JONES MAGORO Received: from [81.199.80.198] (SOGEQUIP/Firstnet, Benin) Mon, 27 Jun 2005 Dearest: Friend, My Name is Mr.JONES MAGORO a credit officer with the one of the leading (Finance Trust House) here in Cotonou Republic Du Benin. In my department i discovered an abandoned funds (USD 12 M) in an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer (MR. ANDREAS SCHRANNER from Munich, Germany) who died along with his entire family in July 2000 in a plane crash. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/859479.stm Since i got information about his death, I have been expecting his next of kin to come over and claim his money because we cannot release it unless some body applies for it as next of kin or relation to the deceased as indicated in our banking guidlings and laws but unfortunately we learnt that all his supposed next of kin or relation died alongside with him at the plane crash leaving nobody behind for the claim. It is therefore upon this discovery that I now decided to make this business proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the bank treasury as unclaimed bill. The banking law and guidline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after Six years, the money will be transfered into the bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occassioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and an Indigenecannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. Your percentage will be declare to you as soon as you indicate your interest.I will visit your country for disbursement according to the percentage indicated [This is of course the old tired Dead Bank Customer.] Here the DBC stops, but I replied anyway. What the heck... RAY GUNN Dear Sir: This interests me. What's involved?

I appreciate you sending the form as it arrived to you, now I see what went wrong with sending the application.

You must be aware that I did not do this on purpose! It was an accident, a small problem with the scanner-device. I would not presume to toy with you in this matter, nor would I try to promote hard feelings. I apologize for the delay.

Thanks and God Jone Magoro. RAY GUNN Dear Jones Magoro, It is not necessary to send mail twice. Just hit the "Send" ONCE!!!! I know you must be in a very great hurry to secure this money, as you apparently did not read over your mail to correct any mistakes. This shows a great lack of respect for the person you are addressing, that you will send out sloppy and foolish-looking mail. It also makes me think that you are not a well-educated man, the kind of person that has no business in a position of importance. Is this the case? Are you in such a blundering big hurry, or are you naturally sloppy, or do you just not care about the recipient of your correspondence? Ray Gunn And... RAY GUNN Dear Martins Dossou, I will wire the money this afternoon. Meanwhile, I would seriously re-consider your relationship with Jones Magoro. He sends out mail that looks as though he is drunk! Is he drinking on his job? Perhaps you should contact his superiors, and inform them of the poor quality of his correspondence. I received a mail from him this morning, that looks as though it has been written by a drunken fool! He did, however, give a glowing recommendation of your secretary, Roselin Glokpon, but I don't know if I can trust his words if he is a drunkard. Let me know your thoughts on this. Ray Gunn MARTINS DOSSOU Received: from [81.199.80.198] Mon, 11 Jul 2005 ATTN:MR.RAYMOND GUNN, SIR, I JUST RECEIVED YOUR MAIL, ACTUALLY WE ARE NOT IN SAME DEPARTMENT,MAYBE HE USE TO DRINK ON DUTY, BUT AS YOU SAID NOW, I WILL INFORM OUR GENERAL MANAGER TO CHECK HIM REGULARLY I BELIEVE WITH THIS IDEA WE WILL FISH HIM OUT SOON.

BEST REGARDS MARTIN DOSSOU JONES MAGORO Received: from [81.199.80.198] Wed, 13 Jul 2005 Dear Mr.Raymond Gunn, Good morning my friend,I just read your mail and the story therein, infact I doubt your stories, how can you say that you don't see your brother for a whole day, Mr.Tommy is not a small boy, how can you say you are looking for him a big person like Mr.Tommy infact I don't understand that your story, Anyway you better check well maybe he travel to London because there is explosion in London last two days, Thanks Jones Magoro. RAY GUNN Jones Magoro, I am appalled at this mail of yours, and your uncaring attitude! I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, a man who drinks on the job the way you do, is bound to have a total disregard for anybody else's worries. Even your co-worker Dossou is keeping you under surveillance, so that your employers will know when you are drunk, and then you will be out of a job! You say you doubt my story? Well, good for you, mister--you and I are finished! I prefer to work with Dossou anyway, At least he is a sober man, and he seems to respect me and my concern for my brother Tommy. For your information, we did find Tommy. Just as I suspected, he visited a local bar "for a cold one", and started waving around all that cash, and when he went to get into his car, he was grabbed by a couple of guys, beaten, and robbed. He is lying in the hospital now with bruises all over, and a broken nose. It's a wonder they didn't kill him--people have been murdered for less money than he had on him. I hope you're happy, you didn't believe me when I said Tommy disappeared, and now look at what happened! Ray Gunn And the same letter (edited a little) to Martins Dossou... RAY GUNN Dossou, I am appalled at this mail sent by Magoro, and his uncaring attitude! I guess I shouldn't be too surprised, a man who drinks on the job the way he does, is bound to have a total disregard for anybody else's worries. Dossou, you must keep him under surveillance, so that your employers will know when he is drinking, and then he will be out of a job! He says he doubts my story? Well, OK. he and I are finished! I prefer to work with you anyway, At least you are a sober man, and you seem to respect me and my concern for my brother Tommy. Dossou, we did find Tommy. Just as I suspected, he visited a local bar "for a cold one", and started waving around all that cash, and when he went to get into his car, he was grabbed by a couple of guys, beaten, and robbed. He is lying in the hospital now with bruises all over, and a broken nose. It's a wonder they didn't kill him--people have been murdered for less money than he had on him. I don't know when he will be out of hospital, and I'm not sure when we can get the money to you. Please be patient. Ray Gunn Who replies right away, greatly concerned, of course...

