UNOBTAINIUM: in which THE LADS UNWITTINGLY QUIT THEIR DAY JOBS AND GO ON THE ROAD WITH THE DEAD

The periodic table has really expanded since we were in school... This comes from the creator of "Donna Jean", last seen in Trouble Ahead, Trouble Behind:
From "Donna Jean": I really should get another hobby, but this is too fun. After the seriousness and craftsmanship I put into the Donna Jean/Madinga transaction, I started this one for some fun. Hope you like it. It's still working [...] but I'm not sure how much longer he's going to stay on the hook.

  Thank you for your prompt reply.  I previously sent 
  you my private phone/fax, and I received your phone 
  message.  I trust my company letterhead with the 
  authorization will be sufficient to meet the needs you 
  have outlined.  I have attached the letter as you 
  requested, and I await your further instructions. 
  
  So that you may know a bit more about me and conduct 
  your due diligence in this transaction, I am an 
  investment advisor, though mostly retired, for I was 
  fortunate enough, at a very early age, to make a wise 
  investment in the rare commodities unobtanium and 
  dilithium, which paid off rather handsomely, to the 
  tune of several million dollars.  I now live part of 
  the year in Florida, and part of the year at my ski 
  chalet in Aspen, Colorado, and I manage my rather 
  substantial portfolio as my primary daily activity.  I 
  still perform some outside investment advisory work, 
  but only on those financial transactions that I feel 
  to be of great merit.  Yours qualifies as one such 
  transaction in my opinion. 
  
  I am prepared to travel to Amsterdam at a moment's 
  notice.  I have a private jet which I can call at my 
  readiness should I need to travel.  Please forward any 
  necessary documents via e-mail or fax as soon as 
  possible.  Time is always of the essence in financial 
  transactions, and I sense your need to move quickly on 
  this matter. 
  
  I look forward to working with you.

From: "Robert Weir"  
Subject: Re: LETTER OF GUARANTEE  [RE_SEND] 
To:  "Baldwin Seseseko" [baldwin_seko@yahoo.com] 

Mr. Seseseko, 

I have been trying the telephone number you provided 
all morning, and now into the afternoon.  It gives me 
a message stating that it has been disconnected.  This 
causes me concern in that I have shown good faith in 
providing you a working telephone and fax number, 
which you have used to contact me.  This is my only 
phone number, so if you get the message machine, it is 
because I am unavailable.  I would appreciate your 
giving me a telephone number that functions so we may 
speak together.  Barring that, I do not see any 
particular need for voice-to-voice contact, as much of 
my business is done with persons I've neither met nor 
spoken to.  This is the wonder of the electronic age 
in which we live.  As such, I have re-scanned the 
guaranty letter, and it should be attached in the 
format you requested.  As to the passport, it is in a 
safe-deposit box at my bank in Miami, and I do not 
have access to it at the moment.  I typically leave 
Marathon Key only once per month to do my banking, and 
I just went to the bank four days ago. 

In any case, I would be somewhat hesitant to send you 
a photocopy of my passport in this day of terrorist 
plots against Americans.  I would not want my passport 
duplicated for ill use abroad.  I am sure you can 
understand my hesitance in this regard.  In the 
alternative, I have attempted to scan in my driver's 
license, which should be sufficient for your purposes 
to verify my identity. 

In any event, your message appeared to carry with it 
some urgency, and I am puzzled as to why you insist on 
delaying the progress of our arrangement.  Believe me, 
with the amount of money I have, and my investment 
background, I have literally hundreds of investment 
opportunities presented to me each week, and those 
that go quickly with a minimum of difficulty gain my 
uppermost attention.  Your situation is falling by the 
wayside because you appear to be insisting on matters 
that I do not believe are necessary to complete the 
investment. 

Please forward whatever documentation is necessary to 
complete this arrangement so I may contact my pilot to 
ready the jet to travel to Amsterdam.  Every day I 
keep him on standby waiting to fly costs me money, and 
I am not willing to wait much longer for you to send 
me the necessary information.  You may send via fax or 
e-mail, which ever is most convenient to you. 

I await your favorable response.

