Hello Bob,
Sorry for what happened to you, hope you didn’t get injured. Tell
your bank to send the money through Western Union. Money
transfer to:
Name:
Country:
State/City:
Branch:
This is my very good friend name and address that is working in the
bank. You will have to set a secret Question and Answer and be sure
to send me the answer.
As for the lions you can call them any name provided you shout
when talking to them and always use the same name. And trained
leopards like the one I have for you will wear any clothes you buy for
them OK. Please send the money today,
Jack

Subject: Nearly back to 100%
Hello my good friend,
Thanks so much for your kind words. I have nearly fully recovered
from the fall and have just been chilling out ever since. I’ve still got
a large bandage on my head however, and am too embarrassed to
leave the house as then I’d have to tell people how I got the injury.
The boys would love this one. If Tommy Peanuts or Chappy Williams
got hold of it I’d not be able to show my face for weeks.
I should be OK tomorrow and will nip up to the bank then. Just a
quick question about the leopard, does it look a bit like this?
Good luck my friend,
Bob

YOU CAN TO RECOVER SO YOU CAN BE ABLE TO GO TO THE
BANK. I WILL BE EXPECTING YOUR REPLY SOONEST.

Subject: What a Let Down
Jack,
I have some bad news my friend. I have just been to the bank and
the guy there said that I cannot send you any money as I do not
have any in my account. In actual fact, it turns out that I owe them
over eight grand. I tried to explain that I needed to send you this
money for the lions and the leopard but the guy said I was a fucking
lunatic and got the security man to throw me out.
I’m really sorry Jack, I hope I haven’t wasted your time in any
way, I can’t see how I could have, but I’m afraid that the deal is off.
Good luck my friend, and good luck with the animals. If they get too
much then you’d probably be OK just releasing them?
Love,
Bob

Subject: Urgent
Hello Bob,
You see do you really still need lions and leopard? I will help you out
sending it for you free but what you only have to do is to send just
$700 or $500 for shipping it to Scotland.
If you can go to another bank to send that money to me just take the money from home and tell them you want to send that
money through Western Union money transfer to that name i gave
to you earlier on. It is easy. Do it today.

Hi Jack,
I will pass on the bad news to Frank on the hedgehog front. I’m not
sure about a lion that only talks a little, I’d like one that isn’t so shy
if possible?

Bob: This is urgent. What is hapening?? I don’t sell animals. I only
said I could get some lions to help you. Then you say you need a
leopard and I say ok. Now you are saying the lion has to talk? What
is this madness? Send me the £1700 that we agreed imeediately.

Jack,
Things are coming along nicely. I just need to know, for Frank’s
benefit more than anything –
What are the names of the lions? (he needs to know what to call
them when they are introduced)
What does the lion say when it talks? (Again, who wants a lion that’ll
get them into scraps?)
The bank is preparing me some forms,
Bob

From: Jack Thompson
To: Bob Servant
Subject: HERE IS THE INFORMATION
Hello Bob,
We have really wasted much time. Anyway, the information you
asked for
1.   The lion with more hair is Captain
2.   The lion with black hair is Zoro
The other two do not have names you can give them names
yourself. And as for the lion that talks it’s ways of talking are
strange. It does not pronounce words well it only makes sounds.
Hope you understand now. Bob the security company has given me
a day’s grace. This is very serious, I don’t think you realise what we
are about to lose. Let me know when you will send the money and I
will give you the info for Western Union.

Hello Jack,
Sorry about the delay. I was round at Frank’s earlier and got stuck
up a tree whilst chasing a snake, then fell off and banged my head
on a chicken. You know what it’s like. Listen Jack, the bank needs to
know which account and country the money would be going to?I had
extended discussions with Frank at Doc Ferry’s bar this evening and
he is absolutely delighted with the way things are going. He wants
to know a last couple of things –
Can he call the other lions ‘FANCY PANTS’, and ‘BRYAN’?
Do the leopards sing, and are they willing to wear clothes?
All the best babes,
Bob

Subject: LION PICTURE
Jack,
Greetings my dear, dear friend. Jacky, there seems to have been
another misunderstanding. I looked at the website that is listed on
the photo of the lion you sent and it belongs a Boston-based author
and nature lover.
“I’m Tony Northrup. I live with my wife and cat in Woburn,
Massachusetts, which is about 8 miles North-West of Boston”, he
states quite clearly on his site.
Now Jack, I’m not sure if I can see the connection between yourself and Tony. Perhaps you sent the wrong photo?
Bob

From: Jack Thompson
To: Bob Servant
Subject: YOU MISUNDERSTAND
Hello Bob,
You are getting this all wrong Bob. I didn’t say that was the exact
lion, I only gave you a clue on how the lion I will send looks like. If
you want to see the exact lion I will send you must give me time to
take it and scan it.
So Bob my friend you don’t need to worry over this. This is Africa
and you well know these animals are sufficient here. My brother
even rears a cub that’s a baby lioness in his house, so Bob expect
the lion’s photograph later today. You haven’t said anything about
the money I asked for? Have you spoken to your bank? I don’t think
£1,700 should take long to send?

