wrapped up Nov. 5
Says the valiant Hawke:
Well I was getting a bit sick of bloody Abachas and their
boxes of money crawling out of every nook and cranny. I can
hardly see the TV for the boxes of cash I have helped them get
out of Ghana. All the boxes look the same too. Then there is
the gazillion dead bank customers and all the stupid forms
they need me to fill in and send back. To much like real
work for me. Pipeline contracts can be even worse. So when
I was offered a chance to make lot's of money flogging cow
vaccine I though "woo hoo, you beauty". I just wonder if
these guys can remember their fake names (and mine) for more
than 10 minutes at a time.

Date: Sat, 7 Sep 2002 13:18:38 +0200 (CEST)
ATTN : Dear Sir,
With keen interest, I am proposing this deal to your
person of which will be of great benefit to both of
us. I work with an Ivorean based firm, a public /
international relation company, as the corporate
affair manager.
I attended a seminal on the 20th of January 2001 at
this seminal, I was fortunate enough to meet a renown
agriculturist, owner of farm at different parts of
West African countries, specialized in large scale
cattle realer and exporter of beef and agricultural
product. ALHAJI MUSA BARAKU DASHIKI which is this
personality I am referring to, took me into his
confident by informing me about a huge amount he spend
on the purchase of a particular and very important
medicine/ vaccine for his cattle. He require 1800
cartons of this medicine/ vaccine product , he wanted
to know if my company could sort a cheaper supplier of
this product.
Therefore, I discussed this deal with my boss of which
we carried out a market survey of this product and
discovered that this product could be purchase very
cheep in Europe for $2,300.00 USD per carton, my boss
decided to carry out the supply himself. We sent to
the ALHAJI a sample of this medicine/ vaccine ordered
directly from the manufacturing company, I took time
to undergo a little research to know he use to buy the
product for $ 6,300.00 USD, so we made the price at
$4,500.00 USD ) he was satisfy with it. and also the
medicine was exactly what he wanted.
ALHAJI, decide to give us a tray by ordering for 250
cartons of this product we made the supply to him of
which he paid in cash. I was suppose to get 35% of the
total profit derived from this deal, my boss decided
to renegade on our agreement, he breach what we agreed
upon by giving me what he termed an offer of
appreciation, I knew fully well that he used the
company's money for this deal without the consort of
the chairman and the CEO, but I have no concrete
proof. I felt betrayed, he never say any thing to
me pertaining to this deal, so I assume that the
transaction between my boss and ALHAJI has ended I was
disappointed and let down by his greediness. Since
then our relationship has been low and uncompromising
I have since accepted it as one of life experiences.
As faith would have it, I intercepted some mails from
ALHAJI, address personally to my boss, I was shocked
to know that he has made two more supply to him on
June 18th and September 26th 2001 without involving me
in it, also ALHAJI is requesting for the supply of 500
cartons of this product due to the excessive growth of
his animal farm and a little out break of disease
among his cattle in Mali. I contacted the ALHAJI and
convinced him that I can arrange for another
international supplier of this product at a
cheaper rate of $4,000.00 USD per carton but he will
have to pay 50% up front to the international
supplier, i.e. the company, of which he accepted. He
is now waiting for the supplier as he has stopped all
further dealing with my boss. Please take note that we
will be buying the medicine with the 50% up front
payment which will be made to us by MUDASHIKI AGRO
FARM'S MANAGEMENT at the rate of $2,300.00 USD per
carton and sell at them at the rate of $4,000.00 USD
per carton. I will be entitled to receive 35% of the
total profit we make after the deduction of all
expenses.
If you can handle this deal, all you have to do is to
come in as the international supplier.
Please note that ALHAJI MUSA BARAKU DASHIKI must not
know our direct source of purchase as I intend to
continue this deal with him, if not, he will not be
needing our service any more for further supply of
this vaccine.
I am looking forward to a good partnership in business
after the success of this particular supply.
Best regards,
Mr.Gbagbo Lawbe.
..............................................................
Hello
Your proposal seems interesting. Tell me more.
Stuart de Baker Hawke
..............................................................
Dear Sir,
Thanks for responding to my request for assistance.
I do hope we are going to do this business with trust
and to the benefit of you and I.
Actually, I contacted you to support me in this
transaction because I needed somebody to act as the
producer of the vaccine in question. I would also like
you to assure me that you will not treat me like my
boss did to me if eventually we go into this supply.
Mudashiki Farms is situated at Yamousoukoro, a
northern town in Cote d'Ivoire with a corporate office
in Abidjan. The name of the drug as I have already
told you is AX2B,cow vaccines. It is used in treating
cattle disease.
For us to succeed in winning this supply contract,I
told the buyer-Mudashiki Farms(WA),that you are the
manufacturer of the drug. I am going to give you the
contact of Mudashiki Farms, so that you can introduce
yourself to them as the AX2B,cow vaccine manufacturer
one Mr.Gbagbo Lawbe told them of. Find out from them
the quantity they would require, when and their mode
of payment. Any question, do not hesitate to call me
on phone so that I will brief you. Assure them that
your drug is of a high quality and that you are going
to supply them at a cheaper rate.
The President of Mudashiki Farms- ALHAJI MUSA BARAKU
DASHIKI is an old man of about 78yrs. He is an
illiterate, but an Industrialist and a big time
farmer. By the time my boss was supplying him this
drug, I found this man to be an honest man who keeps
to his words. Once we are able to make him trust us
and
can prove to him that the drug is of high quality,he
normally pays 50% of the total purchase in advance.
The balance of 50% will depend on your arrangement
with him.
Coming to my own percentage of the profit,As I already
told you I am going to forward my bank account
particulars to you as soon as Mudashiki Farms makes
the final payment or I come to your country and
collect it.
At this stage, I will like you to go ahead and contact
Mudashiki Farms to introduce yourself.
Their Contact is:
MUDASHIKI AGRO FARMS(a subsidiary of DANGOTE
FARMS(WA)LTD.
Tel:++225 077 33 389
Fax:++225 070 85 574
Email: dangotefarms_ets@hotmail.com
President: ALHAJI MUSA BARAKU DASHIKI
Secretary: MOHAMMED ABDULKADRI.
The most important thing you have to note is that I
have already convinced Alhaji that you are the
manufacturer of this drug and therefore you must not
let them know that you are not.Tell them that you are
going to supply it to them at US$4,000 per carton of
12 bottles(500ml bottle).
When you finish all arrangements with the buyer and
they agree on your conditions, I will then request
that you the contact the London Company, so that
you can arrange with them. Reconfirm from them their
price per carton of 12 bottles which I have already
told you is US$2300.
Below is the contact of the London producers.

