Igor's Mission

[commonpeople1]

Dear Mr Carvalho,
Thanks for your early mail, i want you to know that meeting with mr Igor will not be a problem, i will be happy to welcome him with my hands open.
Regarding the guards of the duplex i told you about, they are tall strong and phisically fit they can guild any where in the world, but before my Igor can come here i will want him to pay some certain amount of money so that i can prepare some government papers and pay for some government revenue tax here in west africa.
So Mr carvalho the total amount of money that you will have to pay is $3,800 so that i can start to proccess the land document before i can meet with mr Igor. if you know you are ready to pay for the documents kindly send me a mail so that i can send you the westrn union information that you will use in sending the money.
Regards
Adams Lawrence

Dr Mr Lawrence,

Thank you for your e-mail and for explaining so succinctly what I need to do next. Igor, as well as being my P.A., manages my finances. I ordered him to find $3,800 in my coffers so I could pay for your government tax and papers, but he came back and told me we only had gold coins and that he would need to have them converted into paper money. He then proceeded to take some of the coins to the port and look for sailors interested in buying them. He was gone for a long time (which is why I haven't replied earlier to you - I was so worried he'd been captured by those men who seek to destroy me that I couldn't bare to visit our local internet cafe.) When he came back, he told me crazed tales of sailors and ships no longer existing at the port, of people laughing at him when he showed them the gold coins and calling him a fool.

You might wonder Mr Lawrence what I did next. Well, I gave Igor a beating! How dare he tell me these lies? Does he take me for a naive babe? I know the world we live in; I know that my gold coins are still valuable and can open any doors I wish to enter.

Finally, after skulking around the crypt for a while, Igor suggested hiding the coins inside statues of the Virgin and taking them to Africa with him. He will be stowing away inside the next boat that departs England and after a few weeks at sea, will arrive at your country and give you the coins. I'm sure you will be able to sell the coins and get the money needed to secure the land for me.

Please let me know if this plan seems a good one to you. If you are happy with it, I shall send you a photo of Igor so you can recognise him when he arrives.

With warm regards,

Mr Carvalho

But how crazy will my story need to get before they give up?! ;-)

Maybe Igor gets attacked by pirates lead by a Mr Harker or Herr van Helsing? ;-)

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

Well, Mr van Helsing better not mess with Igor... he's got some secret fighting skills under his sleeves!

You've seen 419eater I presume.. so quite some way yet!!

wow, this is getting exciting. How long before you get the land? Will you build a guesthouse on it? I guess Nigeria doesn't have that many tourists.

[commonpeople.livejournal.com]

There's a duplex already on the land, so I'm assuming it has at least one or two guestrooms. Also, I have security guards so maybe there's a separate house for them? I need to remember next time to ask if there's a pool.

It's sea port, not airport! Neither myself or Igor like to fly.

I was going to say "you'll have to cross your fingers they ask for it" but I just checked my fake e-mail and it looks like it's your lucky day. ;-)

Ollie, darling, this is getting extra hilarious now!
You rock!

Haw!
I tell you it is so hard to find trustworthy P.A. s these days. I just don't know why using gold coins have become such a complication.
