,Mali ,Senegal and South Africa,but first you have to start from Nigeria and gradually move to all these other West African Countries. As for the Smelt Slusher and BarfLogs ,my feeling is that you have to come along with the 2 sizes and the market will decide on which one they want.

As for setting up a manufacturing company in africa especially Nigeria,i think it is feasible because our economy needs most of those foreign companies and there will be an enabling enveroment for you.We have to discuss this in details when we meet.

I was refering to Pocket Weasel,the one that you pictured.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Mr. Bello:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your wonderful strategic advice regarding my products. I am almost dancing with joy to hear there is an enabling environment in Nigeria for the production of BarfLogs. It can be so very difficult to find a workforce dedicated to the rigorous daily demands of bulimia and gastro-intestinal eruptions. I also am pleased to hear that both sizes of the BarfLog may be in demand. Thanks also for your clarification on the Pocket Weasel. Your e-mail has started my weekend on a very high note indeed!

I am looking forward to finalizing our transaction and drawing up our business plan for Africa. I am a tad confused by your referral to faxes, however, since I sent you the document via e-mail. All the best to you.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad

Thanks for your secound mail of which confirms that you have sent the message to the security company.Actually i do not know why you were not able to get through to their fax number.The fax number i gave to you is correct.Our country code is 234 city code is 1 and the number is 7593714.Calling out from the states you dial 011 234 1 7593714. Do try and give me a call.Dialing from USA 011 234 1 7753012{MY PERSONAL TELEPHONE}. All the documents concerning this matter has been provided to the security company and based on the meeting the attorney had with them yesterday and today ,i believe that they will lift this money out this week.I gathered the the country that they will lift the funds to is SPAIN ,so you have to make adequate arrangement for your trip to SPAIN as soon as the approval is given . As soon as the approval is given maybe by Monday ,i will arrange some of these documents and i will fax them or better still attach it through the email to you for your views. As it is now the security company may be contacting you any moment from now so please do let me anytime you recieve any information from them.I am working very hard to see that we succeed in this deal and from all indications and based on what is on the ground now,i am 100% sure that we will get there.I therefore urge you to put in your best to see that we conclude this matter. Let me hear from you.Wishing you a nice weekend.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Mr. Bello:

Full speed ahead! I will be ready to embark any time next week on a trip to Spain. Should I bring a Smelt Slusher, Pocket Weasel and a few BarfLogs as samples? Would you also like to see any of the other products?

Brad Christensen

______________________

Dear Mr. Bello:

I received the document yesterday via e-mail attachment from City Securities, however, I have asked them to redo it because they need to spell out my entire legal name, which is Brad Popeil-Mays Christensen. This is a legal document and I do not want to risk having a technical mistake ruin our business transaction. Thus far, City Securities has not responded. Can you please look into this immediately. Thanks.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

I just got your mail.I was not able to mail you back yesterday because i was too weak and i had to close work early to have a good rest.First thing tomorrow,i will have to look into that matter you mentioned and have it corrected.It is very good that you noticed the mistake.As it is now i believe that the funds should be ready anytime from now as i recieved a confirmation through a phone call this evening from Abuja that the Approval has been given and it will be despatched to Lagos by tomorrow,so you should get prepared to fly down to SPAIN to conclude the transcation by next week.By tomorrow i should be able to confirm the exact date that you are supposed to be there.

My Friend Brad,please i want you to do everything possible as from now to see that we conclude this matter by that next week,i have spend a lot of money to get this deal to this stage and i wouldn't want you to disappoint me.We have a lot of things to do togather.

I have started making contacts for your products and as soon as you come back from Spain,then you shall plan to come to Nigeria so as to look at the business enviroment as well as meet the people that will be interested in your products.One thing that i know is that i must do everything within my powers to see that your products will gain acceptability here and gradually in other west African Nations.As soon as you come back from SPAIN,i will need you to send a letter of invitation for me so that i will use it to apply for a visa in USA embassy here,because i will like to have the visa handy so that after you come to Nigeria,i will go back to USA with you so as to plan what to do with my money.I do hope that you will help me so as to invest the money wisely with your assistance and advice.

Let me hear from you.
Regards.

Your Friend
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Mr. Bello:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. I'm glad you're feeling better. I have asked City Securities to make the correction. Earlier today I faxed them my passport information, but am uncertain if it went through due to my unfamiliarity with the machine and with international faxing. I always have had my staff take care of faxing for me, but in this case it is important they know nothing about our transaction and my business plans for Africa.

Will you be traveling to Madrid to meet me there? I certainly hope so because we have many matters to discuss and plans to make. Again, should I bring samples of my products with me? If so, which ones would you like to test out? I rely tremendously on any advice you can offer. You are my eyes, ears and nose in Africa.

Brad Christensen

At first, City Securities balked at the extra hassle of changing the document, providing the following interesting rationale:

"WE RECONGIZED THE MISTAKE THAT WAS MADE IN YOUR FULL NAME IN THE DOCUMENT WE SENT TO YOU WHICH WAS NOT AS A RESULT OF AN ERROR BUT WAS SIMPLY AN OVERSIGHT. HAVING TAKEN NOTE OF THAT,WE ASSURE YOU THAT THE SAME DOCUMENT IS STILL VALID AND EVERY OTHER NECESSARY CORRECTIONS WILL BE MADE HENCEFORTH.YOU ARE REST ASSURED THAT NO SUCH SIMPLE TECHNICALITY WILL SPOIL YOUR TRANSCATION.WE ARE COMMITTED TO SERVE YOU BETTER SO ACCEPT THAT DOCUMENT AS AN AUTHENTIC DOCUMENT FROM US..."

Eventually Dr. Jacob saw the light and made the change...

