FROM:Mike Odili

Dear Sir,
I am contacting you based on good recommendation I have of you from a mutual associate who had in confidence assured me of your reliability and trustworthiness to represent my interest in matters that are of immediate concern to me.
I was a serving General, "now retired", with the past
military administration of my country and by virtue of my past appointment I was privileged to have secured for myself huge sums of money which I intend to place in to one or several profitable business investment opportunities there in your country where it has the potential to grow. Back here in Nigeria, I have a vested interest in property development and over the years while in service, I had accumulated a considerable number of properties, residential and commercial alike.
However, on the birth of democracy, a probe was set up to check on the financial excesses and mismanagement of government funds by past serving officials of the then military administration of General Sani Abacha. This development exposed a lot of financial misappropriation within various government
parastatals in so much that the present civilian government had to pass a bill whereby those found wanting in one aspect or the other were compulsorily restricted from travelling out of the country pending the outcome of investigation on them and worse still those perceived to be living above their income, had their personal properties confiscated. Their accountsalso were frozen, Local and foreign alike
Though I lost so much to the government, I was still able to retain a considerable sum of money in Foreign bills, precisely US$12M which I have in cash sums.
This, I intend to invest in your country. And since I desire to settle with my family outside Nigeria, I will require you to purchase a comfortable home for me there. Prior to my trip to join you, we shall discuss on possible investment opportunities available and perhaps conclude arrangements on how I may have the funds with me moved to your country. However, in consideration of our banking policies as enacted by the government, I cannot make a direct deposit of these funds into any bank here, as such move will
immediately make me a subject of investigation. I am however at the verge of concluding negotiations on an
alternative means of getting these funds out and as soon as I am sure of my arrangements I will require you to hold these funds in proxy pending my arrival
in your country.
If you are willing to assist me in this desperate need, I will want you to reach me through my above contacts so we may discuss conclusively. While I await your soonest response, I remain

Yours faithfully,
General Mike Odili(Rtd)

(How could I resist such a plea. A house, General? But of course.)

My Deer General Odili,
Thank you for your interesting letter. I am always pleased to hear from a colleague. I am also active in property.
I was wondering what kind of house you would require. Could you give me some details regarding the number and ages of family members, pets and servants? And also what kind of neighbourhood you have in mind; urban, suburban or countryside? Personally, I have only the one member of staff, Mrs Willson, who is my housekeeper.
Yours very sincerely and faithfully,
Kilgore Dykes

(These details matter.)

Subject: sorry I was out of town

Dear Dykes,
I was pleased when I saw your mail as I returned from calabar where I went for a meeting, the contents of your mail was well understood and is very straight to the point; you are my type of person not wasting time at all.
My family members are all very happy with your question concerning the type and area which they would like to live and they suggested suburban or even country side but dont you think suburban would be good?
I have sons ages 17 and 20 my daugther is 15, about my housekeepers I dont think they will be coming with me except my nephew; ofcourse my pet is a ship dog and is loved so much by my family members, do tell me if it's possible to come with her.
One thing my dear friend, I believe you understand why I need your assistance, it is imperative that we focus on getting my fund over to your custody quickly so that we can go ahead to finalize when to come.
Thanks and my due regards to your family,
Gen Odilli

(What a lovely sounding family, and he's so kind.)

Deer General Odilli,
Many thanks for your message and what I regard as a great complement. When a distinguished officer commends me for not wasting time, that is very real praise indeed. I am honoured, sir.
If my understanding is correct, you will be requiring a five-bed-roomed house, (plus a spare for guests), in a suburban setting. This is the kind of home I have, and I find it very pleasant. It affords some of the advantages of both city and country dwelling. The facilities are within easy reach, and it’s also possible to enjoy a pleasant stroll on Sunday afternoons, so as to enjoy some coffee and cake.
As your pet is a ship dog, several vaccinations and a short period of quarantine will probably have to be endured. I apologize for the bureaucratic stupidity of my country on this front. It’s something to do with the possibility of rabies apparently. I’ll try to find out more. I thought a quiet area of Hamburg might appeal. This town has a
picturesque port, which your canine friend will doubtless appreciate. There’s always plenty to do, see and sniff. It also offers excellent sailing facilities and a near-by international airport. There are plenty of interesting opportunities in the property market too, should you wish to pursue you business interests.
I’ve heard of what sounds like a suitable house in the suburb of Saint Pauli. It’s on a quiet street called Reeperbahn. I shall try to find out more. I do hope it’s becoming of your status. It’s a very exclusive area.
On the other matter, I’m presently checking up on the tax situation. I appreciate you wouldn’t want any unnecessary delays, given your valiant service to your homeland, but you’d also appreciate the importance of good intelligence. I have read several books on Napoleon, and so I have some knowledge of how generals think, albeit second-hand.
If this capital were to simply arrive in my usual bank account, it would be regarded as highly suspicious. I think we would require a quieter conduit. Liechtenstein or the island of Sark spring to mind. Their regimes are much more trusting of human goodness, and more or less tax free. I hope this meets with the approval of your experience.
My family were most honoured with the regards,
Yours most sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

