Dear Arnie,

This is to confirm the receipt of your mail/signed copies of the agreement.

Well, I will not fail to thank you for your concern/ success greeting. To be frank it is a profitable venture as my faith declares. Therefore may the same spirit of faith follow every member, so that the aim of the organizers of Australian/American Oilator will be achieved by God grace.

Thanks,

Subject: Things coming together well & possible business meeting in Lagos?
From: "Katrina Peters"
Date: Tue, November 18, 2003 3:08 am
To: Omar
Cc: Genitali Herpesi

Good morning Omar,

I am writing to both you and Mr. Genitali Herpesi, who is Australian-American's Director-European Sales Operations based in Rome, Italy.

Twice a month Mr. Herpesi flies from Rome, Italy to Pretoria, South Africa in the effort to properly service Oilator customers and it was Mr. Nogg who mentioned that perhaps it would be best if you were placed under Mr. Herpesi's sales management team.

If I am not mistaken I believe you speak French as a native language? If so this would be excellent because Mr. Herpesi is fluent in Italian (of course he would be because he is Italian), French and some English but he feels much more comfortable speaking French.

Mr. Herpesi will be writing you probably in the morning to introduce himself.

When Mr. Nogg was speaking to Mr. Herpesi it was brought up that his twice monthly flight takes him right over Lagos, Nigeria and we were wondering if you could meet with him at the airport to establish a personal relationship as well as take possession of approximatley 200 kg of material as well as sign a couple of insurance liability documents the company must have before you are set forth for sales.

I am unsure of the exact day but I believe Mr. Herpesi can be in Lagos in aproximately one week from today his scheduled trip.

How hard is it for you to get to travel to Lagos?

Of course the company will reimburse you for all travel expenses which are as follows:

Dollar amounts are in US Dollars.

Travel Allowance US $0.30 per kilometer traveled. Looking at the map it appears your trip would be approximately 800 kilometers so travel expenses would be paid at a rate of US $240.00 for travel related expenses.

Added to this travel woudl be a per diem allowance US $145.00 per day of travel and we would estimate the travel to be three days for a total of US $435.00.

Total reimbursement for one round trip to Lagos would be US $675.00.

Bear in mind my maps are very limited so if you would tell me the travel distance, whatever that would be, I will authorize Mr. Herpesi to pay you your travel voucher in cash immediately upon meeting in Lagos.

I am sure you understand that our insurance carrier is most adament that we must have in our possession a signed ACCORD Certificate of Insurance prior to adding you to payroll.

While meeting in Lagos Mr. Herpesi would also pay your initial payemnt in cash to avoid confusion at the bank. Why confusion at the bank? We went through a similar operation in South Africa a few months ago and I have to admit we are very wary of African state banks preferring cash for our operations.

Total cash paid (all amounts in US dollars) would be as follows:

Operating capital outlay: US $8,500.00
Reimbursement for warehouse facility useage: US $2,000.00
FIDO/FECAL emergency fund: US $3,750.00 FIDO/FECAL? FIDO is a dog and FECAL is shit so both together mean Dog Shit. What I am going to attempt to do is get Omar here to travel from Gabon to Lagos spending several hundred dollars in air fair that he doesn't have. The purpose of FIDO/FECAL was to simply inflate the amount of money Omar is getting because the original amount, only US $8,000.00 was to small so by inflating maybe Omar will see the advantage of a little international flying.
Travel expenses: US $675.00 (This amount subject to change. You are directed to confer with Mr. Herpesi telling him of your travel arrangements, times it will take and kilometers traveled round trip).

Omar, Mr. Herpesi is planning to be in Lagos a week from today (Monday) and will have with him a total of approximately US $14,925.00 in cash. We understand this is a lot of money in Africa, we are worried for your safety. and I must ask if ou feel you can safely travel back to Gabon with this much cash on your person?

Regarding the ACCORD certificate of insurance you will be required to sign this at the airport upon meeting after which Mr. Herpesi will deliver some basic goods and be on his way. My understanding is that he will only be at the airport a few short hours and it is imperative you meet with him during this time. I will fax you the ACCORD certificate (just a standard insurance certificate adding you as named insured on our policy) but it is really plain stuff.

Let me know when Genitali contacts you or, best yet, Genitali can you make sure you CC everything between you and Omar to me so we know what is going on here?

