Subject : FROM MRS ISADORA THOMAS
My name is Mrs.Isadora Thomas, A Bahrain national I have been diagnosed with Oesophageal cancer .It has defied all forms of medical treatment, and right now I have only about a few months to live, according to medical experts.I have not particularly lived my life so well, as I never really cared for anyone (not even myself)but my business.
Though I am very rich, I was never generous, I was always hostile to people and only focused on my business as that was the only thing I cared for. But now I regret all this as I now know that there is more to life than just wanting to have or make all the money in the world.
I believe when God gives me a second chance to come to this world I would live my life a different way from how I have lived it. Now that God has called me, I have willed and given most of my property and assets to my immediate and extended family members as well as a few close friends. I want God to be merciful to me and accept my soul so, I have decided to give alms to charity organizations, as I want this to be one of the last good deeds I do on earth. So far, I have Distributed money to some charity organizations in the U.A.E, Somalia and Malaysia. Now that my health has deteriorated so badly, I cannot do this myself anymore. This is my last money which no one knows of is in the huge cash deposit of Nine Million dollars(9,000,000,00) that I have with a finance House abroad. I will want you to help me collect this deposit and despatch it to charity organizations.
As all modalities has been put in place for you to get the trunk box.
N/B:KINDLY NOTE THAT 20% of this funds must go to the tsunami victims and another 10% for your effort and time.
My Regards and hoping to hear from you soonest,
Mrs.Isadora Thomas.

Dear Mrs. Thomas,
I'm sad to hear that your medical situation is so dire. Might I ask what forms of medical treatment you've had thus far? I presume that the cancer has since metastasized, that being the reason for your poor prognosis.
In any case, it is indeed heartwarming to hear that you've heard God's call to take up the charitable cause in your last months. What prompted you to come to me in particular to ask for help? Perhaps this is God's guidance again: here at Little Boys' Hospital, the 10% of the funds would be just perfect to complete the proctology suite, and perhaps replace some of our old wooden tools with state-of-the-art surgical steel.
Please let me know how I can assist you.
Regards
Sweeney H. Todd, M. D.

Thank you very much for your response to my email, which has assured me of your seriousness. Please i want you to take me as your mother or your sister and help me accomplish this project which i have in mind.
The word in your response has given me great Joy. This is a good work of charity project I have placed in your hands. My dear I will only say to you with reason of my throat cancer, I am unable to speak but all I want is that the money is first safe in your hand before I meet the Lord so that it can be used for the intended purpose.
Even surgery which is a last resort has been done but the cancer has already spread into the stomach and intestines.
It is for this same reason I have randomly searched through the internet email directory to find somebody who has the predisposition to accomplish the task of passing on a privately kept fund of ($9,000,000,00) million dollars to charitable organizations as he or she deems fit, since I cannot do this myself due to my failing health.
It was this random search that yielded your contact email address with which I sent you my first email. Note that this was just a probing move to establish contact, because I am sure you know as well as I do that most people would snatch at the offer considering the large amount involved and more also since the disbursement of this fund would be entirely in the hands of the claimant. For this reason I felt that after our initial communication I should be able to determine if we can precede based on certain indices as well as intuitive feeling I would deduce.I hope my first email did not embarrass you? If it did, I apologize for this. The fund in questions is privately kept and I wanted to put it in capable hands for disbursement.
Other such funds that I left to my relatives to disburse to charity were all plundered and used for their personal purposes. For this reason I have decided that within the confines of my hospital room and the privacy of my computer (to which I have internet connection) to look for a suitable person to transfer ownership of the deposit to, and after claiming the money, disburse 90% of the $9, 000, 000, 00 to various charitable organizations of your choice in various countries and then retain 10% of the money for your effort.
The $9 million dollars is physical cash in a private finance/courier firm in europe. This is not a business proposal and I do not expect any returns or share of the money. I am dying and I have distributed most of my earthly possessions to various individuals, groups and organisations.This deposit of $9 million dollars is the bulk of what is left.
It is unknown to my other relatives.If I do not find a suitable person to disburse the funds as I plan to, then on my death the finance/courier firm holding the deposit would have to notify my next of kin to claim the deposit as stipulated on the deposit agreement. And from what I have seen of how they spent the other funds I designated for the same purpose, leaving the fund in their care would be a colossal waste of all I have worked and lived for.
Just to promote some confidence on my side, kindly furnish me with the following details;
1.Your legitimate Name
2.Your direct telephone number (Cell if any)
3.Your fax number
4.Your postal address (Not P.O.Box)
5.Your occupation
6.Your age
I will need to send your contact details to the finance/courier firm regarding the release of this funds to you, await your response to the issues raised here.
I await further communication.
Yours Faithfully.

