Unfortunately my company does not allow me to enter into deals like this , however a friend of mine may be interested in your offer - as he is a bit of a wheeler dealer type and is always on the look out for business opportunites. I will forward you e-mail and I expect he will be in contact shortly

Regards.

Spelling of this Lad is appalling - there would be too many remarks to comment practically here - he doesn't want someone to disappoint him or "hang" him on the way but he will like someone to betray him - we can oblige!

My late father was killed in connection of my uncle, since then my unlce have been searching for me to kill as well because he is aware that my father made some deposit with a bank here in Abidjan, however the good news is that he is not aware of the bank nor the amount involve as I collected all the documents that is related to the deposit, base on this I decided to hide till the money is out of Africa, However since the death of my mother , my unlce have collected all our family proparties as a result of all this I seek for your assistance in transfer the money out of Africa for investment purpose as it is my only hope for now.

Thank you for your message. I am sorry to hear of your uncle killing your father it must make family relations rather strained. Did your uncle kill your mother as well as he took all her possessions? He doesn't seem to be a very nice uncle to you. My friend Mr. Roger is an honest person and as such he might not be the best person to deal with this matter of yours, however I will be as honest in these dealings with you as you are with me.

I am pleased to hear there is no risk involved particularly as you are being chased by your murdering uncle - I think we must proceed with utmost secrecy in this matter if we are to be successful.

Can you tell me how much money is involved and what will my share be? I need this money to pursue my other business deals as soon as possible.

Will you send a copy of your international passport as proof of your identity.

I will contact Dr. Bello soon by email so tell him to expect my communication - I hope he is trustworthy and does not know your Uncle. Why is a doctor working in a bank?

I look forward to doing business with you and reaching our successful ghoul.

Yours,

JL

The amount to be transfer is $19.5million, and I have made up my mind to give you %25 for your effort as soon as the transfer is concluded.

Subject: Get Back

Dear Morgan,
It is nice to hear from you again I am pleased to be doing business with you.

I am sorry about your mother and her heart attack - I guess it was the strain of the family murdering each other. Why will you not live to see your uncle happy again - are you ill? Is that why we must proceed quickly?

Mr. Roger would like to help us but he cannot at the moment as he has a secret job working for the government and when he spoke to me he felt that it would be too risky for him as all his email and telephone calls are monitored - he is investigating an anarchist named Guido Fawkezi who is plotting to overthrow the government and it is very sensitive and secret however I think that will be sorted early November - but I am not supposed to know that. He has asked if I could deal with it on his behalf and hopes that we can share our profits together. Whilst your offer is very generous he has asked if there is any possibility of increasing the 25% to 33% so we can share equally - it is only a small increase and Mr. Roger could be helpful if we need some special documents as he has access to all sorts of files and explosives.

You worry me as I thought you said that the money was inheritance money - I am concerned that it may be drug money or the proceeds of money laundering - what business was you father in to get hold of so much money?

I do have some questions - what are the fees we have to pay and who do we pay them to? Could Mr Roger get an affidavit for us and save us the expense as he has access to all sorts of documents? Will there be many other people involved in this as you rightly say we must keep it as secret as possible. - Whose eyes will on us - the government? the secret service? Your uncle? Is this legal? Why is there no risk if eyes are upon us?

Have you told Doctor Bello to expect my e-mail and what do you want me to say to him - I don't want to say anything that would stop our deal from progressing and I don't know if I trust a Doctor working in a Bank - is he honest? When you say it is safe I will contact the Doctor and speak with him.

I look forward to hearing from you soon - oh and if your Uncle is worrying you perhaps Mr. Roger could help through his "overseas" contacts.

Dear John Lilburne

Thanks for your mail. I am glad for your honest and good will. I want us to proceed quickly because of the political crises here which may result to war any moment.

Well since your friend Mr Roger is busy at the moment, he can assist us financially because the bank have said that they will never proceed on the transfer without an affidavit because my father is dead , this will enpower them to make the transfer and prove that money is true inheritance. The affidavit must be provided here in Cote D'ivoire by a lawyer and it will be the lawyer who will sign the release order on your behalf, the affidsavit is very important, I will be going to the bank in the morning to know the amount of clearance of the money laundering and drug in the high court before the affidavit bwill be issued.

Honestly, I took you as my own brother, this money is the last hope I have in life, I made up my mind to offer you 25% I bleive that Mr Roger will be happy for assisting us, I plan to enter into good investment with you as soon as the money is transfer, so we still have so many thing in common, I want you to plead Mr Roger on this issue.

My father was dealling in Cocoa and cafe business which is the major source of income of the country this is where my father made his wealth.

The fees we will pay is for the clearance if drug and money laundering in the high court before the affidavit will be sign and issued. the lawyer will pay it to the high court where the affidavit will be issue.

Mr Roger can not get this affidavit for us because it is something to do with this country as the money will be transfer from this country and moreover the affidavit will prove the cote d'ivoire government that is clean and not from terrorist or money laundering. My brother this project is risk free, because of the amount involve and the situation our country is now, I want us to keep it confidential.

I have informed DR BELLO OSSEY to wait for your contact, just tell him that you are my foreign beneficary and that the money is mearnt for investment purpose. He is not a medical doctor but he had a doctorate degree in banking level.

Please try to contact dr bello soonest, I will still go ,to the bank for more information on how we will proceed.

Dear Morgan or now, Brother Morgan,

I did receive your e-mail last night but for some reason I could not read the attachment - would you be able to send it again as I think it got corrupted in the transfer.

