Lilith replys. However it seems she's already chating to one, Mariam Abacha. How is the scammer going to steal Lilith? (How many obstacles can Lilith put in the way before Mohammed gives up?)

Hello Mohammed,

I have recieved your email. Perhaps your mother did not tell you this. But I am 
already working out the "modalities" with her, as she put it. Your mother, 
Mariam has already put me in touch with the security company. Is there some 
change in the plan? Is this why you are contacting me now?

29/01/2003 12:23AM

Now, the start of the obstacles...

Hello Mohammed,

I've read your email. I have to say I am very confused. When did your secretary 
begin to impersonate your mother. The security company is very insistent that I 
contact them. I already made plans to travel to Amsterdam. Why didn't Mariam try 
to contact me another way if she did not hear from me? Please, can you get your 
mother to email me.

Miss Lilith Cova


29/01/2003 10:28AM

The scammer changes personality and becomes Mariam...

My dear lilith,

I found words quite inadequite to express the agony that i am going
through,as a mother i have lived a very fulfiling life,and i have
touched the lives of so many people both far and near positively and
all i have gotten in return is pains,even the so called close
associates of my late husband turned the way round in my time of
grief,when the government is bent on seizing all most everything that
i have all my life worked for,i visited each and every one of them
for assisitance but they turn their back on me,some of them still
serving in this present regime.

I was unable to contact since this change in plans due to a court
case involving my eldest son and some muslim elders concerning the
issue of sharia and the recent cancellation of the Miss World beauty
contest originaly scheduled to take place in Nigeria,as a mother my
grief is too much,but i have instructed my son Mohammed to contact
you and let you know what is going on .

Lilith,i know mohammed has told you how my secretary became a problem
to me,a lady i picked up when she was a young girl fed her and
treated her like my own child,is now becuase of my problems with the
government she is trying to aggravate it for me.

Please,you should stop your communication with holland as mohammed
has informed you,i am to reschedule the consignment to spain where
nobody will be aware of,i honestly do not know if my secretary is
working with the secirity operatives,but for security reasons.

You should also give no attention to any mail from my former email
box,mohammed will get in touch with you tommorrow to give you the
contact of the security company in Spain.

I am anxiously waiting to hear from you upon your receipt of ths
mail,do not worry everything is under control.

Mariam.


29/01/2003 10:32AM

So Mariam when exactly did you lose contact with me?

Hello Mariam,

I'm glad I'm in contact with you. But I am confused. Which date did you lose 
contact with me, Mariam? I need to know which emails are really from you and 
which are from your trecherous secretary.

Miss Lilith Cova


29/01/2003 10:36PM

Ahh so the secretary is to blame?

Dear Lilith Cova,

I write to acknowledge the receipt of your mail.

You see our secretary has been working for my mother for the past 7years,and she 
has come to be one of us until recently out of greed,she is trying to put all of 
us in problem.

You are aware that since the death of my father Late General Sani Abacha,the 
present civilian government has been trying to make life difficult for my 
family,all our bank accounts both at home and abroad frozen,all we have left is 
this money and we cannot let it be confiscated again,so you can understand our 
precuation and the sudden change in plans.

I have discussed with my mother,and she has decided to contact you later today 
after attending to some pressing family problems in the villa,but she has also 
instructed that you should ignore any mails comming from her former e mail 
box,everything is still intact,just that our former  secretary is trying to put 
this transaction in joepardy.

In the light of the above,we are going to change the plans since she has been 
dismissed and she will not be privy to the new plans,all this is to avoid 
security operatives from tailing you in Amsterdam,please is for your own safety 
too,i am deeply concerned after all this transaction marks the begining of a 
lifetime family relationship with you.

Considering the above constraints the consignment will be redirected to the 
clearing house in Spain,where it will safe for you and us.

My mother will be contacting you today for further directives,in the 
meantime,cease any communication with the security company in Holland and do not 
respond to any mail from her former email add as she has discontinued using it 
at this moment.

Please be guided.

Mohammed.

Mariam comes up with an explanation.

My dear Lilith,

You have recieved my mail of yesterday,i did explain the whole
situation to you.

What really happened was i do not know how to write very well with
computer,so my secretary handles all my correspondences for me,she in
other words does the typing of all my letters for me.

She has eventually changed my password,that is why i told you that
whatever mail that comes from the e mail address you shoud ignore.

All i am trying to do is to safegaurd my family wealth,we have
virtualy lost everything in the hands of the government,let me also
state her that i am not going to let this money go,i have told you
all i need to tell you for your own safety,personally i do not have
anything to lose,rather i can call the consignment back.

