But of an update:

Mr Hudson,

I have been at work all day but my family say they received no calls on the number I supplied. I understand if you are being discrete - this is probably a good idea as I do not really want them to know about our little arrangement. If you do call on that number please do not mention anything about the transaction and just say you are a work colleague from 'Sainsbury's at Charlton'. They will just think we work together. If they ask why you are calling just say it is to do with a shift change over the weekend. They won't ask any more questions but if they do just explain you need to speak to me. I am working different shifts early, late and sometimes night shift so e-mail is probably the best way to contact me if it is not urgent. When I get to know you better I will give you my work number so you can get me in the warehouse but I would rather not give this out just yet until we have a 'cover story' (I know this term as I watch a lot of undercover police dramas!) to explain who you are and why you are calling etc.

Anyway, are you able to give me any more details or answers to my questions below?

Many thanks,

Jim





Dear James,
Once again thank you for you understanding and noble interest in this event.

Sequel to your gentle questions, .1. Escrow account is an account that establishes in foreign domant shape, that cannot be tampered locally rather can only be turned / transferreda into a foreign bank account before use. .2. Your interest/beneif expecting is exactly 30% of the total sum which should be ONE MILLION FIFTY THOUSND BRITISH POUNDS. .3.. This transaction can last for just few working days pending how fast you communicate with the bank and how urgent and pressure you mandate the bank to attend to you and transfer your fund.

This is a very good business. Whjat i require is your trust as to not betray me when the money hit your account. You do not need to be a banker or an expert banker before you can make this deal workout, all you need to do is to remain secretive and follow up the procedure that the bank will outline accordingly, and also following and maintaining my instructions and directives. You should not be afariad of anything regarding this venture cos am here to work underground and monitore every situation and release vital informations to you untill the transfer is made and confirmed in your account. Then i shall schedule a plan on how to travel to meet with you for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentage previousely indicated and further investment in your country or anywhere you may advice me to cos i intend to retire from service as soon as possible.

Mr Hudson

I can assure you that you have my total discretion. I have not (and will not!) mentioned this to any other person. I am also assure you that I will not be greedy and take even one penny of the money more than the £1050000 agreed. This is more money than I can ever hope to spend in the rest of my lifetime so I would have no reason to even consider keeping the rest of the money.

What exactly do I tell my bank? How do I tell them that my account will soon be £3.5 million pounds? Are they likely to ask me any awkward questions or notify the authorities as this is quite some sum of money. My account currently only has about ten thousand pounds in it and this is the most that has been in there for some time so they might be suspicious of a sudden deposit of 3.5 million. They won't think I am a drug dealer or something will they? I know very little of banking procedures so I rely on your expertise here.

Many thanks,

Jim

Mr Hudson,

Thank you for your swift response. I am poised to send the form but first I would like to speak with on the phone, even just for a couple of minutes. I feel this is important to me seeing as it is such a large amount of money we are talking about. Please do not be insulted by this. It will literally just take a few minutes. Once I have spoken with you my trust in you will be complete.

This morning I bought a mobile phone. I decided it is not ideal to speak with you on my family's home phone. The number is 07017 362***. I have tested it and it has been connected. I will have this phone switched on when not at work. I will need to have it off at work as we are not allowed to carry phones in the warehouse. Also I will switch if off at night - my family may become suspicious if I am receiving calls at 3 o'clock in the morning. I do not know what the time difference is between our two countries (plus the fact I work different shifts from day to day) so cannot advice the best time to call. However, if my phone is off please leave a message as I understand it will transfer to voicemail. I only wish to speak very briefly just to reassure myself that I am not the victim of some elabarate schoolboy prank or something. Once we have spoken I will send the form directly.

Once again please do not think me rude and please be sure to ring me as soon as possible.

Kind regards,

Jim




I have blanked out the last three digits of the phone number as I don't want any of you tossers ring up pretending to be Mr Hudson!

I have created a free mobile number that diverts to voicemail. The voicemail then gets sent to my e-mail address as an audio file. This way I can hear what he has to say without ever giving him any of my real phone numbers. It also adds a bit of authenticity to proceedings if he thinks i've supplied a phone number.

Any to anyone who thinks I'm wasting me time - you're right but its better than watching eastenders

It won't be long before this tossers posing with a loaf on his head!