(As he's got a ship dog, I thought he'd like some ships.)

Subject: Thank you for your message

Dear Dykes,
It is good of you to have made extra effort in making sure I and my family gets a suitable place as you and your family have also.
My dear you dont need to bother yourself on my wanting another area but I do know you have my interest at heart; the place you have now will do go about it as soon as possible and do please make arrangement for the condusive state or country you mentioned that will require low tax and no eyebrows ok, I really do appreciate your thinking, you are highly capable I can see that you know your way enough for me to trust you with my funds which I have no doubt at all you will keep in safety till I arrive; Dykes dear , if you dont mind my using this tone [!?!], please do give me figures and estimates of the house and tell me how much tax will be required of us over there when the funds will arrive.
When you have made the necessary arrangement let me know for I am waiting for the bank name and address and also the account which the money will be lodged,on receipt of your mail I will not hesitate in furnishing you with the information that will be imperative in this course.
My family is more happy now that you have given me the look of their new house to be, well soldier see you soon and be hearty.
Due regards,
Gen Odilli

(How friendly. I must find those details.)

Deer General,
It’s not a good idea to count the
chickens before they hutch, but things are looking very promising. I’m traveling to Amsterdam this weekend to meet an accountant, Jan van Dryver. A friend gave me his name, but I didn’t divulge the true nature of the transaction. I said I was helping an Arabian businessman, who needed some information on anexorated banking in Europe.
I’ve just spoken to Mr van Dryver on the phone, and he wishes to acquaint me with the ins and outs of establishing accounts on Sark, which is one of the smaller Channel Islands. He informed me of this official Government homepage, which you might also like to reconnoiter:
http://www.sark.gov.gg/~mbeaumont/
The opening sentence is extremely interesting, "The economy of the island is very different from most jurisdictions in that, not having income tax, the wealth of the state is only marginally related to the wealth of the residents." The only forms of taxation appear to be import duties, landing fees and a small tax on property, none of which apply to the transaction you have in mind. This financial regime sounds very trusting of human goodness.
I also hope to have more news on the house shortly. One of my apprentices is looking into the preliminarial details, which allows me to concentrate on the more demanding secondarial and thirdarial aspects. I find delegation very sagacious.
I’ve always had a respectful admiration for those who serve their country in the armed forces. I was never able to do so myself, due to an accident with a hay bailer, which severely damaged my right arm. I’m very impressed by the disciplined and thoughtful way in which you are directing this operation. Your military background reeks through. I hope you don’t object to a personal question. Timothy, my son, wonders if you had the honour of conducting your soldiers in the field of combat. I’ll quite understand if you’re unable to sate his curiosity, given the justifiable need for military secrecy.
Yours highly sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

(I hope van Dryver knows the name of a suitable bank.)

Dear Dykes,
Good day and happy easter with lovely thoughts to you and your family, I was going to write you before you wrote; all the same it is wonderful to have your mail at this time that I needed to know how far you've gone in our plans. You see my dear friend I have seen the site and the island and my remark is so lovely nothing than a beautiful place but what lies there is how are we sure that we are really going to be comfortable with their constitution concerning such money that is coming from us Please your judgement at this time will be highly welcomed as you know I trust in your observation and your capabilities in what we do; actually I love quiet places but not so lonely a place I mean as in not having to see help when one needs it but I know the island is ok.
Dear friend I am very sorry that you could'nt possibly serve your country in the military but at the same time you did and you are still doing it by being who you are which can not be changed,(the love for your country)patriotic indeed by virture of your integrity. My friend you have one thing coming from me my frienship that is all I can offer that will mean anything,I am terribly sorry for your arm I do wish accidents never happen. I must confess that your son timothy is a curious young man and intelligent too, may be some day we sit and talk more about my escapades, Yes I did conduct my soldiers in the field of combat with such severity and thoughtful calculations that the enemy would only imagine, during the civil war in my country before the biafran soldiers surrendered I was the commanding officer with the 58 battalion and it wasn't easy as you know the enemy is your rival. I hope I have tried to answer timothy and tell him I sent my regards.
I hope for you to conclude everything and inform me as soon as possible, so we can forge ahead with utmost carefulness.
Waiting and anticipating your affirmative response,
Due regards,
Gen Odilli

