(Fax) to my direct confidential Fax No: 234 1 7591666 Dr. Kataga Bakori Lagos, Nigeria. 23rd July 2002 Attention President/C.E.O Dear Sir, REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. Firstly I must solicit your strictest confidence in this subject. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret. A member of the Nigeria Export Promotion Council (N.E.P.C.) who was part of the federal government delegation to your country during a trade exhibition gave your particulars to me. I have decided to seek a confidential operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all the parties and hope that you keep it top secret because of the nature of the business. Within the ministry of petroleum resources where I work as a director of engineering and projects, and with the co-operation of four other very top officials, we have under our control as overdue contract payments, bills totaling Thirty One Million United States Dollars, which we want to transfer to a foreign account, with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company to receive the said funds on our behalf or a reliable foreign individual account to receive the funds. The source of the fund is as follows: during the last military government here in Nigeria which lasted bout eleven months, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves various contracts which were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries. The present civilian government is not aware of the atrocities committed by their predecessors and as a result, we have a lot of such over invoiced contract payment s pending which we have identified floating at the central bank of Nigeria ready for payment. However by virtue of our position as civil servants, we cannot acquire this money in our names. I was therefore delegated as a matter of urgency by my colleagues to look for an over seas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$31,000,000.00 (THIRTY ONE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS) hence we are writing you this letter. the present civilian government is determined to pay foreign contractors l debts owed so as to maintain an amiable relationship with foreign governments and non-government financial agencies. We have decided to include our bills for approval with the co-operation of some officials of the federal ministry of finance (F.M.F) and the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N). We are seeking your assistance in providing us with a good company account or any other offshore bank account into which we can remit this money by acting our main partner and trustee or acting as the original contractor. This we can do by swapping of account information and changing of beneficiary and other pertinent information to apply for payment. By this act, we would be using your company information to apply for payment, and prepare letters of claim and job description on behalf of your company. This process would be an internal arrangement with the departments concerned. I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in this transaction, your share as compensation will be us$6.2 million (20%), us$21.7 million (70%) for us and us$3.1 (10%) for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe, provided you treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Also your area of specialization is not m hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. I will bring the complete picture of the transaction to your knowledge when I have heard from you. Thanks for your co-operation, Yours faithfully, Dr. Kataga Bakori NB: Please respond by sending a facsimile (Fax) to my direct confidential Fax No: 234 1 7591666

Strictly Private.
by Donald Phiri 23 Jul '02

Gooday, With warm heart my friend, I send you my greetings, and I hope this letter meets you in good time. It will be surprising to you to receive this proposal from me since you do not know me personally. However, I am sincerely seeking your confidence in this transaction, which I propose with my free mind and as a person of intergrity. I have kept it to myself for a long time, and now I need to act, as time is not on my side. I want you to open-heartedly read through and give me your most needed support. I got your address from an internet directory, in my search for a contact. I apologize if this is not acceptable to you. The purpose of this letter is to seek your most needed assistance. My name is Donald Phiri, the farm supervisor and personal assistant to Mr. David Stevens, a very popular and rich farmer from Macheke, Zimbabwe. My master was murdered in cold blood in my presence on 15 of April 2001, due to the land dispute and political situation in my country, as a result of my master's financial support for the MDC (Movement for Democratic Change), the main opposition party to President Mugabe's party, Zimbabwe African National Union Patriotic Front (ZANU-PF) . For more information on my master's murder, you may check the Amnesty International Country Report on Zimbabwe for the year 2001. When the pressure on white farmers started in Zimbabwe due to the support given to the war veterans by President Mugabe to invade farms and force out white farmers, my master forsaw the danger ahead, he then closed his major bank accounts, and together, we went to Johannesburg, South Africa to deposit the sum of $14.5 million (Fourten million, five hundred thousand USdollars), in a private security company, for safety. This money was deposited in a box in my name, as my master was being secretive with his name, as the South African government of Thambo Mbeki is in support of President Mugabe's actions. The box is labeled as gemstones. My master had planned to use this money for the purchase of lands, new machines and chemicals for establishment of new farms in Botswana. He has used this company in the past to move money for the purchase of tractors and farm equipment from Europe. My master is divorced, and his wife Valerie, and only child, Diana have relocated to Bradford, ! En! gland for 9years now. I am currently in the Netherlands where I am seeking political asylum. I have now decided to transfer my master's money into an account for security and safety reasons. This is why I am anxiously and humbly seeking for your genuine assistance in transfering this money into an account without the knowledge of my government who are bent on taking everything my master left. You have to understand that this decision taken by me entrusts so much to you. If you accept to assist me, all I want you to do for me, is to make an arrangements with the security company to clear the box containing the money from their office here in the Netherlands, and then we will transfer the money into an account. You may open a new account for this purpose. I have applied to the security company to transfer the box from South Africa to their branch here, which they have done. To legally process the claim of the box, I will contact a lawyer to help me prepare a change of ownership and letter of authority to enable them recognise you as my representative, and deliver the box to you. I have with me, the certificate used to deposit the box, which we will need for claiming the box. For valuable assistance, I am offering you 10%($1,450,000) of the total money. I have also set aside 1%($145,000) of this money for all kinds of expenses that come our way in the process of this transaction, and 4%($580,000), will be given to Charity in my master's name I will give 25% ($3,625,000) to Valerie and Diana, after my share of the money has been transfered back to me. When they grant my asylum application, my share of the money (85%), will be transfered back to me, into an account I will solely own. I also intend to start up a business then. If you have knowledge of farming business in your country, or other areas of possible business investment that I may be interested in, please inform me, so that my some of my share of the money can be invested for the time being. Please, I want to you maintain absolute secrecy for the purpose of this transaction due to my safety and successful conclusion of the transaction. I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I am sure it will be nice to extend ties with you. Yours sincerely, Donald Phiri.

