To: Dr. Seiyefa Obokoro

Dear Seiyefa,

Your sad case interests me. Sadly my company (Arse Bandit PLC) only donate to sporting organisations. We are the UK's leading donator to sports facilities and organisations and we also own the UK's 4th largest football club, Arse Bandit United.

If you have a branch of your organisation that promotes sporting activity then I may be able to help with a large donation (possibly around $90,000,00 Dollars), but unless you have such a branch then I am afraid I cannot help you.

My sincere regards,

Arthur Dent.
MD. Arse bandit PLC.

[I'm taking a wild guess that Seiyefa might just have a link with a sporting organisation!]

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Dr. Seiyefa Obokoro

Dear Dr. Obokoro,

Thank you for your reply.

Please feel free to ask Dr. Adewale to contact me if he feels that his department may benefit for our help. We are always willing to help to sponsor the development of sports wherever possible.

Please note that of course if a donation is requested we will need to receive some kind of proof of the existence of Dr. Adewale's development program. This should be a very simple matter and if Dr. Adewale contacts me then I can explain a simple way to prove his authenticity.

For your records, I have attached a photograph of our Reliant Stadium. This photograph was taken three weeks ago whilst preparing the stadium for a rock concert by the American rock group Trigger Happy.

With sincere regards,

Arthur Dent.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Mr. Smith Adwele

Dear Mr Adwale,

Thank you for your recent communication. My apologies for not replying to you much earlier but I have been in an important meeting with my board members.

I was expecting your email. I received a communication from your friend Dr. Obokoro yesterday. He was asking for help towards the upkeep for The Childcare Association of Ghana/Nigeria. Unfortunately I had to inform Dr. Obokoro that my company, Arse Bandit PLC only supply donations/financial help to sporting facilities and organisations.

As the owner of a large company and also Arse Bandits United Football Club (picture attached for your records) we are well aware of the benefits of helping young men and women to make more from their lives by using sport as a platform to fitness of mind body and spirit. Wherever possible all over the world we make charitable donations to companies or organisations that require help to facilitate the structurisation of freely available sporting facilities for young men and women, in the hope that this will help them stay off the street and hopefully away from crime and drugs. In fact, only last month we donated money and equipment to a sporting organisation in Nairobi, Kenya. Perhaps you know of them? They are called the East African Young Sports Association. They are located in the Westlands area of Nairobi.

Anyway, back to our business. Dr. Obokoro tells me that your department would benefit from a donation to help further your foundation's efforts to strive for a better life for the young men and women of Nigeria. Dr. Adewale, after consultation with my board members I am pleased to tell you that we would indeed be able to forward a donation to your foundation. Presently the amount we can offer you is US $87,550.00 (eighty seven thousand five fifty Dollars).

Of course, you will realise that we are unable to donate such large amounts without proof that your organisation is real, and that some way will have to be worked out so that you can provide me with proof. Here is my suggestion:

Presently we only offer donations to organisations with 20 (twenty) or more members. Would it be possible for you to supply me with a group photograph of yourself with 20 or more of your members? If you can supply a photograph with more then that is all the better. Of course, there will have to be some way to prove to me that the picture of these people is in fact of your members, but on receipt of your agreement to these terms I will suggest a way for you to do this.

On receipt of suitable photographic proof we can proceed immediately to forward the donation payment in a manner of your choosing.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Kind regards,

Arthur Dent.
Arse Bandit PLC.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Dr. Smith Adwele

Dear Dr. Adewale,

Many thank for your swift response, but I am afraid you have misunderstood my previous email to you (I have repeated it below).

Whilst I thank you for sending the photographs I am afraid that I will need to ask you to provide a new group photograph that shows some kind of proof that the people in the photograph are indeed allied to yourself and your organisation. Here is my proposal:

My company is called Arse Bandit, and so if you could ask all your members to be photographed together, with each of them holding a sign with the words ARSE BANDIT written/printed on them, that would be more than enough proof for my board members.

I need to be 100% sure in this respect as there are many people who try to fraudulently obtain funds. I am sure you will understand my position.

Please let me know your thoughts.

With sincere regards,

Arthur Dent.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Dr. Smith Adwele

Dear Mr. Adwele,

Thank you for your recent communication.

With regards to the sponsoring of your organisation, that can easily be arranged. My company is always happy to help promote any areas of sport, and unlike other sponsors we do not request any changes of documentation/paperwork, or the implementation of new managers etc.

Once we have proof of your membership (in the manner previously asked for) then All that will be required by you is to sign and date our agreement form and the payment will be sent to you in a manner which most suits you. After that my company have no request other than for you to keep us updated on the progress of your organisation. You will have no legal ties to use.

I hope that clears things up Mr Adwele, and if you require further explanation on how we would like the photograph to be taken please do not hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Arthur Dent.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Dr. Smith Adwele

Dear Mr. Adwele,

Thank you for your email, and I am encouraged by your positive response.

Once the matter of proof of your organisation is given to me I will be happy to forward all my private contact information. I am afraid until this matter has been cleared up positively I cannot forward such information yet. I am not trying to insult you Mr. Adwele, but such information is only given out to trusted business associates. Once I have received suitable photographic evidence I will of course be more than happy to communicate with you on a more personal basis, moreover, once the matter of your organisation's activates are confirmed I would also like to invite you over to the UK (all expenses paid) to view our club and sporting facilities. Perhaps would will be able to offer you much advice.

