well here is the latest news from my nigerian friend

Dear AB,

Thank you very much for your mail, please fill the attached form and send it to my london fax line , It is the filled and signed form that we are going to use to put in the initial application for this business.
I want you to know that this business is a deal and we have to remain in government to make sure that it goes well more so it is not time for us to retire from government , once we pull this deal through we can then consider retiring from the government. It will be foolish of us to retire when we have not executed this business.

Your account in U.K is okay, the bottom line is that we want to front you as a foreigner that came to execute contract in my country and now you are seeking your contract entitlements.

your role in this busines is defined , you just follow my instructions and we will all be smiling at the end of the day .

fill the forms and send it as soon as possible

hmmmm wonder if I can find one of those fax/copy places to send it from - bound to be one around here somewhere.

oh and my reply

Fredrick,
hope you had a good weekend. Thanks for clarifying your
postion with why you must remain in your current role in order to
process this deal.

I do however sense your impatience within the email and for that I
appologise. You must however remember that it is an awful lot of money
we are talking about and I just want to make sure everything runs
smoothly once we start to process the deal.

I received the Fax number to send the form to but there was no
attachment with the email. Do you want me to complete the previous
form and fax that or is it a different one you forgot to attach?

thanks

AB
