- ROBERT:
- Dr. Suleman,
What delight your letter brings to my heart! Rest assured, I do not
have, as you put it so eloquently, an "atom of fear" about this
transaction. I will be happy to act as the next of kin for this poor
deceased man; after all, are we all not brothers, if you dig down deep
enough into our common and noble ancestry? Who knows but that you and I
might have some distant relation--perhaps cousins once removed? Tell me,
do you have any relatives in Oklahoma?
What a lot of wine 30% of 42 million will buy! You see, Dr.
Suleman, my colleagues and I at the JCI are great connisseurs of some of
the finer fortified wines: Thunderbird, Wild Irish Rose, MD 20/20 and the
like. Oh, but it is a drain on the pocketbook! With our share of the
funds from this transaction our humble Journal can begin constriction of
our long-dreamt-of fortified wine cellar! Just imagine the delight my
colleagues and I will experience when we can sample a bottle of Tunderbird
not out of paper bags in the parking lot but rather in the damp, musty
regions of the earth! There will be many parties in which the Thunderbird
and Velveeta flow freely. The JCI will be a veritable land of milk and
honey (or, rather, fortified wines and the finest processed cheese food
money can buy). As our esteemed benefactor, you will naturally be the
guest of honor at our ground-breaking ceremony! You will, of course, need
to wear fancy dress, and, if possible, a big jeweled crown for the
festivities. If you don't have a crown, please let me know at your
earliest convenience and I can procure a handsome paper one from our local
Burger King.
Thank you, Dr. Suleman, for your generous offer! Please respond quickly
and God Bless!
Robert H.
- SULEMAN :
- Mr. Robert,
I admire your poetic and creative writing but consider it out of place
for a business transaction . I am taking of a rare opportunity which if
properly harnessed will turn one's life around.
The money is stated in my proposal we left behind by a customer who was an
oil merchant and who died with his family in a private plane crash.
No next of kin was surfaced and after sometime, the money will revert to
the bank. All that is required of you is presenting yourself as a next of
kin while the relevant particulars will be send to you.
Because myself and my colleagues are involved, you will be properly
guided.
I will therefore appreciate it if you could write confirming your interest
on otherwise
I hope to read form you as I furnish you with other details.
Have a nice day.
Dr. Suleman Lukman
- ROBERT
-
Dr. Suleman--
Perhaps you misinterpreted my earlier message, which, believe me, was
meant in all seriousness. While I do appreciate you labeling my message
'poetic' and 'creative' rest assured I meant everything I said. So, please note that we are indeed interested in your proposal and look forward to hearing from you at the earliest opportunity.
Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
I am a practical and straight forward person with an eye for business
opportunities. This transaction if seriously pursued can be concluded
within Seven Bank Working Days or thereabout.
I will therefore want to introduce you to a Lawyer who will apply to the
Bank for the release of the funds and tidy up all documentations relating
to this transaction. The Lawyer must however not be aware of the details
of this transaction since he may want to be part of it.
You will need to furnish me with your Private Telephone and Fax Numbers,
Bank Names & Address, and the Account Number the money will be remitted
into.
How soon this transaction is concluded is therefore dependent on you.
Let be committed in this once in a life time opportunity.
I await yours response.
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Lukman Suleman.
- ROBERT
-
Dr. Suleman--
I'm currently in the process of setting up an account into which these
funds can be deposited, as well as a private fax number so we may conduct our business with the utmost privacy. Who is the lawyer you wish me to
speak with?
Eagerly awaiting your reply,
Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
You are gradually beginging to win the confidence of my colleagues who are
initially skeptical to do this business with you judging by your first
letter. Now I will go into details so that we can conclude swiftly.
Th Name of the Lawyer is BARRISTER JUBRIL HASSAN, with Chambers at 55A
MARYLAND AVENUE, LOME-TOGO His email address is:-
(barristerjubril@yahoo.com)
and operate in other West African Countries
like; Chana, Benin Republic, Nigeria and Cameroon.
Send him an email requesting his services in applying for and transfering
the funds of your Late Relative "MR.SYLVESTER WILLIAMS) who died with his
immediate family in a Plane Crash on 25th November, 1997. The sum is in
International Bank of Africa, LOME-TOGO.
Tell him you will pay him his professional fees as soon as the funds is
remitted. Since the Lawyer will end up in my department, every other
process will be faciliated to achieve immediate result.
Don't forget that the Lawyer will handle the processing on your behalf as
the NEXT OF KIN OF MR. SYLVESTER WILLIAMS. This is important because if I
unduely present myself or my colleagues, it will raise suspicion on the
transaction.
Do remember time is of the essence of this transaction. so do act
timeonsly. The fax, Banking Particulars are very important, so try and
make them available.
Have a wonderful day,
Dr. Suleman Lukman
- ROBERT
- (time to contact "barrister Jubril", obviously the same
person)
:
Barrister Jubril,
I am contacting you in an effort to claim funds that were in the prior
possession of Mr. Sylvester Williams, my deceased relative, as I am his
next of kin. Mr. Williams died with his immediate family in a Plane Crash
on 25th November, 1997, and I am his only surviving relative. The sum is
currently in the International Bank of Africa, Lome, Togo. Naturally, I
will pay professional fees as soon as the funds are remitted.
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Robert
- ROBERT
- Dr. Suleman--
I contacted barrister Jabril and am now waiting for a response. What
should I do now?
Waiting for your advice,
Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
I am delighted to learn that you have contacted Barrister Jubril Hassan. I
am sure he will come to the bank for enquires where they will give him
further details but would pretend I do not know you. This will further
give it more confidentiality. While you relating with him act as if you do
not know me. Questions you don't have answers to, refer to me first for
clarifications before replying.
Barrister Jubril Hassan is an International Lawyer and a specialist on
PROBATE MATTERS I am made to understand he has Chambers in most West
African. In case he ask you how you got to know him, let him know that a
golden fish has no hinding place and that one of his client gave you the
contact. I want us to use him because with his reputation most things will
not be required.
At the rate we are progressing, the funds should be out in a matter of
days.
I am a Phd. Holder in Political Economics and currently pursueing a
Part-time Programme in Law because I have the ambition to end up as the
Director General of this Bank.
This is partly why I keep emphasising confidentiality and secrecy of this
transaction. I do not want my ambition jeoparadized.
As soon as the Lawyer comes, I will send you a mail notifying you of our
discussion.
Finally, respond quickly to mails to enable us conclude fast.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Suleman Lukman.
- JUBRIL
- Dear Robert,
Thanks for your mail of 13th August 2002. I understood you well but the
question is How did you get my contact?.
However, I have gone a stop a head by visiting the Bank your mentioned.
There I met One Mrs. Craio and Dr Suleman and others, who assisted me with
some valuable information.
There I discovered that your Late Uncle left behind $42 MILLION USD and an
interest of $3MILLION USD has accreted on the sum. I have also informed
the officials of the Bank orally that I will apply for the release of the
funds but until I have known my position with you.
Now I will like you to note the following:-
I am going to depose to an Affidavit on your behalf in respect of the
claims.
I will make an Official Application to the Bank for the release of the
funds.
Arrangement from the High Court to procure Probate Certificate.
Please, you will furnish me with the following details:
Your Full Names,
Home Address
Telephone/Fax Numbers.
Bank Names & Address.
Account Number.
Bank Address, Telephone/Fax Numbers.
State your exact Relationship with the deceased.
Robert, It is not natural, it is not our standard practice nor is it part
of the Legal etiquette only after the entire brief had been concluded. I
do not want to refuse this breif on this condition but I would like us to
agree on the following:-
A Standard Agreed/Deed but put in place between you and my Office to be
remunerated actually immediately on the release of the funds.
That a Professional fee of One (1%) of the entire sum of $45MILLION shall
be paid to my office at the said period.
That an Immediate Consultation fees of $26,000 USD be paid to us to enable
us tidy up the Court Process, like the Affidavits/Oaths, Stamp Duties on
our Application, Procurement of Probate Certificate and the unavoidable
P.R.O's to the process.
Your response will determine any further course of action.
Yours truly,
JUBRIL HASSAN (ESQ)
- ROBERT
- $26,000! Time to take up this matter with Dr. Suleman!
Dr. Suleman--
I hope you are doing well! I wanted to let you know that I received
a communication from Barrister Jubril Hassan this morning and he wants a
$26,000 consultation fee! While I understand that lawyers are never
cheap, this fee does seem a bit excesive, so I wanted to check with you
and see if you thought this was a reasonable request.
Dr. Suleman, how well do you know this Barrister Jubril? Now that
we've had the chance to correspond for awhile I feel I know you and can
trust you in any matter. I have no doubt that your dealings are above
board and that you are an honest, God-fearing sort of man. However, I
have my suspicions about Barrister Jubril--do you think this man may have
some idea of our transactions? $26,000 is a lot of money! Fortunately, I
have that much on hand if you feel that he is indeed a trustworthy man,
but I wanted to consult with you first before doing anything rash.
If you doubt Barrister Jubril's intentions, may I make a suggestion?
I've been looking at lawyers on the web and perhaps this would be a
cheaper solution to our problems: Pre-Paid Legal Insurance! Look at the
link below and tell me what you think...
http://wserver0.prepaidlegal.com/product/need.html
Anyway, I won't do anything until I receive your advice as you are
clearly the wiser man. You have a PhD and are a big doctor of Political
Econimics! Wow! So even though you're not that kind of doctor, can you
still wear a lab coat and stethescope?
I thought you might want to know a little bit about me since we'll
be working together on this transaction, and, like I said above, I feel I
can trust you and want to get to know you a little better. I am a PE
(that's physical education, in case you didn't know!) teacher in Michigan
at a local junior high school. I don't have a fancy degree like you but I
do OK anyway. I have three wonderful children, Travis, Tyler and Since
I thought you might want to know what I look like, I'm enclosing a
picture. Can I see yours, too? What about you? Are you married? My
daughter is going to college this fall and I'm looking for a decent man
for her to marry. Perhaps you'd be intersted. Anyway, I'd love to learn
more about you, now that I've told you about my life!
Please get back to me soon and let me know what you think about this
Barrister Jubril, so we can continue with the transaction.
Your good Friend,
Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
Barrister Jubril Hassan was here in my office for enquiries. I sent for
the Account Officer incharge of SYLVESYER WILLIAMS'S account and they had
useful discussions including the interest that has accrued on Williams's
Funds since his death.
Has he contacted you or replied to your mail? He was surprised such huge
funds was left unclaimed for all these while. I simply told him since
William's Relatives operate outside of Africa, they may not have been
aware he had such funds.
I am optimistic with him, we will conclude this transaction swiftly. Keep
me informed with what transpires with him.
Have a wonderful day.
Sincerely yours,
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN.
- ROBERT
- I again remind him of my concerns:
Dr. Lukman
Thank you for your note, but did you read my recent correspondence? I am
concerned that Mr. Jubril may not be completely honest. Please reassure me!
Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
v
I cannot take the risk of introducing to you a dishonest and unseriosness
minded person to you. The consequences would mean losing this rare
opportunity and tarmishing my reputation. This I can not afford to do.
Barrister Jubril Hassan is a highly respected Attorney here who is a
specialist in PROBATE MATTERS. He is reputed to have won several probate
cases on behalf of his clients. I have been skeptical whether he will
accept to handle this matter. If he does, I have confiddence he will
deliver it very well.
The funds are not in the custody of the Lawyer. He can therefore not
defraud us. The funds at the end of the day will be transfered straight
to your nominated Bank Account.
Therefore, I will travel with my colleages to meet with you for the
disbursement.
From the date the Lawyer applies within Seven Working days the funds will
be in your Account. Please tidy up with him swiftly so that the funds can
more before the month runs out.
Please look out for areas of investment one can possibly invest in. I
intend to invest in U.S Tell me more about your area of business and how
profitable it is so that I can give it a thought.
Finally, I have no hesitation recommending Barrister Jubril Hassan relate
with him.
Have a nice day.
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN
- ROBERT
- Well, that's a relief! Now, it's time to kick things up a notch! Supposing Dr. Suleman/Barrister
Jubril are the same person, what happens if I try to double-cross Dr.
Suleman with Barrister Jubril behind Dr. Suleman's back? Let's find out!:
Mr. Barrister Jubril,
I do not know you well sir, so I am taking a big risk by disclosing the
following to you. It is my hope that you are a man of sense and discretion
who can immediately grasp the value of what I am about to impart.
The truth of the matter, Mr. Jubril, is this: I was recently approached by
a Dr. Suleman with an interesting business proposal: I was to impersonate
the next of kin of a deceased foreigner (the Mr. Sylvester Williams of my
previous email) in order to claim the 42 million currently in the bank. In
truth, I am no relative of Mr. Williams and Dr. Suleman and I were going
to split the funds 30/60, with 10% offsetting the various costs of this
transaction.
I have no moral qualms about taking some of this money as Mr. Williams
obviously has no next of kin.
However, the following recently occurred to me: is Dr. Suleman necessary
at all in this transaction? It seems to me, Barrister Jubril, that the two
of us could stand to make a fortune if we cut him out of the deal entirely
and split the funds between us 50/50, which would mean, I believe, about
22.5 million apiece. I will still claim these funds as Mr. Williams' next
of kin and then provide you the account details so you may claim your
half. We will need to act quickly, though, before Dr. Suleman becomes
suspicious and sees what we are up to--hopefully by then both of us can be
out of our respective countries and lounging somewhere in a tropical
paradise!
I will distract Dr. Suleman in the meantime and assure him that the
transaction is going smoothly...please respond quickly as time is not on
our side! But we both stand to become quite wealthy if we succeed!
v
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Robert
- ROBERT
- Meanwhile, I assure Dr. Suleman that everything is proceeding smoothly:
Dr. Suleman--
Thank you for your comforting message! I feel much better about dealing
with barrister Jubril now and just sent an email off to him, so it should
not be long before our business in completed!
You are right--you cannot afford to involve a dishonest person in our
transaction. I'm glad we've been able to cultivate this atmosphere of
mutual trust and understanding.
v
I still have one lingering question: barrister Jubril wants $26,000 up
front for legal fees and what not. Am I to pay him the full sum or will
you be contributing?
Looking forward to hearing from you,
your pal Robert
- JUBRIL
-
Mr. Robert
I got your mail and I am delighted you told me the
truth. In fact, you are a worthy client because one of
the high points of the Lawyer/Client relationship is
truth all the way.
On my part one of the basic professional etiquette is
for me to protect what ever information you give to me
very jealously.
Mr. Robert, I am highly reputed in this area of the
law and I think so many people I do not know, actually
know me hence I was recommended to you.
You have told me the truth, I do hereby pledge that I
will guard and protect the storey you told me without
letting it out and with the utmost goodfaith.
But my position is this:-
(1.) I do not know Dr. Suleman from Adam. I only got
to know him when I got to the Bank for the inquiries
about the funds. I also discovered the he works with
the Bank and very cardinal because he works with the
Remittance Department and appears to have mosy vital
information in that regard. My point is that it is not
possible to cut him out of the Business.
(2). My Professional ethics and conduct will not
infact allow me to oblige you with cutting the said
Dr. Suleman off the business.
MR. Robert, all eyes on me and with my International
achievement as a Lawyer I do not think I would been
recommended to you if I have been working like that.
I will not let Dr. Suleman know what you have
suggested to me but I will like you, to go on with
whatever you may have agreed with him because he is
going to help in loosening tight ends in my
APPLICATION to release the funds and fast too.
Mr. Robert, I am only interested in the 1% I have
requested for as my professional fees, but I do think
that if you are not confortable with the percentage
ratio as you wrote to me in your mail, you can ask for
a higher percentage from the said Dr. Suleman if you
have not sealed the agreement.
But then let me ask you, are you sure you will release
my professional fees after the funds must have gone
into your Account? now that you are making this kind
of suggestion?.
The Truth is that if Dr. Suleman suspects anything in
the process he might stop the money from moving into
your account, so maintain your relationship with him
so that it will be easy for me to go through with my
application for the release of the funds.
Hoping to hear from you, for the particulars i
requested for to enable me start work for you.
Regards,
Barrister Jubril Hassan (Esq).
- ROBERT
-
Barrister Jubril,
You are such a noo-noo head! I can't believe that you have this wonderful
opportunity staring you in the face and yet you decline to help me cheat
this Dr. Suleman out of his funds! Why? Surely what with your being a
fancy-pants prostate lawyer and all you know that 50 percent of 42 million
is far better than one percent! Give me a break! You are, like, such a
wuss!
v
The only possible explanation I can come up with is that you and Dr.
Suleman must be romantically involved somehow. Why are you keeping this
from me? I too am well acquainted with the love that dare not speak its
name. And yet, am I all man? Oh, yes I am! Rowrrrrr!
Still, if you refuse to accept my offer, there's really nothing else I can
do, and I suppose I'll have to satisfy myself with 30% of the 42 million.
So, please tell me what information you require from me so we can wrap
this transaction up.
Please believe me when I say that I wish you and Dr. Suleman much
happiness in the future! I hope you two can make a cozy little home
together. Perhaps when this transaction is finished I can come visit you
and we 3 can have a little bit of fun together, if you know what I mean!
I'll bring the mirrorball! Oh, yeah!
Please respond quickly so we can wrap this transaction up with all due
haste,
Robert
- JUBRIL
- Mr. Robert,
You strike me like an unserious minded fellow. I am too busy a person to
have time for frivolities.
I have a reputation to protect and would have nothing dent it.
Yours faithfully,
JUBRIL HASSAN (ESQ).
- ROBERT
- I send back a firey reply:
Mr. Dumbass Barrister Jubril
I may strike you as an unserious fellow, but you strike me as a complete
idiot! Barrister my ass! I bet you can't barrast your way out of a
goddamned
paper bag! I bet when you and all the other barristers-in-training played
barrister dodge-ball or kick the zebra or whatever the hell it is you play
over there you were always picked last and then all other other barristers
put a 'kick me' sign on your fat barrister ass.
You are an idiot, "Barrister Jubril" and here are the reasons why:
1). You do not want to enter into this scheme with me because you claim it
will tarnish your reputation, but
2). You have no qualms about helping me impersonate someone I'm not. Is
that
ethical? I think not!
You have to understand that, personally, I don't care what you and this
goddamned Suleman fellow do when you're alone together--that's your own
private business. But your calling me an userious person has really gotten
me angry! I am SO SERIOUS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION, "Barrister Jubril" and
yet
you treat me as though I were some kind of joking fool!
So, please, reply with the necessary particulars in a return email so we
can
go ahead and expeditie this transaction. I clearly misjudged you--you are
a
very unsavory man, so let's get this business over with quickly!
Robert
Then, I few minutes later, I send Barrister Jubril a "Hello Kitty: Let's
be
Friends" e-card, apologizing for my earlier outburst.
- ROBERT
- Meanwhile, I write to Dr. Suleman:
Dr. Suleman--
I don't know where you found this Barrister Jubril person, but he is a most
unsavory man and not to be trusted! Do you think it might be possible to
work with another lawyer, preferably one you're not emotionally involved
with?
Regards,
Robert
- SULEMAN
-
Dear Robert,
I wasn't avoiding your question in respect of payment of consultation fee
of
$26,000 to the Lawyer. I have no reason to avoid any issue raised by you
relating to this transaction. I said I wasn't expecting the lawyer's fees
to
be paid now until after the transaction which usually is a percentage of
the
entire sum. But that having sent his consultation fee, you should let me
know what you have and what the difference, and see what can be done but
that we are not allowed to keep foreign account from which funds like this
can be drawn.
I have discussed your mail extensively with my collegues who are involved
in
this transaction and their perception is as follows:-
1). Your inability to pay the Lawyer's consultation fee is a clear sign of
your unwillingness to continue with this transaction. Particularly, since
this money will be refunded from the reserved percent.
2). They would appreciate it if I could get a mail from you stating
clearly
that you cannot carry on with the transaction so that they can bring in
their interested party.
3). They are suprised that after one full week since you indicated
interest,
no official application has been made to the bank for the funds, yet time
is
running out.
4). They do not understand what your difficulty is with Barrister Jubril
and
why you refer to him as "Unsavory man that cannot be trusted" However, you
are free to pick any other Lawyer practising in Togo to conclude the
transaction on a personal note. I wish to add that I do not understand
what
you you mean by "another Lawyer I wound not emotionally involved with" I
hope this is not suggestive of emotional involvement with Barrister
Jubril.
If it does. I demand an apology.
Finally, I request a reply from you stating clearly what your intention is
concerning this transaction. We can not continue on an endless
communication
without positive results. I will be most obliged if you would acknowledge
your inability to carry on with this transaction. At least it will give my
colleagues the opportunity to bring in their candidate and save me the
embarrassment of ruining their once-in-a life time opportunity.
Have a wonderful day.
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN.
- JUBRIL
-
Meanwhile, Barrister Jubril wants to make up:
Dear Robert,
I take very strong exception to your choice of words as in describing me
as
"unsavoury". It is most indecent for a Lawyer of my standard to get such
unruly spanking from an expected civilized and well cultured man from the
part of the world where you come from.
However, this percieved insult have been eventually ameliorated or doused
by
your last mail alongside the friendship card sent across to me. Thank you
very much. Some client are like that and therefore it does not deter us.
Can we now work together? The discretion is yours, you gave me a brief and
made suggestions. that legally speaking and quite frankly might not be
possible because of the custody of the funds and the strategic position
held
by the man you are requesting to be avoided.
Mr. Robert, you are the person who is delaying the transaction as a result
of your apparent lack of trust in the Lawyer, that is myself) you
appointed.
But take it or leave it, if you do the needful, that is to say, send down
all I had earlier requested in my first mail to you, then consider a
substantial progress in the process of the release of the said funds into
your nominated account.
Go through through my first mail and sent the requirements to enable me
start off.
Thanks.
JUBRIL HASSAN (ESQ)
- ROBERT
- I respond to both:
Dr. Lukman,
I always feel better after reading your correspondence. I apologize for
the
strident tone of my earlier email; I'm afraid I'd just had an excnage with
Barrister Jubril that left me a little rattled. I have no doubt, however,
that we can now proceed quickly. Now, to address the points you raised
below:
1). I never said I was not able to pay the lawyer's consultation fee and
will be happy to pay for 50% now. Would $13,000 from each of us be
adequate?
2). I never said I could not carry on this transaction--if there were any
misunderstandings I apologize for them. Please forward this message on to
the relevant parties.
3). I will be working with Barrister Jubril to submit an official
application for the funds by the end of this week.
4). I had a bad feeling about Barrister Jubril due to a recent
consultation
with my astrologer, who, I am now convinced, is a total quack. I am ready
to
do business with Barrister Jubril.
5). When I referrred to your 'emotional involvement' with Barrister Jubril
in my earlier email I was working under the hypothesis that perhaps the
two
of you were romantically linked, though perhaps this is not the case.
Either
way, it's noneof my business, so I'll quit being such a Nosy Parker about
it.
6). You mention that there are other candidates for this transaction,
which
concerns me. Who are they, and why did you not tell me about them sooner?
I
feel slightly betrayed, to tell you the truth. I have been completely
honest
with you and would never dream of going behind your back. Why are you
soliciting other people while trying to finalize the particulars with me?
This is hardly fair--please explain yourself.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Robert
- ROBERT
- Barrister Jubril
I would now like very much to work together and bring this transaction to
a
speedy conclusion. I will be happy to do the needful promptly and
timeously.
Please remind me of the particulars you require and I will forward them
posthaste.
Thank you for your understanding in this matter,
Robert
------------------------------------------------------
Then--a second letter to Dr. Lukman! Emergency!
Dr. Suleman--
I need your assistance, please! I received the strangest email message
this
afternoon, also from someone in Togo--please see below! What can you tell
me
about this? Do you know this fellow? He's another doctor, so I thought you
might. Do you think he's trustworthy? Please advise!

