Dear Barrister Johnson Coulibari,

My name is Dr. Marcus Welby. You might not know me, but you might know a Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein. He is, or I should say was, my colleague here at the Lovenstein Institute. He was an acquaintance of Rita Kone, and as I understand it, prepared to go into business with Miss Kone. However, those plans were waylaid when Dr. Lovenstein was arrested and charged with 26 counts of child molestation. A day or two after that, he tried to escape from jail and died while being chased by the police when his car went over an embankment.

I am taking you into my confidence when discussing this because I am trying to save the good image of the Institute. So I hope you will keep all of this information confidential.

Anyways, as I was saying, I took it upon myself to contact Miss Rita Kone and continue this business transaction as scheduled because I did not want Miss Kone to have any hard feelings towards the Institute.

My details are as follows:

My phone number and fax number are the same. Country code 44 07092812628

BANKING DETAILS

Account no. 7442896439-84

Account holders name Dr. Marcus Welby

Bank name South Wok Bank

Bank address

1224 South St

Philadelphia, PA

Bank fax No. 215-XXX-XXXX

Bank phone No. 215-XXX-XXXX

My passport is attached.

Thank you,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Dear Barrister,

I'm sending the money "restricted delivery", That means you can only pick up the money at a specified location. Pus, the transaction won't be trackable online (after all, it is a secret transaction we are dealing in here) and as a result, the transaction wont be posted online. I thought that was probably a good idea to make sure that you got it.

I will be sending it here:

ECOBANK COTE D'IVOIRE

Head Office Branch

Avenue Terrason de Fougère

01 B.P. 4107 Abidjan 01

Tél: (225) 20.21.10.41

Fax: (225) 20.21.88.16

Télex: 22504 ECOBNK CI / 23266 ECOBNK CI

I will try to send it on Monday morning. If I can't, I will send it on Tuesday morning.

Thanks so much,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

Email sent to the Ecobank branch in Abidjan:

To whom it may concern,

A man named Rev. Alexander Peter, will be coming to the following branch on Monday morning.

Head Office Branch

Avenue Terrason de Fougères

01 B.P. 4107 Abidjan 01

Tél: (225) 20.21.10.41

Fax: (225) 20.21.88.16

Télex: 22504 ECOBNK CI / 23266 ECOBNK CI

If he isn't there on Monday, he will be there on Tuesday morning. He will be stopping by to pick up 1,500 Euros from Dr. Marcus Welby at Western Union. Only thing is that the money won't be there because it was never sent. The man coming to pick up the money is a Nigerian 419 scammer. Be sure to get lots of photographs of him and get his identification.

___________________________________

À qui de droit, A Rev. appelé par homme Alexandre Peter, viendra à la branche suivante lundi matin.

Head Office Branch

Avenue Terrason de Fougères

S'il isn't là lundi, il sera là mardi matin. Il cessera près de prendre 1.500 Euros de Dr. Marcus Welby à l'union occidentale. Seulement la chose est que l'argent won't soit là parce qu'il n'a été jamais envoyé. L'homme venant pour prendre l'argent est un scammer du nigérien 419. Soyez sûr d'obtenir un bon nombre de photographies de lui et d'obtenir son identification.

I WANT YOU TO TELL ME YOUR MIND CONCERNING THE BUSINESS VENTURE WHICH WE ARE GOING TO INVEST THIS MONEY IN AMERICA.

WHAT IS THE ARRANGEMENT WHICH YOU ARE MAKING FOR ME OVER THE SCHOOL I AM GOING TO BE ENROLED IN.BECAUSE I AM A SECONDARY FIVE SCHOOL DROOP OUT. I WANT YOU TO TELL ME THE ARRANGEMENT YOU ARE MAKING FOR ME ABOUT WHERE I AM GOING TO STAY IN AMERICA WHEN I COME.I AM GOING TO STAY WITH YOU OR ARE GOING TO BUT A HOUSE FOR ME.BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF STAYING IN HOTEL ANY LONGER.

PLEASE DOCTOR MARCUS WRITE TO ME A.S.A.P. AND PROVIDE ME ANSWERS TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS.SO THAT I WILL WHERE ARE I AM GOING TO.

I AM STOPPING HERE TILL I HEAR FROM YOU TODAY.

THANKS ANS GOD BLESS YOU.

MISS RITA.

Hi Rita,

Sorry for the delay, but running the institute has taken alot of my time.I thought that maybe you could move in with me. We can share a room. My wife wouldn't like it, but she doesn't like anything I do.

Your attorney has sent different instructions to me which has confused me. I tried to send it Western Union, and then he turns around and tells me to send it directly to his account. He said that I "rejected" sending it through Western Union, which wasn't the case. I had already sent it Western Union.

After this new wrinkle in this transaction, I went to the Board of Directors, and they said that they had major doubts about this transaction. I asked them for the money to complete this transaction, and they complained that you haven't shown any good faith towards the institute. That the Institute is putting up all this money for you on your behalf, and you're not even a member of the institute. I asked them that if you were a member, would they then allow me to send the money to your lawyer. They said definitely. Yes.

