(IT STARTS HERE WITH AN UNSOLICITED EMAIL FROM STEVEN RAPHAEL - MY RESPONSES TO HIM ARE IN RED, THE LETTERS FROM HIS FINANCIAL ADVISOR ARE IN GREEN AND MY RESPONSES TO THEM ARE BLUE)
FROM: STEVEN RAPHAEL
PHONE: +27-732405804
DEAR SIR/MADAM,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
You may be surprised to receive this letter from me since you do not know me
personally, the purpose of my introduction is that, I am STEVEN RAPHAEL, the
first son of MICHEAL RAPHAEL, who was recently murdered in the land dispute
in Zimbabwe. I got your contact from South African Information Exchange Johannesburg
in my search for reliable individual or company to assist me on transfer business
transaction.
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the
sum of US $25Million(twenty five million United States Dollars), in one the
private security company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This
money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from Security
Company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals
for the farms and established of new farm in Swaziland.
This land problem came when Zimbabwean President Mr. Robert Mugabe introduce
a new Land Act reform which wholly affected the rich white farmers and some
few
blacks farmers.And this resulted to the killing and mob action by Zimbabwean
war veterans and some lunatics in the society. In fact, a lot of people were
killed because of this land reformed Act for which my father was one of the
victim. It is against this background that, I and my family who are currently
staying in South Africa decided to
transfer my father’s money to foreign account since the law of South Africa
prohibit a refugee (asylum seeker) to open any bank account or to be involved
in any financial transaction throughout the teritorial zone of South Africa.
As the eldest son of my father, I
am saddle with the responsibility of seeking a genuine foreign account where
this money could be transferred without the knowledge of my government who are
bent on taking everything we have got. The South African government seems to
be playing along
with them. I am faced with the dilemma of investing this amount of money in
South Africa for fear of going through the same experience in future since both
countries have similar political history. Moreover, the South African Foreign
Exchange policy
does not allow such investment for an asylum seeker.
As a reliable person, who I have to entrust my future and of my family in his
hands, I must let you know that this transaction is risk free. If you accept
to assist me and my family all I want you to do for me is to make arrangements
and come to Johannesburg – South Africa, so that you can open a non-resident
account which will aid us in
transferring the money into any account you will nominate overseas. This money
I intend to use for investment.
I have two options for you, firstly you can choose to have certain percentage
of the money for nominating your account for this transaction.Or you can go
into partnership with me for the proper profitable investment of the money in
your country. Whichever the options you want, feel free to notify me I have
also mapped out 5% of this money for all
kinds of expenses incurred in the process of this transaction. If you do not
prefer a partnership I am willing to give you 20% of the money while the remaining
75% will be for my family's investment in your country.
Contact me with the above E-mail or Telephone number while I implore you to
maintain the absolute secrecy required in this transaction.
Yours Faithfully,
STEVEN RAPHAEL
(For the Family)
THE LEAST I CAN DO IS REPLY
Dear Steven
Thank you for the opportunity to assist you in your proposed plan. Unfortunately
I have already agreed to help another poor individual who has also suffered
at the hands of Robert Mugabe's land reforms.
I'm afraid I do not have unlimited funds and although your offer is very kind
I must await receipt of the other funds before I can consider any further negotiations.
Yours sincerely and in the name of Jesus