(Deer General, we won't need to live on Sark. I'll this reply when I get back from Amsterdam.)

Deer General,
I was very impressed by Mr van Dryver. He certainly knows his stuff. While Sark does indeed sound an interesting place for a short visit, it won't be necessary to go there. It'll simply be a venue of convenience for a number of bank accounts. These will be operable from elsewhere.
My apprentice has looked into the matter of the property, Reeperbahn 24. I've been able to negotiate the price down to 485,000 Euros. I don't know what the market is like in Lagos, but this represents good value in Hamburg. Houses are expensive but they're a safe investment. There's also the option to purchase a quarter hectare paddock of adjoining land, which is suitable for several horses, should that appeal. This is zoned as green belt, which means that it can't be built on. The worth is thus relatively low; 65,000 Euros. Again, such a parcel won't lose in value. I own a couple myself. Should the zoning regulations ever change, it can very quickly appreciate in price; perhaps by a factor of ten. This doesn't occur often, but it's not unknown.
If you like, I could place a deposit for you, either on the house alone or with the paddock. This is the first thing I need to know.
Secondly, should I start opening the bank accounts? Mr van Dryver's advice suggests we should deploy an anti-filter model. Filters make water clearer whilst anti-filters makes matters less transparent. This is a form of financial camouflage.
Thirdly, Timothy was deepful thankful and impressed. He presently wishes to become a paratrooper. He looks forward to perhaps hearing more. He'd like to remove the poster of Martin Pieckenhagen, (the goalkeeper of SV Hamburg), from his bedroom wall, so as to reserve a space for a signed photo of yourself. Would you object to being hung alongside the remaining players of SV Hamburg? They don't risk their lives in combat, except perhaps in matches against northern rivals such as Werder Bremen and Hansa Rostock.
Yours very sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

Dear Dykes,
Good day and I hope the journey wasn't tiresome;thanks again for your efforts I will definitely show my appreciation be sure of that. As regards to the home I do think the one at reeperbhan will be ok or what do you think? even in lagos houses are not cheap come to think of it; its rather tough to even getting a better one like the one I believe you've seen, please do keep it if its really good.
My friend I was really impresssed about the account being operable from anywhere I mean we wont be staying at the island rather we can have acess to our money which is agreable to me cos I've thought about my children's education, nice of you to have thought of everything I had thought of too.
Do You want to place a deposit now for the house and the padock cos I would love to own a padock my self as you own some yourself, will it be ok to pay for it when I come or immediately the money is lodged in the new account you are going to open immediately? tell me the one that is best since the property is not yours directly and one other thing I like your financial advicer's idea of anti filter, yes it will be good to have a camouflage account but please let it be safe I am not thinking of losing my fund. Remember that I am using you as the beneficiary of the fund so that I wont be suspected by my government at all since they seized my houses in abuja claiming the houses was among the ones the late General Abacha gave us as gift from the looted money, it was all lies they needed something to hold on to for the long time the military has remained in power, well I really blame Obasanjo the president of this present administration he knows the international community is keeping tab on him so he wants to play the saint. Do be assured of my word; as long as you represent my interest YOU alone will be highly rewarded.
I guess You and your son timothy are a funny pair and great company to be with, sincerely I will come with my large army picture with my signature wich will be signed in front of timothy for honors sake on his behalf he will surely hang it in the space that he has provided. tell him I love him for according me such a place in his heart.
To you my friend, best regards,
Gen Odilli

(Timothy and I are a funny pair. For one thing, he's a bird.)

