Not so fast Joe.

I don't give out my personal telephone number that easily - it's bad enough when those plonkers from the double glazing companies keep ringing up just as you're about to sit down to a nice meal of lard pie, pork scratchings and fermented plum juice.

You can contact me via e-mail or on my fax which is (UK) xxxx-xxxxxx

Suggest that you give me a little more info about how to get our hands on the spondoolicks before you get my phone number.

Will I have to go across to Amsterdam? I've heard that it's a great place for lots of things (nudge, nudge, wink, wink - say no more!)

This deal looks better by the minute. The only concern I have is talking to a security company over there. What sort of records do they have? Do they have access to the Criminal Records Office in the UK? If so it may be a bit dodgy for me as I did some bird about 3 years ago for GBH and fraudulent conversion and they may not want to hand over the readies to me if they have me sussed.

However, since I got out I've gone straight(ish) and you should have no hesitation in trusting me to help you out in this little matter.

Let me know how the plan is going to come together.

Regards

J Master (Crusher)

Dear J Master,
Greeting,  
How is things with you, hope everything is fine if so thanks be to GOD. As regard to my request for your name and address with your telephone number it is important  that you send it because of the documents that  I shall be sending to you connecting with this transanction. first and foremost, I will be  sending to you if you bring your details a letter from a solicitor binding this transanction. Then latter The Certificate of Deposit. So my Dear Friend, you  can see why the information I requested for is very inportant Please try to provide it in your next e-mail, so that we can proceed further.You can also call me with this number 0031-613428347 so that we can discuss better.

Your prompt reply will be appreciated.

Thanks and GOD bless you

Mr Joseph Kyari.

21 April 2003
Dear Joe
You haven't answered my questions:-   
1-Will I have to go across to Amsterdam?
2-The security company over there. What sort of records do they have? Do they have access to the Criminal Records Office in the UK?
It's important that I have the answers to these questions before we go any further.

Regards

22 April 2003

Dear J Master,

Greetings,

The answers to your questions are as follows:

There are necessary documents that you must sign at the Security Company so, your presence will be required here in Amsterdam. You should remeber that you are now the beneficiary of this said funds if the necesarry documents has been transfered to you.so, it will be you that will be directly  involved in the management and transfer of the fund,so you see why your presence in Amsterdam will be needed.So my dear friend,you shall come to Amsterdam and together with me shall then proceed to the Security Company to clear the consignment.

The Security  Company is a limited liability company registered here in Holland otherwise I would not have dealt with them.They are not into investigation, so they can not be asking questions about you.The said consignment is  a trunk-box inside a diplomatic bag deposited at the schiphol airport here in Amsterdam.It is the documents that will clear this consignment that is with the Security Company. So, all that will be required of you will be to come here clear this trunk-box from the Security Company then lodge this money into your account in the U.K then we can proceed from there.Take note here that the Security Company does not know the actual contents in the trunk-box it is only me and my partners and  you.so you see why it is inportant that we keep this transanction secret.The amount inside is 15.5 millon dollas.So my dear friend, lets hurry up things to avoid demmurhage

Thanks and GOD bless

Mr Joseph Kyari

22 April 2003

Hi Joe

OK I'll take your word for it that it'll be OK to travel to Amsterdam.

When shall we meet. For me early next week would be best as I've got a few people that need sorting out here fairly sharpish.

Let me know.

23 April 2003

Dearest J Master,

Greetings.

Thanks for your e-mail.It appears that you have still not fully understood the true position of things. There are inportant things that needs to be done first so that your coming next week will be fruitful.they are as follows:

Your full name and address as it is in your travelling documents because your identification will be requested for by the Security Company when claiming the consignment.

There are important documents that  I must send to you regarding this transaction. There is Power of Attorney, prepared by a solicitor which will delegate power to you since you are now the partner to said consignment. So, its important I have your address as it should be written in documents. When you now agree to the terms and conditions in this power of attorney, then I shall send you change of ownership which will now transfer the necessary documents to your name.

After all these process, I will then direct you to the Security Company, who will now make an appointment with you as regards your coming to Amsterdam next week.

It is important that you hurry up things, so that we can meet up with your time next week.

Thanks and God bless you.

Mr. Joseph Kyari

Mr Joseph Kyari

24 April 2003  -  Power of Attorney & Change of Ownership docs faxed to me

24 Apr 2003
Joe
There's been a right cock-up!

I got the Change of Ownership form but the Power of Attorney form is made out to some geezer called Gregory Joseph English - who he?

Also the Change of Ownership form has me as J Master Chrusher.

My name is J Master. Crusher is a nickname my pals use - it's not my family name. Best get that amended at the same time as the new Power of Attorney form and re-fax otherwise there may be some hassle when I come to Amsterdam and I'm not into hassle at the moment.

Cheers

27 April 03
Hi Joe
There's something wrong with your lawyer's fax machine.
Everything comes through with big black lines down it and it's not readable- the security company won't accept these 2 documents in their present state.
Ask your lawyer to fax them again, possibly on a different fax.

