Eliza Dane Dear Mr Briggs, I'm not sure where to start with this.

Your Country? Australia Investment information? I don't understand the question. Regards, Eliza Dane Well, few surprises here.

Let's see if it's a problem. [4] A picture of Sophie Monk - that should get him on side. Eliza Dane Dear Mr Briggs, I can't supply a copy of my passport - when I got mine in 2002 the Department had me sign a form stating that I'd safeguard my passport. One thing they definitely warned about was making scans or copies. I can supply a photo taken late last year (New Year's Eve, to be exact). On the share front - what's with the expenses bit? 5% of 18 million is $900,000 - what could cost that much? Those are the bank charges from Hel! Investment info? Don't you have a business council in - where the bloody Hel are you? You haven't said - "you may require to come to my office here to sign some document" - where? Anyhoo - there must be Web resources you can use to establish the best investment risks. And what's this about "financial support"? You want to spell it out? I'll be totally frank with you on the religion front - though it shouldn't matter; I am a member of the People of Odin, worshippers of the Norse pantheon as worshipped by the Aryan volk of Europe. I am not a Christian. If this offends you, I am sorry, but you insisted on knowing. Regards, Eliza Dane [[Enclosed picture of a radiantly pretty Sophie Monk, perfect complexion, blond hair blowing in the breeze.] What's this? 'Hasan'?

