Helen wants to buy her son a laptop

This is a pretty short episode with a scammer. My friend W.D. gave me the message shortly after he got the response. Clearly this dingbat didn't have a great grasp of the english language, so he kept trying to use the universal language of numbers to try to get his point across. I just wanted to test his resolve and see how far I could keep him going.

W.D. was selling a laptop on Craigslist and since computers draw out the scammers like moths to a flame, he was inundated with messages of easy sales paying far more than the asking price.

Characters
Scammer: Mrs. Helen Smith (a loving mother)
Me: W.D. Mason

Here's our story...

Dear Helen,

Please consider the computer yours! I simply LOVE surprises - especially International, Birthday, Craigslist surprises!

I completely understand how you cannot meet face-to-face. Salt Lake City is QUITE a distance to drive. ha ha.

I'm embarassed to say that although I am a seasoned Craigslist user, I have yet to create a PayPal account. I have read very good things about it AND I would prefer to avoid money orders (Craigslist is always telling you to avoid them). Please do not take this personally because I DO trust you! ho ho.

Before you pay for the computer, I need to know the address I am going to ship it to. I'm a little concerned about the cost of the shipping. I'm fairly confident that $80 will cover most destinations, but I won't be sure until you send me the address and I can verify with my shipper. I'm sure you understand.

Also, will I be shipping this to you or your son? It may make more sense to send it direct, so you aren't paying twice. If so, I will add a small birthday card from you in the box. I'm sure he will love it.

I know you want this transaction to complete quickly, but I feel it's important to cover all of the bases so your son has a wonderful birthday.

Just let me know,

W.D.

Helen,

Thank you so much for your response, but you haven't answered any of my questions. I did gather that you want to ship the computer to Nigeria. That's a start.

I did some checking and I'm afraid that shipping the laptop to "Nigeria" is going to cost anywhere from $150 to $350 depending on location, shipping method, carrier, etc. So, you see, I need the full address, and $80 is NOT going to cover the entire cost.

I really don't want you to pay more than you have to. But, believe me when I tell you that THIS computer is worth EVERY penny though! To be honest, I really hate parting with it. My Grandma "Bertie" bought this for me as a Birthday gift (I was her favorite). She said to me "I want you to download as much music as you can with THIS computer...just don't get caught!"

Two weeks later Granny Bertie died. I'm afraid it might have been my fault though. I made her a mix with 'Nine-Inch-Nails', 'Stabbing Westward', 'The Red Hot Chili Peppers', and 'Yanni'. The police said that she had the headphones on and her hand was clutching her heart. I felt bad, but I know that "Granny Bertie" is ROCKIN' OUT IN HEAVEN!!!

Anyway, I also asked whether you would like me to put a card in the box for your son. If so, what is his name? I would be more than happy to do that for you.

So, to recap...

1. I need the address. Once I have that, I can give you the total cost - including shipping.
2. $80 is NOT going to cover the shipping costs.
3. What is your son's name? I need this to put on the card.

Please get back with me so I can ship this to your "son" for his "birthday".

Sincerely,

W.D.

Helen,

Clearly we are not on the same wavelength. I am asking questions, but you're not answering them.

If you want the computer, you MUST answer my questions and be a little more sociable.

I'm going out on a limb here and you're not helping me. If you do not wish to help me, that's fine, because I have a LOT of people interested in my computer who are willing to meet me face-to-face.

Help me help you.

Helen,

I am well aware of the location and your desire to purchase my computer.

However, you have not told me your son's name. Nor, have you told me what you would like the birthday card to say.

As I have also told you, this computer means a great deal to me and I want to know that it is going to go to a good home, with a good user, with a good heart.

So far, you have done nothing but tell me how much money you are willing to spend.

I need to know more.

Like I said, help me help you,

W.D.

Poor Edith Banny is going to die.

I have been trying to get a scammer to bite on this particular character, but I have been too pushy at the beginning. Well, this time, I have a wingnut named Edith, who can’t seem to make up her mind on her title. She calls herself “Sister Mrs. Edith Banny”.