Coming to my comission, I am going to have 35%. If you
are OK with giving me 35%,then we can go ahead with
the supplies.
Meanwhile, I sincerely apologise to this late way to
respond to your mail, though I was trying to make
consultations with buyer (Alhaji).
Thanks once again for accepting my proposal. Anything
you do not understand, do not hesitate to call me on
phone so that I can explain it to you.
Waiting for your urgent response.
Yours Sincerely,
Mr.Gbagbo Lawbe.

Hi
O.K. I will contact the manufacturer first then get back to you.
Stew
............................................................
Dear Sir or Madam
My name is Stew de Baker Hawke and I am an american cattle farmer.
I am interested in finding out more about your products. In particular
The AX2B vaccine. Could you let me know more about this product?
Such as what diseases is it used in treating and what is it's cost.
Also any information about your company and other products you supply
would be useful. Do you have a web page perhaps? What is your address?
Thank you
Stew de Baker Hawke
.............................................................
Dear Stew,
I received your mail this morning with many thanks.
Please Sir, I would like you to contact the farmer,
(Alhaji) too. He called me several times during the
week-end and I promised him that the Manufacturing
Company will get in touch with him very soon. He was
complaining of his cattles that dies in hundreds
daily.
Do not forget to tell the farmer that your vaccine is
of high quality and find out his mode of payment,and
when he would want the medicine supplied.
Please do include your contact telephone and fax
numbers for further communication.
Note that we have to act fast to avoid my former boss
from getting access to the farmer. I hope you
understand what I mean.
With best wishes for good business relations.
I remain,
Yours Faithfully,