Please do not endanger your life,as a mother i know what i am talking
about,mohammed is of the opinion that they are still contacting
you,but concern is that she might be working with security
operatives,and on your arrival in armsterdam,they might pick you.

Lilith,i am after your safety,but it seems that from the mails that
those miscreants are sending to you,they are hitting more on the
money,my dear your safety is more important than the money.

I have told you yesterday,that the consignment will be re-routed to
spain,it is only you,me and my eldest son mohammed is aware of
this,and please do not,i repeat do not repeat do not inform those
miscreants about this new moves in other not to jeopardise the new
arrangement.

Finally,lilith i will not forgive if after all this explainations
from me and my son,and you still went ahead with those miscreants to
do anything that will make me lose this money,i will fight with my
last blood,alli am telling you here is to be careful,i know this
country more than you do.

Attached below is my picture and the picture of the money my son took
when he was packing in the trunk boxes.you should make arrangements
to be in Spain,upon your response to this mail,i will ask my son to
give you the contact information of the security company in spain.

I am waiting for your response

Mariam.


30/01/2003 8:41AM

Hmm... lets try a different tack. Lilith will send multiple emails to Mariam to exert abit more pressure.

Hello Mariam,

I am still very confused. So what you are saying is that I've never really been 
in contact with at all? All this time I have been talking with your secretary 
since she does all your emails. Have I ever received an email that your wrote 
yourself? Or has this always been through your tracherous secretary. What about 
the phone calls? I was talking to your secretary all the time? What about the 
emails when I mentioned the phone calls? I don't understand. How can your 
secretary deal with your lawyer behind your back? What about the security 
company??

Lilith Cova

Second email to Mariam, more insistent

I emailed the security company they have said that the shipment is there and 
waiting for me. I think you are the tracherous secretary who is using the Abacha 
name! The security company has said that they has had the shipment for several 
years now and it is impossible for another security company to have the boxes 
and ship it to spain.

Lilith Cova


31/01/2003 10:23AM

Abit of a rocky start with the first email, the second email was sent probably cos the forst one was too harsh.

dear Lilith

I have received your mail.but you actualy sound as if you are an
illetrate,how can they tell you that the consignment has been there
for several years,do you know what that means? it means that since
then these years nobody has come forward to cliam the consignment,so
the questions now is,why didn't security company in Holland return
the luggage as unclaimed.

Or are you the one paying for the cost of storage the consignment
over these years?why has the security have to hold on to the
consignment over the years only to contact you now,beside a security
company does not own a luggage,all they do is collect luggage from
customers for shipment at a cost,and if you did not come forward to
claim your luggage on arrival at it's destination within 2 weeks,it
will be returned back to the source of destination.

Ask the security company,why should they congest their wharehouse for
over the years with consignment that the owner cannot be
identified,then who is payimg for the "DUMMURRAGE" which means
additional cost after the 2weeks has elapsed.

Ask this simple questions,they are not telling you the truth,how i
wish i cauld see you face to face to tell you that you going the
wrong way.i believe you are a graduate so you should know how the
shipment of consignment is done and how long you will need to allow
your goods stay even in the ports.

You cannot keep a goods even in the ports for ever,after a vertain
time it will be auctioned.they are not proffessionals in Holland if
not they will know these simple facts.

mariam

===============================================================================

Dear Lilith,

I have as a mother and a woman explained the whole situation for you.

My secretary out of greed,connived with some person yet unknown to
frustrate this family.i mmediately is suspected what was going on
after i discovered that,since was all the while typing my earlier
mails to you,you know that this internet of a thing is just new in
Africa,and most of us are not used to it,that was why my son had to
contact you.

Like i told you,everything is ok,we had to re-route the consignment
to Spain becuase of security reason,for your sake and our sake,i do
not know how long you will want me to keep explaining this,or do you
want to be apprehended in Amsterdam?

Please i have already warn you,do not say i did not,stop responding
to the them.

Mariam.


31/01/2003 5:09PM

Umm eventually even the scammer must realise that if he wants Lilith to believe him, he'll have to unravel

Hello Mariam,

How dare you call me an illiterate! Perhaps you need to find someone that is 
literate to help you then. Obviously my literacy skills are not up to your 
standards. I did not know that a refuge will be so picky finding someone to help 
her. 