So, I need to make you a member of the institute. I hope you don't have any objections. If not I'll send you by email the requirements for you to sign up. Don't worry. It's pretty simple and you don't have to stay a member after I send your lawyer the money.

In any case, if you recall I told you something about $350,000 dollars missing from the Institutes accounts. And that Dr. Lovenstein, just before he died, said it was hidden under a "big W" in Santa Rosita Park. Well, I've just found out the location of the money, but I haven't told anyone about it. I'm the only one who now knows this information and I do not know what to do with the money.

I have attached a photograph of the location, of where it is hidden in the park. Later on, I'm going to go dig it up. I've already bought a pick and a shovel from the hardware store and dig up that money. But once I got it, I do not know what to spend it on. If you have any ideas, let me know.

As for what schools you should go to, I was thinking of Harvard, or Princeton, or Yale. You write very well for a secondary school drop out, so I think you would fit right in one of those schools.

As for business ventures, I was thinking of you to invest in Enron, Pioneer Aviation, or in Automotive stocks like Edsel.

Thanks,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

MISS RITA.

__________________________________________

Dear Miss Kone,

I am not telling you any stories. Dr. Lovenstein is indeed deceased. If he isn't dead, then why isn't he emailing you? Because he's long gone.

I realize that you wanted to do business with Dr. Lovenstein originally, but he is dead. And I now have his job. So now you have to deal with me and the Board of Directors.

And yes, I will gladly help you out in your transaction.

And dont you dare talk to me the way you have. Otherwise you will force me to spank you, you naughty girl.

Thanks,

Dr, Marcus Welby, MD

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

Dear Miss Kone,

I have looked through Dr. Lovenstein's old records and papers, and I cannot find any mention of Mr. Ububuka or Mr. Mason. So, I do not think that they are old acquaintances of him.

I have placed the Western Union receipt away. I will have to get that scanned. Unable to do that right now due to other concerns. As soon as my hands are free, I will have it scanned and sent to you.

No, your Barrister, Mr. Coulibari did not ask me to make payment to those guys. Here are his exact instructions to me:

________________________

However as you have rejected sending the money through

the western union,for proper accountability

reasons,you are therefore instructed to send this

money through the BIAO bank(BANQUE INTERNATIONALE DE

L'AFRIQUE DE L'OUEST)

__________________________

I should have listened to him and made payment that way instead of Western Union.

I too am confused. I am wondering where the payment went. Because the Western Union offices are closed right now, I will not be able to check untill they are open.

Do me a big favor and keep the lines of communication open with Mr Ububuka. I gave you his email address (ububuka@XXXXXXX). Contact him, and try to find out who he is, where he is, how he got the money, what he did with it, etc. And then turn that information over to me.

Thanks,

Subject GOOD CO-OPERATIONS:

Recipient Werner Lovenstein

DEAR UNCLE MARCUS!

I AM SURPRISE WITH YOUR EXPLANATIONS.

(1) MY LAWYER DENIED RECIEVING 1,500EURO,AND HE DENIED KNOWING UBUBUKA AND MASON,AND I AM CONFUSED THAT YOU SETTLE ANOTHER LAWYER HIS FEES WITHOUT CONFIRMING THROUGH ME OR COULIBARI.

(2) MY LIFE NOW IS LIKE BEING IN DANGER WHILE BECAUSE,IT SEEMS THAT SOME BODY SOME WHERE WANTS TO GET MY MONEY TO HIM/HER SELF.

YESTERDAY;I CONTACTED A CHURCH PASTOR WHOM HAS ACCEPTED TO HELP US OUT WITHOUT APPLYING ANY LAWYER,BUT HE DEMANDS THAT YOU MUST COME DOWN TO ABIDJAN,IVORY COAST TO MEET FACE TO FACE WITH HIM AND ARRANGE ON HOW BEST THE FUND WILL MOVE TO YOUR COUNTRY WITHOUT PROBLEM FROM ANY PARTY OR PERSONS UNKNOWN TO US.

HIM THE PASTOR INSTRUCTS THAT YOU'LL MUST WITH IMMEDIATE EFFECT STOP COMMUNICATING WITH ANY PERSONS CONCERNING MY MONEY UNLESS ON HIS DIRECTIVES. HIM THE PASTOR DEMANDS FOR YOUR PERSONAL PHONE NUMBER FOR QUICK COMMUNICATION.

I MYSELF HAS MAPPED OUT ANOTHER PERCENTAGE THAT WILL COVER ANY EXPENSES YOU MIGHT INCURE ON THIS TRANSACTIONS.

AS SOON AS YOU SEND YOUR PHONE NUMBERS THE PASTOR IN QUESTIONS WILL COMMUNICATE YOU FOR GOOD CO-OPERATIONS.

THANKS,

SINCERELY YOURS;
