>From the desk of: DR. GREG ODILI Email: (gregody(a)rediffmail.com & gregody(a)maktoob.com) Fax : 234-1-4401020 Lagos, Nigeria. Kindest attention , REQUEST FOR AN URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP After due deliberation with my colleagues, I have decided to forward to you this business proposal. We want a reliable person who could assist us to transfer the sum of Twenty Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($20,500,000) into his / her account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced bill from contracts awarded by us under the budget allocation to my Ministry and this bill has been approved for payment by the concerned authorities. The contract has since been executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid the actual cost of the contract. We are left with the balance US$20.5M as part of the over-invoiced amount which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. But under our protocol division, civil servants are forbidden to operate or own foreign accounts. This is why I am contacting you to be our custodian for this fund. As you may want to know and to make you less curious, I got your address from a site in the internet that portrayed you (your establishment) in good light. I am the Chief Accountant/Internal Auditor of the Contract Award Committee (C.A.C.) of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). This transaction is very much free from all sorts of RISKS and TROUBLE from my Government. We the N.N.P.C. Officials involved in this deal have put in many years in service to this Ministry. We have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long and to us, this is a life time opportunity we cannot afford to miss. You need not to worry about the responsibilities of transferring this fund into your account, because all the administrative step needed for the transfer of this fund into your designated bank account will be done by me. We have agreed to COMPENSATE you duly if agreement is reached by both of us. My colleague and I will come to your country to arrange for our share, upon the confirmation from you that the money has been credited into your nominated bank account. Consequent upon your acceptance of this proposal, kindly confirm your interest by sending me a revert email at the email account below (gregody(a)rediffmail.com & gregody(a)maktoob.com) Your indication by revert email to me of your sincere and serious interest will enable me send you the PROCEDURE FOR OPERATION. NOTE: In the event of your inability to handle this transaction please inform us so that we can look for another reliable person who can assist in this respect. It might surprise you why we choose you and trusted you for this transaction. Yes, we believe that good friends can be discovered and business like this can not be executed without trust. This is why we have decided to trust you for this transaction. We are looking forward to doing this transaction with you. Be further informed that everybodys interest and security had been considered before you were contacted, so be rest assured and feel free to go into this transaction with us. But let Honesty and Trust be our watchword throughout this transaction and your prompt reply will be highly appreciated. Thank you and God bless. Best Regards, DR. GREG ODILI. NB: If you want to send me an e-mail massage, please use the above listed e-mail address (gregody(a)rediffmail.com & gregody(a)maktoob.com) for confidential reasons.

Microsoft nixes TV copy protection By Joe Wilcox Staff Writer, CNET News.com October 9, 2002, 9:19 AM PT Microsoft has bowed to consumer pressure and pulled back from a controversial plan that would have encrypted TV shows recorded on forthcoming digital media PCs. http://news.com.com/2100-1040-961376.html?tag=lh "War is just a racket ... something that is not what it seems to the majority of people. Only a small group knows what its about. It is conducted for the benefit of the very few at the expense of the masses." --- Major General Smedley Butler, 1933

AF developing DEA Wiretap Echelon-like Development Projects
by Bill Stewart 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

The following web page is about recent projects at the Air Force Research Laboratory. Item 8 is about new wiretap technology, designed to monitor large numbers of conversations for drug activity. The accompanying artwork has a large and small version of a wiretapper logo, which should be possible to abuse for something :-) http://www.afrl.af.mil/accomprpt/may02/accompmay02.htm Google cache: http://216.239.53.100/search?q=cache:wHZ4vsieDNkC:www.afrl.af.mil/accomprpt… Wiretapper Logo: http://www.afrl.af.mil/accomprpt/may02/images/may_8.gif The Information Directorate's Multisensor Exploitation Branch and Research Associates for Defense Conversion (RADC) jointly developed, tested, and demonstrated an experimental model capability that automatically extracts information from telephone background sounds and conversational speech to identify drug networks and the participants. The work, sponsored by the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA), addresses the problem of monitoring large numbers of telephone conversations for drug activity, while protecting the privacy of citizens in accordance with wiretap laws. The capability called Automated Title Three Audio Correlation (ATTAC) makes it possible to automatically segment and flag drug- related activity and identify its participants without understanding the message content of the conversation. A background sound recognizer technology identifies sounds, such as dial tone, number dialed, ringing, and other sounds, while a Vector Quantization speaker-recognition technology identifies the persons involved in the conversations. The DEA and RADC collected a database of conversations through 74 individuals who made over 1300 calls from cellular phones, and office phones, and who used message machines. The results in identifying the participants in conversational speech varied widely. DEA and RADC technicians obtained good results (90%) when individuals used the same phones; however, when the same individuals used different phones, the performance could drop to as low as 55%. The directorate is conducting research work to improve recognition across multiple phone types. Although the directorate developed ATTAC for DEA use, the technology developed advances the state-of-the-art in speaker segmentation and in information extraction for the Air Force intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance mission.

PREPOSITION
by MRS MARIAM SESE-SEKO 08 Oct '02

08 Oct '02

Dear friend, I am Mrs. Sese-seko widow of late President Mobutu Sese-seko of Zaire, now known as Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). I am moved to write you this letter. This was in confidence considering my present circumstance and situation. I escaped along with my husband and two of our sons Emmanuel and Basher out of Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) to Abidjan, Cote d'ivoire where my family and I settled, while we later moved to settled in Morroco where my husband later died of cancer disease. However, due to this situation we decided to change most of my husband's billions of dollars deposited in Swiss bank and other countries into other forms of money coded for safe purpose because the new head of state of (Dr) Mr Laurent Kabila has made arrangement with the Swiss government and other European countries to freeze all my late husband's treasures deposited in some european countries. Hence, my children and I decided laying low in Africa to study the situation till when things gets better. Like now that president Kabila is dead and the son taking over (Joseph Kabila). One of my late husband's chateaux in Southern France was confiscated by the french government, and as such I had to change my identity so that my investment will not be traced and confiscated. I have deposited the sum Eighteen Million United State Dollars (US$18,000,000,00.) With a security company for safe keeping. What I want you to do is to indicate your interest that you can assist us in receiving the money on our behalf, so that I can introduce you to my son (Emmanuel) who has the out modalities for the claim of the said funds. I want you to assist in investing this money, but I will not want my identity revealed. I will also want to acquire real landed properties and stock in multi-national companies and to engage in other safe and non-speculative investments as advise by your good self. May I at this point emphasize the high level of confidentiality, which this upcoming project demands, and hope you will not betray the trust and confidence, which I repose in you.In conclusion, if you want to assist us, my son (Emmanuel) shall divulge to you all briefs regarding this project, tell you where the funds are currently being maintained and also discuss remuneration for your services.For this reason kindly furnish us your contact information,that is your personal telephone and fax number for validation purpose and acknowledge receipt of this mail using my confidential email address (doe_100(a)hotvoice.com) Yours sincerely, Mrs. Mariam M. Seseseko.