Take care.

I had some great help on this one in the form of two translators who worked with me. Gabon, being Gabon, is French speaking so I needed a fluent French speaker who would play Mr. Genitali who speaks fluent Italian and French. My thinking here is the more people I bring into the action, the more characters there are, Omar would be more apt to believe this was the real deal. The following is email between me and my first translator. (I will give him full credit once I ask him and he gets back home). Obviously I am using Genitali's email address for this.

Ok, am arranging a trip from Rome (where you live) to south africa going to try to be in Lagos Tuesday morning.

Write to Omar here in french to calm him down. Explain who you are, that you were out of the office and just received the email from Katrina.

Tell him about your trip, you will be laying over in Lagos, that you have been authorized to pay the lad but make sure you ask him the exact mileage so you can work on the travel voucher.

I will cut and paste it sending the email from Mr. Herpesi's company email account.

I want this sucker to travel 1,000 miles for nothing. Talking about a shitty day he'll have one next week.

Explain you will be busy the week in Germany so email will be sporadic. Welcome him aboard and how you have been hoping the company could get someone to represent in Africa blah, blah.

Gunther, this is almost certainly not the way a genuine French business letter would be phrased. However, it is pretty fluently written and correctly spelled and punctuated. It would not disgrace an Italian businessman writing in what is not his native tongue.

Dear Omar

I am GH and I concern myself with sales in Australia and the US. I work in our Rome office.

I was not in my office, but I have receive Katrina's email

I have to be in South Africa on Tuesday. thus I could stop by Lagos on that morning. I have been authorised to reimburse you with your travelling costs, but I must have an exact (repeat exact) account, including the length of your journey in kilometres.

I will be in Germany next week - so you may have some difficulty in contacting me, especially by email.

I will be very happy to meet you and, let us hope, to welcome you as part of the Oilator team. We have had trouble finding a reliable representative in Africa!

Hi Omar!

I am glad he got in contact with you dear but I must confess something... I don't understand a word of French!

If you forward something from Genitali could you be a sweetie and translate it for me?

I haven't heard from Genitali yet but am sure I will before we close out the day.

Genitali is going to set up the meeting we transferred US$16,000.00 to his sales account which should cover everything just make sure you stay in contact with him for the meeting because I know he is very excited to have someone handle the Africa sales for him.

I am sure you will make a great team!

I received this in from Omar he appears really happy to be our sales rep.

You plan to be in Lagos on Tuesday morning and he needs to be there.

Tell him you received authorization to give him the cash.... I think this guy is pushing the limit on the expense account so let's give him everything he deserves.

You are going to work closely with him... you are going to be best buddies and you will make him rich.

In reply, please note that I am called Omar N Ogbonna. And I am happy to be the African representative for the Australo-American company Oilator.

In fact, Katrina told me of your trip and our meeting in Lagos.

She also told me that my costs would be reimbursed, in cash, for the sum detailed below

So, in reading your message, I note that you are ready to travel. Unfortunately I have only just been informed of this, and just ask you for a few days to sort things out (exactly four days).

Concerning your departure from Germany, please can I have your mobile number. Here is mine: (snip).

This is excellent!

Now to make him up a professional looking ticket confirmation and the meeting is set up.

I would love for him to parade around the airport looking for you carrying a sign declaring "I Have Genital Herpes" but that is a bit much even for a lad.

You are helping greatly in the MODALIITES of seting up this with me... thanks.

Ok, just a thought... what would you say in French (and do you think it would be a good idea) for you to email telling you tried to contact him on his cell phone but the call wouldn't go through?

Also, tell the thick lad email is better because it is cheaper.. you have a palm pilot and can get the signal about anywhere in Europe so phones are useless.

However I think you should tell him you made the effort to call not once but twice.

Oh, and off handed tell him you heard Katrina was going to be out of the office the rest of the week her father got sick at the hospital and she had to fly to home to Minneapolis or something and in this way our thick lad wont pester her.

Is he saying it takes four days to travel from his shithole to Lagos?

This lad is really thick.

Need to confirm the lads figures below are correct and that you have been authorized to pay him US$14,995.00 cash upon your arrival in Lagos. All he needs to do is sign a receipt saying he received it from you.

Tell him to prepare to leave so he can meet you at the airport Tuesday morning.

