The Anchorite - New


In which Gilbert Murray, a modern-day anchorite with serious digestive issues at Saint Bodkin's church, Gypping in the Marsh, is contacted by a banker from Burkina Faso who is looking for someone to share millions of dollars that belonged to a deceased client. With Gilbert walled up inside his anchorhold, repeatedly dreaming of toilets and soiling his hairshirt, will his helper, Beaker, be able to provide the banker with the assistance he is seeking?

Dear Mr Mohamed,

I have just received the email that you sent me last Friday.

I think you may have sent it to the wrong person: I know nothing about banking.

May I suggest that you check the email address you used to send the email? I wonder whether you may have mis-typed it.

Incidentally, I am very sorry to hear about the death of your client, together with his whole family. I shall pray for them.

Dear Mr Gilbert Murray,

Thanks for your swift response to this profitable deal at hand. No, I didn't sent it to wrong person but to you directly.

I want you to understand that it is not a matter of knowing something about banking, it is about bringing you in to stand as the next of kin to our late customer, so that the bank can release and transfer this money into your account in your home town.

Understand that without a foreign person applying for this money the bank will not release the money out of this bank, because the deceased customer as a foreign person and have no next of kin before his sudden death.

That make everything easy and possible for you and I to claim this money together into your account for mutual respect and sharing according to the percentage set above in my previous message.

Please before we move forward, I want you to send me some of your details, like your direct telephone number for easy communication if truly you are interested to be part of this huge success.

Your age, your profession, to see whether you are mature enough to receive this money into your account without any mistake or error.

As soon as I hear from you, I will send you an official application letter which you are going to use to apply to the paying bank to enable the bank recognise you as the next of kin and commence this process.

You have nothing to worry about at all, because I am here to provide you with all the information relating to our deceased customer so that there won't be mistake along the line during dealing with the paying bank.

For the time being, below are some of my personal informations.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

I feel compelled to ask you: what made you choose me to be a prospective partner in this venture that you are proposing, and how did you come across my details? I have always been a very private individual - I tended to keep myself to myself even before my recent change in circumstances - and I find it hard to understand how a banker from Africa would come across my details and decide to sound me out as a potential business partner.

I have to admit that the prospect of being able to claim this money is an attractive one. Saint Bodkin's church is in dire need of repairs to its fabric, and I know for a fact that the vicar is struggling to meet the costs of its maintenance.

But I am concerned that what you are proposing may not be entirely legal. I cannot claim to be an expert in the law - and certainly not in the law as it pertains to Burkina Faso banking practices - but it seems to me that your proposal may be skirting extremely closely around what would be deemed allowable in a court of law. Would it be possible for you to allay my fears in this respect?

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Dear Mr Gilbert,

Thank you once again for your response to this great deal at hand. But kindly allow the grace of God upon our lives' work and come to conclusion in a successful manner to the glory of God almighty through retrieve of this money to your account for both benefit.

Yes, I understand that you may not have thought that something like this will ever comes to you even in the dream, however things like this do happen as everything work together for good for them that love God.

Your email is not operated in heavenly places; you do operate it here on earth, so your email can be found by anybody who God has direct to execute a life changing business with you. Therefore, stop doubting and let face reality okay.

In a banking rules and regulations, or better said in a banking law, a next of kin is allow to claim fund that belongs to a death person who has no original next of kin before his or her death. It only me who knows that he has no next of kin this is why I am using my good office to bring you in.

It is never a sin or crime to claim fund that belongs to a deceased customer if the rightful information and procedures are respected and provided before any financial institution where the fund are kept.

Listen to me my good friend, it is not a matter of involving in a legal transaction no, it is a matter of been truthful to me when the money finally transferred into your personal bank account in your home town for both benefit that is what REALLY matter most now. Everything is legal and real you will see it when we finally commence dealing with the paying bank.

This is because everything is genuine and real as I will not involve myself in any deal that will bring shame and disgrace to my family. I have been serving this bank for so many years, now is the time to hit big money if only you can allow you and I to execute this deal.

In our bank law if a customer died and he or she has no next of kin or all his suppose next of kin died along with him, anybody who apply first for the money is automatically see as the next of kin and the bank have no right to deny the person the status of beneficiary is that clear.

This is why God choose you to assist me stand before this bank and apply for the money.

If it is possible for me to claim this money without involving anybody I would be glad to do so, but without a foreign person stand as next of kin the bank would never release the money.

It may interest you to know that 5% will be set aside to run all the expenses both here and in your country, while 35% is for you as my prospective partner, then the remaining 60% is for me and my family and immediately the money is transferred into your account I will simply resign from the bank and come to your country for the investment execution.

This business is entirely legal because someone must claim another man or dead person abandoned money is that clear.

I await to hear from you as soon as you can.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Thank you for your detailed response. I must say, you seem to know what you are talking about as far as this matter is concerned. You have certainly put my mind at rest, and I now feel comfortable to proceed in this matter.

I do hope that you can appreciate the reasons for my initial unease. As I stated previously, my knowledge of banking laws and customs is seriously limited. What is more, I am a trusted individual in the village and, given my position, it would be extremely inadvisable for me to involve myself in any matter that could have a deleterious effect on my reputation.

I would appreciate it if you could get back to me with details of what we need to do to move forward with this matter.

I very much look forward to working with you. You and your family will be in my prayers tonight.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

PS. You made reference to God on a number of occasions in your email. It comforts me to know that I am dealing with a man of faith: my own faith is of prime importance to me. Could you perhaps enlighten me about which faith it is that you follow? Christianity? Church of Zeal or no Zeal? Islam? Judaism?

Dear Mr Gilbert,

Thanks for the response my good partner. I must say that God doesn't make mistake and ever since I know God I have never regret anything in my life and the only thing I have regretted it is when I lost my both parents to terrorist attacked in the northern part of Burkina Faso 10 years ago.

My parents were retired military officers they were killed by terrorist, so I came from a disciplined home and that would not allow me to do anyhow or misbehave no matter what life brings at me.

My family name is very important I must uphold it even though the world of today doesn't appreciate or reward good people. Yes, I want to do business with people like you who have respect for reputation and who say yes when it is yes.

I don't have much to say because no exaggeration in what we are about to enter together which will eventually change our financial lives altogether. Please see me as your brother because one good turn deserves another. You help me I help you that is how life supposes to be. I cannot claim this money without foreign person involved.

Remember I told you that your SHARE is 35% for helping stand before the bank as the real next of kin and providing foreign account to receive the $15 million.

Please understand that we will withdraw 5% out from your account immediately the whole fund ($15 million) is transfer into your account to settle any direct or indirect expenses we may both incur during this transaction before success is achieve.

The remaining 60% will be for me and my family and I will personally come and meet you in your country for proper sharing and investment execution before bringing in my family.

I am repeating it again because I do not want sharing or percentage to cause unwanted problem for us after the bank has transferred the money into your personal bank account is that clear sir.

You know that money has power.

I was born into a Muslim family but I later convert to Christianity. I am a man of faith. I see everything possible for those that believe. I have never involved any deal that will bring shame to my family reputation never, not of once.

This DEAL is clear and simple, we follow the banking rules in claiming inheritance fund to foreign bank account we get the money easily into your account without anybody suspecting us okay.

This is a clear, clean deal, in banking rules Next of Kin role is recognize and no bank that can deny anybody who genuinely apply for an inheritance fund. So relax and follow my advice so we can succeed without hindrance.

Subject: A serious concern

Sent: Fri, 09 Jan 2026 09:07

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Firstly, I am extremely sorry to hear about the unfortunate death of your parents. That must have had a devastating effect on you, at such a young age. I hope that your faith - or, to be more accurate, your faiths - have helped to sustain you following such a dreadful loss.

I note that you converted from Islam to Christianity. I too converted from one religion to another, some twenty years ago or so. In my case, I - along with most of the rest of the village - converted from the Church of England to the Church of Zeal or no Zeal, taking the lead from our vicar, who had had a major disagreement with the bishop over the design of some hassocks. I find my faith to be an immense comfort to me. It is by far the most important thing in my life. I trust that you feel the same way about your own faith.

Now, I have a concern, Mr Mohamed. Having read through the email that you are proposing I send to the bank, I cannot help but notice that this deceased person is Korean - very obviously Korean, having lived in Korea, with a very Korean-sounding name.

How on Noel's green earth will I be able to pass myself off as this man's next of kin, when I am an Englishman, with an English name, who has lived in England all my life and who has never visited Korea? Surely the bank officials will not believe that I am this man's next of kin? Have you not foreseen this problem, Mr Mohamed?

On top of this, I have realised that in order to proceed with this venture, I shall have to lie to the bank officials. I shall have to tell untruths. And so will you, Mr Mohamed. Have you not realised this?

Lying is expressly forbidden in the Book of Noel and - if I remember rightly - it is seriously frowned upon in the Christian religion too. Is not the ninth of your ten commandments "Thou shalt not bear false witness"? And if memory serves, I am sure that there was something about coveting in there too.

Does this not concern you, Mr Mohamed? Although I am planning to donate my share of the proceeds of this business venture to the church, I am afraid that the untruths that we will be forced to tell may place our eternal souls in peril. What are your thoughts on this, Mr Mohamed? Is there any way we can conduct ourselves in this enterprise that will not involve the telling of untruths?

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you my good brother, and thank you for feeling my pains too.

Yes it's affected me seriously in the sense that the time my parents suppose to have been enjoying me they are no more alive to ripe the fruits of their labored. That was why I said I regretted it so much in all my life.

I have been living with my faith ever since such dastardly act happened to me when I suddenly lost my beautiful caring parents who trained me at school to the cold hand of stupid terrorist.

I sustain the pains because I hand over everything to God, God gives and takes too. Very dreadful loss my good partner.

Now, back to business, is like we are acting in the same direction so to say, I converted from Islam to Christianity. You converted too to another religion that makes it very unique in this our businessman ship relationship.

Now, let me clarify you very well so you won't feel bad executing this God gives opportunity to us.

In banking law, a Next of Kin can come from anywhere in the world in as much as what he or she is claiming is genuine and accurate.

They have no single right to question why you come from England and the original deceased owner of the fund came from South Korea. Absolutely no. The bank has no right and the law of every bank doesn't provide such RULES to deny any Next of Kin from coming from different countries. Is that clear sir.

To buttress this to your better understanding the bank had never question anybody for using different names to claim it rightful next of kin or standing before the bank to claim fund as next of kin? What really matter are the accurate information provided and the ability to understand that life is full of business and any business or opportunity that comes to our way is an act of grace of God upon our lives.

You are not bearing false witness, am inviting you to help me stand before the bank as next of kin so that this money can be release and transfer into your account after proper executing with the paying bank that is all.

I understood your point, but Bible tells you and I that all have sinned and cut short of the glory of God.

We are living by the grace of God my good friend, I am a true believer of our Lord and savior Jesus and it is that same Jesus who have kept me alive all this while even when the storm was about to swallow me.

Having involve you and knowing what we are about to execute together, I cannot bring in another person again it is totally against the rules of the bank claiming inheritance fund because two person cannot put claim to one fund. You are not telling lies in anyway, you are just acting to my advice how everything will be possible and easy for us to claim this money, that's all.

I didn't want to reveal this to you until we finally get the money into your account. I will donate 10% of my share from my 60% to any church you will recommend for me as tithes, then donate another 10% to any charity organization, homeless motherless children in England but all this will not happen if we do not pull out this fund from this bank here to your bank account in England.

Please sir, think well and act swiftly because a bird at hand worth more than millions in the bush. I cannot afford to lose this money because the business is clear as an insider everything will be easy for us if only we follow the bank procedures in claiming an inheritance fund.

Thank you once again for your time and support I really need you most to help me perfect this deal sir.

Mr Sule Mohamed

Dear Mr Mohamed,

In your email, you state that "In banking law, a Next of Kin can come from anywhere in the world in as much as what he or she is claiming is genuine and accurate".

But what we will be claiming will not be genuine and accurate. On the contrary, what we will be claiming will be bogus and inaccurate. We shall be lying to the bank! We shall be deceiving them!

You may be willing to place your eternal soul in peril, Mr Mohamed, but I am not sure that I am willing to do so. I have devoted my entire life to my religion - my faith is everything to me - and to risk my chance of eternal happiness in this way - despite your generous offer to donate a percentage of your portion of the money to a good cause - is a very hard thing for me to agree to. Can the end justify the means? If not, then an eternity in Hell lies before us, Mr Mohamed. An eternity, I say. And that is quite a long time.

A bird in the hand may well be worth more than millions in the bush, as you say. But the question is, is it wise for me to grasp hold of this particular bird?

I shall pray on this matter over the weekend, Mr Mohamed, and make a decision on Monday as to whether I feel able to move forward with this business.

I shall also ask Mr Beaker for his opinion when he visits me tomorrow to bring me my daily food and drink and to remove my waste from the anchorhold. I shall also consult with the vicar when I see him on Sunday. He will be in a good position to advise me spiritually regarding whether or not I should proceed.

I would advise you to pray on this matter too, Mr Mohamed: it is not only my eternal soul that may be in peril, but yours too.

Let us see what Monday brings.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you my good brother of the same faith with me. But you have never told me your age so that I will know the exact respect to accord you.

In reality, I don't know why you continually emphasize by saying we will be telling lies to the bank to claim this money. What it is is what it is an inheritance fund that needs a foreign assistance before it can be release in accordance with the banking law.

Yes everything is by prayer am a man of faith but my faith has never told me to be poor when there are clear chances to become very rich.

Having said that I wait for your final decision because what is right is worth doing and this business cannot be terminated because of the faith we both believed in.

Understand that no churches survive without finance and no Priest or Bishop serve correctly without finance either.

America is terrorizing and dominating the whole world today because of their riches and wealth.

My God has never told me to become poor because I am serving him no.

I cannot tell you lies and no other way I can pant this transaction apart from an inheritance claim that need the services of Next of Kin before the paying bank can release and transfer the money, and that is what I have been telling you from the beginning till now my good friend.

The ball is your court I pray that the people you mentioned to discuss this business with are MEN who see things in different dimension, both spiritually and financial benefit of human race.

Thank you and happy weekend Sir.

Subject: God is with us. Let us proceed

Sent: Mon, 12 Jan 2026 12:21

Dear Mr Mohamed,

I trust that you had a pleasant weekend.

I asked Mr Beaker for his opinion on whether or not I should proceed with this business when he came to bring me my daily sustenance and remove my waste from the anchorhold on Saturday. Mr Beaker - who I think is a good, decent man, if perhaps not the brightest of fellows - gave a positive response, expressing the opinion that I would "be a fool not to go for it".

I then consulted with Reverend Murray (no relation) through the squint, following Sunday morning's second service. I know Reverend Murray to be a God-fearing man, and I wholly trust his judgement. At first, Reverend Murray expressed doubts about the whole affair, especially when I explained that I would have to lie to the bank officials. As I expected, he was seriously concerned for my soul.

However, when I mentioned the amount of money involved and explained that I was planning to donate the proceeds to the church, Reverend Murray quickly changed his opinion. He explained that although the congregation of Saint Bodkin's pays a large amount in the way of tithes, the vast majority of this money is sent directly to the church's headquarters in New Zealand, leaving very little money for the upkeep and maintenance of the church building.

Reverend Murray reeled off a long list of maintenance jobs that need to be done on the church. The roof is leaking, the tower is crumbling, the nave floor needs repaving, the chancel is subsiding... the list went on and on. Reverend Murray thinks that this money would be enough to pay for all of the repairs that are required to the fabric of the church, while leaving enough aside to invest, to ensure that future needs could be met.

However, Reverend Murray said that he is deeply concerned for the good of my soul, given the lies I will have to tell. Having consulted the Book of Noel for guidance, he suggested that to help ameliorate the damage, I perform a penance of saying ten Hail Lydias whilst scourging my back with a knout, every day, from now until this business is concluded. This seems to be good advice, and for the good of your soul, Mr Mohamed, I would suggest that you do the same.

Having spent the weekend praying on this troublesome matter, I am pleased to be able to report that I have also received divine guidance. Last night I dreamed that I was wandering around a strange town, desperate to use the toilet. But every toilet I came across was so foully besmirched with human excrement that I could not bear to use it. I went from one toilet to another, becoming more and more desperate to evacuate my bowels, but finding each toilet to be more filthy than the last. But then the Great Prophet Noel appeared to me in my dream. Taking me by the hand, He led me to a large, grand bank in the centre of the town. He pushed open the door of the bank and ushered me inside, then showed me to a door marked "WC". He gestured me to open it. I opened the door, and inside was the most splendid, magnificent toilet I have ever seen in my life. It was made of solid gold, encrusted with countless precious jewels that glistened in the light. I sat on the toilet and was finally, with great relief, able to evacuate my bowels.

