Subject: ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS OF DR BEN NICHOLAS.

DEAR UNCLE SEYMORE,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY, I WAS WANDERING WHY YOU DELAYED IN REPLING MY MAIL, WE NEED TO ACT SWIFTLY TO CLAIM THIS FUND BEFORE THE END OF THIS MONTH AS DECEMBER PERIOD IN ALL THE BANKING INSTITUTION IN TOGO IS ALWAYS VERY HECTIC.

IT IS VERY COMPLICATING TO NOTICE THAT MR SANKOR WAS NOT GOING THROUGH THE NORMAL OFFICIAL WAY FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS INHERITANCE FUND WHICH WOULD HAVE COMPLICATED A LOT OF THINGS FOR MTS WANDA WILLINGS IN AMSTERDAM. BUT NOW THAT I AM AWARE OF THE WHOLE TRANSACTION , I WILL USE MY INFLUENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU INHERIT THIS FUND THROUGH THE NORMAL OFFICIAL PROTOCOLS WITHOUT COMPLICATION.

NOTE THAT THE NAME OF THE BANK THAT APPROVED THIS PAYMENT FIRST IS AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOME TOGO,(2) THE ACCOUNT WHERE THIS ACCOUNT IS IN IS ALSO CALLED AFRICAN DEVELOPMENT BANK LOME TOGO (3) THE AMOUNT IN QUESTION IS A TOTAL OF US$9.5MILLION.

Papoose??? HE MEANT PURPOSE, THE MONEY YOU ALLREADY SPENT TO MR SANKOR, WAS IT FOR WHAT PURPOSE??? , YOU MUST REALISE THAT TOGO IS A FRENCH SPEAKING COUNTRY AND MOST OFFICIALS IN THE TOP PLACES ARE FRENCH PEOPLE, THEREFORE YOU MUST BEAR WITH THEM. AND IF YOU HAVE ANY PROBLEM UNDERSTANDING ANY WORD OF HIS ENGLISH LANGUAGE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS I COMPLETED MY EDUCATION IN LONDON AND I DO NOT HAVE ANY PROBLEM WITH ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

Name/tel/fax numbers of person/persons you have paid money to in the past?: IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE TELEPHONE NUMBER OF MR SANKOH, THEN GO AHEAD AND GIVE HIS NAME , HIS E-MAIL ADDRESS AND HIS FAX NUMBER IF ANY, AS IT IS ONLY MR SANKOH YOU HAVE PAID MONEY TO.

TELL DR BEN NICHOLAS THAT YOU HAVE NOT RECEIVED ANY DOCUMENTATION TO THIS REGARDS SINCE YOU STARTED COMMUNICATING WITH MR SANKOR.

I HOPE THE ABOVE ANSWERS WILL BE ENOUGH FOR THIS QUESTIONS FROM DR BEN NICKOLAS. IF YOU HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS LEFT, THEN LET ME KNOW BY CALLING ME ON MY PRIVATE LINE 00 228 xxxxxxx WITHOUT DELAY. SO THAT WE CAN GIVE A CORRECT ANSWERS TO THE FINANCIALL CONTROLLER AS THIS WILL DETERMINE IF YOU ARE ACTUALLY THE NEXT OF KIN OF THE DECEASED. ALSO YOU SHOULD GO AHEAD AND ANSWER THOSE PERSONAL QUESTIONS CORRECTLY TOO AND YOU MUST TRY TO FORWARD THIS ANSWERS TO THE FINANCIAL CONTROLLER OFFICE BEFORE THE END OF BUSINESS TODAY.

PLEASE DO REMEMBER THAT WE SHOULD HURRY UP THINGS SO THAT WE CAN ACTUALISE THIS FUND WITHOUT DELAY.

GO AHEAD AND ACT AS I HAVE ADVICED AND GET BACK TO ME WITH AN UPDATE BETWEEN YOU AND DR BEN NICHOLAS.

Subject: Information you requested re: account of Smith B. Willing

Dear Dr. Ben Nicholas,

I'm sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I've been extremely busy this past week due to a death in the family. I hope you understand.