The email in question:
************************************************************
DR. IYA K. ABU
POSITION: FORMER PERSONAL ASSISTANT TO CHIEF BOLA IGE.
(Assassinated Former Justice Minister of Nigeria)
REF: THE ASSASSINATION OF THE FORMER JUSTICE MINISTER AND THE USD150
MILLION DRUG MONEY-----THE REAL STORY.
Sir,
I write you this letter believing that you will keep same a top
secret as the issues involved are known only to a few of us. I have
written you this letter from my hideout in a neighbouring West
African country to ensure that this money involved is not lost to
greedy politicians determined to use these funds for their political
electioneering campaigns.
Now the real story. Last December the former Justice Minister and
Attorney-General of the Federal Republic of Nigeria was killed by
unknown persons. While the whole world mourned this great loss of an
erudite scholar, nobody knew that the killing was actually
masterminded by top government officials and the Inspector-General of
Police who attempted to reveal their identity was removed from
office. The main reason for the killing and all these political
confusion is who gets the USD150 million recovered from illegal drug
dealers.
After the killing of the Honourable Minister, two attempts were made
to kill me but I managed to escape to Togo, this neighbouring West African
country. They want me dead or alive because it is only the late
Minister and I that have all the correct banking details where this
money has been deposited. Even the Presidency do not have any details
of this deposit because on the Minister's instructions, I had
deposited this money in a private commercial bank.
Now I am in a dilemma, the Minister my boss is dead and it is my
responsibility to show human kindness to the family he left behind.
Consequently, I have decided to secretly move these funds into your
bank account if you will agree to this arrangement. I do not need to
go back to Nigeria to accomplish this as my contacts in the
commercial bank where this money is deposited are most willing to
give their maximum cooperation and assistance. At the end of the
whole transaction, you will retain 40% of the total sum which we are
able to transfer into your bank account while the remaining 60% will
be shared between me and my friends in the commercial bank back in
Nigeria.
Please I await your urgent response on this matter either through e-
mail or via my telephone number as indicated above.
Thank you.
DR. IYA K. ABU.

Dear Robert,
I saw your new mail, Please don't response.
I am going to take time and give you a graphic analysis of how this
transaction came about so that you will be able to appreciate your
position.
1). When it became abvious that the Bank could not trace the relatives of
Sylvester Williams and that the maximum of five years period allowed for
claims is about to expire at which point the money will revert to the
bank,
myself, Mrs. Graig and Alhaji Ibrahim met and decided on a number of
things.
2). We agreed that there was a need to get a foreigner to act as the NEXT
OF
KIN. We are agreed to sarch for who will take on that position. Mrs. Graig
and Alhaji Ibrahim equally got people whille I was able to establish
contact
with you.
3). Since I am the most Senior Officer amongst the three of us, I insisted
you will be used for the transaction, because I needed to monitor it
myself
so as to be sure we will get our part of the bargain and to avoid any
scandal arising therefrom.
4). It was agreed that a reasonable percentage be offered to anybody
taking
up this position because of his role. While 30% will go to the account
provider that is you, myself, Mrs. Graig and Alhaji Ibrahim will hav 60%
while 10% should be for any expenses that may arise.
5). when we received your earlier response to the request of acting as a
next of Kin, it was interpreted by my colleagues to mean, lack of
seriousness but I insisted you should not be written off. You proved me
right in your subsequent mails.
6). My colleagues are waiting for any loop holes in your ability to
perform
so as to bring in their own contact. This I strongly desire should not
happen because it will rob negatively on my ability to tidy up transaction
of this nature.
7). For as long as you work according to my instruction, nobody, I repeat
nobody will side line you or take over your postion from you. I can bet
you
my life on it. I give you this assurance absolutely.
8). If I disclose to them that you want to pay half of the Lawyer's
consultation fee, while we pay the balance, it will not go down well with
them as they may interprete it to mean that you cannot handle or who
cannot
ever affored the services of the Lawyer who is to work for you.
9). Ordinarily, you were supposed to come down here and sort these things
out yourself but because of time constraints, bills on hotel and flight
ticket and hazards, a Lawyer who will deliver was recommended to work for
you. The Lawyer is seen as directly working for you.
10). I urge you to do all within your power to sort out the Lawyer's fee. It will really make me proud of you before my colleague. If there is anyhin
you want like additional funds from the reserved 10%, don't hesitate to
let
me know.
10). Get across to the Lawyer, furnish him with whatever information he
would require. Let him start off. This transactin actually commences the
day
he officially applies for the release of the funds. THis week should not
expire without that happening.
12). Don't ever forget these funds will get into your account . Don't ever
give the impression of being smart otherwise my colleagues will capitalise
on it.
Sort out the Lawyer and get back to me.
Yours sincerely,
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN.