Cheers

J Master

29 April 03
Dearest J Master
Greetings
What you have to do now is to resend your full names as it is in your documents because the lawyers are complaining that the J in your name should be written in full if  they must send it again with your full address to enable them reprepare another documents since the former is now non-avoid.
ESPECTING YOUR FULL DETAILS.

Sorry I've not been in touch but I was banged up by the police for a few days. They reckon I beat up this geezer and put him in hospital with multiple injuries.

Anyway they couldn't pin it on me so they had to let me go and he won't be giving evidence against me - if he knows what's good for him.

Well my friend how about this trip to Amsterdam - I could do with a break at the moment and also getting my hands on a few readies.

How about I come over Thursday or Friday this week and we'll sort everything out?

Cheers

12 May 2003

Dear J Master,
Greetings
Thanks for mail. The most important thing for now is for you to contact the security company by phone or e-mail so that they can tell you when to come, please try and contact them.Why are you hiding your phone number from me? and you dont want to call me?

PLEASE CALL

Thanks and GOD bless
Mr Joseph Kyari

12 May 2003

Joe
I've called the security firm 3 times now and all I get is some geezer jabbering away in Dutch - it does my head in.
Why don't we just arrange to meet in Amsterdam this week or next week and sort it out at the security company offices.
Cheers
Crusher

13 May 2003

Dearest J Master,
Greetings
I dont know what is happening here.I must remind you this:I am a very serious person with a good and profitable position in The Society, and I like dealing with serious people too.To me, it seems you are not the serious type beceause, why is it difficult for you to contact these people?This is what I and my friends have worked for all our lives and will not be willing to let it be jeopardised by one unserious man. So my friend, by tomorrow if you have still refused to contact the company either by phone or e-mail, I will have no other choice than to withdral your name from this transanction, and to look for  a more serious and responsible person.

Thanks and GOD bleess you

Mr Joseph Kyari

Mr Joseph Kyari

14 May 2003

Hi Joe
Their message below:-

You as the beneficiary would be required to pay the clearance charges.
This amounts to  €8,680: 00 (eight thousand, six hundred and eighty euro)

They say it's for clearance charges.
What's that all about?
J Master

15 May 2003

Dear J. Master
Greetings!
Thanks for your mail. My response is as follows:
First and foremost, you must know that, this trunk box was air-freighted into the Netherlands, you must know that there have to be some charges to pay regarding to clearance of this consignment.If the Global Security Company is requesting for that amount of money for clearance, they must have worked out the charges because of the staying of the consignment at the custom department.
As I told you before I and my partners have worked for this money  all our lives.So,you together with I and my other partners should take  this transanction very seriously in order as to see to the quick end of this transanction.However,all you have to do now is to come as quickly as posible, when the clearance is made,the said money you spent will immidiately be withdralled from the trunk-box before the money is transfered into your account.
Please try as must as possible to look for the money quickly  and make an appointment with them,so that we can end this thing quickly.
Note here that your name is already there as the new owner of the trunk-box.So, you must indicate your interest to me whether you are ready to continue at this stage or not so that I know what to do.

Thanks and GOD bless you

Mr Joseph Kyari

15 May 2003

€8,680 is a fair bit of dosh to get together quickly.
I can probably get it by Wednesday next week and come across to Amsrterdam on Thursday.
If that's OK with you let me know and I'll get back to the security company and give them flight times.

Cheers

We are sorry for the belated response.

Your appointment for thurseday 22 May 2003 has been confirmed for 14:00hrs (CET). We will send an official of the GSC to pick you up at the airport. So when you arrived go to "MEETING POINT" at the airport, its close to the Burger King. An official of the GSC will pick you from there to our office.

Regarding your request to send you our address, we don't normally do that due to the nature of this whole transaction. We hope you will understand and bear with us. You also requested us to send you a picture, that is not necessary, as we know how to pick our client. This shouldn't be any problem at all.

Dear Joseph

It’s important in life to learn from experience and one of the most important things that people generally learn at an early stage is that sometimes things aren’t really as they seem.
For instance,

About me

My name is not Joke Master (or even Crusher to my friends).
I don’t have a criminal record for GBH or fraudulent conversion.
The photo I sent you was of not of me but a convicted criminal who is currently in prison.

About you

You can’t decide whether your name is Joseph Kyari or Moore Pan
You’re not an accountant and you don’t work for South Africa National Petroleum Corporation
You are, however, a pretty piss-poor 419 scammer who has just had a long wait at Schiphol airport monitored by CCTV cameras

About life in general

Complete strangers don’t contact you out of the blue to offer you millions of dollars just for opening a bank account – and if they do most reasonable people would know that they’re fraudsters.

The people you’re going to catch have a genetic disorder – they have been born with equal amounts of greed and stupidity

Thanks for the amusement over the last 5 weeks and God bless!
