Dear Mr. Benjamin.

I am very much interested in helping you in this endeavor.

Please let me know what you might need me to do.

I read your attached letter and I completely understand your predicament. However if you are soliciting others to help you, keep in mind that I would be willing to take a smaller percentage if necessary. Perhaps 22%?

If on the other hand, you are not asking others for help, I would like to know if you can increase my percentage to 28%.

Also, I am presently “between phones”. Therefore all business must be conducted via email.

Thank you.

Quaylon Potpie
Senior Accounts Manager
Vladdio Hyperbolic Engineering, Ltd.

PS. What is your last name if your first name is Benjamin?

Attn: Quaylon Potpie.

Dear Sir,

This is in accordance with your mail response regarding the business deal proposal which I sent you, I just want to appreciate your interest in working with us in this lucrative and profitable deal and at the same time want to highlight that this transaction requires 100% commitment in all corollary, so for this, it makes this transaction very huge and not something to play with, please do bear with me for my language. In addition, I want to apologize for the late response, my team was representing the department on a conference in Kenya, so we only arrived yesterday evening.

However, the amount involved is $34.7M United States dollars only, and at the moment the fund in question is still the bank vault awaiting application for claim, so all we want to do now is to effect an immediate change of beneficiary of the contract sum to your name and have the fund moved for our use, I want you to know that as far as we am concerned, no one knows about the existence of this fund except you and my colleagues.

Meanwhile, before we can proceed in this voyage, you have to furnish us with some vital information that will be helpful for the success of this project. these information I will be requesting, will help in the procurement of all relevant legal instruments/contract documents that will legally make you a contractor and the bona-fide beneficiary of this fund. Note that I will engage the services of an attorney here and I will take care of the attorney because the attorney will be representing you here and also he will be in charge to secure/procure all the required documents from the high court of justice and other government institution concerned.

I want you to know that the fund in question will come to you as an unclaimed/unpaid contract fund, so you have nothing worry about okay because everything will be done legally and legitimately, so for this I urge to furnish me with the below listed information so that we can proceed without wasting time.

1). I need a copy of your international passport or a copy of your driver's license, (scanned).
2). Your office or residential address.
3). I need your personal/direct telephone/fax numbers.
4). What is your profession?
5). What is your marital status?
6). Do you have investment account co-ordinates where this fund will be transferred?

As a matter of urgency, I want you to furnish me with the above listed information in the next 24 hours please, so that we can start work in this project and I will be making an immediate contact to some international business attorneys here and see what their services is like, then I will compare their requirements, but please send this immediately and do ring me as soon as the information has been sent.

Thanks for your anticipated co-operation.

Dear Mr. Benjamin,

In answer to your requests…. You’re making this all a bit difficult.

1). I need a copy of your international passport or a copy of your driver's license, (scanned). I have a passport (aren’t they all international?), not a driver’s license, but it may take me a few days to get it scanned.

2). Your office or residential address.
My office address is
1901 North 15,551st Street
Numero Uno, New York 11208

3). I need your personal (I never give out my personal number)/direct telephone (I can give this to you when it becomes absolutely necessary)/fax numbers (I’d rather not have faxes come to me at my office. I want to keep this arrangement private. I’ll purchase a personal fax machine if you believe it’s important).

4). What is your profession? Senior Accounts Manager of Vladdio Hyperbolic Engineering – Current project is Rust Observation.

5). What is your marital status? I don’t know why this matters to you but if you must know, I am single. If you have any good leads, I might be interested.

6). Do you have investment account co-ordinates where this fund will be transferred? Yes I do.

I too am eager to move along in this endeavor. Let me know what else you need.

And by the way, you never told me if Benjamin is your first name or your last name. As you can see Potpie is my last name but some people assume it’s my first name. I don’t know why.

You have a GREEN LIGHT from me. Time to boogie.

Quaylon

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your swift response, and I want you to understand that I am not making things difficult rather all that I have requested from you are very vital for the success of this project and without these information we cannot secure/obtain all the relevant legal documents that will back this project.

Secondly, passport is passport, so if you have a passport it is okay and all you have to do is forward me a scanned a copy before Thursday this week, and it is very important you secure a private fax line because some institutions concerned in this project will prefer to communicate through fax, so it is very vital you secure the fax line.

However, I have noted all the provided information and we will be meeting with the attorney this evening to start the execution process of this project and by tomorrow I will highlight you on the outcome of the meeting and the progress so far, but don't forget to furnish me with the copy of your passport.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Dear Ben,

Thank you for giving me a few days to secure access to a scanner and a fax machine. I directed my man-servant, Chickie (he is also my brother…. It’s a long story) to get me a fax machine.

The way I calculate it, 28% of 34.7 million US dollars is $9,716,000. I told Chickie to get the very best fax machine money can buy. I don’t believe that it should cost me more than a thousand dollars. But that’s nothing compared to the money I will be receiving, right?

In the mean time, is there anything else I can be doing to speed the process along?

I really don’t want any delays once you receive all of my information.

Quaylon

PS. I noticed that your last name is Mtuli. You probably know this but that is a very common name. We have a Boswell Mtuli working here in our offices. Also my mailman’s name is Mtuli – but that’s his first name. I also know a prostitute named Mtuli. Her first name is Simone, but everybody calls her Lefty. Care to guess why?

Sir,

Thanks for your responses to proceed further in this transaction with you and I promise you will not regret it if we work with mutual acuity, understanding and commitment and I believe you understood all the details on how this transaction will be executed without any form of Snag.

So do find attached the claim application letter which you will have to send to the CRT for the initial claim, do download the attached claim letter, fill in your name and other required details and forward the application to the CRT on the email address stated on the application.

As you transmit the application letter to the CRT, please be at alert on your email or fax as the CRT will send you the Dormant Account application form to fill, like I wrote in my previous mail which will enable them start the whole process.

Furthermore, in the issue of mode of sharing of the fund, I want you to know that I am a man of integrity and as the case has been, there is no need of being greedy because no man is an island, I needed someone to make this a success and that someone happens to be you, like they all always say, every laborer deserves wages and since both of us has major roles to play in this project, the sharing proportion will be like this. So Sir, I have decided to offer you 25% of the total money and 75% for us, It is like this because we initiated this business deal and we believe that this sharing proportion is quite good from our own point of view, or what do you think?

Please it is very important you keep me posted on any development from the CRT and please in no circumstance will the CRT have an idea that I am involved in this claim, so take heed.

Thanks for your co-operation.

Mr. Benjamin Mtuli.