Thanking you for your patronage. Yours faithfully, BARRISTER. BERNARD LISA (senior Partner). Eliza Dane Benson, This just arrived. Holy Odin! What the Hel are they trying to pull? $11,000+ dollars for some papers, and then they actually expect 5% of the money? Who the fuck do they think they are? Eliza I've used the analogy to the Magna Carta and the Declaration of Independence a few times - so bring in something topical... Eliza Dane Dear Mr Lisa , Duly noted, but I'm surprised at two things. [1] The fees for paperwork look absurdly high. I might consider paying thousands for a document if it was the Magna Carta or the Declaration of Independence, or it had to be secured from a bank vault in Sadr City or somewhere like that. What you're going to get doesn't fall into either category. [2] Why on earth would you and your firm be entitled to 5% of the money? You're charging over $11,000 for some papers, and as well you expect to get $900,000 for (your figures) seven days' work? This doesn't make any sense. I will be communicating further in the near future. Regards, Eliza Dane Bernard Lisa Date..31 03-2006 ATTN: Eliza Dane, These chambers wish to inform you that, The 11,280 USD Charged is to secure some relivant documet from variuos department like Ministry of justice and ministry of finance that will help you get this fund in your nominated account. Whoever that directed you to our firm knows our modulities and method. we charge for what we can do. I am sure that we are going to give the best. we are going to represent you here and get the said document in your name, we will send a copy to you and to the bank for approval, and soon as bank get this they will inform you on how the date of transfer. I will inform you our mode of payment as soon as you ready to make the payment. Thanking you for your patronage. Yours faithfully, BARRISTER. BERNARD LISA (senior Partner) Benson Briggs Date. 01-04-2006 Dear Elisa, I got your mail and update from attorney, I really that God that you can seen that what iam telling you is not just story but truth, You should know very well that buisness of such magnitude deserve little sacrifice, i have been makinng arrangement on how much i can afford so that we can give attorney for the document, You too search and see how much you can afford so that we can team up and pay so that he will proceed in getting the document. Kindly write him and ask him his mode of payment , that you will try and look for money and see how much you can afford. as soon as you get that , i will tell you how iam going to make the little payment to him so that he will not know my involvement in this business. Dont worry much we are going to overcome the bill and get the money transfer to your account in australia soon. Get back to me as soon as you get the mode of payment, pls dont be harsh on the attorney so that he will help you get the fund. he is a very honest man. I am waiting for reply. Ben Eliza Dane Benson, What the Hel gave the idea that I doubted you? You're not bottling out on me are you? I don't doubt you, but I've got some major doubts about this Lisa dude. This is what he told me when I questioned the fees: "These chambers wish to inform you that, The 11,280 USD Charged is to secure some relivant documet from variuos department like Ministry of justice and ministry of finance that will help you get this fund in your nominated account. Whoever that directed you to our firm knows our modulities and method. we charge for what we can do." What are "modulities"? And he still hasn't explained why it's going to cost so much to get these papers. FOI is never that expensive. I'm not asking for something from the KGB archives. He wants two thousand dollars for a fucking death certificate! This is plain MAD! Then you said this: "we can team up and pay so that he will proceed in getting the document". Freya's mercy - are you saying we pay him IN ADVANCE? Not only does he want to gouge us, but he wants cash up front! Mr Lisa may be honest - I've got no reason to doubt him - but he's blowing smoke if he thinks I'll meet these terms. And he's off his face if he thinks he's getting 5% as well. Eliza Eliza Dane Dear Mr Lisa , I'll comment on your fees another time. I'll ask just this: What makes you believe that you are entitled to 5% of the $18 million? Regards, Eliza Dane Benson Briggs Date. 01-04-2006 Dear Elisa, Thanks for your mail, Now is 12.15am in my country and still awake thinking on what to do in this attorney payment, before this mail came. I have discuss with my friend who agree to borrow me $5000 and i have $3000 athand already that will make total $8000, kindly write to him now and tell him that you have $8000 athand and you will send it to his chamber through your local contact and Family friend, By name Mrs Maria Ezema, although he may respond to you now, now is midnight in my country. but he may respond tommorow. Elisa, Mrs Ezema is a family friend, i have discussed it with her on how she will make the payment on your behalf. Ask attaoney to give you the name of contact person or cashier who will receive the money from her tommorow. Please Note impotantly, Barrister has done this to many beneficiary before in our office here and he has also created good relationship with my directors, That is main reason i want him to do this for us. He will represent you here at my bank any time they needs you for signing till the fund get to your account. Lets give him this $8000, and hear what he will say , all i want from you is to work according to my instruction till we get this money transfer in your account. We are working towards getting $18million and accumulated intrest so relax we are going to enjoy very shortly. Note Miss Eliza, can you come down to my office here so that you can do the signing yourself ? it another way of reducing cost and building trust between us too. You should not be angry with him, That is their normal charge for benaficairy forign transfer of such magnitude. I am sure he is capable of doing this for us. 5% of every fund transferd is for them but it should be after successfull transfer . I am waiting for your reply. Regards Ben. Benson, Eliza Dane You pretty much answered my question - yes, Mr Liza does want payment in advance, so you have to scrape up cash and borrow from your friends, and presumably so do I. This is just wrong. Why is he asking for money up front? My family's had two dealings with lawyers (probate and business matters) and in both cases the fees were paid when the work was done. Doctors, tradesmen, plant suppliers... all of them submit an invoice when the job is done, not before. For some reason, Mr Lisa wants it now. I'm suspicious, I don't quite know why, but I am. As for his demand for 5%, that is just out of the question. This is a one-off deal, not the OJ trial. He has to get some papers (for which we're paying through the nose) and there's also a fee of $4,000. Over the rate I'd say, but I'll pass that for now. He is smoothing the path for us, and this is worth $900,000? No way! You say, we're getting 18 million, let it go. Well, I don't like someone taking advantage of me. Now, coming to your office... are you in Nigeria too? I never hear anything good about it. Riots, street crime, and corruption; is it safe? Eliza Bernard Lisa Date..01 04-2006 ATTN: Eliza Dane, Thanks for your mail, we wish to let you understand that, we have been in this Job for more than 28years and we have done this kind of transfer to many client and No one have ever regret comming to this chamber. 5% percent of total money is this chamber stand for. The $11,280 USD is for your document which i will send i copy to you and to bank too for approval. We ask for the 5% as soon as you get the total fund into your nominated account, then we will send to you our account where your will send the money. we have done it before your are not the first client comming for our representative. We are going to make out our time to be at the bank always for you till you get the money into your account. CONGRATULATIONS Thanking you for your patronage. Yours faithfully, BARRISTER. BERNARD LISA (senior Partner). Eliza Dane Dear Mr Lisa , Please confirm whether or not the $11,280 is required to be paid in advance. Regards, Eliza Dane Benson Briggs Date. 03-04-2006 Dear Eliza, Thanks for your mail but i wonder why you are making things difficult for us, i told you that, This is how Benlisa Chambers handle such case, even the one he has done in the past in my office here. they have been doing it before, iam sure he is not trying to cheat us. You should not compare australia lawyer to Nigeria lawyers, Although you are making sence in you talk but we should continue arguing on this. Please if you must conclde this business with me you must follow my instruction till we get this money into your account. Have you ask Mr Lisa about their mode of of payment? please do so that we will proceed immediately. There is no time to waste in this business again. Please Note importantly Eliza, I am taking advantage of you in any way, i brought this in view of creating business relation with you not taking advantage of you. You are working for the beterment of you and your family not me, I only need you to help me get this fund out since i cant do it alone, Well, i wonder your utterances to my own country Nigeria, To be sincere with you , l can not deny my country because of her bad name. l want you to note that their are good and bad business people world over, its takes your instincts and gutts to know what is correct in your life and you do it. Nigeria is not what you take it to be . l am from Nigeria, their are still honest people in Nigeria, all l want from you is to trust me and follow my instruction l assure you that you will be happy with me regarding this business. why i said you should come to my office here in Nigeria is to see things yourself and see Barrister Yourself, it will also help build more trust in this business and reduce cost too. Kindly write to him and lets pay him the one i have athand and see what will be his reaction. i really want us to conlude soon. I borrowed this money and promise to pay back by next week as soon as the transfer is done to your nominated account. I pray that God will help us. Regards Ben. Eliza Dane Benson, I'm not trying to be difficult; I'm just following my instincts. Father Odin gives wisdom to his people, and I would be wrong to ignore my inner voice that counsels caution. Still - if you can guarantee this deal, I guess I'll get down to business and ask Mr Lisa if your payment suggestion would work, at least some of the way. I'm not that flush with cash and I'd be hard pressed to cover even half the fee he's charging. If he didn't insist on cash up front I'd be a bit happier about things. I guess I spoke a bit out of line about Nigeria. It's a negative overload thing - bad things make the papers, good things don't. I looked up Nigeria on travel guides and there seem to be things worth seeing. I really like the look of Sungbo Eredo. Do you know it? Bye for now, Eliza PS Where the Hel is your photo!? Eliza Dane Dear Mr Lisa , If I read this correctly, not only do you want the $11,280 up front, you want the $900,000 paid in as well before the fund is transferred?