I have the information you requested in your previous email.

The name of the bank in question is The African Development Bank in Lome, Togo.

The balance of the account should stand at approximately $9.5M USD.

I have so far spent $4,200 USD in direct expenses relating to this matter to an attorney in Lome named Willians Sankoh. This gentleman had been referred to me by a third party who shall go unnamed at this time. This money was ostensibly to cover the travel expenses of Barrister Williams Sankoh and another party. It appears now that Sankoh was a fraud.

Unfortunately, I do not have this gentleman's telephone number as all communication with him was conducted via email. His email address is barristersankoh@xxxxxxxxxx.fr

I have not received any documentation whatsoever from Sankoh.

I hope I have answered your questions, Dr. Nicholas.

Best regards,

Seymore Butts

What's this??? Someone's trying to bait the phony barrister??? It should be noted here that Efedi and his cohort are the only individuals I have ever given this e-mail address to.

Note: Originally, I had been including the e-mail dialog between this unknown scammer and Sankoh here. But that thread quickly took on a life of its own and things quickly became far too confusing, even for me. As well, I have every reason to believe that Hans Karl is neither Efedi or Nicholas but a third party recruited by one of these mugus. Therefore, I have decided to move Sankoh and Karl out into their own separate game (see The Karl Letters).

This is to acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail message to this office dated 23/11/2004.the content was well understood and all the information’s you supplied was accurate.

Based on your accurate answers I confirm and approved you as the bona-fide beneficiary to the side fund in question. Now, i will want you to inform me urgently the way you wish to receive your payment.

Do you wish to receive your payment in cash or by bank to bank transfer?

1.If you wish to have your payment in cash I will give you the list of our cash payment centres in Europe country's for you to choose the country that will be conducive you to travel to and have you payment in cash.

2.also, I can send a diplomat to together with one of the central bank staff to your country US with your fund by packaging it into the bank vault to pay in also in cash after you must have signed the fund release document that the bank staff will be coming with. but if it will be by sending the bank staff with the diplomat you have to take care of their travelling expanses to your country.

3.If,it will be by bank to bank transfer, you will have some cost of transfer charges to pay and some taxes, some document’s to back up your fund as a free fund from drug/money laundry and terrorist fund before it can be transferred.

But the money for the above mentioned document’s and charges and taxse can be deducted from your fund if you wish so,but before it will be deducted you have to buy what we call empowering deduction FORM A from the ECOWAS to empower the central bank to make the deduction’s and charges from your fund and transfer the rest of your fund to you.

You are advised to get back to me as soon as possible to infirm me the way you wish to receive your fund.

Subject: Questions

Dear Dr. Ben Nicholas,

First off, you'll be happy to know that I haven't been in contact with Williams Sankoh for some time now. He was a very strange person although sometimes he could be very funny and personal. I think he has a very warped sense of humor. Unfortunately, he also has $4200 of my money. Which reminds me. I must endeavor to retrieve those funds as soon as possible.

Before I can make an informed decision on whether to travel to Europe to retrieve the funds or utilize a bank transfer, I would need to know the costs and other factors involved in each of these options. For example, you mentioned transfer costs and taxes. Could you give me some idea of a dollar figure?

I'll await your reply.

Regards,

Seymore Butts

Dear Dr. Efedi,

May I remind you that you DO have a little unfinished business with Williams Sankoh. You are aware, of course of the $4200.00 which Sankoh had collected from Ms. Willing on your behalf.

Ms. Willing and I are still wondering about the steps you are taking to get those funds back to us as they were obviously not used for their intended purpose.

Awaiting your reply,

Subject: GET BACK TO ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Kind Attn: Mr. Seymore Butts,

While acknowledge the receipt of your e-mail of 24 November 2004,and the content was well noted. I wish to advice you not to contact Barr.Williams Sankoh to ask the $4,200 you have sent to him for now ok. The money will be collected back from him if you wish so. If you want the money to be retrieve back from him, you have to empower me to do that, once you give me the go ahead order I will contact the chief justice here in my country that will collect the money from him without much wasting of time and send it back to you ok.