I feel very honoured that you call me your brother and I hope that after this transaction is over we can still remain friends - what do you intend do when the money has been transferred after all you will have a substantial amount to spend - do you like sweets as they are very expensive in the west but very nice. I hear that gob stoppers and gumdrops are very good.

Mr Roger was a bit disappointed that we couldn't share everything equally as he was hoping to leave his secret work and find somewhere warm to live, buy a bar and settle down comfortably is there no way we can vary this as he feels we are taking risks in this. Do you have a picture of the money - perhaps that will cheer him up, he could put it over his bed and fall asleep dreaming of it. This may help.

Did you talk to the bank today to find out what we must do? I will try and send the Doctor Who is working at the Bank an e-mail tonight.- is the email address I have for him correct? I have "bello-eckobankabjci@yahoo.fr" I will try that and copy it to you.

Dear Doctor Bello Ossey,

I understand you are a banking doctor and I have been passed your name by Morgan Briggs who has nominated me as his foreign beneficiary for a financial transaction he has planned for investment purposes.

He tells me you can fix our ills rapidly and transfer a large amount of "inheritance" money out of the country. I believe that this needs to be done quickly as Morgans Uncle seems to be killing his relatives in his search for the money. I hope you are not a relative.

I am happy to say that he has assured me that this money is definitely not the product of Drugs or money laundering but is an INHERITANCE from his father. It is also definitely not terrorist money or money resulting from any illegal activity but comes from thoroughly legitimate sources.

My brother Morgan and I would be grateful for any assistance you might offer in effecting this completely OK transaction.

Do you have a picture of the money to show that the funds have not diminished over the years?

Dear Bother Morgan,

Felicitations and honours be upon you. I have made a mistake with the good doctors address - I misunderstood the Underscore for a hyphen. My first realisation of this was when my message was returned as undelivered mail, but rest assured I have now sent a new email to the Doctor of Banking together with your question of how much the fees will be.

Mr Roger has told me he was upset to here that we could not share equally in this business and is also upset that he has no proof that the money has been deposited - that is why he asked for a picture. He is going to think of something else that may be of benefit to you but cannot say at the moment. His operation is going well and he expects to have the Guido Fawkezi issued resolved by early November.

I have attached my Identity card for your information as requested all my personal details are contained in the bar code on the card if you can read it. If you cannot then worry not as I will feely provided these to you with great joy.

I am honoured that we will be able to share great times of merriment together when this business is concluded and look forward to wasting much time with you. Rest assured that as you are now my brother I will do my utmost to ensure your safety using all my skills and resources - you can feel safe with me and my mercenary friends - we protect each other.

Please do not forget to send your picture again as I could not open your last attachment and I still do not have your picture.

Subject: It wont be long

Dear Brother Morgan,

Sorry I haven't been able to get back to you before but I have been having problems with my ex-wife, she is after me for lots of money in maintenance because we are getting divorced. Just recently she hired a private detective to trace my whereabouts and I have discovered she has had my phone bugged to try and find out where I keep my money hidden - I think she wants to steal it from me but I wont let her - it is in a very safe place where she will not think of looking.

I have received a contact from Doctor Bello, the bank Director Doctor Who has given me the name of the lawyer to contact - his email address is tigani22johnson@yahoo.co.uk. and I will be contacting him shortly.

I have received all the pictures you sent of the documents together with your passport photo which seemed OK this time - What a nice picture it is of you as well - I bet you have lots of girls chasing you!!

I have spoken to Mr. Roger and he seems OK - Now we have the documents he seemed a bit happier.

I am a little bit confused at the moment - perhaps you could clarify something for me. The good Doctor has told me that we need the affidavit to show the money is drug trafficking and laundry free yet the remittance document contains a statement that the account holder has already declared that the funds deposited are lawfully and properly acquired, are for the purposes of buying machinery etc and that you, my brother Morgan are the account holder and are already empowered to nominate me as your foreign business partner and that as soon as you nominate me to the bank (which we have done already) the bank will transfer the funds. This document has already been signed by Lawyer Tigani so I do not understand why we need to involve him anymore - cant we just get on with the transfer?

I have to provide details of my bank - which I need to set up because my ex-wife is chasing me for money and I don't want her to find out about this stash so please bear with me while I do this and I will send you the details when it is sorted.

If you need it my fax number is 1(501)637-8107 (this is an efax number set up on a 30 day free trial) if you need to send me something. I will contact Doctor Bello as soon as I can (probably tomorrow).

You will be pleased to know that Mr Roger has made great headway with his secret case - he has discovered that Guido is plotting to explode something - he doesn't know what yet but it is pretty big - in fact he thinks it is a very clever plot that may result in a model that could be used to overthrow many governments in the world - if you are still having trouble with your terrorists perhaps Mr. Roger can help - I will ask him! - I only advise him on freedom strategy and rights of the people. Mr. Roger is currently planning to use his share of the money to finance his own band of mercenaries called the New Model Army and I am writing their manifesto - exciting times brother don't you think. Perhaps we can make you a general after this then your Uncle had better watch out - what do you think?