I then awoke, and found to my dismay that I had actually evacuated my bowels in my sleep, and got it all over my hairshirt and robes. Mr Beaker was most displeased this morning when I passed him my soiled garments through the narrow window to be cleaned. Especially when he put his hand in it without realising and then rubbed his eye. He was not a happy man.

But no matter. The point is that by coming to me in this dream, the Great Prophet Noel has indicated that I should move forward with this business. The bank, the golden toilet, the successful outcome... it all makes perfect sense. God may well move in mysterious ways - as do my bowels at times - but He has given us a sign, Mr Mohamed. God is with us.

So, Mr Mohamed, with God's divine grace and approval, let us move forward with all good speed, as partners.

What is our next step?

Warmest regards,

Hallelujah, God cannot make mistake my good partner. Without talking so much kindly fill the application letter I sent to you with your receiving bank account details and use it to apply to the paying bank through the official email address of the bank in the application letter is that clear sir.

That is the only way you and I can put claim to this huge amount of money $15 million dollars.

Immediately you apply to the bank and the bank start responding to you kindly update me to advice in any possible way to avoid any costly mistake along the line because any mistake make as a result of dealings with the bank will lead to suspicions.

I will wait to hear from you that you have applied to the bank.

Thanks once again for this great support of life time changing opportunity in our both families.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Rest assured, my dear fellow. I sent the application to the bank this morning. No doubt Dr Sawam is beavering away as we speak, making arrangements for the money to be transferred across to me.

Do you know Dr Sawam well? Is he a capable chap? Is he a man that gets things done in a timely manner, or he a lackadaisical kind of fellow who is liable to spend his time idly spinning around on his office chair whilst fiddling with his paperclips and daydreaming about the contents of his secretary's undergarments? I would hate to think of him putting my application at the bottom of a large pile of papers and then forgetting about it.

Perhaps you could pop your head around his door and find some way of innocently enquiring whether he has received my application?

Given that I had to tell a number of untruths in making the application to Dr Sawam, I took Reverend Murray's advice: immediately after sending the email, I said ten Hail Lydias, and after intoning each one, I whipped my bare back with my knout. I cannot say that the ten lashes were not painful, but the security of one's eternal soul is of far more importance than the avoidance of temporary physical discomfort. I am sure you would agree, Mr Mohamed.

Be in no doubt, Mr Mohamed: I shall let you know as soon as I hear back from Dr Sawam.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Thanks for the message sir. I am well pleased that you said you have sent the application to the bank. Thank you for that our great success has just begun now.

Yes, Dr Sawam is an honorable man a man who does things sincerely and clearly without bias.

Yes Dr Sawam is beavering away in the sense that so many files and documents of customers, so he must be sure first before responding to you that is what I think the office of the Director are doing now. Rest assured that we have succeeded sir.

There is nobody that can deny this transfer now hence you said you have applied to the bank as we both agreed.

Please kindly wait for the bank response because they will surely respond to you as the first and the only person putting claim to this fund. That is the beauty of everything concerning this huge money coming to your soonest.

No I don't want the bank to know that I am involved or am the one who brought you in to claim this money, which is why I am not going to ask any question from the bank officials about your application.

You know that if the bank knows I brought you in or I have any relationship with you they will suspect me and automatically land me into big trouble. So it is only you and me who know what we are doing.

Don't let the bank know you know me at all until the money is finally transferred into your account, and once you tell me you have confirm the money in your account I will resign from the bank and come to your country for the sharing and investment execution is that clear sir. This is deal in between us.

But I will play a big role in giving you advice when necessary to avoid any costly mistake along the line.

Evidently we have succeeded since you have sent the application to the bank as you rightly said. I will be waiting to hear from you when the bank start communicating with you sir.

God bless our both families all is well in Jesus mighty name amen.

Subject: Still no word from the bank

Sent: Wed, 14 Jan 2026 16:33

Dear Mr Mohamed,

I have been checking my email inbox all day - well, as often as I have been able to, given the poor wi-fi signal here in the anchorhold. The church's router is located in the vestry, you see, on the other side of the church, and the signal struggles to pass through the thick stone walls. But another day has passed, and I have still had no word from Dr Sawam. In fact the only email I have received all day has been from Pederast Monthly magazine, asking whether I wish to renew my subscription.

As you know, I have harboured doubts about the wisdom of taking part in this business right from the start. And given the lack of response to my application from Dr Sawam, I am concerned. Deeply concerned.

Do you think Dr Sawam has realised that I have been untruthful in my application? Do you think he has done due diligence and discovered that I am not your deceased client's next of kin? Do you think he realises that I am trying to claim this money under false pretences? Do you think he has contacted the authorities and informed them of my attempted deception? Do you think he has guessed that you are involved in this fraudulent affair?

And what if he has done so? I have no idea how long is the arm of the law in Burkina Faso. Might it be long enough to reach all the way over to here in Lincolnshire, where it might pluck me out from the safety of my anchorhold and deposit me firmly in some dusty, fly-blown jail in the middle of the Sahel?

Perhaps if you were to go and see Dr Sawam and explain things to him, he may understand. Perhaps if you were to beg for his forgiveness, he may be be mollified. Perhaps if you were to throw yourself on his mercy, he may decline to press charges against the two of us. Go and see him now, Mr Mohamed. Please.

I have been so worried about the lack of response from the bank that I accidentally soiled my hairshirt and robes again today. The odour and discomfort are most displeasing. What is more, I shall have to wait until Mr Beaker's visit tomorrow morning before I can change my clothes: he has not yet returned the soiled garments that I gave him the other day to launder.

After I have sent you this email, I shall be saying twenty Hail Lydias, not ten, with each one accompanied by a lash from the knout, in an attempt to atone for my sins. I suggest you do the same, Mr Mohamed.

What should we do, Mr Mohamed? What do you suggest? I am beginning to wish that you had never involved me in this deceitful business.

Yours worriedly,

Gilbert Murray

Why are you saying the bank has not reached you? Please check your email very well because there are times when you sent me message it will enter spam folder.

Check your spam folder maybe the bank message enters there unknowing to you.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Thank you so much for your help, my friend. You were right: the email from the bank had found its way into my 'Spam' folder rather than into my Inbox.

I must apologise for not having found it without needing your help; I am not the most technical of people.

Having read the email, which came from a Dr Iddris Kambore - another colleague of yours, I presume? - I am afraid that we have hit a snag, Mr Mohamed. You see, Dr Kambore is requesting that I send him a domestic bill and a copy of my passport, as proof of my identity.

The problem is, Mr Mohamed, I have neither of these things. Living as I do in the anchorhold, I have no domestic bills. My laptop is the only item I own that uses electricity, and that is powered using the church's electricity, which Reverend Murray is kind enough not to charge me for; and there is no gas or water supply to the anchorhold. As for a passport, I have not travelled abroad since being overcharged in a restaurant in Benidorm back in 1987, so I have not had a passport for decades. One would be of no use whatsoever to me now anyway, in my current situation.

What do you suggest we do, Mr Mohamed? Do you think if I were to ask Reverend Murray for a character reference, that would be enough to satisfy the bank?

I really did not anticipate another worry to come along quite so quickly, Mr Mohamed. Worrying is not good for me. I can feel my bowels trembling already, and I only changed into a fresh hairshirt an hour ago.

Please advise, my dear friend. What shall we do?

Yours concernedly,

Gilbert Murray

Please supply to the bank what they required of you so that the money can be approve and transfer into your account before this month ends.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Thank you for your advice and assistance. Again, I apologise for my lack of technical knowledge. I would ask you to bear with me. However, I feel confident that if we work together on this matter, as we have been doing successfully so far, we will be able to surmount any obstacle that the Devil may place in our way.

Now, I shall take your advice, and respond to Dr Kambore. I will let you know as soon as we have made some progress.

You may be interested to know that I had another vision of the Great Prophet Noel last night as I slept. In my dream, I was back at school, and I was desperate to use the toilet. I went from one toilet to another, but all of the toilets were situated right in the middle of the classrooms, in full view of the schoolchildren, so I was unable to use them. I went from toilet to toilet, growing ever more desperate to evacuate my bowels. And then, the Great Prophet Noel appeared. As had happened in my last dream, he led me to a door, which he pushed open. Inside the room - which was entirely private - was a perfectly clean lavatory. But instead of a roll of toilet paper, there was a pile of paper next to the toilet, each sheet being printed with a copy of the letter that Dr Kambore sent me. I closed the door, sat on the toilet, and - to my intense relief - was able to fully evacuate my bowels. I then wiped myself clean with a copy of Dr Kambore's letter - which, thankfully, appeared to have been printed on nicely absorbent paper.

Unfortunately, upon awaking, I discovered that once more, I really had evacuated my bowels in my sleep. Once more, I shall have to give my hairshirt and robes to Mr Beaker for cleaning when he visits this morning. I do seem to be developing a bit of an issue as far as my digestive system is concerned. Mr Beaker is starting to grumble about the amount of washing he is having to do.

On a more positive note, I view the dream that I had as being highly propitious, Mr Mohamed. I am sure that these lavatorial visions of mine point towards a successful outcome for us in our business.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Thank you for your email, and for your condolences following the loss of my next of kin, that chap from Korea. Your kind thoughts are very much appreciated.

I am keen to move forward with claiming this money. However, you have asked me to send you a copy of a domestic bill and a copy of my passport. I must apologise, but I am unable to provide you with either of these things. Living as I do in an anchorhold that is attached to Saint Bodkin's church, I have no domestic bills, and I have not had a passport for decades.

I do hope that this will not present us with a problem. If it would help, I could ask the vicar, Reverend Murray (no relation) to write a character reference for me, and I could send that to you in place of the documents you have requested. Would that be sufficient for your requirements?

Subject: This is all getting very complicated

Sent: Tue, 20 Jan 2026 10:18

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Firstly, please allow me to apologise for the delay in getting back to you. I am having problems connecting to the internet. The verger told me on Sunday that the church's wi-fi router has developed a fault and that it keeps switching itself off. Each time it does so, I lose my internet connection and I have to wait for the verger to turn it back on again, but he is not here all the time; sometimes during the week, he does not visit the church for days.

The verger tells me that he has reported the fault and that is is hoping to receive a replacement router at some point this week. But for now, if you do not hear from me for a while, this will be the reason. I apologise for any inconvenience.

Now then, this business with the bank has suddenly got very complicated. Dr Kambore has responded to me, and he is demanding that either I travel to Burkina Faso, or that I send a lawyer there on my behalf! Apparently we need the services of a lawyer to obtain a number of official documents.

Obviously, being an anchorite - and not being in possession of a passport - there is no way that I can travel to Africa. And I have not used the services of a lawyer for years.

I could always approach the lawyer whose services I made use of when I ran my own pharmaceutical business, if you think that would be advisable: Mr Welsby, of the legal firm Elton & Welsby. He is a very decent chap and I trust him implicitly. He is thoroughly honest, and also charges a very fair fee.

I can't recommend Welsby highly enough. He proved invaluable some years ago after an unfortunate incident involving a mix-up between a vat of eye-drop solution and a vat of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Not only did Welsby manage to get all charges dropped, he also persuaded the judge to award us costs against the blinded individuals. What do you think, Mr Mohamed? Should I ask Mr Beaker to contact Welsby and ask whether he would be able to swing into action on our behalf?

I have to say, Mr Mohamed, when I agreed to take part in this business, I had no idea that it would turn out to be so convoluted. I do not deal well with stress, and this is causing me a considerable amount of worry. As a result, I have soiled my hairshirt three times in as many days, which is a most undesirable state of affairs - both for myself and for Mr Beaker. I am concerned that if my current bowel-related issues continue, Mr Beaker will not want to carry on as my assistant, and I rely on him utterly.

Please get back to me with your thoughts on what we should do next, Mr Mohamed. I am relying on you.

Yours peturbedly,

Gilbert Murray

PS. On a more positive note, my lavatorial visions of the Great Prophet Noel keep occurring. I am convinced that he is using these visions as a means of communicating with me. I have decided to start documenting these visions in a new book, which I am provisionally calling Revelations of Divine Lavs. Writing it brings me no small amount of peace.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you Mr Murray for letting me knows where you are with the bank and the impossibility of your delay respond on a daily basis. But I must say that this transaction needs daily communication because the more time you waste in dealing with the bank the more delay we have to finalize this money into your account.

I must also say that you don't have to complain about stress and other for now, this is because nothing good comes easily. Stress doesn't kill if apply sincerely and honorably. Mr Murray, we are dealing with $15 million and if we perfect the bank procedure and abide to their transferring rules and regulation, no stress will be enough to overcome the success we will receive soon.

Concerning the bank request for you to come to Burkina Faso for official documents, yes is true no bank transferred huge amount of money without sensitive documentation backing up the claim from the Next of Kin. Though you didn't inform me the exact documents the bank asked from you.

Secondly, the bank also required you to send your lawyer due to your message to me now. Please can you send your lawyer all the way from United Kingdom to Burkina Faso, and that will cost you a lot of money considering travelling from UK to Africa before procuring the document from anywhere the bank might have told you.

Let me advice you so that everything will be easy for us and claim this money. I will advice that you boldly tell the bank of Africa to give you a bank lawyer to represent you and do the needed on your behalf. I think with this everything will be easy for us and save cost also.

The Bank of Africa has a competent reliable and honest lawyer. Yes I am working here in the bank and I know that the bank have a powerful lawyer who has been representing the bank for the past 17 years without no error or problem. I would have given you his name and information now but I cannot do that to avoid suspicious and the bank will ask you who give you their lawyer. So please kindly contact the bank and tell them to give you their lawyer to make everything easier for us sir.

More importantly, we need this $15 million not the stress or whatever we may spend that really matters, what really matter is the ability to conclude this transaction and receive this money into your account.

Now that I think about it, Dr Kambore did send me details of a lawyer in his last missive. And I agree that using a lawyer in Burkina Faso should cost a lot less that engaging Welsby's services and asking him to travel all the way to Africa and back. To be honest, I am not sure that he would even agree to take on such a job.

The church's wi-fi router appears to be having a good day - so far, in any case. I shall make the most of it and contact the lawyer immediately.

Dear Mr Murray,

Yes, without been told sending a professional lawyer from United Kingdom to Africa precisely Burkina Faso will cost you a huge amount of thousands of dollars or thousands of pounds sterling.

A bank lawyer will cost you less for the procurement of documents and take small fee for his own personal engagement because he will be afraid to charge you heavily not to offend the bank because the bank gave him to you. But your lawyer in United Kingdom will charge you heavily especially when he know the amount you are claiming.

If care is not taken, he will charge you more than $50,000, he will charge for his risking allowances to and fro and hotel accommodations here in Burkina Faso, before the documents fee because documents is not free the government will take money for issuing such important documents.

I will always advice you so that everything will be easier for us until you confirm our inheritance money into your account for both benefits.

Please contact the bank lawyer immediately hence you said Dr Kabore had already sent you the lawyer contact.

Finally be fast sir because we are suppose to confirm the $15 million into your account before this month ends.

I have visited the Director of the Bank of Africa to verified your case after I received your message yesterday and the bank director (Dr James Sawam) who is the foreign remittance director of the bank, Dr Iddris Kambore, of the foreign transfer settlement director a department assigned for foreign transfer.

They have given me go ahead to fully represent you and procured the listed documentations backing up your inheritance funds transferred of $15 million USD in-line with the bank protocols.

As officers of the court, all attorneys are obligated to maintain the highest ethical standard. In furtherance of this obligation, attorney is guided by a code of conduct, the code of professional responsibility, as adopted by the appellate division of state supreme court. Attorneys who violate the law or fail to abide by this code of conduct are subject to discipline, which may include admonishment, reprimand, censure, suspension or loss of his or her license to practice law.

In Burkina Faso state, authority over the conduct of attorneys rests with the appellate division of state supreme court and the discipline and grievance committees (the committees) appointed by that court. The committees are made up of both attorneys and no attorneys, working with the court appointed, state finance, full time professional staff each committees investigates the complaints received by it or, in some cases, refers the complaint to a county bar association for resolution.

Complaints must be in writing, and if the complaints describes conduct which would be considered improper, if proved, the attorney against whom the complaint is made must respond to the complaint in writing. If the committees determine after investigation that the attorney's conduct was improper, it can send the attorney a letter of caution, admonition or reprimand, advising him or her of the impropriety of the conduct. These letters are not made public, but are retained as part of the attorney's record.

The complaint is advised if action is taken. In case of serious misconduct, the committee may refer the matter to court for action. If the court, after hearing by a disciplinary panel or referee, decides to take disciplinary action against that attorney, the decision customarily is made public.