Well this guy Donald seems very English. I don't remember
being taught to write in capital letters when I went to
school in England. Oh well who gives a tinkers cuss.
........................................................
Hello Mr Lawbe, bad luck I am afraid.
It seems the Afrivet company don't want to deal with me
(see below). I can't answer their questions so it seems
like I will be unable to help you. I thought the deal
seemed to good to be true. Oh well. If you can help answer
the questions I could try again or I could just mail them
back and tell them off for being lousy business types saying
I have a lot of money to spend, cattle interests in Africa etc.
Do you know what disease the vaccination is for? Any information
may be a help.
Stew
........................................................
Dear Stuart Hawke,
Thank you for the information from AFRIVET.
I am going to forward the dealership code to you.
Actually,it is the same dealership code my boss was
using. This code is not particular for him, but can be
used by any other buyer from this part of Africa. It
only shows your area and for them to know the type of
cattle you have in your area. There is no cause to be
afraid, that is what they are suppose to do since they
do not know you as one of their clients and they do
not advertise their medicine. Now, you have the code,
you will send it to them and the code will show that
you are well known dealer with them from Africa.
I inform you in my last mail that, if for any reason
the pose any question, you should get back to me for
clarifications. I am in a better position to clear any
question the ask you.
I want you to send me in your next mail, your
telephone and fax numbers. I will like to furward same
to Dangote Farms for further contact.
Beloow is the code:
ABJ/1214/00AX2B.
Get back to them immediately and let them give you
whatever information you need. As soon as you hear
from
them, you can then contact Dangote farms and introduce
yourself. Do not forget to tell the farmer that your
vaccine is of high quality.
Please do not forget to get back to me by phone, if
you need any more details.
Your's Partner,
Gbagbo Lawbe
Tel: + 225 0771 1719.
...........................................................
Hi Gabago
Thanks for the code number. I will see what I can do. Also can you
tell me more about the farm, the type of cattle and the disease the
medicine is to treat. You see when I mail the supplier and the farmer
I don't want to seem like an idiot. I mean would you do a deal this
big with someone who knows nothing about cattle farming?
Stew
...........................................................
Dear Mr Kleenven
Please allow me to re-introduce myself, I am a man of wealth and taste.
When you mail me have some sympathy have some courtesy and some taste.
I am an American business man but I have investments in agriculture all
over the world, including Africa. I need a supply of the AX2B vaccine for
a farm there. the code is
ABJ/124/00AB2B
Now as you can imagine I want to buy the vaccine at the best possible price.
My people in Africa suggested your company may be worth trying out. I would
need 1800 boxes of 500ml bottles, that's 12 bottles per box. Can you give me
a price on that? Also as much information about your product as possible. I
need to ensure that we are getting what we pay for. I am sure you can
understand that. How many doses are in a 500ml bottle? What is the strength
of the solution? You can see why that would be important. I need to know how
many cows I can dose for the money.
Also I am worried that if you have to make it specially how long will it take
to supply? I need it quickly, like now. Can you deliver to anywhere in Africa
or would I have to organize that myself? Please use all your well learned polities
and get back to me soonest.

Well that's a bit more like it. It seems we are in
the cow vaccine business after all. What about bulls (hit)?
.......................................................
Dear Sir
Thank you for your reply. I will contact my agent in Africa before
I get back to you but I don't expect any problems. The price seems
quite reasonable. However you didn't address the issue of dosage.
As in how many cattle does each bottle vaccinate, 50, 100? Also you
failed to forward any general information regarding the product.
You are correct about the location of the animals however.
That is good.
Please don't think I am or was accusing you of any disrespect,
it is just in my business I am used to getting on with things
and leaving platitudes aside. I apologise if my manner seems
impolite. I don't mean it to.
Send the tems and conditions by e-mail please my FAX is broken at
the moment.

Whew! he knows his cows this one, Bulls to?
..................................................
Dear Dear Stuart Hawke,
I have before once again your mail, which goes to show
that you actually want us to actualise the supplies as
soon as possible.
You do not need to go that lenght with the
Farmer(Alhaji Dashiki).I don't think he has the
interest about how much you know about the vaccine,
his interest is that he is dealing directly with the
manufacturer,who would give him a constant supply of
the vaccine. The most important area is for you to
confirm to him that your vaccine is of high quality,
since the source of supply is a source I know very
well and their vaccine is of high quality. You should
also tell him (Alhaji)that one Mr Gbagbo Lawbe
introduced him to you.
We have to act very fast to enable us to commence the
supply as soon as possible.
Please do include your telephone/fax numbers for
further communication.
Do not forget, if there is any question, do not
hesitate to call me for clarification.
With best wishes for good business relations.
I remain,
Yours Sincerely,
Gbagbo Lawbe