Dear Mrs. Thomas,
Thank you for your prompt reply, and for the clarification on your condition. I must say that it is a somewhat unusual path of metastasis (particularly from esophagus to throat), but you are certainly correct in that at this stage the prognosis is rather poor. Please don't be concerned about embarrassing me with your previous message - I should tell you that I've just returned from an eight hour stint in the operating room after one of my patients had an exploding fistula. The resulting "code brown", as we refer to it in medical circles, was certainly most unpleasant. I believe it will be several days before we can use that operating room again.

I have neither the certificate of deposit nor the power of attorney at present - I trust that perhaps Mrs. Thomas can provide these?
I have another question for you: will the entire shipment be delivered unopened to Little Boys' Hospital, or will Customs examine it on entry to the United States? The reason I ask is that I'm somewhat surprised that, as far as I know, you haven't asked either me or Mrs. Thomas for a detailed description of the contents, as would usually be required by Customs. Is your company able to import items without the need for a detailed examination on entry?

Dear Mrs. Thomas,
Thank you for sending the documents. I have signed the Power of Attorney, and I will return this and the deposit certificate to the courier firm forthwith. I will of course keep the contents of the trunk confidential; my concern was simply that it would be opened by the Customs Service on entry to the US, but Mr. Howard assures me that it will be shipped under diplomatic seal and hence inspection will be waived.
I will let you know as soon as I claim the trunk. In this case, I will have to deal with it personally; a key member of my administrative staff who would usually handle these matters is currently indisposed due to a recent incident at the hospital. To make a long story short, we recently installed a new Magnetic Resonance scanner, and we were unaware that the staff member in question has (well, had, strictly speaking) one of the old-fashioned ferrous hip implants. The maintenance people think they'll be able to get him out of there with some Crisco, ropes, and a winch, but needless to say, it's been quite a drain on all our resources.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Thank you for your message. I have attached the Certificate of Deposit, and a signed copy of the Power of Attorney; these were the two outstanding documents.
I am interested to hear that you have a procedure by which you can ship items from one country to another under diplomatic seal. Hypothetically, would it be possible for you to send items, for example, from the United States to Eastern Europe, and vice versa, without customs inspection at either end?
I eagerly await your reply, in particular to this last question.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Thank you for your message, and for the enumeration of charges due for the delivery of this trunk. As a partner of Little Boys Hospital, I will have to ask permission of a majority of our board of trustees in order to free up the necessary funds. And there's the rub: they will expect some quid pro quo, so to speak.
And this latter is why I obliquely mentioned in my previous message to you a business proposal. Would you be willing to deliver for us some packages between Eastern Europe and the United States? I assure you that you would be handsomely remunerated for your efforts, but under the condition that you guarantee the packages will be opened neither by you nor by the customs authorities in either country of departure or arrival. The packages will need to be kept between 0 and 5C for the entire transit.
As I'm sure you can understand, your positive reply to the above proposal will greatly assist me in persuading our board to release the funds you are asking for.
Regards

Dear Isadora,
Here's an update on the current situation. I have forwarded all necessary documents to the courier company; Mr. Howard has confirmed receipt of them. I then received a message from Mr. Howard describing the various charges that would need to be paid in order for the trunk to be delivered. The total came to 9,700 British Pounds, which seems somewhat excessive, but then I presume what we're really paying for is the ability to get this trunk to the US without a customs inspection. In any case, I will have to bring this request to the attention of the financial committee of the hospital, the Non Affiliated Monetary Board and Lending Association (NAMBLA). I have made a suggestion to Mr. Howard about a business proposal (essentially some shipping work between US and Europe for our hospital). As I have pointed out to him, a speedy and positive response to my proposal would greatly improve my chances of getting NAMBLA to release the required funds. I have yet to hear back from Mr. Howard, however, and I'm loath to bring up the subject with the committee until I have news on this front.
On another tangentially related subject, as I'm sure you're aware by now, Little Boys' Hospital specializes in medical care for orphans with no means of support, and as such, we're mostly dependent on charitable contributions for our continued existence. I am very impressed by your philanthropy in your final years, and would be delighted if you would agree to donate to our hospital, or support our charity drive in other ways. Please let me know if you're interested in helping, and I'll let you know some of the possible ways you could aid us.
Kind Regards

