it's a long long way to Yamoussoukro

From a Kindly Contributor in Turkey:

Hello,

Below is the full correspondence of my story with an idiot lad from Abidjan, Ivory Coast, who went to Yamoussoukro (4 hours drive from Abidjan) in the middle of night to meet me at the airport, as I said to him that I will be coming with a very late charter flight to Yamoussoukro. Unfortunately, I had deleted his initial mail and my first reply to his initial mail, thus the story begins with the third mail being his answer to my collaborative reply. However, his initial mail was one of the "Alhaji Bostra" classics, and you don't miss anything.

(Comments: I receive many scam mails every week, but I normally delete them. However, recently I decided to play a game with one of the lads just for fun and to teach him a good lesson. So, I got a dummy mail account (investor_europe@yahoo.com) and used a dummy name (Cem Pazarci). The word "Afrika Yatirimcisi" at my E-Mail address means in Turkish someone investing in Africa.)

Here goes the story:

LAD TO TARGET, er, KINDLY CONTRIBUTOR: THANKS FOR RESPONDING TO THE PROPOSAL

Dear Sir,

How are you today my friend ? thanks for your reply of 03/04/2002, concerning the proposal I sent to you for assistance to supply animal medicine here in this Sub-region for benefits of both of us. Meanwhile I am glad to understand your acceptance, interest and willingness to assist in this transaction for our mutual benefits.

As follows is the answer to your precise questions, with hope you will be certify with the answer. 1)If you have accepted to take 50% out of any profits we might make, that shows me that you are the type of person I need in this transaction. Any way I have also agreed to that 50% / 50% there is no problem about that. But please kindly keep to your promise as the money in been paid to you , remember that agreement is agreement.

2)The reason why Alhaji pays cash at the point of delivery is because of the condition my Director has given to him, and also in as much as he need it by all cost he has no choice but to abide by the procedure my Director give to him. And his cows is dying for breeding and footh and mouth sickness. And some other little farmers are depending on him to source the medicine. This is the reason why he pays at point delivery. More also Alhaji said that many people have taking upfront payment and promise to supply but they could not supply.

3)Concerning the shipment bills and the payment of the goods, Alhaji will pay us cash, not credit. Because that is how he does with my Director, our own can’t be different. Only what I need to do is to call Alhaji and inform him that very so we shall be supplying so that he will start arranging our money.

4)Instead of travelling to London and have a meeting before the transaction, I am suggesting for us to prepare an abiding agreement on the procedure concerning how we have agreed to transact with both side shall study and sign after certify so that both will not fill cheated of any type. Or, what do you think ? ? More also I don’t have a Visa already to travel if I should apply for Visa it can take at least two three weeks. And Alhaji needed this products urgently. Secondly I am still in service before I will be permitted to travel they must know the reason. I am planning to resign immediately this project works out.

5)Firstly what I need from you is to act as if you are Director or the manufacturer of the medicine. Because he wants to know the company that produces the medicine. And if he do know he will not need service of any body again hence he will like to purchase direct. Now what you need to do is you to call the company and know if they still have up to the quantity Alhaji need. So that we can arrange for the supply immediately. Call me on my direct line : 00225 07 60 23 05, for more information.

NB. Send me your private telephone number for quick communication.
Awaiting your reply ASAP

Best regards

Dear Mr. Gaba,

Thank you for the mail that answers my questions to some extent, but also causes some confusion.

First you said that we and Alhaji will all meet in London, Alhaji will pay us in cash, we'll share the profit, and complete the business. Now, you say that you don't have a visa for UK, and Alhaji needs the products urgently, etc. There is no logical connection between your sentences. I am a businessman, and once I go for a business, I want to complete it as fast as and as efficient as possible.

Now, tell me please where this Alhaji is exactly located. We can contact or meet him previously, and from now on we can be his own supplier.

My plan is clear: I'll go to London, open there a bank account, meet you there and discuss the final issues, in the meantime my company will wire to my account in London the necessary amount of money to buy the products, we'll buy them, sell them to Alhaji against his cash money, I'll first take my expenses, we'll share the rest which is the profit.

I hope that is very clear to you, and wait for your prompt response.

Regards,

Cem Pazarci

How are you today my Good friend and your family with hope all is well if so may thanks be to God. Thanks very much for your urgent reply of yesterday in regards to our medicine supply project. How-ever I tried to reach Alhaji Bostra office this morning to get some necessary information in regards to your precise questions especially on the mode of their payment.

1)Alhadji assured me that he never buy credit ,if I like I should confirm from my director , he said that he never owe anybody one dollar ,since he started purchasing medicine but that is only some people do disappoint him.

2)I also inquired on who will pay for the expenses like shipping and delivery, he said that they will take every charges. Only where is the product located ! so that he can send one of his staff to and inspect and release the money immediately, as for shipment, they can arrange for the shipping by them self.

3)Then I asked him the specified quantity they need as of now he said 200cartons or more if possible he emphases that payment is not the problem but where is the medicine ?

