Dear Mr. Madu (JNR),
Thank you for your email, which I found extremely
interesting and boring at the same time (but that's just me). I
sympathise with your plight. Robert Mugabe is indeed scum, and I
for one would like to stab that bastard 419 times in the back! My
apologies for my language Iyke, Mr. Mugabe makes me feel this way.
[Will Iyke spot my 419 reference - I don't think so]
Anyway, I would be very happy to try to help you.
Please get back to me with your plans ASAP.
Sincerely,
Mr. Butt Clencher.

Dear Iyke,
Thanks for the email.
Sorry about the phone thing. The number is actually a forwarding
number, and automatically gets switched to my answer service if
I am unavailable. I do a lot of travelling in my business and so
I am never in one location for very long. The number I quoted previously
is my direct number, but as I say if I am busy the answer phone
will automatically take the call. My apologies over this, but I
am an extremely busy man, as well as a transvestite.
Please will you confirm to me what dates you would prefer me to
travel to South Africa so that I can try to book a flight for a
suitable date and also find some nice mini skirts.
Sincerely,
Butt Clencher.

Dear Mr. Madu,
Mr. Ndlovu contacted me by email today, and I have sent him the
details he requested.
I will book my flight shortly and then email you the flight details
so that you can get a hotel room booked for me. If at all possible,
I would be grateful for a list of local brothels in your area.

From: Mr. Butt Clencher

Dear Iyke,
Please find attached my booking receipt. I have forward this, along
with my requested details to JABULANI NDLOVU.
I am afraid the earliest flight that I could get was
the 24th of September, I hope this is acceptable.
I would appreciate it if you could go ahead and book the hotel for
me. I will be there for four days. Please book the room for me and
forward me the booking receipt for the hotel.
Please will you let me know if there are any processing fees that
may be required for the release of the funds? If there are, I would
appreciate it if you could advise me on the sum that may be required
so I can be sure to bring the right amount of cash.
Sincerely,
Mr. Butt Clencher.

DEAR SIR,
SUBJECT:YOUR TRAVEL DETAILS
We received your mail and have discussed with your partner as to
the information of your flight.
However,a copy of your flight ticket is not clear
from the attachment.We shall require you to forward relevant information
like the airline,arrival date and time,etc to enable us make the
reservation and fax a copy of the reservation to you.
We shall proceed to the security company for details
of the outstanding bills accrued to the consignment and the legal
requirements for fund release.

NB: we will tell you about brothel when you arrive
From: Mr. Butt Clencher
To: J. Ndlovu
Dear Sir,
For your clarification, the details are as follows:
Leave HEATHROW (United Kingdom) Wednesday 25th September
at 19:30 hours FLIGHT No. BA 0055
Arrive JOHANNESBURG Thursday 26th September at 07:20 hours. FLIGHT
No. BA 0055
Depart JOHANNESBURG Tuesday 28th October 05:25 hours. FLIGHT No.
BA 0056
The reason my leaving date is so long after my arrival
date is because after our meeting I am going to take an internal
flight to Nairobi, Kenya to visit some of my relatives who live
there. I will then return to Johannesburg to take my BA flight back
home (I have mentioned this previously).
Please note that I am used to staying in the Hilton hotel when on
my travels, so if possible I would require a room to be booked in
your nearest Hilton hotel (1 night should be enough as I am hoping
our meeting will be over quite quickly and get to the local brothels).
I will require booking verification before I travel.
I would appreciate it if you would be able to calculate the total
amount of cash you require from me. I am aware that there may be
other fees required for document processing etc, and I would like
to be able to bring the correct amount.
Sincerely,
Butt Clencher

From: Mr. Butt Clencher
To: J. Ndlovu
Dear Sir,
Thank you for informing me of the total cost of the complete processing.
Considering the amount which will be freed by this payment, the
charge seems fair. I would prefer to bring the total amount in cash,
as I am sure this would help to facilitate quicker processing, and
cash always impresses the womenfolk. I do not want to stay in S.A.
for any longer than is necessary, as I have heard it is a bit of
a hellhole. I run my own business, and I need to get back to it
ASAP.
One final thing; please would you tell me your location in Johannesburg
so that I may plan my travel itinerary correctly?
Sincerely,
Mr. Butt Clencher.

Dear Mr. Madu,
It seems my request for the hotel of my choice to be booked before
I arrive is being refused. I have been very accepting up until now,
even going so far as to book my flight to you (a my expense of US
$1,800 Dollars AND withdraw $23,500.00 in cash). It seems your contacts
do not know how to operate in a courteous and businesslike way,
therefore I will cancel my flight in the morning and end the deal
here and now.
I wish you luck finding another partner.

From: Mr. Butt Clencher
To: iyke_madu
Dear Mr. Madu and also Attorney Jabulani Ndlovu (I
have sent this email to both of you, but you are probably partners
or one and the same person).
By now you may probably have guessed that I am not on the flight.
My apologies.
You see, from your very first email I knew that you were in fact
a 4-1-9 scammer, and all you wanted to do was steal my hard earned
money. Of course I know that there is no $15.5 million Dollars.
I know that Iyke Madu/Jabulani Ndlovu are probably not your real
names.
I know that you were waiting for me to arrive in Johannesburg ready
to steal my money from me. You are thieves and scammers, that is
the truth. You see Iyke, all the pictures that I sent to you were
false. My name is not Butt Clencher. Butt Clencher is in fact a
joke name. Butt is a shorthand version of the word bottom.
The passport I sent to you is 100% false. The picture is not me!
In fact, the picture on the passport is in fact a British movie
star called Hugh Grant. Please use a search engine and enter in
the name, and you will find out all about him.
Thank you for going to the trouble of booking the hotel. Your time
was completely wasted, and also, I hope you wasted some of your
own money too. How does it feel to be a mugu this time? Not very
nice is it?!
Cheers,
Shiver Metimbers