I have been nominated by Mr. Morgan Briggs an account holder at the Doctor's bank as his foreign business partner for the transfer of lawfully and properly acquired funds from DAVID BRIGGS ACCOUNT EB-CI-018942819 for the purposes of purchasing and procuring materials, equipments, machineries and accessories for a proposed industrial project that has absolutely nothing to do with terrorism, money laundering, drugs, fraud or any other Illegal activity whatsoever. As certified by yourself in the General Trust Account Deposit Agreement dated 20th February 2000.

i do not know you but I am instructed to tell you that you are to keep very secret this transfer of $19.5 million dollars to an unknown foreign account. I understand that you will be requiring to do some work in order to effect this very legal transaction and do humbly and ever so politely request that you tell me what exactly is your involvement in this and how much you wish to extract from us to cover your "Expenses".

After this business is over I will be setting up in a revolutionary new venture that may require the good services of an expert lawyer, it will involve travel, meeting all kinds of people, public speaking, politics and establishing a new form of government.

Dear Sir/Madam

The honourable Dr Bello Ossey of EcoBank yesterday related to us about your international transfer $19.5m from the EcoBank Abidjan Cote D'ivoire. The bank made us to understand that the Inheritance funds were deposited with confidence account of their bank by Mr DAVID BRIGGS the depositor who is late, hence the bank needs an affidavit from the high court to carry out the transfer in a legal way and make their necessary deductions, to avoid problems in the future.

** Further the affidavit will be a prove of true inheritance money and NOT funds meant for laundering for drug.**

We are capable of representing you both in signing the release BOND , getting the affidavit and making sure that the transfer is fully completed legally,

*** You will need to forward $2,620. dollars the duties of moneylaundering/DRUG clearance that is required in the high court before the affidavit will be endorsed and issued ***.

We wished to inform you that since our political crises every funds that is above $1 million dollars that is to be transfer out of Cote D' ivoire attract some duties for the clearance. We will have to apply for the affidavit, as soon as we receive the money we will offset the duties and the affidavit will issued to the bank for your transfer, and a copy will be forwarded to you by DHL Courier services for prove of Genuine inheritance transfer in your country.

Because of the urgency required, you are advised to send the money through Western Union with the name of our secretary MR FRITZ E. MILDNER, address Rue 6 Avenue 37 Rue de Paris Cocody Abidjan Cote D'ivoire West Africa. We will receive it the same day and proceed on the affidavit.

Finally , *** AT THE END OF THE TRANSFER YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY OUR HANDLING CHARGES OF $15,000.00 DOLLARS**** .

Looking forward hearing from you.

Yours sincerely
Mr T. Johnson Esq.

My Brother John

How are you today, I have been sick since today, I dont know why?

Please try your best to take easy with your wife and make sure that she is very confortable so that there will be no problems.

I am glad that you have recieved the contact of the lawyer, dr bello ossey told that he act as the supervisory attorney to their bank for many years now and that he is capable of handling the transfer on your behalf.

Please dont be confused, we need to act according to the directives of the bank, they told me that since my father is dead that the bank must have affidavit inother to proceed and since there is political crises in this country the court can not issue the affidavit without a clearnce of drug and money laundering, actuall everybody knows that the money is clean from all those rubish but the certificate must be obtain from the high court.

I am into hiding, there is nothing my wicked uncle will do at this moment. Please dont worry for anything, I am the next of kin to the deposit and I have the right to nominate who the beneficary will be, of which you have been nominated.

Try your best to see that the lawyer secure the affidavit at least early next week this is very important, whatever cost that is required dont mind , try your best to co-erate with him since it is the only expenses that we will do in the transfer.

I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks

Subject: With a little help from our friends

Dearest Brother Morgan,

I have received a reply from your lawyer Tigani Johnson who has said we need to send $2,620 for "the duties of money laundering/DRUG clearance that is required in the high court before the affidavit will be endorsed and issued" what does he mean for duties of money laundering etc - is his English bad?

He has also said that we will need to pay $15,000 dollars at the end of the transfer to cover the handling charges - what handling charges? It seems he is asking a lot of money for doing nothing. All he needs to do is make a signed affidavit stating money is legal. Take it to the court and get them to authorise it. I do not think your lawyer is being fair with us and I do not understand what his handling charges are - can you explain please.

Your Lawyer has asked that we send the money to Mr. Fritz E. Mildner - who is he? I thought that we were trying to keep this matter secret - Why can I not just send the money to you and you pay the lawyer? I am a little concerned that more people are becoming involved in this - which increases the risk involved.

Mr. Roger has heard that Guido's conspirators phones have been tapped and through his surveillance operations he has discovered that Robert Catesby (a friend of Guido's) has met with Thomas Percy, (age 44) a prominent member of the Catholic sub-culture with powers at court, Mr. Catesby, has said he wants to kill the Royal family. Apparently he told Percy: "I am thinking of a most sure way (ie. to kill the Royal Family) and I will soon let you know what it is". Thomas Winter and John Wright are already in technical violation of the law having travelled more than five miles from their homes without permission. Mr Roger believes it will be November when it would all end. (these characters are part of the original gunpowder plot from 1605)

So you see I hope Mr. Roger can find out more details and stop this from happening.

My ex-wife is being a bit of a nuisance as her detective keeps following me in his car but bear with me as Mr. Roger thinks he has a way of Ògetting ridÓ of my problem. Be patient.

I am pleased we have Mr. Roger as our friend as he can do lots for us - I know that his plans for the New Model Army are proceeding well and I have completed the First part of our manifesto, but we do not want Guido interfering with our plans so we must arrest him soon. Briefly our policies include: voting rights for all adult males, annual elections, complete religious freedom, an end to the censorship of books and newspapers, the abolition of the monarchy and the House of Lords, trial by jury, an end to taxation of people earning less than £8000 a year and a maximum interest rate of 6%. What do you think?

