Are you implying that Lance Cottrell is making anonymous surfing data available to security agencies? That is a strong accusation and if you want to make it, you should do so explicitly. You are calling him a liar and a fraud. Nothing in the article you quote gives you any foundation for such a claim. All it says is that agencies are using Anonymizer to browse anonymously, just like its other customers. Any crypto technology, if it is truly useful, can be used by government agencies as well as others. One might as well accuse you of conspiracy since cryptome often serves TLAs: You fraud! You are saving people's access patterns to your files and making them available to the police! How dare you! These accusations are as unfounded as those you made against Lance. Those who make such claims should provide evidence and not innuendo. > http://www.cnn.com/2001/TECH/internet/11/20/privacy.reut/index.html > > One company that is still making money off privacy is > Anonymizer.com, a San Diego-based company that offers > anonymous Web surfing for $50 a year, or $5 a month.

PROPOSAL
by ALLI KATSINA 25 Nov '01

25 Nov '01

Dr ALLI KATSINA NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, FALOMO- LAGOS, NIGERIA. Tel:234.1.7752307 Fax: 234-1-7597054 Dear Sir, BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$ 25.5 M (TWENTY FIVE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS). First, I must solicit your trust and strictest confidence in this transaction; this is by nature of the top-secret information I am about to divulge to you. You were introduced to us by a mutual acquaintance from the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, Foreign Trade Division, who does not know of the nature of what I am about to introduce to you. He only knows that I have some funds to invest abroad, hence he recommended you. I am the Director of Engineering & Project of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (N.N.P.C) in Lagos, Nigeria. I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$41,500,000.00 into your private company account for mutual benefits. This money came about as a result of a contract for the supply of two thousand, three hundred and sixty-seven computer unit, installation and the Y2K compliance turn-around maintenance executed on behalf of my Ministry (N.N.P.C), in the year 1999. This contract was officially assigned to be awarded and executed by two foreign contractors at the tune of US$105,500,000.00, but in the course of my negotiation, I bargained with only one foreign contractor, a Bulgarian firm which now executed the contract at the cost ofUS$64.000.000.00. Thus leaving the remaining US$41.5M floating in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) to the benefits of we the three members of the contract award panel unknown to the contractor and any other person in my Ministry. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is presently securing his payment from my Ministry. It is however to this effect that I seek your maximum assistance and approval to present your company name alongside with the Bulgarian contractor as the second foreign contractor to enable me transfer the difference (US$41.5M) into your account for further investment depending on your advice. On actualization of the transaction, the funds will be shared thus: 1. 30% of the money go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the funds. 2. 10% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the course of the transaction for insurance phone bills, documentation etc. 3. 60% to we three members of the Contract Award Panel. All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the smooth actualization of the transaction within fourteen working days of commencement after receipt of the following information by fax: Your companys Name. Address. Phone/Fax number and activities. Also, if we opt for electronic transfer only other than payment by solar bank draft or cash call programme, then your bank account particulars. The above information will enable me make the application and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries in favour of your company or name and it is pertinent to state here that this deal is entirely based on trust and the fear of God. If you are able to handle, feel free to reach me by fax on: 234-1-7597054. Also furnish me with your own phone and fax numbers, as I will be sending you immediately I receive your positive response some classified documents. Thanks in anticipation for your positive response. Yours faithfully. DR ALLI KATSINA