Deer General,
I'm honoured again, Sir, by your best wishes, and am gratified that my endeavours meet with your approval. In order to safeguard Reeperbahn 24, I've put a deposit on it. We'll have time to sort out the payment niceties after your arrival.
As regards the anti-filter, I envisage setting up six A accounts, four B accounts, six C ones and one D account, the end destination. If you send installments into the A portals, these will then slosh around the various other levels until arriving at the D. They'll be steered by a "Zufallsgenerator", (a random number generator. The plan happens to be drafted in German.), so as to maximise murkiness. The bank, Sark Mercantile Union, provides a PIN-key, (a secure private number). This allows clients to view the traffic in all their accounts per internet, which is very practical.
With your agreement, I'll begin opening accounts and will send the numbers and status; A, B, C or D. Then I'll be able to forward an e-mail address, which you can use to activate the system.
It's totally secure, as you can over-ride any random transactions, and transfer all funds back to their account of origin at any time, should you so wish. You will thus have over-all control. Bear in mind that the object is to transfer the funds from A to D. Quite what takes place in the B or C is mere detail.
Timothy is very pleased about the picture. He's decided to leave the goalkeeper in place, and has removed the striker Romeo instead. This is due to the 0-0 draw against Bayern Munich on Saturday. Tim's also taken to practising saluting in front of the mirror. It looks quite cute, with his little face so earnestly set.
Yours thoroughly sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

(That sounds straightforward enough.)

Dear Dykes,
I am very glad that we are doing this business together, infact it's sheer luck that I could be able to see and enjoy your capabilities as regards to our transaction which is very important to me as far asI'm I'm concerned. Dykes you surprise me with your exploits [My exploits can indeed be surprising.];I mean way you work swiftly and cautiosly you will be well rewarded believe my friend, what you're doing is exactly what I have been thinking how to do my self. Thanks so much for the deposit you've made on the reeperbhan, yes when I come we will take care of that.
Dykes I do wish you will be fast in opening the accounts so that we commence immediately. Do give me your details, I mean your phone and fax numbers also your mailing address for it is necessary for the papers that will aid us in the transfer as you are definitely the beneficiary it is with trust and believe in your ability and honesty so bear in mind that you merited it. please quickly round up so we can finish everything withing an expected short period of time.
This one is for my son and dear soldier friend timothy, ask him if he loves chess because I will get a chess game that I will be playing with him all the time, tell him I care too and He will be surprised that I know how to play ball too.
Best Regards,
Gen Odilli

(Phone number, fax number, postal address? I'll see what I can come up with.)

Deer General,
apologies for the abruptness of this message, but time is pressing, and I still have to investigate the quarantine regulations for your dog.
I've opened the first wave of accounts with the Sark Mercantile Union. The Pin-key is 1825, but this can be changed by yourself to whatever you wish. For security reasons, the e-mail address and url will both arrive seperately. Upon your reply, I'll be erasing this message from my computer drive, so please keep the details safe.
So far, I've established the following accounts:

A 309-512-792-5
A 837-906-114-3

B 296-307-545-4
B 927-513-648-7

C 370-430-482-3
C 741-278-363-9

D 463-581-149-2

I have a small problem with the phone and fax numbers. I'm ashamed to say this is a detail which I foolishly overlooked. I haven't yet got a number which is secure enough. My work phone operates via a shared switchboard and the home number, whilst private, might raise eyebrows on my side. Mrs Willson often answers it. She's a fine housekeeper, but not the soul of discretion. Furthermore, Samantha, our daughter, sees the phone as her personal property! Being the age she is, Sam assumes every call must be for her. She chats endlessly with or about boys and is a bit giddy.
I've just bought a 3-in-1 phone/fax/copier, which I'm installing in my study. This will take a short while, because I don't properly understand telephonetics. My deepest apologies for this failing. I'll forward the numbers post-haste expresso. I should have foreseen this.
Timothy is very impressed. He does play chess, though not very well, and he also enjoys a game called Risk, which is about conquering the world. He's just updated his birthday list. Walking with Dinosaurs has been replaced by a book called Desert Fox: the Life of Field Marshal Rommel.
Yours very sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

(Timothy's also asked for a copy of Mein Kampf. I'm starting to get a little worried.)

My plans are for the Central Bank to execute this transfer because they are the only institution that is enpowered to transfer such lumps of money by T/T which is very acceptable by me and would be safe, dont worry about the Dog issue so much I believe we can always find a way after the relevant matters have been taking care of, dear friend you should be thankful to God that you have children that can liven up your home it is fun and you know girls at their teenage age use to be very dificult in terms of stuborness so bear and find a means so we can take care of everthing properly, again I must tell you that you have really impressed me but let's not go further than what we should do for the onward transfer of this fund and my immediate arrival in your welcoming country I suppose. Please do send my regards to your household especially Timothy my pal tell him he need to learn quickly because I am not going to spare him at all that is the battle strategy, see you my dear friend.