Baldwin, 

I am glad to see we are still "on" as far as this 
investment is concerned.  Time is money, I always say, 
and the more time wasted, the more money wasted.  I 
don't like being wasted.  Every day we delay in 
obtaining the funds of which you speak is a day's lost 
interest in a bank.  I never lose interest in a bank. 
I'm always interested.  At a very conservative rate of 
interest on the $10M you referenced, you are losing 
more than $500 each day you delay!  There is no time 
to lose!  Tick, tock, tick, tock. 

Please fax me the documents soonest so I may get to 
Amsterdam.  I am typically on the phone executing 
stock orders for myself and my clients from 9:00 a.m. 
to 4:00 p.m. Eastern time, so any time after the 
market closes in New York is a good time to call.  I 
do follow the Tokyo and Hong Kong markets as well, so 
I am frequently up very late at night.  I cannot 
guarantee I will be able to receive your call, because 
I am on the telephone almost constantly from the 
moment I wake up until I go to sleep.  And I rarely 
sleep more than four hours per night.  So much for 
retirement!  I counted one day, and I made 247 phone 
calls during the day, and I took an hour off for lunch 
with a friend! 

Weekends are for golf and polo, so you won't find me 
around on the weekends.  Please keep trying, though. 
As I said, I do not think it crucial that we speak in 
person, but I do like hearing the voices of the people 
with whom I do business once in a while.  I like 
hearing voices. 

Must run.  Phone ringing off the hook.  Regards, 

Robert Weir

Baldwin, 

I wrote you yesterday, and still I hear nothing from 
you about the documents.  You did leave a message, but 
I didn't understand it.  Was it in English, because 
the only other language I speak is money.  When I 
called you back, your phone was still disconnected. 
We are disconnected.  Return to sender, address 
unknown, if you know what I mean. 

Money is being lost through delay.  I don't like being 
lost.  Lost in space, you know.  Some people call me 
the space cowboy, but... 

Tick, tock, tick, tock.  The clock is running.  Time 
keeps on slipping, slipping, slipping, into the 
future.  There is no time to waste. 

Send me the documents.  I have already lost $500 for 
having my pilot on standby yesterday, hoping you would 
send the documents.  I will lose another $500 if you 
don't get them to me today.  You will lose $500 in 
interest, too.  I'm a loser, you're a loser.  We're 
both losers. 

I'm getting impatient, and I can't wait.  As I said, 
I'm not a patient man.  I'm not a medical doctor.  I 
have no patients. 

Send me the documents now, or we cannot continue.  The 
way we were.

Baldwin, 

Please feel free to call me Bob.  All my friends call 
me Bob and you are my friend.  I am Bob to you.  Bob 
and Baldwin, brothers.  I like that. 

All is well.  I've told my pilot to sit tight. 
Therefore, he will be tight in the seat, awaiting my 
instructions. 

I hope you are a mother gets better.  Sickness is 
rampant, but wellness may come in time. 

The attorney--he is paid by the hour?  Sounds like he 
is screwing me.  Screw you, too.  Attorneys.  First 
thing we do, let's kill all the lawyers--that's 
William Shakespeare, you know.  I have disdain for 
lawyers.  Great Dane for lawyers.  Hamlet, 
Shakespeare's king was a Dane, did you know that? 

Can we pay him to work faster?  Get a faster typist? 
The $500 per day we are losing in interest on our 
money would buy a better lawyer.  Perry Mason, 
probably.  700 monkeys typing on 700 typewriters could 
produce the document faster than this lawyer.  Are you 
sure he is a good lawyer?  Did he pass the bar?  Does 
he go to bars?  Should he be behind bars?  I don't 
trust him like I trust you. 

What is his name?  I'll call him myself and tell him 
to speed it up.  Wait, I'll call him by HIS name, not 
myself, if you give me his name.  Phone number would 
be good, too. 

Demurage is no problem.  Whatever the exalt cost is, 
I'll pay cash.  I keep about $300,000 in cash in my 
safe here at home.  Do you think that will be enough? 
If not, let me know, and I'll get more.  Getting it 
out of the country is not a problem.  I'll fly through 
the Cayman Islands and get more from my bank there if 
I have to.  Cayman Islands.  You should go there. 
When we are done, you will come with me to my beach 
house in the Caymans?  You will be rich, like I am 
now, and you will enjoy the Caymans.  Unless you hate 
horseflies.  There are lots of horseflies there. 
Probably because of all this horseshit.  No matter, 
though.  Nice beaches. 

