Upon the passing of the late Mr. Liam Logan Mason, a contractor in the UK, £5 million pounds is up for grabs from an investment banker.

As with all the others, I am ever so grateful to have been singled out as the recipient of this large sum, which could be put to work on new drapes for the sitting room.

Let's see how this all pans out. Could he be 'the one'?

Hi Michael / Margaret / Mtroxsnis,

I’m terribly sorry, but I can’t remember your name! I think it might have been one of the three above ?

Did we meet at the St. Medusa Golf Classic Car meet in Faro in 2019?

If it was you, we were talking about how BitCoin and Ethereum contracts will revolutionise the mortgage approval process.

Terence pushed me into the pool so I lost my phone with all my contacts! That’s the last time I jump into bed with BlackBerry!!

So how’s life? How is business?

Let’s catch up!

What flavour of pizza are we having business-wise today??

Dear Mr. Rotten Angel

Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, we have not met before but i have a business proposal for us.

I know this might come as a surprise to you considering the amount of junk emails we all receive on a daily basis.

I can assure you that I am not one of them; I would appreciate it if the content of this email is kept strictly confidential.

I have decided to contact you first via SMS due to the urgency of this transaction. I was in the Republic of Ireland for three (3) weeks to search for an area of investment and holiday, I came back before the lockdown.

A brief introduction about me, I am Mr. Michael Bolton Greg, a bank manager here in the UK. I have worked here for a little more than 16 years.

I am contacting you concerning an abandoned account in the sum of £10million Pounds.

I was the account manager to late Mr. Liam Logan Mason, a foreign contractor to the department of works and housing who has an investment account with our bank. Late Mr. Liam Logan Mason died without any named beneficiary or a WILL to the account.

According to practice, the Private banking sector will by the end of 2021 broadcast a request for statement of claim to my Bank, failing to receive viable claims they will probably revert the deposit to the ownership of the UK Government Treasury according to United Kingdom Banking and financial law.

I am proposing that after a successful execution of the business deal, the funds will be shared in the ratio of 50/50.

You will get 50% and I will be entitled to 50%. You know that I must have done my homework already before contacting you.

Although the project is CAPITAL INTENSIVE, I know we will be able to pull it through following proper banking and legal Channels with your assistance at your end by standing as the next of kin/Business associate to late Mr. Liam Logan Mason.

This claim will be executed without breaching any UK laws and success is guaranteed if we cooperate on this. The bank will release the account to you as the business associate to the deceased.

An opportunity like this only comes once in a lifetime and I think we need the fund (10million Pounds) to take care of ourselves and family.

I would like you to think about this and let me know your decision because such a deal happens in the banking industry but only the outside world is not aware.

If you give me a positive response, I will give you the relevant INFORMATION for the successful completion of this deal and we both enjoy it in peace.

All I require from you is honesty/sincerity; I guarantee that this will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.

If you give me positive signals, I will initiate this process towards a conclusion.

Sincerely,

Mr. Michael Bolton Greg

Hey Michael,

You're telling me, right?! Money is certainly something I could use right now!

I have been furloughed like an 18th Century Wiltshire field for the last 8 months (since the start of the pandemic), but I am closer to retirement and have enjoyed business success throughout the years. I have been blessed with great luck!

I have put on more weight than an erupting volcano and drink as much as a brewery, but those aside, I am as sharp as a Columbian speed-goose and as capable as tea tree oil when it enters your eye.

I know what you mean about marketing emails and information overload. In my childhood, I was able to build a shed out the back garden with the Joe Dolan demo LPs that came with the computer and gardening magazines I would read in the other shed.

I'll keep this email secret as I do with all my other business dealings. My wife once asked me about my business and I asked her fairly not to ask me again. You can't be too careful with the press these days!

In my dealings with others over the years, I have been quite successful as a businessman and as a man. I have been married for 28 years to a lovely woman from Spain (Choriza) and we have eleven wonderful children who are all of University age.

The youngest, Angroline, has recently graduated as an upper-wife and will use her natural bodily strength to deliver oversized babies in St Clem's Maternity Hospital. She's a doughty fighter and a real trooper.

I am very sorry to hear about the late Mr. Liam Logan Mason. I never knew him personally, even though my company did work on some contracts in the UK digging tunnels.

Let's move forward with this process, because as a man intrigued, I am indeed intrigued by this.

Where do we go next?

Yours etc,

The Rotten Angel

I will need the following details from you to enable me to proceed with the preparation of the draft business agreement for our signature before submitting the letter of claim and bio-data of the deceased to my bank for claim.

