Dear Dykes,
I had to remind you that you still havent given me the url of sark mercantile union bank, is it true that it failed sometime around 1873 or there about? I need to keep track of the fund.
Best regards and have a nice weekend,
Gen Odilli
(Oh dear. He didn't get my messages. They've gone and closed his account down.)
Deer General,
I sent the address yesterday evening, buried in the middle of a piece of junk mail for reasons of security. See
Subject: This is junk mail: TOP SECRET!!!!
However, as you appear to have changed your e-mail account, maybe you no longer have access. In which case, these are the two messages I sent... (The same messages as yesterday).
It's the one marked "THIS IS THE TOP SECRET CODE".
Timothy sends his regards,
(I hope that helps.)

Dear Dykes,
I have to let you know that it was immediately I informed you about the status of the transfer that I started having problem with my yahoo account, my pasword would be taken, I just cant acess it; please do not entertain any mails from that box to avoid inpersonation. I really have tried to call but I guess something is wrong with our network here, DO make sure you dont disclose anything to someone who claims to be me for security reasons that you should be very aware of, mind you the accredited lawyer has prepared for the certificates I told you of which must be gotten for the safety of our fund, once again I tell you I've not checked your reply because I cant acess the former mail box, so do be fast in making sure you dont give out any information to any body concerning this deal incase you've sent an email to me do readress it.
How is timothy your son? I hope he is bouncing arround, my daughter said she would like to make friends with your daughter; she would even like to talk with her, but I told her not until I have your permission, I think you have to advice on this my friend, note that I have made it clear to the lawyer to know that on no account will he slack on getting you online to tell you all himself as regards to the anti terrorist certificate and the drug clearance certificate.
I await your affirmative response asap,
Yours sicerely,
Gen Odilli
(I'm certainly looking forward to your response, General. Samantha would love to be friends.)

Dear Mr. Dykes,
I must inform you. Your mails are actually confusing.
Could you give me your real telephone number, as I said before this telephone number 004940415501 belongs to Hamboug Sport Club, a man that answered my calls, said that there is no name like Trevor Dykes on that line????
What is your telephone number? I like to talk to you on phone so that we can discuss details. Let us match ahead on the transaction. Let me inform you that I am fully committed to this business with you , as from now on , this is the code for this trasnsaction - TRANSACTION CODE--- TRE-ODI and any e-mail or fax without this code is not from me and please verify from me and forward the information to me for autentification.
I informed you on my last mail that I don't banks here in Nigeria to be activilly involve due to reason you've known , restriction and avoidance of intruders. I have planed to move the fund to Holland so that you can travel to Amsterdam to recieved the fund. I will you to indicate seriousness to received the money in Holland and represent my interest .
The fund $7.450 sloshing around, where is he from I will like to have more information on the remittance and transfering bank name including the payment slip . I have $12.millon to entrust into your custody and wishing to hear from you very urgently with your current telephone number.
Please call me as soon as you received this e-mail on my telephone number 234-8023033304 very urgently.
Extend my greeting to your family and son Timothy.
Best Regards.
Yours truely,
GENERAL ODILI.
(This was in the General's previous message, "because I cant acess the former mail box." Someone's not telling the truth.)
Deer General,
I'm finding some confusion too. I was contacted by another General Odili
earlier today, who informed me this address (odili5000@yahoo.co.uk ) could
no longer be accessed. He also sent his regards to Timothy.
You have given me no information which might not have been gleaned from the
messages attached to the foot of this one, so that I'm unable to verify
which General Odili is the true one. Then again, neither did he.
There seems to have been a serious breach of security, which is very
disappointing. I don't know what to suggest.
Yours very faithfully and sincerely,
Dykes
(Perhaps I should just keep the money.)