Tick, tock, tick, tock.  Must be going.  Market 
opening in Hong Kong and Tokyo soon. I REALLY must lay 
off the coffee, though.  I'm getting jittery. 

Fondest regards, 

Robert Weir 

[Ed. Note-Oh, boy, Bobby's mind is blown now. Barely above random word generation now.
More name calling-"You are a mother" will continue whenever possible. I know now that he's

Double click and we're away! 

Sorry no response over weekend.  My polo pony broke a

$100,000 down the crapper. 

Tick, tock, tick, tock.  Hope the document is enough 
to get this ball rolling.  Like a rolling stone. 
Gather no moss.  Kate Moss, if I could! 

My pilot is still tight in the seat, waiting.  Your 
phone still does not work--I called 47 times this 
morning--new record for phone calls in a day, today, I 
think--I'm getting suspicious that the phone company 
is trying to screw you.  Just like your lawyer.  He 
took all that time to draft three pages?  How much did 
you pay him? 

Confusion, though.  You said you were living in the 
Ivory Coast.  Lawyer is in Swaziland.  What the hell 
is a Swaziland?  Did he just make that up?  That's not 
a real place, is it?  You're just yanking my wanker. 
I tried to e-mail him and tell him he was yanking my 
wanker, too, and there is no "lattimore.org"--it's a

  Okay, Mr. Swaziland lawyer--why are you screwing my 
  brother Baldwin?  How much did you charge him for the 
  documents you drafted?  The phone number you gave my 
  brother goes to some satellite phone near India.  You 
  know how I know?  When I call, I hear a boat whistle 
  in the background and people speaking Hindi!  This 
  e-mail address--it's fake, too.  I'll bet you never 
  even read this, you judicial miscreant! 
  
  Baldwin may trust you, but I think you are trying to 
  steal Baldwin's money for yourself.  Those hokey-fokey 
  documents look like you are the one getting the money, 
  not Baldwin--why you do this? 
  
  Whoa, take the money and run!  Hoo, hoo, hoo.  Go on 
  take the money and run.  Well, I'll sick my uncle, 
  Billy Mack, who's a detective down in Texas, on you, 
  if you steal Baldwin's dough.  You know I know just 
  exactly what the facts is.  You ain't gonna escape 
  justice. 
  
  What's the monkey business with scamming my brother 
  Baldwin and his poor mother who is widowed. 
  Lawyers--you make me sick to my stomach.  I'm throwing 
  up now thinking about you.  Good thing this is e-mail, 
  or you would smell the vomit.  Vomitus maximus.  You 
  make Baldwin keep sending you money until the funds 
  are out?  What then?  Will you demand money from me to 
  make more hokey-fokey documents. 
  
  These people trusted you.  Now look what you do with 
  that trust.  You must prove to me you are not scamming 
  my brother Baldwin.  Refund his money for the 
  documents and send me a 5 emalangeni note (the one 
  with the dancing guys on it) for your penance, and I 
  will know you are not yanking Baldwin's wanker.  He is 
  a good man and he deserves better lawyers.  I, as his 
  brother, am sworn to protect him against all enemas, 
  foreign and domestic, and you are pretty far up the 
  tailpipe, my legal eagle beagle. 
  
  Baldwin--I've copied this to you to let you know you 
  are being screwed.  Don't pay this guy any more money. 
  Make him pay you back.  Remember, I don't like being 
  wasted, and neither should you--you waste your money 
  with this lawyer.  Kill all the lawyers, that's what 
  Bill Shakespeare said. 
  
  Tick, tock, tick, tock. 
  
  Robert Weir 

[Ed. Note-I thought I'd try getting some money out of the lawyer, just for fun.
The Swaziland 5 emalageni (that's their word for dollar, I guess) note has some
dancing warriors on it. Either that or the Grateful Dead passed through Swaziland
and this was one of their mail order tickets. So hard to tell. Too bad the e-mail
to the lawyer bounced. But Baldwin got it, and he's pissed!]