You have contacted me to represent you and procured the transferring certificates from the governmental parastatals and submit them to the Bank of Africa and also witnessed the transfer of your inheritance funds worth of $15 Million America Dollar and sign off the final release order on your behalf.

Be legally advised and caution that this chamber is all to the task bestowed on me and I shall do my best to ensure that your funds are transfer to your designated account.

At this junction, I am going to the governmental parastatals, I mean the Federal High Court of Justice with other ministries where these 4 required transfer certificates are to be obtained and after my verification on the prices of each document from the government offices, I will notify by sending you the price and amount of money needed for the procurement, including my representation fee which you will be require to send to me immediately for the fact that the Bank director told me that your inheritance funds in their custody will be approved and transferred immediately the aforementioned certificates is procured and submit to the bank.

I will get back to you later to notify you the cost and prices to obtain the needed legal transfer certificates as stated below:

  • Court Order Certificate.
  • International Permit Certificate.
  • Clearance Certificate.
  • Change Of Ownership Certificate.

You are welcome to this legal law firm and everything you desire will be done to the best of your understanding.

This is my 28th years of practising law without blemish, my 18th years of representing Bank of Africa without any single blame or misconduct.

I am a qualified lawyer; I represent banks, companies, foreign organization, and individuals as the case may be, therefore having me as your representative Lawyer in Burkina Faso to defend your right and obligation, I think you have made a good choice.

Finally, you lacked the power and constitutional basis to request for an attorney working particulars or credentials, my educational background for representing and defending your right and obligation.

It is against the rules and regulations of all license lawyers working under the Burkina Faso Bar Association. We won't tolerate such demand and such request is total illegal from a client to whom it may concern no matter his status, riches and reputation.

I am representing and defending your beneficiary status and my contact was given to you by the bank management, and you have contacted me for the services, which I am going to execute with immediate effect.

Do you think that the bank will give you my contacts if I am not qualified as a lawyer? Please respect my working conduct, am not oblige by law to tell you the secondary school and the university I went before becoming a certified and qualified lawyer. What is your business with my qualifications, is that the services you contacted me for? Is that your inheritance fund you are about to claim from the Bank of Africa? I hope this will not repeat itself again, because you are the only client since my inception as a lawyer requesting for my degree and all that. This is absurd in the highest order.

I am astonished over your demand and I do hopes this request is an act of impunity will not continue from your side.

I do not bow for money but for integrity and mutual respect.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I seal my authorization dully (sic) authenticated.

FEES AND COSTS FOR LEGAL SERVICES

(a) Clearly Fees and Costs. An attorney shall not enter into an agreement for, charge, or collect a legal fees, is prohibited by law, or clearly excessive fee or cost, or a fee generated by employment that was obtained through advertising or solicitation not in compliance with the Rules Regulating The Burkina Faso Bar.

(1) After a review of the facts, a lawyer of ordinary prudence would be left with a definite and firm conviction that the fee or the cost exceeds a reasonable fee or cost for services provided to such a degree as to constitute clear overreaching or an unconscionable demand by the attorney; or

(b) Factors to Be Considered in Determining Reasonable Fees and Costs.

(1) Factors to be considered as guides in determining a reasonable fee include:

(A) The time and labor required, the novelty, complexity, and difficulty of the questions involved, and the skill requisite to perform the legal service properly;

(B) The likelihood that the acceptance of the particular employment will preclude other employment by the lawyer;

(C) The fee, or rate of fee, customarily charged in the locality for legal services of a comparable or similar nature;

(D) The significance of, or amount involved in, the subject matter of the representation, the responsibility involved in the representation, and the results obtained;

(E) The time limitations imposed by the client or by the circumstances and, as between attorney and client, any additional or special time demands or requests of the attorney by the client;

(F) The nature and length of the professional relationship with the client;

(G) The experience, reputation, diligence, and ability of the lawyer or lawyers performing the service and the skill, expertise, or efficiency of effort reflected in the actual providing of such services; and

(C) Consideration of All Factors. In determining a reasonable fee, the time devoted to the representation and customary rate of fee need not be the sole or controlling factors. All factors set forth in this rule should be considered, and may be applied, in justification of a fee higher or lower than that which would result from application of only the time and rate factors.

A fee for legal services that is nonrefundable in any part shall be confirmed in writing along with signed document from the particular lawyer or lawyer's and shall explain the intent of the parties as to the nature and amount of the nonrefundable fee.

The test of reasonableness found in subdivision (b), above, applies to all fees for legal services without regard to their characterization by the parties.

The fact that a contract may not be in accord with these rules is an issue between the attorney and client and a matter of professional ethics, but is not the proper basis for an action or defense by an opposing party when fee-shifting litigation is involved.

In the aspect of my services charges, it may be consider for the fact that you will pay for the transfer legal documents as well as my personal representation fee before procuring the documents and hand it over to the handler's of your funds The Bank Of Africa and immediately you confirm your inheritance funds of $15 million USD into your designated bank account in the United Kingdom you will remit $25,000.00 USD to me for my job well done.

ATTENTION: MR GILBERT MURRAY

Transferring inheritance funds to a foreign bank account involves legal and banking procedures, primarily requiring documentation to prove the legitimacy of the funds to prevent money laundering. The process involves identifying the executor, obtaining legal clearance, and using international wire transfers to move the funds.

We are determined to release and transferred these funds into your nominated bank account in the United Kingdom, as soon as we receive the required transfer documents from your representative lawyer, who we had assigned to oversee the legal process and procured the certificates.

We invited the assigned lawyer (Hon Pascal Okoh, our respected accredited financial lawyer) to our bank this morning to explain how far he has gone with the procurement of the transfer documents, but to our surprised he said that he had contacted you with the cost of the procurement and that he is yet to hear from you.

It is important we inform you that we are not authorise to confiscate these funds, and we are legally and officially bind to release and transfer these funds to you as the recognized Next of Kin when we receive the procedural certified documents from the High Court of Justice Burkina Faso as the law requires.

You are directed to provide the documents to this bank through the lawyer for onward remittance as this bank cannot boycott existing rules and regulations in transferring an inheritance funds from the paying bank to foreign existing bank account.

The rules are there to be respected by all parties involves avoiding Central Bank of Burkina Faso confiscation.

Thank you for your co-operations.

Please be assured that everything is in hand with the bank's lawyer. I have contacted Mr Okoh and satisfactory progress is being made.

I will get back to you with an update in the near future.

  • A copy of your law degree, and any other relevant legal qualifications.

I look forward to hearing back from you by return, with the requested information.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you for the message, but I must not fail to express my little disappointments from your side in delaying this God giving opportunity.

I don't know why your church wi-fi router is not functioning very well because as I earlier said this transaction needs daily communication for the fact that what we are claiming is not just money only, it is a fortune that can change lives and create everlasting financial impact for our both families.

This is $15 million deal sir, and its needs our full commitment so that we can be able to claim the money into your account not the other way round.

I also want to let you know that nobody can do it for us if not you and I who is the beneficiaries of this money. I think the truth must be told if we are to succeed this great life time God giving opportunity.

My happiness is that the bank has fully recognize you as the Next of Kin and the new owner of this money now, but it is not enough to receive the money into your account excepting we fulfill the bank requirements.

Well as you said you have contacted the bank lawyer and progress is being made, I believe you but be fast sir and if you need my advice don't hesitate because this fund $15 million belong to you and myself.

I wish you happy weekend and extend my warmest greetings to your beautiful family.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

I hope that you enjoyed a pleasant weekend with your family.

I am pleased to be able to relay some good news about the church's wi-fi router. The verger has informed me that a replacement router is due to be delivered today, so hopefully my connectivity problems will soon be at an end.

I prayed daily all last week to the Great Prophet Noel for a swift end to these issues, but to no avail. I can only assume that wireless technology is not His strong point.

Now, on a less positive note, I must inform you that I am not completely happy with the lawyer that the bank has suggested I use. I have been waiting for some days now for the man to send me some documents, and he has not yet done so.

I know that you are keen to hide your involvement in this matter from the bank, but if there is anything you can do at your end to move things forward, it would be much appreciated. These delays are causing me a great deal of worry, and I have soiled my hairshirt on a number of occasions as a result. Mr Beaker is not a happy man.

On a related matter, I was talking to the verger this weekend about our little business, and I mentioned to him that you had offered to donate a percentage of your portion of the money to a good cause. The verger was extremely interested when he heard this, and he told me about a charitable organisation that he is setting up with some like-minded male friends of his.

The verger explained that he and his friends used to be heavily involved in efforts to help young orphans in developing countries. He told me that they used to make numerous trips to Thailand to seek out vulnerable young orphans who were in need of help, and that he used to have a large collection of photographs of the young Thai girls - and boys, in some cases - that he and his friends had come across.

Following an unfortunate misunderstanding over these photographs, the verger was forced to spent a lengthy sabbatical polishing the silverware at Pentonville chapel, and foreign travel for him is now curtailed as a result. However, he tells me that he and his friends still have an irresistable urge to seek out vulnerable young people, and that they are keen to continue their good work in this country.

The verger and his friends are in need of funds for their new charity - the National Association for the Benefit Of Kids Of Vulnerability (NABOKOV) - and he was wondering whether you would be interested in making a donation to the charity once this business has been concluded? Do let me know. It sounds to me to be a very worthy cause.

Please do let me know if there is anything you can do to prompt the bank's lawyer to move more quickly, Mr Mohamed. I will pray for the Great Prophet Noel to assist you in this.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you once again for message; this is how it supposes to be until the fund enters your account before communication stop. I am happy now that your church router wi-fi is functioning properly.

Frankly speaking, it is impossible for me to bring myself out as far this deal is concern, if I do everything will spoil and land me into big trouble.

Any bank officials who conspired with a foreign client to move money from the bank, if he or she is caught all his personal property including his family will face the full consequences of the law and the business in question will stop automatically.

That is why I am trending carefully and cautiously until you confirm our money into your account.

Yes reluctance to fully commit, often due to potential problems, uncertainty, or a desire to avoid mistakes. You are the man the bank recognized as the real Next Of Kin, so you are free to contact the bank and lawyer anytime any day until you confirm the money into your account.

Now, you have not really tell me what is going on between you and the lawyer because I see no reason why procurement of documents has become a big problem to solve when you know how much of money we are going to receive into your account. $15 MILLION DOLLAR IS NOT A SMALL MONEY SIR.

I don't understand, you told me you have contacted the bank lawyer well and fine, but whats holding the lawyer for the procurements of the transferred required documents.

I don't know if the lawyer required big money from you for the procurement of the documents, which is making you reluctant to fix I don't know. Anyhow, let me know that is why we are partner, we are partner to perfect everything concerning this deal together because one person cannot suffer it alone no.

Expenses cannot kill us and it can't more than the profits and benefit we are going to share at the end of the day. You said you are completely not happy with the lawyer, can you please explain and throw more light on it.

If you know there is a place I can assist you for some payment let me know than delaying this process. After all, there is provision for the expenses which is 5% we are going to withdraw from your account after the whole fund is transferred to settle any expenses we both incur.

Yes, I repeat my vowed I will donate 10% from my share to a good cause precisely to the church you attended, while another 10% will go for the charitable home, motherless babies, so on and so forth.

In reality, I am going to donate 20% from my 60% and invest the rest in profitable businesses there in the United Kingdom.

I am grateful to God for this big opportunity so I will not be stingy when spending it, but my share after removing 20% will be properly invested there in the United Kingdom through your advice too.

Please be fast and hurry up with the lawyer and don't fail to tell me know what is the problem between you and the lawyer so that I will know where to advice or assists if need be.

Mohamed

Mr Okoh,

Twice now I have requested information from you, to enable me to make a decision on whether or not to engage your services. Twice now, you have failed to provide me with the information.

I can only presume that for some reason, you do not wish me to avail myself of your legal services. Perhaps you are too busy servicing other clients.

If that is the case - that you do not wish to take me on as a client - I would appreciate it if you would let me know, rather than remaining silent, as you are doing at the moment. Common courtesy - which I can only assume is something they did not teach you at law school - demands nothing less.

If, on the other hand, you do wish to take me on as a client, I would advise you to respond to me immediately with the information that I requested, viz:

  • Details of your qualifications, from secondary school onwards.
  • A copy of your law degree, and any other relevant legal qualifications.
  • Details of your charging structure, including an estimate of what it will cost me to have you procure the above documents.
  • Two signed references from existing or past clients.

You are not the only lawyer in the world, Mr Okoh. Either send me the information I have requested, or I shall engage the services of another lawyer - one who actually displays some interest in taking me on as a client.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Thank you for your email. You asked for more information on the situation with the bank's lawyer. I am happy to oblige.

I have asked Mr Okoh to send me details of his professional qualifications, together with two references from other clients, to enable me to make a decision as to whether or not to engage his services. I have asked him for this information three times now, and so far, nothing has been forthcoming.

This morning, I sent Mr Okoh an ultimatum: either send me the information I have requested, or I shall engage the services of a different lawyer. I can always turn to the eminent Welsby if Mr Okoh does not pull his shabby socks up. Granted, there may be additional costs to bear if we get Welsby involved, but given the amount of money at stake here, any additional costs would pale into insignificance.

I will let you know as soon as Mr Okoh responds.

The stress and worry that Mr Okoh is causing me is most regrettable: I am now soiling my hairshirt and robes at a rate of two or three times a day, and Mr Beaker is growing tired and irritable at the amount of washing he is having to do. May Noel help us.

On a more positive note, I spoke to the verger this morning and he tells me that as far as the new router is concerned, all shall be well, and all shall be well, and all manner of things shall be well. What a pleasant turn of phrase. I am tempted to make use of it in the book I am writing.

I mentioned to the verger that you would be willing to make a sizeable donation to his new charity, and he was absolutely delighted. He is going to inform his friends later today, and he tells me that they will make a start immediately at identifying some vulnerable young children who may be able to benefit from their ministrations. Noel bless you, Mr Mohamed.

May I wish you a pleasant day. I must go: those prayers will not say themselves.

Our ref: BOA/OUA/FRD/2547/APF07/BF

ATTENTION: MR GILBERT MURRAY

After receiving your message yesterday, we invited the lawyer. It's so pathetic that you have not be able to comply with the accredited lawyer that the bank assigned to you, knowing full well that the bank authority would never introduce a lawyer that is not competent to you. The lawyer has fully explained to us why he is delaying to obtain the needed transferred documents from the court.

His explanation was so sad to our hearing, saying that you are requesting him to send you his professional law degree qualifications from secondary school onwards, a copy of his law degree, and two signed references from his existing past engagements with his clients, a thing the lawyer called misconduct and totally against their law profession in Burkina Faso bar association.

We vividly recalled that almost 18th years he has been serving and representing this bank in all our financial obligations, no error has been made by him, and nobody whatever has accused him of misconduct neither do the bank management ask him to submit his professional qualifications to us. We have no right for that, we only have right to engage him as a lawyer, in as much as he didn't find wanting in any area of his profession. He is a qualified lawyer for goodness sake.

Be officially informed that asking a professional lawyer of his caliber to send you his academicals credential and qualifications before you fully engage him, sound so disrespectful to the entire bank institution, and also degrading the lawyer professional credibility and that annoyed the lawyer beyond his level of tolerance. He complained bitterly to us this morning, saying that you are not representing him by law, but he is the one representing you if only you allow him to do the job.

Be recalled that we the Bank management requested for your personal and Government issued international passport in line with the banking protocols, but none did you supply to us. We didn't because of that cancel your application of claim; this is because we believed that this is your inheritance fund due to the information you supplied to us through your application of claim.

It is your personal right to send your qualifications or information and nobody have the right to force you against your will. To make everything goes smoothly for the sake of your inheritance fund in our bank which automatically belongs to you as a result of Next of Kin, with the accurate information of our deceased customer, we recommend that if you cannot engage our lawyer to perform his duty and procure the needed transferred documents on your behalf, and also sign off the final release order of your inheritance fund, then provide us your personal lawyer or any lawyer of your choice that can stand for you and exercise the same duty.

It is not compulsory you must use our bank lawyer, but what are compulsory are the procedural needed transferred certificates for smooth swift transfer of your inheritance fund as the law demands. The reasons why we recommend our lawyer to you is the fact that it will make thing easier for you, and we will carefully monitor him as well against a private lawyer who will excessively charge you.

It is not our responsibility to tell him what to do or how to charge you for the services, it is totally his responsibility and your duty to comply with him that is all.

Be categorically inform that claiming an inheritance fund doesn't give you the right to delay or stay forever before you comply with the bank rules and regulations in such a claim.

