I have read through ye first proposal more carefully, and I am happy to tell ye that I will be able to help ye for sure. Please forward yer old cap'n instructions on how ye would like to continue, me old shipmate. Will this proposal require old shivers to fly to Cote d'Ivoire to finalise the deal? If this is that case, am I allowed to bring my trusty parrot Jim'lad with me? I cannot leave him at home ye see. As ye will have guessed, I am a sailor by trade, but for many years I have been retired now. I lost me old hand to a rabied shark of ye east coast of Clacton-On-See.

I don't have to tell ye how much pain yer old captain Timbers was in, and my sea dog superiors had me walk the plank to retirement AAAR! Avast for now me hearty, Shiver Metimbers.

[At last! The "bank" gets in touch, and attaches a document for me to fill in and sign] Date: Tue, 16 Sep 2003 04:32:22 -0500 From Dr. Fredrick Adams

From Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Mr. Adams, [I attached the completed and signed form]
[And now may I present.... the dash for cash] From Dr. Fredrick Adams
Date: 16th September, 2003
Sir, Reference to our on going cmmunication in respect of your fund transfer, which has already been slatted to be reflected in your bank account with PLUNDER & FLEE PLC on Monday next week as we have got no much time to waste since we are prepering to round up with the sencond quarter payment session. Furthermore, you are thus required to pay proper attention to the following as this is in line with the processing as we working to meet up with the transfer date: 1. The Filled Processing Form need to be authenticated, notarized and endorsed at the Ministry of Justice. 2. The Account need to be properlly legalized at the Ministry of Justice so that it can have legal ground for us to freely transfer the fund into your account since it was deposited in a suspense bequest account. 3. An Approval Order need to be procurred frm the Finance Ministry since any fund leaving the shores of this country, must be approved by the Finance Ministry. 4. Fund Transfer Allocation Order need to be obtained from the Finance Ministry. Bear in mind that to carryout these operations shall cost you the total sum of USD4,560 (Four Thousand, Five Hundred & Sixty United States Dollars). Basically, we could have deducted from source, but the nature of the deposit made it very difficult for us to do that, hence you are to wire the fund directly to the attorney assigned to represent you in this task through Western Union Money Transfer, thus: RECEIVER'S NAME: BENJAMIN IBEH ADDRESS: ABIDJAN - COTE D'IVOIRE You are to send this money immediately so that we can be able to obtain these documents, meet up with the transfer date and your fund finally credited into your bank account without further delay. Your swift response is being anticipated. Yours faithfully, Dr. Fredrick Adams
[I decide to contact Fred and request a hotel room because I'm flying down. I CC the email to West Interbanking as well] From: Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Fred! Shivers is back to pass on ye message that I want to come down to Abidjan in person to pay ye processing fees. I will need yehotel for one night, so please do yer old shipmate Shiver's the courtesy of booking a hotel room for a single night. Old Shiver's will pay ye the hotel fee when I arrive. I see you have ye old Sofitel Hotel in Abidjan. Please note that yer old mate Shivers wants to stay there. I'll arrange ye flight details so that ye know what date to book ye old hotel for me. See if ye can fix it so that yer shipmate can bring me parrot Jim'lad. Man overboard! Shiver Metimbers.
[Mr. Adams from the bank is the first to reply] Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 05:37:48 -0500 From Dr. Fredrick Adams
Date: 17th September, 2003 Sir, Acknowledging the receipt of your mail. You are welcome as we will be very happy to welcome you at the airport. But you have to bear in mind that your coming to the Ivory Coast to pay the money in cash is very much ok as that will even give you more opportunity and chance to see everything clearly for yourself. Furthermore, we will like to give you a suggestion and it is upto you to take a decision: 1. Your coming to the Ivory Coast is certainly no problem. 2. Your time will be involved till the transaction is concluded. 3. The Hotel fares might be much for you to bear. 4. The Air fares you will incur etc. On our own part, we are suggestion you send the money earlier requested to us through Western Union Money Transfer through the name earlier given to you and save yourself the above as all you need do is sit back in the UK and watch your fund being transferred into your nominated bank account. [Kiss my ass Mr. Adams!] We shall be waiting for your response as if you don't accept our suggestions, there is no problem as we shall wait for the flight schedule. Sincerely, Dr. Fredrick Adams
From: Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Mr. Adams, Thank ye for ye email, it is read and understood. I still would prefer to come down to meet with ye in person. Please signal ye acceptance to book me in for ONE night at ye Sofitel Hotel and I will then send ye my flight booking receipt and dates. I am flying to Nairobi later this month anyway, so visiting ye will not be a problem. Once I meet with ye, I will reimburse ye for the hotel fee. This is my offer, ye may take it or leave it, ya land lubber! Man overboard! Mr. Shiver Metimbers.
Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 14:34:05 -0500 From Dr. Fredrick Adams
[I tell the bank that the deal is off....] From: Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Mr. Adams, In that case m'lad, please consider this deal at an end. I will alert my contact that that old Shivers will no longer continue with ye deal. Man overboard! Shiver Metimbers.
[And also give Fred Bangoh the bad news...] From: Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Fred! Sad to say that even though the bank expects Metimbers to hand over more than Four Thousand Dollars, they will not do me ye courtesy of booking a hotel of me choice for a SINGLE night. Because of this I am ending ye partnership. Shivers wishes you good luck on finding another shipmate. Man overboard! Shiver Metimbers.
[Fred is upset] Date: Wed, 17 Sep 2003 13:13:47 -0700 (PDT) Dear Shiver Metimbers,
From: Shiver Metimbers Ahoy Fred. Sorry me old shipmate, but because of the greed of your banking contacts I cannot help ye any more. I advise ye take the cat-o-nine-tails to their scrawny backs! Shiver Metimbers.
Alas, that is all I have so far. Fred hasn't got back to me yet!