To: Robert Weir  

Dear Robert, 

I am very sorry that you will have to assist us financially, 
but I promise you that your effort will be rewarded emmensly. 

Regarding our telephone conversation and my mail of today, my attorney 
called Uniglobe NV to enquire when will the deposit certificate ready 
and he was informed that it will be ready later today and he was further 
informed when the beneficiary that is your humbleself is coming to Amsterdam 
you should come with copies of THE POWER OF ATTORNEY, YOUR INDENTIFICATION 
AND $19,300 FOR THE DEMURRAGE/CLEARANCE FEE OF THE CONSIGNMENT. 

Please, you shouldn't be offended by this request as it was never our intension 
to ask you any financial assistance. I went an extral mile to even nogotiate 
with them if they can allow you to secure the consignment before payment of  
the $19,300 , but I was categorically told that it is not possible, due to the 
fact that the consignment is bond by one invoice, therefore, cannot  broken domicile, 
also that the Consignment is covered by an insurance policy (international guarantee 
bond), suffix to say that it is only you the beneficiary that can tamper with the 
consignment or rather terminate the insurance policy, after you have signed for 
collection. 

This problem is disconforting,as it is now, you are the only person that we can trust 
and have faith in, so I plead with you to take it upon yourself and do everything 
within your power so that we get this deal over with.  As am here presently as a 
refugee, I earns $150 for his weekly allowance, which do is not even enough to 
feed his family. 

However, I will advice that you contact Uniglobe NV and see if you will be able to 
strike a bargain with them regarding the fee of $19,300 as the beneficiary. See

you are mistaking him for something else which I do not like. 

[Ed. Note-FINALLY, we have advance fee fraud, captain. I was wondering
when we'd start talking turkey, and Zounds Abound, it's ol' van den Berg
who will be waiting for me in Amsterdam. Although in this scam, it's "Yan"
van den Berg, not "Jan" as in another one I'm working. Same fax number,
and the phone number is close. The Uniglobe website is too much. I think
it says something, but I'm not sure what. Also like the jab at the end
about my suspicions on his lawyer. I've offended Baldwin, but he needs me
so badly he's willing to overlook that.]

My brother Baldwin, 


WAIT JUST A MINUTE--what phone call?  We didn't talk 
today.  Never have talked--remember your phone is 
broken?  I tried all those times that day.  I think 
someone intercepted our e-mails, and they are posing 
as me.  There is only one me.  Not another.  WHO did 
you talk to?  I thought this deal was hush-hush to 
keep the authorities quiet.  Maintain an air of quiet 
authority.  Running out of air. 

No mind.  I'm disregarding your attorney as you asked. 
This is a good thing, since I hold him in such high 
disregard.  Screwy lawyer.  You are sure that power of 
attorney you sent is good?  I don't trust that 
lawyer--HEY!  Maybe it's him you spoke with, posing as 
me.  That would be ironic--screwy lawyer posing as 
American investor.  Maybe he can fool some people, but 
he can't fool me.  Hard to imitate my voice, too. 
UNLESS, he does imitations.  Probably not.  Lawyers 
only imitate snakes.  Snakes in the grass.  Leaves of 
Grass, you know.  Walt Whitman work.  You should read 
it. 


Anyway, my jet will leave at first light, and I should 
be in Amsterdam for breakfast.  My pilot is glad to no 
longer be tight in the seat.  I'll probably eat before 
I leave, though, just in case.  Wouldn't want to get 
in dutch in Amsterdam without a good meal. 

$19,300 sounds pretty cheap.  You think cash will be 
okay?  I left all my credit cards at the ski chalet in 
Aspen, but I could have them sent out if you think Yan 
van den Berg will not accept cash.  I knew a man named 
Yan once.  Yan Kan Kook--Korean guy, I think.  Man, 
Yan could whip up some fierce kimchee--that's Korean 
cole slaw.  Pretty good stuff. 


No matter. I'm bringing cash, but some people don't 
like cash because it's dirty.  Never know where that 
stuff has been.  You should see what some people do 
with dollar bills--ever been to an American strip 
club?  The stories I could tell you. 