(The deer General has a point about being merciless with strategy. Never give a hamster an even break.)

Deer General,
I'm most reassured that I have no need to apologize. That's very kind of you, Sir. I've also found someone who might be able to help with the dog issue. Dr Stiermist is the local vet. His main business is with cattle, though he nods aquaintedly with family pets. Dr Stiermist has promised to look into the matter.
I've managed to set up the phone-fax-copier in the study. It's now hopefully functional. The tel-number is (0049) 40 / 4155-01, whilst the fax is (0049) 40 / 4155-1060.
I've also established a couple more accounts, which are now available:

A 524-637-231-6
A 158-724-627-5

B 612-195-004-0

C 785-042-396-1

General, your abilities never cease to amaze me. A war hero, yet a devoted family man. A property trader who also plays chess and ball. You can hardly imagine how impressed I was, when I noticed the $642.000 which have safely arrived in account number 309-512-792-5, and the 328.000 in account 927-513-648-7. I don't know how you've managed these transfers so quickly.
Your observations on battle strategy were most inspiring.

Thanks for your message. The name indicated will do. As is often the case in business, I find it convenient to use various names, and that's one of them. (My given name is Kilgore.)
Am I correct in understanding that you've not begun transmitting the money? If so, whilst not wishing to focus on the issue, I find this most mysterious. The accounts are active. I've just checked and a total of $3,985 million is now sloshing around. Have you perhaps got an associate who is helping you with this? The money's already arriving.

Dear Dykes,
Yes I believe you,it is really mysterious if you dont know how it's happening and I know you want to be clarified.It is not mysterious to me but rather amazingly and wonderfully swift, yes 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, I really want to be sure that the rest of the money will be safe as intended for its puporse.
I've told you earlier not to assume anything but you are still assuming in your mind if I'm really the one effecting this transfer or not, well be rest assured that you havent seen nothing yet as more will be coming. But first you have to know about this problem concerning the anti-terrorist certificate and the drug free clearance certificate which the apex bank accredited lawyer said we should have should in case if we are being asked to produce them in order not to look stupid after our success, Do be swift in giving me answers to all my relevant questions because I wouldn't want anything to jeorpardize this transaction as you know we have come along way, Dykes everything is in place, yes your name is alright and the approvals were in your name as the beneficiary, the lawyer told me we are done.
One thing I want to know , how quickly can we have access to part of the fund so that we can take care of the certificates I mentioned above, how soon can a retransfer be effected because you know I that dont have tangible cash with me at the moment cos all this fund were deposited without such situation being put into consideration. Can we move $500 thousand dollars asap, my friend the lawyer said that he cannot go ahead with the rest of the transfer if there are no basic assurances on this side with his bank that this money will be very secure so as not to work for nothing and I agree with him. Do intimate me if you have drafted the agreement letter I asked you to execute for fairness sake.
Dykes why havent you provided me with the website of the bank as you promised? I cant acess the account as you told me I can.
Mind you that why the accredited lawyer is saying we should have those certificates gotten quickly is for no one including him not to be dissapointed, once3 again thanks for your thoughtfulness about this type of banking transaction that wont give room to our loosing any penny of this fund,tell me Dykes have you been in this kind of business before? well I guess it all works out for good to those who work and believe.
Tell me how soon I have to send an account from the lawyer to make sure he takes care of that side of his headache cos he is doing his job.

Dear mr Dykes,
This a follow up to my mail this afternoon. I tryed to call you on phone, on number(4940415501) but it was on answering machine, and responses language was on (dutch German language).
Atually, we are geting some where with the movement of the fund. I am trying to avoid the banks here in Nigeria because most of them has certain percent shares with the goverment and most of the directors are government apointees, I dont want to involved them because of the secrecy of this transaction.
I will perfer sending the money with the Diplomatic courier service to Hollland in trunk boxes to a securities and finannce utility to handle the transaction and you will receive the fund there because it is convinent for you to receive it there and avioding heavy taxation and I hope you understand that I dont want anybody or the government to know that I still have such huge amount cash. I hope this option is perfertly ok and secured from intruders, please call me on this number(234-8023033304) so we can discuss details.
I will call you tommrow before 12.noon on your telephone number Nigeria time if your phone is ok.