Dear Brad,

How are you today,Hope that you are fine.That i have not contacted you for 2 days now was delibrate.Something is happening and something is wrong somewhere so i decided to watch out to find out what is happening.I think that somebody is snitching on our deal.I do not know how that person broke into my email adddress and making use of it unnecessaryly.Please do not respond to any email that is not from me henceforth.Even the messages from city securities,do not respond without my information.

Concerning our deal ,everything is still very intact ,and the funds is on the way to SPAIN,SO YOU HAVE TO MAKE FLIGHT ARRANGEMENT TO BE THERE BY NEXT WEEK.aNYWAY I AM GOING TO GIVE YOU MORE DETAILS IN THE EVENING WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU.fOR now do not send mails to me on any of my old mail address.I will like you to give me a new email address of yours because i am not comfortable sending mails anymore to this your mail address.From now send mails to me on {larrydickson20@aol.com} This is a more secured email and i opened it without my original name so that nobody will find out.Please respond immediately so that i can send you more details.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

______________________

Dear Mr. Bello:

What in the world is going on??? I received an e-mail earlier today from citysecurities@consultant.com with this message:

BRAD, ONLY RESPONSE TO THIS EMAIL! CSISECURITIES@CONSULTANT.COM IS AN IMPOSTER! THEY ARE FALSE, ONLY THIS IS THE REAL CITY SECURITIES. IGNORE ALL OTHERS AS THIS IS THE REAL ONE. CSI IS A FRAUD TRYING TO TAKE OUR BUSINESS.

However, I am inclined to believe that message was sent by some crackpot because on close examination, the word "impostor" is misspelled. Also, only complete goobers write in ALL CAPITALS. In my mind, these failings would render the accusation invalid, wouldn't they? If so, let's get on with our business.

Where did you get the name "Larry Dickson?" I knew a Larry Dickson in high school who farted all the time and never bathed. Unfortunately he sat in front of me in algebra class. Based on information gathered from class and from Larry, I developed a farts-per-hour equation in which you could predict Larry's next fart to the precise second and appropriately hold your breath. I based a term paper on these findings and aced the class. Nevertheless, I hope you are nothing like Larry.

Regarding Madrid, please tell me as soon as possible when I should arrive and how long I should stay. I need time to buy my airline ticket and pack. Again, should I bring samples of my products with me? If so, which ones would you like to test out? I would appreciate answers because you are my eyes, ears and nose in Africa.

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

I got your mail and thanks for that.I do hope that we will finish this deal by next week so that these idiots will get off my back.I think they are trying to get a peace of the cake but thank God that the funds have left here,nobody can get any informations about it anymore.

Like i informed you ealier the funds has left and city securities were supposed to send you a message today but i had to get them to stop the message because i do not want it to be intercepted.I will get the messages from them first thing tomorrow morning and i will send them to you either by fax because i think it is more safer to send fax in this present situation.

All the informations concerning your trip to SPAIN will be there.Most probably i believe that 2 days is enough for you to finalize everything in Spain and if you have to book your flight make the booking to arrive Spain by Tuesday.I will give you all other information tomorrow as soon as i see the documents.

There is no need for you to take any sample of your products along to Spain because we don't need it there.The samples will be needed when you come to Nigeria which will be as soon as you come from Spain.I have already talked to one company whom i know will be very interested in your products and we have scheduled a meeting between me and them for next week monday.

I will contact you tomorrow with all the informations.

Regards.
Mohammed.

Dear Mr. Bello:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received the three documents you sent and I already have made my flight and hotel arrangements for the trip to Madrid. My flight is United Airlines/Iberia Flight 6274 which departs from Phoenix at 10:55 a.m. on Monday, Feb. 10, and arrives in Madrid at 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 11. I have reserved a room at the Hotel Husa Princesa for the nights of Feb. 11 and Feb. 12.

I have tried unsuccessfully at least 10 times to call Lisa Brown of the Overseas Credit Commission in Madrid. My staff normally dials for me, but I do not want to get them involved in this confidential business opportunity. Since international calls obviously have me quite baffled, can you provide Ms. Brown's e-mail address, or better yet, have Ms. Brown call me?

When will you be arriving in Madrid, Mr. Bello? Perhaps you can pick me up at the airport. By the way, I am extremely happy that a company in Africa is very interested in my products. I also am overjoyed to the point of obscene giddiness that you have scheduled a meeting with them for Monday. Do you believe you have adequate information about the Smelt Slusher, BarfLogs and the Pocket Weasel to make a favorable impression? What is the name of the company? What does the company normally produce or sell? How many years has the company been in business? Do they have a bulimic workforce? Please FedEx me their latest Annual Report ASAP.

Regarding the three documents you sent from City Securities, I noticed that the third one - the final vetting approval from the Minister of Justice of the Federal Republic of Nigeria - contains a terrible error. The third line in the lower right box states a "Regd date" of "29th Febuary 2003." First of all, February is misspelled, but that's not the fatal flaw. There are only 28 days in February, so the 29th of February does not exist!!!! Since this legal document is not binding unless it is accurate, immediately have City Securities repair their shoddy work and send me a new copy. I certainly hope all workers in Nigeria are not incompetent! I must depend on those I hire for the BarfLog factory to vigorously produce a steady and abundant flow of raw materials.

All the best,

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

I just got your mail and i thank you for that.I really would like you to communicate with Oversea Credit Commission in Spain To have them know when you are coming as well as to confirm the appointment.I think it is very important.I have communicated with city securities this morning to have them contact Lisa Brown to contact you because i can,t contact her on my own since i am not the beneficiary of the funds.I am going to check them back by 3pm local time to find out if they got in contact with her as well as their email address.
I will also like to call you on the phone later today,please do provide me with your mobile phone ,incase you are not in the office.

I may not be able to meet you up in Spain because my visa is not yet approved.The embassy told me that travelling to Spain for the first time ,that it takes 3 weeks before the visa is approved.I am going to send a close cousin of mine to meet you up because he has a visa,how about it.

Concerning the company that i want to meet on Monday,we are meeting for me to intimate them about the proposal first,i have a faint idea of the products based on the explaination you gave me in your previous letter.It is only if they signify their interest that i will sort for more informations from you as well as have them contact you,pending your arrival here.

For the errors documents,i never discovered it but i do not think that it is a flaw,rather i think is a typographical error,because we are not in end February,it is supposed to be 29th January.

Please reply as soon as you get this message and let me have your mobile phone number.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

Dear Ms. Brown:

I am glad to finally touch base with you. I also am overjoyed that everything appears to be in order. While I will be leaving for the airport shortly, my phone number is (623) 878-2791. I will be on United Airlines/Iberia Flight 6274, which departs Phoenix at 10:55 a.m. this morning and arrives in Madrid at 7:45 a.m. on Tuesday, February 11. Please see to it that somebody greets me at the airport, if you can. I do not have much time to spare in Madrid because I am scheduled to fly back to Phoenix on Thursday morning. I was to stay at the Hotel Husa Princesa, but now I have tentative reservations for the Hotel Ritz Madrid, because it is a five-star hotel. I have had difficulty with the fax machine, but obviously I will be bringing my passport with me. Anyway, I have attached a recent photo of me so I will be easy to spot at the airport. Also, I do not know how to convert U.S. dollars to Euros, so to be on the safe side I am bringing $15,000 U.S. dollars with me.

All the best, and I'll see you tomorrow.

Please keep me informed.

Regards.
Mohammed Bello.

______________________

Dear Mr. Bello:

I have replied to Ms. Brown and everything appears to be in order. I did get your first mail, but I was away from my office for the weekend. I only have a few moments now because I have to drive 50 miles to the airport for my flight. Anyway, the Smelt Slusher is a higher-speed, industrial strength version of the famous Bass-O-Matic. It slices, dices and purees smelt into a fine and very aromatic blend that is served as malteds at many fast-food restaurants in the U.S. Some of the better restaurants even top it off with whipped cream and an anchovy. Now, Starbucks is thinking about adding it to their product line for the summer. BarfLogs are my leading product. They are home-protection units that are burned in the fireplace to create an olfactory shield that no thief would dare penetrate. I have one-week and two-week sizes of the BarfLog, plus ashtray-compatible BarfNuggets for overnight or short trips. A free can of Glade is provided with each purchase of a BarfLog so that any residual protection can be eliminated upon the traveler's return. The Pocket Weasel is my newest product. In tests it has very effectively clamped down on the hands of pickpockets, thwarting their escape and causing them much anguish. I will be bringing two of these with me to Spain.

Please tell me immediately how your meeting with the company in Africa went. Again, what is the company's name? What did they have to say about my products? Which should we market first and where? Do they foresee any problems. Will they be able to provide an expert bulimic workforce? These are important questions that must be answered.

I will be bringing my laptop with me to Madrid and will eagerly await your e-mail. Remember, Mr. Bello, I depend on you greatly for information because you are my eyes, ears and nostrils in Africa.

Brad Christensen

My dear Mr. Bello:

What in the world is going on??? I am in Madrid, at the Hotel Husa Princesa waiting to be contacted. I was left at the airport to fend for myself when nobody arrived to greet me. Finally, after 10 hours of waiting,I got a taxi to the Hotel Ritz Madrid, but they had given my room to some swine who happened to show up and flash his credit card before I arrived. Finally I arrived at the Hotel Princesa, which at best is only a four star hotel!! I ask you, Mr. Bello, are you dealing with clowns who cannot keep their word?

And I also am extremely upset with you for your apparent refusal to provide a report about your meeting with the company in Africa that may be interested in my products. What products are they most interested in? What obstacles, if any, do they envision? What is the company's name? Do they have an experienced bulimic workforce? What did they say about each of my products? Please answer my questions and have somebody get in touch with me in room 426 at the Hotel Princesa. My patience is growing wafer thin!

Dear Brad,

I just got your mail now.I am sorry for the inconvinences.I am concerned as you are because throughout yesterday i kept on wondering as to where you are.I was forced to call your office in USA but told that you are not in,although i did not drop my name.I do not want you to be upset about the whole thing.It's just because i was not able to come there myself,otherwise i would have waited for you in the airport so that this problem would not arrive.But i think you have my phone number,you would have called me from there,atleast somebody would have dailed it for you if you do not know how to dial,since all the while that you were waiting,why didn't you call the oversea credit commission in Spain,you have their number as well.I contacted City security this morning to find out from them what is going on and they confirmed to me that Mrs Brown was in the hotel yesterday but they told her that you have not there and she called several times and they said you are not there.I will try and contact city security immediately and have them contact Mrs Brown so that they will come and pick you up but in the interim,try and call their phone lines.

Let me hear from you or you try and call me.Give me also the hotel telephone number so that i can call you.

Regards.
Mohammed.

Dear Brad,

The meeting that i supposed have with the company did not hold because one of the Directors that i am supposed to meet with travelled down to the northern part of the conutry and yesterday and today are public holidays here because of the muslim festival.The meeting will now hold on FRIDAY being 14th Feb by 3 .30pm.Mr Brad you have to be rest assured that i will do my best to get a suitable company that will do business with you and it has to be a multi national company.The one that i am supposed to have the meeting with is called UAC.They are into fast foods and they have well over 350 branches throughout the country,you can compared them to America macdonalds.They are into other varities of products.

The point is that there are lots of them,and we can make more progressive impact with them as soon as you arrive here.Let me hear from you.

Regards.
Mohammed.

______________________

Dear Mr. Bello:

I am very upset and disheartened by this trip. I am at the Ramon y Cajal Hospital in Madrid after an accident last night. As I was in the hotel garage, approaching my rental car, something horrible happened. I forgot to switch a cerain appliance to "off" before I reached in my pants for my keys. The Pocket Weasel clamped down full force, its razor-sharp jaws crushing my hand. I was brought screaming to the hospital, where they used an iron cutter and a sledgehammer to disengage the Weasel. I have several broken bones and much nerve damage. Of course I blame all of this on your people because if I had been picked up at the airport I would never have rented a car.

Upon my release from the hospital I intend to go directly to the airport and flee this dreadful and dangerous land!

ATTENTION: COMPANY'S CHAIRPERSON/CEO
REQUEST FOR BUSINESS AND COOPERATION

I am Engr. John Makilik, the Chairman, and Board of Trustees of the Petroleum Resources Committee, PRC. Before I lay bare the details of this proposal, I would like to intimate you with the terms of reference of this committee. The PRC is the presidium oil and gas committee of Nigeria charged with the following responsibilities to, among other functions, monitor the oil and gas revenue accruing to the federation account; direct and supervise the processing of information, applications and conducting project appraisals; and to provide estimates and projections for budgets, work plans, scheduling methodology, bid documents and to prioritize, distribute, according to specific guidelines and award contracts for the development of oil and gas projects to both indigenous an foreign multinational companies that are registered to carry out business in the Nigeria Oil & Gas sector and recommends for payment to the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) or its authority upon completion of con

tract projects. The PRC depends on government subventions and budgetary allocations for its operations and usually send quarterly performance report of the oil & gas industry to the FMF and the Department of Petroleum Resources, DPR. Following the breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of last fiscal quarter of,2002, the total project contracts awarded to foreign companies amounted to the sum of 736million US dollars. The PRC, in conjunction with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC), has been conducting a verification exercise in batches to pay off foreign contractors who have been owned various sums of money for contract projects executed in 2001/2002. The crux of this letter is that the Petroleum Resources Committee (PRC) masterminded the inflation of some, these contracts awarded last year. Consequently, in the course of disbursements, this department has been able to accumulate the sum of 38.6million US dollars being the over-invoiced sum of the

contract worth awarded. This money is currently in a suspense account of the FMF account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC) and has already been approved for payment in the supplementary budget allocation by the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and waiting to be immediately wired out of the country. Hence, my duty as the Coordinator of this project is to solicit your unalloyed co-operation and assistance to enable us pull out this funds into any foreign account owned by your good-self and covered by a foreign company's name to be used. Your co-operation in this business is essential, because members of the committee involved in this business are personalities who have attained impeccable track records of probity in the Civil Service of Nigeria and as such are not permitted to operate Foreign Account in discharging their functions as members of the Petroleum Resources Committee (PRC). NOTE: This business is 100% full proof, genuine and risk-free. Hence the need for S

trict and Absolute Confidentiality till the end is All Important. Furthermore, sharing of this fund after remittance into your provided bank account will be done as follows: 70% for us here in Nigeria, 25% for you the account owner and 5% to cover as reimbursement, any expenses which may be incurred in the course of, transferring the funds into your account. Confirming your faithfulness to this entreaty and your unalloyed cooperation to consolidate this transaction as proposed to you, please endeavor to reply immediately with your signature or contact/postal address; telephone and fax lines for further briefing. We estimate that this project will last for 14 days only given your fullest co-operation. All inquiries should be directed to the undersigned and I await your reply immediately. I thank you for your attention and anticipated co-operation. In Good Health and Kind Regards.

Yours truly,
ENGR. JOHN MAKILIK (MNIQS)

Dear Mr. Makilik:

I am very interested in your proposed business transaction. Please tell me more.

Also, I have a proposal for you. You see, I am a successful inventor of consumer products that are advertised extensively on cable television. My company is one of the fastest growing businesses in the United States. Now I want to market my products in Africa. However, I know very little about Africa and would only be able to guess which of my products would be in demand there. If I described my products to you, would you agree to tell me which ones would sell the best in Africa? Last week I asked another African, a Dr. Motombo, to help me, but he failed to answer my questions.

Dear Mr. Makilik:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for your rapid response and your agreement to assist me in marketing my products in Africa.

My proper name: Brad Christensen
Home Address: 236 Ronco Boulevard, Gila Bend, AZ 85123
Phone: (623) 878-2791
Fax: (602) 978-2414

My banking account: UR2-DUM-8941867211
Bank: Ron Popeil Memorial Bank
Bank address: 4227 W. Billy Mays Way, Enid, OK, USA 32288

Here are my products and a brief description of each. Should you require more information about any product please ask:

- Smelt Slusher, similar to the famous Bass-O-Matic, but much more efficient in preparing smaller fish for consumption as malteds at fast food restaurants.

- Exac-Toe Clipper, clips fingernails, toenails and occasionally unwanted skin. Looks and works like an automatic pencil sharpener, but has a tungsten steel blade.

- Agent Orange Cleaner, industrial-strength cleaning product that dissolves anything and everything without the fuss.

- Presto-Itz-Gon, disappearing spray paint that effectively thwarts even the most energetic efforts of graffiti artists. Named Product of the Year last year by Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio.

- Where's The Spud Poof Chips, zero-calory potato chips for dieters. When chewed, each chip transforms into a small burst of methane gas that ideally is expelled through the mouth.