Dear Sir,
I am the legal adviser to General Mark Odili who by my available records is your business partner, it will also interest you to know that we are instrumental to the success of the funds transfered into your variuos nominated accounts. Sir before we finally conclude the transfer of the whole sum into your account we have deemed it necessary that it is very important that we secure this following certificates to avoid any unforeseen problems from the international community for money laundering and anti terrorist 1)Drug money clearance certificate 2) anti terrorism certificate. This two documents are highly needed to secure this document from the eyes of the international community of the above subject matter. Sir, you are therefore expected to transfer the sum of us$510,000.00 dollars to an account that I will provide for you on monday. Make payment of us$10,000 dollars through western union money transfer on monday Unfailingly to enable me process the affidavit for the procurement of this certificates, then transfer us$500,000 dollars to the account to be provided. Make this transfers from any of General Odili's deposits in your variuos accounts. I am sure that General himself has highlighted you on this development;make the western union payment in my name:Augustine.O. Arukwe, I have tried severally to speak with you on phone without getting through hence I decided to send you an email, after discussing with the General, hence he has traveled out of town. YOU can reach me on telephone number 234-1-7757849 and fax line 234-1-7594465, the slip of the payment of the ten thousand dollars made through western union and the payment slip of the swift telegraphic transfer of the five hundred thousand dollars should be sent through this fax line or to this email address and be communicated via telephone conversation for confirmation by you. Thanks for your anticipated response, Austin Arukwe esq(CBN ACCREDITED)
(He can't type and wants $510,000. I think we should have three generals.)
Deer Gentlemen Generals,
this transaction seems to be growing highly complex, due to the unexpected number of Genral Odilis. I must apologise for the various character tests and probing questions, but I was trying to establish which of you is the true General. I assumed that a man of lesser quality would expose himself through his manner and short comings.
I didn't expect that all three of you would show yourselves to be so distinguished, with a highly credible military bearing.
Here, in essence, is my predicament. I have established an anti-filter of accounts. This money belongs to General Odili. I'm now corresponding with three General Odilis, and I don't know which is the right one. Furthermore, two of you have insisted that I shouldn't divulge relevant details to impostors. Have any of you gentlemen got any helpful advice?
For your information, deer Generals, I am sending this identical message to all three of you.
Yours very faithfully and sincerely,
Dykes
(I don't expect it'll worry them.)

Subject: (TRANSACTION CODE TRE-ODI) BE WARE FAKE GENERAL
Dear Mr Dykes,
To be frank, I had a night mare and sleepless night as I recieve your mail. Due to my military training, I don't take events or actions lightly, because anythingcan happen at any time!!!.
Offcourse, I do vitualize lapse or breach of security with the internet system due to the survillance mountained by the Nigerian Government on the past military Generals that served the Gen Sani Abacha Military regime, that is why I wanted to have your telephone number, in order to call you and remove this business from intruders and internet bugs.
All the same, everything is still okay. Please send me immediately the email address of the Fake General Odili.
Mr Dykes, my email address Odili5000@yahoo.co.uk is till accessible and my email account is active. The man is an intruder and impostor, trying to scout for information to sell to the present civilain regime. Please stop communicating or replying any of his email or any other means of communication forthwith. He is trying to create confusion.
Remember the transaction code:(TRE-ODI) tre for trevor, odi for Odili, I know that somebody might had intercepted my massage to you from the ISP (internet service provider) in Nigeria for covet reasons.
As a matter of urgency send me your: (1) Private telphone and Fax numbers. (2) Send the email address and rubbish message of the fake General so that I can read, and understand what he wrote to you and handle, discipline him in military fashion here in Nigeria for impersonation.
All my plans and suggestions on the successful movement of the funds to Holland is still okay and will be carried out immediately with presicion through the DIPLOMATIC COURIER SERVICE as eairlier suggested.
To differentiate between me and the fake General, this is the key word:
(1) I am still Gen Mike Odili and my email address and email account still accesible and active Odili5000@yahoo.co.uk.
(2) The $7.450million Dollars sloshing arround as you said in your last message to me is not my transaction and ambiguous to my understanding.
(3) Keep using my email address Odili5000@yahoo.co.uk, the intruder has no access to the password, that is the reason he is trying to change my original email address which is impossible.
Thanks for your brillant observation, and seriousness as you said in your last mail, that you do not know what to suggest on the recent development and confusion created by the fake General, Please if you have any suggestion my dear Mr Dykes, Please your suggestion is highly regarded and welcomed in order to wage war on this scoundrel fake General.
I am wishing to hear from you very urgently. Extend my heart felt greetings to your family and your little boy Timothy.
Best regards,
Yours truly,
Gen Odilli
(That's the first Odili again.)
Deer General,
thank you for your message. You certainly sound like a man of military and
business experience. My difficulty is, so do the other two, who have both
bound me to confidentiality. All three of you sound genuine to me. I would willingly cease correspondence with the two fake Generals, but I don't know how to differentiate. If the two fakes are trying to create confusion, I'm afraid they're doing it very successfully.
I hope I can think of a solution, but I'm not having much luck so far.
Yours very sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