We respect the status of your inheritance and we will execute the transferred when we receive the need to do so.

Thanks for your understanding and cooperation.

Congratulations.

Sent: Tue, 27 Jan 2026 15:02

Dear Dr Kambore,

I have just read the astonishing email that you sent to me.

Why has your lawyer come bleating to you, complaining that he has been asked to provide a copy of his professional qualifications and a couple of references - a perfectly reasonable request, given the circumstances?

And why is it you who is dealing with this matter, and not Mr Okoh? Is the man incapable of responding to his own emails? When I asked him to prove his credentials, I expected him to respond, not you: I was addressing the monkey, not the organ grinder.

It pains me to say it, but Mr Okoh seems to be acting more like a spoiled child who has filled his nappy while playing with his toys in a sandpit than a qualified legal professional. I am not impressed with the man.

I feel that the recalcitrant Mr Okoh has left me with no alternative but to seek a different lawyer to represent me. One who will happily prove his credentials and provide references when asked - as any reputable lawyer would be happy to do. I shall ask my assistant, Mr Beaker, to consult a lawyer whose services I used some years ago: Mr Welsby, of the legal firm Elton & Welsby.

Welsby is one of the finest legal brains in Lincolnshire, and he navigates the twists and turns of the legal jungle like a greased greyhound with ginger up its back passage. I am sure that he will be able to do an excellent job of helping me to claim my inheritance from that Korean fellow, whatever his name was.

I shall get back to you when I hear back from Welsby. Then hopefully we will be able to make some actual progress.

You have provoked me to anger, Dr Kambore. Real anger. And anger is a sin. A sin for which I must be punished. This is going to hurt, Dr Kambore. And it is your fault.

May Noel grant me fortitude as I wield my knout. And may He give me strength in my dealings with you.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thanks for the message Mr Murray. I well appreciate your effort from the beginning of this great deal, and I can assure you that our effort will never be in vain as you can see already. Thank you again for informing me about the lawyer and what you requested from he. It is my right to advice you when necessary to avoid unnecessary mistakes especially in this our inherited money that we are about claiming into your account.

Mr Okoh is a lawyer I know him personally but not personal friend anyway, I know he as our bank lawyer for so many years, so asking him to send you his qualifications will look like as an insult to him. I am guessing not concluding.

If he is not a lawyer I would not have advice you to contact he for the first place because what happen to you happen to me as far this transaction is concern Mr Murray. If you have told me what you are going to ask from the lawyer I would have advice you to forget about that and focus of the certificates procurement.

I think you have suppose to forget his qualifications and all that whether he has represented other client before or not just to make sure that we get what we want from him which is the transferring documents required by the bank.

It is true that no amount of money as expenses really matter compare to the size of the money we are claiming anyway, you are right on that point, but we must make one thing clear which is the time factor sir. Can we spend one year to claim this fund that is already ours, we need to pull it out as soon as we can to enable us invest the money in whatever businesses we intend to do in the United Kingdom.

Dragging with the bank lawyer for his qualifications will look like you don't trust him as a lawyer, and that might make he upset. You know lawyers are very pride people they believe that they are well learned and that no clients should control them in as much as they exercise their duty very well.

Sending your lawyer from United Kingdom to Burkina Faso will truly take some time and cost us some additional money which there is no problem about the cost, but what about the time factor when we can get the services of a lawyer here in Burkina Faso who understand the country very well and how to get it faster and whatever he want from the court.

These are factors to be considered too in such engagement. If Mr Okoh didn't heed to your request maybe he sees it as an insult to his reputation or your request doesn't back up by law, then while can't you ignore the request and focus on the procurement expect of it so that he can help get the documents from the court to the bank that is all.

The most significant thing here is our inherited money with the documents from the court of law so that the money will be transferred successfully without any hindrance.

Why am saying this is that a man can at times swallow his pride because of what he about to achieve. I rest my case it is well with us in Jesus mighty name amen.

Mr Mohamed

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray,

The law says lawyers are not mandated to oblige to unnecessary demands from his or her client but lawyers are compelled to exhibits the duty in which he was hired for.

I am a humble lawyer from a humble beginning, and my jurisprudence is not in line with what you are asking from me before you fully engage me as your representative lawyer in Burkina Faso.

I respect the fact that your fund is with the BOA management, and you contacted me for help, that doesn't give you the right to have access to my hard earned qualifications and those that I had represented before as a qualified lawyer.

Burkina Faso Bar Association never told any lawyer to sell our qualifications right to foreign engagement before we are been hired by one.

My legal jurisprudence is the philosophy or science of law, involving the theoretical study of legal principles, systems, and reasoning, asking what is law, and what should it be, it analyzes the nature, origins, functions, and underlying theories like natural law, positivism of legal rules, exploring their moral, social, and cultural foundations, and how they relate to other disciplines like ethics and politics.

We can divide jurisprudence into two main parts, analytical jurisprudence and normative jurisprudence. Analytical jurisprudence involves the scientific analysis of legal concepts and structures, while normative jurisprudence recognizes what the law should be based on moral and political philosophy.

Jurisprudence, also known as theory of law or philosophy of law, is the examination in a general perspective of what law is and what it ought to be.

You have not registered with my law firm, yet you need my qualifications to be tender to you on a platter of gold.

I agreed with you, lawyers are generally expected to be transparent about their background, experience. Registering with my law firm matter most too to every lawyer before sending you my qualification and what have you. If truly you need my qualifications and how I operate as a lawyer, then you have to registered with my legal law firm first.

I am here for clients to hire me not to show up my qualifications. Then if you need it right before you, provide me registration and consultation fee as well.

Don't miss things up my qualifications is not for sell but for the fact that you need it as you requested, you must also send me my registration fee so as to know I am representing you before releasing my vital sensitive credentials.

You don't tell a lawyer of my caliber to send you my qualifications and credentials, two clients I had represented for the past, then after that before you will now know whether to engage me or not. For me it is a pure and a polite insult to my personality.

Therefore, before sending your request you must first of all register with me. If that is okay with you, we are good to go.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I seal my authorization dully (sic) authenticated.

Dear Mr Murray,

Good morning sir, I hope you slept very well last night. I didn't slept well I was just thinking about this our transaction with the money at stake in my mind all through the night.

But I had a dream for the few hours that I slept, and this has confirms to me that truly God want to bless us with this money and there is not going to be room for distraction at all.

My dream is that I was in a foreign country, a white man country for that matter; suddenly a gentle man, a white man came to pick me in a place that looks like airport and immediately the car he uses to carry me was pure white car and he drove me straight to a certain compound I cannot remember clearly.

When I woke up I told my wife the dream she said to me that whatever am doing now as business will come to pass in white color meaning our money will be transferred into your account whether the devil likes it or not.

Because in our Africa adage which says that if a black man dreamt of a white man in his dream meaning that he is going to be successful in whatever he is doing right away.

This is not only dreaming of white man but seeing myself in a white man country speaks volumes and good things coming.

Please sir when you hear from the lawyer let me know your plan and situation report so as to have rest of mind because I am not really happy that our money is still in the bank till date and the documents has not be procure either.

I believe we will overcome all this obstacles and come out successful very soon.

Have a nice day.

Sent: Thu, 29 Jan 2026 10:01

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Thank you for your advice, and for your comments about Mr Okoh.

Thanks to Mr Okoh's intransigence, I had made my mind up to engage the eminent Welsby's services in this business. With that in mind, I gave Mr Beaker the task of visiting Welsby's office yesterday, to make arrangements for him to act on my behalf.

However, it pains me to have to relate that Welsby is currently unable to take on any new work; his secretary informed Mr Beaker that Welsby is currently away, representing our local Member of Parliament at the High Court in London. Apparently our MP stands accused of the murder of two Russian diplomats, his landlord and an electrician, offences against the Official Secrets Act, and the shooting of a chimpanzee. On top of that, the Russian government is apparently attempting to extradite him for questioning in connection with the death of a young Russian lady in a Moscow hotel last year.

I simply cannot believe that our MP would be capable of such acts; he has always seemed to be such a pleasant chap. Still, he could not wish to have better legal representation. I am confident that Welsby will be able to have him exonerated on all charges.

Sadly, Welsby's absence means that I shall have to persevere with the otiose Mr Okoh.

On a more positive note, I had a dream last night which made me think that moving forward with Mr Okoh will not necessarily be a complete disaster. In my dream, I was standing in a toilet cubicle with the Great Prophet Noel. The toilet was full to the brim of human excrement. The Great Prophet Noel reached into the toilet, picked out a single small, round turd, the quantity of a hazelnut, and placed it in my hand. I looked down at it and saw that it had the word 'Okoh' written upon its surface, in tiny golden writing. And he said to me, 'It is all that is made'. And I marvelled how it might last, for I thought it might suddenly have fallen to nothing. And I was answered in my understanding: it lasts, and ever shall, because God loves it.

Do you see, Mr Mohamed? I believe that I am being shown that although Mr Okoh might present himself very poorly - even as a turd to me - God loves him, and despite my misgivings, I should persevere and work with the man.

I shall contact Mr Okoh today and attempt to break the current impasse. I will keep you informed of my progress. May I wish you a pleasant day.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Dear Mr Okoh,

Thank you for getting back to me. It is good to see that you have started to respond to emails yourself again, rather than relying on Dr Kambore to do it for you.

If I may speak frankly, my dear fellow, it seems to me that we have got off on the wrong foot, as it were. Please allow me to attempt to explain myself a little better, in the hope that we may find common ground and be able to work together.

You seem to be suggesting that I wish to 'sell' your qualifications. I want nothing of the sort; all I wish for is to see proof of your legal qualifications, to satisfy myself that you are a suitable person to engage in this business. I do not see this as being an unreasonable request.

If I were looking for a central heating engineer to fix a faulty gas boiler, I would ask to see proof of their qualifications and ask for references from satisfied customers, to ensure that they were capable of doing the job safely. This is all I am asking from you. I am considering taking on legal representation in another country - in another continent. This is not something I have ever done before. I am a cautious man, Mr Okoh. Please attempt to understand the reason for my caution.

A business associate of mine who tells me he has made your acquaintance - his name need not concern you - has suggested to me that you are perhaps a very proud, thin-skinned individual. I would ask you to put your pride to one side, Mr Okoh, to enable us to move forward on this matter.

If it helps, I am happy to say that if I have insulted you or your integrity in any way, I am truly sorry. I apologise. Believe me, Mr Okoh, insulting you is the last thing I wish to do in this business.

In conclusion, Mr Okoh, I would ask you to pick up the toys that you have jettisoned from your perambulator, and to keep firm hold of them throughout this business, to ensure that they do not get tossed once more to the floor in a fit of pique. Metaphorically speaking, of course.

All we need to to in order to move forward is for you to send me a copy of your legal qualifications and two references from satisfied clients, plus a precise breakdown of what this business will cost me. This should not be a problem for a legal professional. I look forward to hearing back from you by return.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you Mr Murray. Yes I always say that whatever God want no man that can change it, and God want you and me to inherit this $15 million and nobody, no devil, that can stop it excepting you yourself. The Bank of Africa cannot stop it, even the bank lawyer cannot stop the transfer of this money into your account if you stand your ground and remove certain pride and allow the lawyer to do his job and get the documents procure and submit it to the bank for immediate remittance of our inherited money to your account.

If I were you standing as Next of Kin to the bank and the bank has already recognize me like as they have recognize you so, I will not drag anything with the bank or the lawyer in as much as the documents is procure from the court and submit to the bank that is all.

You know how we both got this money that is about coming to your account, so dragging with the lawyer for his qualifications doesn't make sense to me at all, because lawyer qualifications cannot transferred the $15 million into your account, only the bank requirements which is the documents procured in Burkina Faso court that will make the bank legally and officially empower to release and transferred the money into your account without hindrance.

The great Prophet Noel kept on telling you that this business is for you and this transaction is where you will get some cool millions of dollars from that is why he kept appearing in your dreams.

This is a divine connection and we don't have to miss it because of anything. The great Prophet Noel is our guidance here if only you believe and act decisively to engage the lawyer for the documents not for his educational background that has nothing to do with the procurement of documents.

I am a small boy 53 before you even though you have not told me your age, but I believe in my mind that you are my elderly brother and a business partner.

Please tell the lawyer to go ahead and get the documents for you for the bank and forget about his qualifications, he is a lawyer I know him to be a lawyer even though I am not his friend.

Tell him to tell you what it will cost to get the certificates for the bank so that the bank will transfer our inherited money into your account as soon as possible.

Thank you sir for your support, but your effort will never be in vain because very soon you have some cool millions of dollar ($5,250,000, Five million, Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand America Dollar) as your share in this deal. For examples even though we spend two hundred thousand Dollars for this deal is not much compare to what we are going to get into your account.

I am not really happy for the delay at all.

Subject: I share your frustration over these delays

Sent: Fri, 30 Jan 2026 08:07

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Trust me, my dear fellow, I share your frustration over these delays. I am most displeased at the poor attitude that Mr Okoh has displayed so far. The delays that he has caused have resulted in no end of stress and worry for me, with extremely unpleasant repercussions on my digestive health. Both Mr Beaker and I have suffered greatly - in our own different ways - as a result of Mr Okoh's hold-ups. The man obviously has no idea of the effect that his inaction has on the health and welfare of others. The past weeks have caused me to reflect on Mr Okoh's competence and reliability, and have left me with an overwhelmingly negative impression of the man.

Still, given the fact that Welsby is otherwise engaged, I proffered Mr Okoh a metaphorical olive branch yesterday, and apologised if I had insulted him inadvertently - I have no wish whatsoever to insult the man inadvertently. I am hoping that Mr Okoh will be willing to grasp the nettle - if I am not getting my metaphors too confused - and adopt a much more co-operative attitude so that we can make some progress at long last.

You asked my age. I am indeed older than you, Mr Mohamed: I am 73 years of age. And I have to say, my long years of experience have shown me that when it comes to dealing with insubordinate functionaries such as Mr Okoh, one must be firm: if one gives them an inch, they are liable to take a mile.

I am praying daily for the success of our business venture, Mr Mohamed. I trust that you are doing the same. Right will prevail in the end, despite Mr Okoh's best efforts to frustrate our purpose.

Incidentally, I have some good news to pass on regarding the verger's new charity. He told me earlier today that he has identified two vulnerable young children in the village - girls aged 13 and 14 - whom he feels would benefit greatly from his attention. The verger tells me that he has already tentatively made initial contact with these children with a view to gaining their trust, apparently via the media of vapes, alcopops and pre-paid SIM cards (the verger certainly knows what makes the younger generation tick). He assures me that with the donation to his charity that you have promised to make, he and his friends will be able to procure the trust of many more susceptible young people, and give them a start to life that they will never forget.

May the Great Prophet Noel bless the verger for his irrepressible charitable urges, and you for your boundless generosity.

Dear Mr Murray,

Thank you sir and good morning Mr Murray.

I am very much happy today you told me your age, you are 20 good years older than me. That is something I must respect fully because here in Africa we respect age a lot because what older men will see when they sit down a young man will not see it even if he climb trees. This is where I must always respect you until I come and meet you in the United Kingdom after our inherited money is fully transferred to your account.

I pray that the lawyer send you what you requested from him so that this money will be move into your account. The devil is a liar nothing that can stop us from receiving this money into your account sir.

Yes I do not play or joke with my vowed, I have said it several times and I am saying it again today, that I will donate 20% of my share inside the 60%, 10% to your church for the good work of God to increase the good job your church is doing. Why 10% will goes to motherless babies and charitable organization there in the United Kingdom. I have said it and that it is.

5% for all the expenses we may both incur together during this transferring process both here and in your bank receiving taxes too, I think this 5% will be enough to settle all.

Your 35% is not negotiable at all you deserve it, it will be for you and you use it the way you like.

Since you said you have already contacted the lawyer and you are waiting for his respond good and fine. I am waiting for you too.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray,

I received your message dated on 29/01/2026 with legal understanding. Please understand that I am not a proud lawyer, and anybody who told you that is trying to dent my image as a proud lawyer whereas is not true.

It is understandable that you want to get it done on your terms, and not the way the lawyer you intend to engage want.

I am not offended by your request, but I am a bit scared of your credibility as Next of Kin, with the fact that you are not willing to fulfill the procedures in claiming your inheritance fund from Burkina Faso to your designated bank account in the United Kingdom. This is the fact that your fund in questions has nothing to do with my qualifications, or whoever I have represented before you.

You are not representing me; rather I am the one representing you. If you are really serious to have my credential as demanded, you would have done as I said in my previous messages.

There is what we called a Power of Attorney, and rules of engagement, as well as the consultation fee, which is the most effective and important to every lawyer who is representing a foreign client.