- Then, a second letter from the good Doctor:
Dear Brother Robert,
I have carefully read the proposal sent to you by Dr. Iya K. Abu the
personal Assistant to the Late Minister of Justice, Nigeria. My advise is
as
follows:-
1) The Minister was assassinated in cold blood by people suspected to be
his
political enemies including his personal Assistance Dr. Iya K. Abu.
2) The reason for the murder is drug money which he halted and which is
still under investigation by both Nigerian Drug Law and the American Drug
Law Agencies.
3) The Federal Government of Nigeria has sworn to fish out anybody linked
with the murder or linked with the funds.
4) The Funds is seriously being monitored by Interpol with the intention
of
closing in on anybody involved.
5) My Dear Brother Robert, I will not want you to have anything to do with
Murderers and Drug barons who are being sought after by the Government. If
you want to do business, I could link you up with the Minister of
Petroleum
who is married to my Cousin and he could give you a Licence to lift Crude
Oil from Nigeria which is the 6th Largest Oil Producing Country. This is a
Legal and legitimate business. Please don't get yourself involved in
illegality.
6) Have you sorted out the Lawyer. My Colleagues are anxious to know what
the Position is. I have not seen the Lawyer come to apply for the funds.
Please expedite action. Today is Tuesday 20th August in Togo. This week
should not pass us bye without the Application being submitted.
Have a wonderful day. Sincerely yours,
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN

Subject: We must start a defense fund for Amina Lawal
Dr. Lukman--
I have forwarded some of my particulars on to Barrister Jubril. I was
looking forward to a speedy conclusion of this transaction when I read
some
shocking news! Please read the article below! Did you know they stone
people
to death in Africa? Are you involved in this in some way? What do you
think
Barrister Jubril thinks of this? Could he be involved?
I think we need to think seriously about using a portion of these funds to
start a legal defense team for this poor woman. Have you heard of Johnny
Cochran? He's quite a famous Lawyer in the US, and while I'm sure
Barrister
Jubril could do a good job I bet Mr. Cochran could run miles around him. I
bet for a few million dollars we could bring him to the African continent
to
head the legal defense team for this poor woman. We must be philanthropic
and help our fellow human beings with our newfound monetary resources!
Since I'm going to be paying Barrister Jubril such outrageous legal fees,
do
you think he'd agree to work on this case pro bono?
Here's the horrific article--since you're an African native, perhaps you
could explain this to me a little better. Have you ever stoned anyone to
death? If so, why or why not? Do you think this is right? Explain.

Nigerian Court Upholds Stoning Death
Mon Aug 19, 9:26 PM ET
By OLOCHE SAMUEL, Associated Press Writer
FUNTUA, Nigeria (AP) - An Islamic high court in northern Nigeria
rejected an appeal Monday by a single mother sentenced to be stoned
to death for having sex out of wedlock.
The woman's lawyers said they planned to file an appeal to a yet higher
Islamic court. If that fails, they can appeal to the Supreme Court,
where the case would force a showdown between Nigeria's constitutional
and religious authorities.
The introduction of Islamic law, or Shariah, in a dozen northern states
has sparked clashes between the country's Christians and Muslims.
President Olusegun Obasanjo's government has declared Shariah punishments
such as beheadings, stonings and amputations unconstitutional.
Some predominantly Muslim northern states, which began instituting
Shariah shortly after civilian rule replaced military dictatorship
in 1999, have accused him of meddling.
Clutching her baby daughter, Amina Lawal burst into tears
as the judge delivered the ruling.
Lawal, 30, was first sentenced in March after giving birth
to a daughter more than nine months after divorcing.
"We uphold the judgment from the lower court," Judge Aliyu Abdullahi
said on behalf of four judges at the Islamic high court at Funtua,
in Nigeria's northern Katsina state.
Many of the 60 people who packed the small court room shouted "God is
great!" in the Hausa dialect, as Lawal wept.
The judge said the sentence would be carried out as soon as Lawal
finishes breast feeding her baby. In June, the court postponed
her execution until January 2004 for this reason.
Lawal was given 30 days to appeal the ruling and released on bail.
She declined to speak to journalists outside the court Monday.
Hiding behind her lawyer, Lawal held her baby up to shield her face
from photographers. About 20 police armed with tear gas stood guard at the court entrance
Monday, but there were no immediate reports of violence.
Lawal is the second Nigerian woman to be condemned to death
by Islamic courts for having sex out of wedlock. The first,
Safiya Hussaini, had her sentence overturned in March on an appeal.
At least two other women have faced similar charges. One case was
dismissed in January, and the other is on hold until the woman is
healthy enough to appear in court.
All the women have been poor, uneducated, single mothers from rural
villages.
Lawal's conviction was upheld on the basis that she admitted to
having sex outside marriage.
But her legal team argued she could not have knowingly made a confession
because she did not understand the Arabic term for adultery, "zena."
The man Lawal identified as her baby's father denied the accusation and
was acquitted in March for lack of evidence.
Most spectators in court Monday welcomed the ruling.
"This is a triumph of Allah's law against the enemies of Shariah,"
said Mohammed Radiu, 26, an Islamic studies student. "By this judgment,
we are confident the government is serious about the implementation
of Shariah."
Off-duty police sergeant Mohammed Radiu, 26, agreed.
"She had admitted her guilt. Even in a civil court, when you admit guilt,
punishment will follow," she said.
Church leaders and human rights groups were dismayed.
"The application of the Shariah is unconstitutional and we must not
tolerate it further," John Olorunfemi Onaiyekan, Archbishop of Abuja,
told the Italian-based missionary news service, MISNA.
London-based Amnesty International said in a statement that stoning people
to death was "the ultimate form of torture" and that the "sentence should
not be carried out."
Baobab, a women's group paying for Lawal's defense, said an appeal in a
higher court could set a legal precedent for all Nigerian Shariah courts.
"But really we could have done without it," added Ndidi Ekekwe, a lawyer
for the group. "For as long as this case lasts, the girl has a death sentence hanging over her head."

