THEREFORE, I AM CONFUSED THAT WE NEED TO SHARE "EXPENSES". IF THIS BANK DUDE IS A SLAM DUNK, THEN WHY WOULD THEIR BE EXPENSES?

WE WILL MAKE COUNTLESS MILLIONS WHILE THEY KILL EACH OTHER FOR A BONE FROM A ZEBRA FOR THEIR DINNER. IT MUST BE HORRIBLE TO NOT KNOW WHAT YOUR NEXT MEAL IS DR TOM! WE CANNOT BEAR TO LIVE A LIFE OF LUXURY AND LET OUR BROTHERS FROM AFRICA SUFFER. WE SHOULD GIVE AT LEAST HALF BACK TO THE GOVERNMENTS OF AFRICA...JUST THINK ABOUT IT, WE WOULD BE HEROES MAN. WE WOULD MAKE THE FRONT PAGE OF EVERY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD. THE BOOK DEAL ALONE WOULD BE WORTH MILLIONS. WE COULD APPEAR ON THE TODAY SHOW, AND HANGING OUT WITH KATIE COURIC WOULD BE A *GOOD* THING DON'T YOU THINK? THE AMOUNT THAT WE WOULD MAKE FROM ROYALTIES AND APPEARANCES WOULD MAKE US QUITE THE STARS. BEFORE YOU KNOW IT, WE WOULD BE JUDGES FOR THE NEXT AMERICAN IDOL-OR OTHER COOL STUFF LIKE THAT.

IT'S A CHOICE WE MAKE, WE'RE SAVING THEIR OWN LIVES, SO THEY CAN LIVE A BETTER DAY, LIKE YOU AND ME...WE ARE THE WORLD, WE ARE THE CHILDREN... Oops, caps lock was stuck, sorry. You wanted my "secure" phone number, so here it is: 773-555-9493. I'm not sure what country codes you have to dial, or anything. I'm pretty dense when it comes to geography. I mean, when you first contacted me, I thought "Africa" was that dry county just south of Santa Fe. I had no idea it was actually a country in South America. You can use the same number for my fax machine. For Banks, I am considering using Nations Bank from Washington DC, they are pretty cool. Also, (and this is really important, so please pay attention!) when you make out your power of attorney paperwork, BE SURE to use the name "Al Coholic." This is the name I use for all my business dealings. It makes it a little easier to circumvent the Internal Revenue Service, not to mention the Securities and Exchange Commission. All those pesky tax and trading laws -- they're enough to give me a headache! I mean, I have enough trouble remembering what channel WWF Raw is on, let alone memorize the nuances of securities law. 'Nuff said. I appreciate this opportunity to be of service to you, and don't worry if I don't answer the phone when you call. Best regards. DR TOM EKON (tomekon2002@yahoo.fr)Monday, June 16, 2003 11:46 AMDear Mr.The Count, Are you with me or not because i am a bit confused with your kind mailing always.Nevertheless,the total sum has already insured before i decided to contact you ok. That is the reason why we are going to handle the little expenses so that the total sum will easily arrive in your bank account very easily. Moreover, we are going to contact an attorney and pay him for his mobilization fees so that the attorney can easily proceed to the ministry of justice to get some relevanr covering documents from there so that it will enable us to proceed ahead. Finally, you are advise to forward your bank details including your direct telephone number first and complete full name so that i can forward it to the attorney later.I quite believe that you are not going to betray me immediately the total sum arrive in your chosen bank account in America. Please confirm first. Thanks, Dr.Tom Ekon.

He was so pissed off, he beat the hell out of his dog Scooby this morning when I called him. Not a pretty sight. Anyway, I asked him why he was all bent out shape. He said, "Zoinks, like wow man, the US Government has an embargo on Hungary" and proceeded to tell me that because Hungary did not support the US efforts in Iraq, all transactions are being monitored very closely by the CIA. That is not good. So much for the Bank of America. I think at this point, I will need to contact my old college buddy Dr. Doogie Howser, who presently is on the Medical School Faculty at Oxford University in the UK. He can help me get a UK bank to help us out. Otherwise, if you know of any other good financial places, let me know. By the way, Daphne and Velma said that they never got the fax this weekend. What is your problem? You're making me look stupid. Daphne, Velma, and Shaggy are all mad at me, and that is not good for my business. I need these workers to keep me going. It is not like they are a bunch of meddling kids or anything. So I am going to have to insist that you get going on the paperwork. FAX THEM WILL YOU WHAT ARE WE WAITING FOR!!!!

He called his buddy Freddie, they go a long way back, and he was able to work it out. Meanwhile, I am cruising along in my jet on my way to Los Angeles to meet with Mike Brady. As I mentioned before, he is the architect for the condo project in Monterey.