But,if his has to be done on the above suggestion, you have to make sure that the payment arrangement of your fund will concluded and comets first of all before any action on that, and you have to make sure you choose the option that you wish to receive your fund as soon as possible. You fund has to get to you on or before the end of next week as it has all the payment arrangements has being concluded by me and other top officials and the bard of directors of the central bank of Togo, your fund and your name will be recorded into the central computer today as a confirmed fund to be release by next week.

If you want to collect the money from Barr.Williams direct by yourself it will not be possible because he will not agree to release it back to you. So,I will advice you not to let this $4,200 and Williams Sankoh cost any delay in this transaction as all the arrangements of your payment has been put in place.

As you demands to know, if you wish to have your payment by bank to bank transfer, the cost of transfer charges will be 0.1% of the total sum and it will amount to the sum of $90,500 and the taxes will be $9,500 so all will amount to the sum of (One Hundred and Ninety Thousand Dollars).

But if you empower us all the total amount will be deducted from your fund and the rest will be transferred to you. And the deduction empowering FORM A is costing the sum of $6,050(Six Thousand Tifty Dollars).

And if you wish to travel to our Europe cash payment centre to receive your money in cash, it will cost you the sum of $9,500 as the cash payment handling charge and you’re air ticket and Visa fee money.

This is all it take to receive your payment, please you are advised to get back to me as soon as possible.

Looking forward to be hearing from you soonest.

Thanks,

Dr.Ben Nicholas.

DEAR UNCLE SEYMORE,

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR REMINDING ME OF MY UNFINISHED BUSINESS WITH BARRISTER WILLIAM SANKOH WHOSE CONTRACT AGGREEMENT I TERMINATED YESTERDAY IN HIS ABSENCE BEFORE A PROCURER GENERAL IN THE MINISTRY OF JUSTICE, BECAUSE SINCE HE REALISED THAT WANDA WILLINGS HAVE CONTACTED ME ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION , HE HAS ABSCONDED INTO THIN AIR AND THE ONLY TELEPHONE LINE HE HAS, HAVE BEEN SWITCHED OFF AND I HAVE ALLREADY REPORTED THE MATTER TO THE POLICE WHO ARE ON THE LOOK OUT TO FISH HIM OUT, AND AS SOON AS THEY DO THAT, THEN THE FUND HE TOOK FROM MRS WILLINGS MUST BE RECOVERED OR HE WILL DIE IN PRISON.

UNCLE SEYMORE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT I HAVE BEEN VERY DISTURBED ABOUT THIS $4200 SINCE WANDA CONTACTED ME AND EXPOSED SANKOHS DEVILISH PLANS OF CUTTING ME OFF COMPLETELY FROM THIS TRANSACTION AND ALL THAT SANKOH HAS DONE WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE.

Dear Dr Ben Nicholas,

I have given our matter much thought over the last couple of days.

While a bank-to-bank transfer would obviously be most convenient, I see that it can also be quite expensive.

Being the hands-on type of person, I have decided that it would be a great idea for me to attend in person (in Europe). I could use a little vacation from here anyway.

Also. You should know that I haven't been in contact with Willians Sankoh for some time now. Probably 10 or 12 days.

So. Where to we go from here?

Dear Mr.Seymore Butts,

I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your email dated 26/11/2004 the content was well understood.

regarding you complain of expansive on the transfer charge and taxes, maybe you didn’t understand it very well. For more understanding.

All the charges and taxes will be deducted from your 9.5million and the rest will be transferred by sift electronic wire transfer to your nominated bank account in US, this will be done if you buy the empowering FORM A of $6,050(Six Thousand Fifty Dollars).to power us to make the deductions.

And that has to be the only money you will pay or expand on the transfer until the arrival of your funds into your bank account.

And if you wish to receive your money in cash, it will cost you the sum of $9,500(Nine Thousand Five hundred dollars) as the cash payment handling charge, and you have to take care of your travelling expanses and your hotel bills on your arrive there.