As for the photograph, I shall explain in detail what is required.

You need to gather 20 (twenty) or more of your organisations employees.

Each individual member need to hold a clear sign with the words ARSE BANDIT written upon it. A4 sized paper will fine for this purpose.

Gather all the members together holding the signs and then take a photograph of the entire group and then send it to me as an attachment.

Once I receive the image and verified it then I will send you a very simple agreement form to complete. All this requires is your name and signature. Once I receive the signed agreement then the donation can be paid out to you immediately in the manner of your choosing, or if you wish, you can fly over to the UK and collect it in person, whichever suits you best.

IMPORTANT: It is VITAL that the words on the signs should be very clear, and that the photograph is large and very clear also. Small or unclear images will be rejected.

I hope that is enough information for you Mr. Adwele, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincere regards,

Arthur Dent.
MD. Arse Bandit PLC.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Mr. Ebi Garr

Dear Sir,

Many thanks for your email which is most welcome. Please, when you reply would you please give me your full name as you have neglected to mention it in your email?

It is good to see that you are promoting sporting facilities for the young people of Nigeria, and as the owner of a large football club ourselves (Arse Bandits United) we like to try to help people who are promoting fitness and also helping the young people to stay away from a life of crime. I have to say I was very impressed by your letter, and I would like to try to help you if possible.

I think we may be able to help you with a donation, but presently we are actually processing a donation payment for another organisation in your area. Perhaps you know the gentleman concerned? His name is Mr. Adwele and he runs a sporting foundation in Nigeria also. Anyway, until Mr. Adwele's donation payment has been processed I am afraid cannot proceed with your case. Because of the strict charity laws here in the UK we are only allowed to make donation payments once all outstanding cases have been cleared.

I expect Mr. Adwele's donation to be processed within the next 7 days however. I am awaiting receipt of a photograph from him, and then his signature on our donation agreement form. Once I receive this my company will immediately make the payment to him immediately and then of course we will be free to process your application for a donation. I have to tell you however that we will require some proof of your organisation in the form of a photograph. I will explain exactly what is required at a later date.

If you are still interested in our help and are willing to wait until we have dealt with Mr. Adwele then please reply to me ASAP.

Thank you again for your email, and I look forward to hearing from you again soon.

Kindest regards,

Arthur Dent.

Dear Ebi,

Thank you for your prompt response.

It is good to know that you are aware of Mr. Adwele. He seems like a nice person to me.

With regards to your question; We are awaiting a photograph from Mr. Adwele, which we have been told may be arriving today. Once we receive a satisfactory photograph from him we shall send him a agreement form to sign. Once he has done this his donation will be paid out immediately. Of course, how long this takes depends on Mr. Adwele. If he send the photograph today then I shall forward him the agreement immediately. As soon as he return that to me signed then the payment can me made straight away and then we can move on to the matter of your donation.

Providing that Mr. Adwele sends a suitable photograph then I expect his donation to be paid out within 4 or 5 days.

So Ebi, I think that there should not be a problem organising your donation within a matter of a week or two. Everything rests with Mr. Adwele now.

My sincere regard,

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Mr. Ebi Garr

Dear Ebi,

Thank you once again for your swift response.

Basically the photograph is needed as proof of the number of members/associates in your organisation. Presently we only donate to organisations who are able to prove that they have 20 or more members/associates in their organisation. It is complicated, but it is one of the subsection of rules (UK Charities act) that we have to abide by.

What we would require is that you gather all your members together (20 or more), and have a group photograph taken. Each INDIVIDUAL member/employee must hold a small sign with the name of our company (Arse Bandit). You then need to send this photograph to us as a attachment. VERY IMPORTANT: You must ensure that the image is large and clear. If the photograph is not clear is will be rejected.

The reason we ask people to pose holding our company name will ensure the photograph is genuine. Sadly because we are a large multi million Dollar company we do get a lot of dishonest people who try many trick to gain access to our funds, so by asking for such a photograph it show the people in the image are genuine.

I hope that is of help.

Kind regards,

Arthur Dent.

From: Arthur Dent (Managing Director)
To: Mr. Ebi Garr

Dear Mr. Ebe.

My apologies for not letting you know of the amount. Details of our standard donation amounts are posted at the charities commission, I had assumed that you had seen the information there.

In fact the total amount due would entirely depend on whether Mr. Adwele is able to proceed with his donation to a successful conclusion. You see, we are at the end of our financial year, and have only a small amount of fund left to distribute. If Mr. Adwele sends a suitable photograph and completes our agreement form then he will be awarded our standard amount. However, if Mr. Adewale is unable to complete our donation procedure to our satisfaction then that will leave more funds for us to pass on to you, so your donation amount will vary between US $46,250.00 and US $90,165.00 When we pay out the donation we also send information packs with all kinds of useful information and advice.

So as you can see, until Mr. Adwele has completed his side of the procedure the total amount is unknown, but the minimum amount will be $46,250.00.

I hope that has answered some of your questions.