He kept mumbling something about putting all his kids through college or something. Anyway, I decided to stop in Las Vegas to play some cards, and used my counting scheme again. This time I got busted. Not good. The FBI froze my assets and they are investigating my winnings. So, we need to get going and wrap this up. All of my liquid cash is currently bogged down by damn Feds, so this could take a while. I don't want lose this deal with Brady, so I really need your help.

The Hungarian International Claring House insurance fees calculation goes as follows: The insurance fee of USD 1.000.000 (one million United States dollars) is USD 100 (one hundred United States dollars only). The insurance fee of USD 52,000,000 M (United States dollars only) is USD 5,200 (five thousand two hundred United States dollars only) when converted to the Hungarian local currency (Forint) which we work upon.

With the insurance effect and attachment on your file, the Claring House will open the Network Free Access to our Telex/Remittance Dept to your bank.

We deplore The Count's slap at an organization which no doubt has given many young people their first leg up in the world of work as well as middle-aged people on their way down from jobs which have gone overseas and we don't have anything against Wal-Mart, and, the sedative is kicking in just about now, sorry if we killed the joke.] Also, my lawyer Shaggy is confused as well. You are asking for $5,000 Western Union and you did not provide where the funds are supposed to be transferred to. Do I look like a freaking psychic or something. I got the money right here on my desk ready to go and now I have to waste more time with your incompetence. You must be a complete moron or something!! Get a clue. The rest of the document is just a bunch of crap that means nothing to me. What is going on? What do I need to do? I want to do business with you but all I get is this run around. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM!!! Just email the damn Western Union address so I can send the money!!! Awaiting instruction with my cash, and hoping that you pull your head out of your rear, Sincerely, The Count Time to let my buddy Dr. Tom know that I am on the edge... THE COUNTFriday, June 27, 2003 12:25 PMDr. Tom, I have 5 grand ready for Western Union and your moron in Hungary can't tell me where to Western Union it. Can you help me out here? I am ready to go, but have no answers. I mean, it has been 3 weeks of this stuff, and I all I get is the run around. For being an URGENT request, this is turning out to be a real pain. However, I will remain patient because my reward will be worth it. By the way you seem to have disappeared, what is going on? I hope that being a little eccentric didn't offend you. I am just under a lot of pressure. Have a great weekend and God Bless. DR TOM EKON (tomekon2002@yahoo.fr)Saturday, June 28, 2003 6:55 AMMr.The Count, We are not joking.I therefore, deem you to stop the communication with me base on your rockect words.Because i am ready to fine another soluction now. Thanks, Dr.Tom Ekon. I can't believe it has lasted this long already. Time to turn on the charm and mend things up. THE COUNTMonday, June 30, 2003 7:53 AMMy dearest Doctor Tom, I sincerely apologize for my "rockect" words. Unfortunately, that is not a word in English, so I am not sure what that means. Good luck finding another "soluction". Dude--spell check. If you want to end it all, that is okay with me. Over the weekend, I got an email from a Dr ali garuba with a sweeter deal. I sent to him Western Union only $3,500 USD and today, he deposited $16 million USD in my account. So I am set after all. Too bad, Dr. Tom, we would have made excellent partners. Best wishes and hopes of future success. DR TOM EKON (tomekon2002@yahoo.fr)Monday, June 30, 2003 9:05 AMMr.The Count, I have read and considered with my wife. But if you are still ready to proceed further with us.Kindly, call orwrite a letter of apology to the coresponding bank first. After then, get back to us. Thanks, Dr.Tom.
Apologize to the bank? I had tears coming out of my eyes from
laughing... THE COUNTMonday, June 30, 2003 9:38 AMTo: 'raymond accostale' Cc: 'tomekon2002@yahoo.fr' Subject: consideration Dear Mr. Livero Mbeki, Sir, I have heard from my associate Dr. Tom Ekon, that our potential business together was jeopardized recently by some comments that I made toward you and your associates. I do admit that I became a bit frustrated and upset and indeed got a bit crude. For that I apologize. There is absolutely no excuse for me to forget to take my Prozac. Calling my friends in Hungary buffoons was extremely tasteless and insensitive. In your honor, I will purchase a Turkish flag and fly next to the great red white and blue at my National Headquarters. Rest assured, when the funds are transferred, I will send Fed Ex international, a case of Krispy Cremes. If there is anything else that I may do to regain your business, please call my assistant Daphne or Velma. At this point, it was dragging on too long, and quite frankly I was running out of whacky things to say. I think that it is time we let Yahoo know about Dr. Tom.