Please you are divinised once again to choose any of the above option and get back to me on or before 2pm my time by Monday.If you wish to receive your payment in cash we have only two cash payment centres open for now in Europe and they are as follows:

1.Germany
2.Spain

Our cash payment in Holland and Swiss has close for the year. So get back to me urgently for me to make your payment before the 10th of next month as it has been programmed in the computer.

You are also advised to send to me your phone and fax numbers in your next email for me to use contacting you when it is urgent.

Thanks,
Dr.Ben Nicholas.

Subject: Now I understand

Dear Dr. Ben Nicholas,

I understand completely now.

One thing I should explain, however. My holding company, as well as I persomally, are on the losing end of a considerably large lawsuit at the present time. Therefore, under no circumstances must these funds ever enter the U.S., either physically or electronically. Not only will they be subject to instant taxation, the remainder of it may well end up in the hands of my creditors. Obviously I do not want this to happen.

I will be setting up an offshore bank account. I'm not sure exactly where yet. I will be in talks tomorrow with a broker to assist me in this matter.

So, I would think that the bank transfer would be the way I wish to proceed but it is my understanding that it will take a few days to set up this new bank account.

My voice number here in the U.S. is 206-xxx-xxxx

Thanks for the clarification.

This is to confirm the receipt of your e-mail message to me. there is no problem for the opening of the offshore bank account but it has to be done very fast.

So, will send the money for the FORM A so that you will sign it now to empower us to stat making the deduction of the charges while you you be opening the account, so that as soon as the account is opened there will be no delay again?.

Get back to me to let me know how you wish to make the payment if by bank to bank transfer or by Money Gram? i think that money Gram will be faster.

Subject: Form A

Greetings, Dr. Ben Nicholas,

After consulting with my offshore services broker, I have decided to open a bank account in Luxembourg. Unfortunately, this will take approx. 2-3 weeks to complete all of the formalities through the broker.

Now, I'm sure that you are a busy man and would like to have our transaction completed before this. I know I certainly would. Therefore, I have decided to deal with the bank directly. This will save an enormous amount of time.

I'll have to fly back to Seattle in the morning to pick up my passport, and letters of reference from my bank manager and my attorney. These are primarily for identification purposes. From there, I will proceed straight to Luxembourg.

Now for my question. Even though I've elected to do this transaction via bank transfer, I would like to deal with the FORM A matter in person at your payment center in Germany. After all, I will already be in Luxembourg and it would be a simple matter to grab a short flight over to Germany.

Also, I would appreciate it if you could email me a blank copy of this FORM A so that I may peruse it at my leisure prior to traveling to Europe.

I hope to have everything set up by no later than Friday.

Please get back to me as soon as possible.

Humbly yours,

Seymore Butts

Subject: Re: Form A

Dear Sir,

Kind acknowledge of your email message to me. I will not fail to make you understand that FORM A cannot give out to any person what so ever after the receipt of the form fess of $6,050. so if you wish to take a look or to receive the FORM you have to pay for it first of all.

As told you from the first time this FORM is not with me if you send the money I will go to buy it from the ECOWAS head office and send to you.

Also, you said you will be travelling to Germany to receive your payment that is very good, but you wish to have the payment over there in cash or by transfer? If its by cash the cash payment handling charge is $9,500 but if its by transfer is when you pay for the FORM A with the sum of $6,050 and it has to be paid here before your travelling.

So, update me the way you want it. How do you wish to send the money to me? It will be better by Western Union money transfer to make it faster, but if you still wish to transfer it by bank to bank I will furnish you with our agent receiving account information’s.

I will stop here from now and hoping to hear from you soonest.

Thanks,

Dr. Ben Nicholas.

Subject: Re: Form A

Dear Dr. Ben Nicholas,

I understand that you do not have this FORM A with you.

I still wish to do this transaction via bank transfer as I obviously do not wish to attempt to carry $9.5M in cash across the border into Luxembourg from Germany. However, I still have to travel to Europe to set up this new bank account.