Well, I couldn’t let this one get away, so I have decided that a mortician would be a trustworthy fellow. My goal is to get her to lose her cool with me and get the “security company” to go to Moneygram AT LEAST 3 times. I would shoot for 4 times, but I’m afraid that my sarcasm will get the best of me.

Characters
Scammer: Mrs. Edit Banny (I will her Bannister. I may even try Batty)
Me: Mr. Will U. Touchme – Mortician

Here’s our story…

Since my husband death I have been diagnosed with oesophageal cancer.Recently, my Doctor told me that I would not last for the next Four months due to cancer problem.

From all indications, my condition is really deteriorating and is quite obvious that I may not live more than two months, because the cancer stage has gotten to a very dangerous stage.When my late husband was alive he deposited the sum of $2.3Million (USD) in a private security company here in Abidjan Cote D Ivoire.Presently this money is still in the custody of the security company here.

Having known my condition I have decided to donate this fund to good person that will utilize this money the way I am going to instruct herein. I want to you use at least 90% this fund to visit the orphanage homes, poor aged widows,help woman with cancer problems,poor sick ones at the hospital as I want this to be the last good thing I did on earth before my death, then take the remaining 10% to take good care of your good Home because every worker deserves his wages.l took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money that is why I want to donate the money for charity.

I am not afraid of death hence I know where I am going.I know that I am going to be in the bosom of the Lord.My happiness is that I lived a good life.Write to me on my email address .Assure me that you will act accordingly as I Stated herein. I also want you to always pray for me because the lord is my only shephard.Thanks and Remain blessed in the Lord.l remain Yours Sister in Christ

Dear Edith,

I did receive your message. I believe that God has brought us together to help you get through your final months.

You have been so kind to tell me so much about yourself, I feel obligated to do the same...

I am a mortician. I run the 'Pushing Daisies Funeral Home'. I completely understand your situation and feel terrible for your current condition and the loss of your husband. It is my business to be compassionate at times such as these. Let me simply state again how utterly Sorry I am for your loss.

Please let me know how I can help.

I feel obligated to inform you that we are currently running a 25% off special on our entire casket line. I recommend our Ultra-Deluxe Executive Freedom Death Rider with Memory Foam. You will definitely feel at home on the memory foam mattress and silk sheets (for an additional $50, we can have the sheets embroidered with your name). If you are looking for something more economical might I suggest our Brushed Aluminum Rest-In-Peace Dirt-Napper Elite. This isn't as nice as the Ultra-Deluxe, but you will still rest nicely.

Given the fact that you MORE than enough money, I would suggest the Ultra-Deluxe. Only the best will do for such a generous person.

Please send me as much information as possible.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,

William

Dear Williams Touchme,

Infact i am very happy for your understanding and the information's you brought.

I forwarded your informations to the security company but the security manager said i should tell that you that you should contact them on your own so that they will inform you their procedures and their date of arrival schedule.

Please i will like you to contact the security company immediately with their address as they are expecting to hear from you because your full name and contact has been registered with them as my family foreign partner. so below is the address of the security company.

Name of Company: SAFE GUARD SECURITY COMPANY ABIDJAN COTE D' IVOIRE
Contact Person: SIR.BILLY TRAORE (Director of foreign operations)
Tel :+225 08 91 67 35
Email:(safeguard_s_company@diplomats.com). This is the direct contact of SIR.BILLY TRAORE you can reach him on phone any time.

Please don't fail to contact the security company immediately as you can see that my health is nothing to write home about so the best and the only thing you can do for me is to recieve this consignment box immediately ,i will then send to you the BOX KEY TESTED CODE. But the most important thing you should bear in mind is that NEVER YOU ALLOW THEM TO KNOW THAT IT IS MONEY because of the security of the money because my late husband told them that it is Family Valuable for his foreign partner so this is what you will tell them if they ask you the content of the box.
Please this is a secret. I await your urgent reply and keep me informed as soon as you contact them.