Actually, I'm glad you have been so careful in this 
transaction.  I would hate to see domicile broken 
before it's time.  You are always thinking, going the 
extral mile--that's quite a distance.  Too bad they 
won't move on the price, though.  But I'm glad that I 
will be emmensly rewarded, since I'm going to lose at 
least one day of market play while I'm gone if I can't 
get an internet connection--Does Yan have a computer I 
can use while I'm there? 

I checked their website, and aside from their 
atrocious spelling, they appear to be good people. 
It's amazing what they can do with spell checkers 
these days, so I commend the tool to them.  Use a good 
tool, or you're a fool, my momma's dad Mr. Sears 
Craftsman used to say.  Be safe, then, for you're a 
tool. 

Looking forward to helping you and your kids--must've 
been quick.  Didn't know you were a dad.  Lots I don't 
know, though.  Can't figure out the square root of 419 
to save my life--tried it on a calculator, but it kept 
burning out batteries.  Lordy, I'm rambling.  Lord I 
was born a ramblin' man.  Suffix to say, I'm trying to 
make a living and doing the best I can, though. 
Aren't we all? 

My humbleself, 

Robert Weir 

[Ed. Note-Okay, time to pull out the 419 call. Let's see if he catches it.
I'm sure he won't catch me calling him a tool. More lyrics, this time
from the Allman Brothers. "Yan Can Cook" is a cooking television show.
I have no idea if having domicile broken is a good thing or a bad thing.]


I fear that it was a bit too over the top for Baldwin,
'cause I haven't heard anything from him in a couple days.
But then, I've been in jail in the Azores, so what do I know.
This is all that's happened since I sent you the last.

Brother Baldwin, 

DAMN!  DAMN-DAMN! 

There I was, happily coasting over the Atlantic on the 
way to Amsterdam when BOOOM!  My pilot gets on the 
intercom and tells me we have to make an emergency 
landing in the Azores!  Can you believe it?  Now I've 
got Azores all over my body!  Passport checks, customs 
checks, body cavity checks--THEY THINK I'M AN 
INTERNATIONAL TERRORIST OR DRUG DEALER!  They want to 
know why I'm carrying so much cash, particularly in 
the portion of my body in which I was carrying it. 
They've put me in the local hoosegow, and I smuggled 
this note to my pilot to send to you from my computer 
on the plane.  I hope it gets to you.  Am I getting to 
you yet?  Are you getting it? 

Pilot says the 7th Fetzer valve was sticking, and 
he'll need some ball bearings before he can fix the 
plane.  Meanwhile, I'm going to have to bribe these 
Azorian azzholes to let me go!  Good thing I brought 
extra cash!  My pilot is getting the extra cash now, I 
hope, and with luck, I'll be free in a few hours. 
Then I'll say I'm free--I am free, and freedom tastes 
of reality, you know.  Can't wait.  Time wasting. 
Hate being wasted. 

TICK, TOCK, TICK, TOCK 

I'll update you when I can.  Sorry to delay, but 
unavoidable. 

Brothers forever! 
Robert Weir 

[Ed. Note-My tribute to Fletch with the 7th Fetzer valve.
It's all ball bearings now, don't you know? Maybe he won't
want my money when he figures out where I'm carrying it.
Man that's a lot of money to carry there. Moving on to
lyrics from the Who's Tommy.]

Brother Baldwin, 

Got myself out of Azorian hell--had to pay dearly 
about $100,000 US, but I'm out.  One more body cavity 
search for good measure.  Took the rest of my cash 
stashed there.  DAMN.  Okay, where were we?  The way 
we were.  I'm getting back on the plane to Amsterdam. 
AmsterDAM, maybe.  7th Fetzer valve is fixed.  Good 
pilot--hard to find him, glad to have him, hate to 
lose him. 

What next?  Gimme van den Berg's contact info again. 
Damn Azorians took my laptop, too, so I don't have 
that information with me.  Had to use this damn 
computer at the hotel. 

This better be a smooth deal with van den Berg or I'm 
gonna start looking for heads to roll.  Not mine, 
either, if you know what I mean.  I've missed almost 
the whole market week, and that's wasted money.  I 
hate being wasted, as you well know.
