Here is the information:

The CONFIRMATION FORM is well attached.
Secret decoder ring question: What is my favorite color?
Answer: White, of course.
Please contact me if this does not suffice.
I am still hoping my work schedule and grandmother's treatments will allow for my trip to Lagos next week. I will keep you posted. We will be able to firm up all the modalities of this transaction. Please send my antiTERRORISM certificate as soon as possible. As well as allowing me to carry on with this transaction with your goodself, it will serve as wonderful evidence for my upcoming legal matters.

(He sent the same letter twice -but added (urgent) to the header of the second one. Thanks, Rich/Bankole.
Well, I am very confused, old chap, as to what could have happened. My Western Union Officer gave me best assurations that all was well OK with it. I will call him and reconfirm that MR. RICH E. MADU is the recepient for the $1000.
In other news, how are you?
Thank you,
Laam Do you find it even a bit suspicious that I spell my name three different ways?
I attached some garbage to this, too --a download from MONEYGRAM, a competitor of Western Union. Bankole seems oblivious.