N/B: CONTACT THE SECURITY COMPANY AND TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE FAMILY OF MR. David Banny FOREIGN PARTNER. THAT YOU WANT THEM TO PROCEED WITH THE SHIPMENT PROCESS OF THE TRUNK BOXE CONTAINING (FAMILY VALUABLE)THAT IS IN THEIR SECURITY VAULT TO YOU IN AMERICA. JUST WRITE THEM THIS WAY AND CALL THEM ON PHONE OR SEND THEM EMAIL AND GET BACK TO ME IMMEDIATELY.

I have attached a copy of the picture i took some days ago on my sick bed. confirm the receipt of the attached picture. May the Almighty God protect you and your entire family.

I am counting on your greatest support and understanding.

Dear Sister Mrs. Bannister,

May I call you Edith? I want to thank you for your photo. I will keep it close to my heart to remind me of your generosity and love. It truly gives me hope knowing that there are astonishing people like you in the world.

Please rest assured that I will do everything within my power to help you through this trying time. As you are aware, I am a funeral director (mortician), therefore it is my life's work to discreetly communicate with people, manage schedules, and assist in money transfers that the living should not be concerned with. In other words, I am like a covert operative for the "living".

With that, you have nothing to fear. I will communicate with the "Security Company" and never let them know the contents of the "trunk boxe". I will take that information with me to the "grave" (that's a little mortician humor).

I would also like to discuss your impending "sleepy-dead time" that you have brought to my attention. I believe it is always prudent to make sure all of our "plans" are laid out prior to our untimely demise. With that said, have you given any thought about our current specials on caskets? I think it would be wise for me to also tell you about our deals on cremation.

If you like, I can cremate your body for $225.00. That price includes 2.5 hours in our blast furnace plus the standard, stainless-steel urn. However, for an additional $125.00 I can include the deluxe hardwood storage box with engraved, brass label. I think you will find them both to be a "tasteful" and "attractive" addition to any living and/or sitting room.

Please let me know if you would prefer our, more traditional, embalming/casket/vault package, or our more contemporary cremation/urn package. The choice is completely yours and I would feel "unclean" if I were to influence your decision in any way. To be honest, you cannot go wrong with either package. It is simply a matter of how ornate you wish to be.

Rest assured that I would give you a healthy discount considering how generous you are.

In closing, I want you to have no doubt that I will complete this transaction to your satisfaction. I will keep you informed of all communications. Please let me know how you would like your “final arrangements” so that I can get some quotes to you as quickly as possible.

Sincerely,

William

Dear Security Management,

Allow me to introduce myself. I am William Upshaw Touchme'. I am a member of the family of Mr. David Banny (foreign partner).

I have recently become aware of a "trunk boxe" in your possession that contains family valuables. Actually, there is no concern of yours pertaining to the contents of this "boxe". Needless to say, there is absolutely NO CASH contained within this "boxe". It is simply some trinkets and what-not that is valuable only to me and my family.

If you would be so kind as to proceed with the shipment of this "trunk boxe" (containing nothing of particular value) which is currently residing in your high-security vault to the United States, I would greatly appreciate it.

Please contact me at your earliest convenience to make these final arrangements.

Dear Mr. Lagoon,

It is truly Celestial that you and I have found each other. You see, I am a professional psychic. I help "normal" people see their future and help prepare them for the Tenebrous Transcendental Forfeel that precedes all good things.

I was "working" with my Tarot cards and they told me that I was going to meet an "honest" man with riches. It seems that the spirits were correct. For here you are!

You have mentioned "honesty" in both of your messages. You have said that you require an "honest" person. Someone who will NOT lie, cheat, or steal.

In this request, you have found no equal. The spirits who guide me through the Transcendental World do not allow me to be dishonest. If I ever do anything that is not bathed in "light", I will lose my "Esoteric" eye and lose my ability to foretell the future.

That would be bad.

Dear Mr. Legume,

I "knew" you were going to write to me today. For you see, today is the 12th day of the 6 month. When you ascertain that Mercury is currently 77 degrees lateral of our moon's rotation AND you take into account that Saturn is our 6th planet in our solar system. Then you take the sum of those astrological "divisors" and divide the square root of Pi by the number of seconds in the month of August 1933, you find that "positive" things are going to happen TODAY.

