Hello sir, I am a refugee from Sierra Leone. My name is Victor Musashi and my sister is called Faith Musashi. Presently we are in the refugee camp, due to the war then my parents were killed that is why we are living at the refugee camp now. My dad is dealing in gold and diamonds but before he died he deposited 42 million U.S. dollars in Ghana and gold and diamonds in the other box making it two of my dad boxes are in Ghana now, presently with the help of one General Mama Mensah the boxes are in France with the UN delivery Agent. Please I want you to stand as my present beneficiary to help me receive the box that is in France.
Hope to hear from you soon
I know you’re a good man I believe you will not run with my inheritance thanks in anticipation Sir_______

The boxes are in France? They've been in Holland, Germany, the UK, Turkey, the UK... it must be time for a change.
I usually ask how they got my email address, but a couple of times recently I've opted for something else, and I'll go with that now.
Mr Musashi
I'm not in France, so how could I help you with those boxes?

He's definitely eager to get things moving!
By the way... he didn't attach "passports" but rather, refugee IDs.

Okay Mr Malcolm Reynol.
Please may i know what country you are presently in?
and would it be convenient for you to fly down to France to meet with Diplomat and receive the Box?
or what is your option? Do you prefer the diplomat to deliver the consignment box to you in your country?
Below is a copy of myself and my sister's passport.

Not so fast there, Bubba-Louie!
Mr Musashi
Hey, slow down there sport! You're being too hasty, and you get nowhere in life if you're too hasty. For one thing, I have to ask; why are you so ready to trust me, given that you know nothing about me?

Am trusting you because I can feel it within me that you’re a trustworthy man
Hmmph! Time for some hard-earned wisdom and another question.
Mr Musashi
Well, that may be your way, but it ain't mine. I go by hard facts, not gut feelings. Going by your inner feelings is too often what gets you cheated, just saying.
Something you need to clear up first; you mentioned two boxes, and "he deposited 42 million U.S. dollars in Ghana and gold and diamonds in the other box making it two of my dad boxes are in Ghana now, presently with the help of one General Mama Danko the boxes are in France with the UN delivery Agent. Please I want you to stand as my present beneficiary to help me receive the box that is in France" - first you said two boxes are in Ghana, then that the boxes are in France, and finally that there's a box in France. Just tell me; where are the boxes?

Greetings sir, please sir i would like to know where you're from?
How are you doing today?
Yes sir, two of the boxes are in Ghana, while the other two boxes in France are currently in the airport for safe keeping with the diplomat.

So it's four boxes in two places. It would have been good to make things clear from the start, you know!
Since you ask, I'm an American citizen, born in Charleston, South Carolina. Does that make a difference?

Thank you for your response.
If you can talk to the delivery agent by tomorrow they can bring to box over to you in South Carolina, no not at all it doesn’t make any difference, I believe I can still count on you, I love Americans a lot majority of them are trustworthy always keep to their word

Damn... I was hoping that shipping would come up later, when I'd spring Mal's current residence on him. Never mind.
I said I was born in Charleston. I haven't lived there since 1985. At this time I'm living in Australia. Does that make a difference?
And before you start saying how Americans are trustworthy and always keep their word, just consider a few names; Donald Trump, Ron De Santis, Mary Taylor Green, Jim Jordan, Lauren Boebert, Paul Gosar, Matt Gaetz, Josh Hawley, Kevin McCarthy... and those are just politicians among those I would trust as far as I could throw an Abrams.

How do you want to receive the package, do you want the diplomat agent to bring the two boxes to meet you in Australia 🇦🇺?
Mr Musashi
Let's step back and make a reality check.
In your first email you wrote, "Please I want you to stand as my present beneficiary to help me receive the box that is in France". Box, singular. But let's move on.
"would it be convenient for you to fly down to France to meet with Diplomat and receive the Box? or what is your option? Do you prefer the diplomat to deliver the consignment box to you in your country?" And "How do you want to receive the package, do you want the diplomat agent to bring the two boxes to meet you in Australia?"
I thought you wanted help to receive the box. But now you want to send the boxes to me. How is that helping you?

Since you said you are willing to help us, as you have told me you’re not in anywhere around Europe. So is either you fly down to France to receive the boxes or the diplomat will have to deliver it to anywhere you are in Australia.
If you don’t mind I would like to have your phone number and I will as well give you the diplomat delivery agent number as well,
diplomat phone number: REDACTED

Who's in control here, Bubba-Louie? News flash; it ain't you!
Mr Musashi
Stop focussing on the delivery! I have more important concerns. Namely, what is the point of sending me the boxes, since you need my help to receive the boxes?

I understand you Sir, we would like to know how you intend to help us?
Mr Musashi
No, you're not paying attention. I asked a simple question. I'll ask the question again.
You said, "Please I want you to stand as my present beneficiary to help me receive the box that is in France" - if I'm helping you receive the boxes in France, why are they being sent to me?

Good day sir, the boxes are in France, I thought you where in Europe but after telling me you are in Australia I decided for the package coming to meet you in Australia, or if you insist to fly down to France to help me receive the boxes, and if you can fly down to France it will also be nice but is for you to decides if you want it to be delivered to you in Australia or you prefer flying over to France to receive the boxes I awaits your urgent response
Victor
YOU ARE NOT UNDERSTANDING ME!
Let's assume, for the sake of argument, that I receive the boxes somehow.
What happens then?

Oh now I understand all you have been saying, regarding uses of the money, the General Mama Mensah we made a promise to him that we are going to give him %20 of the total money, while yours will be %20 i and my sister will come to Australia to continue our education, and you’re going to help us to invest the money in a profitable business. So that we can get a better life. As for the gold and diamonds you will for a good buyers to buy the gold and diamond when we are with you there in Australia.
Time for a mangled proverb and some bad news (sorta).
Mr Musashi
That wasn't exactly the answer I wanted, but there's no point flogging an empty vessel, I guess.
There's something I need to make clear; I don't do investment. I'm a retired US Marine. My Marine MOS was combat and survival, not finance. And trying to sell gold in Australia would be less that profitable; gold is mined here.

I understand all you have said, what is there sir about the I would suggest we can invest it into real estate there in Australia, and for the gold we can look for a buyer from the United States 🇺🇸. All I want to know from you now are you willing to help us?
Mr Musashi
Ask not how I can help you, ask rather what I need to do to help you.

What you have to do now is for you to contact the delivery agent in France with this number, because I already told him that you’re my present beneficiary, below is his mobile number and email address

At this point I made a mistake and sent this to the (as yet unnamed) diplomat instead. Realising that, I sent it to the orphan as well.

Next up; the diplomat enters the game... and nearly ends it!