Hello
I note what you say but I still think it would be better if
I knew a bit about the vaccine. Anyway I have included my
last mails with Afrivet. What should I do next?
stew
.......................................................
Dear Stuart Hawke,
I received your mail this morning with mix feelings. I
never expected the kind of language that I received
from you.
Firstly, I will like to clear that there is no time I
asked you for money, neither did I give you any bank
account to send me money in advance. Come to it, I
gave you the contact of the Buyer and the contact of
the Manufacturing Company in far away London. We have
been doing business with this Manufacturing Company
when I was with my former Boss. The Buyer himself have
been receiving this product from us until my boss
decided to be funny and which created the opportunity
for me to contact you for the purpose of do the supply
contract with you.
From this mail that was sent to you, I now believe
that this my email box is not secured any longer. You
should have known that my former boss has been
trailing me by all means and this is the only way he
feel he can spoil my relationship with you. He entered
my email box and used the first mail I sent to you and
amended it that he is sending it from Ghana. He is
fighting a lose battle. I told you all this before
this time and you should have noticed that the man is
at work.
Sir, there is another issue I would like to explain to
you. You see, there is no Country in this world
without bad people and the Western media is not
helping Africa at all. This issue of fraud and scam is
over amplified in the Western Media more than it is in
existence here. Like I said before, there is no
Country of this world without bad people. Name them,
America, Britain, Germany, UAE, even Taiwan and
Tai-two. It could be you that is not good in your
Country, you never can tell.
I believe we are doing this transaction for the
benefit of both us. And when business ends on a good
note, then personal relationship starts.
Please this is my little way of exonarating myself
from any bad name.
Finally, I thank you for the trust and confidence you
have in me and also for sending this mail to me first.
I do believe this will solidify our good relationship
in this transaction.
Kindly include your telephone and fax numbers in your
next mail, as I would like to talk to you for the
first time.
Expecting to hear from you soonest.
Yours Sincerely,
Gbagbo Lawbe
Tel: + 225 0771 1719.
............................................................
Huh! What did I say? Perhaps I lost an e-mail somewhere.
............................................................
Hi
Yes O.K. I belive you. You can't ring me up, you are in the wrong time
zone you would ring late at night and disturb my family. I have tried
ringing you before but I never have any luck.
I have sent the signed terms and conditions to Afrivet and await their
quote then ewe can give the farmer his good price (I hope). They wouldn't
tell me what the stuff costs until I had signed their terms and conditions.
Can you tell me what country you are in? Are you anywhere near the war in
The Ivory Coast?
Stew
P.S. Where the hell is Tai-two :o)
.............................................................
The vaccine "supplier" sent me a woefull word document about
their conditions of sale. It doesn't translate well into plain
text so I will just leave it out. Don't worry gentle reader
you haven't missed much. I faked a signature with Paint and
Photo Editor and mailed it back. I ain't doin no scannin' or
faxin'.

Hello
Sorry about the late reply but my computer broke down and
I had to send it back to the shop to be fixed.
The attachment you sent didn't work (see below).
Could you send it again?
Stew de Baker Hawke
...............................................................
Not really, I was just to lazy to bother about them for
a while. There attached "quote" didn't work though.
...............................................................
Dear Stew,
What is the Position now?

Hi
Sorry about the delay my computer broke down and I had to get it fixed.
I haven't got a quotation from the company yet. They sent and said they
could only supply 1000 bottles but they did something wrong and I didn't
get the quote properly.
I have asked them to send it again.

Dear Friend Mr. Stuart Hawke,
I am beginning to think if you want to do this
business behind me. I am beginning to suspect a foul
play in the whole thing.
What is really going on? I have written you on several
occassions and have not received a single reply from
you. The silence alone makes me to wonder what is
happening behind me. You are my contact and it will
not be good in any ear that you went behind me to do
the supply to the Farmer without my consent.
Please prove me wrong by explaining to me the position
of things now. I will like to eat from the labour of
my hand, I deserve it.
Please my brother, don`t do that to me or think of
doing it to me. You can see below your last mail to
me.
Expecting you urgent reply.