Here's a thought; maybe I should send the money to you rather than to him.

Let me know.

Write me as soon as you settled with the chamber. benson The sweet, polite, friendly Eliza isn't doing the job. It's time to deploy the berserker variant, as befits an Odin-worshipper.

Bernard Lisa said: We wish to inform you that this chamber may not attend to you after monday and dont ever blame this chamber for not getting your fund from the Bank.

I wait for you mail or signoff letter so that i can proceed with a serious person. Benson Eliza Dane Benson, You're not making much sense. Scratch that - you're not making any sense. Is English your first language? I assumed but was, but it's looking less and less that way now. "please if you are intrested again or willing to conclude with me" - huh? What the fuck are you saying? "Afterall iam forcing you to be part of this business" - aren't you telling me the exact opposite? I can't send any money to Bernard Lisa because Western Union won't do it, under something called provision 6848. Even if I could find some other way, no can do, things are closed for Easter. Shit of a thing to happen, but not my fault. Do I LOOK like Pontius Pilate? It ain't over till I say it's over, Benson. I've been putting quality time in finding a home you and the missus and the sprogs, I was ready to put in 4000 bucks to fund this - don't ever say I'm not serious! Eliza Eliza Dane Benson, Now will you admit that not sending the money to you was a bad idea? I can't send anything before Tuesday because of Easter. Send me your details and I'll send the money to you. Mrs Ekzema can take it there again. Answer me soon, willya? I want to get this done too! Eliza The Lad tries to use a little moral blackmail to recover the script. Illness, sleeplessness... just you wait, Benson Briggs, just you wait! Benson Briggs Date 17-04-2006 Dear Elisa , Infact,You have betrayed the great trust i have in you. I will not be happy with you if Barrister Bernard lisa refuse to help in this business because of this your delay.You want to deliberately waste my efforts and financial investment on this project for not paying your own part to the chamber since to enable them submit the document for approval. if you really want to work with me for conclusion of this business , Kindly send the money to him as he instructed via western union and get back to me so that i will tell you what to do immediately. I am presently feeling terribly bad because I have put in so much time and money in bring this business to the present finishing point and would not want any disappointment.I cannot sleep because of this long delay. We have done a wonderful job bringing this business to the present finishing point, pls don,t mess it up. Kindly send that money to him and get back to me Benson Eliza went quiet... but Berserker Eliza returns with a vengeance. Eliza Dane BENSON! Are you listening to a fucking word I've been saying, you moron? I CAN'T SEND MONEY TO HIM VIA WESTERN UNION BECAUSE WESTERN UNION WON'T LET ME! Merciful Freya, soothe my nerves! What is your fucking problem, Benson? Thor's beard, you just will not listen. I am trying to get the money to you, I'm suggesting ways to do it, and all you can do is sit there intoning, "Send the money by Western Union. Send the money by Western Union. Send the money by Western Union...." over and over again. AAGH! It's like talking to a machine! There's $5.4 million at stake here for me, and all you can do is rant on about how I've betrayed your trust. I sent you all the details you wanted. I tried to send the money. Exactly how am I supposed to have betrayed your trust? Why the fuck would I want to? I'll say it again; send me YOUR details and I'll send the money to YOU. Then YOU can give the money to Mrs Ekzema and she can deliver it. She's done it before, what's the hassle? Eliza The Lad tries to sway things back on script with a little psychology. Benson Briggs Date 17-04-2006 Eliza, I hope you are not trying to be stupid because i brought business to you, How could you call me moron? and stupid ulterances, it is you that is moron. Infact, I have begining to suspect you, I am not sure the safety of my share when it get to your account. Please Kindly write to attorney now and tell him that you are no longer intrested in that transaction and please Hand off totally in this business. Try and send superceeding power of attorney to me immediately so that i can proceed with serious person, Bye Benson ... Not that it was ever going to work... Eliza Dane Benson, The only stupidity is yours. I am trying to get the money to you so you can arrange payment but for reasons that defy explanation you won't agree. Is there any explanation you can give for why I can't send the money to you? Why must it go to Bernard Lisa, when I've given you one good rock solid cast iron reason why I can't send it to him via Western Union? If I told Bernard Lisa that I wasn't interested, I'd be lying. I am not going to just meekly let go. Why the fuck do you want that daft power of attorney rather than US$3280 to pay Bernard Lisa? IT MAKES NO SENSE AT ALL! I want an explanation - THAT MAKES SENSE, mind you - about why you won't accept my solution. Eliza Dane Eliza Dane Dear Mr Lisa , I am trying to get the money to you but for some reason Mrs Ezema is balking at making another cash delivery (I am trying to get the money to her via WU, but she hasn't agreed to it yet).