Dear Mr. Dykes,
I don't find it a complex matter to separate the chaff from the seed.
I must remind you that this scoundrels (intruders) are trying to scoop information to sell for a price to the present civilian regime which they can not succeed with you esteem corporation.
To paste the picture clear and precise, you can ask the fake men (intruders) to send your first reply to you dated 21st March, 2002, Time 9:20am Nigerian Time to my email address, nobody on the whole of the universe has that message apart from me, you can also ask them to send my proposal that I sent to you on the 21st march 2002, which they can not and don't have.
This is the key to the truth.
I am sorry for the state of event and development due to the intruders in my private affairs, because of this, my military orderly and personal office staff and assistant has been suspended indefinitely so that I can take care of my business.
The main problem I am having with you is direct telephone communication. You have refused and not serious to adhere to my request about your private telephone number. I hope we are not chasing shadows and jokes, which is not important in financial transaction and I don't feel comfortable again to be using emails due to my status and security of this transaction and moreover, due to the past couple of days incident and distraction to our transaction.
I must inform you that, you have to exhibit seriously and commitment by sending your private telephone number immediately or you can call me on my telephone number: 234-8023033304.
My dear friend, I must inform you that as earlier said, all modalities and arrangement has been concluded with a utility finance and security company in Holland to move this fund out of Nigeria, I am awaiting seriously for your positive response to receive the fund within couple of weeks from today.
Mr. Dykes, indicate your seriously in this deal by following my instruction and disregards junks of distraction because no one has access to my password on this email address, any other email address of general odili at any other website is not from me and not authentic.
Thanks for your cooperation and express my heartfelt greetings to your entire family and wishing to hear from you urgently and making a bold decision for the battle and victory against this intruders.
Best Regards.
Yours truly,

Letter of apology to Mr Trevor Dykes
Dear Mr Dykes,
I am very sorry to be impersonating my employer,General Mike Odili with this email address. Odili5000@yahoo.co.uk
Infact I have been suspendeed from my job at my office indefinitely and I am tendering this apology due to the scandal that erupted in my office where by I was beaten up by soldiers from General Odili's former command.
Please I will be very happy if you could ask General odili for pardon on my behalf so that I can have back my job, I understand he is your foreign business partner and I dont intend to cause confusion in your business with him, it is the hand work of proffesional blackmailers of the present civilian politicians that wanted to use me and promised me some money to discredit the general and damage his personality for covet reasons.
I will not right you again, and everything I've said before it's lies and fabrication of truth because I dont know anything about this transaction with him, I really bugged one of your mails in his files and started stupidly with the influence of those wicked officials for there own selfish reasons.
I am sorry please Mr Dykes for all the inconveniences and waste of time.I am not a RETIRED GENERAL I am just an account clerk to him.
Regards,
Mark odili,this is not my name, it's a fake internet name.
(Well, you sure had me fooled. Just imagine. I'll see what I can do.)
Deer Gentlemen Generals,
firstly, many thanks for all your helpful suggestions. I did think a few questions would suffice to establish identity but, upon reflection, this wouldn’t have worked. Somehow or other, you all have access to our private correspondence, and so all are in a position to find any answers.
To General Odili I xxxx5000@xxxxx.xx.xx:
You are clearly an impostor who has somehow usurped the General’s original account. I was notified in advance that this had occurred and you yourself have confirmed it. You informed me last weekend that the Sark funds have nothing to do with General Odili. However, if you check the e-mail sent on 11th April, "HE promised me that it will be so; his word is faithful and there is nno doubt in my heart about its credibility and his competence," you will see that this is incorrect. The General knew about it. You don’t. I don’t know who you are, Mr 5000, but you should be thoroughly ashamed. You may do as you see fit with your TRE-ODI.
To General Odili II odili_xxxx@xxxxx.xx.xx:
"have the lawyer contacted you?" (e-mail 13th April). Yes he has. He mentioned the following documents, "1)Drug money clearance certificate 2) anti terrorism certificate." You might find this site interesting. These people are very helpful:
http://nigeria-law.com/index.html
This web site has been established by the Lagos State Ministry of Justice in collaboration with the Federal Ministry of Justice.
These certificates don’t exist and nor does your lawyer or his practice. Augustine Arukwe is a research scientist with a particular interest in the xenobiotic modulation of fish endocrine systems. You may do as you see fit with your Linger Brötchen.
To General Odili III xxxx_odili@xxxx.xxx.xx:
Again, sir, I salute you. Your arguments were concise and entirely convincing. The documentation has arrived via special courier and Timothy is very pleased with the picture. Many, many thanks are also due for the hat. It doesn’t fit him yet but he refuses to take it off, even when sleeping. I will be contacting you very shortly concerning flight arrangements. I’m deeply honoured you have agreed to be my guest.
Henceforth, I shall only be corresponding with the true General Odili. Further messages from impostors will not receive any reply from me.
Yours thoroughly sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes
