My Nigerian Pen Pals

My favorite spam emails are the get-rich ones from “Nigerian consulates”.  Their pitch - in a form letter - goes like this: “A rich guy with your last name died but had no heirs, so his bank is going to keep his money.  But if you pose as a ‘next of kin‘, we can split it.  Send your bank info to get the ball rolling.”  (For a good read on this, click here: http://www.slate.com/id/2072851 - the scammers are really Nigerian.)I replied, with mixed results: although no money has arrived (yet), I’ve made lasting friendships.  Below are some correspondences - edited for space, but with syntax intact – with my replies in blue:

Dear Barr Sani-
      When's that money coming? I just bought some chemotherapy, and that shit's expensive.  The thing is, I don't even have cancer! I just figured, "why wait"?  Right?  Get chemo while I'm healthy, and I'll never get cancer.  The doctors think I'm crazy, but I think it's because they're losing a bigger payday down the road.  And once everyone figures this out, no more yachts for them!  Hey, I'm coming to Nigeria in June. Is it gonna be too hot for Frisbee golf?
                              Love me, Moody

Dearest Reverend Doctor,
      Hey, should I call you "Reverend" or "Doctor"? Or, since you're trying to bilk strangers, can I just call you "Joe"? Please call me in the US at my nursing home: (202) 986-8400 (<Nigerian Embassy). Ask for me, Muldoon, and say it's in reference to 419's.
                                    peace on Earth, him

Dearest Joseph-
      I apologize for my skepticism. I know a Reverend would never lie, but a doctor might. And you're all both! (What kind of doctor are you, by the way? I ask because my pinky toe has turned burgundy.)
      I am anxious to do business. Here is my banking info:
First National Taint Savings, savings account #419419419419; routing #0419419419 (My online password - if they ask - is "Carmelo")
      I hope to hear from you soon. Do you have Instant Messaging in Nigeria? I hope that's not a slag - I don't mean to imply that you guys aren't up to speed.

Hello Muldoon,
      I received the information and i immediately move ahead with the changing of your name with the fotmer existing next of kin to my late client Mr. Robert Ebnner. soon i will give you the deposit certificate ….
      However, this is scant albeit, to-the-point biography of my hunble self. My full name is Joseph Adam I hail from Nsukka and in Enugu State, South East of Nigeria, Born on April 28th, 1954 into the family of Chief and Mrs. Richard Adam My father was a school teacher while my mother was a nursing mother sister. They were devout Christian which I am until today; I graduated from the University of Nsukka (UNN) with modest degree in Accountant in 1982. However, I worked with a German Construction firm till the wake 1988 when I went back for my Doctoring degree. Life to me then was stringent, as I have to cater for my newly born baby, who later died and my dear Wife Joy Adam whom I got married to in 1986. Joy my wife is a graduate of agriculture and works presently with the agricultural research institute Lagos. She is a lover of nature, and heads non-governmental organization, friends of nature aimed at protecting improving nature. She is my confidant in all my undertaken and a well devout Christian. However, upon completing my second degree program, I gained employment with the Union Bank (PLC). Through my uncle, Samuel Dike. I'm still with the Bank as an accountant. My marriage is blessed with (3) three children. I am presently residing at No 32, Don close Aguda s/lere Lagos. I reasonably belief that this scant albeit, to-the-point biography, would bring about the spirit of intimacy between us. Finally, we will still need you Full name ans residential address, to make complete change on your name here to avoild feture problem. again reconfirm your bank name with address.
                  Thanks and God bless you. Rev. Dr. Joseph

Rev-
      Enough with the fruity bio and "spirit of intimacy", alright? For fucks sake, I felt like I was on match.com reading that tripe! This is business, bro: I'm looking for a crime partner, not a life partner. Although the dead kid thing even got to me - a guy who strangled a prostitute once. (It was consensual.) But I'm skeptical of your "wife & kids" because I don't think anyone who could write a letter that faggy could procreate. Also, while I'm in a mood: DROP THE CHRISTIANITY INFOMERCIAL! I don't know what kind of church you go to, but mine was all about feeding the needy, and that's why I left! I'm the needy now, Rev, and I'm hungry for a few million nairas! Anyway, the less we know about each other, the better. If you need a shoulder to cry, go bareback someone else.
      Now on to matters: my name is Seamus Muldoon and my address in the U.S. of motherfuckin' A. is: 4419 13th Ave, apt. 419, New York, NY 11009. My bank: Retired Mall Cops Credit Union, based in St. Paul, MN.                                    talk to you soon, Seamus
ps - do you IM (Instant Message)?