Let me explain what has happened so far. It seems like I have not even 
communicated with you before. You emailed me the security company documents 
showing that the shipment has been placed at the security company by Sani 
Abacha. The shipment was sent to Amsterdam by diplomatic courier so it would be 
closer for me to collect. And now you are saying you can re-route the shipment 
to Spain. Yet the security says that the shipment is still in Amsterdam waiting 
for me to collect. So are you going to tell me now that the security company is 
lying to me? What about your lawyer, does he not know what is happening? I so 
confused now!

Lilith Cova


3/02/2003 12:02PM

Backpedalling by Mariam

Dear LILITH,

I am indeed vey sorry,i did not mean it that way,i am only trying to
express my frustration in trying all this while to convince you about
the situation without any progress.

My dear i am only after the safety of you and my family,why?because
if anything happen to you in armsterdam,may be you get caught,you
will definately mention my name and my family name.that is just my
concern.

You see,my attorney is coniving with my secretary in this whole
confusion,ok can you send to me the last mail to you from my attorney
for my perusal.

Ihonestly do not know about that security company in amsterdam,you
are contacting them despite all my warings,let me ask you,is money
more important than your life? i have re-routed my consignment to
Spain as simple as that,if still wish to go to armsterdam,please go
ahead and let me have my peace,but well whaver happens,i have warned
you and please do not mention the ABACHA FAMILY.

I will be waiting for your response with the last mail to you from my
lawyer.

all my love.

mariam


3/02/2003 12:03PM

Scammer makes up the "new option"...

Dear Lilith,

I wish to thank for the efforts that you hve put in this transaction
right from the inception.i quite appreciate,is just that i am faced
with a situation that i never been faced with.

I have gone through a lot,i have been betrayed by friends and
associates,you see my dear that money is only thing that my family
have left,i would not allow anybody to truncate my plans of
transfering the money safely,but in the same vain,considering all my
discussions with you via phone concerning this,we suggested that we
should channel the trunks to Holland,and i am telling you now that
something is going on,that you will be arrested in armsterdam,i need
that money so also you need your percentage,but what is life in jail
at the end of the day without the money.

My son,mohammed has suggested that since my secretary knows too much
about this transaction,since she was doing all the tyoing,that we can
call the trunks back,then with assistance of some friends,you can
receive the money through a corresponding bank in Canada,that is bank
to bank payment,under this arrangement,you will not need to travel
outside your country.

The proceesing of the payment will be done by mohammed and the money
transfered to your bank from a corresponding bak in Canada.

My dear,all i am trying to do is to protect my family and most
importantly you.

I will be waiting to hear your views about this new option.

Mariam.


3/02/2003 12:04PM

Well Lilith will just has to hammer home the inconsistency...

Hello Mariam,

I read and understood your email. I wish I could call you and talk to you but as 
you know I have a problem with my throat which does to able me to talk loudly. I 
didn't know your lawyer and your secretary are in it together. But is the 
security company in it with the lawyer and secretary? You faxed me the documents 
that said the trunks were in the hands of "Standard Securities" I have email 
standard securites and they have assured me that the trunks are still in their 
possession in Amsterdam and that I should go to Amsterdam as soon as possible to 
claim the trunks. And you say that you have re-routed the luggages to Spain. 
Where is the evidence? Please can you tell the security company to email me or 
fax me the documents showing that the trunks have been re-routed. Oterhwise I 
will be travelling to Amsterdam becuase that is where the trunks are.

Lilith Cova


4/02/2003 1:43PM

Mariam plays the security card... Perhaps this will frighten Lilith away?

Dear Lilith,

I just came to the VILLA only to find your mail.you worry too much my
dear,i will want to talk to you,you can call me on this number,it is
a secured number (234)803-3003-122 for us to conclude this deal once
and for all.

Sorry about the problem with your throat,yes lilith i did fax you the
documents that the luggage is with "STANDARD SECURITIES" before this
betrayal of trust and set-up started.i have been informed that
security operatives(INTERPOL) have infilterated the standard
securities holland concerning this transaction,all they are doing now
is working according to the instructions of the IMTERPOL just to lure
you to come to armsterdam and get yourself arrested.


Why do you chose to swim in trouble waters,my there the money is
intact,you are the one delaying the whole operation,you do not want a
situation where you will sit in your country,and we prepare all
documents neccessary to have the money tarnsfered to your bank
direct,why do you chose to go to armsterdam and spend the rest of
your life in jail.is up to you.

just call me,mohammed sends his regards.

Please i do not wish to have aything to do with standard securities
holland becuase i do not want them to be privy of our next line of
action,i am a very cuatious person.