You have to remember, as I do all too well, that I have already spent over four thousand dollars on this transaction with absolutely nothing to show for it. So you'll have to excuse me for being a bit cautious about sending even more money prior to seeing for myself that this deal will finally go through.

I hope you understand.

I am now preparing to catch a flight back to Seattle to get the documentation I will require in Luxembourg. Please get back to me with your suggestions at your earliest convenience.

Getting a little impatient, aren't they? I think I'll let 'em sweat just a little longer. I'll have Uncle Seymore go "missing" for a very short while.

I would still like to do a bank-to-bank transfer but I would also like to meet with the payment center officials in Germany this weekend to verify everything before I invest anymore monies in this transaction. I just wish to be cautious. That's all.

Sorry I'm so late getting back to you. I've been on a tour. It's my first time here in Luxembourg.

You have to understand, I don't really want the money in Germany. I want it in Luxembourg. I have opened an account here in Luxembourg specifically for that purpose.

The extra $3500 isn't a problem but can your payment staff not meet me here in Luxembourg? As I said, I don't wish to try and smuggle $9.5M accross the border.

EITHER WAY.SO IT IS LEFT FOR YOU TO MAKE A CHOICE.

THEREFORE , I WILL WANT YOU TO EXPLAIN TO THE FINANCIAL CONTROLLER EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT THIS MONEY, WHETHER YOU WANT IT IN CASH OR YOU NEED THE PAYMENT OFFICE IN EUROPE TO TRANSFER THE FUND TO YOUR NOMINATED BANK ACCOUNT IN LUXEMBOURG.

IF LEFT FOR ME TO GIVE YOU A PROFESSIONAL BANKERS ADVICE, I WILL ADVICE YOU TO VISIT THE PAYMENT OFFICE IN EUROPE AS SOON AS YOU ARE INVITED TO WITNESS EVERYTHING YOURSELF AND PERSONALY TELL THEM FACE TO FACE IN THERE OFFICE EXACTLY HOW YOU WANT YOUR INHERITANCE FUND TO BE PAID TO YOU.EITHER BY TRANSFER OR IN CASH AFTER YOU MIGHT HAVE SIGNED ALL RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FOR THE RELEASE OF THIS FUND.

I see that Efedi is back. Last night I locked him out of his Hotmail account for a few hours to make it look like some tampering was going on. Then I used his e-mail address to reply to another scam letter from "Mrs. Monica Kabba". I figured I could work these things into the game later somehow.

Now, it's extremely doubtful that Seymore Butts will actually show up in Germany and I don't really want the game to go out with a whimper. So, at this point I think I'll have the pesky "Barrister Williams Sankoh" re-enter the game. The phony barrister has always been able to give this game the kick-in-the-ass it occasionally needed when things slowed to a crawl. Maybe I can make it work one more time. Williams Sankoh e-mails Uncle Seymore a message, something I can forward on to Efedi later if I have to.

You see mr. Seymore you have being making thing so confusing for me, bank to bank transfer is something that can be dont from here, its you that told me that you want to see the cash payment in Germany for confirmation before you can make other up front payment, and i was not happy with that your statement that was why i am asking you to go to the cash payment centre in person to confirm all what you want before you pay the $9,500.

If you have paid for the FORM A i will wire your funds direct to the newly opened account in Luxembourg. However nothing is bad yet it can be done.

Please understand this mail very well and give me your answer so that i will know what to do, if you want your funds to paid to you by bank to bank transfer you have to pay for the FORM A and i will send it to you by email for you to sign and send back to me immediately as soon as its done i will weir your funds direct to the account you opened by swift electronic transfer for it to arrive into the account in 24/48 working hours.

And you will be in Luxembourg to confirm the arrival before going back to your country. But if you want it by cash then you have to move to the cash payment centre tomorrow to receive your payment and they will help you to deposit it in your account.

We have much dollar to use in paying you, but we must go by the normal procedure of the bank and ECOWAS. So please get back to me urgently the way you want it to be by tomorrow morning, i will check my mail again in 1hour time because of you.