Do you want to be a general in our army - that way, my brother, we can take care of your wicked uncle by removing your problem - permanently - do you have a picture of him or any details from which we can trace his whereabouts? Do not worry if you have not as Mr. Roger (he will tell you his real name soon) has enough contacts to find out this information himself, we already now he was your fathers brother etc.

Looking forward to hearing from. Rest assured all our troubles will be over soon!

Peace and blessings,
Your brother
Freeborn John

Dear Brother John

Thanks for your mail and your good effort.

I went to the lawyer's office this morning to get some clearifications on certian issues you wrote.

1.The lawyer Mr Johnson said that he enquired from the court on how much the cost for the affidavit and clearance will be as we advised DR BELLO OSSEY and he said that the total amount is $2,620 dollars equvelent to our country's currency.

2.he said that this money will be paid in cash to the court register before everything will be done.

3. He said that he did not want to charges us upfront that is why he related to you the cost of his work and representations will be $15,000 dollars and he said that this will be paid to him as soon as he get the transfer done with all the paper works signed on your behalf.

4. He expalined to me that Mr Fritz Mildner is his secretary and that he is the one who handle all matters related to cash in their office, after this explanations, I understood all he mearnt.

However I will advise you to send the money to him as he advise because as you know, I am working about because of treat from my uncle,(don't send the the money to me) the best thing is to send the money to him so that he will proceed on the things required for the transfer.

I want you to understand that all is in control, nother person is involve in this affiars.

Please my good brother, I want you to send this money to the attorney as he advise as soon as possible, so that the transfer will be done this week, my condition here is so bad and I am beeing treated by my uncle.

Thanks for the good informations on our friend Mr Roger I pray he get his work finalised soon. As soon as I join you we will discuss on how I will deal with my uncle okay. Please my brother you equally mean alot to me, never you let your wife to harm you in any way, because I can not invest this money without you, so be very careful with her.

I informed the lawyer to proceed on the appilications of the affidavit, so he will do that today , please send the money to him as soon as possible.

I hope to hear from soonest.
Yours brother

Subject: I'll be back

Dear Brother Morgan,

Thank you for your recent message but you give me some concerns. I am a bit reluctant to send this money to your lawyer as I am not sure he is trustworthy in this matter however I will take your judgement into account. I am concerned about why the payment needs to be made in cash as most courts do not deal with cash, it is certainly more usual to have bank transfers for any money due so I would like to make one more effort, if we need to pay money to the court can you give me the address of the court that will be dealing with this as I will be able to pay them direct - which is much safer as we are not dealing with cash and it would be quicker and you keep telling me that speed is important, all your lawyer will need to do is submit the affidavit to the court and when they have confirmed the transfer has been received we may proceed.

I agree to the lawyer deducting his fees of $15,000 dollars from the total deposited in the bank - this again is usual in my country and as he does not need his fee until the transfer is completed it should not present any problems. I presume we will be sharing this cost equally and it does not come wholly out of my share, particularly as I will be financing the initial $2620.

I am very concerned that your condition is bad and that your uncle is treating you for your illness, are you sure he is not trying to poison you - how did he find you? I thought you were in hiding from him and he did not know where you are? Is this true or just a misspelling of THREATNING - which of course means something very different - I am confused, please explain.

I will send a message to your lawyer as I would like to see a draft of the affidavit before it goes to court as it will be in my name and I would like to make sure it is properly prepared - I will send a message to lawyer Tigani to this effect.

Something has come up with Mr. Roger and I must leave for China today - I hope to be back by the end of the week however I may have access to a computer some of the time but please do not worry if you do not hear from me over the next two to three days I will tell you all about it later.

Still there is a lot to be done and hopefully this will be sorted when I return - if it is OK to pay the court let me know today otherwise I will deal with the transfer on my return.

You have not indicated if you are interested in joining our New Model Army - don't worry we have many roles for you to play and can offer training - we need resourceful people like you who have access to millions of dollars as we can really do with the money to help us finance the revolutions we get involved in.

Don't forget to send the draft affidavit!!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon my dearest revolutionary brother.

May the angels watch over you whist your uncle treats you.

Subject: Tell Me Why

Dear Mr T. Johnson Esq.,

Greetings to you and thank you for you previous message in this matter I understand my brother Morgan Briggs has been in contact with you today to discuss some issues and concerns that I have,

My brother, blessings be bestowed upon him, has explained that $2620 must be paid to the court before the affidavit stating that the money is legitimate and will be used for legitimate purposes is obtained. Also that I understand the affidavit will be in my name. I understand from your last missive that you will be representing me in signing the release bond and obtaining this affidavit. How will this work - do you need me to sign anything or will you be forging my signature on my behalf (this would seem simpler and quicker). I presume you will be sending me copies of the draft documents for approval over the next few days.

I have expressed concern about dealing with cash with the court as this is most unusual in these days of electronic transfer facilities. If you would send me the following information I can arrange payment direct to the court which should speed up the process somewhat. I will need:

Address and Title of Court together with recipient (presumably the clerk to the court or the registrar)
Case Number:
Bank transfer details
Date payment due by:

Once I receive this information I will make the transfer direct - simple eh and much less risky knowing the crime levels around - I would not wish to put your personal safety in jeopardy from being mugged or anything.

I look forward to receiving your draft documents shortly.

