THANK YOU MY GOOD AND TRUSTED FRIEND. AS SOON AS THESE ADMINISTRATIVE DIFFICULTIES ARE CLEARED UP, WITH THE HELP OF YOUR EXPENSE MONEY, I WILL BE ABLE TO SEND TO YOUR BANK ACCOUNT THE $60 MILLION MY UNCLE, THE GENERAL, HAS BEEN TRYING TO EXPATRIATE.

I have some ruby rods (see the post on transparent aluminum) left over from laser experiments. I have contacts in Tel Aviv and Amsterdam who will cut the rods into jewelry quality stones and set them. I do need some seed money however to pay the cutters and setters and to buy the gold for the settings. If you could send me $5,000,000 (certified check or Western Union), I could let you have 5% of the action.

MY DEAR FRIEND ABE,
I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE UNFORTUNEATE SETBACK REGARDING MY PARTICIPATION IN LIBERATING YOUR UNCLE'S FUNDS. ALL MY MONEY IS TIED UP IN THE "GREAT WESTERN UNOBTAINIUM MINING COMPANY," WHOSE STOCK HAS BEEN FROZEN BY THE SEC PENDING INVESTIGATION OF ALLEDGED SEXUAL IREGULARITIES BY THE CORPORATE OFFICERS. FORTUNEATELY, THOUGH THE STOCK CANNOT BE LEGALLY TRADED IN UNITED STATES, NO SUCH ENCUMBERANCES PRECLUDE TRADING ON THE VARIOUS AFRICAN STOCK EXCHNGES.
SINCE WE ARE NOW CLOSE BUSINESS PARTNERS IN YOUR UNCLES TRANSACTION, I AM WILLING TO SEND YOU $10,000,000 WORTH OF MY STOCK IN "GREAT WESTERN UNOBTAINIUM MINING COMPANY" FOR YOU TO SELL ON MY BEHALF ON THE NIGERIAN STOCK EXCHANGE. THE PROCEEDS OF THE SALE WILL THEN BE USED FOR THE LIBERATIONS OF YOUR UNCLES STRANDED FUNDS. I AM EVEN WILING TO GIVE FOR YOU A PERCENTAGE OF 8 OF THE TRANSACTION, TO COMPENSATE YOU FOR YOUR TROUBLES ON MY BEHALF.
THIS TRANSSACTION MUST BE COMPLETED WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK, BEFORE SEC ENFORCEMENT SEIZES MY STOCK CERTIFICATES, BUT THE INSURANCE & PRIVATE COURIER SHIPPING COSTS TO SEND MY STOCK TO YOU IN NIGERIA IS VERY EXPENSIVE. IF YOU COULD PLEASE WIRE TRANSFER TO ME $25,000 IMMEDIATELY, I AM SURE I HAVE THE CERTIFICATES IN YOUR HAND BEFORE THE WEEK IS OUT.
PLEASE TAKE GREAT CARE IN THE HANDLING OF MY STOCK, AS IT REPRESENTS MY ENTIRE LIFE'S SAVINGS. I AM TRUSTING OF YOU BECUASE WE ARE NOW CLOSE BUSINESS PARTNERS IN RECOVERY OF YOUR UNCLES FUNDS, AND I COUNT UPON YOU TO NOT TAKE THE ADVANTAGES OF ME IN THIS MOMENT OF FINANCIAL DESPERATIONS.
YOUR TRUSTED FRIEND & BUSINESS PARTNER