The Powers Of Attorney say that a client must first of all register with the legal law firm for any international engagement for managing assets abroad. Understand how a Power of Attorney works internationally and get expert guidance to safeguard your interests wherever you are.

You have not sent your telephone number to the lawyer you want to engage, I got to know you through bank after you contacted me, none of your information that are with me, yet you want me to supply you my credentials and qualifications. You have not properly registered with me as your lawyer in Burkina Faso and yet you want my credentials and all that.

The bank gave you my information to contact me for such an important engagement which I wholeheartedly agreed. Due to the bank instructing me to handle the case urgently, I hurriedly sent you the price list of the documents required by the bank through my chamber document till date you have not acknowledged it. Yet you need my qualifications, what proof that you are willing to abide by the code of conducts and ethics operated by this chamber.

If you are truly willing and your inheritance fund is so important to you, and you truly want the bank to transfer the fund legally into your bank account, you would have provide what it takes to procure the documents from the court of law in your full name.

If you cannot align with my working principles as your intended lawyer, then you have to contact the bank to give you another lawyer who will do the job for you without agreeing to his working code. I am not desperate to represent you or procure the documents on your behalf. I am a busy lawyer I have so many engagement who respect the principles of this legal law firm, and who doesn't impose his rules on the chamber.

Frankly speaking, we may find common ground and be able to work together, if allow you abide by the rules governing this law firm and provide the cost of the required documents, or you pay my consultation and representation fee, after that I will send you my credentials and what have you.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I cannot apologise enough for not having got back to you until now. Despite the verger having connected a new router, the church's wi-fi has started playing up again. It is working at the moment, but I do not know how long it will remain working.

This is tremendously irritating for me; and I can see that you are finding it just as irritating. I am so sorry, my dear fellow.

I am sad to relate that despite having proffered an olive branch to Mr Okoh, he is still resolutely refusing to comply with my requests. I simply do not know what to do. Do you know of any other lawyers we could use?

Oh, how I wish that the eminent Welsby were not otherwise engaged. I am sure that if we were using his services, that money would be safely in my bank account by now.

I do have one idea, Mr Mohamed, and I would like to hear your thoughts on it. To get around the wi-fi issues that are plaguing this business almost to the same extent as Mr Okoh's obstinate intransigence, I have been considering telling Mr Beaker about this business and asking him if he could help us out. He is obviously more mobile than I, so would be able to move things forward at times when the church wi-fi was not operational.

Good afternoon Mr Murray,

I hope you are doing fine as I assume. I am not really happy for the thing am seeing from you in handling this business. I don't pretend and don't like someone who I entrusted my life time financial opportunity into his hand to be pretending too.

Sir, I don't want to talk too much because you know what to do if you truly wanted to do it and remove pride from this transaction. If Mr Okoh has refused to comply with your request what has that got to do with the procurement of the transferred documents.

As a devoted child of the living God, the bible say that when one finger want to cause you sin you better cut it away. Meaning if Mr Okoh refuse to send you what you want from him, why not go ahead and engage him to do the job he was contacted for? So that our money will be transferred into your account. The procurement of the documents.

If you cannot follow my advice as the man who brought you into this profitable done deal and you cannot respect what the bank has given to you as a lawyer, who else you will listen to I don't know. I think I once told you before that lawyers are very proud people and they do not want their client to control them especially if they are the one representing the client.

Yes there are many lawyers here in Burkina Faso but who knows whether they will also agree with you concerning what you are requesting from them. I do not want the whole Burkina Faso to hear about this our business yet you are not pulling out the necessary action that will quarantine our money transferred into your account in UK.

By right if Mr Okoh refused to send you what you request for, as an intelligent and wise and prosperous minded person that you are Mr Murray, you forget about the request and tell him okay, I understand you Mr Okoh, now tell me what it will cost me to get the documents procure to the bank for the transfer of my inheritance money that is all. It is our money $15 million that really matter here not lawyer qualifications at all.

You have not done that, only complaining about Mr Okoh refuses your request as if Mr Okoh is heaven and earth in this business. We need a lawyer because of the documents procurement that is all. Why can't you use the Mr Okoh for the procurement of the documents alone and dump him afterwards.

Sir, who this Mr Beaker, is he a lawyer or bishop who is he. Have you not told he about this business ever since, and how are you sure he can be of a help to us when he is not living in Burkina Faso, and the fund we are claiming is in Burkina Faso, and the court that will provide the documents are in Burkina Faso, and the bank that will transferred the money into your account is in Burkina Faso, me your business partner who contacted you for this great opportunity is Burkina Faso.

Dragging power with the lawyer who will comply to each other doesn't necessary matter in this business; I think it is only common sense that really matters in this business.

I don't understand at all, I have told you all I can say, if you want us to receive this money into your account, everything is in your hand and the ball is already in your court.

If you want us to get what God has designed for us $15 Million into your account, please do the needful, writing and communication without success is zero and meaningless.

This not not Mr Murray this is Beaker. I am not a lawyer or a bishop I am Mr Murray's assistant and he has given me access to his email and he has asked me to email you because the internet at the church is not working so he cannot email you so he has told me his email password and asked me to get in touch with you because he says he is doing some business with you and the problem with the internet is stopping him from doing stuff and my internet at home is working fine. Well it isn't my internet really I just use my neighbour's internet because he hasn't put a password on it and the walls are thin but he doesn't know that and I am not going to tell him because then he might put a password on it and then I might have to pay for my own internet.

Anyway Mr Murray has told me he is trying to get some dead man's money moved into his account so that he can donate it to the church but that he is having some problems with a lawyer in Africa and he has told me that he wants me to sort it out and he said that I should get in touch with you first because he says that you know what you are talking about and that you will be able to tell me exactly what to do. He has called the lawyer some really bad names and I do not want to repeat them because some of them are very rude and I do not think that the lawyer would be very happy if he heard some of them and I was surprised to hear Mr Murray say them to be honest because he is a very religious man and I don't think the Great Prophet Noel would be very happy with him if he heard what Mr Murray had called the lawyer.

So can you tell me what I need to do Mr Sule because I want to help Mr Murray because he is very very worried and when he gets worried he poos himself and he has been doing that a lot recently and it is me that has to clean it up and wash his clothes and I am getting sick of it and he says that you are very helpful and that will be able to tell me exactly what I need to do.

Dear Mr Beaker,

Thank you Mr Beaker for the sound message.

Yes Mr Gilbert Murray is my business partner in the sense that in our bank there is this deceased customer who died alongside with his entire family living behind big abandoned fund in our bank $15 million, and I used my position in the bank to contact and brought in Mr Murray, so that he can stand before the bank as Next of Kin, to enable us claim the money together and donates large part to the church why we invest the balance into our private business in the United Kingdom. Hopefully and thankful enough the bank has accepted Mr Murray as the Next of Kin because the money is here unclaimed.

The bank now requested for some documents, transferred documents that will enable the bank to release and transferred the money into Mr Murray bank account in the United Kingdom which is normal and legal in accordance with banking rules and regulations.

Ever since the bank gave Mr Murray our bank lawyer who will stand on behalf of Mr Murray and procure the documents from the court of law in Burkina Faso so that everything will be officially legal to enable smooth remittance of the money into Mr Gilbert Murray bank account in UK without hindrance.

In Burkina Faso banking rules, when someone died and another person can come and inherit his or her money, is possible and legal in as much as you can follow the bank transfer procedure on inheritance claim.

The bank said provide the transferred documents from the court in Burkina Faso, because the money is here in Burkina Faso, and the bank that is going to transfer the money is in Burkina Faso.

Mr Murray according to him asked the bank lawyer to send him his qualifications before he can proceed with the lawyer.

I got to know this due to the information I have been receiving from Mr Murray, the lawyer refused to send him the request and the money is delaying and lying down in the bank which is not good for both of us. We need to execute this deal as quickly as possible, even though the bank has believed and agreed with Mr Murray as the Next of Kin, but delay is not good in this business at all.

He is our bank lawyer, I know him as our bank competent lawyer, the bank knows that the lawyer is competent to handle and procured the needed transferred documents from the court that was why the bank gave Mr Murray the lawyer, but Mr Murray is delaying the process because he and the lawyer has agreed on one point. Nothing seem to be working in this big opportunity that God has given to us because of this unnecessary delay.

I now advice Mr Murray to forget about asking the lawyer to send him his qualifications, because some lawyer might feel bad about it. Since we are the one who needed the lawyer services for the procurement of the required bank transferred documents, he should not drag this case for too long rather engage the lawyer directly, ask the lawyer to tell you how much the documents will cost and then proceed and pay the lawyer for his services so that the lawyer will go to the High Court of Justice and get the documents procure and tender the documents to the bank for immediate remittance of our inherited money $15 million into Mr Murray bank account that is all.

I am not truly happy about this delay so far, because the money might have been cooling in Mr Murray bank account by now, if he has engaged the lawyer directly for the procurement of the documents. The bank that gave you their lawyer contact is not a fool, the bank director knows that our bank lawyer is qualified to handle this case and do a good job. I have even told Mr Murray several times that the lawyer is a competent lawyer and he has been representing this bank for the past 17 years what else did Mr Murray want to see from the lawyer apart from the assignment he was hired for.

I wish and hope that Mr Murray change his mind and focus and engage with the bank lawyer so that the lawyer will go and procure the transferred documents from the court that is all. After we receive our inherited money into his account in UK, I think the lawyer will not come and share the money with us.

Now, what I want you to do is to contact the bank lawyer, Hon Okoh, Mr Murray has been communicating with the lawyer, he have the lawyer contact. Contact the lawyer and ask the lawyer to tell you how much is the cost of the required bank transferred documents. The documents is what is holding the transferred now nothing more. As soon as the lawyer procure the documents and submit to the bank our inherited money will be transfer into Mr Murray bank account in the United Kingdom, simple and final.

He said that his internet is still not working but hopefully he will stop worrying now that he knows that I am sorting things out that that will mean that he stops pooing himself because I have washed so many of his dirty clothes in the last few weeks that my washing machine is starting to smell of poo and my clothes are starting to smell of poo now as well even after they have been washed and that is not very nice although at least it means that people have stopped making nasty comments about my breath.

Mr Murray asked me to give you his best wishes and he asked me to tell you that he had had another dream about the Great Prophet Noel and a toilet and I can't remember the details because it was all a bit complicated but I do remember that there was a lot of poo involved in the dream and that when he woke up Mr Murray found out that he had pooed in his clothes again.

Thanking you,

Hello Mr Pascal,

This not not Mr Murray this is Beaker. I am Mr Murray's assistant and his internet is not working so he has given me access to his email and told me his email password and he has asked me to email you.

I understand that you and Mr Murray are trying to get some dead man's money moved into Mr Murray's bank account but not much is happening and it seems to me that Mr Murray blames you for the delay and he has called you some terrible names and you blame Mr Murray for the delay but I think we should forget about blaming people and that we should just get on with things. I have spoken to Mr Murray's business partner Mr Sule who has told me that you are a very good lawyer and he thinks we should just get on with things too.

Mr Sule told me that I should ask you how much it will cost to get the documents that Mr Murray needs so could you please let me know and then we can get things moving at last and then hopefully everybody will be happy and Mr Murray will get his money.

Thanking you,

Dear Mr Beaker,

Thanks for the good job you are doing on behalf of Mr Murray my senior brother and a partner. Yes I called him my senior brother in the sense that we are together in this profitable transaction that will eventually change our both families lives after we donates a large portion of the fund to the church, we will invest the remaining ones for our private businesses in the United Kingdom. Remember I am going to resign from the bank immediately Mr Murray receive and confirm this $15 million in his account. I will come to the United Kingdom immediately for the proper sharing and donation to the church as well.

Thank you again and again for your swift respond in this business, please I want to beg you for one thing do not let Mr Pascal Okoh the bank lawyer, to know that I brought Mr Murray into this business to claim this money into his account, because that will sound like I am collaborating with a foreigner to claim this money. Yes, Mr Pascal Okoh is our bank lawyer and he knows me as the Bill and Exchange Manager of this Bank of Africa but he doesn't know that I am directly involved in this business is that clear.

It is only Mr Gilbert Murray that knows what is we are doing with the bank to claim this money together because I brought Mr Murray in and thank God that everything is now going smoothly as you are directly involved now due to your constant internetworking and functioning.

Yes, I always told Mr Murray that the Great Prophet Noel is telling him to be focus in this business and that this transaction will leads to big financial breakthrough to everyone that involved and we will glorify the name of God at last. That is what the Great Prophet Noel is telling Mr Murray each time he dreamt of the Great Prophet Noel.

As a matter of facts, if these documents have been procured ever since this $15 million would have entered Mr Murray account by now. Nevertheless, the bank is going to get this money transfer into his account as soon as the lawyer procure the documents and tender it to the bank for immediate remittance of this fund to Mr Murray account simple and easy because everything concerning this money is real and officially legal to claim this money.

I will be very happy to hear from you as soon as you settle with the lawyer the cost of the documents and how fast you will react to the payment so that the lawyer get this documents because the documents is delaying the transferred of this fund to Mr Murray bank account.

Thank you Mr Beaker for making everything faster and becoming reality as we both planned it. This is big money that needs urgent finalization with the bank, because time and tide wait for no man.

God bless you Mr Murray my senior brother, and God bless you Mr Beaker and bless me too.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray/Mr Beaker,

I am a competent and reliable lawyer to help you claim your funds from the Bank of Africa. The documents are the main obstacles as far this inheritance fund is concern.

I have already sent Mr Gilbert Murray my working procedures and what it will cost him to obtain the documents from the High Court of Justice Burkina Faso to enable the bank release and transfer your inheritance fund into his bank account respectively.

Unfortunately, Mr Gilbert Murray started questioning my credibility as a lawyer and asking for my credentials and qualifications, as if he was the one who sent me to the university and law school.

Client has no right to impose his will on the lawyer he intend to hired especially claiming a huge amount of fund from the Bank of Africa. The bank knows my worth and credibility as a lawyer.

I have been practising law for the past 28 good years and representing Bank of Africa for 18 years now.

It make no sense to me if my credentials are what Mr Murray needs to claim his fund from Burkina Faso precisely the Bank of Africa; what he needs is my commitment and sincerely to execute the assigned bestowed on me by the bank and by him Mr Murray that is all, not my qualifications and the university I went is not his business at all.

The Bank of Africa categorically requested for the transferred documents to back up the fund transfer in accordance with the Burkina Faso rules and regulations on inheritance claiming.

It is often necessary to hire a lawyer to make a claim with the fund from the bank, and will gladly execute my duty as a lawyer to ensure that my client fund worth of $15,000,000 million United State Dollars are release and transfer into his account as soon as I obtain the documents from the court of law and submit them to the bank.

That was why the bank accredited and appointed me to be his lawyer, representing him to procure the documents until his fund is transfer; unfortunately Mr Murray doubted my credibility and that really annoyed me.

Now, the cost of the documentation required is in the below message:

  1. International Permits Certificate: ($1,110 USD)
  2. Court Order Certificate: ($1,350 USD)
  3. Clearance Certificate: ($1,550 USD)
  4. Change of Ownership Certificate: ($1,678 USD)
  5. My representation and registration fee is ($3,700 USD

TOTAL AMOUNT TO BE PAY IS ($9,388 USD).

And after Mr Murray inheritance fund has been successfully transferred into his bank account in the United Kingdom, he will pay me the total sum of $25,000 USD for my job well done, not negotiable because he is claiming $15 Million United State of America Dollars.

I have already sent him the price and cost and the documents with my receiving bank account details before, and I will resend it again now with this message.

Mind you, all payment should be made in USD dollars so as to enter my account smoothly, if you pay in pound sterling it will not come because of the currency and my bank has no corresponding bank in pound sterling.

So, when making the payment from your bank to my bank account in Burkina Faso, convert your pound sterling to US dollar equivalent of $9,388 USD before sending, with that your payment will be receive by me in 72 hours.

As soon as I receive the payment, I will switch into action heading to the High Court and procure the needed transferred documents and submit them to the bank for immediate remittance of your inheritance fund into your designated bank account in United Kingdom.

My receiving bank account details:

BANK NAME: UNITED BANK FOR AFRICA BURKINA FASO (UBA)

ACCOUNT NAME: OKOH PASCAL

ACCOUNT NUMBER: 42350000xxxx

IBAN: BF9626022012644235000089xxxx

Sent: Thu, 05 Feb 2026 12:08

Hello Mr Pascal,

Hello Mr Pascal it is not Mr Murray it is me Beaker again because Mr Murray's internet is still broken.