Hello
I am sorry about the delay but my computer broke down again. I
only had it back one day. It had to go back to the shop and took
them ages to fix. It seems O.K. now (I hope).
Afrivet have given me a quote (below) but it didn't come through
the first time and now seems funny about opening and saving properly.
But I can read it so I will just copy and paste it into this mail.
I will conntact the farmer soon. If you can give me any clues as to
what to say to them that would be good. I will see if I can find any
information about that in your old mails.
Here is the quote.
Stew
................................................................
I am just looking through my old mail since my computer
broke down and I found this one.
Who is Sanjay Kumar?
Stew

Dear Sanjay Kumar,
What is the position of things? Have you been able to
contact the Producer? If yes, what is the response so
that I can give you more details.
Like I said before, if in any case you need more
explanations. You should come to me first. I have been
waiting to hear from you on the situation of things as
regards my last mail to you and to enable us meet the

Please get back to me if you need clearance in

The formal contact I gave to you was the one I used
with my former Boss and he has trace to that one. In
that case, I would like you to be using this one and
do not respond to any mail from that one.
Now, what you have to do is to contact the Producer in
London and find out if they could produce the medicine
for you and ask them to give you the quotation for the
1250 cartons x 12 bottles 500ml. It is when you have
collected the quotation from the manufacturer that you
will now transcribe it in your letter-headed paper and
send to the farmer. Below is the contact of the
Producer in London:

....................................................................
Listen Gbarbo, try to actually READ my e-mail for once.
First, you KNOW I have the quote, I sent you a copy of it. $2,000
per carton. A totally crappy document by the way. You would think
that for a $2,000,000 deal they could produce a half decent looking
quote. Don't worry though I will fix it up.
Also they can only supply 1000 cartons at the moment then 250 later.
That is also on the document I sent you. Did you READ it?
Next, I want your opinion on the price. We are charging the farm
$4000 per carton is that correct. You MUST answer me on that point
BEFORE I contact them again. Now although they are asking for "a
good price" and I think a 100% markup is a bit high it means we can
buy the whole lot with their 50% advance and then share the other 50%
between us. For the first batch of 1000 cartons I think we should
get half each that's $1,000,000 for me and the same for you. This
is partly because of all the messing around from your end. If it
wasn't for me you would seem to be incapable of doing this deal at
all. As for the 250 bottles later you can have all the profit from
that deal. The million is enough for me. However I will want $2000
for expenses from the second batch. That will give me one million clear.
I think that is fair.
You go on and on and on about bloody contact details and phone numbers
but you won't answer the simplest questions that I ask you. I keep
telling you that I don't know anything about cows or vaccines etc.
I want some information so I don't seem like a complete idiot when
am dealing with the farmer and Afrivet to for that matter. You have
done this before so tell me everything you know about the vaccine.
What is it for, what does it treat?
The farmer needs the stuff quickly. If you can't answer my questions,
especially about the price we are selling for we will lose the deal.
Stew
......................................................................
That's all as of October 25th. They mess about and mess about.
I wonder when they will get around to asking for money? Still
lets just have a look at who they all might be. The farmer
seems to write a bit like the vaccine supplier, but.

Dear Stew,
I most confess that this is your only mail I
understood very clearly.
If you have collected the quotation at $2000.00, then
transrcibe it at a selling price of $4000.00, on your
company letter headed paper and send it to the Buyer
through the last contact I gave to you for approvals.
Do not allow the buyer to know the contact of the
Producer or the Producer to know the contact of the
Buyer. This is to avoid our losing the deal.
Please do inform me any development, God will bless
our endeavour.

Quite a nice letter with cows and stuff like that in the letterhead.
BUT they want to come and check out my vaccine factory. Now what?
Build one out the back? Perhaps Gbagbo Knows what to do.

