Reverend Bondi Cigars is a Touch Too Much for Sister Mary

 Sister Mary Kolams [The Scammer]

 Reverend Bondi Cigars [A pastor from Boston]

 Mr Freddy Taylor [A shifty diplomat from Accra]

 Professor Rupert J Felcher III [Special guest appearance]

 Additional comments by me [not my real photo !]

 

 

[Origin of the term 'Bondi Cigar': ".....A few years ago Bondi Beach had a terrible problem with 'effluence' floating in the water and washing up on the sand because of a faulty sewerage system in Sydney. These raw deposits were named various things including 'blind mullets' and 'Bondi Cigars'. Contact with one of these 'cigars' was invariably an unpleasant experience and could leave the victim in a state of shock. Bondi Cigars were known to target unsuspecting interstate and international tourists....."]

 

 

For this scambait, the Reverend Father Bondi Cigars takes a break from his regular duties (whatever the hell they might be) and steps up to the plate for the first time as a solo act. The scammer, Mary Kolams, much to her misfortune, dropped into his (my) clutches via the latest 419eater shuttle. That turned out to be one rocket-fuelled ride to disaster for her as we shall see…….

Dear friend,

THIS TRANSACTION DEMANDS ABSOLUTE HONESTY.

I am Miss. MARY KOLAMS, the daughter of DR.S.I.KOLAMS, who was assassinated by the rebel juntas of my country Liberia. My late father, until his death was the personal assistance on monetary and financial matters to the president MR.CHARLES TAYLOR.He was assassinated by the rebels for not compromising to their demands. While he was alive, he used his position to secretly and concretely moved the sum of $45M.USD (Forty five million Dollars) out of my country to a safe depository firm in a safe and peaceful country where he lodged in the consignment that contains the fund to the safe depository without the real contents of the consignment revealed to the company, this he did for security reasons.

Nobody knows about this fund, not even the president. My family are now in peaceful country where they are taking asylum with the president Charles Taylor because our lives were at risk in our country Liberia, we believed that the rebels that killed my late father might still come after us, that is our reason of joining the president to asylum.I therefore want to know if you can secure this fund in your country? If you are in the best position to handle this transaction, I therefore suggest that you kindly re-confirm to me the followings:

1. Your full name.

2. Your mobile telephone number.

3. Your full contact address.

4. Your Profession, age and marital status.

As soon as this above information is received, I shall commence processes with the safe depository where the consignments that contains the fund is deposited for immediate lifting of the consignment to you to your designated address via a specially arranged courier services means. But this will be after our face-to-face meeting. I want you to also undersand that my inexperience in capital investment and fund management prompted me to contact you for this transaction. I also want you to understand that this transaction should be treated as a matter of urgency because our asylum here is been threatening because Charles Taylor is facing the world crime tribunal now.

It is to our interest to conclude our transaction before any drastic decision is taking against Charles Taylor or else we will be stranded. Remember also that this transaction should be handled with utmost secrecy and confidentiality for our own security and safety. Please send your reply to this address :  [email protected]

Yours sister,

Miss. Mary Kolams. 

 

 

[Pffft. What a crock of shit. Even so, The Reverend Father Bondi Cigars, a man possessed of monumental powers of empathy and compassion, simply cannot resist reaching out to Sister Mary in her time of need…….Reaching out like a praying mantis reaching out to grab its next victim that is…….]

Calvary Greetings Sister Mary,

Thanks for the mail sister. I have studied the agreement. An outstanding document. I have sent it off to be analysed and completed by the church’s document processing committee. I am sure my church would be willing to assist you, however there are some small security modalities that would have to be addressed first. Please contact me again at the earliest possible opportunity for further instructions.

Regards
Father Bondi

 

 

 

[As you can see, Father Bondi is a bit of a control freak, and there’s no way he’s going to let Mary get the upper hand in these exchanges even for one minute.]

I am most glad to receive your response and acceptance to abide by the agreement/bond of this transaction and your assurance to assist me truely and honestly in this transaction.

 

You mentioned in your mail that 'there are some small security modalities that would have to be addressed first' please could you explain what you mean and how that would be addressed first.

 

Otherwise, I advise we proceed immediately in this transaction without any further delay. I advise for your urgent arrangement for the face-to-face meeting in Dubai and also to proceed in this transaction immediately.
I suggest we have this meeting in Dubai, United Arab Emirate.
This is because the delivery firm that will move the consignments that contains the fund from where the consignments are deposited now can bring it to Dubai where they have a representative/affiliate office, this means that we will proceed immediately in moving the fund to your country after our face-to-face meeting in Dubai for onward investment of the fund in your country.

 

Also, I want you to understand that the immigration officer here who is arranging this co
