See, all I need is $500,000 and … oh wait, they only want a Promissory Note to release my funds. Heck, anybody who knows me wouldn’t give me a 5¢ loan on a 10¢ gumball with a nickel down, so I gots no problems with this puppy! Forget crowdfunding – this sucker’s all mine…bwahahahahahaha *cough*
From Mr. James Davis
My name is Mr. James Davis, Director Zenith Bank Nigeria Plc I am contacting based on a recent meeting held with the Office of the Presidency, Federal Republic of Nigeria in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Finance and Senate committee Budget Planning Unite, National House of Assembly-Federal Republic of Nigeria. After the meeting, it was agreed that you will receive a “Part Payment” of Eighteen Million United States Dollars Only {US$18,000,000.00} out of your long complicated outstanding payment.
Why we did this, is because according to information gathered from the banks computer, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your money without success, as I found out that you have almost met all the statutory requirements of the Zenith Bank, in respect of your contract payment, your problem is that of interest groups. I am willing to help you get your money but please for security reasons do not tell anybody that you have your money until you receive cash at your doorstep. This is something we want to avoid because the boxes were padded with machine. We told the courier service that the boxes contains photographic and film materials and when opened will loose its efficacy. We did not declare money because courier service does not carry money.
In your subsequence response I shall send you the details of the courier company which will be in charge of the delivery to your location, we have concluded that you must compensate us with $500,000 United States dollars as soon as you receive your money. To this effect, you will send us a promissory note for $500,000 United States dollars along with your address for sending the boxes by courier. Please maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause a lot of problems if found out that we are using this way to help you, do not ever tell anybody about this until you have your money.

Photo is from Eyes to the Skies, the annual Lisle hot air balloon festival/craft fair/carnival. We get there between noon and 3 to get our hands stamped for free entrance, walk around and check out the food (and coupons!), then return later for the fireworks. That’s been the pattern for years, but since the weather is so mild, we might stay a bit longer this afternoon (usually it’s hot and sticky – you know, typical July in Chicago weather). Other change is DH is working out of town this week and that’s a first as well – positive side to that is PITA and I can stop at each and every craft stall in peace!
