Nothing happens without full disclosure.

Thanks
Francis
Mr Nbama
My question to you is; what happens if you don't get into Australia? The current government is basing much of its methods on the US Tea Party and it is playing the race and religion card bigtime.
Malcolm Reynolds

Attn Mr.Malcom,
Thanks for all your effort and your call to help me get this transaction done very soon. i will surely be in Australian but if i do not come before the money get to you then you will meet me in any of the Asia country and pick me up or you can send some one who can come for me so we come together to your country in Australia.
i have finished the delivering arrangement meeting with the agent diplomatic officer that will carry on the delivering operation to your country Australia.
Thanks
Francis
Mr Nbama
If you can't come in, you can't come in. Getting someone else to escort you won't make Immigration change their minds.
You stressed that agreement when we spoke but you seem to have forgotten it.
Malcolm Reynolds

Attn Mr.Malcom,
Do not worry how i will come in to your country Australia,i have USA visa in my passport i travel with my father before his death also have been to Europe my passport is not a virgin passport so i am welcome in any embassy i go to applied for a visa so no country refuse me visa that one is sure so do not worry about my visa let us proceed and arrange how to get these done since i am not in good condition here.

Thanks
Francis
Mr Nbama
It's "Mr Reynolds", thank you kindly... however, I must point out that not everywhere is as corrupt as you might think. You can't shove a wad at Immigration here and expect to get waved through.
Malcolm Reynolds

Attn Mr.Malcon,
I have explain to you the way you suppose to understand i am coming to your country legally with my visa am not coming through the wrong channel if you know the rules of obtaining visa in any country in the world then you will understand that coming to your country will not be problem,so lets forget about that one and face the main thing that bring us together and plan for the delivering.
i have concluded with the delivering office who will make the delivring to your address so i will like you to give me your address in your country with your direct mobile number for easy communications for a proper documentations about the delivering and i am coming along with the agent that will carry on the delivering operations.
Thanks
Francis

Mr Nbama
Royalty... give me a break! Royal blood is the biggest con humanity every played on itself (after religion). Did you really think I'd be impressed by that?
As it stands, I have no reason to believe your story, so unless you can back it up, it's adios from me.
Malcolm Reynolds
Francis rises to the challenge...
29 August 2014
Attn Sir,
Thanks for your mail,here is the box of the money and a prove of the fund in the box i have to day at the self keeping house this is the picture my late father took the box money before he deposited it and the hand of the white man there is the man who was my fathers friend that suppose to help me but it was unfortunate he die also in a plain crash last year i told you about him during our conversation on phone.
Thanks
Mr Nbama
A hand, a box, and some bundles of cash don't prove anything about you.
Malcolm Reynolds
It’s time to say goodbye.
If you're the spoiled pampered brat you sound like, you deserve to be fucked over by life and learn the hard way that the world doesn't revolve around you.
If you're the scheming little grifter you act like, you deserve to be fucked over by life because scum like that deserve nothing less.
And so it ended... except...

I CAN NOT REALLY UNDERSTAND YOU VERY CLEAR
So I call him to explain, and there's some unpleasantness, before the Lad makes a pitch for some "small money." Mal's reaction leads to anger.

I call back, and after some argument, the Lad resorts to a very poor piece of acting to play a hotel employee.