4)I also confirm to him that ,have spoke with the president of the company that produces the medicine, that you are ready to supply him any quantity. That is the reason why you have sent me to him to confirm how he will pay. YOUR MONEY ! ! however after I put your precise question to him concerning the payment ,then he said if you need Bank to bank payment there is not problem, they can arrange for that .Immediately the medicine is ready for shipment.

You tell him so that he will send his Junior brother to come any where the medicine is to inspect and release your money in any way you want it before collection for shipment to Africa.

5)Alhaji bostra office is located here Ivory coast west-Africa-Bouake- town northern district telephone :00225 05 08 8744 .he has offices in republic of tchad, burkina-faso,ghana,mali, and senegal, also guinea.

6)Concerning your suggestion for us to have first meeting before the supply it is a Good idea. That means you will send me an invitation letter to facilitate my visa process because visa issue is not easy here now.

Moreover of I being coming for first meeting with out been sure if really you are fully interested to associate whit me ,will be like I been putting all my eggs in one basket. Because if I should make an urgent travel with out sufficient excuse to my office will stand the risky my of loosing my Job.

But I believe that even if I am not there you can protect my interest .how-ever if you think that my coming for the first meeting is the only way in which you will not let me down, because for my side is 100% assured.

Even Bostra him self is waiting to hear from you I told him that you will be calling to inform when the product shall be read for him to come over to pay and carry please send your private telephone to me so that I will call you or you call me or my line :00225 0760 23 05 please don’t delay this project it is God giving opportunity

Even if I am not there I can send to you my account to send my own share

Dear Mr. Gaba,

Thank you very much for your mail. How are you sir today? How's the weather like in Ivory Coast? I hope all is well with you.

Now, coming to our business, I really believe that this is a big aid from God to both of us. I am Turkish and here in my country I work on military projects and we produce direction finding equipments that we sell to countries like Sri Lanka, Liberia, Spain etc. especially where there is a guerilla war. I travel very often to Africa. That's the reason why I cannot issue an invitation letter for you for visiting UK, because I am not a British citizen. And that's the reason why I can't give you any phone contact details, because I work on those confidential military projects and all my phones are listened and we have to keep this business extremely confidential.

As I understand that our business requires urgent attention and action, I offer the following deal to you and Mr. Alhaji:

Next week, I will be in Dakar, Senegal for business purposes and I will stay there at the Turkish embassy. If you are really interested, then please do come to Dakar, Senegal and let's meet and sort out this business there. If so, then just let me know, and I will give you an exact date, time and venue, when we shall meet. I will be there between Wednesday and Friday, and Friday seems to be excellent for a meeting. Please inform me urgently, and make your arrangements for Senegal.

I will bring some cash with me, and make Alhaji sure that from now on we will be his own supplier.

Let's don't miss this great opportunity my friend!

I am waiting for your news

Best Regards,

Cem Pazarci

Dear Cem

How are you today my friend and your family, with hope all is well. Thanks for your message of today with content well understood. You are asking of Ivory Coast it is wonderful, with a lot of sun shine.

I have understand your position there is no problem, we shall meet in London I must find one way of the other to make sure I get my Visa as soon possible and meet you up in London. Moreover, as you have indicated that you are coming for an official visit to Senegal, there is no point of meeting in Senegal hence I can understand that you are working with a sensitive organization. However I have called the company that produced the product in London, to know if they still have the product. Meanwhile the manager promise that they have a stock of 500 cartons or more for disposal. The only thing we need to now, is to meet in London and secure the medicine then invite Alhaji to come and inspect the goods and pay our money that is all.

Please if you are coming to Africa, don’t bring any money, the product is not in Africa. Nobody ask you to bring money to Africa. Only what is supposed to do is to take the number of the company in London and call them to know how you arrange with them to get the medicine available. Then we shall invite Alhaji Bostra to come and see the goods and pay our money. I will like to know when you will be in London. I have concluded every arrangement with Alhaji only what they want to hear is that the product is ready come and inspect that is all.

Why I believe that you will not let me down, is because is a long time continual business.

Sincerely Gabah

Hello Paul,

How do you do dear friend? How is your family? I hope everything is ok with you. Greetings to Abidjan.

Well, your mail is excellent news, then I consider this business already completed dear friend! Every single step is planned very precisely and we'll meet in London. I expect to be able to travel to London sometime late April, but I can give a more exact time after my return from Senegal at the end of this week. I very much believe that I can arrange a London travel for April 25-28. London is like a second home for me, as I spent many years there, and there I will stay at a friend, but of course she will not know in any way, why I will be there, as this is confidential. And I will give you an exact time and venue to meet there.

Now, I am packing my suitcase for my Senegal journey tomorrow. I'll be in touch with you again, once I will return from there.

Take care and make your arrangements for London.