Thanks,
Jack

Subject: OK, I get it.

Hi Jack,
Thanks so much for putting my mind at rest and letting me know
what a lion looks like. I have seen them in the past, in books and
suchlike, so already had a fair idea but you have really helped me
out there. For example, I had it in my head for some stupid reason
that lions wore spectacles.
I look forward to seeing the photo of the actual lions. I just
popped my head over the garden wall and had a word with Frank. He
was busy cleaning out his Flamengo cage but he did say that he is
very, very excited about getting hold of these lions. He has asked
me to pass on a few questions –
Are they male or female?
Are they in good physical decision?
Do they talk?
Thank you my friend, and don’t worry, I have booked in to see the bank manager tomorrow morning,
Bob

From: Jack Thompson
To: Bob Servant
Subject: URGENT
Hello Bob,
Hope fine.
Answer to the questions.
1.   The lions are all male lions and are very healthy.
2.   I don’t think I have ever seen a lion that talks.
I don’t know if you are also interested in leopards cause my friend
works in the Government Zoo and he could find a leopard for you?
Remember to speak to your bank tomorrow.
Thanks,
Jack

Subject: Leopards
I have spoken to Frank. He will take two leopards as long as they are
friendly, and one elephant if you can get it? Frank is sure that he
saw a talking lion on the television once. He thinks it was either on
Songs of Praise or Bullseye. He says it reminded him of Jim McLean,
the old Dundee United manager. Are you sure you can’t get one?
I am going to the bank in two hours,
Bob

From: Jack Thompson
To: Bob Servant
Subject: URGENT
Hello Bob,

Hope fine. I can get you two leopards. They are both not adults. I will
try and see if the elephant will be possible and will see what I can do
for the lion. When you are back from bank mail me and tell me when
you are sending the money.

Thanks,
Jack.

Subject: The Full List
Jack,
How are you my friend? Frank just called, he will take the following –
4 lions, 2 leopards, 1 elephant, 1 alligator, 2 parrots, 1 hedgehog.
I said you might be able to get the two leopards and the elephant.
How are you looking for the rest? And, of course, the talking lion?
Frank has a good few quid. He’s worked for me on various bits and
bobs and I’ve always looked after him so I think we should put our
necks out on this one and make sure the lions talks.
Bob

Hello Bob.
From your mail I will only be able to get

4 lions
2 leopards
1 Alligator
The hedgehog, parrots and elephant will take me some time to find
but I think I will first send the four lions and two leopards to you
before we proceed with the rest. Bob please send the £1,700 now so
I can send the 4 lions and 2 leopards to you. I think one of the lions
may talk a little.
Thanks,

Jack.

Subject: You have got to be kidding?
Jack,
Sorry about the delay, I was out getting my hair done. There
appears to have been a slight misunderstanding my friend, I was
expecting four live lions, not gold ones. If I stuck four lion statues in
Frank’s zoo then he would think I’d lost the fucking plot and would
tell everyone that I’d gone mental again like when I first got the
cheeseburger van money through and wore that dinosaur poncho
for four months. The four photos you sent look great, if a little
similar, but I’m afraid that you seem to have got the wrong end of
the stick.

Look Bob, I went to that security company yesterday i was told
to get $4000 to process the document for retrieval of the boxes
that contains the money. I have raised $2000 so i need you to assist
me in the rest of the money. Immediately  you send the remaining
$2000 I will go to the security company so they can release the
funds and I will purchase the lions immediately. I will pay you back
the money with percentages.
This is urgent, reply immediately.

Hello Bob,
Bob $2000 is £1700. Pls try to send it so I can collect the fund from
the security company and as well send the lions to you. These is the
lion’s picture below. I have made arrangement of transporting it to
you. I am buying four male lions from my friends private zoo and he
has also arranged for shipment to Scotland.

precise reflection of the day’s exchange rates.

I will prefer you send the money through Western Union transfer,
so I can collect the fund and start shipping the lions.
