While l came up to meet you in your country for investment purpose which you will be a partner due to your indigenous advantage.
I will be highly greatly to meet you in person. Please l want you to tell me the areas l will invest my own money. I used the opportunity and take the picture of the money, and l attached it for you to see.
I will stop here until l hear from you.

Linda's box of money!

Our reply

Obviously, trust is a two way street, sometimes even a three of four way street when more than two people are involved, but I can assure you that my intentions are indeed honourable.
Once I have the consignment, I will place it in my companies trust fund account, where it will accrue interest at a fantastic rate and probably double it's value within hours of being deposited.

Should you wish to invest the money in a business, I can arrange for you to set up a company, probably something along the lines of an import/export agency. You could import articles such as tobacco, a growing industry in this country and export the merchandise to places such as Peckham, Dudley and Southampton, where the street value will make an enormous profit.

Anthony lbeh

It will be ready in the meeting we are going to have on Monday morning been 14th of august 2006.

Our reply

After a recent meeting at the Vic, my good friend and confidant, Grant Mitchell, advised me that continuing with this transfusion could see me seriously out of pocket. His brother, Phil, also agreed and suggested that we all fly out to Nigeria to conduct this transfusion in person. Peggy, mother of the two lads I've mentioned, is already surfing the net for the best ticket prices to Nigeria.

Linda Adams

I received your massage detailed that it will be of your interest to make a trip down here in Nigeria, l like your suggestion. lt will give me the opportunity of meeting you before the consignmentgets to your country London. I am now seeing a situation where your presence here will make this transaction more easier for us. You must have to arrange your self properly because this will definitely take you up to a week stay here. Further more your presence here will enable you to see the consignment and you will help to convey the consignment to your destination in London. For your information due to your absence in Nigeria Barrister Anthony Ibeh have been the signatory to all the documents acquired in high court of Nigeria. Some of the fees which we are suppose to pay was cut down because of the sympathy they have on me as a widow. Your presence here in Nigeria might attract more fees. From what I told you earlier on the meeting which I had with the board of Directors of the security company that I have concluded all the necessary arrangements on the delivery of the consignments to London. I suggest that you go ahead and pay them for the change of ownership certificate fees for that will be the last payment we have to make for the consignment to move to London. l will stop here until l hear from you.

Anthony lbeh

l got your mail. The ldea coming to Nigeria is good, we are looking forward to meet you.
l told you on my last mail l sent to you that ones the change of ownership of consignment is made the fees need to be paid immediately. Remember to use western union money transfer to send it on my name Anthony lbeh the location is Nigeria, then you forward the details of the payment to my mail box.

Our reply

I've just read an article on the Internet relating to Western Union money transfers and I would much rather bring the money with me to Nigeria to complete this transfusion as it appears that money transfers are unsafe.

Peggy is booking the flights for myself, Grant, Phil and possibly Minty, if he can get time off from the garage he works in.
I'll email as soon as I have the flight details.

Anthony lbeh

Good to hear from you, we are waiting to see you in Nigeria soon. Did you go through the mail l sent to you properly, l told you that ones the certificate is change and issued to you, payment follows immediately, because some of the fees is for the Government, Mrs. Linda Adams should have told you about this, after seven working days of issue, lf the payment is not made l don?t think that the certificate will be valid to the Government and to the security company.

I don?t understand what you mean by reading an article on the Internet relating to western union money transfer, explain to me.
This is what we have been using to receive small amount of money for years now.
lf you go through the details of the charges again you will see that only $1000 dollars is for the legal fee the rest is for the Government.

I am advising you to come to Nigeria by 19th of August to pay up the ownership certificate fees or send the money to me so that l can balance the fees to the Government

Linda Adams

I hope that you are fine. Your coming will make things easy for me, am waiting to see you. On the meeting l told you l had with the directors of the security company they demanded for the delivery fee charge, l told them that since you are not in Nigeria that delivery fee charge will be paid to them in London after their delivery, and they agreed.

The delivery fee charge is $25,000 dollars, so since you are coming down to Nigeria you will come along with the money. If they see you in person you must pay the fee before they take off to London.

Because of this I suggest you come with about $40,000 dollars so that it can cover hotel bills of you and your friends
I forgot to tell you that lf you don't pay ownership fee charge to the government of Nigeria after about 7days of issue the certificate will be invalid.
So try and pay the money to the attorney before coming to Nigeria.

Our reply

I've only got about $20,000 in cash hanging about the place at present, but Peggy has agreed to remortgage the Vic after Ian Beale refused to lend me the additional $20,000. We've managed to book the flights with Air France to Abuja, Nigeria, arriving on Monday 21st August at 21:15. We're staying at the Protea Hotel Abuja , and will someone be meeting us at the airport?

Anthony lbeh

l don't understand you, l told you to come on the 19th been saturday or to send the money before coming, you are telling me that you are arriving on monday, lf l don't receive the money on saturday been 19th l don't think it is necessary coming because the certificate will be invalid, and l will not start the procedure again.

Linda Adams

Our reply

I'm afraid that the boys have already left and will probably be on their flight right now. Should I try and contact them to explain that their journey is no longer required?
No doubt they will be far from pleased and I'm not sure if I can control Grant and Phil if you muck this deal up!

Our reply

We've just landed in Greece and are awaiting our flight transfer to Nigeria, however I've just received a call from Peggy informing me that the deal is now off!
Minty is trying to calm down Phil and Grant who are causing havoc and mayhem in the airport terminal. You've probably seen it on the news.

Anyway, it cost £4,000 for the flights, which are now a waste of our time and money, so I expect this money to be reimbursed as soon as possible.
Please send the cash via Moneygram or Western Union and let me know as soon as you've wired it.

Linda Adams

who told you that the deal is off, are are show that you want to do this transaction, the phone number you gave me is not working from the day you gave the number to me till now l told you to call me before leaving from the airport to Nigeria,you never called. The fees of the ownership documents you are suppose to paid you did not pay it l am not sure that l can continue with you to this transaction

Our reply

Anthony said the deal was off due to the fact that we didn't send the money before Friday! I never received any communication regarding sending the money before we left for the airport, so I assumed that I would simply hand over the cash when we met.

This really is a sorry state of affairs and has taught me a lesson when it comes to dealing with unprofessional businessmen from your country.
After consultation with 'Fat Pat' and 'Dirty Den', we have decided that no further correspondence can be entered into regarding this matter.

THE END