You see, many people thing that Numerology is nothing more than spiritual "hokus-pokus". I believe that my description above shows that there is true "science" and "divininity" within it as well. Don't you agree?

As for the contents of your message...

I have read over your message (followed closely with a quick scan with my 3rd eye), and find it to be "acceptable".

I believe that a 50/50 split is perfectly fair. As is the fact that I am to cover any miscellaneous costs to have the transaction completed. Fortunately, I have already foreseen that there will be very minor costs and they should not occur for 6.2562 days.

I will send the accompanying form to the bank immediately. Although I believe you should not enter that particular branch for 3 days or until it rains for (AT LEAST) 6 hours - whichever comes first. Of course, this is merely a suggestion.

I am afraid, however, that I cannot contact you via telephone at this time. While working with my tarot cards, I received a message of foreboding that told me not to use a telephone for 14 days. As you have already mentioned that this transaction will merely take 10 days, I'm afraid that it will be of no use to us. However, if you wish to contact me, you may do so at 206-666-4298.

Have a positively Numero-rific day.

Sincerely,

Anitta A. Mann

Please get back to me as soon as possible so that we can complete this transaction...wait please...I'm getting a reading...

Mr. Legume,

While I was meditating today I was visited by a very powerful spirit (his name was Shirley...don't ask). He was sent by the "Overseer" who needed to inform me that I had forgotten to tell you my telephone number.

It is an oversight that the "Overseer" felt could jeapardize this transaction, which is something I CANNOT allow!

You see, this transaction is going to help me get my "6th eye of Gordanian". With this I will be able to see much farther into the future AND be able to predict winning Lotto numbers. As you can imagine, this is VERY important and beneficial.

So, I MUST tell you phone number. It is 206-426-0370. I feel that you wish to speak to me and you do not trust my psychic connection with you. Do not fear, this is common and will take time for you to trust.

Please feel free to contact me, and please forgive this oversight.

Thank you for your kind words. Of course, I knew you were going to send this message to me (for I am a psychic), yet seeing your words before me does lighten my heart.

I have also foreseen the results of the upcoming board of directors meeting. You will find at the end of the meeting, everything is satisfactory and going according to plan.

You will also want to throw away your blue, ball-point pen with the chewed cap, for it is out of ink. Oh, and someone named "James" or "John" or "Samuel" has your stapler and has no intentions of giving it back. You may wish to look into this sooner rather than later.

Dear Mr. Legume,

I wanted to let you know that I was contacted by the bank regarding Mr. Mann's account. As I had predicted, everything went well and they have sent me a document that must be fully completed before the money can be transferred (I expected this as well).

Although I could consult the spirits to get every detail required for this document, I feel it is important to include you in this transaction as well. Here is a list of items I require from you to complete this document...

1. The name of the deceased
2. The address of Mr. Micheal Mann
3. His company
4. The account number
5. The amount deposited

You will also want to take a different route home this evening for there is going to be an overturned "tractor", "truck", or "asphault paver" blocking your normal route. Oh, you will also want to listen to a different radio station because, your current choice is going to broadcast some particular nasty news that could ruin your evening.

...and...wait...don't eat the veal. Yes, DEFINITELY do NOT eat the VEAL!!!

Please get back to me with the details before 10:00pm this evening. I know what you are planning and it is not a good idea. I highly recommend using your left hand instead.

Thank you so much,

Dear Mr. Legume,

I knew I would hear from you today. I was consulting the stars and the stars NEVER lie!!

I sense...a disturbance...yes...no...an irritation...no...a sense of distrust in you. You have mentioned "Betrayal" and "Trust" again. I can sense that you are a very trustworthy person - I see that. You are honest (I have seen that too). You are NOT a person who would lie to someone to simply receive money. I can see what the future holds...

You are sitting in a lounge chair on a beach... There is a bucket next to you full of...something...I cannot tell... You are laughing with someone...a woman...a VERY beautiful woman... She...is...blonde...like...ME! I believe you and I are on a beach together. You are very handsome wearing a dark blue Speedo...

Oh, wait! My television is on and it was Baywatch!!! I can't believe I left that on AGAIN! My crystal ball magnifies everything and it looks so real.