NOTE THAT YOU HAVE NOT GET ME A LINE WHICH I CAN USE TO REACH YOU, I STILL TRY THE OTHER LINE BUT STILL NOT CONNECTED. AWATING YOUR URGENT RESPONSE. MY BEST REGARDS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. MARTINS DOSSOU RAY GUNN Dear Martins Dossou, Thank you for your letter of concern for my brother Tommy. I have spent every minute I could, by his side in the hospital. He has lapsed into a deep coma, and the doctors fear the worst. It seems that those thugs who attacked Tommy kicked him repeatedly in the head, and he suffered several other serious injuries. At first they weren't noticeable, as the bruises were under his hair, but the extent of this damage became obvious when they examined him thoroughly. I heard from Jones Magoro yesterday, and he wrote such insulting things about my brother! I am appalled that he would be so unkind and unsympathetic to somebody who has suffered such a trauma! I will not write to him again, I am firmly convinced that Magoro is the worst kind of a drunkard, who cares nothing for anyone else, only himself. You should have him fired IMMEDIATELY! I do not know when I will be able to write again.

When I didn't hear from you again, following the death of my brother Tommy, I assumed that you wouldn't want to intrude on my grief, and then we just lost touch. If you will recall, after reading your cold-hearted and callous observations about the tragedy that befell my brother, I was extremely angry at you, and I told you that I would only communicate with Martins Dossou. I wrote to Ms. Glokpon, and upon her reply, I will send her my banking particulars. Ray Gunn [Reply from Rose Glokpon...] ROSE GLOKPON Received: from [196.46.153.146] Fri, 9 Dec 2005 Hello Ray Gunn, Good morning sir, I just read your message now, well Mr.Jones Magoro instructed me to send a seal envelope contain draft to you whenever you contact me, I would like to inform you that is not possible for me to pay the draft into any Bank here, and also is impossible to send it through Western Union money transfer to you because is not Cash, So I have enquired about DHL courrier service they said that the cost of delivery and Insurance of the parcel to your place is $235.00 Two Hundred and thirty five Dollar, you need to send your full contact addressa and the money for the delivery and Insurance so that I will send the draft to you immediately. or you can arrange and come down to here and pick it yourself I believe that should be even more better. Thanks Rose Glokpon. RAY GUNN My dear Ms. Glokpon: What a pleasure to finally hear from you, I have been awaiting some contact from you for several months, your employers, Magoro and Martins Dossou, both speak highly of you, and they say that you are a nice lady both in and out of the office, and "100% OK". I wonder if I came to your offices to collect my share of these funds, perhaps we could get together for some out-of-the-office-"niceness". Your employers probably would not object to you showing me some extra gratitude for my participation in this transaction, would they? I have in mind some delightful romps in my hotel suite, I would be lodging at your finest hotel, of course, would you make the reservations, or should I? My passport is in perfect order, and I can travel to your location within a very few days. Will you please write and tell me if this proposition is acceptable? In any event, my payment should be addressed to me: RAYMOND ANZIO GUNN 4019 South Smith Street, Gatling, Wyoming 49199 Waiting your immediate reply, I remain, Ray Gunn, your admirer from USA [No "special treatment" for Ray. A gentle rebuff is sent..] ROSE GLOKPON Received: from [196.46.153.146] Fri, 9 Dec 2005 Dear Raymond, It would have be nice as you suggested, but I'm sorry it will not work out the way you think Well I will be very happy to receive you in my office but I will not be able to go out with you to be sincere with you my traditional marriage will take place on Saturday 31st of this month, so is like I'm hooked up by someone, please don't be annoyed I hope you will understand my situation. Thanks and God bless us. Rose Glokpon. RAY GUNN Dear Ms. Glokpon, Hearty congratulations to you on your impending marriage! I am sure you will be a lovely bride, and I hope your husband-to-be realizes what a decent, moral lady you are, and appreciate this treasure you give him, your loyalty!

He should be holding a large sign with my name on it, RAY GUNN. I will send you the exact time of my arrival, as soon as I get it from the airline. Thank you, and again, I send my congratulations to you, and best wishes. Ray Gunn ROSE GLOKPON Dear Mr.Raymond, Thanks a lot for your courage I really appreciate that, as regards to your arrangement to come down here and about the address you asked note that here in Benin Republic there is no road or street address, you can confirm that from Benin Embassy in your country, After reading your mail this morning I decided to make some little inquiry about the possibility of you receiving the draft through our affiliate Bank in London our foreign remittance manager he told me that is possible, according the his explanation their will keep this draft and instruct their fiduciary agent in London to raise a draft worth that amount for you,so instead of you coming down here you will only travel to London and receive the draft. Meanwhile I will be absent from work till Thursday because tomorrow morning I will travel to my village to finish arrangement about my traditional marriage which I told you. well if you insisted to come I will inform my cousin to meet you in any hotel lodge, but bear in mind that nobody will wait for you at the airport. Reply and let me know your decision Thanks Rose Glokpon. More to come? Stay tuned... |
