&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Nice to see that a Nigerian email scammer &lt;A href=&quot;http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3081613a4560,00.html&quot;&gt;got own3d&lt;/A&gt;.

			<description>&lt;H2&gt;When It Rains It Pours&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I&apos;d been mulling over whether or not to start messing with &lt;A href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/2004/01/07.html#a470&quot;&gt;Dr. Dokpesi&apos;s&lt;/A&gt; head, when I got 3 more emails. It seems I&apos;ve won lotteries in both Spain and the Netherlands. I&apos;ve been contacted by both the Eagle Star Fortune Lotto in Madrid and the Platinum International Lottery in the Netherlands. Hey, between Dr. Dokpesi and this latest development, I&apos;d say my finances are well secure. Don&apos;t you think so?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;H2&gt;Another One&lt;/H2&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I knew that it had been too quiet for too long. Today I finally got another email from a Nigerian scam artist looking to work out all of the &quot;modalities&quot; of the situation:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;DR SHEUN DOKPESI.&lt;BR&gt;DIRECTOR OF ENGINEERING &amp;amp; PROJECT.&lt;BR&gt;NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION.&lt;BR&gt;FEDERAL SECRETARIAT,FALOMO- LAGOS.&lt;BR&gt;ALTERNATIVE EMAIL; &lt;a href=&quot;mailto:SHED11@123.COM&quot;&gt;SHED11@123.COM&lt;/a&gt;&lt;BR&gt;EFAX: 14134517626&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Please permit me to make your acquaintance in so informal a manner. This is necessitated by my urgent need to reach a dependable and trustworthy foreign partner. This request may seem strange and unsolicited but I crave your indulgence and pray that you take my request very serious.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I am the Director of Engineering &amp;amp; Project of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in Lagos, Nigeria. A contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer units, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance was executed on behalf of my Ministry (N.N.P.C), in the year 1999. This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign contractors at the tune of US$105,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost of US$90,800 000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$14.7M floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) to the benefits of we the three members of the contract award panel unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and inspected, now the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$14,700,000.00 into your private company account for mutual benefits.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;So if you are ready to compromise with me, I ask for your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable transfer of the difference (US$14.7M), this money will be moved to your custody. Contact me and furnish me with your comprehensive Bank information for us to progress, A bank account in any part of the world,a ZERO account balance would be welcomed, for your involvement, I will suggest that we share the money 80% for me and 20% for you. Please if this request interests you, do send me an email, as I will be sending you immediately I receive your positive response some classified documents, but if it does not interest you, please do treat with kindness, keep my secrets should you find this offer uninteresting.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information Your company&apos;s Name, Address, Phone/Fax number not forgetting also a bank account.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;My regards,&lt;BR&gt;Dr. Sheun Dokpesi.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Man, how can I possibly pass this opportunity up? Should I go ahead and lead Dr. Dokpesi on, and if I do, should I use the same characters that I used with my friend Johnson? Should I make new ones up? Come on, let me know. I know you&apos;re out there. Didn&apos;t your mom tell you not to leave that webcam on?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;H1&gt;More Nigerian Nonsense, Part 2&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;According to &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href=&quot;http://news.com.au/common/story_page/0,4057,8052036^13762,00.html&quot;&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;News.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;, at least three Nigerian diplomats in line for top ambassadorial posts failed the simple test of remembering how to sing the west African country&apos;s anthem, or reciting its pledge, parliamentary officials said.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;However they do know about some funds they need help transfering.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<title>Goodbye Johnson</title>
			<link>http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/categories/nigerianEmailBuddies/2003/11/10.html#a417</link>
			<description>&lt;H1&gt;Goodbye Johnson&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;As they say, &quot;all good things must come to an end.&quot; And some bad things too. It was time for me to end my email &lt;EM&gt;relationship&lt;/EM&gt; with my &lt;EM&gt;friend&lt;/EM&gt; Johnson. I&apos;d like to say he took things well but, alas, I&apos;m afraid he was extremely disappointed. The day started with Johnson, apparently worried about the deal, complaining to Mr. Bawls:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;MY DEAR FRIEND,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;HOW ARE YOU TODAY? YOU SERIOUSLY FRUSTRATING AND DELAYING THIS TRANSACTION,IF YOU ARE NO LONGER READY TO WORK WITH ME PLEASE INDICATE INSTEAD OF KEEPING MUTE.WHY SHOULD YOU BE SO HEARTLESS,AFTER ALL WE SPENT IN THIS TRANSACTION YOU DO NOT WANT TO CALL ME,YOU DO NOT WANT TO RELEASE YOUR TEL NUMBERS TO ME,I WANDER IF YOU KNOW THE DEGREE OF PAINS YOU ARE CAUSING THIS TRANSACTION,BY NOW I SUPPOSE TO BE WITH YOU IF ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO DO BUSINESS,SO REACH AND INDICATE YOUR WILLINGNESS TO DO BUSINESS WITH ME.