Dear Robert,
While I was expecting to see Barrister Jubril come to make a formal
Application, I rather saw a long mail from you explaining the situation of
things in Nigeria. I wish to let you know that I am not a Nigerian
eventually we have a branch of the Bank in Nigeria and I have been on a
working visit there.
A country with over a hundred and twenty million people of different
religious affinity is bound to have some complexities arising from the
activity of fanatics. A large percentage of Nigerians have always
condemned
these barbaric arts. I have no objection if you desire to channel your own
share of the funds towards philanthropic activities in Nigeria.
However, I cannot comprehended what the mail you sent has to do with our
business transaction. First it was drug money and the assassination of
Minister in Nigeria that I had to explain. Now it is the stoning to death
of
an adulterous Moslem lady. I do not know what next I would be called upon
by
you to make explanation of.
Mr. Robert, I have one primary relationship with you and that is that you
act as a Next of Kin and pull out the funds left behind by Sylvester
William
before it reverts to the Bank. For as long as no official Application is
made to this bank for the release of these funds, every other thing to me
is
baldadash.
I have said it before, if you are not comfortable with Barrister Jubril,
Please drop him I am happy you know Johnny Cochran. He is a Lawyer of
International repute too. Please use him but the most important thing is
that this week MUST NOT PASS without an Official Application for the
transfer of the funds. If no such Application is made, and the week expires,
your interest would be presumed to have expired.
Finally, Mr. Robert, stoning to death is too inhuman, uncivilized, brutal
and barbaric for me to be associated with it. I cannot speak for Barrister
Jubril. There are good Lawyers in Nigeria you can link up with, they will
help you actualize your pet philanthropic project. Furthermore, I will
appreciate it if you could ask me questions about Togo where I am from.
Today is Wednesday, the 21st of August 2002 and the time is 2.00pm local
time. Mr. Robert, you have two more days to go.
Have a wonderful day.
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN
- JUBRIL
- Dear Robert,
I agree with you, the Law, they say, does not stand on pontilio when there
is a staving wife at home. The Law also is an ass, an unruly horse no once
knows it will take you to next.
However, Mr. Robert your concern may not be greater them mine especially
in
those age of civilization and greater awareness. The traditional African
Society was crude and which translated even into their religion. The
Islamic Religion in Africa has not received the necessary call for
re-orientation.
Robert, I am Christian and my middle/Christian Name is Roland. I condemn
such act in its entirety and described it as barbaric.
In any case, the story you have relayed came from Nigeria and I can assure
you that the reason for all the irrational Islamic/Sharia Judicial
decision
are politically motivated. The political atmosphere in Nigeria today,
(because we have been also monitoring it from here) is very volatile
because
Elections are drawing nearer and I know also that such decision does not
emanate from the normal or the ordinary regular court decisions.
Robert, my opinion is that the decision is most unwholesome and unformate.
I have never participated and don't at all.
However, note that this is not the case all over Africa. I am thinking
along the line of gathering some other Lawyers and friends who think alike
on the need to setting up a non-governmental organization to be know as
MISSION OF MERCY INTERNATIONAL (MOMI).
However, let not our attention be diverted for too long because if we
apply
and get the funds released, there and then we shall have the capacity to
help.
Still awaiting your final instructions and enablements to go ahead with
the
Application, I have received the Account Number anyway.

- Barrister Jubril--
I am afraid there have been a few unforseen complications and I place
great
value on your advice. I went to my bank this afternoon to arrange for the
money transfer and the bank manager got all nosy and asked what it was
for.
I told him it was none of his concern, but he still wouldn't let the
matter
rest. Finally I told him I was sending the money to some relatives in
Africa, and he GREW VERY SUSPICIOUS AND TOLD ME HE SUSPECTED FRAUD. I
tried
to allay his anxieties, but he would have none of it and demanded to speak
with you immediately. Would it be possible to set up a meeting my
telephone
in the near future? Please respond urgently!
Robert
- JUBRIL
-
Dear Robert,
Thanks for your mail. The suspicion of your Bank Manager is correct.
Legally
speaking what you and Dr. Suleman is doing has only one name -FRAUD. The
money does not belong to Dr. Suleman nor you nor are you a relative of
Sylvester Williams. But I guess since the Bank would take hold of the
funds
after having searched for the relative of Sylvester Williams, Dr. Suleman
decided to hold onto it with you.
This much I was able to understand from the mail you sent to me earlier
on.
I have no problems personally with you or Dr Suleman or anybody for that
matter taking on the funds but the problem is that it is not the kind of
transaction you open up to everybody. I have kept mine confidential
because
of my Professional Standing. If I cannot confront Dr. Suleman with the f
acts you presented to me, why should I now open up discussions with your
bank manager to prove to him that the transaction is not fraudulent? Put
yourself in my shoes.
Finally, if you do not trust Dr. Suleman as trust is the basis for any
meaningful business, then you can forego the transaction. But if you do
and
you are allowing the bank manager to constitute a clog on your way, then
it
is rather unfortunate. The choice is absolutely yours.
Your question should have been channeled to Dr. Suleman who have more
facts.
Let me advice that if your bank manager knows the details, he might take
undue advantage. Having told the bank manager that you are sending the
money
to your relative, STAND BY IT, Don't forget you have already claims that
Sylvester Williams is your relative. When the money is transferred to your
account the source of the funds will be easier to explain.
I wish you the best. It is only your decision that matters in all these.

To: "'Dr. Suleman Lukman'"
Subject: RE: EVENT IN NIGERIA
Dr. Suleman,
I must say that I'm a little taken aback by the tone of your last email.
While I understand that time is of the utmost essence in this
transaction,
there's no excuse for such rudeness on your part, and if you consider
the
sufferings of others "balderdash", as you put it, you must be a very
hard-hearted man indeed. Therefore, I would like to take a moment to
respond to the points you raise in your email one by one.
1). You state "I cannot comprehended what the mail you sent has to do
with
our business transaction. First it was drug money and the assassination
of
Minister in Nigeria that I had to explain. Now it is the stoning to
death of
an adulterous Moslem lady. I do not know what next I would be called
upon by
you to make explanation of." Let me explain myself, Dr. Suleman. As an
American my knowledge of Africa is, sadly, quite limited. Aside from
yourself and Barrister Jubril I have no contacts on the African
continent as such, and naturally my communication with you piqued my curiosity. I wanted to learn as much as possible about your continent, and, in the course of my
research, unearthed the article I sent you yesterday. I turn to you now
for advice and consultation on all matters African, and am deeply hurt when
you
write such lines as, "I have one primary relationship with you and that
is
that you act as a Next of Kin and pull out the funds left behind by
Sylvester William before it reverts to the Bank. For as long as no
official
Application is made to this bank for the release of these funds, every
other
thing to me is baldadash." I respect and admire you, Dr. Suleman, and I
wanted you to enlighten me about this horrible practice. Instead, I get
a
curt and hurtful response. This pains me.
2). I am now very comfortable with Barrister Jubril. For your
information,
I have forwarded my particulars to him and will be going to the bank
this
afternoon to have the $26,000 transferred into his account. Therefore, I
don't appreciate you using such lines as "day is Wednesday, the 21st of
August 2002 and the time is 2.00pm local time. Mr. Robert, you have two
more
days to go." I have been extremely cooperative up to this point, and
your
pushiness is not appreciated. I would appreciate an apology.
3). You're absolutely right--I should ask you questions about Togo as
opposed to Nigeria. So, please, if you would, tell me a little bit about
your country, as I am very eager to learn. Also, I would like to know a
little bit about you: your interests, your age--are you married? etc.
4). As I mentioned above, I will be going to my bank this afternoon to
release the funds to Barrister Jubril. If he does not submit an
application
to you shortly thereafter, I recommend you contact him directly, if
possible, to see what's causing the delay.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
Your Friend Robert
- SULEMAN
- Dear Robert,
I tender an unreserved apology to you for what turned out to be rudeness
on
my part. I am really very sorry.
From now henceforth, aside of my business relationship with you, I will
take
out time to write to you about African and Africans. I had seriously
misjudged you by presuming that you already know much about Africa.
I was initially not too comfortable with issues concerning Nigeria. This
is
because Nigeria has the largest population in Africa. Almost every African
is presumed a Nigerian. Yet Nigeria has carved for itself a bad reputation
in the comity of Nations. Cases of fraud and scam, Drug Trafficking,
Assassination, Religious conflict and such related acts always emanate
from
Nigeria. It really makes things difficult as foreigners who believe that
every Blackman is a Nigerian treat us with contempt. That was my frame of
mind when I responded to your mail. I saw it as another attempt to be
ridiculed because of the activity of Nigerians.
I am from Togo, a small country in West Africa with a population of about
seven million. Our main occupation is farming. Most citizens are
Christians
with a good mixture of the Moslems. A quite country with a low level of
crime. It is tourism from France as we were colonized by them. I had my
first degree in Economics from the University of De-es-salem in Tazania
with
a first class before processing to Oxford University where I did my
masters
and Doctorate degrees in Political Economy. Presently, I am taking on law
on
part-time basis.
I am married to Professor Sylaneta, a University lecturer. I have three
kids
- 2 boys and a girl. I am 49years and have worked with the bank for
21years.
My ambition is to end up as a Director in this bank, retire and set up a
Non-governmental organization to tackle the problem of poverty and mans
inhumanity to man. I guess I have sufficiently given you a rundown on
myself. As per my interest I like writing, documentaries and traveling.
I am sorry if I appear pushful in this transaction. The reason is simply
that my managing Director is presently around and would readily approve
the
Application when I present it to him. He will soon be moved to other
branches in other countries. I do not know who will take over from him. He
may want to be too officious and that may center undue delay. Moreover, my
colleagues are over me to know the position of things. Once the
Application
is made and is approved as I am sure it would, then even if the Managing
Director is moved, anybody that assumes his position will simply continue
from where he stopped. That had informed the pushfulness. It is in our
interest. I didn't mean to give you an ultimatum.
Thanks for the respect and admiration. I mist confess you have created
some
positive impact on me and that was why I swore nobody will take your place
in this transaction. I seriously look forward to meeting you immediately
the
funds is released into your Account.
I am sorry if I did hurt you in anyway.
Note:- Once again, you said you have gone to the bank to sort the Lawyer
out, But up till now, I have not seen the Lawyer coming for the
Application
form. I am still expecting to see him.
Sincerely yours
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN

If there is anything I desire as writing you this mail, it is to hug you
and
give you a pat on the back. I coudn't contain the joy that erupted in me
when I saw Barrister Jubril Hassan come for the Application Forms. I
hereby
managed to keep a stright face. That has been the moment I have been
anxiously waiting for. The dream of being a Millionaire is gradually
transforming from the boundaries of illusions and uncertainties to the
platform of realities. With what I have heard of Barrister Jubril, I
expect
that substantial grounds would be covered by nect week and by the upper
week, the funds is expected to be in your Account.
I would now rely on you for more information on the transaction as
Barrister
Jubril. I gues, would be keeping abrast of development. From my end,
whatever stage of success will be instantaneously passed on to you. I
would
humbly request you furnish me with your private phone number for faster
communication.
I look forward to reading from you.

and NOT 3210362 (WRONG ONE) TAKE NOTE.

Subject: THERE IS NO MONEY TO BE USED
Dear Mr. Robert,
I have just been informed by my bank this afternoon that there is no fund in
that account.
I do not seem to undersand what pranks you are playing with me. You sent me
the Payment slip meanwhile no instruction was given for actual money to be
remitted into that account.
It could be very frustrating that I could waste my time, money and energy in
processing documents in your behalf. I was suposed to pay for the stamp
duties/tax and receive the Drug Free Certificate today and then move to the
Probate Registry for the Latter of Administration. Meanwhile the Affidavit
of claims has been served at the Bank.
I had expected you to be as frank and blunt with me as I am with you. If for
any reason whatever, you are not interested any longer in the transaction,
all I expect you to do is to be bold enough to write me and notify me of
this decision. To allow me to channel my energy and office funds into this
while you have ulterior motive is to say the least unfair, unjust and
unreasonable.
If within the next 24hrs. this funds do not reflect in my account, I shall
have no alternative than to withdraw the Application from the bank and have
all other processes already embarked by me. This is no threat but a definite
promise.
I am aware that any money paid on Swift Code should reflect within 24 hours
and that is why I gave instructions foe the my office funds to be used in
the processing pending when the funds will clear. But here we are the fifth
day yet no funds in that account. I do not intend to be taken for a ride.
This is a brief you gave to me if you are actually not interested in it, do
advise me accordingly.
Thanks.

- Uh-oh--looks like the $26,000 was stolen by an unscrupulous bank president!

To: Robert
Subject: YOUR BANK MANAGER'S MAIL TO ME.
Jubril Hassan--
By now you're probably wondering where your $26,000 is. Let me enlighten
you; I have it.
I am L. Ron Hubbard, about to be ex-president of The First National Savings
and Loan of Platryville. When Mr. Hicksman came in to arrange this transfer
of funds I grew suspicious and deliberately set up an account with a number
similar to the one you provided--I merely transposed a few digits. That is
where the $26,000 currently is.
Before I go any further in my explanation, please let me state that I know
you are a crook and a fraud--as a bank president with 35+ years of
experience I knew Mr. Hicksman was being taken for a ride the moment he came
into my office to arrange for these funds to be transferred. However, I'm a
bit of a crook myself, Barrister Jubril, and am about to leave the country
with 1.5 million of my bank's money, which I've successfuly squirreled away
in a number of foreign accounts. Naturally, this includes your "client's"
$26,000, which I am currently in possession of.
However, I'd rather not get my hands any dirtier than they currently are,
and I'd be happy to go ahead and release these funds to you in exchange for
a small fee--say--10% or $2,600 USD? Don't get me wrong; I'm more than happy
to disappear with the whole $26,000, but my passing the funds on to you
confers an air of legitimacy that I'd rather maintain and I'd still make a
small profit.
So, in a nutshell, here's the deal: you pay 10% of the $26,000 upfront to
release these funds or you don't see a dime. You have 48 hours to respond to
my proposal, at which time I will be out of the country, immune from
prosecution.
Best regards,
L. Ron. Hubbard, President, First National Bank of Paltryville

Dear Robert,
Thanks for your mail, I had earlier reminded you that the Business is fraud
related at least you confessed that to me. Why then do you wash dirty linens
in the Public, that is to say allowing your Bank President to also call me a
crook.
It is unfortunate that your Bank Manager got my e-mail address from you and
mailed to me such repugnant mail without your consent copy which will be
sent to you next.
One of the biggest regrets I have at moment is the funds I have already
committed, the cordial relationship I have established with the Bank
Officials for speedy approaval and the Drug and Probate certificate which
are currently undergoing processing right now.
I do not intend to go into brickbats with your bank President because it is
only you that knows the knitty gritty of the transaction you employed my
services.
Again I would like you tro debrief me officially so that I will forward it
alongside the discontinuance of the Application for release of the funds
into your Account to the Bank.