Thank you for the information. I was consulting the "CARDS" this morning and I was "told" that I cannot send any information to the bank until I get 5 things from you. It is IMPERATIVE that I receive these so the spirits will allow the transaction to finish. Please believe me that I trust these "Spirits" and they MUST have these answers before we can continue.

Please send me the following. Once I have them, the spirits will allow me to move forward.

1. Your date of birth
2. Your height
3. The color of your eyes
4. I need to know your deepest desire (YOU MUST BE SPECIFIC)
5. When you cross your legs, which leg is on top?

Remember, once I have these answers from you I will be able to send the remaining information to the bank!

I look forward to meeting and hugging you when you arrive later this week. Please be warned that when you fly here, do not board any flight where there is a 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, or 9 in the number. I have seen a "darkness" associated to these numbers for the next 10 days. After that, you should be fine, but I would err on the side of caution right now.

Mr. Legume,

Ah, yes...hostility. I get that a lot with non-believers such as yourself. You wish to ignore your sight using your 4th eye of Clemetese. You have clearly refused to see how 5 simple questions can help me help you even more than you think. What you consider to be "stupid" or "wastes of time" can tell me more about your future than you can EVER hope!

I HAVE sent the information to the bank! I have even attached the completed document so you can see it with your mortal eyes. I was simply requesting that you answer these question so that I can have the "Spirit World" help increase your reward tenfold.

Your hostility is completely unwarranted - not to mention unwelcome.

I have been nothing but serious with you and I will continue to be serious with you. I have consulted the cards now and I must tell you that although I will continue to be "nice" to you, the "Spirit Overlord" is quite unhappy with you. Five times I saw the Strength card followed by the Justice card. This is clearly a sign of the astrological correspondences worked out by the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn!

I have also consulted the stars and find that you will (very soon) ask to help me in ways you never thought.

Dear Ms. Market,

As I consulted my crystal ball last evening, I saw the message you were sending to me. During my trance, I also saw my response to your message. It was quite clear. I could actually see what color my fingernails were painted. I could "almost" hear the actual clicks from my keyboard... click.... click.... clickity... click... backspace... backspace... click... click.

Here's what I saw myself typing...

NO!! I am NOT going to drive 300 miles (round trip) to Vancouver simply to perform a 10 minute transaction! Not to mention that you are NOW telling me that I may have to make 2 to 3 trips!!!

If I remember correctly, you said that your "excellent and efficient banking services" would accept Moneygram OR Western Union transfers. Now, you are telling me that you will only accept Western Union AND you will not give me a reason why you will not accept Moneygram! Of course, being a psychic, I know what the "problem" is, but I want to hear it from YOU!

I'll be honest with you. Three days ago, I was deep Deep DEEP in a trance conversing with my "Spiritual Overhealer-oni". He told me that I was NOT allowed to drive more than 22.75 miles per day for the next 42 days! He was quite specific. The consequences of disobeying this order could blind my 37th eye and cause my Chakra to rotate 122 degrees past center!

Do you have ANY IDEA what that would do to a working "psychic"?!? It would be CATASTROPHIC!!

My Chakra is currently in a completely "AWAKENED" state. That means that my kundalini shakti flows upward from the base of my spine through my six centres of Chiti, to the seventh chakra, the sahasrara, at the crown of my head! If it gets rotated, my Chakra could end up coming out of the pinky finger on my left hand!!

I WILL NOT ALLOW THAT!!!

Now, I suggest you either tell me what the problem is with my Moneygram transfer or you can wait 39 days until I can travel to Vancouver to their Western Union office. I assure you that any issue involving Moneygram can be straightened out quickly and efficiently.

The choice is yours!

Sincerely,

Anitta

Dear Anitta,

How are you today?

I have been away to village to finalize things with my family over my possible visit to your country for our disbursement of this inheritance. Infact i'm so happy reading your mail this evening that you have already sent the processing fee to the bank mangement without even asking me to partake in the bill. I am so happy that i'm dealing with somebody like you and i promise that we are going to do alot of things together as soon as i get to your country. My primary plan is to invest most of my share in your country and i will be counting on you for a wise investment.