The Peter Trei,RSA,China slime trail.

"...during a 1997 interview, Adm. James McConnell, former director of the National Security Agency, confirmed that the Clinton administration gave the sophisticated key recovery surveillance technology to communist China in 1996. McConnell noted that the advanced technology gives China the power to electronically lock out U.S. intelligence monitoring and lock in the Chinese population. "Even if the Chinese use weak encryption the sheer volume of their communications will make it impossible for us to monitor. If China were to erect a public key infrastructure it will severely impact our intelligence gathering ability," stated McConnell. He also stated that Clinton was aware that the advanced surveillance technology might be abused by hostile foreign powers. "Can Key Recovery be used against dissidents and political opponents?" asked Adm. McConnell. "In a word, YES," he concluded emphatically..." http://www.rsasecurity.com/news/pr/960202.html Hong Kong RSA Security BV Suite 4302, 43rd/Fl Central Plaza, 18 Harbour Road Wanchai Hong Kong Tel: + 852 2511 1381 Fax: + 852 2511 1382 greaterchina(a)rsasecurity.com Beijing, China RSA Security Inc Suite 623, Office Building 2, Beijing Bright China Chang An Building, No 7, Jianguomen Nei Dajie Dongcheng District, Beijing, China Postcode: 100005 Tel: + 86-10-65187838 Fax: +86-10-65187837 greaterchina(a)rsasecurity.com Shanghai, China RSA Security Inc RM 2401 Shanghai Time Square 93 Middle Huai Hai Road Shanghai 200021 China Tel: + 86 21 63910210-3 Fax: + 86 21 63910212 greaterchina(a)rsasecurity.com No Progress on Human Rights in China FROM http://www.hrw.org/asia/china.php Damn you to hell Trei.

Internet Terrorism Dave Cummings writes: If any of you have involved any government authorities in any aspect of the past emails from the below person (aka: bryan sullivan?), please let FBI Special Agent Mike Wagoner at the San Diego FBI office (858-499-7736) know so that he can contact those agencies and integrate information and coordinate with them on any ongoing investigations -- the San Diego FBI has now opened an active investigation into the below email, and others of a threatening nature that seem of concern to them. I've advised FBI Agent Wagoner that there was a posting a few months ago about the St Louis FBI office supposedly having contacted the individual; I also advised him that I reported the below email to the Army's Criminal Investigative Division and Department of Defense, in case "war crimes" might be involved. And, that my copy of the "Chad Luke" latter was faxed, as requested by them, to Postal Inspectors (just in case, as some folks have speculated, the letters many of us received might possibly have actually been from bryan sullivan). The FBI asked that I place my letter and envelope into a sealed plastic bag in case it might later be needed for examination for fingerprints and other tracings of evidence--if you still have your copy, you might want to do likewise? If sullivan gets wind of this email, I imagine that there might soon be emails forthcoming from him (possibly disguised as another name/sender?) with disparaging remarks about me; but, though I strongly and wholeheartedly defend his right of free speech and right to voice his opinions, I feel that we all have a responsibility to report info of a possible criminal nature to the authorities. Again, so that the FBI has access to ALL info that might be being processed presently by other agencies, please advise FBI Agent Wagoner of anything you might have initiated--to email him, use sandiego(a)fbi.gov and make the subject "For Special Agent Mike Wagoner", or phone him at 858-499-7736.