Subject: WITHDRAWAL OF APPLICATION BY THE LAWYER
Dear Robert,
Barrister Hassan came in this morning with a letter withdrawing the
Application earlier made for the Transfer of the funds. He further advised
me to be careful with you. All efforts to have him explain the rationale
behind the action and the advise yeilded no result.
Please can you tell me what exactly is going on? when I was away, Mrs. Graig
said Barrister Hassan came to serve the bank the Affidavit of Claims from
the High Court, a copy is hereby attached for your perusal. The Implication
is that approval has been received from the court for the transfer of the
funds in your Name.
I had earlier asked you if you are not comfortable with Barrister Hassan, do
let me know as another Lawyer could be arranged for you or better still, you
could use your own Lawyer. THis confusion at this time has devasting
consequencies;
1). The Application has already been made in your name.
2). The High Court approval has been gotten in your name.
3). Even where some other person is found, it means he has to bear your
names and use your particulars. This is so because any other Application
made in any other name will raise very serious suspicion because if the
relatives of Sylvester Williams could not be traced for all of this period,
how come all of a sudden multiple Applications for his funds?.
4. I do not know what my colleagues reaction would be when I tell them that
Barrister Hassan has written to withdraw the Application earlier made. The
blame will fall squarely on my shoulders. I want to read from you before I
let them into the picture.
Finally, do remember that I told you to let me know your position and that
where you are not interested, any of my colleagues would have been too glad
to bring in their candidates
Dear Robert, Please do write and tell me exactly what is going on. Presently
I am confused. Barrister Hassan action coupled with my Wife's condition
could cause a high blood pressure.
I await to read from you urgent.
Please do have a wonderful day.
Sincerely yours
DR. SULEMAN LUKMAN.
- ROBERT
- Dr. Lukman:
I've had the most horrendous few days! Please, let me fill you in.
First of all, let me say how disappointed I am in Barrister Jubril. I
begged him not to give up on me, and now he's clearly deserted my case.
What happened, Dr. Lukman, was this:
I arranged for the $26,000 in legal fees to be transferred to Barrister
Jubril Hassan's specified account. Unfortunately, L. Ron Hubbard, the bank
president, absconded with the money. I have been away the last few days in
hot pursuit.
As soon as I learned what happened, I contacted the authorities, who in turn
contacted the US Army, Navy and Marine Corps, who used all their combined
man- and fire- power in an effort to track down Mr. Hubbard and bring him to
justice. As I was one of the last to see him before his disappearance, my
assistance was solicited.
So, within two hours of leaving work last Thursday, I was on an Army jet
headed for Kansas, where there had been an unconfirmed L. Ron Hubbard
sighting. I don't know if you're familiar with Kansas, Dr. Lukman, but it's
a wild and lawless place, not unlike Somalia or, say, New Jersey. The US
Military only has nominal control of the state, and only go in when they
have to. So as not to attract attention, it was agreed that I would
parachute from the jet into the town of Lawrence, where L. Ron was believed
to be in hiding. Naturally, I wore a disguise for this mission so as not to
be recognized--I was dressed as a Boy Scout Troop Leader.
Thanks to extensive reports from the FBI and the CIA we were fairly certain
that L. Ron was hiding out in either a local brewery or a seedy sex club
outside of town. Accordingly, I divided the bulk of my time there between
these two places, dodging sniper fire and veneral disease all the while.
The club in question was known as the Flamingo, and was famous for its--how
do I say it--liberal policies regarding patron/dancer interaction, as it was
technically outside of the city and therefore not subject to direct
jurisdiction. I decided that it was imperative that I spend as much time as
possible there, as I'd heard L. Ron had a thing for dancers in Catholic
Schoolgirl uniforms.
Alas, several sordid hours (and many dollars) later, there was still no sign
of L. Ron to be had, so I thought it best to direct my attentions to the
local brewpub, where, rumor had it, L. Ron was hiding, disguised as a
brewmaster.
Thus, upon arriving at said brewery, I immediately demanded a tour of the
premises. During our perambulations around the facilities a suspicious
looking man caught my eye. He had black beady eyes, a handlebar mustache
which he continually twirled around his index fingers, an LA Raiders Jacket,
a Garth Brooks T-shirt new Nike Airs, and a battered sombrero. Clearly this
man was in disguise. I approached him, still in my troop leader uniform.
"Hey," I said, "That's a bitchin' look you've got goin' on there."
"Thanks Pard'ner," he replied, avoiding my penetrating gaze.
"What you do here?" I asked, trying to catch his eye.
"Apprentice brewer," he said. Just then I noticed that the left side of his
handlebar mustache had begun to detach itself from his lip. Quickly, almost
without thinking, I ripped it right off his face! Sure enough, it was that
Bastard L. Ron!
But then, before I could act, I was hit with a heavy object from behind. I
woke up two days later in a drainage ditch outside of town. I staggered to
the bus station, bought a one-way ticket home and am now back at work, no
richer or happier than before, only to learn that I have been deserted by
Barrister Jubril. Surely you, Dr. Lukman, won't do the same?
Your friend Robert
- ROBERT
- Barrister Jubril--
You swine! Why did you tell Dr. Suleman not to trust me? Why did a good
Christian man such as yourself desert me in my hour of need? I've spent the
last several days trying to track down this L. Ron Hubbard and nearly lost
my life, only to learn that you withdrew your application, you bastard!
You're the worst lawyer ever!

Mr. Robert,
I am convinced you are an illitrate armed Robber in the streets of U.S. How
on earth can you reprobate and approbate at the same time. You have called
me all sorts of names simply because I refused that you should side track
somebody who introduced you to a business.
This confession you made yourself, Are you afraid because you thought I have

As a bloody juvenile criminal you have been writing as both Robert and
Hubbard the non-existent Bank President. You are a confimed thief, very
greedy, avarecious, I will be surprised if you are not a petty pick pocket
trying to have all to yourself.
Go and hide you face in shame, you wanted 50/50 sharing to the detriment of
the person who brought you into the business.
Now I am going to reach the said Dr. Suleman and ask him to look for another
person because you are an unrepentant serpent.

- ROBERT
- Barrister Jubril--
Those are harsh words indeed. In fact, in the western world, as you refer to
it, we tend to call them 'fightin' words.' Accordingly, I intend to do some
fightin'.
Firstly, I resent your insinuation that the devious Mr. Hubbard and I are
the same person; since you've made this claim I challenge you to prove it.
Secondly, the tone of your email is most unprofessional coming from an
esteemed lawyer such as yourself. I most certainly will not go hide my face
in shame, as I have done nothing wrong. Furthermore, I think it would be
foolhardy for you to contact Dr. Suleman and suggest he contact someone
else--I'm more than willing to try and raise another $26,000 to cover your
legal fees.
It is my sincere hope that we can now work together--would you be so kind as
to forward your account details to me once again so we can proceed with this
transaction?

Dear Robert,
Its unfortunate you went through that level of stress. I can imagine what it
is like. Please accept my heartfelt sympathy.
It appears you cannot get along with Barrister Jubril. We rather work on an
alternative course of action than grief over Barrister Jubril.
I have held onto the withdrawal letter sent in by Jubril but have discussed
with my colleagues the position of things. The two options left open are:-
1. You send in a POWER OF ATTORNEY, authorizing the use of your name and
Bank particulars to continue with the processing since the Application to
the Bank and the Affidavit has already been done in your name.
2. The alternative will be that you come down or send your Attorney to help
tidy up the process now that we have gone reasonably far. If you are coming
down, I will send to you the details of the involvement so that you will
know how to plan your itinerary.
If you do have any other suggestion on how to tidy this up, please do let
me know but let it not be inclusive of recommending another Lawyer to
complete the process for you. The most important step, which is applying to
the Bank has been taken. I didn't expect it will take this long to tidy this
up.
I await to read from you.

him an email in an effort to placate him, but perhaps I should appoint
another attorney to help clear this matter up. Of course, I'd also be happy
to come to Togo myself if that would make things go a little faster--which
option do you recommend?