Kindly keep me update regarding the fund transfer as i believe that you are in constant communication with the bank management. Please give me another telephone number through which i can reach you since the former is not working through.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Yours sincerely,

Masha Lagunde.

Dear Mr. Legume,

I'm happy to hear that you are preparing to visit me and the United State, however I'm afraid that there is a problem with the bank and the money transfer (of course I knew of this impending issue, but I did not forewarn you because I did not wish to infringe on your "christain" beliefs).

As we both know, the bank said that I could send the money to them via Western Union or Moneygram. I chose Moneygram because the nearest Western Union office is located approximately 150 miles away. Now, the bank is insisting that I use Western Union to manage the money transfer.

I have asked them repeatedly why they have changed their policy (even though I already know the answer - my sixth sense has already given me the reason), yet they have steadfastly refuse.

Again, I do not wish to push your religious beliefs to the test, so I will not proclaim my gift of insight to you as to why I cannot drive that far, but suffice to say that I WILL NOT go to Vancouver to re-send the money!

Since we have begun this transaction I have received hostile messages from you AND now the bank refuses to do business with me. I would divulge more information about what is going on but I do not wish to receive another unfriendly message from you. This is ENTIRELY too much negative energy for me to possibly exercise!

Please do something about this!

Ms Anitta Mann,

You must have to follow our working ethics in this transaction, it was a mistake by the publicity department, all payment from our foreign customers whom could not appear in person in our Bank to make transactions due to one reason or the other are received via western union which we have a section in this Bank. You have within 72 hours to re-send the processing fee otherwise your claim file shall be suspended till further notice.

Dear Mr. Doyle,

Well, then I'm afraid that we are at an impasse. I am not going to sacrifice my 37th eye or cause my Chakra to rotate 122 degrees past center. If you are willing to wait 37 days, I will revisit this.

I will keep the money in the Moneygram account for another 2 days. If your "publicity department" should decide to overlook this NEW rule, then it is waiting for Mrs. Emmanuel to pick up. If not, then I will retrieve the $6,465.00 first-thing Saturday morning and re-deposit in my personal bank account.

I'm surprised that a bank as sophisticated as yours is incapable dealing with another reputable company. I sense that there is FAR more to this "excuse" then you are letting on. As a matter of fact, I have already "seen" why you are changing the rules. However, as I have stated, I am not going to sacrifice my "gift" for your whims.

If you would like, I can send you the scanned Moneygram receipt for your records. If not, I will destroy it Saturday morning when I remove the $6,465.00 from the Moneygram account.

Have a Visionary Day,

Anitta

Dear Anitta,

I am very disappointed the way you acted in this transaction , you should have told me in the first place that you are not capable of handling this transaction so as to enable me seek for another competent partner abroad.

My only advise to you as a matured woman incase on another time in life is that whenever you are doing something with your rational mind as a matured person you are,It is not all the advices and suggestions that comes your way that you should accept because in life opportunity comes only but once.

You should always sieve the advices to know the one that is good and will be profitable to you because in life there are so many individuals who are just enemies of progress just for no reasons at all but because they don't like good things and wouldn't want to see others have it. Nevertheless i have resolve to still compensate you as soon as i achieve success with another partner who i have to contact soon.

Now re-type and send the below letter of recommendation to the management of Financial Bank for a change of beneficiary to some one who i will be contacting soon;

Subject: Apology First!

Mr. Legume,

Although I "knew" you were going to write me a very insulting message today, it still doesn't change the fact that it hurts and INFURIATES me! This is the second time you have insulted me. I can assure you there will NOT be a third!

Where were YOU during this time?!? I've been communicating with YOUR bank AND asking you for assistance, but you clearly didn't care to help ME!!! You're constantly telling me how "important" this transaction is, yet you choose to ignore me except when you want to expunge your rage!