Mariam.


4/02/2003 1:44PM

Perhaps the last straw... How will the scammer continue after this effort by Lilith?

What are you talking about Mariam! in your previous email you say I should be 
very careful about this transaction and you said that the transaction was 
"100prcent risk-free". Now you are saying that Interpol have taken over the 
security company. The shipment is lost then!! If Interpol has taken over the 
security company then they have my address and a copy of my passport! I don't 
need to travel to Amsterdam, They can probably arrest me in London! I scared 
now!! You promised me that it this was risk free. Now I am sure that Interpol 
will be out to arrest me! Do not call me, the police probably already have my 
phone tapped. What if they already had my phone tapped and recorded the 
conversations I had with you before?

Even if you prepare all the document now, what good will it be? Interpol will 
still be on to me, they have my home address and passport numbers. I have to go 
into hiding! I'll move out of my house. I have to vanish so I don't get 
arrested!

Lilith


5/02/2003 10:39AM

The scammer seems to respond by sending an large amount of email that is contradictory at times...

My Dear Lilith,

I have just received your mail.I introduced you to this business and
i did tell you that it was 100%risk-free,and it has been like that
until my ex-secretary and my attorney out of greed decided to
frustrate me and my family,and as somebody i introduced into the
business and as somebody i love,i quickly asked mohammed to contact
you immediately at least so that you can be aware of what is
happening and for us to make amends for security reasons.

I have taken almost one week to talk you about your own safety not
evn mine and it seems that you zeal to claim the consignmnet is
blinding you to reality of life.So what can i do,i have done what i
cauld do as a mother and as somebody that introduced you to the
business,i was of the opinion that since i am here monitoring
things,you should be able to listen to me and follow my instructions.

Right,now the security operatives do not know what is happening,you
aware that my late husband was a former head of state,so i still have
some friends within the security network.they are having feelers
given to them by me secretary,so what they needed was for you to
visit armsterdam and they would have gootten their lead,and that is
why the security company is bent on your going to amrsterdam even in
the face of imminent danger.
My dear,do not run away from your house,nobody is looking for you,it
is the transaction that they are after.nobody is arresting you as
long as you avoid amsterdam.

I have told you that we can channel the consignment to another
neutral country,the security people got feelers from my secretary
that something is being shipped to amsterdam,but right now my
secretary is out of the way,i did ask you to stop responding to their
mails,but you won't just listen.

Lilith,your percentage in this transaction is still inatct for you,as
for your address in amsterdam,it does not matter since you did not
appear there.any new plans is going to be between you and me and my
son Mohammed.

So my dear,stay in your house,and nobody is after you,but the
transaction ok.

So how are you?

I waited for your call,do not worry your lines are not tapped.

i will waiting to hear from you.

mariam

===============================================================================

My Dear lilith,

This is my secound mail to you today,why?due to the tone of your
mail.

I did forget to explain to you in my earlier mail that i did not mean
that the INTERPOL is seeking for either you or my family,what i meant
was that since this betrayal by my secretary and my attorney,who
knows how far they might go in other to achieve their selfish ends.

Thatyou never can tell,since they are aware of the original
destination of the consignment Holland,they might after futile
efforts in their treacherous act decided to set us up(you and
me),which i am sure they would have done by now,they might open
up,and security operatives will then be waiting for you in
armsterdam,the only way out is just to avoid Holland.
Is like a business man,when you have a feeling that this country is
not convinient for you to do your business,the only option is to look
for another country,i am a very cautious woman.

So my dear do you expect me to still claim the luggage in holland
with the situation like this,we have to avoid entirely.

Now all i want from you is to let me know another country that will
be okay for us to claim the luggage,and please stop responding to
their mails ok.


Mariam

===============================================================================

Dear Lilith,

This is my secound maila to you today,why? due to the tone of your
mail.there was something that i omitted to explain to you in my
earlier mail to you today.

I didn't realy mean that interpol is looking for you,what i meant was
tha since my treacherous secretary and my attorney is aware of the
original destination of the consinment- holland,the possibility of
them setting us up is very high,and the only option is to avoid
holland,is like a businessman,when you are not confortable doing
business in one country you can move to another country.

So all i am saying in essence is that we should put heads together to
see which other country that is only known to you and me that will be
convinient for us to cliam the luggage.and please do not respond to
them anymore.

I am waiting for your contribution.

Mariam

===============================================================================

My dear Lilith,

I am sending this third mail to you out an emergency situation.