Mr Murray was right when he said that you were very touchy about being asked for proof of your qualifications. Mr Murray used to study psychology or psychiatry I'm not sure which but he said that you showed signs of an inferiority complex and he said maybe that was because your mum or your dad did not show any love to you when you were little or maybe that was because you were really short or something like that or maybe you were just dropped on the head when you were a child or something and he said that a psychologist or a psychiatrist I can't remember which would have a field day with you. But I think we should leave that to one side and get on with this business. But please do try not to feel so inadequate Mr Pascal because I am sure that it is not good for your mental health.

Nobody has ever asked me for my qualifications and that is a good thing because I do not have any but I am sure that if anyone did ask to see my qualifications I would not mind showing them because I would be proud of them.

But anyway thank you for letting me know how much money you want Mr Murray to pay you to get these documents but that is more money than Mr Murray has in his bank account. I know that because I look after Mr Murray's bank account for him because it is awkward for him because he cannot get to the bank in person because he is an anchorite so he has given me control over his account and he has allowed me to make decisions on his behalf because I have a power of attorney and that is something that Mr Welsby sorted out for Mr Murray when he became an anchorite. I mean when Mr Murray became an anchorite not when Mr Welsby became an anchorite because Mr Welsby is not an anchorite he is a lawyer but I think you know that already.

So Mr Murray will not be able to pay you 9,388 dollars because he only has just over 4,000 pounds in his bank account so I do not know what we are going to be able to do.

Maybe if you could charge Mr Murray a lower fee then we will be able to do something but if not then I do not know what we will do. You are a very expensive lawyer. I thought Mr Welsby charged a lot of money but you make him look cheap and that is saying something. It does seem as if you are asking for a lot of money just to get hold of a few bits of paper.

So let me know if you will be able to charge Mr Murray a lower fee because if not then I think Mr Murray will need to look for another lawyer one who charges less and maybe one who is not quite so easily upset and offended.

Thanking you,

Beaker

Thank you Mr Beaker,

First of all I want you to extend my warm greetings to Mr Murray. I want to really thank you Mr Beaker for making things moving faster in this documents requirements so that the documents will be procure by the lawyer and most importantly our inherited money transfer into Mr Murray account.

Well everything you sent to the lawyer which you copy me make big sense because even though we are claiming $15 million from the bank doesn't mean that the lawyer charge Mr Murray $9,388 for the documents with his representation fee altogether.

Anyway, I don't want to judge the lawyer as he explained the cost of each document there with his personal representation money altogether make that amount.

I want to believe that with God all things are possible and the lawyer will see reason with you to charge less. I will be waiting to hear from you again my good friend Mr Beaker and I do hope that we will get things done very quickly for the sake our money coming to Mr Murray bank account.

I really appreciate your daily communication because that is what this business needs at this point in time.

One thing I believe in life is that nothing good comes easily, and with God by our side we will overcome this documents procurement and the rest will be financial rest with big success.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray/Mr Beaker,

Your message received and understands in legal terms. Point of correction, all these unprintable names you're calling me is much uncalled for and not wanted in this assignments bestowed on me by the bank and by Mr Gilbert Murray too.

I understand the nature of law, and how it works to the benefit of any client that I ever represented. None has ever questioned my mental health or my responsibility to handle the job I was hired for.

As I promised you before, I shall do a nice job on your behalf and will make sure that your inheritance fund is release and transfer into your designated bank account in the United Kingdom as soon as I procure the aforementioned transferred documents from the court to the bank.

As officers of the court, all attorneys are obligated to maintain the highest ethical standard. In furtherance of this obligation, attorney is guided by a code of conduct, the code of professional responsibility, as adopted by the appellate division of state supreme court. Attorneys who violate the law or fail to abide by this code of conduct are subject to discipline, which may include admonishment, reprimand, censure, suspension or loss of his or her license to practice law.

As a lawyer I shall have full power and authority to act on your behalf so that your fund will be transferred directly into your account when the said documents is procured and submitted to the bank.

This power and authority that I have as your lawyer shall authorize the bank to do the needful on your behalf and sign the final release order of your fund to my client bank account.

Now back to the charges as you demand clarity, understand that these transferred documents is not going to be produce by me from my chamber, it is going to be obtain from the government competent Court of Law in Burkina Faso, and their prices are not forge by me but stipulated and fixed by the Court of Law. I am not acting inferiority complex to anybody, am acting base on the rule of law in Burkina Faso.

To make you understand that I am very human, kind and a humble lawyer and not harsh as Mr Gilbert Murray try to paint me, I am now offering you my power of attorney to work for you in the sense that you will pay the documentation fee of $5,688 USD, and immediately your inheritance fund is transfer into your account you will refund me with my representation charges of $3,700 including $25,000 for my job well done.

This is the only step I can take to help you get the documents procured so that your inheritance fund is release and transferred by the BOA.

I cannot reduce the prices of the documents because I am not the one who fixed them, but I can only use my power of attorney to work for you and when you receive your fund you will sincerely and wholeheartedly send my representation and job well job charges to me. Failure to do so after receiving your fund, you will face the consequence of violating agreement.

If you are satisfy with my kind gesture, then quickly put yourself together and send the required documentation fee to my bank account details at your disposal.

I want to complete and conclude this assignment bestowed on me to enable you satisfies and recommend me to any future foreign client when they need legal representation in Burkina Faso.

Remember my representation charge is $3,700 including $25,000 for my job well done, altogether will be $28,700 USD that you are going to pay me after you receive and confirm your inheritance fund of $15 million USD.

Failure to comply with this payment after you receive your fund will lead me to sue you to International Court of Law. I am a competent lawyer.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

Hello Mr Pascal,

It is me Beaker again.

Thank you for your kind gesture and for agreeing to only charge Mr Murray for getting the documents that he needs which will cost 5,688 dollars and for agreeing to not charge him any more like you were going to before. It was a bit hard for me to work it out because I get confused with money and especially when you are talking about dollars and pounds and things like that but I have worked out that is just about the amount of money that Mr Murray has in his bank account so I think that should be OK.

I am going to see Mr Murray later today to bring him his food and water and to take away his clothes for washing so I will check with Mr Murray when I see him to make sure he is OK with this and I will let you know. I think Mr Murray's business partner Mr Sule will be happy about this too because to be honest he has been getting a bit impatient about the delays you have caused so he will be happy when he finds out that you have stopped delaying things.

If Mr Murray is OK with this I will not be able to transfer any money until next week because I will have to travel into town to go to the bank and the bank is closed over the weekend and anyway the church does not allow us to have anything to do with money on Saturdays and Sundays because they are holy days so I hope that is OK.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray/Mr Beaker,

Thank you Mr Beaker.

I think Mr Murray must be happy with my kind gesture otherwise I have no other help I would render as far this documents is concern it is government and court money and not mine. The documents cannot be procured free from the Court of Law and they fixed the amount. It's government court fixed price to everyone who needed such documents.

To prove to Mr Murray that am not arrogant, not harsh as he was thinking in his mind, that was why I said let him pay for the documents fee after he successfully receive his $15 million USD in his account, he can now pay me my representation and job well done fee. I think that is human from the bottom of my heart.

This is kind gesture and most lawyers will not accept this, but I want to prove to Mr Gilbert Murray that I am human, kind and humble and that I can help him get his fund transfer to his account by procuring the needed transferred documents required by the bank by law.

I do not necessarily believe in money, I believe in humanity, mutual respect, kindness and love to one another.

I used to know Mr Sule Mohamed; he is a bank officer, the Bill and Exchange Manager of the Bank of Africa. If he is a business partner to Mr Murray I don't know about that.

Having said that, I want you to listen to me carefully, when you get to the bank for the transfer of the documents fee which is $5,688 USD to my account, the pounds must convert to US dollar before transferring it to my account in Burkina Faso otherwise your bank won't release it if you pay directly in pound sterling is that clear. The payment must be made in US dollar directly to my account.

After payment you scan the payment transfer slip and send it to me for confirmation and after 72 hours the money will reflect in my account.

As soon as I receive the documentation fee I will switch into action and proceed to the High Court of Justice and get the documents procure and tender them to the bank for the remittance of your inheritance fund into your account that is all.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I thank God that the lawyer is now cooperating very well with you in this transaction and I thank you Mr Beaker for letting me know the message you always sent to the lawyer. Thank you my good friend for your communication because communication matters in this business.

Hallelujah glory is to God almighty for touching the heart of the lawyer to accept to take only the documents money first. I really appreciate God for everything and thank my senior brother Mr Murray to have come and stand before the bank for this business.

$5,688 for the documents is not too big that Mr Murray cannot pay to the lawyer, is a small money compare to what is at stake $15 million, and compare to what we are going to gain in this business. Please be fast in finalizing everything and sending the money to the lawyer so that he can help us procure the documents from the court.

I am very happy now, in fact we can now see the face of this business and hopefully by next week everything about the documents might have been settle and finalize.

Hello Mr Sule,

It is me again Beaker and not Mr Murray because the church internet is still not working and Mr Murray was hoping that the verger would be able to fix it but the verger has gone missing and nobody has seen him for about a week and Mr Murray is getting very worried about everything again and he is pooing in his clothes even more now because of his worrying and that means lots more washing for me and I can't keep on top of it and that is making Mr Murray angry at me because he says it is my fault that he is having to sit around in dirty clothes but I can't wash his clothes fast enough to keep up with how often he is pooing himself.

And worse than that one of my monkeys got really sick on Friday. I have got three pet monkeys and I call them my tech bros and I call one of them Elon Musk because he looks like Elon Musk and I call one of them Jeff Bezos because he looks like Jeff Bezos and I call one of them Mark Zuckerberg because he looks like Mark Zuckerberg and I keep them in a cage in my kitchen with some laptops because of an experiment I am doing to see if you leave some monkeys for long enough they will type out the complete works of Shakespeare but it is not going very well at the moment because all they have done so far is type rubbish and poo on the laptops.

Well anyway Jeff Bezos got really ill on Friday and he started being sick everywhere and his poo went really runny and that got everywhere too and he wouldn't eat his bananas and he went all weird and limp and on Saturday I had to call out the vet because he looked so bad. And the vet came and the vet who is also called Mr Murray because there are a lot of Murrays around here because it is a very common name had a look at him to see what was wrong with him but Jeff Bezos didn't look very happy when Mr Murray the vet picked him up and he got all agitated so I said to Mr Murray the vet please put him down and Mr Murray the vet said OK I think that would be the best thing and he put Jeff Bezos back in the cage and he gave him an injection and it killed him and I said to Mr Murray the vet why did you do that and he said well you asked me to put him down and I said I didn't mean put him down like that and Mr Murray the vet said well how was I to know you didn't mean that and I was very upset and I had to bury Jeff Bezos in my back garden and now I only have two monkeys.

And then Mr Murray the vet gave me his bill and it was massive it was four hundred pounds and I didn't have four hundred pounds so I had to use Mr Murray's bank card to pay for it I mean Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet so now Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet doesn't have enough money left in his bank account to pay all the money that Mr Pascal is asking for so I don't know what to do.

I worked it out and I think Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet is about three hundred dollars short of what Mr Pascal is asking for so can you help Mr Sule? I thought if you sent me three hundred dollars then there would be enough money to send to Mr Pascal to get the documents and if you could do that I will pay you back when the big money comes through and gets into Mr Murray's bank account. I mean Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet. So will you do that Mr Sule because I don't know what else to do and I don't know what to say to Mr Pascal.

And on top of that Mr Murray the vet said he was going to report me to the RSPCA for keeping my monkeys in a dirty and unsuitable environment and for animal cruelty I said well I am doing the best I can but he wouldn't listen so I don't know what to do about that either because I don't want to lose the monkeys I have got left so have you got any ideas Mr Sule?

Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet says you are a very clever man and a very generous man so I am hoping you will be able to help me out here because I really don't know what to do.

Thanking you,

You once told me that the lawyer said you should pay the documentation fee which is $5,688, now when you minus $300 from $5,688, that gives you $5,388, that is what you are going to send the lawyer account from the United Kingdom so that the lawyer will get the transferred documents procure from the court and handle it over to the bank for immediate transferred of the $15 million into Mr Murray bank account in UK.

I have done my part and I think you can see everything is clear and direct now, so the ball is in your court to send the balance to the lawyer for the documents.

The lawyer will contact you tomorrow to inform you of the part payment of $300 that I sent to him today through Mr Dudu Diallo my driver.

When I woke up this morning I saw that one of my other monkeys Elon Musk had got sick in the night and there was green sick and sloppy poo all over his cage and he was lying there all limp and looking really bad so I had to call the vet again and get him to come and see Elon Musk even though I knew the vet would charge me a lot of money because I was afraid that Elon Musk might die and I am so sad that Jeff Bezos is dead and I couldn't bear to lose Elon Musk as well.

So Mr Murray came out today that is Mr Murray the vet not Mr Murray your business partner and he looked at Elon Musk and he said that he had a virus and that is what is making him poorly and he shouted at me for keeping the monkeys in what he said were filthy and cramped conditions and he said how can I expect the monkeys to be well if I keep them in such a small and dirty cage and he said it looked like I hadn't cleaned out the cage for weeks and I suppose that is true because whenever I open the cage to try to clean it out they just try to bite me and escape and I don't want them to bite me or escape so I haven't cleaned the cage for ages I just push bananas through the bars and take my fingers away very quickly so that they don't bite me and he said that I could expect to have a visit from the RSPCA in the very near future and that doesn't sound good.

Anyway Mr Murray the vet not Mr Murray your business partner gave Elon Musk an injection that he said might help and he told me off for keeping them in bad conditions and then he charged me four hundred pounds again because his call out fee is massive and I had to use Mr Murray's money that is Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet to pay the bill because I didn't have enough money myself so now that has left me with not enough money to pay Mr Pascal the lawyer again.

So now I am in a big mess and I don't know what to do and I am really sorry to have to ask you this Mr Sule but could you help me out again please by sending your driver Mr Diablo to pay Mr Pascal the lawyer another three hundred dollars because then there will be enough money in Mr Murray's account that is Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet to pay the rest of it?

On top of all this Mr Murray that is Mr Murray your business partner not Mr Murray the vet was very angry today because I was late bringing him his food and water and his clean clothes because of everything that had happened with Elon Musk and when I told him that there had been more delays with getting this money to him he was even more angry and I didn't give him the details because I thought he might be angry with me for using his money to pay for the vet bills and he is blaming it on Mr Pascal the lawyer and he called Mr Pascal some very nasty names like he called him an obstructive shitweasel which is not very nice and I have to say that Mr Pascal has always been very nice to me and I don't think he is an obstructive shitweasel at all whatever one of those is and Mr Murray has been pooing in his clothes even more because of his worrying and he said that the money should have been in his bank account by now and what is the lawyer playing at and he is getting very frustrated that he can't get in touch with you because of the internet problem and the verger is still missing and even his clean clothes smell of poo now and I told him not to worry and that I would sort it all out so I need to sort it all out but I really need your help again Mr Sule and I am very very sorry that this has happened and this is all getting too much for me and I am really worried that Elon Musk is going to die and I couldn't bear that and I think I am going to cry so please help me.

Thanking you,

Beaker

Thank you Mr Beaker,

I don't have another three hundred dollar to pay to the lawyer and if you cannot pay the lawyer the balance documents money that is to say you are just talking and written without input to the success of this $15 million coming to Mr Murray bank account.

We don't do international business like the way you are doing, you prioritizing dogs more than $15 million dollar. My friend, if you know you are just talking and not serious to complete this transaction with me so that the money will enter Mr Murray account you better stop wasting my precious time.

You have not even paid anything from the documents money charged by the lawyer, because if you have pay something you would have tell me too, still you are asking me to send another three hundred dollars to the lawyer.

What have you contributed so far only sending me message and talking about your dogs? In Africa we don't prioritize animals but people and what will give us real success not just animals.

Go ahead and send the money with you to the lawyer after that inform me how much is left then I will complete it here to the lawyer for the documents.

Without that you are just talking and making mouth I don't like that this is a big transaction that needs serious minded people to succeed.

If you cannot send what you have to the lawyer for the documents then you are not serious about this transaction. I am a banker I know what money can do and the important of money too.

Subject: WHY ARE YOU BEING SO HORRIBLE TO ME?

Sent: Wed, 11 Feb 2026 08:25

Hello Mr Sule,

It is me Beaker and I read your email and why are you being so horrible to me? Mr Murray said you were a decent man and a good businesss partner but you are not being decent or nice to me you are being nasty to me and I am very hurt.