Dear mccarthy,
      I am an Accountant with STANDARD TRUST BANK, My name is Mr Franklin Ezeobodo, I am the personal Account Manager to Engineer A.mccarthy, a National of your country, who used to work with Summit Oil company in Nigeria. On April 21, 2000, my client, his wife, and their three children were involved in a car accident along Sagamu express way. All occupants unfortunately lost their lives …… I have contacted you to assist in reatriating the money left behind by my client … an account Valued at ($85.2Million US Dollars) … what I needed from you is as follows: full Name, Address, Contact Phone number, Age and Your status.
            Best Regards, Mr Franklin Ezeobodo. Phone:234-8036975992
 
Franklin-
      I called that number you gave and got a busy signal. No biggie, though - my phone plan includes Nigeria for only 15 cents a minute. (Hey, I just spent 5 minutes looking for the "cents" symbol on my keyboard - when did they get rid of those? You don't have to answer that.) Anyway, you're not gonna believe this but I ACTUALLY am A.mccarthy's NEXT OF KIN! So we don't even have to bullshit the banks. (I didn't mean to imply you were a scammer, it's just that you can't be too careful these days, right?) Yeah, Uncle A. was a kind of a douche (he dry-humped my little brother) so we weren't close and didn't find out about his pile-up until recently. It's a shame because his daughter in the crash was really cool. Hot, too, but we were cousins so it's not like we could act on it. This isn't Nigeria, you know what I'm saying!
      Well, we were looking for an intermediary anyway so we might as well go with you. You've got your own zipmail account, which is impressive. One thing, though - in Uncle A.'s last Christmas BRAGGY-ass "look at me" letter he claimed his assets topped $100 million, and you say it's only $85mil - was he lying or did you skim some, you crafty bastard?
                        peace be with you, mccarthy

Hi Moody,
      You are mad to call me (you crafty bastard? peace be with you),Do I deposited fund with Engineer A.Mccarthy? Why then are you asking me if there was some I had eaten. I you the one that told me to contact you that this fund is here in Nigeria? If I mean to eat it should I have contacted you? Is like you are a fool that doesn't know anything. Calling me cratfy bastard? You are born bastard,blind-fool,No wonder a snail is creeping with it's face. You white bat and zoo pig when did you call my phone line and get it not? If you want to call me, Dial (009-234-8036975992) you will get to me.
                              Thanks Franklin
 
 
Franklin-
      What beautiful prose! Your words dance off the page like a back-up singer's camel toe!
      Your point is salient: had you been able to skim from Uncle A, you wouldn't need me. Clearly he exaggerated his assets, and I apologize to question your integrity. You are right to say "a snail is creeping with it's face". (Although I believe you meant "its face". English rules regarding possessive pronouns are very tricky, so don't beat yourself up over what was otherwise a flawless email. And this by no means undermines your future as a writer - a good editor will catch any errors.)
      Thanks for calling me a "white bat and zoo pig" - you're not gonna believe this, but that was my snooker nickname! I take that as a sign from above that we were meant to be partners. Now let's put all the hostility and grammatical errors and racism aside and go after Uncle A's nest egg! What do you say, you filthy cattle rapist?!

      I noticed your email address is "bar_jude_esiaka10" - are there really 9 other bar_jude_esiakas? Is "Esiaka" a common name?  I bet in your family it is, huh?  I grew up in a house full of "McCarthys" - it was so confusing, we used to have to call each other by our FIRST names!  Hey, I tried to dial your number but I can't find the "+" button on my phone. Is that a Nigerian thing?  (By the way, shouldn't Niger change its name?  That must be one confusing border.  Maybe they had the name first and you're the pricks.  Somebody has a good copyright lawsuit.)
      The finance house still hasn't called!  Do you think they hate me?  Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned the circumcision?  I won't mention my teste that didn't descend.

Dear "Barrister James"-
I notice that your address is at "latinmail.com", a site targeting Hispanics.  Are there many Spanish in Benin, a former French colony?  Also, you don't address me by name and your deceased client is "Mr. George" - have you done much legwork here?  Or are you just "emailing it in", so to speak?  Luckily for you, I have soft spot for Barristers because they raised me (my birth mother left me on the doorstep of an internet cafe).  Here's my contact info - please call me soon: Dr. Moody Okoye, (202) 986-8400, ext. 419.

Billy-
      You're not gonna believe this, but I'm an attorney here in the States, and one of my clients is (was) Frederick Musumba, a national of YOUR country who was employed in the diamond biz.  Unfortunately, he & his family were killed at a petting zoo.  He had no other family (that he liked), so his estate - 1,295,000,000 naira - will revert to the bank unless you want to pose as next of kin.  If you do, we'll split the money 60/60. Email me back or contact me at work: Tel: (202) 986-8400 ; Fax: (202) 775-1385
                  blessed love to your loins, mccarthy

Dear Moody McCarthy,
      Thanks for your mail received today and the content noted. ..What I really needed is your total commitment to see that fund is finally transferred into your account to avoid depositing the fund at the finance company's suspense account as unclaimed fund. Well it might interest you to know that I made a promise to my late client at the hospital before he died, which is to make sure that you receive the fund. His death came to me as a big shock because not only did he die in that fire explosion alone, but with his entire family. Note that the company might not be happy that you are coming for the repatriation of the fund into your account as the next of kin, and you might be receiving similar mails just to spoil your mind from pursuing the transfer of the fund into your account. … I need your contact address, phone and fax numbers …
      Get back to me immediately you receive this mail for more briefings regarding the process of the transfer. I await your reply.
            Best regards,  Barr. Williams Musumba(SAN).
 
 
 
Billy-
      Did you even read my email? I need YOUR banking info, Barrister guy. Just because your client died more dramatically and your story has deathbed promises doesn't mean that you're more important. It doesn't.                                 feeling yucky, McCarthy
