Dear Ebi,
My apologies for the delay, my meeting went on for much longer than
I expected. Please find attached the two pages of our agreement
form. Please ignore the parts which mention receipt of the photograph.
You have already sent this to use so there is no need to consider
this.
As you will see the first part of the form is very simple, and all
that is required is your name, signature and date. Page two of the
form is slightly different. All you need to do write in the large
blank area what you intend to use the donation payment for. There
are no rules about this, just write down basically what areas of
your club, management and facilities you intend to use the donation
for.
Once you have completed both forms, please send them back to us
as an email attachment. Once we have received them they will be
passed onto the Donation Committee and your payment will be made
within 24 hours.
Please let me know if you need any further help.
Kind regards,
Arthur Dent.
MD. Arse Bandit PLC.

Dear Ebi,
Many thanks for sending me the agreement forms. Please will you
inform me how you require payment?
We can send you a cheque, wire transfer, western union, or if it
suits you I can even send one of my representatives who is in Africa
at this very moment to bring you the full amount in cash. [Let
me take a wild stab in the dark; Western Union Money Transfer by
any chance?]
Let me know your preferred method.

To: Mr. Ebi Garr
Dear Ebi,
My PA Charles Brocket returned from the Western Union office a short
while ago to tell me he was unable to make the payment in full.
Apparently there is a new rule in force that prevents single payments
of more that $2000 being sent to your country. The only way to make
the payment would be in multiples of $2000 which will be rather
time consuming.
Let me know your thoughts.

Dear Arthur,
Thanks for the mail and the informatiom you sent

i'm very sorry to hear that there is a new riule
in force. But i will like to know if you can send the money with
the rule, i know it will take much of your time please consider
my club, it will be ok by me if you send the money via that way
becos it's the only way the money can be safe.
i will like to know if it's every day that you
can send the $2000 to me please. please i beg of you to help my
club with the way western union money transfer.
i will be waiting for your reply ASAP.

Dear Ebi,
Thank you for the details you sent, but when I contacted my bank
to arrange the transfer my bank manager told me that there is no
such (real) bank as the Standard Trust Bank. He told me the bank
had a site at www.standardtrust.com but that this was a fake bank
and the FBI are currently investigating it.

Dear Ebi,
It has been confirmed to me my London's Scotland Yard police headquarters
that the bank IS being used for fraudulent purposes. In fact I am
told that the bank is currently under investigation fro the UK police
and the United States FBI.
I have been advised not to transfer any funds into
that bank. I think that we have to send the money either by Western
Union in multiple payments, or I can send a representative to you
to pay the amount in full in cash.

Dear Ebi,
Good morning sir. This is Charles Brocket again.
I am sorry but I have to give you some very terrible
news. My boss Arthur Dent died some days ago as a result of an accident
whilst he was out jogging. I hope you will understand that because
of this horrible event I have not been able to concentrate on any
other matters.
Ebi I have attached some information regarding Arthur's
death which will help explain matters clearly. Please take care,
some of the images below are very disturbing, but it is right that
you should know the full truth of the event.
Of course I understand that Mr. Dent was sending you
the donation payment last week, and of course once the funeral is
over I will endeavour to make the payment to you myself.
That is all I can tell you for the moment. I am very
sorry to give you such bad news. I will be in touch again very soon
once Mr. Dents funeral has been finalised.
Regards,
Charles Brocket, PA.

From: Charles Brocket, PA
To: Mr. Ebi Garr
Dear Mr. Garr,
I think there has been some confusion. I did send you an email a
few days ago, but it seems that you did not receive it.
The police investigation has now been completed and
I can make arrangements to send you the payment.
Unfortunately, because of the police investigation into Mr. Dent's
death, his computer was removed from the office, and so I do not
have access to he emails he sent to you and also the final donation
photograph that you sent to him (the team photograph). Please can
you forward me another copy of this photograph ASAP and once it
has been received I will make arrangements to send the payment to
you.
I know in a previous email that Arthur requested that although he
was happy with your photograph he would have liked to have had a
bigger and clearer scan of it. If it is possible that you could
have the picture scanned again to be larger and clearer, that would
be most appreciated.
I look forward to hearing from you again soon.
Kinds regards,
Charles Brocket.

Also, for our records please can you scan a sample of your football
clubs headed notepaper for our records. Once we have the information
above I can start to process your payment.
One final question; Have you contacted the owner of the website
that your information is featured on (419?) to ask him to explain
to you why your data appears there? If so, what did he tell you?
Kind regards,

Thanks for mailing back it ok i know why i used

.That was why i used the name and i was trying to find out if you
were really not haveing a hand with the site.
Anyway i just want to let you know that i don't think i can get
you the photograph i have tried my best so if you knoe you can't
make the payment with all the information i have sent to you and
the late Mr Dent you can forget about the payment.
I don't have much to say but you can keep your money and give it
to some one you know you can play with, as the manager of my club
for now i knoe i have tried to see the my club get all the facilities
that was why i needed help from you but it seem that you want to
play with me it's ok by me am not agree but i will like to say.Thanks
for the time and all the possible mean which you wanted to help
my club.
And before i forget Mr Dent and you made it up ok the 1st payment
he made was i fake and i found all that when i was checking out

i will like to stop here anyway by and GOD bless.

From: Charles Brocket, PA
To: Mr. Ebi Garr
Dear Mr. Garr,
I think you misunderstand me. Let me try to explain:
I do NOT require you to get a new photograph taken. I do NOT need
a new photograph.
All that I am requesting is that you send me a new SCAN of the old
photograph, but to try to send me a larger scan. It is very simple;
all you need to do is take the photograph that you already have
to a scan machine, and ask for it to be scanned again, but at a
higher quality. That is all that is needed and NOTHING more.
Once that issue is finalised we can proceed immediately. If you
are willing to do this then I have including some instructions below
for you to give to the person who will scan the picture for you.
Just take the original team photograph you sent to me to the scanner
and give him the instructions below.
Regards,
Charles Brocket, PA.
[Scanning instructions attached]
10 May, 2004
Seems that Ebi has finally come to his senses and
realised he was being played for a fool. He hasn't replied to me
since April 26th, so I guess that's the end of it.
I know that Ebi has read these letters here of
course, so if you're reading Ebi, thanks for all the laughs, it
was great whilst it lasted. I hope you didn't promise the football
team too much to pose like mugus
Time to move on to the next fake football team
I suppose....