I have just finished discussing with a family friend,a diplomat in
the villa,i narrated my ordeal and the present situattion of my
consignment to him and he has agreed to help us out this situation,i
cannot but feel the deepest joy.

He will use his diplomatic inmunity to ship the trunk boxes through
diplomatic means to a clearing house in London,then you can claim the
trunk boxes in London under his strict guidiance,i believe this is a
better arrangement.

Please let me have your opinion on this,so that we can proceed,if
possible can you get a new telephone line,so that it will be for only
you and i can be communicating to avoid distration from those
unscropulous elements that have been calling you.

Your opinion is highly appreciated.

Mariam. 


5/02/2003 11:18AM

Umm the location is in London now... Interesting, I wonder how many strings the scammer had to pull to get a London operative

Mariam,

Where will the trunks be to ship to in London? To the embassy?

I'm staying low at a friends place at the moment. Just in case Interpol are 
looking for me. The security company has my address in London and if Interpol 
has the address they will come and look for me.

Lilith Cova


6/02/2003 9:08PM

Even more back-pedalling...

My Dear Lilith,

I am in receipt of your mail.i realy did not mean that the interpol
is looking for you,what i meant was that due to how desperate my
secretary was she might go to any lenght to set us up,but i have good
news for you,the diplomat friend of us did inform me today that
nothing of such is happening after using his diplomatic influence to
make enquiries.so you need not to hide,come out and leave your normal
life.

The diplomat friend will use his influence to freight the trunks to a
clearing house in London,there we will pick up the trunks,

Since we now know that my ex-secretary did'nt go that lenght,you can
now call me strictly via this number (234)803-3003-122 for us to work
how we can clear the trunks.

I will be waiting for your call.

Mariam

I will be waiting for your call.

===============================================================================

My Dear Lilith,

This makes it my second mail to you today,i have just received a call
from the diplomat friend of ours.He has re-assured us that from his
investigations,that my ex-secretary did not go that far of involving
the security operatives,this also lends weight to my assurances to
you in my mail preceeding this.

Please everything is ok,nobody is looking for you,he has also
informed me that he has succeeded in placing diplomatic"SEAL" on the
trunks,all that is left now is for me to instruct him to freight the
consignment to London.

Right now i wish to ask if you have a confidential number,aside from
the prevoius one,so that i can talk to you,i desperately want to
speak with you,or in the alternative you can reach me on this
confidential number only (234)-803-300-3122.

call.

No phone call for Mariam...

Hello Mariam,

I'm still at my friend house. It makes it quite hard to make long distance phone 
calls at the moment. I'm still worried that the police will find out these 
activites. Not to mention your enemies that will not stop and anyting to get to 
the trunks.

Tell me the where I can talk to your diplomat friend? where is he in London? We 
have to do this swiftly.

Dear Lilith,

I waited for your call all through the night yesterday but
unfortunately it never came.

Supprisingly today,you did not reach me by mail,what is the matter?

Please update me.

Maraim

===============================================================================

Dear Lilith,

I thank you very much for your mail,i quite understand your
situation,however,our diplomat friend called me early this morning to
inquire why we are still holding the process of freighting the
consignment to London.

I did inform him that it is from your end,that we are ready,i
narrated your fears despite my ceaseless counseling to you in that
respect,he did assure me that he has placed diplomatic "SEAL"on the
trunks and so the trunks is covered by diplomatic inmunity,so also
the diplomatic inmunity covers you the beneficiary of the trunks.

Above all,by tommorrow i will give you his contact information so
that you can talk with him,although he had wanted to remain
ananymous.

Regards,

Mariam. 

===============================================================================

On his arrival,he will call me to give me the number that he will be
using in London,then i will forward the number to you so that you can

in the offing,however by the time you call him tommorrow,he will be

My Dear Lilith,

I am indeed disturbed why you chose to remain incommunicado,i have
sent mails to you and you are yet to respond.is anything the matter?

However,like i did tell you in my last mail preceeding this one,the
contact information of our diplomat friend is

NAME:MR CHRIS BOTHA
TEL: (44)775-490-7763

You are to contact him upon the receipt of this mail,arrange with him
to assist you in securing the trunks from the security company in
London,you can also ask for his assistance concerning your fears.

I will be waiting to hear from you.

Mariam. 

===============================================================================

My dear Lilith,

What is the problem now?

I have been sending mails to you and you are not responding.

Please respond as your quietness is delaying this business.

Mariam

===============================================================================

Dear Lilith,

I have been mailing you and you have not been responding to my mails.