You say that you don't have another three hundred dollars to send to Mr Pascal the lawyer but I can't believe that because you are supposed to be a high up manager in a big bank and you even have a personal driver so you must have enough money to be able to do that and you know you will get it back afterwards because Mr Murray will repay you because whatever his other faults he is a very honest man. I could believe it that you didn't have enough money if you were some sweaty little good for nothing nobody who throws away his money on booze or gambling or women or little boys or whatever it is you are into but you say that you are not that kind of person so you must have enough money to help us out here.

And why do you keep going on about dogs I don't have dogs I have monkeys I don't even like dogs so have you been drinking or have you just got confused?

And your email was confusing because first of all you said you didn't have the money and then you said that if I sent whatever I could to Mr Pascal the lawyer then you would make up the rest and both things can't be true so which is it Mr Sule?

If you can't help out or if you just won't help out by sending your driver Mr Diablo to Mr Pascal the lawyer with another three hundred dollars then we might as well give up on the whole thing because if you can't make up the difference then there is no point me sending what money Mr Murray has to Mr Pascal the lawyer because it won't be enough and Mr Pascal the lawyer won't be able to get the documents and Mr Murray's money will be wasted.

So put down the bottle of whatever it is you are drinking and sober up and get back to me right now and let me know whether or not you will be able to make up the difference which will be about three hundred dollars because if not I am just going to have to tell Mr Murray that we need to give up this business and that it is all your fault and he won't be pleased with you I can tell you that for nothing.

Thanking you,

Thank you Mr Beaker,

You are the one trying to pull my legs for what I have been able to organize for our both benefit. Firstly, you told me to arrange for $300 and send it to the lawyer and that is what is lacking from the lawyer documents fee which I gladly did as you instructed and thank God that the lawyer even sent you an email to confirm to you of the payment which you told me yesterday.

Now you came back again that I should send another three hundred dollars to the lawyer whereas you have not sent anything because if you do, you would have tell me that you have send some amount to the lawyer. So what quarantine (sic) are you showing to me that if I send another three hundred dollars to the lawyer you will complete the rest to the lawyer? No quarantine (sic) just writing and talking about monkeys as if monkeys is more than $15 million or human beings.

Did you know how many monkeys one hundred thousand dollars can buy from the market not to talk of fifteen million dollars? Yes, I respect you as Mr Murray assistant and you are making the business faster because of everyday communication and I appreciate that from the bottom of my heart, but that is not enough to finalize this transferred into Murray bank account if the documents is not procure from the court the money would not be release and transfer by the Bank of Africa.

If I have known Mr Murray won't be serious to claim this money into his account I would not have contacted him for the first place, yes because this business matter to me and my future riches lies on it. I want you to know that I am a reasonable man and responsible as well, I don't hide my feelings just to keep a friend, I speak out when necessary. Mr Gilbert Murray is not doing what I expected from him at all and I am not happy about it.

In a real businessmanship character, when you say something you do it that is what man is all about, doing things accordingly and in a respectful manner no matter the status or color differences. You told me the lawyer ask for $5,688 for the documents which is kind enough from the lawyer, and you told me that it is only three hundred dollars that is lacking behind to complete the $5,688 and that I should try to arrange for it which I quickly sent that amount to the lawyer, now you came back again yesterday saying you are still lacking three hundred dollars while you have not show any effort of finalizing the deal. Talk is cheap my friend doing what you say make you a man not the quality of English you write or speak.

To be candid with you what you suppose to do is that you will send the amount that you have to the lawyer and tell me this is what is lacking then I will complete it to the lawyer through my driver as I did before.

None you have done, but threatening me you want to abandon the business, well if you choose to abandon the business because I tell you the truth no problem, only one thing that pains me is that my dreams of becoming rich through this $15 million coming to Mr Murray account will be on hold for now.

Listen to me Mr Beaker, sending another three hundred dollars to the lawyer is nothing for me, I have money but not too rich because of the poor salary we earned in Africa but three hundred dollars will never be my problem the problem is your sincerity and seriousness to get things done in real time.

Let me know how much you can be able to send to the lawyer and send it and tell me what is remaining than saying one thing every day without success.

I am not horrible to you am telling you the truth that the whole world is lacking today. The world is lacking truth in the sense that country wage war against another, whereas the war can be settle if they want, but some country feel more powerful than others and that they impose their will on others which is why problem, war everywhere today.

Hello Mr Sule,

Thank you for clearing things up. Now that I know that you will pay Mr Pascal the difference I will go to the bank this afternoon and make the payment from Mr Murray's bank account to the lawyer and I will send him a receipt and I will let you know how much you will have to pay the lawyer to make up the difference and if you can send your driver Mr Diablo to the lawyer as soon as possible after that then hopefully Mr Pascal the lawyer will be able to get the documents very quickly.

I am sorry if I was a bit rude in my last email but you confused me and I care about my monkeys very much and I know I could buy new monkeys but they would not be the same. Elon Musk is still looking very ill and he is refusing to eat any bananas but at least Mark Zuckerberg is still looking alright.

I will go and see Mr Murray as soon as I have been to the bank to tell him that I have paid Mr Pascal the lawyer and he will be happy that things are back on track again and that will be good because I know that he worries a lot and that makes him ill and if I'm not spending my time cleaning up monkey poo I'm cleaning up Mr Murray's poo and I am getting sick of it so I want him to stop worrying so that he stops pooing in his clothes because I need a break.

I will be getting a bit of a break this weekend actually because Mr Murray has asked me to go to the International Anchorite and Hermit Conference this weekend because obviously he cannot go himself so he has asked me to go on his behalf and so I will be away from Saturday and I will be back next Wednesday and hopefully by then we will have had the good news that Mr Pascal the lawyer has managed to get the documents and that the money has been transferred into Mr Murray's account.

The vicar has promised to look after Mr Murray while I am away so I hope he has a good washing machine and a strong stomach.

I never say I will not pay the balance I will gladly pay when you have send whatever you have to Mr Pascal account and show me prove so that I will send Mr Dudu Diallo my driver to go to the lawyer office and cash him the balance that is all.

I think with this arrangement we will be able to solve this documents fee to the lawyer and the lawyer will be able to procure the documents and submit to the bank for the transferred of the $15 million into Mr Murray bank account that is all nothing to worry about here this is correct and simple arrangement.

Yes you will buy as many as Monkeys you want we are talking of receiving $15 million dollars is not a small money and we need to get things done this very week so that everything will be clear on time.

$300 is not my problem and is not a problem for me at all but the reality lies in your hand because you are the one direct person dealings with the lawyer you are the one the money is coming to his account so you have to show more active and serious than me my good friend.

I don't want to hear any negative news again from you but positive and successful transfer of the documents money to the lawyer account and tell me whatever balance to complete it here by myself through Dudu Diallo to the lawyer that is all Mr Beaker.

Sorry for the delay but it has been a difficult few days and I have been to the bank this afternoon and I have transferred money to you from Mr Murray's bank account. I have transferred $4,884.19 to you and I know that is not the full amount that you asked for but it is all that Mr Murray had in his account after I had to pay the vet twice this week and Mr Murray's business partner Mr Sule has promised to send his driver round to you with the rest of the money so you should get it very soon.

I have attached a copy of the payment slip for you and could you please send me a receipt for the money and could you then start work to get hold of the documents that Mr Murray needs and could you please let me know how long it will take to get everything sorted because Mr Murray is very keen to get things done as quickly as possible and to get his inheritance money transferred to him especially now that he doesn't have any more money in his bank account.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray/Mr Beaker,

I have received the transfer slip you sent to me amount $4,884.19, balance $503.81 USD.

According to the payment slip that you sent to me which stated that the money will take up to 5 working days before it will reflect into my account in Burkina Faso.

That will be as from next Tuesday evening before the money will arrive into my account. I will be waiting to receive the balance of $508.81 USD from your partner as you rightly said.

Be inform that I will send you the receipt of the payment immediately I cash the money from my account as from Tuesday next week because I must confirm what I am issuing receipt for first in accordance with the law governing payment in Burkina Faso.

Be rest assure that I am going to get the aforementioned transferred documents ready next week as soon as I receive the $4,884.19 that you sent to my account is that clear.

I am a lawyer I work diligently and accordance with the law so as to get the best result in what I am doing.

As for the inheritance fund of Mr Gilbert Murray, there is no problem at all as far I am the one representing him here in Burkina Faso, after I procure the documents and submit them to the bank next week and immediately the bank will release and transfer his inheritance fund of $15 million USD into his designated bank account in the United Kingdom.

There is no fear about that the fund belongs to he and nobody as far Burkina Faso is concern that can deny him from receiving it hence he has paid for the documents.

The only delay now is for the money that you sent $4,884.19 USD to reflect in my account as quickly as possible plus the balance $503.81 USD which you said will be pay by your partner.

I will make sure that next week Mr Murray receives his inheritance fund of $15 million into his account that is all. Consider everything is done just waiting for the money you sent to enter my account next week.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I seal my authorization dully (sic) authenticated.

Hello Mr Sule,

It is me Beaker again. Thank you for sending your driver Mr Diablo to give Mr Pascal the lawyer the balance of the money that I could not send to Mr Pascal because I had spent it on vet bills for my sick monkeys. Mr Pascal the lawyer has sent me a receipt for the money which was nice of him.

Mr Murray was very happy when I saw him today and told him how well everything was going and he told me that he had been praying every day for the success of this business and he said his prayers were being answered and he praised the Great Prophet Noel which was nice but to be honest I think he should have been praising me and you for getting things moving and he said he was looking forward to the money getting into his bank account so that he can donate it to the church and he said the vicar will be very happy to when he tells him that he can expect all this money soon.

I hope the money gets into Mr Murray's bank account very soon too because Mr Murray has no money left in his account now and if the money doesn't get into his account by the end of the month he won't be able to pay me and I won't be able to buy any more bananas for my monkeys.

Talking of my monkeys I had a bit of a scare early this morning because someone from the RSPCA knocked on my door and he said that the vet had reported that I was keeping monkeys in unsuitable conditions and he demanded to see my monkeys and I didn't want to show him but he barged past me into the house and into the kitchen where I keep the monkey cages. And when he saw the monkeys he told me that he was going to have to take them away because I was keeping them in a cage that was far too small and in filthy conditions and they obviously were not well and he said he was going to prosecute me for animal cruelty offences and I didn't want him to take my monkeys away and I got very upset and we had a big argument and he started to pick up the monkey cage to take it away and I told him to put it down and he said no and I got very angry and I tried to stop him and we had a bit of a struggle and then I picked up my big wooden breadboard and I swung it at him and it hit him on the head and there was a big crack sound and he fell down and he didn't get up again and I didn't mean to hurt him but he was going to take away my monkeys and nobody comes between me and my monkeys and it was his fault really for making me angry because I don't find it easy to control my anger and when I get angry I sometimes do things without thinking and I have always been like that.

Anyway when I had calmed down a bit I dragged him out of the kitchen into the back garden and I buried him next to Jeff Bezos but I don't think I will be making a cross for him I might lay a patio there instead.

Looking on the bright side he came to my house in a very nice van which is nearly new and my car is very old and it doesn't work sometimes so I took his keys out of his pocket and now I have a nice van to use and it has even got animal cages in the back so I will be able to take my monkeys out in the van and they will like that and I will go out this afternoon and paint over the RSPCA lettering on the side of the van with some paint from my shed.

Anyway Mr Murray asked me to send you his best wishes so I am sending them to you now and there you are now you have them.

Dear Mr Beaker,

Thank you my good friend for this wonderful work we had done together.

Yes I have sent the balance $503.81 to the lawyer since morning through Dudu Diallo, now that everything concerning the documents money has been paid I hope you people will be sincere and truthful enough and inform me when the $15 million enter Mr Murray account because immediately the lawyer procure the documents the bank will transferred the money to Mr Murray account.

Please let me know when the lawyer contact you concerning the procurement of the documents and more importantly when the $15 million is transfer to your account so that I will resign from the bank and come to UK.

Anyway, am very sorry for the incident that happened between you and the man who barged past you into your house and started taking your monkeys away, he has no right to do that at all the monkeys belongs to you and nobody should control you over your monkeys. Well that is how his destiny ends and nobody should be blame for that it is the man himself. Don't worry you will have enough money soon after this $15 million enter Mr Murray account.

Now I want you to tell Mr Murray to send me an official Invitation Letter which I will use to get the United Kingdom Visa here from the Embassy.

I thank God that the documents money has been paid to the lawyer and the lawyer will go and procure the documents for the transfer. So, I need an invitation letter from Mr Murray to enable me get the visa here in Burkina Faso, you know without visa I cannot travel to UK.

By the way, while is the payment slip you sent to the lawyer which you also send a copy to me state that it will take up to 5 working days before the money will reflect to Mr Pascal the lawyer account.

I hope the money was paid successfully and correctly because every international transfer suppose to take 3 working days which is 72 hours. I am a banker and know how money move from one country to another just three official workings days but the slip you sent indicate five working days.

Anyway, that is not a problem in as much as you have sent the money to the lawyer account it must surely reflect so that the lawyer can procure and get the documents ready.

I am saying this because I want everything to be faster and move smoothly so that before 20th the $15 million suppose to enter and arrive into Mr Murray bank account in UK.

Tell Mr Murray that before 20th of this month the money will gets into his account, month ending is too far okay. the money will be transfer to his account before 20th, once the lawyer procure the documents and submit them to the bank the transfer commence immediately.

I wait to hear from you as soon as you can.

I am looking forward to meeting you and Mr Murray is looking forward to meeting you and I am looking forward to introducing you to Mark Zuckerberg and Elon Musk that is if Elon Musk is still alive by the time you come to this country because he is still not well and he is still vomiting up his bananas and doing very sloppy poo so I am keeping my fingers crossed.

You said you want Mr Murray to write you a letter inviting you to this country. Could you give me some idea of what you would like the letter to say then I will be able to tell Mr Murray and he will be able to write one and we can get it sent to you?

I am leaving later today to go to the International Anchorite and Hermit Conference on Mr Murray's behalf so I will be away until next Wednesday and when I get back the money I sent should have reached Mr Pascal the lawyer's account so maybe next Wednesday he will be able to get the documents from the court I do hope so.

Now I have got a new van with animal cages in the back I am taking my monkeys with me because I think the break might do them good because a change is as good as a rest.

So let me know about the letter and I will let Mr Murray know when I get back and we will get a letter to you and I hope you have a nice weekend with your family.

It is me Beaker again. I am back from the International Anchorite and Hermit Conference. It was rubbish to be honest with you a complete waste of time because there was pretty much nobody there and the few people who were there that I tried to get talking to were nutters who didn't want to speak to anyone. Maybe setting up a conference for anchorites and hermits wasn't such a good idea. And one of my monkeys the one called Elon Musk died while I was at the conference so that made me really sad because now I only have Mark Zuckerberg and he is sad too now because his two tech bro monkey pals have both died and I think he is lonely.

Anyway you should have got Mr Murray's money by now so could you let me know when you think the fifteen million dollars will be transferred into Mr Murray's bank account so that I can let Mr Murray know? Hopefully it will not be long now provided you get on with stuff and don't delay things.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Praise be to the Great Prophet Noel: the church's internet connection is working again! When I explained my connection issues to Reverend Murray last weekend, he acted at once and arranged for a telecommunications engineer to come out and address the issues that were preventing me from accessing the internet, and he has just fixed the connection.

It has been so difficult for me, not to have been able to keep in contact with you and Mr Okoh for the past few weeks. I trust that Mr Beaker has done an excellent job of keeping things on track? He tells me that things are moving forward smoothly and that I can expect to receive the money in my bank account within days. Once again, praise be to the Great Prophet Noel!

Mr Beaker tells me that you would like me to write a letter of invitation for you, inviting you to come to this country as soon as the money has been transferred into my bank account. Of course, my dear fellow. Simply let me know to whom the letter should be addressed and what you would like me to write in it, and I will compose a suitable missive for you.

On a less positive note, I discovered yesterday from Reverend Murray why the verger has not been seen recently. Apparently he has been recalled to Pentonville for breaking the terms of his early release: someone called the police and accused him of child grooming offences. I am sure there must be some mistake: he is such a pleasant fellow.

I actually had a visit from a nice young police constable yesterday, asking me if I had any knowledge of what the verger had been up to. I hope you do not mind, Mr Mohamed, but as I was talking to the police officer through the squint, I mentioned in passing that you had offered to fund the activities of the verger and his friends. The police officer's ears pricked up when I told him this, and when I explained that you were soon hoping to visit the UK, he said that he would be extremely keen to interview you about this matter as soon as you arrived. Please do not worry yourself, Mr Mohamed: I assured the police constable that as far as I was aware, you had, at best, a peripheral involvement in the verger's alleged grooming gang.