Since, you apparently wish to ridicule me instead of taking a closer look at YOUR beloved bank I will refresh your "tired" memory:

1. I was contacted by YOUR bank to send $6,465.00 via Moneygram OR Western Union
2. I sent $6,465.00 to YOUR bank via Moneygram since the closest Western Union is over 300 miles away (round trip)
3. I was then contacted by YOUR bank telling me to send the money ONLY through Western Union
4. I asked YOUR bank why
5. YOUR bank gave me a lame excuse
6. I asked YOUR bank why again
7. YOUR bank gave me another lame excuse
8. I asked YOUR bank why again
9. YOUR bank said that it was because I am out of YOUR country (yet Moneygram was OK before)
10. I informed YOUR bank that I am NOT driving over 300 miles to go to my nearest Western Union office

During that time I contacted you to keep you informed of the progress and you NEVER responded...until now! Not to mention that your latest response is exceptionally UNCOUTH!

I informed YOUR bank that on Saturday morning I was going to retrieve my $6,465.00 from the Moneygram office and I did! I still have it available to send, but as I told your bank, I’m NOT going to drive 300 miles and risk my "inner eyesight" or my Chakra.

I'm still committed to this transaction, but you are going to have to treat me AND my "gift" with considerably more RESPECT!

My only advice to you as an unenlightened, unseeing, impatient, immature man is to realize that you asked me for help. If you want me to send this message to YOUR bank, you MUST write me a formal APOLOGY for being so rude!

If not, I will take my $6,465.00 and return it to my 401K!

Have a spiritually uplifting day,

Anitta

Dear Annita,

I owe you no apology and you cant hold me on ramson, you have to forget about this deal to enable me look for a competent person who can help me to conclude things since you are unable to follow the directives of the Bank, you and i knew that we are making a deal out of this opportunity and there is no need to be contesting on the bankj instructions.

I am not forcing you to participate in this deal, i will personally compensate you soon as i successfully conclude the deal with the partner as i indicated in the letter of recommendation i sent you yesterday. Bear in mind that i want this transaction to conclude as soon as possible to enable the release of the inheritance as soon as possible in accordance with the banking calender.

To be frank with you Anitta i have no other avenue of raising any more money lest i would have pay all this fee, i tried all my best but to no avail that is why i told you to submit the letter of recommendation to the management of the bank to enable me seek for another competent person immediately who will pay all the fee without contest.

You have to find a way to find western union office whereever it may be and send the money to the bank today otherwise my lawyer will take actions and use his power of attorney to influence the bank management for the change of beneficiary.Bear in mind that you will have yourself to blame if you deny yourself of this great opportunity which you can never come across again in your entire life. The choice is yours.

Best Regards,

Masha Lagunde.

Mr. Legume,

You seem to think that you can bully me around, yet you will find that my psychic resolve will not allow you to do so. Clearly, you need MY money to complete this transaction. We have concluded most of the legal paperwork to complete this transaction. It is simply a matter of me transmitting this money to you, so it can be concluded.

Now, if you choose to apologize to me, I will resubmit my money to your account via Moneygram. At that time, I will send the statement to the bank and you can pay the bank fees. Then we can continue the money transfer.

I will give you until Monday to apologize or I will be forced to return my $6,465.00 to my 401K account. Either way, the spirits have informed me that everything will work out fine for me.

Have a wonderfully psychic day,

Dear Mr. Legume,

I appreciate all that you have done with the Continental Bank Foreign Remittance. I'm sure it took a fairly large chunk out of your (already) busy day. But I have NOT received your formal apology.

I told you explicitly that I will NOT transfer the money to you or anyone until I get an apology from you for your dicourteous, bad-mannered, rude, offensive, foul, vulgar behavior.

Once I receive your apology, I will transfer the money to 'Moses Kalibe Sunny' on the same day (as long as I receive your apology before 4:00pm PDT).

Have a numerologically positive day,

Subject: Thank you for the apology

Dear Mr. Legume,

Thank you for your wonderful apology. I'm sure you feel much better knowing that I have now forgiven you for being so rude and hurtful. I hope you've learned a valuable lesson from all of this - you must remember to be kind to everyone regardless of how stressed you may be.

Of course, weeks ago I envisaged that you were going to compose this message. That's why I didn't get too upset with you when you were being so callous and shameful.

