No messing about. A scammer comes straight out and asks for cash. I can respect that. Doesn't mean I can't mess with the idiot though!

Subject: Raising Moses's hand

Dear Brethen,

May the peace of God the father, the Son and the Holy Spirit be with you all.

We are a non profit organisation resides in part of Afica. Our organisation's name is Moses's Hand Foundation.

We've decided to erased child abuse and some other things which make the youths to be idles.

Our recent research made us to realised that many youths in Africa were initiated to be a frauders, they don't have any good intention or any room for the Lord in their hearts. When you asked them, they have some reasons which might be "genuine" in their own eyes but in God's eyes there are no excuse.

This Foundation now decided to stand on it's feet believing that it will get a good support from International countries to say no to Child Abuse and change the mind of youths for Christ.

We decided to have a National Seminars for youth and som e other programmes that will make these youths to know that if they can study and work and trust God they can do good in the land by not stealing or do frauding all around.

Brethen, we need your assistance, either in monetary terms or materials. Your assistance may be some christian books that we can give these people after this program. whatsoever.

Let's join hands to say no child abuse in any form, prostitutions and stealing and frauding in any form.

Remember that our Moses needed somebody to raise his hand so that victory can be sure.

We shall be glad to read from you if you want to assist us financially or materially.

Shalom

Best Regards
Bro. John Walker

Dear Mr. Walker,

Thank you for your letter, which has been gratefully received.

Sir, I have some good news for you, it appears you have some to the right place to get what you deserve;

I am happy to tell you that as a benefactor of many charity cases here in the UK I will be happy to send a monetary donation to you, however, there are formalities that must be adhered to before I can offer you such help.

Firstly, some information about myself; I am a man of God myself. My title is Reverend Covered Inpiss. I run my small church, and we are fundamental Christians and Animalistic Anglicans. This means that we worship Almighty God as all Christian do, but we also hold certain animals in very high regard. As in the Indian faith, we regard the cow as the holiest of God's holy creatures, hence our church is named The Church of The Holy Cow (Amen).

Every year our church donates many thousands of Dollars to worthwhile cases, and during a meeting of our councillors I discussed your cause with them. All agreed that your cause was worthy and just, so it has been decided that we will be able to donate some funds to help your Moses's Hand Foundation.

For the moment we are only able to offer a small sum of $52,000.00 (Fifty two thousand Dollars), but providing you use this amount wisely, I see no reason not to help you further at a later date. [A pitiful sum I know, but I guess a little more than John was expecting to screw out of me in the first place!]

As we are a registered charity, of course certain paperwork has to be completed to arrange this cash payment to you. Please signal your agreement to filling out the required forms and I shall forward them to you for your completion and signature. Once we have received your completed forms we will then forward the donation to you in a manner which best suits you.

I hope that meets with your Agreement?

Sincerely,

Reverend Covered Inpiss.

Dear Sir,

My name is Phil A. Holein, and I am the head of the Church of The Holy Cow's donation committee.

Reverend Inpiss passed on your photograph to me for inspection before the $52,000.00 donation can be submitted.

It seems that you have misunderstood the instructions given to you by the good reverend. I shall explain:

The condition of being awarded the cash amount is entirely dependant on you supplying a photograph of yourself OR a trusted representative, holding a sign containing the picture of the Church of The Holy Cow. This means that you need to get the Church of The Holy Cow picture PRINTED OUT, and then have a photograph taken of yourself OR a trusted representative holding it.

I am afraid the images that you have sent this evening are entirely unacceptable, as you have just copied and pasted the church picture over the top of another picture (technically called a composite image, or more generally, a forgery). This is not the same as printing out the image and having yourself photographed holding it.

Please note that until we receive the image in the manner we described then we cannot release the funds.

Sincerely,

Phil A. Holein.
Donation Committee.

Dear Mr Phil,

It is my pleasure once again. I quite appreciate all your effort to make our vision worthwhile.

Sir, truly speaking we technically pasted the logo of the church of holy cow and this is the reason behind this:

The film did not clear very well and the logo this not appear as it ought to be, and we now decided that since this thing did not clear then let's look for another option so that we can send the representaives picture ASAP.

However, for verification and truth of what I am saying check the original picture of our representatives that we sent to you. [They attached a pic, which did indeed look washed out, so I forgive them!]

You will discovered that the logo did not clear very well. Sir, at this point try to check the picture I am sending to you very well and let us know if you accept it, if not, then we shall look for a professional photograpy company to let us do this asap.

Thank you my good reverend

Dear Mr. Walker,

Thank you for your email, your explanation is appreciated.

Sir, I am sorry, but you will have to try to get the photograph taken correctly. The decision is not up to only me, but a group of the church donation committee, and they are insistent that the funds cannot be released until a satisfactory image is received.