To be on the safe side, it may be worth you deleting any potentially incriminating images from your electronic devices before you visit the UK. And may I also suggest that you pray to the Great Prophet Noel for help with suppressing the unnatural urges that must have prompted you to attempt to involve yourself in the verger's somewhat deviant activities? If you pray, I promise you that He will listen.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Thank you for message. Until the lawyer receives the money your assistant Mr Beaker sent and procure the documents and submit it to the bank I have no further information to give you.

Thank God your wi-fi connection is working very well now if it has not been working before as you always said.

Trust is the backbone of every successful businessman ship, no pretend, just pure sincerely and trustworthy.

I believe you know that in every country or countries there are good and bad even in your United Kingdom. Don't spoil my chance of getting rich if you don't trust yourself.

Mr Murray, am not a criminal, I have nothing to worry about or to delete from my system everything I does with you is real, genuine and perfect, it is only you and your assistant Mr Beaker that are messing things up for the reason best known to you both.

Don't jeopardize my chances of becoming very rich if you don't believe stop and don't tarnish anybody image.

My respect for you still remains until you prove me otherwise.

Thank you and have a great day.

Dear Mr Okoh,

As you can see, my internet connection is now working once more. Praise be to the Great Prophet Noel, and to the telecommunications engineer who answered my prayers on His behalf.

Mr Beaker tells me that he transferred the money you required in order to obtain the necessary documentation last week, and that by now you should be busily engaged in procuring the documents from the court. I hope that this is the case.

If you do not mind me saying so, Mr Okoh, your communication has been somewhat less than optimal since Mr Beaker transferred that money to you. Whilst I am sure that your legal expertise is second to none, perhaps your communication skills could do with a bit of a polish.

With that in mind, if you do not mind taking a moment away from your important legal work - or whatever it is that you are finding to occupy your time - I would very much appreciate it if you could blow the remains of your breakfast away from your dusty computer keyboard and send me an email to inform me of the progress you are making. Is it indeed the case that I can expect the $15 million to be transferred into my bank account within days? I would also appreciate it if you could send me a receipt for the money that Mr Beaker transferred to you.

Snap to it, Mr Okoh. The Great Prophet Noel hates a shirker. And so do I.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray/Mr Beaker,

I have not received the money your Beaker sent to my account. I have no receipt to issue you again until I receive and confirm the money in my account.

I am a competent and responsible and respected lawyer in Burkina Faso; I work with honest people not imposter. So, you think you can collaborate with Beaker and send fake forged payment receipts to me, an accredited and competent lawyer. That is insult from the pit of hell.

If you need your inheritance fund to be transfer into your account you better send the required fee to me for the documentations, otherwise discontinue contacting me my time is so precious and important and not entertain drama.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I seal my authorization dully (sic) authenticated.

Mr Okoh,

Having just read the email that you sent me earlier today, I am in shock. I have read out the email to Mr Beaker, and he too is shocked. How dare you accuse Mr Beaker of sending you a "fake forged payment receipt"? I trust Mr Beaker implicitly, and I can state with complete certainty that the payment receipt that Mr Beaker sent you is every bit as genuine as any of the documents you have sent me since the start of this business.

Do you realise that in accusing Mr Beaker and me of sending you forged documents, you are not only besmirching the good names of two of Gypping in the Marsh's most well-respected residents - well, at least one of us is well-respected - but that you are libelling us both? Are you cognisant of the libel laws in the United Kingdom, Mr Okoh? I have a good mind to engage the services of the eminent Welsby when he completes his current case and sue you for libel. And Welsby has never been known to lose a case.

Now stop whinging like a small toddler who has lost his dummy and get to work, Mr Okoh. My inheritance is at stake here and I have had enough of your childish, petulant manner and your endless delays. Take the money that Mr Beaker transferred to you and use it to obtain the documentation we need.

I shall pray for the Great Prophet Noel to knock some sense into your thick skull with His fist of righteousness.

Attn: Mr Gilbert Murray,

International payment transfer bank to bank doesn't take more than 72 hours, why is it that till date I have not received the money Mr Beaker sent to my account?

Go back to your bank where the money was sent and verify there is something wrong with the payment there. I have not received till now; I just call my bank manager to check such money is not in my account at all. I don't intend to besmirch your name or tarnish anyone reputation, it is just what it is I have not received the MONEY Mr Beaker sent.

I am not petulant Mr Murray, am reasonable and as respected lawyer but the money has not enter my account that is why I am referring you to the bank Mr Beaker made the payment and check whether the bank release the money into my account or not.

The problem is from your side I have not receive, I went to my bank on Monday no such money, early morning today I call my bank manager to check my account such payment is not there?

That was why I concluded that Mr Beaker didn't sent the money or sent your bank withhold the payment and not release internationally.

I certainly enjoyed working on your behalf to defend your rights and obligations.

I seal my authorization dully (sic) authenticated.

Dear Mr Okoh,

Please forgive me: I did not appreciate the problems you have been experiencing in attempting to access the money that Mr Beaker transferred to you.

Grace Bros is rather a traditional bank. Perhaps they are not completely up to date with the latest banking innovations.

Do not despair, Mr Okoh. I shall send Mr Beaker to the bank first thing tomorrow morning in an attempt to get to the bottom of this problem.

I will get back to you tomorrow as soon as he returns with more information.

Sent: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 12:17

Dear Mr Okoh,

I sent Mr Beaker to the bank first thing this morning and instructed him to ascertain why you were unable to access the money that he had transferred to you.

Mr Beaker spoke to Mr Rumbold, the bank manager, and explained the situation. Mr Rumbold looked into the matter and discovered that Mr Beaker's payment to you had been held up by some technical issues that are apparently currently affecting international financial computing networks. It appears to be something to do with a computer virus. I am afraid that my technical knowledge of such things is not great.

However, I am happy to report that Mr Rumbold was able to provide Mr Beaker with a solution to the problem. He provided Mr Beaker with the telephone number of Grace Bros' International Exchange department. He explained that you should go to your bank and ask your bank manager to call the number. If your bank manager gives full details of the bank transfer - as given on the payment receipt - to Grace Bros' International Exchange department, and explains that the payment has been blocked thanks to issues with the 'Peacock' virus, Grace Bros will be able to release the payment and complete the transfer. Note that your bank manager will need to provide Grace Bros' International Exchange department with something called his 'Thornton' code, to prove his identity. Apparently he will know what this is.

Here is the number your bank manager needs to call to unblock the transfer: +44 1522 53xxxx. I am sure that if your bank manager explains the situation to the person on the phone, they will be able to make sure that you get what is coming to you.

Praise be to the Great Prophet Noel that Mr Beaker has managed to find a solution to our problem!

I would suggest that you scurry off to the bank this afternoon, Mr Okoh. If we are lucky, we will manage to get things moving before the banks close for the weekend. Kindly update me on your progress.

Warmest regards,

Gilbert Murray

Sent: Fri, 20 Feb 2026 13:45

Thank you Mr Murray,

I am completely ashamed to be hearing this from you that the money you authorized sending to the lawyer has not gotten to the lawyer bank account till now after more than six days of payment.

This is indeed the greatest lesson I am learning from my good friend and a partner who we decided together to claim this inherited money into your account.

How do you want the lawyer to see you now, to see you as a genuine person or what? By the way, why is it that Mr Beaker cannot transfer money successfully to foreign account without any problem on the way? Or are you taking this transaction for granted because so many things are happening in this world you don't take everybody as the same there are real genuine people why there are bad also.

Mr Murray, are you aware that this transaction has been placed on Google in internet for the whole world to see what we are doing? In all indication you authorized it and Mr Beaker knows about it that your people place this transaction on internet as fraud. I wanted you to come out opening but you are playing game with me, and I want to tell you now that if you have ever done anything fraud business before just remove your mind from there this very one I introduce to you is genuine, real and perfect.

It will be the highest mistake you will make if you count this transaction as fraudulent because I cannot do such thing and I don't even want to hear such thing is existing at all.

My late parents were military retired officers before their sudden death with the terrorist, they teaches me how to be real, genuine and disciplined in the midst of nothing or abundance.

How dare you placed this transaction in the internet in Google as fraud, when you know full well that this business is real, genuine and the bank is waiting for the documents to transfer the money into your account. I make researched and find out that you have placed this transaction as fraud in Google. If you deny it I will prove it to you right away.

I am disappointed in you my friend; this is not what I expected from you at all. Thank God the bank has not discovered it, and the lawyer has not discover it but as me is involved because of the money at stake I have searched to see why things are delaying I find out what is happening there.

Even the payment receipt you sent to the lawyer which Mr Beaker sent me a copy also placed in the internet as fake payment receipt. Why are you doing all this unwanted things to me Mr Murray when I was hoping that we can secure this $15 million into your account together without two ears hearing it.

Now place your account number with your bank swift code in the payment receipt you sent to the lawyer which Mr Beaker sent me a copy and Google it you will see everything there.

If you know you didn't have trust and believe in this business why did you allowed me to sent $801.81 to the lawyer as part payment for the documents required by the bank.

I don't like someone taking me granted and seeing me as fools especially the person I trusted so much. I wait for your reply and explain why all these is happening right in your eyes.

If you know what is good as respected person that you are, you better send to the lawyer the balance money so that the lawyer will help us to procure the documents required for the transfer of our inheritance money into your account and stop all this trash because nobody is frauding you but you are misleds by your close associates. Don't pretend you don't know what is happening.

Dear Mr Mohamed,

Goodness me, you are correct: details of our confidential business transaction are all over the internet! How on Noel's green earth can this have happened? Was this perhaps your doing, Mr Mohamed?

What is more, details of our transaction appear to have been uploaded to a website that specialises in confounding gullible and greedy advance fee fraudsters for the amusement of its readers. Having examined the website briefly, it appears that this transaction is not the only one to appear on the website; many, many more similar business transactions appear to be detailed there as well.

I suppose I can see why this particular transaction has made its way onto this website: it does share a large number of similarities with the other transactions that are detailed there. To start with, there is the fantastically wealthy foreign national (Mr Seoungjae) who has died in a tragic accident, leaving no friends or family to claim his money. Then there is the so-called "bank manager" (this is you, Mr Mohamed) who has seemingly thought of a foolproof way of claiming the dead person's money for himself, requiring only the assistance of a complete stranger whom he has contacted out of the blue (me). To top it all, there is the so-called "lawyer" (Mr Okoh) who promises to be able to move the business transaction forward, provided that the complete stranger (me again) transfers a large amount of money to him in advance for his services.

You have to admit, Mr Mohamed, this whole thing reeks of advance fee fraud. It would be a fool indeed who did not realise this.

Shame on you, Mr Mohamed. Shame on you. But no matter; the Great Prophet Noel will ensure that you will pay for your sins in the next life. As for me, I am prepared to be magnanimous and to forgive you for conspiring with Mr Okoh in attempting to defraud me of thousands of dollars, presumably so that you could fritter away the money on fast cars, mobile phones, strong drink and loose women... or on procuring the services of vulnerable young children, if your despicable proclivities are indeed similar to those of Saint Bodkins' unfortunate verger.

Leaving that to one side, I am hoping that you will still be able to come and visit me here in the UK in the near future. With that in mind, here is some suggested wording for the letter of invitation you requested. Please review it and let me know your thoughts. If you consider it to be suitable, I will send you a proper copy for you to forward on to the British High Commission in Accra, Ghana - which I believe is the closest one to you:

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to request that you provide my business associate, Mr Sule Mohamed, with a visa to enable him to visit me here in the United Kingdom.

I would like Mr Mohamed to visit me so that he can take part in this year's 'Gypping in the Marsh Village Idiot' competition, which I think he has an excellent chance of winning. I would also like him to be able to explain to me in person exactly how he thinks he will be able to make a living as an internet scammer, when he has proven himself to be a uniquely gullible individual with an IQ considerably smaller than his shoe size.

I would appreciate it if you could also provide a visa to Mr Pascal Okoh, who claims somewhat unfeasibly to be a lawyer, as a vacancy has opened up in the village for a goatherd - a job for which I think Mr Okoh's unique skillset would render him entirely suitable.

Yours faithfully,

Dear Mr Murray,

I stop to write you not because what you said about me is true but because you are the one placing all the transactions you had done with various people on the website for your greedy and selfish welfare and reason best known to you.

Your so-called assistant Beaker is the worst person I have ever seen in my entire life together with your cunning British way of doing things.

You thought you are clever by putting people and the transaction you willing enter with people on the website just to justify that you are pure and serving God.

There is nothing like advance fee fraud here in what I am doing with you it is only in your mind that is happening.

You are not pure my friend, I only pity you for losing this great opportunity nobody needs your money rather I wanted to brings this $15 million into your account for both benefit.

You have been doing this to so many people, after they entrust transaction in your hand you will go and placed them on the internet website to justify your holiness, whereas you are not. I realized this long ago I wanted to see how you will end up eventually you proved who you truly are.

My name together with our accredited bank lawyer has never appears on the internet website if not you that placed it there.

The lawyer is well known and respected in Burkina Faso; oh I can see why you were requested for the lawyer credentials so that you can place all his qualification there on the website.

If I may ask you Mr Murray why are you doing these things and what are you gaining from such dastardly act for tarnishing people reputation.

You will pay for wasting this big opportunity just hide your face I don't want to hear anything from you again you are fake. I don't trust you again at all.

Subject: A prophetic vision from the Great Prophet Noel

Sent: Mon, 23 Feb 2026 08:58

Dear Mr Mohamed,

It was delightful to hear back from you. Thank you so much for taking the time to write to me again. Truly, you brightened up my day... and given the small size of the window in my anchorhold and the dimness of the lighting in here, I welcome anything that brightens up my day. I should have asked Reverend Murray to install some mood lighting when he renovated the anchorhold for me.

Now then, I must chide you for what you wrote about my assistant, Mr Beaker. What on earth has Mr Beaker done to warrant being called "the worst person I have ever seen in my entire life"? Granted, you are probably not the first person to have said that about Mr Beaker - and if you were ever to meet him in person, you might think even worse of him - but at least his heart is in the right place and he has good intentions. Unlike some others I could mention, were I not such a charitable, forgiving fellow.

Anyway, I wanted to respond to your email to let you know about another prophetic vision I have had. This one involved you, Mr Okoh, and the Great Prophet Noel.

In my dream, I was walking along a footpath when a large dog appeared directly in front of me. It stopped in its tracks, crouched down, and produced two unfeasibly huge turds from its crinkly bottom. Having defacated in front of me, it disappeared into the undergrowth.

Then, as if by magic, the Great Prophet Noel appeared, with a golden lavatory by His side. He pointed at the two gigantic, steaming turds.

"Behold these colossal turds and know their names," intoned the Great Prophet Noel. "One turd is Mohamed Sule and the other is Pascal Okoh".

I looked closely at the turds and I understood that this was indeed the truth: the colossal turds were indeed you and Mr Okoh, and you and Mr Okoh were indeed the colossal turds.

"Behold the stench of their corruption," intoned the Great Prophet Noel. "Does it not appal and overwhelm you?"

Again, I looked closely at the turds and I understood that this was indeed the truth: the stench of your corruption was indeed both appalling and overwhelming, and I was indeed both appalled and overwhelmed by the stench of your corruption. It made Beaker's breath smell like roses in comparison. And believe me, that is saying something.

"Are these fetid, steaming turds not the most enormous shits that you have ever seen?" asked the Great Prophet Noel.

Once more, I looked closely at the turds and I understood that this was indeed the truth: the fetid, steaming turds - you and Mr Okoh - were indeed the most enormous shits that I have ever seen, and the most enormous shits that I have ever seen were indeed you and Mr Okoh.

At that point, the Great Prophet Noel produced a golden shovel from His robes. He scooped up the noxious turds and dropped them into the golden toilet.

"Now flush," He commanded.

I did as He asked, and flushed the toilet. We both stood and watched as the enormous, noisesome, pestilent turds - you and Mr Okoh - were flushed away, leaving behind a blissful feeling of peace and serenity, a perfectly clean toilet bowl, and a lingering scent of fresh pine needles.

At that point I awoke. As soon as I had changed my hairshirt and cleaned myself up as best I could - you are of course aware of my rather unfortunate recurring problem - I wrote down the details of my vision, adding it to my Revelations of Divine Lavs manuscript. The book is coming along nicely, by the way. When it is complete, I am planning to send a copy to an old friend of mine: Julian of Norwich. I am sure that she will appreciate it.

You advised me to repent, Mr Mohamed. I really do not think that it is I who needs to repent. Think on, Mr Mohamed: eternity truly is a very long time indeed, and one would not wish to spend it being tormented in the fiery pits of Hell. But that is your choice, my dear fellow.

Warmest regards (although not quite as warm as the fires of Hell),

Gilbert Murray