Let me explain...If you remember, you wrote your first repulsive message close to the 11th of June. This suggests that the eleventh harmonic aspects symbolize the disruption and the restoration to wholeness of the spiritual vibrations of any group that has been profaned, betrayed, deceived or wounded by an individual member.

As I'm sure you realize - YOU were the member who profaned, betrayed, and wounded ME. By logical association, the astrologer (that's me) can presume that individuals with these aspects between planets can either be agents of ruin or healers within groups, first by observing the group dynamics, then by exerting a subtle spiritual force that either serves to polarize, or to reunify and make whole the organization or association.

I simply used my Biseptile power to influence the 9th-harmonic aspect to counteract your quadnovile undecim, thus restoring the Quinsemiseptile flow within the 16th harmonic aspect. It's really quite simple - don't you agree?

However , we do have a slight issue that cannot be overlooked. As I’m sure you are aware, today is July 7th. In Numerology, the number 7 is the most spiritual of all numbers. Being the devoted Numerologist, I cannot ignore the significance of this number! In many of the ancient circles the number 7 is considered a “Secondary Master Number”.

“Secondary Master Numbers” are very challenging and they are also highly paradoxical: They promise enormous potential, but if used prematurely promise colossal catastrophic failures and discorse. It has been my experience that when the number 7 is concerned, the latter is usually the case.

With this in mind, I will feel much better sending the money to you tomorrow. I’m sure you understand.

I’m very happy that we have finally come through our difficult time together. Now that we are certain that neither of us will try to hurt the other with vile words, I’ve predicted everything will work out splendidly.

Sincerely,

Anitta

Subject: Money has been transferred...

Dear Mr. Williams,

I'm happy to see that you have finally seen the light. My only wish is that you would have done so sooner to help alleviate the grief that you've caused. I've been to the Moneygram office so many times in the past three weeks, I know everyone there by name.

I truly want this transaction to proceed so I'm going to overlook a rather concerning "vision" I encountered this morning. I was calculating todays Chaldean Numerology prediction index and found that no money values larger than $22.31 should be conducted for the next 4.12 days.

Of course, I take this quite seriously, but as I have already pointed out, your bank and it's obtuse rules pertaining to me have already greatly delayed what should have been a simple 10-day transaction. I decided to use a particularly complicated "Wicca-Shantum-Vivekananda" positive-energy spell to help guide our transaction to a successful completion.

There's no need to thank me. I've done this before on many occasions to help facilitate positive, beneficial outcomes. I believe that everyone involved will be pleased with the outcome and light shall shine for 12 days in a row. Please listen to the birds and their songs during this time. It will be very melodic to say the least.

There may be some negative side effects from my positive-energy spell that I think you should be aware of. Try to avoid opening doors with your right hand during this time and make sure your shoes are laced right OVER left. This is VERY important!!!

Here's the detail you need for the Moneygram transfer:

Senders Name: Anitta Mann
Receivers Name: Moses Kalibe Sunny
Amount Sent: $6,465.00
Question: Is Anitta the BEST?
Answer: Agreed!
Control Number: 86962465

Please let me know when the "estate repatriation" can be concluded. I am mystically "drained" and can do nothing more (using the spiritual world) to help this process along.

Sincerely,

Anitta

Dear Mr. Legume,

I was contacted by your bank today with a very rude message. They said that I gave them incorrect Moneygram information and I must correspond with only you.

I'm very disgusted by the lack of professionalism with this organization. Not to mention that when I was consulting my crystal ball today, it showed that everything was running smoothly. I think you will be happy to know that I also noticed that Jupiter has conjunctified Neptune at 26°28'.

This is a rare and special celestial event whose influence should last for a 2.12 weeks. It has a very humanitarian impact because it seeks to unite us with others through things we share and have in common. It's extremely benevolent and encourages understanding, tolerance and acceptance. These are things I would have expected from your bank.

I'm sure you believe that I have not sent erroneous information to your bank. If you like, I even have the receipt that I will scan and send to you.

Just let me know how you would like to handle this situation. As far as I'm concerned, your bank is very rude and un-nice.

Sincerely,

Anitta
