Dear Ms. Koromah:
Thank you for your message. As an agent of Little Boys' Hospital, I must say that the 25% of the sum, i.e. 2 million dollars, would be invaluable to help fund some of the ongoing programs we have here. When you say that you found my name through a private search, I assume that you found me as the listed contact for the Renal Harvest Program of ours that has been so successful of late? In case you're unaware of the details, basically we're able to leverage the good will of some of our contacts at the State Department to allow us to set up permanent residency in the United States for those foreign nationals who come over and make the required contribution to our program. Forgive me if my sense of humor seems inappropriate, but we often say here at the Hospital that it's not worth paying an arm and a leg for a Green Card when you could simply enroll in Renal Harvest and obtain it for much less than that! In any case, I've attached a copy of my passport as you requested. As I am representing Little Boys' Hospital in this matter, I will use their address for correspondence: Sweeney H. Todd, M. D.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
Thank you for your reply. Please be reassured that I am not in the business of haggling over money; I quoted the figure of 25% because that is what you wrote in your original e-mail, but 20%, or any other sum that you feel is sufficient, would be a welcome donation to the worthy cause that is Little Boys' Hospital.
I will contact the bank as you requested in order to facilitate the money transfer, but let us first concern ourselves some important matters. I understand that you would like to emigrate to the United States, and fortunately, as I mentioned in my previous message, by means of our Renal Harvest program that opportunity is there for you. I must insist, however, that you send me the details that I requested in my first message, so that I can begin preparations for your arrival here. In case you have lost the message, I asked for:
(1) Your blood type (group and rhesus factor, e.g. O-, A+)
(2) Allergies to any medications
(3) Contact information for your next of kin
Once I have these details, I will contact one of our friends at the State Department and start processing your resident visa with the US Consulate local to you. Nearer the time, I will ask you to fill out a binding consent form. Please be reassured that the procedure you will undergo is relatively safe (I will even perform it myself if it makes you feel better - I have more than 20 years' experience in the field). You should be out of bed within a week or so, and able to resume full physical activity within approximately a month. In my humble opinion, this seems like a small price to pay for a life of safety and prosperity here in the United States.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
As will you see from the copy of my recent message to Mr. Koffi, the bank has requested some additional details from me and I have provided them, so hopefully the transfer can proceed without delay.
Thank you for the details you provided: regarding next of kin, what I was really looking for was contact information for a relative or friend of yours in case something should go amiss with the procedure we'll be undertaking when you arrive. All this information will be part of the consent form which I'll be providing - I just wanted to get an early start on some of the paperwork. As I mentioned before, I wouldn't worry too much about it, as we have here one of the most skilled surgical teams in Northeastern Montana, so the operation is relatively safe. It occurs to me that I should have asked this earlier - I assume both your kidneys are fully functional, as far as you know?

Dear Mr. Koffi,
Thanks for your message. I note that you didn't provide any payment information (i.e. your bank account details). Please could you forward these at your convenience?
Regarding the payment itself, is it possible for you to deduct payment from the balance of the account there? I note that you stated it to be in a "suspense account": I don't quite understand the ramifications of that, so I would ask that you explain the term. The fact is, the Hospital is in somewhat of a budget crunch right now (we're up against the end of a fiscal quarter, and as always, we're over-budget). If it's the only way forward, I could try to work some way of getting payment made, but please understand it's not going to be easy.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
Apparently the bank is preparing the transfer: the only sticking point is the necessary document preparation fee. As I explained in my message to Mr. Koffi, I'm hoping he can deduct the fee from the balance of the account - if not, we'll have to work on an alternative way to get the Hospital to come up with the funds. Don't worry: I'm sure it'll work out. Please be prepared for some travel in your immediate future, though.

Therefore to enable us conduct the wire transfer of the fund to your designated bank account, we need to Legalize and Activate the account to your name as the new beneficiary.
Considering the urgent of the wire transfer, we advise you to prepare the requested amount ([Euros]1,250) and send it to us through Western Union with the name of our legal director (MR TONY IYKE ADIM). This will enable us obtain the necessary documents and then conclude the wire transfer without any delay