- BarfLogs, home-protection units that are burned in the fireplace when one is away, producing an olfactory blanket of protection no thief would dare invade. The BarfLog comes in one-week and two-week sizes. Then we have BarfNuggets for overnight or weekend trips. The BarfLog is my leading seller in the United States.

But wait, there's more...

By combining two well-established products - the Pocket Fisherman and the Garden Weasel - I have created my newest product, the Pocket Weasel. It is a wonderful gadget that catches pickpockets before they can run off.

I would like to start off by marketing three of my products in Africa. Any feedback you can give on which products would be in greatest demand will be greatly appreciated. Last year alone, my business doubled in revenues to $22 million. Some Wall Street analysts are projecting enormous profits in the years ahead. They say my company will be the next Enron!

I am eager to finalize our transaction because the money I obtain from it will go directly into the reseach and development of products not yet imagined!

Awaiting your immediate response.

Brad Christensen

Mr. Brad,

Sequel to the telephone conversation we had some while ago, please acknowledge receipt of this mail below. This is the mail I sent you in the past and I am resending it to you with the view to restarting this transaction using your name like you have proposed. You have to establish a company name that we are going to use to register and apply for the release of the funds. Though this will cost me more money to re-register your new firm for I have spent through my nose to have gotten your firm registered in the past as an ordinary civil servant that I am. What can I do? I want to make this happen for us all with yoiur cooperationa and assistance. This transaction means everything me. As for your products, I still maintain that they are "Revolutionary" and there is a huge market for them down here in Africa. People will jump at your products immediately without thinking twice. I think this will be better discussed when you call me back. My advise is that your products will SELL big time in Africa but we have to conclude this transaction first.

....

Dear Brad:

To get your company registered, please follow the procedure below:

You will find enclosed a copy of the specimen application that is titled Text 'A'. Carefully type the information on your company letterhead paper and After you have made out the letter you will return them to me by Fax or by e-mail attachment using .doc extension or any other relevant extension.

Upon which I will then make application to the Board of Trustees of the Petroleum Resources Committee. When we receive this information from you, your company will be dully registered with the NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION, (NNPC) under category æCÆ contractors and copies of the paper work will be faxed to you for careful assessment to show source of funds. This will be so because the LNG/NNPC is the government parastatal that the contract was executed for.

Hoping to hear from you soon.

Yours truly,

John Makilik (MNIQS)

Dear Brad,

Good day my friend. I have resent you the mail on what to do so as to get the funds wired outside Nigeria into your account in the USA. In light with this, I am sending you a picture of my self and my wife. The picture was taken last week sunday in church at a thanksgiving service mass.

I want youto know that I am real and so is this transaction. I have scanned the picture for you to know who john is and also, my permanent residential address is:

14, Giwa Saka Street,
off Randle Ave, Orile Oshodi,
Lagos State.
Nigeria.

There is certainly a great & bright future ahead of us. We have not been brought together by coincidence but by destiny. We have to get this transaction on the way ASAP with your new company name that you will establish.

I will be waiting for your call as soon as you finish going through my mails.

Humbly waiting for your call.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and assistance.

Best regards,

Dear Mr. Makilik:

Thanks for the photo of you and your Chi-Chi. What a charming pair you make. Is it one of your customs to wear sunglasses in church? Here in the U.S. we wear them outside church. I am thinking your way is better. I fall asleep all the time in church, but with sunglasses nobody will know. I have attached a recent photo of me. I will continue to try to call you, but so far today I have not derived the correct combination for an international call. Please bear with me, for I shall attempt to dial all possible prefixes.

Brad Christensen

______________________

Dear John:

I have tried dialing your number for more than 10 hours straight, but to no avail. Because of my unfamiliarity with placing international calls I have attempted all sorts of prefixes, suffixes and prepositions - more than 10,000 to be exact! My fingers are blistered and aching and my participles are dangling. I cannot understand your insane insistence on me calling you when you are the one who has mastered the inner workings of the global dialing system! Give me some time to soak my fingers and participles, then please call me.

All the best,

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

Good day to you. How is everybody doing in the family? I sincerely hope that all is hale and hearty. I am very happy to have spoken with you and also to have received the application letter from you. I will swing into action on Monday with this transaction. I am happy to know that you believed me that your products are revolutionary. But indeed and in truth, they are.

Just keep your fingers crossed and wait for when the time comes for you to see the tremendous sales your products WILL make in the African market. It is just unfortunate that there is political instability in Nigeria presently due to the forth coming elections here. Just in case you don't know, we just just started practicing civil rule lately and Nigeria is still currently practicing its nascent democracy and I think it is understandable that things will be like this for some time due to the over 30 years of military dictatorship that we've had. Once the elections are over, normalcy will definitely resume.

My wife, ChiChi was wearing sunglasses because she had an inflamation on her left eye as at then but it is gone now. There is sincerely no rule/law preventing us from wearing sunglasses to church. Maybe it's because we are a third world nation. I don't know! You actually made me notice that!!

I'm sorry to learn that you have blisters on your fingers already. All I think you need to do is dial 001-234-1-7764954 and you should get through one time. "001" is the USA's international dialling access code.

I want you to call me on Monday, 24/2/2003 for updates.

I humbly look forward to hearing from you on monday next week

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Best regards

John Makilik

______________________

Dear John:

The blisters are gone today, but I still haven't been able to get through. Something must be dreadfully wrong with the long-distance flux capacitor in the phone line transmission system. Two weeks ago, you couldn't make local person-to-person calls, as only person-to-amphibian dialing was possible. You'd think the phone company would get its act together. Never, however, is there ever a snafu in their billing system!