Thank you for the information.
I belive you know Mr Gbagbo Lawbe in Africa. I have asked him

Stew de Baker Hawke
....................................................................
Hello Gbagbo
The response is attached. Now what? They want to come and look
at my vaccine making company. But of course I don't have one do I?
Any suggestions? I told them they could ring you if they wanted to.
Stew
....................................................................
I think I see a sting a-comin', ridin' many a mile.
....................................................................
Dear Mr. Stew,
Please do not allow them to visit you, DO NOT. If you
allow them to visit you, it then means we are going to
lose the business.
What you have to do is to write and promise the farmer
that you will send him the sample for them to carry
out the test in their farm in Cote D'Ivoire. Then, you
have to reach the Producing company to ask them to
give you the sample of the AX2B medicine. I will send
you my address where you will send the sample. This is
for me to forward the medicine directly to the farmer
and to make sure that the received it.
May I ask why you have been with-holding your
telephone number and location. At this point of this
business I do not think I will be doing the business
blindly. I do not know how I will trust my money with
you and I do not have even your telephone number. It
means you do not trust yourself. A business of this
magnitude should not be done with such a weak mind.
Finally, forward to me your phone and location for
more trust and confidence.
Expecting to hearing from you soonest.
Yours Partner,
Gbagbo Lawbe
Tel: 225 0771 1719.
......................................................................
Yup! Any followers of J. Cosmo Newbury, Beef Burgher will know what's
coming next. What was that crack about a "weak mind"? Them's fightin'
words. Imaginary cows, imaginary AX2B vaccine, Fake companies and THEY
want ME to give THEM more "trust and confidence". In their dreams.
......................................................................
Hello Mr Lawbe
Of course I won't allow them to visit me. That would blow the whole
deal.
A sample hey? That sounds like a cunning plan and just might work.
O.K send me the address. I will contact Afrivet and the farm.
Don't worry I have a good feeling that all my endeavours will come
to fruition very soonish.
Stew
......................................................................
First the farm.
Dear Mr Dangote
Thank you for the order. The vaccine is being specially made for you
even as I type this e-mail.
Now then as to your vist here. I would be happy to send you the three
letters of invitation and will do so. I will have my secretary prepare
them later today.
However due a high security government contract we are working on at
the moment it unfortunately will not be possible for you and your people
to visit out laboratories at this time. I can say no more on the matter
but if I let slip one word, ANTHRAX you may get the idea.
Would a sample (at no cost to you of course) sent to you in Africa be
suitable for what you have in mind. Please get back to me A.S.A.P. so
I can arrange it.
Yours
Stuart de Baker Hawke.
........................................................................
Then Afrivet, the plot thickens to the consistancy of true bull whatever.
........................................................................
Dear Mr Kleenen
Thank you for your prompt reply. I have spent the last few days
communicating with the African connection of my business. They
are the one who are most aware of the present condition of the
animals there. Now then, they tell me it is their standard
practice to test a small sample of any vaccine before administering
it to the entire herd. I belive that to be reasonable and prudent.
Therefore I would like to ask for a sample. Say 500ml to be sent
to Mr Garbgo Lawbe on the Ivory Coast. I will forward you a delivery
address shortly. Please advise if this can be accomodated forthwith.
Stuart de Baker Hawke
........................................................................
Ol' Mr Kleenex is English isn't he. Well then he should have no
problem understanding that then should he.
........................................................................
DEAR MR.STUART DE BAKER HAWKE,
WE ARE WRITING TO ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR MAIL THIS MORNING AND WOULD
APPRECIATE YOU TO WILL SEND TO US THE SAMPLE OF THE MEDICINE FOR
US TO CARRY OUT THE TEST IN OUR FARM HERE.
AS SOON AS WE CONFIRM THE MEDICINE OK, WE WILL FORWARD TO YOUR

LOOKING FORWARD TO HEAR FROM YOU.

