The World's Second Oldest Man

Dear Sir,

I know you will be surprised to read from me, but please consider this as a request from a family i dire need of assistance.First, I must introduc myself. I a MR. JOHN BOGANI. from Angola. I am the first and only son of BRIGADIER BOGANI..JONES. I am presently resident in South Africa. I got your contact address from a business directory in Johannesburg Chamber of commerce and Industry. On behalf of my widowed mother MRS. ELIZABETH BOGANI. I desided to solicit for your assistance to transfer the sum of US$21.5 MILLION( TWENTY ONE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)inherited from my late father, into your personal/ company's account. Before my fathers' death, he was a Brigadier in charge of Arms and Ammunation procurement for the Angola Army. In his WILL, he specifically drew my attention to the said sum of money which he deposited in a safe box of a private Security Company in Johannesburg- South Africa in a treasure box, fully documented in my name.

IN FACT MY FATHER SAID AND I QUOTE 'MY BELOVED SON, I WISH TO DRAW YOUR ATTENTION TO US$21.5 MILLION . I DEPOSITED THE BOX CONTAINING THIS MONEY IN A SECURITY COMPANY IN JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA. DURING THE WAR, I WAS VERY DEDICATED AND OFFICERS AND GOVERNMENT FUNCTIONARIES WERE BUSSY HELPING THEMSELVES WITH GOVERNMENT FUNDS AND PROPERTIES AND SENDING THEM TO FOREIGN COUNTRIES. DUE TO THIS, WHEN I AND MY FORMER SPECIAL ADVISOR TO THE PRESIDENT WERE ASSIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT (EDUARDO SANTOS) TO PURCHASE ARMS IN SOUTH AFRICA, WE SAW THIS AS A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY AND DIVERTED THE MONEY AND DIVIDED IT. i GOT A TOTAL SUM OF US$21.5 MILLION. IN CASE OF MY ABSENCE ON EARTH, AS A RESULT OF DEATH ONLY, YOU SHOULD SOLICIT FOR THE FUND FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES.'

>From the above, you will understand that the lives and future of my family depens on this money, as such I will be grateful if you can assist us. We are now living in South Africa as political Asylum seekers and financial laws and regulation of the Republic of South Africa do not permit us financial rights to such huge sum of money. In view of this, I cannot invest this fund in South africa, hence i am prepared to offer you 20% of the total fund, while 10% will be set aside for local and international expenses and 70% will be for my family and me.

Finally, modalities on howthe transfer will be bone will be conveyed to you once we have established trust and confidence between ourselves. Please treat this matter as very urgent. Best regards,

JOHN BOGANI.

I will be happy to assist you. Please let me know how we can establish trust and confidence between us!!! I was so excited by your letter that I couldn't concentrate and lost in the last round of the biscuit game tournament at the VFW hall last night. Jeepers, what a mess. Still, at my age, I'm happy to still be competing.

I have included picture of my passport so you can see that I am who I say I am. Maybe this will help establish trust and confidence between us? It is a little old, but it is a really good picture of me. My grandson was a bit suspicious of your e-mail and didn't want me to reply, but I got the paperboy to copy it into the computer for me. So please don't correspond with my grandson because if he finds out he will lock me in the basement again.

Blessings,

Please father contact him through telephone as soon as possible and get back to me. Once again thank you so much for your effort towards our life and that of this transaction.

Best regards,

Mr. John (for the family)

John Bogani told me I should contact you regarding some help he needs with a delicate situation in South Africa. He has made me his blood father. Does this give me some sort of legal status in South Africa? If John should come to an untimely end, would I be his beneficiary?

In any case, he told me to call you but I am unable to use the telephone because my hearing is very bad. Given my age, my circulation is very bad and my ears fell off a few years ago due to gangrene. Luckily none of the important parts have fallen off, if you know what I mean! I have taught my family to stomp in Morse code, and I can understand them when I feel the vibrations through the floor. Do you know Morse code?

If John didn't tell you, please don't contact my grandson. He is very suspicious, and if he found out I was e-mailing you he would surely chain Mr. Winky to the schnauzer.

Your good friend,

I am in receipt of your mail and the contents well noted. With regards to John request,I wish to explain to you the areas they need your help and also let know the procedures of the transaction.

They contacted you for help as their foreign partner to assist them in the transfering of the outstanding fund out of South Africa to your nominated account in your country and also help they in the investment of the money outside South Africa, this is due to their present status as an asylum seeker which prohibits them from investing the money here in South Africa or even to operate a bank account.You will represent them as the actual beneficiary of the fund to enable the transfer to be effective.

The procedures of the transaction are as follows:

Firstly,you are required to come down to South Africa to open a non-resident/Investment account with any of the commercied bank here in South Africa and also help them in the clearing of the fund which is presenthly deposited with a secuirty company here in johannesburg South Africa,This money will be deposited into the account you will open as soon as it cleared from the secuirty company for onward transfer to overseas account.