Will travel be required of me as we finalize this transaction? If so, I'd like to come to Africa so I can work on establishing my business there. Do you have an African Stock Exchange where Brad Christensen Inventions can be listed? If not, I suppose the Yellow Pages will do. Also, I am very interested in launching an aggressive television and radio advertising campaign in Africa. However, I need somebody to brag loudly and shamelessly about my products in the ads. Since I cannot speak any African dialects, will you agree to be my advertising pitchman, Mr. Makilik?

Brad Christensen

______________________

Dear John:

Why haven't you responded to my last e-mail and why haven't I heard from you in the past week? You said you would "swing into action" with the transaction on Monday, but now it's Saturday and you haven't updated me. Also, there is something wrong with your phone system because I haven't been able to get through. I remember you mentioned something about political instability in Nigeria. I hope you are alright and have not been beheaded or anything. Please respond to this e-mail and please let me know if you will agree to be my pitchman for the aggressive radio and television advertising campaign I am planning. Also, please let me know if such a campaign is feasible.

Brad Christensen

Dear Mr. Brad,

Good afternoon my friend. How has your week been? I hope it has been rewarding. How is the family doing? I hope all is well.

I must say I am sorry for not communicating with you before now. I have been un impromptu official assignment and simultaneously, I have been monitoring the registration processes of your firm. I was ONLY waiting to give you the big news. The registration of your firm has been successfully concluded on Friday officially like I gathered from my agents!!

I am waiting to get copies of the registration papers of your firm so that I can fax them to you for your perusal. I should get the documents by Monday and as soon as I get them, I will fax them to you immediately.

There is NOTHING wrong with my phone. It is working just perfectly. Like I have told you in the past, dial 011-234-1-7764954 and you will be speaking with me. Do this on Monday when you get the documents I going to fax to you.

As regards the grand exposure for your products, I will be your pitchman. I will put you through and stand by you all the way but the time is not now because of the present political instability in Nigeria. Even the British government has warned its citizens not to come to Nigeria UNTIL after the up coming elections in Nigeria. There is already fighting in some parts of the country as all the parties are madly gearing up for the elections, Hence, this is why you have to wait until after the elections.

Our marketing plans for your products MUST be put on hold UNTIL after the elections. Whatever plans you have to market your products, I want you to be rest assured that "IT IS ALL POSSIBLE". But sincerely, it has to wait until after the elections here if you and I want it to succeed. I want you to know that you are going to make a great success with your revolutionary products here in Africa with big time TV & Radio commercials but all has to wait until after the elections. I am safe and sound and remember that you are the custodian of our funds. So I have to protect you well just like I would to myself.

I humbly look forward to your call on Monday 3rd March 2003.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation.

Best regards,

Dear Brad,

My dear friend, how is your day and how is the family? I am very sure that everything is fine. I am very happy that the registration of your new company, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd has been successfully concluded and it has come to a very successfull and resounding success. Right now, your company, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd is a full fledged contractor with the NNPC accorded all the respect and recognition of a contractor with the NNPC. Your company now have its various files in its name, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd lodged with the NNPC, the LNG, and several other government parastatals/establishments that are in one way or the other connected with the payment of the US$38.6m into your nominated bank account. There is a lot of paper work that goes with the registration processes and right now, a whole lot of these papers and documents are in your various files with the various government bodies. All these is necessary so that the processing of the payment in favour of your company will be done very quickly and without any hitches. The documents in your files just like any other contractor will be employed in processing of your payment into your nominated bank account.

The registration was actually concluded last week Friday officially and I recieved copies of the registration papers just like I told you and I want you to be on the alert now because at present, your files would have commenced its journey from tables to tables, from office to office, from one government body to another in its sourjourn to the doors of the DRC, i.e. the Debt Reconciliation Committee.

Your files will move in the course of its processing from the PRC, NNPC to several other offices and then finally to the desks of the DRC. At the office of the DRC, the payment will be approved and imediately after this, the DRC will establish contact with you for wire confirmation. This is the normal process and I want to implore you to be on the alert at all times. You have to ensure that your telephone and fax lines are working perfectly well and will remain so until after the funds have been wired into your account. This is because the DRC will definitely establish contact with you anytime from now and they will do so either by telephone or by fax or by both means. We (Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd) have satisfied all the requirements of the Federal Goverment of Nigeria and your company is fully and well established here in Nigeria as operational and demanded by the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Your share of the funds I am sure will be of immense help to you in extending your research work to producing more revolutionary products. I have been talking to some people already about your products and from the questionare I have passed around, it is obvious just like I had expected that your BarfLogs and the Pocket Weasel that catches pick pockets before they can run will be highest selling. The Agent Orange Cleaner is another of your product that I think will make the rounds here in Africa. I believe with time other products will claim their positions. But to sell all these products, we will have to register your company again with the necessary authorities, with the Corporate Affairs Commission, the Nigerian Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), the sales license office before you can be allowed to operate and sell your products here in Nigeria. The big advantage here is that once you are registered here in Nigeria, The pioneer & giant of Africa, we will start with the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) trade countries and afvance further from there. With Nigerian papers, you will trade freely in those countries about 15 of them.

I am appealing to you to offer me your full cooperation at all times, follow my instructions and advise religeously and adhere strictly to the instructions I give you at any point in time.

I am an ordinary civil servant and I have a lot of responsibilities on me regardless of the fact that I am grossly underpaid. I want to better my life, and my future with my share of the funds we want to transfer.

I am ONLY going to become rich after the funds have been wired into your account. Then I will have rest of mind. The financial situation here is almost as dead and is nothing to be happy about nor hope on. The extended family system is another problem that I am facing and because the situation is fast getting out of hand and becoming rather dangerous and threathning to my future, I decided to embarked on this laudable and flawless transaction. Life is VERY HARD down here and it is the same with me because I am in this country and equally affected by the ills of our ever dwindling economy. Right now, I am living from hand to mouth and I only EXIST by the grace of the almighty God.