ATTN: MR STUART HAWKE
SIR,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR E-MAIL. WE BELIEVE THAT IF YOUR
CLIENT HAS BEEN A REGULAR USER OF OUR PRODUCT AS YOU
INFORMED US FROM THE ONSET, THEN OUR PRODUCT WILL NOT
BE A AMONG THE NEW VACCINES HE WILL NEED TO TEST. THIS
IS BECAUSE FOR THEM TO HAVE AN IDEA OF THE PRODUCT OR
TO REQUEST IT FROM YOU, MEANS THEY HAVE BEEN USING IT.
WE DEAL STRICTLY WITH PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD EXOEREINCES
WITH THE PRODUCT BEFORE. THERFEORE UNLESS THEY ARE OF
THE IMPRESSION THAT THEY ARE GETTING SOMETHING NEW,
THEY WILL OF COURSE NOT EXPECT TO BE GETTING SOMETHING
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN USING BEFORE.
WE UNFORTUNATELY DO NOT HAVE SAMPLES OF THE PRODUCT.
NEITHER DO WE HAVE PRODUCTIONS IN BOTTLES. THIS IS
BECAUSE THE SHELF LIVE SPAN OF THE PRODUCT UPON
PRODUCTION IS LIMITED IF NOT USED. OUR CLIENTS ARE
AWARE OF THIS. SO WE DO NOT PRODUCE AND STORE THIS
PRODUCT. WE PRODUCE SPECIFICALLY UPON ORDERS AND SHIP
ONCE AN ORDER IS READY. AT ANY PARTICULAR POINT IN
TIME, WE INITIATE A PRODUCTION, THEIR IS A MINIMUM
QUANTITY OF PRODUCT IN LIQUID VOLUME THAT COULD BE
HARNESSED. THIS MINIMUM OUT PUT UNIT CONSTITUTES
ENOUGH OF THE PRODUCT TO FILL 72 BOTTLES OF 500ML
LIQUID CONTENTS ONLY, OR 6 CARTONS OF 500ML BOTTLES OF
THE PRODUCT. AND THIS IS THE SMALLEST UNIT OF
PRODUCTION WE CAN HAVE PRODUCED AT ANY TIME WHEN WE DO
THIS. SO IT IS NOT SOMETHING THAT WE DO FREQUENTLY.
BUT IT IS THE ONLY QUANTITY WE COULD REFER TO BE A
SAMPLE DOSE.THIS IS BECAUSE IF THEY ARE TO BE TESTED
ON LIVE STOCK, IT IS THE MINIMUM ONE FARMER COULD USE
ON A HERD OF CATTLE. BUT SINCE MOST OF OUR CLIENTS
ALREADY ARE USED OUR PRODUCT, WE DO NOT DO NOT RECIEVE
OR ACCEPT SUCH ORDER FREQUENTLY FROM THEM AS IT IS
TIME CONSUMING AND RAW MATERIALS WASTEFUL. BUT AS WE
ARE DEALING WITH YOU FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE COULD
CONSIDER MAKING AN EXCEPTION ON THIS ONE CASE. IF YOU
DESIRE THIS, YOU WOULD HAVE TO PLACE AN ORDER FOR THIS
SPECIAL QUANTITY WHICH WE COULD MAKE ARRANGEMENT TO
HAVE THEM READY FOR YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
PRODUCTION SCHEDULE IS TWO DAYS. AND SHIPMENT COULD BE
DONE SOON AFTERWARDS DEPENDING ON YOUR INSTRUCTION.
THANK YOU
DONALD KLEEVEN
.............................................................
On the same day I also got the following. I don't know
what it means it may be legit. the IP was from Germany
at any rate.
.............................................................
Hello Sir, Good Day,
I guess you had received also a such kind letter below. I need your
advice immediatelly.
My name is Luigi XXXX, I come from Italy. At the moment I am in
German for study.
I need your advice immediatelly,
I have got e-mail from "unknown" friend ( his name George Mc Cullin).
He needs help from me. I just wondered if you can advice me whether
what he has written down here can be trusted.
I did also search from google, and I found exactly what has been
written exactly the same, just different person.
What is the aim for this.
"I AM VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT YOU ARE THE KIND OF PERSON THAT I
COULD TRUST BECAUSE I CAN SEE THAT YOU ARE A DOWN TO EARTH PERSON.
HONESTLY,I COULD NOT EXPLAIN WHY YOUR FRIENDS HAVE BEEN RECEIVING
THE SAME MAILS AS YOU SAID.BUT THE ONLY THING I KNOW IS THAT THE
AFRICAN UNION OF BANKS HAVE BEEN ALARMED IN THE RATE THAT THIER
OFFICIALS HAVE BEEN TRANSFERRING THE MONEY OF THIER DEAD CLIENTS
ABROAD.AND SO HAVE BEEN SENDING OUT SIGNALS AND WARNINGS TO PEOPLE
AROUND THE WORLD TO BE CAREFUL.ALL THIS IS TO DISCOURAGE PEOPLE FROM
USING THIER FORIEGN ACCOUNT TO ABATE SUCH A TRANSFER. WHAT YOU ARE

Hello Luigi.
Nice to hear from you. I assume you are in Hagen Germany or
thereabouts.
I would assume the letter is a scam. Simple, DO NOT under
any circumstances send them any money or tell them where you live.
Be safe not sorry.
Do more google searches I am sure you will find a lot of stuff.

