Dear Mr Williams,
Thank you for your e-mail.
You have probably received a rather irate e-mail from my client, Mr Mikhail Stroganov. Between oourselves I must inform you that he is a short-tempered gentleman and one must not take his occasional outbursts too personally. For instance, an error by one of my staff cost one of Mr Stroganov's companies US$10,000 and he shouted down the telephone at me for at least fifteen minutes. However, when I offered to dismiss the clerk who made the mistake, Mr Stroganov said that I should give the man one more chance because the fellow had a wife and six children to support.
I shall be travelling to Moscow on Friday for a meeting with Mr Stroganov so I suggest that we keep in touch for the present solely by e-mail. Or you can speak in strict confidence to my deputy Mr Joseph Kucker at xxxx@xxxxx.xxx.xx or call him on the telephone on [O]208 507 8833.
Incidentally, if there is a release fee to be paid to Global Security and Finance, I should tell you that at present it is unlikely that Mr Stroganov will release any US dollars as he is in the process of buying $18 million worth of American stocks. However, any charge could be paid in Canadian dollars, Scottish pounds sterling or Slovakian silver dorks. As Mrs Abacha's adviser, you may wish to recommend one of these currencies to her.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Charles Farnes-Barnes
You may wish to inform your readers that the telephone number given to Mr WIlliams is the headquarters of Britain's largest chain of "adult" [or one handed readers] bookshops.
If the Lad takes the bait Pofessor Stroganov, Sir Marmite Loony-Binns [Drunkard of this Parish] and myself plan to extract a token five dollar bill from him as proof of his honesty.

PS ARE YOU GOING TO WATCH ENGLAND V CROATIA???
Charles Farnes-Barnes
Dear Richard,
I have just returned to Britain after my meeting with Mr Stroganov. I must tell you that as I expected he was not in the best of spirits.
As you know, Russia has been knocked out of the Euro 2004 Football Championships but more importantly - and I tell you this in the STRICTEST CONFIDENCE - a Nigerian gentleman flew to see Mr Stroganov in Moscow with a plea for funds to help build a school for orphans whose parents were killed in the recent fighting vetween Christians and Moslems.
Mr Stroganov gave the man - one Ivor Babayaro - US $25,000 in cash only to be told that the fellow was a fraudster. Naturally, Mr Stroganov is furious and this explains his rather rude e-mail to you which accuses you of being dishonest.
However, I think I could persuade Mr Stroganov to continue with the transaction.
This is the problem: there is no real proof of the existence of this fund, and Mr Stroganov does not want to spend time and money to fly to Nigeria without hard evidence that this fund really exists.
You will agree that PROOF and TRUST are so important for they will GUARANTEE a GENUINE proposition.
Mr Stroganov is fifty years old in two week time. I suggest that you send him by air mail a birthday card with a small gift - say a US one dollar bill. You can mail this to my home address. This will show Mr Stroganov and myself exactly how much TRUST and CONFIDENCE you have in this business deal.
One receipt of this I promise that I will promise help you financially to complete this deal if needed.
With best wishes,
Charles Farnes-Barnes

Dear Mr Williams,
I am most concerned about your situation. Is Mr Stroganov correct in thinking that your client is a fruadster ? If so, I urge you to apologise immediately and tell Mr Stroganov that you were unaware of your client's criminal intent in case Mr Stroganov decides to take any action against you.
In the meantime, as a fellow professional, let me give you a word of advice - if a gentleman named Ivor Babayaro calls your office, nstruct your secretary to tell him that you are out of town for the next two weeks. By then Mr Stroganov's temper will have cooled.
Yours truly,
Charles Farnes-Barnes
HE STILL WON'T GIVE UP
Barrister Williams
Dear Stroganov,
Compliment of the day to you, hope your not the same mood you were yesterday.As I said before this is not a scam not a means to take money from you.Indeed my country is know for scam, that does not say there are no honest people in the country.The Russian team played badly intheir first two matches on the championship but that does not mean that they were no good players in the team. Atlist the gave a good account of themselves inthe last match.I am not trying to misdirect you with words but let us examing this all over. If it were not the event which took the life of the husband of my client i believe you wont besounding like this if you really new him.This family use to be very rich before democracy came to Nigeria. This you can verify from anyone of your friends especially in switzerland . The present government has frozen their swiz account and all the account they have outside Nigeria.It is quite unfortunate that they are now under your mercy.I agreed to work for them because I
know that after the BUSH ADMINISTRATION IN THE states . This account will be defrozen maybe then you will understand what i am saying. There is a saying in my country that when the mighty fall there is the tendercy that they will rise again because of the investment an the connection they have.As longer as you are a billioneer you have all the resources within you to hunt me down if this is a scam . YOU JUST SEND THE MONEY AND LET ME SECURE THE ORIGINAL DOCUMENT FOR YOU FIRST OR IF YOU PREFER TO VIST THE SECURITY COMPANY YOURSELF. MY CLIENT IS UNDER YOU MERCY YOU CAN CHOOSE TO SHOW A LITTE KINDNESS BY ASSIST HER I HOPE YOU WILL RECONSIDER.PLEASE CALL ME ON 234-8037121135 THERE ARE SOME VITAL INFORMATIONI WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU VERBALLY.
THANKS

Charles Farnes-Barnes
Dear Richard [if I may],
Alas, Mr Stroganov is convinced you have not been totally frank with him.
If you would like me to try and change his mind, I will do so. I am prepared to fly to Nigeria for a face to face meeting with you.
I am free from the beginning of July. I usually stay at Le Meridian Eko - tell me which days are most convenient to you and I will make a reservation for myself and my colleague Mr Joseph Kucker of the Upyakiltska Merchant Bank of Edinburgh and Moscow.
Yours sincerely,
Charles Farnes-Barnes
more to come?