All the documents required to the deposit of this consigament will be sent to you ,if you wish . Note; the security company where this fund is deposited do not know the actuan content of the box, because during the time of deposit it was deposited as family valuables for security reasons.

I advice you should furnish me with your direct fax numbers for easy commumication.

I expect your prompt reply to this message.

Yours truly,

Barr:Douglas (Esq)

I hear and obey. Oh, but this is exciting! I haven't been out of the country since our vacation in Istanbul back in '67. My, those were grand times!!! Smoking opium from the hookah, eating spicy possum, with a little kitty on the side! Ah, and the daily enemas. Clean colon, clean mind, that's what I always say, even if I need help to wipe myself these days.

My fax number is 203-926-XXXX.

As ever, please don't contact my grandson. He is very suspicious, and if he finds out that I am e-mailing you he will surely make Lillian and I do one of those videos with Ron Jeremy again.

Yours in Tobor,

Louis Gans
Trumbull, CT

How are you today? Please I want to know if you will be able to come down here In South Africa? And I also want to know if you need to see the documents?

Yours truly,

Barr:Douglas. (Esq)

But of course, I am ready to go to Suth Africa! Do you know Nelson Mandela? I would so like to meet him. Where should I fly into? Johannesburg? Bloemfontein? Marvin Gardens? Cape Town? Candyland? Durban? Park Place? East London? Ventnor? Nelspruit? Boardwalk? Pretoria? I do so hope that I can fly into Bloemfontein. I'd love to catch one of the Naked Rugby tournaments they are so famous for.

When should I leave? How long should I plan to say? Do you need a current picture of me so you will recognize me? The passport picture I sent is quite old.

Can I bring my nurse? I need someone to wipe me while I am there (it is hard to reach these days). Unless you would be willing to do so? If she can travel with me, she also gives a fine hand job under guise of washing my privates, and I'm sure I can convince her to "wash" you too, if you'd like.

Yes, please send me the documents. My fax number is 203-926-XXXX.

As ever, please don't contact my grandson. He is very suspicious, and if he finds out I am e-mailing you he will surely surgically conjoin me to the cat again.

All my love,

Louis Gans

How are you today? I seems you as an old man, but the words that comes out of you I don't understand. I just want to let you know that this is not a joke and you have to understand the person that is working with you, as a lawyer I will not like you to play with me.

I know that you have see allot of things in this word and I also know that allot of things are happening in this Continent of Africa there is no doubt about that. You should understand that what this family sent to you is any but the truth you have to believe me.

Please tell me your mind if you know you far God?

Your truly,

Barr:Douglas

I assure you I am very serious about this. I am sorry that there is a language barrier between us. What have I said that you do not understand?

This adventure will be the crowning achievement my life. The world's oldest man, Yukichi Chuganji's, died yeterday at the age of 114. I am 111. I don't have much time left to leave a financial legacy for my family.

You said that this family is telling me "any but the truth." Do you mean they are lying? I think maybe this is part of the language problem between us. I am sorry that we cannot talk, I think it would be much easier.

I do not know of a far God. Jesus is very near to me. Being so close to death, Jesus and I are on a first name basis, you might say. Kind of like Joan of Arcadia (that is a TV show) only less strange. Jesus and I are kind of like old drinking buddies. Jesus is kind of a regular guy, except he only drinks the best single malts.

When should I head to South Africa? Where should I land?

I do hope this makes sense to you. I am very old and my mind wanders so whatever I am thinking happens to come out in my e-mails. I would have my grandson edit these to make more sense, but he is very suspicious, and if he finds out I am e-mailing you he will surely squash my poodle Boinky with a brick. So please don't contact him.

In Jesus name,

Louis Gans

How do you do today? I think it is better if we stop on this stage in this transaction, why is because you are very old for me to be stressing you on this time of your age. I respect you as my father, I will not like us to have problems in language because God will not forgive me this is because bible tells me that honour your elders so that your days will be long. Please if there is any way you can contact any other person on this transaction please do so. For me to continue with you, I will not do that. I will tell this to the family of Mr.john as for me and you on this transaction it will not be possible because of the way I understand you.

Yours truly,

Barr:Douglas Esq.

My boss Mr. Louis Gans tolds me that because he is too old to help Mr. John Bogani that maybes I can helps. Mr. Louis Gans says he will pay for my flight and stuffs if I splits the profits withs him. Since he doesn't pays me much I thinks that's fair. You are a lawyer so you tells me.

Please lets me know ifs I can helps, because I cans really use the money. I work as Mr. Louis Gans gardener and I ams very honest and trust worthy. I can keeps a secret real good. I won't say anythings to anyone, not even my girlfriend and cousin Becky.

Yours Truly,

Mr. Jesus Ruprecht DeJesus