Are you ok,please i am very worried,at least reply so that my mind
can be at rest,i want to be sure that you are alright.

Mr Chris Bothat have been expecting your call,please call him as you
know he is will be leaving London very soon to his base.

Please respond,i do not know the phone number of your friend that you
are staying with,i would have called her to at least inquire about
your welfare.

Mariam 


12/02/2003 9:26PM

Well time to stop keeping Mariam in suspense or not...

I'm still quite worried. Can you please tell Mr Botha to stay in London for a 
little while longer. I need to solve a problem before I meet him. I'll try to 
phone him as soon as I can! 

Lilith Cova


18/02/2003 11:33PM

A couple of days delay and Abacha is emailing every day...

Dear Lilith,

Thank God you finaly responded,iwas very worried.

Please whatever is the problem try to share it with me after all we
are friends,even if i do not have the answers to your problems but at
least i will offer an ear that listens and a heart that understands.
My Dear,the earlier you share your problems with people close to
you,the better or you can still share it with Mr Chris Botha,he is a
family friend and as long as you are from me he will be obliged to
help to the limit of his ability.

Above all,i will try to call him later today to see if he can stay a
bit longer in London like you suggested,but you can still call him.

Awaiting your reply and please take good care of yourself

Mariam

===============================================================================

My Dear Lilith,

How are you today? i spoke with Mr Botha last night and he did
express displeasure over your not too committed attitude towards the
transaction.

He is of the opinion that his stay in London is strictly to assist
you in securing the trunks borne out of the relationship he has with
my family.

He has asked that you call him immediately bearing in mind that he
will be reporting to his duty post in a short while.

Please try to call him ok.

Mariam.

===============================================================================

Hello Lilith,

Why are you deliberately causing me pains.

What is this problem that you are sorting out that will not allow you
to make a call or respond to mails.

How long is the trunks going to be at the security company in
London,even our friend Chris Botha,he is not stationed in London,he
wants to go back to his station i kept telling him that you will
call,and up till now you have not called him.

Lilith,i do not know what you are facing but remember that this man
is an asset to us being a diplomat.he will assist you in securing
this trunks,please do not let us miss this opportunuity.

I am desperately expecting your reply.

Mariam

===============================================================================

Hello Lilith,

Why are you taking this long to respond to my mail.

Why are you causing me great pains,you do not listen to somebody,why
are you like this.

Do you want the trunks to there in London forever,

Please let us conclude this transaction first then you can sort out
hatever problem that you have.

Have you called Chris Botha yet?

Please respond,

Mariam


18/02/2003 11:39PM

Looks like Lilith has to go on the run...

Hello Mariam,

Sorry about the delay... But I am very scared at the moment I have not ventured 
out of my hiding place for the past few days. The other Mariam has said that due 
to the money I have already paid I cannot back out of the deal. Something about 
a probelem with the "anti-terrorist" certificate. If I back out now they said I 
might be branded a "terrorist"! They are asking for more money so that my name 
will removed from all documentation. What should I do? Can you do something to 
your secretary to allow me off the hook?

Lilith Cova


23/02/2003 8:00PM

Man this scammer just doesn't give up! Ok now to try to up the ante!

Hello Lilith,

How are you?you see the problem i am having with you is that you have
refused to listen to wise councelling,i did tell you that you should
responding to that scrum of a secretary,i told you that she will put
you in touble but you won't listen.

I am at a loss why you chose to deal with low profile people like my
ex-secretary when a diplomat was waiting for your call all this while
just to assist you but you ignored that,instead you were dealing with
people that want to put you into touble.

I have been hammering it into your head that my concern is your
safety that the trunks is in London,and that somebody of high
standing in the society with diplomatic immunity will help you out
but your sturborness has made you fallen to this cheap blackmail.

I am a mother,and i will not hold you to ransom like she is doing now
because of anti-terrorist certificate,even there is no mother who has
children of her own that will behave in that manner ,this goes along
way to tell you that she is not me.
All the same ,i will help out,i will use my contacts to secure an
anti-terrorist certificate for you but please stop responding to
them,they will not stop at this,there are desperate.

Please,my dear i beg of you stop all communication with them,when
will you require the anti-terrorist certificate.

I am waiting to hear from you and how is your friend.

Mariam.


23/02/2003 8:00PM

Umm now to introduce a hint of danger

Mariam,

What am I to do? I have already paid much money to the other Mariam. How can I recover that money? Do you think I should contact the police as see if they can help? I think I'll do that. Hiding like this cannot continue!