Please assure me that our money is safe in your hands and that we are with the right people. Reassure me that I am not making a mistake doing business with you. I don't want to be cheated and not with the hard earned resources
I have spent on this transcation to have come this far. Although I have a high office and I am well respected here, my financial status is nothing to be happy about nor proud of and I am sure that it is almost the same for most civil servants the world over and I have said I want a better life after retirement, hence, my reasons for embarking on this transaction.

In fact, I have plans to give some money from my share of the funds to charity. I have plans to donate to charity and I will donate to charity from my share of th e funds. This I belive is necessary to salvage the lot of people who are impoverished in my country, Nigeria and who find it hard to get what is supposed to be basic necessecities of life which continuosly elude them. I have great plans to help some of these people I can reach and touch in my own
little way. I belive strongly that it is necassary for me to reach out to them and offer some help which I know will be of immense emancipation of thier bad situation.

Like I have told you, the DRC will establish contact with you anytime from now and please make sure that your telephone and fax lines are working perfectly well at all times. Immediately the DRC reaches you DO NOT hessitate to call me immediately so that I will advise you on the next step to take and guide you accordingly.

I want you to feel free to always call me for communication is vital in this transaction and we are at the tail end of this transaction. I have been able to run an extension of my phone line into my house, so you can call me at any time of the day. I have been able to achive that with the respect that is attached to my office as the chairman of the PRC.

Always feel free to call me.

I will be expecting your call at any point in time.

Thank you for your anticipated cooperation and assistance.

Yours sincerely,

John Makilik

Dear John:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received your two faxes - the Certificate of Incorporation for Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd. with the Corporate Affairs Commisson of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and the Certificate of Registration with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Unfortunately both have been misdated - March 10, 1996 for the Commission document and August 19, 1998 for the NNPC registration. These are glaring errors that would immediately render both documents invalid and as useless as Martha Stewart stock. Can you please have the two entities correct their errors and then fax me new documents?

I am incredibly pleased by your enthusiasm for my products, but you have not yet agreed to be my radio and TV advertising pitchman. You will be paid handsomely and receive much attention and notoriety across all of Africa as you demonstrate my BarfLogs, Smelt Slusher, Agent Orange, Pocket Weasel, and Exac-Toe Clipper on camera. I might mention, at this juncture, that our benefits package does not include medical coverage. My planned saturation TV coverage will make you a big star in your homeland. You will be in constant demand for autographs from daytime TV viewers in search of a life. What do you say, John? If you agree, we will need an advertising slogan. Do you have any ideas for a good one?

Brad Christensen

Dear Brad,

Good morning my friend. I am pleased to learn that you got my faxes. I want to point out here that the registration dates are NOT errors. The registration of your firm has been backdated to cover the period before and after the contract for the US$38.6m was executed. That puts your company on a very strong foundation and also shows that your company is well rooted in the Nigerian economy and that you have long maintained your existense here in Nigeria as a friend of the Nigerian Economy. Thus I want you to fully understand that those dates are not in error and that is what we need to have your firm on a sound footing and well rested on livingstone. Those Certificates with you are very VALID and I want you to keep it very confidential and safely too. Now that your firm, Brad Christensen Inventions Ltd has been fully registered with the NNPC, I want you to be on the alert because the DRC will soon establish contact with you for wire confirmation of our funds, US$38.6m. Make sure that all your lines of communication are thrown open for easy and effective communication with the DRC.

For your sake, I will be your pitchman. I hereby agree to be your pitchman to sell your products here in Africa. I want you to call me immediately you get this mail so that we can discuss better on this and we work out our agreement for the sale of your products.

I will be waiting for your call ASAP.

Thank you for your good gesture and anticipated cooperation.

Best regards,

John Makilik

Dear John:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Thanks for the assurance that the wrong dates were intentional in order to make Brad Christensen Inventions, Ltd. to appear to be a well-established company in Nigeria with years of success behind it. However, won't my company now be required by the authorities to pay years of back taxes on profits we never made? Won't we also be asked to pay for electricity, gas, phones and water we never used? The back-dating seems to give your government and utility companies a lever to extract a great deal of money from me. And what about all those years of unpaid Chamber of Commerce dues? That alone could be a back-breaker. What can we do to ensure the back-dating doesn't cause enormous problems for us?

I say "us" because you have accepted my offer to serve as my advertising pitchman and have shown great enthusiasm for my products. I also intend to appoint you as a Vice President of "our" company when it begins operations in Africa. In that capacity, you will head up our marketing effort and serve on our Board of Directors. As a first assignment, please come up with an effective advertising slogan for my products. The first radio and TV ads will feature the BarfLogs, so you might tailor your slogan to fit this product. Thanks in advance for your help with the slogan.

Regarding the DRC, I still have not heard from them.

All the best,

Brad Christensen

Hello Brad,

Good day to you my friend. I am sorry for the late response to your mail. I was away on an official engagement. I am writing to know if you have heard from the DRC.

Please update me ASAP.

I think it is wise that you come to Nigeria and see things for your self as per the resounding success your products will make. I advise you to go and apply for visa to come to Nigeria but Please note that you HAVE to apply as a tourist. This is way there will be no preying eyes on you because you are the custodian of our US$38.6m and youhave to be well protected. As per the government/taxes/charges/ e.t.c, we have all that taken care off. I will brief you when I call you.