Deer General,
Your man’s certainly acting swiftly with the transferals. I just checked. $7,450 million are now sloshing around. You’re a shrewd judge, General. He’s very efficient.
Regarding the draft of the agreement, Germany is a bureaucratic country and documents have to be carefully crafted. The legal system is very demanding. I had to sack one of my staff several months ago. I found he’d been feeding information to the opposition. He had the cheek to demand a reference. On consulting my lawyer, I discovered I had to write him one. Otherwise, this scoundrel could have sued me for defamation and disruption of his future career prospects. The lawyer wasn’t impressed with the words I chose, which translate as "despicable, cheating skunk-rabbit". That could have landed me in court too.
I’ve had him draw something up:
Geschäftsvertrag zwischen Hr. General Odili und Hr. Trevor Dykes,
Aus den angegebenen Zutaten einen Knetteig bereiten. Die Hälfte des Teigs durch einen Fleischwolf mit Spritzgebäckvorsatz drehen, Spritzgebäck formen und auf ein mit Backpapier belegtes Backblech legen.
Für die Linger Brötchen aus dem restlichen Teig walnußgroße Kugeln formen und auf ein mit Backpapier belegtes Backblech geben. Mit einem Holzlöffelstiel in jede Kugel eine Vertiefung drücken und mit Gelee füllen. Backbleche nacheinander in den vorgeheizten Backofen setzen.
E: Mitte. T: 200 °C / 10 bis 12 Minuten
Kuvertüre schmelzen und das abgekühlte Spritzgebäck damit bestreichen. I’m sorry for not forwarding the SMU website address, but I assumed you’d already acquired that information from some other source, (Military Intelligence or diplomatic), as the accounts are in full operation. For security reasons, I’ll send it disguised as a piece of advertising rubbish. I’ll insert it in the middle in the following format and with a recognition code; (TTP: website address PTT).
I haven’t had previous experience of a transaction quite like yours. It’s not the sort of opportunity that arises four times a day. I have previously been active in import deals, especially with fertilizer.
Apologies about the answer phone. I've been in Brussels. I've got a lot of mail to work through!
Yours most sincerely and faithfully,
Dykes

(Business contact between Mr Gen Odili and Mr Trevor Dykes,
Prepare a dough from the listed ingredients. Put half the dough through a shredder with a cookie making attachment, form into biscuits and place on a baking tray covered with baking paper.
For the Linger buns, form the rest of the mixture into walnut sized balls and place on a baking tray covered with baking paper. Make a hollow in each ball with a wooden spoon and fill with jelly. Put the trays into a pre-heated oven.

Iam Mrs. Marian Abacha, the widow of late Gen. Sani Abacha.Former Nigeria military head of state who died mysteriouly as a result of cardiac arrest.
Since after my husband`s death. my family has been going through immense harassment including undue police restriction and molestation.The family account with the bank here and abroad have been frozen by the government for reasons that are rather vindicative.
Our plight ever made worse by the confiscation/seizure of our family landed properties and investment in Nigeria.One of the witch-hunting search light of the government beamed on our account a Swiss bank which had a sum of US$ 700 Million in it and another US$ 450Million. Threats of freezing and clamp on the account have been too much.It is for this reason that I have decided to move the sum of US$ 60 Million in defaced form packed carefully in sealed metal boxes for reason of security.

THIS IS THE TOP SECRET CODE; (TTP: http://www.scout.se/smu/ PTT)

I humbly appeal to you on behalf of the entire family members to safe us from starvation,poverty and strangulation by assisting us move the money into your country where it shall be safe, since I cannot leave Nigeria now due to the movement restriction place on us.
You can equally get in touch with my younger son,Abba Abacha (Mr) at his email address: abbac@epatra.com he is the one who will handle this transaction it is important you reach him.
We have moved the money to a security company in europe. My son shall give you details of this confidential movement as soon as you get in touch. For the anticipated co-operation, we have set 20% of the money for you while 75% shall be held on trust until we decide on a joint venture business to do with the money as soon as we regain freedom, while 5% shall be mapped out for any incidental expenses that may arise. Treat with confident and do reply to safe us from the stifling grip of the merciless government.

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.

(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.

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

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,

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.

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,
