TWO MORE LOVELY SOLICITATIONS

I have received two more lovely letters kindly requesting my assistance.

The basic argument of both epistles is that if I help the writer commit an illegal and unethical act, I will receive a percentage.

I'm sure I will.

Here are both letters.

Letter 1.

MR. SAMUEL AMAGO,
THE SENIOR AUDITOR INCHARGE
FOREIGN REMITTANCE UNIT,
BANK OF AFRICA{BOA}.
OUAGADOUGOU BURKINA FASO.


Dear Friend,

I presumed that all is well with you and your family. Please let this not be a surprise message to you because i got your contact information from the international directory few weeks ago before i decided to contact you on this magintude and lucrative transaction for our present and future survival in life. Moreover, i have laid all the solemn trust in you before i decided to disclose this successful & confidential transaction to you.

I am the senior Auditor Incharge of Foreign Remittance Unit of our bank and i decided to contact you for this financial transaction worth fifteen Million, United States dollar ($15m) for our present and future success. This is an abandoned fund that belongs to one of our bank foreign customers who died along with his entire family through plane crash few years ago.
Meanwhile i was very fortune to come across the deceased file when i was
arranging the old and abandoned customers files in other to sign and submit to the entire bank management for an official re-documentation and audit of the year against 2006.

Informed clearly that it was stated in our Foreign banking rules and regulations which was signed lawfully that if such fund remains unclaimed till the period of 4 years started from the date when the beneficiary died, the money will be transferred into the treasury as an unclaimed fund. However, it is not authorized by the rules guiding our bank for a citizen of Burkina Faso to make the claim of the fund unless you are a foreigner no matter the country. So the request of you as a foreigner is necessary to apply for the claim and transfer of the fund smoothly into your reliable bank account as the next of kin to the deceased.

When the fund is transferred into your account, { 36% } Thirty Six Percent will be for you in respect of all your assistance for the transfer of the fund into your account and provision of the bank account where the bank will remit the fund,{ 56% } Fifty Six Percent will be for me being the pioneer of the business while the rest { 8% } eight Percent will be shared to respectable Organisations such as Charity , Motherless Babies Homes, and helpless disabled people arround us in the World.

If you are really sure of your, Trustworthiness, Accountability and confidentiality on this transaction, contact me and accept not to change your mind to cheat, or disappoint me when the fund is transferred into your account. So reply for the assurance with your telephone and fax numbers necessary to facilitate an easy communication. As soon as you reply, you notify me so that i will let you know the next steps and procedures to follow in order to finalize this transaction immediately.

I expect your urgent communication.

Yours sincerely,



MR SAMUEL AMAGO.

I really like the schizophrenia of the second writer, who seems blisfully unaware of his naming surplus. But he's all business.

The first writer indulges in obsequiy and lyricism, and is so far from using majuscule that he humbly lowercases himself. Oh courteous man from waggadoogoo!

I actually prefer "Mister Mister Eric Macus(evidently DBA Mr. Paul Cooper)", if for no other reason than that he is somewhat exotically located in Senegal, instead of the seemingly inevitable Burkina Faso.