Thanks for your interested respond. Now i have understood your written as you
informed me that you have another person whom you have been working with regarding
this offer we sent to you asking for your kind assistance to see my family through
from this our critical situation.
Furthermore, it is true that you have been working with the people who have
the same semilar problem like my family, but my Sister one thing i will like
you to understand in this respect is that we don't know you before, if not because
after the fasting i made with my mother, asking God to show us who will be of
assistance in this our condition, that is how we were directed to go through
internet and sarch for it , that we are going to get people' email address,
so amoung the emails, we should select about tow and pray for about three days,
after then he will review to us the particular one to use. So my sister, this
is how yours was chosen, of which i know that God cannot tell lair.
So with this reason, i believe that before such will occur to chose you, there
is every tendency that God who directed us to you, will never disappoint us
to still been in this very condition, as he says that heaven and earth will
pass away, but none of his words will go avial. Now with this my explanations
and reasons, if you later disappoint us, then i will know that God want us to
died in this situation, of which i know he will not.
Finally, kindly while getting back to us, endeavour to furinsh us with your
private phone and fax number for easily communication and also to maintain the
srictly confidentiality of this transaction. Incase if you want to reach us
and ask any question you may deems necessary to know, plz use +27-73240-5804.
Immediately i recieve your urgent response indicating your williness, i will
than detail you on how this transaction will be carried on and the area my family
will need your assistance mostly for the release of this consignment immeditealy
to you on our behalf as we are still with all the proofing document.
How is family together with your business?, hope fine.
Awaiting for your urgent response as soon as you recieve this mail for more
information.
Thanks and remain bless, till then.
May God bless you in all your life encounters, Amen.

From Steven Raphael.
Thanks for you’re interested respond immediately, it’s really show me that God is not lairing to me after our fasting and prayer.
Now I have had all you what said concerning that you are about to finalize the similar business like ours. But my Dear to be frank now, as God have directed us to you for an assistance and the only expenses that this transaction will cost is just about the sum of (U$6.000.00) for the release of this consignment, on our behalf immediately you arrive in South Africa.
My family will then present you to the Security Company for the release of the Consignment on our behalf, proving that we have empowered the full right as our foreign beneficiary. The reason is that the law in South Africa prohibited as we are still under the umbrella of Asylum Status, we are not allowed to transact in any business, until we could secure foreign partner, which according to God happens to be you.
More so, to prove my family that we really want to be of assistance to see the successful end of your previous transaction as I envisaged that according to your writing, that this might need more fund to be finalized, so yesterday after your email was received, I phoned my financial adviser to call a meeting with the Security Company where this consignment box is been deposited. Then when the meeting was going on, I stood up and inform them that we have finally secured foreign partner, so in this respect, my purpose of calling this meeting, is to just to inform you that we are about to retrieve our consignment. And their respond was that a notice of (48hrs) has be giving to them before collection.
Furthermore, according to what they told me when we were on the meeting, just by the time I inform them that my partner has a similar person whom she has been assisting. Base on this matter and how urgency it is due to the fact that we are about to bit up paying the next month storage charges, then a promise was made that if I could waylaid to them that we will maintain our word for the actually date of the collection agreed, the consignment will be released for us immediately your arrived.
Finally, I understood all what you told us, but we are still pleading for you just to travel down here immediately for the collection, so as to assist you as we agreed.
May God bless you in all your life encounters, Amen.
Waiting for your urgent response as soon as you receive this email.

dear steven
i thought i'd made myself clear when i explained to you that i could not help
you until my other business was finished. the other sad party who lost his land
to mugabe only wants $2,000 from me but yet you inform me that it will cost
me $6,000. This makes no sense. I feel you are perhaps taking advantage of my
good nature. I will only consider business proposals at the beginning of certainly
no more that $3,000. Given then that things may be successfull i will then consider
with hindsight whether investing more money would have been a good idea and
that i was rather foolish to miss the opportunities presented to me by your
goodself.

From Steven Raphael
Well in any situation, we must always give thanks to our Amightly God, who made
it possible for us to see the next day. Also i believe that he will never disappoint
whoever that will seek for his assistnce and protection in all our ways.
Now, it seems to me that yu did not fully understood my writing partaining telling
you that this is the only amount that we are still owning the security company
for the release of this consignment to us, to assist you to finalised the on
going business you have at hand as we know that you might have need enough fund
to actualise it.
Furthermore, incase if you did not understand me well, kindly bear it in mind
that i am not telling you to bring this above mentioned sum alone, becuase i
also presented this matter to our financail adviser to assist for the completion,
of which according to the out come of my meeting with him together with the
security company yesterady, when we are telling the security company that we
have finally secure foriegn partner who will assist for the release of it, it
was then he promise to bring the sum of (U$3.800.00), so the remaining is our
problem now.
Finally, this is the reason why i sent you sms yesterday after the meeting inother
to inform you how far we have gone. kindly advice me, becuase according the
idea my financial Adviser bring after the meeting when he speak with one of
his close pal, who is a bank manager in (ABASA BANK), asking him how possible
it will be to transfer this fund directly into your account immediately this
consignment is release from the security house, without you been present here
in south Africa.
He said that it will be possible by the means of internet banking with one of
their eurpeain overseas bank, if we are sure that you will not disappoint my
family as soon as this fund is comfairm in your account for the withdrawer.
So my dear, kindly assist us for the completion of the remaining balance inother
to instruct my family adviser to speak with that his bank pal to detail you
how this transfer could be made immediately as he promise that it will on take
3 woking days to entere your account.
How is life together with your family as well as business?, hope fine.
Awaiting for your urgent response immediately becuase time is no longer in our

From Ima Daft
dear steven
give thanks to the lord indeed. i'm happy that you have now seen that i can't
invest $3,800 when my maximum funds available for this type of investment are
only $3,000. i have not yet finalized business with my contact ivanov.
when he has sent the money he promised to me then i can let you have the assistance
you require.
it has also been mentioned to me that perhaps you are not who you say you are
and that you should provide me with some proof of identity. there are a lot
of business deals that without careful consideration on the part of the investor
are not what they appear to be. i am wary of entering into an arrangement without
being in full details of all the very interesting facts.
i will pray to the lord to guide me in this dilemma and whatever he decides
i will then agree to abide with him. he is the protector of the poor unable
to make their decisions alone.
how do you wish to proceed, as i'm not in the position to dispense with the
necessary funds for your immediate use you may perhaps want to dispense with
the assistance i've offered and seek alternative help. i can't operate on the
fastness you wish due to awaiting for previous business deal to close.
i am although very happy that the lord has pointed you in my direction and hope
that your patience and my preserverance can serve a high purpose for the disclosing
of the deal.
god bless you and your family in the name of all that is holy and just and true.

From Ima Daft
dear steven
thank you for the official looking documents you have sent to me for my perusal.
this is very kind of you. i still am not sure that you are who you say you are.
i have been advised to proceed very carefully. my current business partner ivanov
has sent me his photo holding a very personal message to me. i think i would
like you to do likewise and then i can be sure that god is true to me and not
offering me to the lions.
if you could possibly send me a photo with you holding a card that says my name
Ima Daft clearly on it then I will then know that you are an honest person.
i have instructed my bank to release my funds but they don't know where to do
that. how much money are you after again. i can only afford (at present) $3000
but it would be better for you and me if the amount you need was less than that
say $2000. i have access to around about $65000 dollars but not for a couple
of fortnights. do you want my bank details? i need to know whether you want
dollars or rands?
as i stated previously i am awaiting monies from my current partner ivanov.
he is putting the money in my account very soon.
what do you want from me, what do i get from you. i am assured by god that helping
you is the right thing to do but please rest assured that i am assured by the
assurances you will assure to me when you send me your assurance by secret photo
with my name.
i am glad that we are proceeding and i will ask for the funds to be put into
an emergency clearance topographic fund for immediate dispatch by courier to
you on receipt of you promised assurances.
blessed be the patient ones

i hope life is well for you in the refugee camp and that you are not too uncomfortable.
do they keep you behind bars? its just that in your picture you look like you
are in prison (what are those bars). i hope you are not in prison steven - that
would upset me very much. perhaps you need my church's assistance to gain freedom?

To be frank, i don't know eaxctly how to show my appreciation towards your concern
to be of assistance to redeem my family out from this critical situation, of
which if i were
to say i will deems it that it might be just the way God want to fashion it.
Now, like as you have mantioned, that i should relive your mind from be in suspense,
based on my picture sent to you as reqards to the bar you saw behind my photo,
whether i am in prison. Momy, God is still in control we are fine, only that
we are in dilliama on how to offset the outstanding storage chargse in the Security
Company, of which according to your email send to us, your promise to contact
our financial adviser for the settlement as soon as possible.
So endaevoure to reach him inother not to accumulate another charges for next
coming month, becuase now that we have informed the Security Company that we
shall come for the collection, they will only give us just about two weeks grace
starting the very first date we notified them of our collection, of which if
we fail to comply on that date, the dumurrage charges will starting accumulating
again.
Finally i will always wish you good luck in all your life endavoures, and also
hoping to meet you with my family very soon immediately this incoming fund hit
your account, so that we can sit down and plan how and where to invset for the
future profit for the two families.

My dear son
This is your first email to me. I would like to know how you are going to get
this box of germ stones out of the security company. How much are the charges
for demurrage?
_____________________________________________________________
Before the death of my father, he had taken me to Johannesburg to deposit the
sum of US $25Million(twenty five million United States Dollars), in one the
private security company, as if he foresaw the looming danger in Zimbabwe.This
money was deposited in a box as germ stones to avoid much demurrage from Security
Company.This amount was meant for the purchase of new machines and chemicals
for the farms and established of new farm in Swaziland.
_____________________________________________________________
If not need assistance, I know a church in capetown where
the father there would be prepared to help you. He has a landrover and could
drive to Johannesburg and help you collect your box.
As I explained in my previous email I am waiting for some money from another
individual that I have helped and with this money I could easily pay another
month's demurrage charges for you, because now, i fear, we will not succeed
before I take my travel to the orphans of bulgaria.
I will contact your financial advisor on my return and by that time i'm sure
i will have received the money from ivanov. I have already paid him $4,000 to
free his funds and he has promised that my share of his money will be paid to
me soon.
dear son, i would not want to see you suffer and i pray for you every day. i
confirm that you have not provided me with your financial advisor's details
so how can i contact him. i need to know his contact details and the contact
details from his friend at the ABASA bank.
hurry my son and i will contact him today before embarking on my trip tomorrow.

i hope this finds you well. you sound terribly paranoid to me. i know father

he might cheat you out of your germ stones is unimaginable. anyway i'm finding
your paranoia a bit catching. how do i know this mr william madiba. he may be
trying to cheat you. but as you can see in my email to him (which you were copied)
i have given him a good stern warning.
i also get the idea that you are becoming a tad impatient with me and it appears
that you may not be after my friendship after all but just access to my money.
i will have to pray long and hard for guidance on how to proceed.

Thanks very much for your mail, and kind of advice, to
make sure that Raphael was not cheated in this money.
I am glad to inform you that this transaction will
take less time than expected if you continue to speed
your communication with my office.
Well, I will start by letting you know that, God who
sees the heart of every man, knows who is good or bad.
And my bible let me to know that, it by their fruit we
shall know them, Infact I don’t have to prolong my
speech, because all you have know is that I am good
family friend with Raphael father before he died and I
have been taking good care of the family since they
arrive in south Africa.
If you can ask Raphael, he will confirm that for you,
even I have paying some of the monthly storage charges
at the security company where their consignment was
deposited.
Coming to your question, on how you will assist for
the removal of the consignment in the security
company, what we needed from you the remaining
($3,000.00) Three Thousand United State Of American
Dollars which I will add to the one I am having at
hand to complete the out standing balance of the
storage charges in the security company for the
release of the consignment before we can start the
onward transfer to your nominated overseas account.
I will send you the account where you will pay in the
$3,000.00) as soon as I receive respond to this my
mail, and we proceed immediately for the transfer to
the account which you have to provide.
Awaiting your speed communication.

dear mr madiba
in god we trust (or at least i do). i've been
praying hard about this situation and on receiving
your email i am even more confused. you state that
you don't have to prolong your speech and that i am
just to believe you. well, mr madiba i can't just
believe that you would be such a good friend to
steven and leave him behind bars in a refugee camp
when you are languishing in sun city. this does not
appear to me to be the christian thing to do.
strictly confidential between us i am concerned
about steven's health he sounds a bit mentally ill
and suffering from acute paranoia. he tries to
assure me that all is well but i can see from his
photo that he is actually in prison and looks very
depressed. you as a friend of the family can
confirm that he has suffered from any mental
illness.
the fact that he won't trust anyone but you is
essentially very disturbing and then he meets me
through praying. i feel those are the actions of a
distinctly paranoid and neurotic schitzo.
I am eager to help this poor soul. tell me what you
want me to do. how do you want your money. i may
not have time to get to the bank today.
as explained i will soon be away and we may have to
wait until i return.

AT LAST...............
To Steve
From Ima Daft
dearest steven my son
i'm back from a most exhausting trip in the backlands of darkest bulgaria, they
have some absolutely splendid giraffes there - some of them are treated appallingly.
i have so much news for you. firstly and i know you will understand i have been
off galavanting and having a wonderful time so emailling you just wasn't an
option - i really couldn't be bothered. but now that i am back i will devote
all my attentions to settling your disturbed state of mind.
who is this elohim you mention - is he a new friend or another money advisor.
I haven't heard much from mr mabida lately. I have been having some thoughts
about him and they are not good. I worry about you trusting him as you do.
another thing that troubles me is that you are not yet in receipt of you germ
stones. this i hope to soon rectify this and reunite you with your precious
germs so do not worry any longer momy is back. i have just a sneaking question
that you maybe are into germ warfare - please confirm with me that this is not
the case.
laterz son
sister momy ima
Attn:sister momy ima.
From Steven
Momy, i really don't know exactly how to express my gratitude to hear that your
trip was so much successful, but the only one i will give thanks is God who
protect and lead you throughout your stay in bulgaria.
More so, like as you have just ask me to explain who is Elohim, frankly speaking,
according what my late father, he told me when he was still alive that Elohim
is God. So kindly go to the bible and find out.
Furthermore, coming to Mr. Madiba, we happens to know him by our late lovely
father who usually tell us that this man is his closest good friend, when i
was 18 yrs this man visited us in our counrty, and since the late of our father
immediately we rund down to South Africa to seek for an asylum status, he has
been trying his possible best to be in good terms with us, so kindly feel free
with him. Please momy, i will equally be more happy if you could mail him as
soon as you recieve this email to ask him how far he has gone regarding this
transaction, although definetly i will still inform him later today that you
have return back from your trip.
Finally, all every arrangment on how to carry out this project have to handed
over to him awaiting for your co-operation to actualized our dream to transfer
this fund to your account. The reason why my father declare this consignment
as a germ stone by the time he deposited this box to the security company was
just to code it in other not to alart the eyez of the security firm for much
dumorrage charges. So momy, this is not really germ stone, is it money and he
equally did it for the security reasons from my government as you may be fully
away that our president is not a good man as he not God fearing human beign.
Thanks and remain bless in all your life encounters, Amen.
MR. STEVE RAPHAEL.

To Steven
From Ima Daft
dear steven
i'm glad that you are so trusting in mr mabida. i will await for him to contact
me with details of how much money he wants me to fork out for your little transaction.
although you must understand that after my trip to bulgaria my funds have been
greatly reduced. i am still awaiting for my first contact to provide me with
the money he promised me and now i am beginning to wonder if i have been duped.
i am anxious that i do not want to be duped again because i will become very
depressed and also very poor but i'm sure my dear son that you couldn't possibly
be so cruel as to try and con me out of my money. i have been warned about a
scam called 419 and need your reassurance in the name of god that you are not
part of this.
please let me have your encouragement in truth as soon as possible.
your ever loving mother

Steven told me that you are back from Bugeria, how was
your trip? I hope evry thing went well as planned.
Glory be to God who made every thing posible and bring
you back home saftly.
I am writing to inform you on the present situation
regarding to this transaction as you are asking.
Attached below is the acknowladgement recipt from the
security company that stated the amount we are paying
for the monthly storage charges, and right now we are
only Owning for two month. if you are willing to help,
then let join hand together to balance up this bill in
the security company, and close the contract with them
to have this consignment released to us before we can
start making the transfer to your nominated account.
Awaiting your quick response

(JUST TO MAKE HIM
THINK I'M A BIT THICK - I'VE ANSWERED BELOW WITH HORROR AT BEING ASKED TO PAY
$41,000 - WHAT AN OFFICIAL LOOKING DOCUMENT)
To: Mr Mabida & Steven Raphael
From: Ima Daft
Dear Steven and Mr Mabida
I have received your notice with interest. I do not have $41,000 to give you how can you possibly imagine that i could afford to send you that much money. I only have $2,500 - I know that is a little less than I'd previously stated but I have just come back from holiday and enjoying myself.
I have just one question for you both but mainly you Steven. How come your signature is different on the deposit form that the one on your asylum permit that you emailed me at the beginning of our correspondence. These signatures are completely different and could not possibly have come from the same person (but no doubt I'm sure you will have a perfectly reasonable explanation for this). I'm sure my suspicions are becoming very frustrating for you but I am very wary of the deceipt decesending around me. I have not at any stage felt assured by your assurances that you are not attempting to swindle me.
I will be willing to send you my money on satisfactory explanations being provided by you and obviously on whether or not i believe them.
How do you want the money?
yours in anticipation of the assurances required
in the name of god and all that is truthful
ima
To Ima Daft
From Steven Raphael
Attn:Momy.
May the blessings of God be with your and as well as in all your life encounters/endeavores,
Amen.
Frankly speaking, what you said concerning defference signature is obviously
truth. But the reason was that the very first day it was ready to sent to you,
i took my mother to hospital for medical check up, becuase due to the fact that
we find it very difficult to secure foreign partner who will lead us out from
this critical situation, suddenly she developed H.B.P. of which i anticipated
that i told you about then if you could remember.
More so, due to my absency by then, my younger brother sunny was the person
who endorse it on my behalf for he family. Momy, the only assusrance i will
give to you is that you can never regret of knowing us in future and i will
never be a party to wicked you for your kind assistance, becuase i vehemently
understood why you are asking this question, inother not to regret all your
action.
Finally, coming to how to send this money to us, kindly email our financial
adviser to tell you how to do it, becuase like as i told you, that every necessary
arrangment on how to execute this transaction have been handed over to him.
Thanks and remain bless, hope to meet you soonest.
Awaiting for your quicker respond.
Mr. Steven Raphael,
for the family.
Dearest Momy.
How is life together other sisters around you?, Hope fine.
Please momy, did you recieve my email sent to you yesterday, regarding your
kind question?, becuase by now i antcipated that you might have respond back
to me so that i will know the next thing to do.
More so, do not forget to respond as soon as you recieve this mail because time
is no more on our side regarding this transaction. Have you contacted Mr. Madiba?,
please while getting back, kindly let me know.
Thanks and remain bless, till then.
MR. STEVEN RAPHAEL,