If it makes it easier for you, you may try to draw/copy the image onto a larger sign that may photograph more clearly.

I thank you again for your explanation, and I look forward to receiving a new image.

Kindest regards,

Phil A. Holein.

Dear Reverend,

The receiver went to the bank as directed, but unfortunately they did not pay the receiver the amount expected. Please notify the bank you sent the payment through about this.

However, they said the amount is too much to be paid at once in any of the branches here.

So they adviced if you can retrieve the money back from the bank and send it bit by bit (send $8,000 consecutively through the same receipient.)

I will like to read from you ASAP.

Can you please give me the actual time that I can call you without answering machine? Or you call me 234-1-4926527

Dear Mr. Walker.

This is Phil A. Holein of the Church of The Holy Cow's Donation Committee.

I am disturbed that you did not receive the payment. I was not told that there would be problems when I made the payment at my local bank, the Royal Bank of Scrotums.

I tried to call you on the number you gave, but I could not get through. I asked the operator to connect me also, but I was told there were network problems and I cold not be connected. I will contact my bank and see what I can do for you if I can be bothered.

Please telephone me on my direct UK telephone number of (United Kingdom) 044 7092 037 387 to discuss these matters.

Rev. Inpiss,

Sir, I have mailed Rev. Holein about the issue of non receiving the payment here.

I delibrately mailed you again because you are the one that went to pay the said amount.

There would be a National Work Boycott here this week, and we don't want this to disturb our project, so we beseech you that you should please do something ASAP.

I have contacted Rev Holein and he said he would do something about it.

here they Insisted here that $52,000.00 is too large to pay, and they said the only option is too receive this money bit by bit (which means we can only receive at most $8,000) installmentally.

i am afraid good reverend because the receiver's information have been collected, along with all necessary information e.g Security text/answer. So this bothered us so much, and we need your response. I am still expecting his mail yet. Please once again.

I would be waiting anxiously to get your reply.

[ I send some shocking news]

Dear Mr. Walker,

Sadly it seems that Reverend Covered Inpiss has deliberately gone missing. I am shocked to discover that the reverend has also taken a lover (strictly forbidden in our faith) and the police have informed us that they have taken a flight to Scotland, which is about 600 miles from our location. We have made many requests for the reverend's return, but all have gone unanswered. His story has been featured in he News of The World (newspaper clip attached) so hopefully some news will come out of this.

With regards to your donation; we are trying very hard to collect your payment from another branch of our church, and as soon as the funds have been cleared I will try to make the payment in the manner you requested.

 

Sincerely,

Rev. Phil

Dear Mr. Walker,

My name is Father Ted Crilley and I am one of the members of the Church of The Holy Cow Donation Committee, and I am also the press officer for our organisation.

It is with great sadness in my heart that I have to announce the death of the Reverend Covered Inpiss. Apparently, the reverend took your donation money and hid it away inside a cows vagina (I am told they are very capacious). Unfortunately, when the Reverend Inpiss tried to retrieve the cash, the cow suffered a vaginal spasm and Reverend Inpiss was locked permanently inside the cows vagina and suffocated to death.

Fortunately, Reverend Inpiss managed to withdraw most of the cash before he passed on, and once we have it cleaned we shall put it into the bank and forward the payment to you ASAP.

I am sorry to bring you such bad news, but hey, at least you'll get your money!

Bless you,

Father Ted Crilley.

Dear brother Walker,

Thank you for your email, and I will try to give you some news.

I am disturbed that the police investigation is taking much longer than anticipated. It appears that the death of the reverend C. Inpiss may not have been an accident after all. The police have arrested his lover Mrs. Doyle, and are questioning her over the death of the reverend. Mrs. Doyle was arrested outside our church yesterday, and I have attached a photograph of this disturbing event.

It seems that the polices suspect Mrs. Doyle may be herself responsible for the death of the good reverend. When the donation money was counted after the tragic accident, there was $7,500.00 missing. After some investigation, the police discovered this very same amount in Mrs. Doyle's bank account.

I hope you will appreciate that this is very disturbing news to me indeed. I will try to send you more news ASAP and I do hope to get the donation to you very soon.

Bless you,

Father Ted Crilley.

[Mrs. Doyle gets taken away. I made sure the same pic of Mrs. Doyle was used as I put in the newspaper article, that way John would recognise her. Not a brilliant editing job, but it'll do!]

Dear Mr. Walker.

Good news! I am happy to tell you that the full payment can now be made to you.

Unfortunately there will be a slight change of plan. Because of the police investigation, the Church of The Holy Cow has had to put a hold on all electronic banking facilities, therefore I cannot transfer the payment in the manner you require because of the modalities of the investigation.

