Box 3716, Safat 13038, Kuwait Phone: 965-244-0368 FAX: 965-246-3190 E-Mail: johnson@ilic.net   _____       >From Mr.Smith kone. Rue 6 bp cocody Abidjan, Cote d Ivoire. 00225 07 68 27 28.   ATTN : MANAGING DIRECTOR   Dear Sir,   I am writing this letter out of a genuine desperation to 
          find a reliable partner in the unfolding transaction. I have been unjustly 
          treated by my partner in a transaction so,I seek your help, attention and 
          genuine co-operation to our mutual benefit and 1 believe that you 
          will not let down the trust and confidence 1 am about to repose on you.   Iam Mr.Smith kone.,from COTE D IVOIRY and for the past ten 
          years, I have been working in a public Relations firm that pays me about 
          two hundred dollars each month. On the 30th of June, our company made 
          a Very big financial breakthrough when we made contact with ALHAJI.C.G 
          MUSTAFAR and began to supply him his cow vaccine named LIM KXT COW 
          VACCINE. ALHAJI.C.G MUSTAFAR is 
          THE PRESIDENT OF MUSTAFAR GROUP COMPANY )He is a millionaire farmer 
          with CATTLE FARMS in all part of AFRICA , and a new one located at ZIMBABWE. 
          Moreover, he is the greatest supplier of cattle beef and other 
          dairy products to the whole of West Africa. HE had informed us about the huge amount of money he spends 
          on the purchase of a particular but very important cattle medicine. Precisely, he buys US$ 5,000 per carton. He 
          asked if our organization can source for a cheaper supplier.   We did market research and discovered that we can buy these 
          vaccines in Europe for US$2,000 per carton. We moved a proposal to MUSTAFAR GROUP COMPANY, to supply him at US$4,800 per carton, which they 
          accepted. As these supplies progressed 
          and our company is doing fine, I requested to my boss for an increase in our salary. He was so upset 
          that he wanted to sacked me without benefits and ten years of dedicated workmanship.   I was so desperate that I went to the MUSTAFAR GROUP COMPANY 
          farms and informed ALHAJI.C.G MUSTAFAR that I have a foreign contact 
          that will be willing to supply him this same products at US$4,400. Per 
          carton. ALHAJI.C.G MUSTAFAR in turn confided to me that he is about 
          to place order for one thousand cartons following a suspected outbreak 
          of disease in his farms. I assured ALHAJI.C.G MUSTAFAR that my foreign 
          contact will be in the position to manufacture and supply to him, infact 
          I convinced him that my former boss usually buy from my foreign contact 
          and that is why he sales to him at a higher price. HOWEVER,I INFORMED 
          ALHAJI.C.G MUSTAFAR THAT HE WILL 
          HAVE TO PAY CASH IN ADVANCE BEFORE MY FORIEGN CONTACT WILL SUPPLY TO 
          HIM. For the moment he has stopped 
          all contact with my boss. Please consider on how to handle this profitable 
          Project and kindly contact me immediately on my number 00225 07 68 27 
          28 for details and negotiations as regards my commission. However, 
          I will insist that my commission will be 20% of the total profit.   Note: We will buy one thousand cartons at US$2,000,000. 
          We sell to them at US$4,400,000 Dollars; our client pays cash before lifting 
          of the goods. (They must not know our purchase point in Europe).   Thanks and God bless you.   Mr.Smith kone.     --     (and from other countries, too)   Name: Khin Myint Lwin E-Mail: mythlwin@netscape.net Yangoon (Myanmar)   Dear Sir/Madam,   I apologize for the unexpected nature of this mail. I got 
          your e-mail address from the Thailand intercontinental peace group.   I am Khin Myint Lwin, 55, Chinese/Burmese, and the leader 
          of the Myanmar Kyone Yeom Group headquartered in Mong Yawn, Myanmar. We 
          engage in Real Estate, food processing and the transportation of Chinese, 
          Thai and Burmese migrant workers to destinations around the globe.   I am writing you from my Yangoon home where I await my appeal 
          case against a 37 years jail sentence I received for alleged human trafficking, 
          illegal sale of gold and running a prostitution ring. I am currently 
          under house arrest. My appeal hearing is set for December 2003.   These are all trumped-up charges. One of my boats carrying 
          migrant workers to Singapore last year was hit by waves and sank killing 
          87 passengers.   It was an accident but the government used this to arrest 
          me because they suspected me of funding the Karen National Liberation Army 
          (KNLA), a rebel movement fighting for the rights of the Karen ethnic group 
          in Myanmar.   The government has also seized most of my assets valued at 
          nearly one Billion dollars ($973,000,000.00) in Myanmar, Thailand and China.   My wife and three daughters (8,12,14) are now staying with 
          my mother in-law in Mandalay. They now face a severe disruption in their livelihood 
          and the education of my daughters is in jeopardy. This feels me with 
          so much pain. My wife and daughters are my main concern right now.   I have a cash account deposit I made in the Netherlands, 
          which the Burmese government didn't know about. When I liquidated my flower 
          and electronic companies in the Netherlands in 2002, I deposited the proceeds 
          of Eleven million dollars ($11,000,000.00) in a securities firm in 
          the Netherlands while I was negotiating the take-over of a telecom company 
          in Germany.   Right now, I need this money so I could get the best lawyer 
          for my appeal case coming up in December and most of all get my family 
          out of Myanmar to a safer country. They face constant harassment from government 
          agents.   I need your assistance to get some of this money through 
          to my wife and daughters who are in Mandalay, Myanmar. Your responsibility 
          will be to assume the new ownership of the money. Transfer this money 
          into your own account for safety first.   You will keep 20% for your efforts. You will then send my 
          share in bits as I direct you to my mother-in-law or my wife in Myanmar. This 
          will enable my family to leave Myanmar. I can also get the best lawyer and 
          lobby power and most possibly be free soonest.   If you decide to help me, what you have to do is send me 
          your full Name, Address, Date of Birth, and Nationality. Use the e-mail address 
          above.   I will contact the securities company in the Netherlands 
          and have the ownership changed to yours. I can do this online and via 
          email. Luckily, I can monitor the status of my deposit via the Internet with 
          my login info.   When all is done, the company will contact you about your 
          new status. They will tell you what to do. Most of their transactions can 
          also be done online. After that, you carry out the directives as explained 
          above.   If you do this, I will be personally grateful to you in many 
          ways. Not only in the 20% of ($11M) reward you will get, but also when I 
          am free, as I know I will soon, I will show you what it means to do me a favor.   If you can't, or decide not to, I will understand. Thanks 
          for your attention anyhow.     Khin Myint Lwin     -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------    Wasco   I received three responses even one from a former employee of Wasco. He gave me the phone number for my lessee to call 
          at Citi to get his letter of termination in lieu of the UCC-3 filing. Your 
          newsletter really does have a great following.   Thanks Bill Clark