From Sister Ima
my dear steven
ok i am assured by your assurances of you explanation. i was going to the bank today to arrange transfer of the money but i haven't yet heard from mr mabida so it will have to wait now for next week. i am having a meeting with my financial advisor later and i will ask him how best to proceed. he has always given me good advice in the past although he was disappointed i haven't yet received any money from the last person i helped so he may try to disuade me from venturing into this again.
mr mabida is not very efficient i am disappointed that you have engaged such a slothful person. i would have thought he would be itching to get this deal underway but he has chosen not to respond to my email. although you both stress that this is urgent why is he not acting so.
yours in business, pleasure and christ
sister ima.
To: Ima Daft
From: Steven Raphael
Dearest Momy,
Your mail has been recieved, just few minus now. So all what you said is quite
well understood, but one thing i still want you to bear in mind is that all
my family hope soley depens on your kind assistance as you normally do before
ever since we started this transaction.
More so, meanwhile i am still disappointed from that your old formal business
partner whom you have kindly invested all your effort/money to assist, hoping
that by now they susposed to have respond positively, but only God will take
control for this your kind effort.
Furthermore, please do not take simply because of the way this so call UNGODLY
person treat you to change your life pertarn or deviate from your character,
becuase the only assurance i will continue given to you regardless of people
behavior to your effort to be of assistance, is that Almighty will never allowed
you to go empty handed from been generous to people in need.
Finally, like as you have just lamented about Mr. Madiba for not have written
or responding so quickly as expected, please kindly bear in mind that you are
not offering this assistance because of his sake, you are doing it for our own
favour. But meanwhile, i will later speak to him to email you immediately either
today or latest by tomorrow.
Thanks and remain bless, and give my regrads to that your kind finncial advisor,
i promise you that you will never regret of knowing us in future.
Awaiting for your quicker respond.

To Steven Raphael and Mr Madiba
From Sister Ima
dear mr madiba and steven
i will send you $2,000 for your storage charges but first i want to be assured
by your assurances that the money i will be receiving from you and you from
the security box (not germ stones) will be clean money. i want to be assured
by your assurances that the money will not be marked in any way and that i will
not have to buy cleaning chemicals from you to wash this money.
a friend of mine has told me that this is a trick used by unscrupulous people
to con more money out of their unsuspecting victims (not willing participants
in things like this like myself). i have said this is nonsense and that i already
have your assured assurances that you would not be taking part in any activity
like that.
mr mabida i will make the money by wire transfer as soon as i have your assured
assurances as mention/outlined above. can you also
please provide me with a secret.

Dearest Momy.
Thanks for your email. Momy frankly speaking, my own is real money which immediately
afer release from the Security Company as soon as we settle for this dumorrage/storage
charges accumulated, will automatically transferred to your overseas account,
becuase as soon as it is out from the security house, it will be paid in to
the South Africa Reserve Bank which will then channel it to the bank that will
make the transfer to your account as soon as possible.
More so, Momy, throughly speaking there is nothing like chemical or any other
thing in my money other than transfering it to your immediately this charges
is settled. Please kindly go ahead and email Mr. Madiba to advice you on how
to make the payment and feel free with me becuase i will vehemently not to be
a party to suport any bad thing that will befall on you, any thing any day.
Thanks and remain bless, till then.
Mr. Steven Raphael,
for the family.
To Steven Raphale
From Sister Ima
ok son I know you are honest and would never willingly participate in anything that would hurt me. i can feel your love and honesty in all your emails to me.
steven i must again reiterate my concerns regarding mr mabida. i need him to give me a secret and it pains me that he is not very quick off the mark and that he is delaying the situation by not responding to my emails very quickly. does he not have an office? does he not use his own computer? does he not care about you? or your family? trust me my son i want to get this deal over with quickly so that you may be free from that grotesque refugee camp.
i'm afraid my fellow sisters in the convent are worried about my state of mind. they think i am not in control of my faculties. but i can assure you that i have never felt better. my mother superior has threatened to have me sectioned under the mental health act and if that happens, son, then i fear i will no longer be in control of my fiances. they will give the power of my monies to our committee.
it is therefore imperative that i am able to pay you soon for i fear that i will be locked up as my increasing generous nature has given much cause for concern.
i trust you will be able to convince mr mabida that there is speed involved in this. i can send someone to the bank for $2000 but then i will go in person and pay by western union transfer but that will be sometime next week now. as mr mabida has not acted swiftly enough. how about i just make the western union transfer out to you and you can deal with it, i'm becoming more and more suspicious as i type this letter.
must go now as i feel the paranoia creeping in
yours in love and mental health