However, the good news is that I am due to visit one of our churches in Nairobi (Kenya) on Wednesday next week, therefore, I can arrange to fly directly to Lagos first, make the payment to you in cash, and then take an inbound flight to Nairobi. This way instead of paying the donation in small amounts, I can give you the entire amount in one lump sum, I am sure you will be most happy to hear this news.

There is one last thing that will need to be done before I can come to meet with you. Because of recent tragic events, the Church of The Holy Cow has ordered me to ensure that all modalities are completed in a more secure way. The church have demanded that before I meet with you, you must write out by hand a letter to the church thanking them for the donation. Again, please note that this letter my be hand written, not typed. If you agree to this, I will forward you the details of what you will need to write in the letter.

Please signal your agreement to this and then I will forward you the letter and my flight itinerary as well as my passport photo so that you may be able to identify me at the airport. I urge you to act fast in this matter as my flight leaves early next week.

Sincerely,

Father Ted Crilley.

If your answer is no problem, then can send the format you want it to be I mean the writing letter which will be like a letter of appreciattion. But before then I need the following information sir:

Dear John,

No need to worry about the money. I have special authority at airports and customs lounges because of my ministry. All I need from you is to ensure that there will be someone trustworthy to meet with me at the airport who can guarantee my safety on my short stay with you. I can arrange a VISA within 24 hours so this will not be a problem. The police are entirely happy with my proceeding to visit you.

My direct telephone number is (United Kingdom ) 044 7092 037 387. If I am not home to receive you message, please leave your message and details on my answer phone. I am extremely busy, so if I am not at home please leave a message to let me know you have called.

Please note that because I get a lot of time wasting calls, you will be required to leave a password phrase that will identify you as a trusted caller.

Dear John,

Sorry, you are now being very incongrusive. [Don't know what that word means, I just made it up!]

It's up to you; if you do not want the donation please let me know and I will forward it to a more worthy cause.

Time is very short.

Ted Crilley.

Dear John,

I am sorry but I have spoken to my donation committee and they will not let me travel to you until this letter is received. If you cannot correct it before Wednesday then I will have to fly direct to Nairobi and on receipt of your letter I will fly to your location. I will be travelling with my laptop computer so I will be able to keep in constant touch.

[No reply from John for xxxx. Time to ask what's happening?]

From: Father Ted Crilley
To: [email protected]

Dear Sir,

It has been many days now since your last email. Am I to presume that you no longer require this donation?

Please let me know ASAP as I have other people who would benefit from this money if you do not require it.

Sincerely,

Father Ted Crilley.

 

 

[Finally the hand written document arrives]

Subject: Re: Ref. Donation No. 11423/AE/3316

father ted,

We are sorry for the lateness in sending this.

Please get the attached document for the appreciation of what you are abou tto do

Hand written document

 

Sadly the document that John sent wasn't very clear. All my attempts to try to clear it up failed to improve it much, so here is a typed version of what john wrote:

"To the committee of The Church of The Holy Cow.

Dear Committee members,

Ref. Donation No. 11423/AE/3316 Date: 26/10/03

My name is John Walker of the Moses Hand Foundation.

May I thank you for the gracious gift that your church is bringing to me. I am a very cretinous man, and I bless the Lord for bringing your contact to me. May the lord show you that I am a true wanker, and that the church will fill my gonads with the holy milk of the Holy Cow (Ermintrude). I promise that I will wank with this payment truthfully and to the benefit of all good men. I pledge this in the name of The Church of The Holy cow as I am a complete tosser of the highest order. My intellectual prowess would pale into insignificance compared to a holy flea.

Your generous donation will help to rid our country of Child Abuse and the badness that resides in the hearts of our youths. Indeed your money will be used very wisely, and we will trickle it to almost sod-all within a very small stretch of time. We shall create National Seminars for our youth's. We shall ensure they are fully stained by semen and sent asunder for buttock testing and sphincter probing.

Dear committee members, please be assured that your generous donation will be wisely used, and for one nine will be how you shall remember me.

My grateful thanks,

Signed,

John Walker."

Juvenile I know, but the point here is to make the scammer look like an idiot!

 

 

[I try to get a better image]

From: Father Ted Crilley
To: [email protected]

Dear Sir,

I am sorry but the image you have sent is far too small and it cannot be read. The writing and image is too small. Please can you scan the image again in a larger size.

Sincerely,

Father Ted Crilley.

 

UPDATE:

Sadly, weeks have gone by and I never received a reply from Mr. Walker. Either he twigged I was baiting him or he lost the will to live!

I sent a reminder to him, but I was ignored (not for the first time!).

 

END.