Dear Mr. Howard,
Thank you for your response. I was indeed becoming quite concerned, as was Mrs. Thomas who recently contacted me asking me for an update on the progress. Do I understand your message to be asking me the nature of the objects I'd like to move from the US to Europe and vice versa? Indeed, in order to take proper care of the contents, you would have to have a detailed description. Before I can provide that, however, because of the somewhat sensitive nature of what we're dealing with here, I need to be absolutely certain that you're not affiliated with a law enforcement agency (Interpol, FBI, etc.). Please let me know if you'd be willing to submit to a simple procedure that would convince me of this - be assured that it would be a minimal burden to you, and on successful completion I'd have a strong case to present to our board to release the funds necessary for delivery of the original trunk. In addition, I'm sure they would be delighted to use your shipping service as the exclusive vendor for the delivery work I discussed.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Again, I'm somewhat concerned that I haven't had any reply from you for some days now. Do you still have the trunk safely stored? The hospital Board have provisionally agreed to release the funds itemized in your previous invoice, but this is dependent on one of the board members meeting you in person in order to ensure your bona fides, as I mentioned earlier. I gather you're based in London - is that correct? If so, I believe it will be possible for such a meeting to take place soon. Please confirm your receipt of this message, and your location, and I will elaborate.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Good news: the board of the hospital has declared that you are a Potential External Development Opportunity (PEDO), and has assigned the transaction code 7-11. However, before paying you the required fees for delivery of the trunk, and discussing the additional business I mentioned earlier, they would like to have one of the board members meet face-to-face with you. Fortunately, your reply is well-timed: one of the board members (most likely either Dr. Clauberg or Dr. Mengele, dependent on surgical schedule) will be traveling to London this Friday morning on United Airlines Flight 0930, arriving from San Francisco at London Heathrow at 7.10 am this Friday, September 8th. On successfully meeting you and confirming your bona fides, the board member will be instructed to immediately arrange to wire funds to you to pay for delivery of the trunk. Because of the sensitive nature of the additional business, please print and hold the sign that I've attached - note that it identifies neither you nor any of the board members by name, but I assure you that whichever doctor is traveling on Friday will recognize the sign immediately. The doctor will be expecting to see you in the arrivals area immediately outside customs.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Regards

This message is to confirm that one of our representatives is about to leave for London Heathrow tomorrow. I notice that I mistyped the arrival day: note that it should read Saturday September 8 instead of Friday. The rest of the details (United Airlines flight 0930 from SFO to LHR) are correct. I hope you will be able to take a little time from your busy schedule in order to meet briefly with our representative so that payment can proceed as planned.

Dear Mr. Howard,
Given that Kaatom is presumably a shipping company, I'm working under the assumption that you will deliver the trunk to the address I have given you in Glasgow, Montana, once you have been paid the charges for shipping. You have already given me an estimate for the delivery charges; I have sent you documentation that you agreed was acceptable proving that I am the legal recipient of the trunk. The board of Little Boys Hospital has agreed to pay the shipping charges, but because a considerable sum is involved, they would like to have one of their representatives meet with you in person before payment is made. Once this meeting has taken place, the money you requested will be immediately wired to you, and you may then proceed to ship the trunk to me as we originally agreed. One of our board is currently in the air headed for Heathrow, but I presume it's somewhat late for you to meet him by now. Hence I will have to let you know next time one of the hospital board travels to London, and I hope you will be able to rendezvous with him then. I apologize for the inconvenience, but given the amount of funds requested (almost 20,000 US dollars at the current exchange rate), I'm sure you can understand that the Hospital would like a face-to-face meeting to confirm your bona fides before payment is made. Obviously it's impractical for me to come over there and "pick up" the trunk box: it's too large to take as luggage on a commercial flight, hence the necessity of employing a shipping company to deliver it.