Dear Mr. Koffi,
Thank you for your reply and for the explanation of the "suspense account" concept. I will have to arrange for payment of funds from the Hospital, then. Not to worry - I have a cunning plan to this end. It may take a few days to sort everything out, but I am cautiously optimistic that we can make this work.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
As I mentioned to Mr. Koffi, I have a plan as to how I can convince the Hospital to release the funds to enable the bank transfer. We will want our "pound of flesh", so to speak, before paying out the money. Here's how I plan to do it - the Hospital will pay you a $3000 honorarium, along with covering your travel expenses, as long as you participate in the Renal Harvest program. As soon as your operation is complete, the Hospital will give you a check for $3000 to spend as you wish - note that it will easily cover the 1250 Euro fee for the bank transfer, even at the rather dismal current exchange rate. I'm glad you're eager to come over to the US as soon as possible, so here's what I'd like you to do:
(1) Please sign the attached consent form, return a scanned copy to me, and keep another copy for your visit to the US Embassy in Abidjan
(2) Please fill out and print the attached application for a US Permanent Resident Visa.
(3) As soon as I receive your consent form, I'll send you by e-mail a signed letter acknowledging receipt of the form, which you should also print and take to the Embassy
Perhaps it sounds a little complicated, but I think it's really quite straightforward. I should remind you, it would be a good idea also to schedule online an appointment at the Embassy to apply for the visa. I believe most of the Embassy staff should have been made aware of the Renal Harvest program by the State Department by now; in any case, I hear that a gentleman named Al Kyder who used to work with us over here is now stationed out there, so you might want to ask for him if any problems arise.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Hopefully we can have you Stateside before too long.
Best Regards

Dear Ms. Koromah,
Yes, I quite understand your difficult financial situation. Sadly, Little Boys' is a charity hospital, and hence we have to be very careful here with the allocation of our funds. I'm sure your intent is good and that you're trustworthy: sadly, however, we have had instances before where people have abused the Renal Harvest program by absconding with both kidneys. For this reason, the Hospital has reacted by becoming very conservative, and we now insist that the organ in question is safely situated in our freezer before we pay out the honorarium. Fortunately, our Financial Office is reasonable enough that they will still pay the travel expenses in advance, so please send me a copy of your visa as soon as you have it, and we should have you set up with a plane ticket forthwith.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
I'm surprised to hear that the Embassy asked you for $650. The particular section of immigration law to which I referred in my covering letter concerns applications for asylum - effectively, by applying under the Renal Harvest program, you are considered in the same category as asylum applicants, and hence there is no processing fee. I can only believe someone at the Embassy got confused as to the category under which you were applying. We should be able to sort this out without too much difficulty: what I recommend you do is return to the Embassy with all documents you brought last time, make it clear this time that you are applying as a de facto asylum applicant, and if you still don't make any progress, ask if Al Kayder is available to assist you.
Best Regards, and I hope you have better luck this time,

The officers explained to me that why they want me to pay $650 dollar is because i don't have international passport to obtain visa. I was told that without me getting new passport, they can not give me the visa.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
Thank you for the explanation. I would recommend that you be very wary at this point. Of course you will need a passport in order to hold the visa, but this would presumably be issued by the government of Cote d'Ivoire, and be nothing to do with the US Embassy. I have been told that there are a large number of people around, especially in many West African countries, that make their money by tricking honest folks like you and me into believing that they'll perform some service for you when in fact they have no intention of doing so. I think that's what might be happening here - the US Embassy would have no reason to ask you for money in order to get you a passport, because that should be done by your own government. Do you have the name of the officer who asked you for the money? Please let me know, and I'll contact our man at the Embassy immediately so that I can find out what's going on here.

Hi Al,
It's been a while since I've seen you. Hope everything is going well for you, and that you're having no problems with the follow up from the surgery.
Could I ask a favor of you? I have a client for the Renal Harvest program over there in Abidjan, and she's having trouble getting all her papers in order to come over to the US. Basically she needs some funds to get a Cote d'Ivoire passport. I'm a little worried that there are some folks over there affiliated with the Embassy that are trying to rip her off, so I wonder if you'd mind lending me the funds and holding them for her to pick up to make sure the money reaches her securely. My client's name is Monica Koromah, and apparently she needs $650 in order to get her passport. Please let me know if it's OK - of course, I'll settle up with you next time you're State-side.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
As you see from my Cc:, I've asked my old friend Al Kayder at the Embassy to step in and help. I'm still worried that there are some folks out there trying to scam you - a US Embassy would have no connection to the passport processing entity of your government, so it sounds very suspicious that they are taking money from you on the promise of helping you get the passport.
In any case, let's hope Al comes through for us. Between you and me, he still owes me a favor after I did a female-to-male sex change operation (in medical circles we call it a strappadictomy) at a considerable discount, so I have a feeling he won't have any problem coming up with the funds. In that case it will be easy - simply go over to the Embassy, ask for him, and he'll be holding the money for you. That way, we can both be certain that you won't fall victim to one of these scammers.