You should get samples of your products ready too. Please always remember that when coming, you have to apply as tourist.

best regards,

John Makilik

Dear John:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. I received a "Final Funds Release Order" from the DRC yesterday. It says I must come forward within 7 working days to sign for the funds and pay $13,250 to the Federal Board of Inland Revenue Service. Excluding Saturday and Sunday, that gives me until Wednesday, March 19, to apply for the tourist visa and travel to Nigeria. I will obtain the visa and make my flight arrangements immediately.

Frankly, though, I am beginning to question your sincerity and dedication as the newly appointed Vice President of Brad Christensen Inventions, Ltd. Mr. Makilik, I have asked you twice to develop an advertising slogan for my products and still you have not come up with anything. It is impossible for me to develop an effective slogan for Africa. That is because I do not yet understand the fears, insecurities and emotional frailties of your people -- the stuff that all good ad campaigns must prod, stoke, and intensify to move unnecessary products off the shelves.

Mr. Makilik, I ask you in your newly appointed role as Vice President for Marketing in Africa to immediately develop an advertising slogan, plus a storyline and rough-draft script for our first television ad. The ad should focus on BarfLogs, but it also can introduce the Pocket Weasel, Agent Orange, Smelt Slusher, Where's The Spud vanishing potato chips and other products. All the best,

Dear John:

I have obtained the tourist's visa and have scheduled the flight for tonight. It is American Airlines/Air France flight 55/852 arriving in Lagos, Nigeria at 5:20 p.m. in Saturday, March 15. I will be departing from Nigeria on Thursday, March 20. This will give us plenty of time to conduct our affairs. Please ensure that hotel reservations are made.

I remain very concerned that you have not e-mailed me regarding your assignment to come up with an effective advertising slogan for our products. Saying a few words over the phone doesn't work for me because of the bad connections. I need something written, not spoken. In fact, it appears that you have lost interest in my business startup in Africa. This concerns me greatly and has me questioning my decision to fly there. Please respond via e-mail with a slogan and storyline for our first commercial today. All the best,

Brad Christensen

Mr. Brad,

I am very sorry that I have not responded to your
mails before now. The internet connection has been
distrupted and I have not been able to access my mail.

I am still currently trying hard against all odds to
cancel an impromptu official engagement in Warri,
> Delta State at the Oil refinery facility there because
of some contractors doing shordy & unsatisfactory jobs
there. In the process, I have also been shortlisting
media houses that we are going to start with. I have
also been making arrangements with News papers that we
will be working with too. We will be doing online
advertising too with some of the news dailies in
Nigeria for online sales.

I must tell you that it is expensive to get TV
commercial slots & radio jingles and I want you to be
well prepared for that.

I am sorry that I will not be able to disclose much
for now but I want you to be rest assured that your
products will make a resounding sales here in Nigeria
to strat with. I am also very concerned that I am not
a professional in the advertisment sector, thus, I am
talking to some professionals who should be the best
to do the job.

I have a slogan which goes:

Here comes the revolutionary products making a debut
appearance in Africa starting with the Giant of
Africa, Nigeria.

"E wa wo", "bi a nu le", "make una come see oo" (some
local dialets which means, come and see for
yourselves, come and see this wonderful products. We
all need it).

We can make a very good improvement on this and if
possible refine the slogans well to achieve resounding
market impact for your products.

You have to sincerely understand that I am a civil
servant. I DO NOT want your products' sales to flop. I
want wonderful sales for your products like you well
know. If you agree with me, we need professionals who
majors is advertisment and we will give them a
guideline of what we want and we will supervise the
job to ensure a resounding success for the
"Revolutionary Products". We will start with the
barflogs, pocket wisels and the other products will
also be introduced simultaneously.

I will be sending my son, Steve to assist you and take
you to our Guest house when your flight touch down and
expect a hospitable reception. He is nice and he knows
much about this transaction because he is my best
amongst my children though he is 27.

I want to wish you a wonderful flight here.

I'll send my people to pick you up at the airport then
we will meet later.

Best regards,

John Makilik

Dear Mr. Brad,

Where are you now? I was at the airport pick you up but you were not on the American Airlines/Air France flight 55/852 which touched down at about 5:30p.m today. I was there waiting for you and you were not on the flight. I even checked the manifest but your name, Brad Christensen was not on the manifest.

What happened? Did you miss your flight? I have accomodation reserved and all logistics worked out all for you and you were not on the flight. What could have happened?

Mail me or call me immediately you get this mail to let know what went wrong. I am very concerned thus, get back to me immediately.

Very concerened and worried,

John Makilik

Dear John:

Hi, Brad Christensen here. Sorry about my inability to contact you earlier, but I have been in the hospital the last two days undergoing a battery of emergency tests. Upon hearing a report of a new and deadly illness, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), I cancelled my flight and rushed myself to the hospital on Friday. After an EKG, CAT Scan, blood tests, colonoscopy, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and a PAP smear, it was determined that I merely had a severe case of the sniffles.

Now, for two reasons, we must indefinitely delay our meeting. First, the World Health Organization yesterday issued a Worldwide Travel Advisory. (Go to http://www.who.int/csr/don/2003_03_15/en/ ) Secondly, and more importantly, I have redirected all efforts of Brad Christensen Inventions, Ltd. toward developing a cure for SARS. So for now, all our operations, research and otherwise, are being devoted to what we have dubbed "Project Phlegm."

Once we develop a cure, I will contact you and we can get our African marketing plans back on track. In the meantime, please do not disrupt my concentration by contacting me. This is a critical time in which the health of the world is dependent upon my full and undivided attention to Project Phlegm. Please understand that I sincerely appreciate all your efforts up to this point. Just be patient and realize that Africa must endure a few more months without BarfLogs, the Pocket Weasel and my other products.

To our global health,

Brad Christensen
Project Phlegm