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;JOHNSON&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Johnson was in for the shock of his life when he received this email back from Mr. Bawls&apos; greedy, and apparently &lt;EM&gt;homicidal&lt;/EM&gt;, lawyer:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;My name is Buster Hyman. I&apos;m sure Mr. Bawls has spoken to you about me. I will be handling this matter now and Mr. Bawls is out of the picture as is Ms. Abner. You see, they tried to cut me out of the deal, so I had to remove them. I took care of both of them in their bathtubs, photos are attached if you doubt me.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;The transaction will go forward as planned, except the money should now be transferred to the following account:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;1. Claude Bawls c/o Buster Hyman, Esq., his attorney in fact, 3 Abbey Road, London, UK 617&lt;BR&gt;2. Manufacturers Hanover Trust. Acct #203019 73335223&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Please take me very seriously or I&apos;ll blow the whistle to the bank on your whole deal. Besides, there are plenty of bathtubs in Nigeria. Upon your confirmation of these arrangements, the transfer taxes will be wired via Western Union. Use the same email as previously. My fax is 1(501)644-6791.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;B. Hyman&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;The pictures are &lt;A href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/images/My%20Pictures/susansfriend.jpg&quot;&gt;here&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A href=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/images/My%20Pictures/Lil%20Abner.jpg&quot;&gt;here&lt;/A&gt;. Maybe you don&apos;t want the kiddies to look though. Don&apos;t worry, they&apos;re not real. They&apos;re Photoshopped fakes. And no, neither one is me or my wife.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Johnson didn&apos;t take things too well. I was kind of hoping that he would see through the charade, given how over-the-top Mr. Hyman&apos;s response was. Anyway, Johnson emailed back in a most threatening manner:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;HELLO MR.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;HOW ARE YOU TODAY?I AM A STRAIGHT FORWARD PERSON IN EVERY DEAL I FIND MYSELF IN THIS LIFE,THAT I CONTACTED MR.BAWLS FOR THIS TRANSACTION DOES NOT MEAN I DO NOT HAVE THE FEAR OF GOD,BUT I BELIEVE THAT ONE SHOULD NOT EXPECT GOD TO COME OUT IN HUMAN PERSON TO ASSIST SOMEONE,RATHER IT IS LEFT FOR THE SPIRIT PERSON IN YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS KIND OF OPPORTUNITY ONLT COMES BUT ONCE IN A LIFE TIME,SO IF YOU HAVE ELIMINATED THESE TWO PERSONS IN ORDER TO INHERIT WHAT YOU WERE NEVER CONTACTED FOR,THEN WHAT IS THE POSSIBILITY THAT YOU WILL NOT DISAPPEAR WITH THE MONEY,WHEN IT GOES INTO YOUR ACCOUNT OR FIND A WAY TO IMPLICATE ME DOWN HERE,WELL ALL THAT I KNOW IS THAT MY FRIEND BAWLS IS STILL ALIVE AND I WILL NOT DIVERT THE CLAIMS TO A GREEDY PERSON OF YOUR TYPE,INSTEAD DO YOUR WORSE,MIND YOU I AM NOT A CHILD OF CHANCE,I HAVE THAT POWER WHICH IS GREATER THAN THE LITTLE EVIL SPIRIT IN YOU.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;MAY GOD FORGIVE YOU OF YOUR EVIL ACT.SAY ME HI TO BAWLS.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;JOHNSON&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Why the hell does he start out with &quot;HOW ARE YOU TODAY?&quot; Maybe it&apos;s the only way he knows how to start a letter. Anyway, he must have thought his response was not strong enough, so he followed things up with this email:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;MIND YOU I HAVE BAWLS INT.PASSPORT,SO THE PICTURE IS VERY MUCH DIFFERENT FROM THE PERSON YOU KILLED AT THE BATHTOP,TELL ME THAT YOU COMMITED SUICIDE.LITTLE WISE THING.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;He obviously compared the photo of Mr. Bawls in the bathtub very closely with his passport. You&apos;ve got to give the guy credit, he should be on &lt;EM&gt;CSI&lt;/EM&gt;. Pretty testy, huh? Big talk. Anyway, given his negative attitude toward&amp;nbsp;our relationship,&amp;nbsp;I had no choice but to cut him loose. I sent him this:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;IMG src=&quot;http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/images/My%20Pictures/goodbyejohnson.gif&quot;&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Then, being the soft-hearted guy I am, I felt that I should help the guy out a little bit. So I sent him this invitation:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P align=center&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Invitation to the 3rd Nigerian 419 e-mail seminar &lt;BR&gt;(Sponsored by Western Union) &lt;BR&gt;To be held at The Sheraton, Lagos with teleconferencing through to The Sheraton, Amsterdam&lt;BR&gt;November 29&amp;nbsp;-- November 30, 2003&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;GREETINGS !!&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I COME TO YOU WITH A SINCERE HEART BELIEVING IN ALMIGHTY GOD THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER MY INVITATION AND COME TO HELP AND ALSO BENEFIT FROM ME.&lt;BR&gt;This letter might surprise you because we have not met neither in person nor by correspondence. But I believe it is one day that you get to know somebody either in physical or through correspondence. I got your contact through some discreet inquiry from the chamber of commerce and industry, you and your organization were revealed as being quite astute in private entrepreneurship, one has no doubt in your ability to handle a financial business transaction. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;All delegates are reminded that they should keep this matter highly reticent pending the actualization of the seminar. I would want you to contact me immediately so that we can proceed with the booking. You should please on reply enclose your private telephone, fax number so that we can have more confidential correspondence.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Subjects to be covered during the seminar:-&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;1 - THE CASE FOR ALL CAPS&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;This highly controversial subject has divided opinion amongst our delegates in previous years. Some, such as Basher Mobutu Sese-Seko, are firmly of the belief that using ALL UPPERCASE CHARACTERS lends a certain style to their message, whilst some of the more progressive delegates believe that this is a style that has now passed its sell-by date. There will be a 2 hour debate on the subject with delegates voting on the question after the discussion.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;2 - The effectiveness of Religious phrases&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;A recent survey has shown that 89% of previous delegates continue to scatter religious phrases and references to God throughout their correspondence. There will be an open-forum discussion on the subject led by &apos;Deacon&apos; John Osa of Dove Ministry Inc. All delegates will receive a 14 page booklet containing the most frequently used psalms.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;3 - &apos;Modalities&apos;&amp;nbsp;-- Is it time to stop using this phrase?&lt;/STRONG&gt; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;If previous seminars are anything to go on this will be one of the most hotly debated topics. Champions of the phrase continue to argue that it is part of our scamming heritage whilst some of our younger delegates reason that, outside of our own circle, it is a totally unknown term.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;4 - How to make those grammatical errors REALLY WORK for you&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;An in-depth workshop session led by a number of our leading barristers. On completion of the session delegates will be able to master the most excruciating grammatical savaging of the English language. This haves been won of the most poppular seshons in preevyas seminarse --arryve urly two a voyde dis appoyntmeant.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;5 - Try to be creative with your story&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;One of Nigeria&apos;s leading psychologists explores and analyses the success rate of various sales pitches including:- The expatriate dying in a tragic air-crash, leaving no known relatives, the Ministry of Petroleum official who has a fund of millions of dollars through deliberate over-invoicing of a project, the Zimbabwean / Sierra Leone orphans who tragically lost their highly popular father through gang murder.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Following the psychologist&apos;s analysis one of Nigeria&apos;s most creative authors will explore new scenarios that will have the Westerners begging to send us more money.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;6 - E-mail lists -- How to use and sell on&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Delegates will be given invaluable advice on how to buy lists of intended victims at the lowest cost, use them and sell them on at a profit.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;7 - Adobe Photoshop&amp;nbsp;-- The modern alternative to potato-print forged documents&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;A hands-on 2 hour tutorial covering the basics in Adobe Photoshop.

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Johnson&apos;s getting anxious and I&apos;ve decided to let him wait over the weekend until Mr. Hyman contacts him (you need time to dispose of the bodies after all):&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;H1&gt;Johnson Says Hello&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;My Nigerian pal Johnson dropped me a line today:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;MY DEAR FRIEND,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;HOW ARE YOU TODAY?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<link>http://radio.weblogs.com/0115787/categories/nigerianEmailBuddies/2003/11/05.html#a409</link>
			<description>&lt;H1&gt;I&apos;ve Been Thinking . . .&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;. . . about how I&apos;m going to end this little dance with my Nigerian scam artist Johnson. I&apos;m getting bored with this. Judging by the number of comments I&apos;m getting (if anybody is even reading this) the public at large must be bored too. Anyway, here&apos;s today&apos;s latest:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;&amp;gt; MY DEAR FRIEND,&lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; HOW ARE YOU TODAY?I BELIEVE YOU MUST HAVE BEEN BACK ON YOUR FEET BY NOW?GLORY &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; BE TO GOD.I DID WAITED FOR YOUR CALL,WELL SINCE I DID NOT HEAR FROM YOU,I HOPE &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; EVERTHING IS ALRIGHYT?&lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; I WILL BE WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; REMAIN BLESSED.&lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; &lt;BR&gt;&amp;gt; JOHNSON.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;And my response:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Dear Johnson&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Well I&apos;m back in the land of the living. Surprisingly I don&apos;t feel too bad - just left with some bruising.