Dear Dr. Efedi,

My weekend has been very nice. I met a very interesting woman last night at the bistro downstairs. She spent the night with me. Very nice. She has offered to give me a ride into Germany tomorrow which is interesting considering I haven't told her why I had to go or even what city we would be going to (I don't even know myself what city I might be going to).

Anyway, as I was replying to your message, I received an email from your ex-attorney, Williams Sankoh. Did you give him my email address or any information that I would be in Luxembourg? I have never been in contact at all with Barrister Williams personally. Only Wanda has and she wouldn't have given him this information.

Anyway. Williams Sankoh wishes to meet with me tonight in my hotel room. I think maybe I should. I may be the only opportunity I have of recovering Wanda's $4200.00.

If you haven't given Barrister Williams this information, then how did he know my email address and the fact that I was here?

I remain extremely puzzled. I hope you have a logical explanation for this. If you don't then something is very very wrong here.

Hoping for your swift reply, I remain yours,

I assure you, I have not been in contact with Williams Sankoh for some time and I certainly did not tell him anything about being in Luxembourg. Frankly, I am insulted by your inference to the contrary.

There are only four people that are supposed to know that I am here, Me, you, my niece who has been of great assistance to me in this transaction, and another party which must go unnamed at this time. I am in the process of trying to find out exactly who has leaked this information to Williams Sankoh.

I can assure you that it wasn't me, nor my niece. If it wasn't you, then it must be this third unnamed party who had put me in contact with Williams in the first place. I am trying to find that out as we speak.

Then Wanda sends a somewhat accusatory e-mail to Efedi.

Subject: Please reply swiftly

Dear Dr. Johnson Efedi,

What the hell is going on? How does your lawyer know the whereabouts of my uncle? I thought you had no more business dealings with him! I am truly concerned for my uncle's safety.

Please get back to me on this.

Thank you

I can assure you Dr. Ben, Uncle Seymore won't be staying cool. Uncle Seymore soon receives another, more ominous e-mail from the phony Barrister.

Dear mr Butts

My protocol officer will meet you at your hotel which is the hotel bristol in Luxemborg at 2200.

As always you must keep our transaction confidential and secret.

Uncle Seymore is obviously in great danger if he sticks around. He dashes off a couple of final e-mails before departing the hotel.

From: Seymore
To: xxxxxxxxx@yahoo.com
Subject: RE: GET BACK TO ME URENTLY

Dear Dr. Ben,

I don't think I can stay cool. I just received another email from Williams Sankoh. He says he is sending his protocol officer to pick me up at 2200 tonight. He knows where I am staying. I haven't told anyone whatsoever where I am staying. Not even my niece. How does HE know?

I should quite possibly leave my hotel tonight. I have a lady friend whom I met last night who says she would drive me to Germany in the morning. Maybe I'll get her to do that tonight in light of the recent events. Only problem is, I don't know where in Germany I'm supposed to be going. Could you inform me of this?

I have to admit, this is quite horrifying.

Please get back to me quickly. Thanks

Seymore

Subject: I have to leave my hotel now

Dear Dr. Johnson Efedi,

I must inform you that I have to vacate my hotel immediately. I have received another email from Williams Sankoh. He is sending his protocol officer to pick me up at 2200 tonight. He knows where I am staying. I don't know how he knows this. I'm the only one who knows where I am staying.

I'll have my lady friend take me to Germany tonight instead of waiting in Luxembourg until tomorrow. Unfortunately, I have no idea what city in Germany I should be going to.

Now I have to go. I'll email you at my earliest opportunity.

Regards,

Seymore

Later in the evening, a very worried Wanda e-mails Dr. Johnson Efedi.

Subject: What's happening

Dear Dr. Efedi,

What's happening? Have you heard from Seymore lately? I know it's late over there but I can't seem to get a hold of him at all. He said he would email me very shortly. That was several hours ago. He doesn't respond to any of my emails.

I'm hoping nothing bad is happening and that you can alleviate my fears.

I am anxiously awaiting your good news.

Thank you,