To Ima Daft

Dearest Momy.
Many thanks for your kind Parental Care as a lovely mother to be deeply touched
concering our situation in the refugee camp down here. But honest sepeaking,
kindly feel free to work with Mr Madiba as i have inform you exactly how we
know him from our late father of which i told you that when my father was alive,
he usally do visit us. So if he is not good to us, i anticipated that my late
father would have not introduce us/ instructed i and my mother to accepted him,
since he care for us.
More so, like as you email me to re-assure you that he is good person, momy,
go ahead and work with him on our behalf to actualised this transaction as soon
as possible please for God Sake.
Furthermore, coming to the issue of sending the money definetly by next week,
kindly do it either by the accounting information he told us that he have given
to you, or if it will stress you much, kindly email him so that he can alternatively
send you name to be used to make the payment be money garm, becuase western
union is not working here.
Finally, please while getting back to me, endeavore to send me your private
phone number to speak with you once more dear momy.
Kindly call it a day for now becuase i am about to go back the the refugee camp,
till tomorrow.

From: Sister Ima
dearest steven (I'M GETTING SICK OF THIS NOW AND TRY TO FORCE HIM TO END)
i am deeply touched that you are so worried about me, or is it just that you want my money?
Anyway i've been to send a Moneygram for $2000 and they will only let me send $899 as this is not enough money for you and i believe it will just be lost in the charges for demurrage there is not really any point in me sending you any money at all. I seem to be the one who is constantly doing the running around and i'm fed up with it now. I'm tired son and will no longer be around in this world. I realise now that my willingness to help you was born out of greed and I was looking forward to receiving your money. but after much praying the lord has shown me that this is BAD BAD BAD of me and that I was taking a path that he had not chosen for me. He sent you to test me and I now feel that I have journeyed along the road and reached the conclusion of my travels with god and your family. it would be wrong for me to help you, wrong for me to encourage you doing business with the incompetent mabida. you need to ask yourself what does the lord think of offering large amounts of money to little old ladies in return for a few thousand dollars of their life savings. he would think it was BAD BAD BAD.
Mr Mabida as i suspected is a very incompetent man, he has taken days to get back to me with a contact for the money and then you berate me for not getting back to you. I think you should look to someone a bit closer to home to criticise, after all i am the one doing the favours (well was doing the favours). I can't deal with incompetents and am frustrated to be told to pay in a way that won't accept my money.
your in a frustrated dodgy businesss arrangement

To Ima Daft
From Steven Raphael
Dearest Momy.
Momy many thanks for your email, not minding the tone of your response, which
uptil this moment put me and my mother here in the refugee camp in astonishment
for this your sudding word. Frankly speaking, i really don't know how to express
myself to convince you that i really cares for your welfare, after you have
kindly explained to me what you have been going through mentley, not only because
of you wanted to be of assistance to redeem my dear family from this our situation,
but as my fellow human beign.
More so, momy i also disappointed how you told me that you really anticipated
may be , that only what i am after is your money which is wrong, because if
i have intenssion of treating or betred you at the first place, i would have
send my picture to you. So i think i told you that the reason why i demanded
for this money from you, is just to complete the one we have at hand for the
completion for the release of this consignment, before it will be finaly transfered
to your account of you which you told me that you will only assist if i could
send my picture to you which i did to prove myself.
Furthermore, momy if you still want to be of assistance to send this money for
us for the completion of the one my financial adviser have at hand for the release
of this consignment, kindly let me know even if you said that you don't trust
mr madiba, i can look for someone whom i will use hisaccounting info information
to recieve the money and went to the security company by myself to pay the money
along with the one mr. madiba have at hand, so that definetly by next week,
the money will be transferred to your account for us to meet you in uk and sitdown
and plan where to invest this money our future.
Finally, momy please do not disappoint me at the end of this hour.
Thanks and remain bless, till then.