Have you given any consideration to my offer of providing legal advice to our New Model Army, a small mercenary group dedicated to destabilising governments where local officials exploit the good citizens of the country by making them work very long hours for very little money. We can pay very well. Are you knowledgeable in International law at all?

The affidavit/clearance fees of $2,620 will be in cash to the court by the lawyer who is handling the transactions, we have political crises here at the moment there are certain restrictions and laws abiding our country , so you have to send the money as I early advised you by Western union money transfer with the name of our secretary given, your brother is here , he will monitor how the process goes and as soon as the affidavit is issued to the bank, we will be sending the hard copy to you by DHL for prove of true beneficary and geniue transfer.

We have applied for the affidavit today still waiting for the fees to offset the duties.

We assure of our good services.
Looking forward hearing from you.

Subject: Happiness Is a Warm Gun

Dear Brother Morgan,

How are you - sorry I was not really able to contact you whilst visiting China - things were getting a little bit heavy down there and I have had a lot to do. I found an Associated press article which you may be interested in about our activities - however they do get their facts wrong sometimes - the people that were killed attacked our soldiers first in the hope of persuading us to give up - having discovered that we were stronger than they then try to cover up their mistakes by pretending that we just go round shooting people - of course we don't. I will be a bit tied up over the next couple of days but things should return to normal next week.

I think I should explain to you (as you may have guessed by now) that Mr. Rogers real name is Oliver Cromwell - he is still in china and is due to come back early next week for a few days - he wants to correspond with you as he feels this is taking too long and he really could use the cash. Particularly that things have now kicked off in China.

On the other issue, he understands that Robert Catesby was interrogated whilst we were in China and has revealed that Guido Fawkezi has rented a property close to the House of Lords. The basement to this property actually goes underneath the building and it is our belief that he intends to use this basement to store some explosives with intent to blow up the House of Lords. We have put CCTV camera in place and we are hoping to catch them red-handed whilst storing their explosives. Unfortunately we can do nothing at the moment as the basement is empty - we believe the operation is scheduled for November 5 - so we are currently getting security arrangements in place.

I am concerned for your alarm at the political situation in your country - do you need assistance from us as we do not wish this deal to fail - we have already identified some of the uses we will put this money to - I expect you can guess what they are by now.

Have now fear for us my brother as we are well protected - as you will be very soon.

As you do not wish us to send the money direct to the court (which we would prefer) Oliver Cromwell has instructed me to use our normal route of money transfer as he considers it more secure than your system of using Western Union. I have already put our system in place and will explain how it works - you should have the $2,620 in your hands by Monday.

We have an account at Ikobo, we have arranged for a deposit to be transferred to Mr. FRITZ E. MILDNER, address Rue 6 Avenue 37 Rue de Paris Cocody Abidjan Cote D'ivoire West Africa. Ikobo have acknowledged our transaction and have arranged for an IKard to be sent to Mr. Mildner at this address. When he receives the Ikard he should take that to an ATM machine (anyone will do) and he will then be able to draw the money from the machine. That gives him the cash you want but makes the transaction untraceable and much more secure. Further, having got the Ikard we can transfer any amount of money you wish to cover your expenses within the time it takes to send a e-mail, neat eh!. You should tell Mr Mildner to expect his card by Monday at the latest. If you wish I could arrange for a card to be issued to yourself and Dr. Bello to make collection even faster - I will send a card for Dr. Bello to the Ecobank but I will need your address for your card.

Let me know if you have any issues with this - we want to complete this transaction within a week or two to tie in with some arms that are on offer to us following the gulf war.

Subject:: Let It Be

Dear Brother Morgan,

How can you question my seriousness with this, I am surprised that you raise this point. Indeed I am taking great risks in dealing with you and ensuring that this matter remains secret. I have tried many ways to speed up this process, I have offered to pay the court direct - in which case the transaction would have already been completed, I have made arrangements for an anonymous transfer payment which, I believe is the most secure way - that I have had to subsequently cancel because it was unacceptable to you, I have informed you when I am available for contact and when I am away. Really I do not feel I have caused you delay, in fact it is your insistence to do things differently to the way I would have preferred that has caused the delay.

Anyway as I explained in my last email to you Oliver Cromwell and myself both wish this transaction to be completed as soon as possible otherwise we will loose the opportunity of an exceptional arms deal. In fact if you had done things as I had suggested we would already be well down this road.

It is this Western Union system that has caused delay, where I live there is no Western Union office (and they are not open at weekends here) however I have found one but it means I will be travelling about 50km to reach the nearest branch which I will do tomorrow. I will send the transfer details when I have made the drop tomorrow.

On other matters has your lawyer got all the documents ready?

Rest assured that our mercenaries will be at your disposal after this transaction is made and your uncle will be history brother.

Has Oliver contacted you yet - he got back from China yesterday and wishes to talk about the bank account details you will need to complete the transfer. I must admit that I find it strange you have never raised this matter yet. Also has your lawyer drawn up an agreement concerning the share of the deposit and allowable expenses?

Let me know when you hear from Oliver.

I am questioning of the delay in this transfer because I want to join you soonest, I am not happy to be here on fear because of my uncle.

The lawyer is set to proceed on the affidavit, I even went to his office this afternoon and he told me that he is not the one holding the transfer, that as soon as he receive the money that he will proceed on the affidavit and clearance, please I will like you to provid your full address because he said that as soon as he secure the affidavit that he will be sending the hard copy to you for prove of true beneficary and geniue transfer in your country, while you hurry your friend on account details where the money will be transfer, if the affidavit is issued the next thing the bank will proceed on the transfer.

I want you to understand that I have taken you as my own brother, I dont have to be so inqusitive over issues, I beleive that you must arrange a good and safe account with Oliver that is why I kept silient.

The lawyer said that he will draw the agreement before the weekends, I remindered him of that today, as soon as it is ready I will forward it to you.

I will surely inform you as soon as I hear from Oliver, meanwhile ,is he with my telephone number and email address?

Hello Mr. Morgan,

It is with great pleasure that my companion, John, has informed that our business matters are proceeding well.

As you are by now no doubt aware, we are engaged in establishing new revolutionary and libertarian forms of government on behalf of oppressed people. You will be pleased to know that our current little matter in China is proceeding well despite the tragic loss of life over the last week. However on cannot make an omelette without breaking eggs can one. Sometimes these things must come to pass to bring about a greater good.

I was disappointed that you would not consider raising our proportion of this transaction as we do need the funds to progress our movement, however I will agree to dispose of your Uncle, whom I understand is troubling you, in the near future I am planning a small expedition to Monrovia, I am sure that Abidjan will not be too much trouble to accommodate. A small expeditionary force of about a dozen men will be despatched over the next 4 weeks to deal with a minor matter and we will enter your country from the North with a view to enlisting some support, once achieved we will visit you in Abidjan to collect a cash sum as proof of your honest intentions before agreeing to transfer these funds from your country. I am sure you understand the need for security. We will be armed but that should not alarm you, we have well trained musketeers and cavalry.

It is my intention to free you as soon as possible from your oppressors and this as you may appreciate will cost some money - hence the reason for my request to increase our share to equal proportions.

I am sure you will appreciate the efforts we are making on your behalf just as we appreciate the assistance you have been offering us.

It is important that this transaction proceeds as planned and I have instructed my companion John to expedite the small expenses you require. We will need this reimbursing at some stage of course.

On my other matter concerning Guido Fawkezi I expect a successful conclusion tomorrow.

Assuring you that we now have sufficient information to proceed,

Yours honourably

Dear Brother Morgan,

It is now imperative that I see a copy of the affidavit - even in draft form. We must approve this before completion. I have included the details of your money transfer though I was a little concerned as we have a programme in the UK that gives work opportunities to young people and I think that my transaction was their fist one as the girl dealing with it kept asking me how to do it. Anyway after about an hour in their office I came away with a supposedly complete transaction details are given below:

UK Agent Details: FIRST CHOICE
MTCN: 6754256708
Amount: $2,620
Recipient Name: Emmanuel Agoha, SGBCI 01 Bp 1355 Abidjan 01 Abidjan , Abidjan 01
Sender: John Lilburne

Please do not worry about your uncle we believe we are getting close to tracing his identity and will soon resolve the problem for you.

Unfortunately I cannot give you my address as I am moving location frequently for security reasons and I cannot predict which safe house I will be staying in when you send the details - however you may use my fax number (1(501)637-8107) which I keep with me or you may scan the document and send via e-mail. If your lawyer requires it I can sign and send back a document giving him limited power of attorney, which may be a simpler solution.

I have passed your contact details to my commander, Oliver together with all contact details of your colleagues, he is currently looking into some matters in Liberia and will be contacting you shortly. I would suggest that future e-mails contain the name ÒJoe RookÓ for security. It would be helpful to prove your identity to us to have a picture of you holding a sign saying the name Joe Rook as I have been advised that I will need to recognise you when we meet. I am sure you understand the need for this security measure but we must insist on this now as matters are getting critical and there is a possibility some email messages may be intercepted.

Assuming you of my continued interest in pursuing this matter.

May the Angels watch over you and promote your continued health.

Got this next email twice on 06/11 once at 13:32:37 GMT and again at 13:32:45 (GMT) - so I wondered if I had worried him (tee hee)

Dear brother John

My friend went to the Western Union this morning to pick up the cash, he came back only to tell me that they told him that the MTCN: 6754256708 was not correct and moreover they asked him the question and anwser that follows the money transfer.

I am confused, I called the lawyer this morning and told him that you have sent the money that I will forward it to him as soon as possible at the same time pick up the power of attorney from him, please if you sent the money, I need the corect details or you can send the recipt of the Western union by scaning to me so that it will be very easy for my friend.

Further I will like you to finalise on the account details with your friend and send me the informations or you send it to the bank direct.

I am waiting urgently to hear from you.
Yours brother Morgan

Dear brother Morgan,

I was distressed to receive your email concerning the Western Union Transfer I have tried to speak to the office on the telephone today however they were unable to explain why you were unable to receive the transfer. They suggested that I called in tomorrow with my documentation and they would look into it for me. I will travel over to their office first thing in the morning, as something seems to have gone wrong. What they did suggest was that if they have managed to trace the transfer by tomorrow - and it has not been collected they would cancel the transaction and resend - it might be something to do with the amount. The latest suggestion is that I make two transfers of $1310 as there may be a limit on amounts over $2000, as I am a new customer.

Please do not concern yourself I will do my best to get this matter resolved tomorrow. In view of recent events I must insist that you send a photo of yourself holding a sign with the name ÒJoe RookÓ for security, as we will need to have proof of your identity for our visit planned shortly. It is important that you use this name to protect your own identity and to ensure that our e-mails have not been interfered with - this is all I will ask that you do so please humour me and send a picture soon - it is now urgent you do this.