Hi Sweeney
Good to hear from you - yes, I'm doing fine and the strappadictomy has taken really well. There's a few things you just don't realize about living as a man: peeing standing up isn't quite as easy as it sounds. I'm making progress, though, and I only get my feet wet about 25% of the time these days.
Anyway, back to the matter at hand, you're right to be wary about rip-off artists out here. Just the other day we found out that there were men hanging around outside the Embassy pretending to be consular representatives and taking money from people to get in the "VIP line". The police and our security move them on, but they just come back the next day. Regarding the money, I shouldn't have a problem coming up with $650 for your client. She should just come by the Embassy (she may need to make an appointment online before they'll let her in at the front gate) and ask for me (I'll get the money tomorrow morning, so any time Thursday or afterwards would be fine), give me the password "Sweeney Todd", and I'll hand it over.
If I don't hear from you before Christmas, I hope you and your family are doing well and have a great Christmas and New Year.

Hi Monica,
Sorry to hear you're having problems getting in to the Embassy. Sometimes the people on the gate can be a little obtuse. Now that I have the cash in hand, it's likely easier if I hand it over to you rather than paying money transfer fees... can you suggest a time and a place, easily reachable from the Embassy, so that I can meet up with you and give you the cash? Also, let me know how I can recognize you.

Hi Monica,
I'm sorry to hear you're in poor health. If I'm going to send the money, I might as well take it to a Western Union location here in Abidjan and transfer it to you instead of back to Sweeney Todd, right? I understand you're feverish right now and presumably feeling rather confused, so I thought I'd save you from unnecessary delay with two money transfers when we only need one. Anyway, if you're too sick to meet me in person, presumably you're also too sick to travel to the Western Union office; do you have any friends or family that you would trust to meet me and pick up the money in your stead?

Hi Monica,
I'm sorry to hear you're in poor health. If I'm going to send the money, I might as well take it to a Western Union location here in Abidjan and transfer it to you instead of back to Sweeney Todd, right? I understand you're feverish right now and presumably feeling rather confused, so I thought I'd save you from unnecessary delay with two money transfers when we only need one. Anyway, if you're too sick to meet me in person, presumably you're also too sick to travel to the Western Union office; do you have any friends or family that you would trust to meet me and pick up the money in your stead?
Regards
Al

Thank you and waiting to hear from you.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
I was surprised to get your message without having heard from my friend. I take it that you are in good health again? As I understood it, Al has the money in hand and wanted to set up a meeting with you so that he could give you the money.
I recall that Al was willing to meet you at a location in Abidjan that you suggested, easily reachable from the Embassy. Please coordinate with Al to retrieve the money from him.
Thanks and Best Regards

Thank you for your message. Hopefully we'll have everything in order soon. As you see from my friend Al's message, you don't need to go to the embassy again. Please reply to Al with a location in Abidjan where you can meet with him:he'll take an embassy vehicle over there to meet you and hand over the money. With any luck, we'll have you over here in the US very soon, at which point there should be no further problems with getting the money transferred.

Ms. Koromah,
I have to admit that my patience is starting to wear a little thin. I have taken great pains to assist you in every way I can, even going so far as calling in a favor from my friend. Al has the money in hand, and he has said he's willing to travel to anywhere in Abidjan to give the money to you. If you're in the hospital, please let him know which hospital, and he will come over there and meet you. Otherwise, just let him know where you are, and he will likewise travel to you. Regarding your travel to the USA, it is true that to succeed in this country, you will need a certain amount of self-sufficiency and problem-solving ability, and your having these traits seem questionable at best given the present situation.
You seem to prefer that I send you the money by Western Union directly: you should realize that in that case, you would have to become a Member of the Hospital before I could send hospital funds direct to you, which entails a great deal of paperwork, and some loose interpretation of rules, on my part.
Sincerely
Sweeney H. Todd, M. D.