Hi Paul,

Ok then, I have reserved my flight for April 25, 2002. Now, I am giving you the details of our appointment for April 26, 2002 as follows:

Sorry, our meeting will take place a bit late in the afternoon, but I also have other things to do before. On April 26, at exactly 18:00 o'clock you shall be at the South Kensington underground station holding a Financial Times newspaper in your hand. This station has an exit to the street and also a long subway starts close to the ticket machines. You shall stay at the beginning of this long subway and raise your left hand with the Financial Times newspaper. At this time, two of my security guards will immediately identify you and call me and describe you to me. Then, all you have to do is simply to walk through the subway until the end having an exit to the Exhibition Road. Don't look behind while walking, don't make mistakes, my guards are sensitive on this. At the other end of the subway, i.e. Exhibition Road exit, I'll be waiting for you. When you see me, you shall say your name and the confidential business code O520. Then, I will take you into my car, and my driver will drive us to my office, where we'll have talks.

So, see you then.

Dear Cem,

How are you today ? Dear Cem

There is no legitimacy in your explanation for your intended meeting point. Do you think that this is dirty business ? Now that I have committed my trust with you then your putting bad language to me, why ? look Cem if your not ready any longer just inform me. I don’t want to get to London and be stranded there ok.

Meanwhile what do mean by (if you want to play the game !!) explain listen Cem I have just bought my ticket to London I am on waiting list 25 or 26. I will never search for the train station nor try to locate it period. If that is the only way you think you can have the meeting with me I am not a garage boy – ok !!!

1) This is how I think an average intelligent man supposed to meet if your arrive London before me send me the telephone number of the house or hotel where your going to stay, through the e-mail hence you can always access your mail from any where.

2) this is what I want to do I repeat to you, immediately I arrive in London I will buy a cell phone forward the number to you through the e-mail also the name of the hotel I will stay simple I will forward the cell number to you through internet, and wait for your call at least two or three days if I doesn’t hear from you then I will know that you are not capable .

NB : Please, please my Dear if you think that this transaction is not certificatory to your good self please kindly inform me, earlier, alright Because of this transaction I have live my office for two weeks, if this business doesn’t work I am standing the change of loosing my job. Please I am a civil servant with a home to care of. For God sake don’t mess me up.

NB : Will you meet with the company that sales the medicine at train station also , or whatever ? Now you said that we will be in the station for 10 minutes only. What do you mean by that ? And who are you coming with, if it is the person advice for you to wait for a friend coming all the way from Africa in train station 10 minutes the person must be poor advice if it is your own make up things is not being done that way ok.

Dear Cem then why do you choose to be in the embassy when you visited Senegal ?

Dear Paul,

Thanks for your important mail. I have found a flight to Yamoussoukro for Tuesday night. Now, please confirm this: Will you come to Yamoussoukro and pick me up from the airport there???

If you confirm, I will buy my ticket and come to Ivory Coast. That was the only flight I could find in a tight time.

My flight is a charter plane from Egyptair and will arrive at about 2:00 am on Wednesday (Tuesday night!!!) in Yamoussoukro. Please hold a sign bearing my full name "Cem Pazarci" at the arrival gate.

Waiting for your urgent confirmation!

Regards,

Cem

Dear Paul,

Thank you for your mail. I bought my ticket and tonight I am coming to Yamoussoukro.

This is my last mail before we'll meet us at the airport. I have packed my luggage now, and will leave for the airport in a few hours. I will first fly to Egypt and then to Yamoussoukro in the night. I will wear brown coton trousers and a short sleeved white shirt with vertical blue lines.

I will be at Yamoussoukro at about 2 o'clock tonight (Wednesday 2:00 am). Please hold a sign writing "Cem Pazarci" on it.

See you in Yamoussoukro later tonight!

Best Regards,

Cem Pazarci

Hi Paul,

Why did you not appear at the airport yesterday night??? What's happening man???

I am in Abidjan now. I have just checked my E-Mails with my notebook in my room. I am staying at Sofitel, Avenue Delafosse Prolongee. I told the receptionist to leave an urgent message for me, if you come and ask him for me. Now I am a bit hungry and am going to Biétry for eating. I will be at the restaurant Le Wafou (Bd. de Marseille) until 17:00. Then I will return to my hotel.

Ici, je peux pratiquer mon francais aussi. Côte d'Ivoire c'est un beau pay. Abidjan est tres joli. Je t'attends dans le restaurant ou dans mon hotel.

Regards,

Cem

Salut Paul,

Ca va?

Sorry forgetting to tell you my room number. I stay in room 31. Now, let's plan like that: Tonight I will be at the Nels Night Club in Treichville, and will return to the hotel very late. Tomorrow, I will get up very early and finish my breakfast at 9:30. So, we can meet in my room at 9:45 am. Is that okay for you? Just do come to my room (number 31) at 9:45 am tomorrow!

Regards,

Cem

Comments: After this mail, he stopped answering. Probably he understood, what an idiot he is. I wanted to see his idiot face, while he was waiting for me at the arrival gate of Yamoussoukro airport in the middle of the night 4 hours driving away from Abidjan.