I have attached a newspaper article following the successful arrest of Guido Fawkezi (Guy Fawkes) yesterday. The hidden surveillance cameras worked fine and we caught Guy Fawkes, Robert Catesby, Thomas Percy, Thomas Winter and John Wright together with 2500lbs of High Explosive - England is safe once more. The operation was extremely involved which is why I have not been in contact and we had representatives from MI6, Special branch as well as the SAS standing by to defuse any electrical detonation devices. All in all it was extremely successful and a cause for celebration. Oliver and I were up until the early hours celebrating today - wish us well my brother. However we would have preferred the press did not get hold of this story and we are now investigating the source of the leak. Please confirm to me that you have not told anyone of this mission.

I will contact you again when I have returned from the Western Union Office.

Have you given any more thought to joining out organisation? We could do with someone as resourceful as yourself.

Yours explosively

Freeborn John



This was not contrived it has come from the evening standard newspaper the only alteration made was to delete the date 1605 from the end of the second paragraph.

Secondly, I told you that I don't normally go out because of my unlce , so to take this picture will be a problems to me, I hope you have my international passport and my address, is that not enough?

I dont know wheather you have finlaise the account informations with your friend, this is very urgent.

I wrote to you to send the scan documents of the copy of the Western union paper they gave you, that will help my friend get the money out because the lawyer is surpose to secure the affidavit today.

The office of the western union here requested , the control numbers of the money sent, the question and answer of the money sent for us to get the money out.

Please act urgently on this I am worried.

I will try to get the full picture of my uncle so that you document it incase if you guys comes around okay.

Subject: We can work it out

Dear Brother Morgan,

I have been back to the Western Union office and they did trace the payment I made. Fortunately they were able to recall they payment as it had not been collected - they confirmed that the number I had given you was correct and offered no explanation as to why the transfer had failed so it is a bit of a mystery. However because we had such difficulty I was asked if I could speak to the manager of the branch. He became very concerned about a couple of things.

Very diplomatically he asked if I had had difficulties sending money to this address before and he became more concerned when I explained that this was the first transfer I had made. He asked me if I knew the people that I was sending the money to so I explained that we had a business arrangement and that this transfer was to facilitate the obtaining of some legal documents etc (but I did not mention why).

He then told me about something called a 419 scam which seems to be part of some deal in Nigeria where a large sum of money needs transferring out of the country and that many people send money to facilitate legal fees charges etc but there is no money and many people are left out of pocket. He suggested that before I transfer any money at all I get this checked out and satisfy myself that this is a legitimate deal and not part of this 419 thing. He has me worried - are you as honest as you say you are?

I know you have sent your passport picture but under the present circumstances I will need more proof of identity from you as your picture could be a scan of anyone's passport really. I have no proof that the money actually exists and no real proof that you are who you say you are. Please could you arrange to have your picture taken holding the sign saying ÒJoe RookÓ as proof of your identity - you do not have to go outside for this as you can take your picture inside. This will prove to me that you are who you say you are.

I do not trust Dr. Bello as I have telephoned the Ecobank in Abidjan and they had never heard of him. Incidentally the address of the bank is Avenue Terrason de Fougères (not Pougeres as in your document) 01 B.P. 4107 Abidjan 01Tél: (225) 20.21.10.41Fax: (225) 20.21.88.16Télex: 22504 ECOBNK CI / 23266 ECOBNK CI and your telephone numbers seems to be incorrect - please can you explain this.

I will also need proof that the money is real and require your assistance in coming up with some form of more meaningful proof than the docket you sent earlier. - Perhaps a picture of the money with someone standing by it holding the Joe Rook sign would do.

I will need this information from you before I am satisfied that you are genuine in your business dealings with me. I will then arrange to transfer the funds you require to complete this deal.

I look forward to your response soon

Your ever careful brother

Freeborn John

Thanks for your mail, I am so confused that you are not standing by your words, I am afraid, I am not sure of this money as soon as it is in your account.

Please I can not take any picture with any sign, if this will warrant the end of the whole deal that is good., I can not understand why you turned every thing to be like this, if you are not interested to move ahead, there is some one who is ready to assist me in the transfer now.

I have demanded your address you refused to forward, I dont have you telephone number still I strongly beleive in you.Now you are sacared of send the little money needed for the transfer, what do you think that I will gain contacting you on something that is not existing, my brother think about dealing with me or you forget about it, I am tied.

Subject: Help!

Dear ÒBrotherÓ Morgan,

Your reply is startling considering the effort I have been through to send this money to you. As I explained to you earlier I am moving addresses for security purposes so if you want my current address it is 10 Elm Street, London, WC1X OBJ Telephone: 020 7239 7272 however I will be there until Monday evening when I will move again - if you do phone tell whoever answers you are Joe Rook from Abidjan and you wish to speak to John Lilburne concerning money to be sent to Abidjan they will need to know why you wish to speak to me and may ask you about the business we are conducting, I have no control over this but if you wish to ring then do so but be careful to explain exactly why you want to speak to me or they will not put you through - remember it is a secure house and such measures are always necessary - if you do not do this you will not be put through, as a show of faith I will give you a new address and number on Tuesday after I have been relocated.

Now, please answer my previous questions: Why is Dr Bello Ossey not known at his bank, provide specific proof of identity and proof that this is not what the manager of the Western Union office referred to as an a fraudulent attempt to gain money.

To answer your questions - what have you to gain - answer $2620 of mine - so far you have not deposited any money in any account of mine so that is not an issue. I have explained I require these funds not for personal gain but to buy arms and ammunition to assist in our military objectives to free oppressed people from tyrannical forms of government - your country is on our list as is your uncle so please answer my questions so we may proceed once more.

I am sure you understand why I require this from you

Let us continue as we have come so far already

The bank account is ready and we have ensured that it is able to accept up to $20m as required - this has already cost us around £1000 to set up so be assured we are serious. As soon as you conform to my request for Photo + Proof as outlined to you we can proceed. So, my brother, the ball is in your court, if you want to proceed then comply with my request otherwise I will assume the worst.

Yours determinedly,

Freeborn John

The address and telephone number quoted is the Serious Fraud Squad Headquarters in London. More to come?

Thanks for your mail.

I still repeat I can not take any picture, since the death of my father I have been having so many experiances, by now I surpose to learn my leason.

I trust you and willing to continue with you in this project but if it will warrant exposing me, lets put a stop.

I can not not call you with the condition you gave, as I will not like to lie or accepting that I am Joe Rook, you better call me if you want on +22507 514401 you will speak with me direct.

I dont know what else you want from me, you have the deposit certificate and agreement from the bank on the dauy of dep™sit.

I dont know dr bello ossey very well as informations told me that he was transfered from their office in Ghana some months ago, by now he is not surpose to be purpular like that in the bank, please I am pleading to you even if you are not going to proceed with me, never you insult dr bello ossey as he will be in good position to help me in the transfer, I saw him as a very good and God fearing man.

I can not understand why every thing turned like this but I strongly beleive that things will be alright soonest. Get intouch with me inother to know which way I have to follow.

Dear Brother Morgan,

We seem to have reached an impasse as I do need proof of who you are your photograph taken in the manner I have explained will not expose you as you will be sending it to me, your trustworthy brother solely as an act of faith so we may proceed in this transaction.

I like you wish to overcome this difficulty; indeed you should be very pleased that I am so security conscious as my discretion will continue to protect you. You need not worry about your Uncle - he will not be bothering you as we both know.

I have tried to ring the number you gave but have been unable to get through - for some reasons the phone rings, makes some strange gurgling noise and then cuts out - occasionally it just goes dead and then disconnects itself - do you have problems with the phones where you are?

As I stated previously the deposit certificate and agreement from the bank do not conform to bank documents (I have checked with the bank by fax and they deny the existence of these documents) so I do need you to explain these discrepancies. There is no proof at this stage that the money actually exists and as such I require alternative proof. Perhaps you can take the money out of the bank and store it somewhere for collection by Oliver when he visits you country soon - do you have access to a secure warehouse.

I am still unsure of Dr. Bello and will check with the head of personnel at Ecobank in Ghana to see if they have any records - this will help reassure me if they have.

Has the affidavit been drafted and will you send me a copy for approval - after all I will be paying for it.

Please arrange to conform with my simple request so we may proceed.

Yours trustingly,

Freeborn John

Brother John

Thanks for your mail.

The last time I will relate to you this,I have my decission. I CAN NOT TAKE ANY PICTURE.

My telephone numbers +2250751 4401 is working perfectly, but you have to dial as written after dialling your country's dialling out numbers.

The deposited certificate I forwarded to you is 100% okay there is nothing wrongh with the deposit made by my father, allyou have to understand is that the said funds are with the confidence account of the Ecobank as bond, so to trace the existence of this funds depends on the on the advise of the next of kin.

The bank have made me to understand that, they will act on my advise and instructions if only the affidavit will be obtained from the high court, base on this I can not arrange anything with them now.

I have related to you that if there is no love , understanding and honest, this deal will never work out, so you have to decided wheather to assist me or not so that we will not be wasting our time for nothing, I have given to all the prove that your required.

The lawyer have given to me the power of attorney, but how can I send ityou with this situation you have created.

You can go ahead with any investigations but understand that dr bello ossey is no more with the Ecobank in Ghaha.

This money is the only thing I inheritaed from my late parents, I dont want to hear any funny stories, you must attend to my own advise, I contacted you for help and a good percentage was maped out for your effort, I have to arrange how it will favour me, I must be very careful. I want hear hear your stand,anyfurther delay will never be accepted.

Subject: I Don't Want to Spoil the Party

Dear Brother Morgan

I agree you must be confused as you have called me your brother and now I am your Uncle - this is confusing as your Uncle is a murderer and I am not a murderer.

I have explained my position previously - I need evidence that you are acting honestly. You have provided documents but these as I have said are flawed i.e. not bank originals as the Ecobank deny that the documents are official.

I have asked for a simple photo of you holding a sign saying "Joe Rook". This is necessary to show me that you are dealing honestly with me. This is a simple task and your reluctance to supply such a picture is not encouraging - you can take the picture internally without compromising yourself, scan it and send it to me then we can proceed.

I am very security conscious and I know this is a simple thing to do.

We have come so far - we have a bank account ready for the transfer - just humour me with this and we can proceed.

If you cannot do this we cannot proceed any further and I will not send you any money.

As I said before we can offer you a position in Oliver Cromwell's New Model Army and you can assist us in buying guns and ammunition with the proceeds of this deal.

Yours despairingly,

Freeborn John

I do no intend to carry this on anymore and the last reply I had would seem to be an appropriate note to end it on - I have included this below (with RIPE search details) pleaee could you tag it on the end.

I believe your website is preventing people from being scammed - it is still surprising how much money is being obtained from this still so please keep up the good work you are doing.