I received your mail and i appreciate you kindness to me so far but i want you to know that your effort is not enough because nothing has changed in my life.
Remember you said that your freind has the money at hand, it is the money i ask you to collect from him and you resend it back to me through Wester Union. This does not require me to register or become a member of your hospital because the money belong to your freind Al and for the hospital. Thanks is by the way but i believe if you really want to assist me, you could have find a solution to send me the money. Since you insist of me taking the money from your friend Al. Right now i am on treatment and i want you to advise him to come over to meet me in the hospital at 43 France minitary camp Portbouet.
Let him tell me the dress he is wearing, shoe and other information i will use to recorgnize him when he arrived at the hospital. Moreover if he has telephone, i will like to have it. I will be waiting for him from 8 am GMT to 11am GMT.
I want to hear from you proberbly from your freind Al if possible.

Please can you give me the street address of the hospital you are in? I'm somewhat familiar with the Portbouet subdivision, but I'll need the street address so make sure the Embassy chauffeur finds it. I'll be wearing the usual US Embassy blue blazer and khaki slacks. You can recognize me by these clothes plus my exuberant handlebar mustache. My cell phone # is +1 206 xxx xxxx. We'll have to meet up soon, because I'm flying back to the United States for the holidays, leaving Wednesday p.m.

What are you talking about? I arrived at the French military camp hospital at 9am, asked at the desk, and they had never heard of a Monica Koromah. I waited by the front desk for more than an hour, and having seen no sign of you, I left. I notice that I don't have any missed calls or voice mail from you on my cell phone either. In total this used up three hours of my time, plus the time of the Embassy chauffeur who drove me over there. I leave for the United States tomorrow, and I have no more time to waste on this matter.

I can not say Al Kayder visited or not but all i know is this, if he truely visited the hospital as he said and asked about me. The receptionist would have made me available because i told them that some one from America Embassy will look after me.
I don't need to call him since he has assured me that he is coming to meet me at the hospital.
If you people still want to assist me, i believe you can do that even from USA and i want to know if still wish to assist me or not.

Dear Ms. Koromah,
Believe it or not, the United States is actually quite a large place. Al Kayder lives in the Washington, D.C. area, and I'm over in Montana, so it's not really practical for me to drop in on him and meet him as you suggested. I plan on spending the Christmas and New Year season with my family.
To be quite honest, I'd be tempted to give up the whole project given all the trouble it's caused me and my friend so far. You're fortunate in that 2008 is our Centenary Year, and we're trying to ramp up the Renal Harvest program as much as we can. In memory of our founder, Dr. Keith Molesting, who started Little Boys' Hospital back in 1908, we have a goal of 100 kidneys harvested in the next calendar year.
So, to cut a long story short, I will have to send you the $650 you need out of Hospital funds, and in order that I can do this, you will need to become a Member of the Hospital. Usually, this requires that you have performed a service for the Hospital already, but in this case I'll take a risk and break the rules a little. I can also waive the membership fees, which again is a stretch on my part. The only obligation that is non-negotiable is that I have to have a picture of you for the membership application which I'll submit on your behalf. The picture must have you holding the poster (attached), commemorating our founder and the Keith Molesting/ Little Boys' Hospital. Please print the attached picture, and send back a digital picture of you holding it so that it can be clearly seen in the photograph.

Dr. Sweeney H. Todd
The Keith Molesting Memorial / Little Boys' Hospital
600 Micturation Way
Glasgow
MT 59230
USA
As you may be aware, I am an attending surgeon, so it is quite difficult to reach me by phone because of my busy surgical schedule. The hospital phone number is +1 406 xxx xxxx, and the fax is +1 406 xxx xxxx. If you try to reach me via the hospital phone, please be sure to mention that you need to be transferred to Molesting/ Little Boys, because the phone is a central extension for several facilities of the Montana health network here in Glasgow.
Regarding the charges, it will require some paperwork on my end to get Hospital funds sent outside the US. FedEx has an option that you can send a package and bill the delivery charges to the receiver - this would likely be the easiest way to go, because we have an existing business relationship with FedEx and hence can pay them without the same administrative burden.
Thanks
Sweeney H. Todd, M. D.

Dear Mr. Bensson,
That's a pity. As I mentioned to you earlier, it's going to involve a lot more paperwork and effort on my part in order to get the funds released to you. Getting the money itself is not a problem, but in order that I can send it to you, you will have to become a Member of Keith Molesting/ Little Boys' Hospital. This is a consequence of strict laws governing the way we distribute funds as a charitable organization, in order to prevent abuse of charities for purposes of money laundering. I can fill out the necessary forms, but I will need a picture of you holding the attached poster so that I can complete the membership application on your behalf. Please print out the attached and return to me a digital photograph of you holding it so that it can be clearly seen. Once I receive it, I will finish your membership application and send you the money promptly.
Thanks in advance