To save space I simply pasted Omar's email into this one.

My dear Katrina,

Bellow is my message I had sent to Mr Genitali.

Moreover, my problem is that, Mr Genitali is talking only the payment of my trip to Lagos without mentioning the whole amount as you have confirmed to me.

Therefore kindly get in touch with him for further clarification.

Thanks for your prompt response,

You are going to be there only 2 hours 20 minutes.

I need a letter in french sending him a scan of this ticket (remark on how all tickets are purchased out of Houston, Texas by corporate and they sent you this fax (I will grayscale it when I send it to him so it appears faxy).

Also remark that attached is a scan of your passport so he knows you when you get off the plane.

This guy is spending $310 for a flight from Gabon? Jesus! He is sooooooo screwed!

Remark you are going ot be with family in Palermo over the weekend.. wish him well, get wordy and let's convince the hell out of him. Also, remark you hear Katrina's father was sent to the hospital and she went to Denver, Colorado to help her mother.. has Omar heard anything blah, blah. (Why? Cuz I am tired of talking to the fucker and want his contacts to dry up. I just want him at the Lagos airport holding a sign "Genitali Herpesi"

Here it is on Sunday and Omar has only 18 more hours to catch the flight so we decide to butter him up/make him feel good. At this time all games are off because we do not want to blow this... anything just get Omar on that damn plane!

Here is a rough translation of the friendly message sent above.

Dear Omar,

Really sorry but as I had explained you I were near my family and it was very difficult to have access to Internet.

To return to your selection near the company, still allow me to congratulate you on this single opportunity. You made object long and rigorous selection of which it appears that you were the best candidate for the station.

The spot will not be easy, will ask much work and courage, but I must acknowledge you that to date, I Never found a business as lucrative as this one. Your efforts will be financially highly rewarded. This chance once in a lifetime but I am convinced that you will be able to seize it and to be with the height.

I will not fail to telephone to you as of Monday to answer your possible questions.

Rebonjour Omar,

Ce petit message car il me semble avoir oublié de vous communiquer mon numéro de téléphone dans mon email précédent, alors le voici : 0039.3356379245 N?hésitez pas à me contacter à votre meilleure convenance, cependant si vous désirez me contacter encore aujourd?hui dimanche, faites le si possible après 9h00, en espérant que cela ne soit pas trop tard pour vous. Je ne serai vraiment pas joignable avant.

Pourriez-vous aussi me communiquer les coordonnées de votre hôtel à Lagos.

Au risque de me répéter, je suis vraiment fier de pouvoir compter sur votre personne, sur vos compétences et vos qualités qui ne font aucun doute. Il est dans la mentalité de l?entreprise d?apprécier les gens de valeur et de leur donner la chance qu?ils méritent. Cette chance, mon cher Omar, nous vous la donnerons comme il se doit.

Comment va votre épouse ? La mienne se porte très bien, depuis que je lui ai parlé de vous, celle-ci n?arrête pas de me poser des questions sur vous et votre famille et s?est mise en tête qu?il fallait impérativement que l?on se voie en Janvier en Afrique du Sud pour une semaine. Moi et mon épouse n?avons que très peu de temps pour nous-mêmes et ce serait une très agréable opportunité de se rencontrer et de passer un bon moment ensemble. Faites-moi savoir ce que vous en pensez de sorte que je puisse me libérer en conséquence.

Je suis en tous cas très impatient de vous rejoindre à Lagos et vous souhaite un bon voyage.

Genitali

Dear Omar,

This small message because it seems me to have forgotten to communicate to you my telephone number in my preceding email, then here: 0039.33563xxxxx (this number is the number of a Rome museum that is closed on Sunday and Monday so if he calls he'll simply get a message in Italian the museum is closed. At worse it is home Omar will simply believe he copied the wrong number) do not hesitate to contact me with your best suitability, however if you wish to still contact me aujourd?today Sunday, make if possible after 9h00, by hoping that that is not too late for you. I will really not be front joignable.

Could you to also communicate me the co-ordinates of your hotel in Lagos.

With the risk to repeat me, I am really proud to be able to count on your person, on your competences and your qualities which are not any doubt. It is in the mentality of company to appreciate people of value and to give them chance qu?they deserve. This chance, my dear Omar, we will give it to you as it should be.

Let know to me what you think so that I can release myself consequently.