&amp;nbsp; The doctors were worried about my concussion - that&apos;s why they kept me in. It&apos;s only in this small village&amp;nbsp; that an accident like that could happen - not many people come across ponies and traps in larger towns&amp;nbsp; and cities. I must say I didn&apos;t realize what was happening until my leg got pulled from under me as the&amp;nbsp; rein caught it. Then I was dragged quite a way along the road until the pony eventually came to a halt.&amp;nbsp; It could have been a lot worse so I&apos;m grateful that there was no other traffic around that I could have&amp;nbsp; been dragged into. Anyway as you can guess I wasn&apos;t able to make the Western Union office on Tuesday so I&apos;m going to&amp;nbsp; go later this afternoon just before it closes. I&apos;ll send you the details afterwards. Thanks for your good wishes.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;C. Bawls&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P dir=ltr&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana size=2&gt;Well, here&apos;s what I figure I&apos;m going to do. It doesn&apos;t seem that these guys read the emails too closely. I&apos;m going to see just how much attention they&apos;re paying. It&apos;s time to bring Mr. Bawls&apos; greedy lawyer, Buster Hyman, Esq. into the picture. Now, it&apos;s going to become obvious to Johnson that he&apos;s not getting &lt;EM&gt;his money &lt;/EM&gt;wired to Benin tomorrow. I think I&apos;ll let him stew a day or so and email Mr. Bawls trying to find out what happened. Then I&apos;ll inject Mr. Hyman into the equation, claiming that he &lt;EM&gt;eliminated&lt;/EM&gt; Mr. Bawls and Ms. Abner from the picture.&lt;EM&gt; &lt;/EM&gt;That&apos;s &lt;EM&gt;eliminated with extreme prejudice. &lt;/EM&gt;Maybe Mr. Hyman will even send Johnson some pictures (Photoshopped of course) as &lt;EM&gt;proof. &lt;/EM&gt;Then we&apos;ll have Mr. Hyman demand that the money be wired &lt;EM&gt;to him, &lt;/EM&gt;or he&apos;ll blow the whistle on the whole deal.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P dir=ltr&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana size=2&gt;Sweet. Let&apos;s see if Johnson goes for it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

			<description>&lt;H1&gt;Meanwhile, Back At The Scam...&lt;/H1&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I had left off last week by telling Johnson&apos;s partner&amp;nbsp;that I was going off to &quot;entertain&quot; a client a the local watering hole:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Dear Ibrahim,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Thanks for your e-mail.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Unfortunately today I have to entertain an important client of mine and that will be during most of the day. (He is very fond of the local ale at our pub, The Three Feathers, so I can see me spending a long lunch with him there.)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;So I won&apos;t be able to do anything about the transfer by Western Union until Monday morning as the nearest office of WU is about half an hour from here.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Please confirm before then that the details I have are correct:-&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I fully anticipate that I will have transferred the $13,300 to you by 10.00am on Monday. I have never dealt with Western Union before; does it take long for the transfer?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Please confirm that the above details are correct before Friday morning.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Regards&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;C. Bawls&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;They&apos;re getting pretty anxious about me &quot;settling up&quot; the charges in quick fashion:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Dear Sir,&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;The Account information below is very correct,so use it to effect the &lt;BR&gt;payment.It is not a Western Union information,rather it is an account &lt;BR&gt;number,it is safe,so go on and use it.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;The $13,300usd will only take 2-3 days to clear,in that case once it is paid &lt;BR&gt;on Monday,your account will be credited on or before Friday,7th &lt;BR&gt;November,2003.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I still want to let you know that 48 hours after the $13,300usd confirmation &lt;BR&gt;slip has been received and clared,still holds for&amp;nbsp; your account to be &lt;BR&gt;credited through TTF.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Damn, is he annoying with that caps lock or what? Anyway, I have other plans. It&apos;s time to bring my assistant into the picture:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style=&quot;MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px&quot;&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Dear Mr Ibrahim:&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I&apos;m Mr Bawls&apos; office manager. I&apos;m sorry I don&apos;t know what you are referring to so you will have to wait until Mr Bawls returns to the office.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Unfortunately Mr Bawls had an accident on Friday when returning from lunch with one of our clients and has been in hospital since then. &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;However, I am glad to tell you that he is expected to be released from hospital this afternoon, having made a good recovery.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;I am anticipating that he will be back in the office on Wednesday morning and will let him know that you have been enquiring after him.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Yours sincerely&lt;BR&gt;Lil Abner (Office Manager)&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;
&lt;P&gt;&lt;FONT face=Verdana,Geneva,Arial,Helvetica,Sans-Serif size=2&gt;Of course they are expecting the money on &lt;EM&gt;Tuesday&lt;/EM&gt; not Wednesday. Maybe they&apos;ll have to change banks again. Hehe. It&apos;s almost time.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt;