Stay in touch and let me know what you find. I find myself a bit
interested.

Then to Garbo, I fowarded the letter from "Afrivet".
....................................................................
Hello Gbagbo
Now what? (see below).

....................................................................
I would suppose they will want 12 grand to pay for the sample.
We shall see. By the way Garbo's ISP.

And still they come :o)

Hm! very quite on the western (African) front this morning. I wonder if
that Luigi guy has anything to do with that. Or perhaps the Lads have
been reading Scam-o-Rama. Oh well at least all the multitudes of
Abachas have some use. They provide me with bank details from
all over the world. Very nice of them. Time to stir things up.
First to the farm.
....................................................................
Dear Sir
Please find below the bank account details to make the payment to.
Of course you don't have to make the payment until the deal is finalised.
This is just for your information. Please keep the details on file.

Then to the fake "Afrivet" company.
......................................................................
Dear Sir

And finally Garbo. What does he do in all this anyway?
Why should I share all that cash with him? Oh yeah there isn't any
cash or farm or cows or vaccine or antibiotic. There's just Garbo and
his associates. Fair enough. He can have half of his own non existent
money. He can use it to buy more non existing cows 'cos the non existing
vaccine ain't gonna save the ones he hasn't got now from any disease.
Phew! my head hurts. I am beginning to get a re-born fondness for some nice
simple fake Abachas with a nice dodgey lawyer and some fake boxes of cash.
.......................................................................
Hello Gabargo
How are you?
Things are hotting up regarding our deal. I have opened bank account
here in New York to facilitate the money transfer. Don't worry about
the sample batch the farm wants. Afrivet won't make a small amount
so I have told them to go ahead with the whole batch. What is important
is that you have to contact the farm and make sure the money is available.
Now then I have read over the contracts etc that Afrivet have sent me.
I think there is something fishy about them. You see, it seems to me that
this fancy "AX2B vaccine" is not a vaccine at all. It is Just an
antibiotic called Anamacin (see extract below)

Now I suspect that we are being overcharged something wicked for that
stuff. So I plan to shop around for a better deal. In the mean time
let Afrivet put the stuff in the bottles just in case we need it for
the end of month deadline.
I have sent the bank details to the farm and to Afrivet so we should
be all set to go.
No problems.

ATTN: MR STUART HAWKE,
SIR,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR MAIL. UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT
REQUIRE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS FOR A CONFIRMATION
OF ORDER. YOU ARE AWARE OF OUR PAYMENT POLICIES. FOR A
MAJOR ORDER A PRODUTION IS INITIATED WITH A 40%
ADAVANCE DEPOSIT. WE DO NOT START PRODUCTION IN
ANTICIPATION OF A PAYMENT.
IF THEREFORE YOU ARE CONFIRMING YOUR ORDER FOR A FULL
PRODUCTION, WE WILL LIKE TO BE ADVISED ABOUT YOUR
READINESS TO MAKE THE PAYMENT OF A 40% OF COST OF
GOODS. THEN WE CAN FURNISH YOU WITH OUR ACCOUNT
DETAILS TO EFFECT THIS DEPOSIT. ONCE PAYMENT IS MADE,
PRODUCTION WILL COMMENCE.
THANK YOU
DONALD KLEEVEN

Mr.Stuart Hawke,
I have just placed your name on the search web this
morning and came out with result that you are not a
human being, you are an animal, a beast. You are a
beast of no nation. Infact, you are an anti-christ.
How I wish you are in the WORLD TRADE CENTRE on that
September 11.
I do wish toread from you again.
Bye Fool.
....................................................................
Hmm seems a little upset. Just I was thinking of paying the 40%
for the AX2B stuff too. Well maybe :o)
....................................................................
Ho Ho Mugu.
Hows it hangin there Mugu?
Wassamatter? Did a big bad Mugu upset poor little Garbgo?
Ho! Ho! Ho! Fake cattle ranch, Fake Vaccine company. Trying to
scam money off me and whoever else you can get into your pathetic
little schemes.
I hope you like the idea of our correspondence being out on the
internet for all to see.
Ha Ha Ha.
Time to fill up your mail box.
Lord Stewart de Baker Hawke B.S.A.

And that ladies and gentlemen is THE END.