  1. Your full name:

Hey Michael,

Whoah! Easy tiger! I don't put out on the first date! I'm all in and purring like a hungry kitten, but trust has to work both ways.

You might be reading this response with your mouth hanging open, but I roll with the craziest of them and talk like a street badger.

I'm also a very careful cat. Given my profile in the World of business, I had had to keep it on the low for the last couple of years.

A video of me in a bath with three others had the tabloids alight and drooling like Rotweillers eyeing up a juicy fillet steak. I will spare you that image!

The video is innocent enough, but the damage it did to me and my reputation is insurmountable and I am still in recovery mode, like a sick teenager after his first bottle of Buckfast.

He'll wake up with a hangover tomorrow!

I actually had to change my online personas to keep these vile pigeons away from me, and I only release certain details to those trusted who I am doing business with.

Let's do a trust based swap. I'll show you my ID card if you show me yours. It has my real name and details.

I'll tell you, the Google feature where you can be forgotten is an absolute Godsend! The Lord does work in mysterious ways.

So here I am, no mask. Let me feel the feathers in your wallet.

With gusto,

The Rotten Angel

Michael,

My mother used to call me Zhukov because I could never take no for an answer.

She met him once as he led the Red Army to victory against the fascist yoke that had conquered our lands!

I can't take no for an answer. Can you?

Are you still interested in making some sweet pastries? She used to make them beautifully, if a little too sweet.

They had the consistency of elephant's milk but went down a treat after a morning moving bags of grass over long distances.

Are you in or are you in?

Hit me up. I like to move like an otter.

And just like that, he was gone like a cat's fart in a tropical cyclone.

My bombast didn't sit well with him. I must try a different approach next time, or that house on the hill will go to someone else.

But wait, he is back! Follow on good reader. Let's see if this has the leather to line my couch of wealth!

Hello Michael,

I was starting to get a little worried there that you had vanished like an ungrateful cat to the new next door neighbours.

It's good to see that you're alive. Your absence certainly didn't inspire confidence in this transaction, but I am the more forgiving type in my older age.

Since you're as keen as a duck, I'll furnish the details you ask for as follows:

Physical address: Howth Garda, Howth, Dublin D13 YR70.
Contact tel: +353 (1) 666 4900

If there is no risk in this transaction like you say, then we are looking into an oven with lots of treats. I don't want my face to get burnt!

I put my trust in you Michael and I ask of you the same - recognition of my mutual trust as requested hence.

Please send on the documents as you have mentioned in your previous reverence. I have the day to observe them dynamically.

Onward and upward Michael! Let's eat those burgers together!

Michael,

Are you a magician or are you a ninja? I might suspect both because you are very quiet and indeed invisible!

You were meant to send something on to me today and I have not yet received it. Is the fox in town keeping the chickens away?

Let's shoot the fox, or perhaps more humanely, let him out of the boot of the car and into the woods so he can join his friends the endangered stoat and the wild cat.

Let's move further away from stories and more toward reality, with that reality being that the clock is ticking and I would like to get through this before the CountDown omnibus starts on TV and my bottle of whiskey is slowly emptied past my lips.

Choriza is a gannet for the mulled wine, even during the warmer summer months! Sometimes I don't know the woman at all.

Send me a heartbeat you beautiful soul you.

I'm worried about you!

Roaring Michael ?

Did you remember to wake up today? Did you remember to brush your teeth and have a shower?

Did you remember to go down and have breakfast and curse yourself for drinking orange juice and eating Coco Pops with the lingering taste of toothpaste in your mouth?

Did you remember to let the dog or cat out the back garden for a cheeky morning shit?

If you remembered all these things, then don’t forget about me Michael.

Money never sleeps Michael, and neither should we.

There’s still time set aside for the unpleasant paperwork. I’m ready Michael. Are you?

Let’s stop being squirrels. They’re always the victims.

Let’s start being wolves. They are the perpetrators.

Let’s perpetrate and perpetuate.

Technomichael,

Are you still interested in this deal? Should I wait, or should I revert to catching ducks?

An answer would be appreciated. I can't stand idly by while ducks are getting away and I am not receiving an iota of a response from you.

A hello would be nice. Please say hello.

It's reassuring.

Yours waiting,

The Rotten Angel

Another one slips the net. This fish was perhaps too small for fall into the clutches of the Rotten Angel, and given I am abreast with EU fishing law, he must be released so he can grow and learn from this experience just as I have.

Onward and upward. Those millions are still out there waiting for me!
