To: Barclays Bank I THANK YOU for atleast responding and assurance that your bank will look further into your clients who have accounts in your banking institution. It took me a long time to play to those fraud artists and also managed to get their banking info. It would be a shame to see these people who defraud innocent victims of their hard earned savings, social security & pension. But it would be very unfortunate to see that they use your bank to perpetuate their crime with impunity. I trust you will do the right thing. Graham P.S. This just came in as i was writing this note. Date: Tue, 03 Jan 2006 10:50:09 -0500 Good day to you. This communication is meant to confirm your receipt
of our email transmission of yesterday Tuesday 2nd January, 2006. |
|
|
To: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Please note that a wire transfer was processed and i got a phone
call saying that they don't have a Mr Nicole Hatfield connected with
that account. They suggested that it might be Ms Nicole Hatfield or
Mrs Nicole Hatfield. Due to the current privacy regulation the bank
needs to confirm the recepient name matches that of the account number
stated. The Name Title (mr, mrs or ms) is even more important. As your
company policy is regulated by the laws of the country, i suppose the
banks can be as rigid with their policy while all that run around is
costing my rightyfully deserved winnings. Please confirm the correct
title and i will need an extra day extension because at this moment
the banks are closed in England. |
 |
|
From: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Good day to you. We are however surprised at your received email in
that the account details Provided does NOT match the Title
Name of the recipient as Mr Hatfield Nicole. Please be informed
that Nicole Hatfield has been the account Officer (Consultant) with
this company a long time now and we therefore find it very difficult
to accept the "claims" of the bank where the transfer was made as contained
in your email. That is completely out of untrue! Name: Mr. NICOLE HATFILED We assure you that the recipient is able to pick up the equivalent
here in the United Kingdom by 9.00hrs GMT Thursday 6th January, 2006.
This would prevent further delay of time as we cannot afford a day longer
than Friday 7th January 2006 for the return of the parcel to the JLC
of the United Kingdom. |

To: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Dear Mr John Walters, I thank you in the meantime. Sincerly Graham |

From: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Good day to you. Your email transmissions of yesterday Wednesday have been received.
A letter to that effect was formally depatched to that office late Wednesday to register our complaints. However, we dare say you do not seem to understand the working principle of funds transfer via Money Gram. Money Gram does not require postages of parcels for payments to be received. Once paid, a REFERENCE NUMBER shall be given to you by the Money Grant agent/point of payment. You will thus forward the given Reference Number to this office and our recipient confirms the payment at the Local Money Gram Point here in the UK and receives the amount sent by you. Receipt of sent funds is within few minutes from the time of payment by you. Below, you find the name and contact details of some Money Gram agents/locations near you where you can make the payment today. 1.) AHZ WIRELESS 1273 NORTH AVE BRIDGEPORT, CT 06604 Phone: 2033318666 2.) AJ MULTISERVICES AND TRAVEL LLC 1040 MADISON AVE BRIDGEPORT, CT 06606 Phone: 2033310698 As soon as the payment is made, you are to urgently forward the REFERENCE NUMBER given to you to this office by email communication. A copy of the receipt of payment at Money Gram should be sent to the fax number provided earlier. We assure you once again of our avowed commitment to mailing your parcel to your stated address within 48 hours from the time of receipt of the said charges. We are glad to be of service to you. |
|
|
From: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Good day to you. Consequent upon the non-payment of the named courier
and insurance charges, this office thus conclude that you are no more
interested in our services in mailing the said check to your address
in the United States. We are glad to be of service to you. |

To: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Dear Mr Walters, Mr Nicole Hatfield and all the Staff At Sky Express Services. I will be indebted to you for all your efforts accorded to me to ensure my check gets to me. However i will never forgive myself if your company loses it's license for not conforming to the legal mandate. I know you gave me a couple of extensions knowing that the check has to be claimed within 10 days and anything beyond that the monies has to be turned over to the JLC. Trust me, i know those folks at the JLC. If they don't get what is rightfully theirs then they will shut down your lucrative business and i for one would not want to have it on my good conscious that you lost your business for a mere sum of 240,000.00 British Pounds. Please treat this note as my confirmation to remit my parcel over to the JLC as mandated by Law. There is but one(1) final favor i would like to ask you. Please have the JLC acknowledge the receipt of the parcel and pass on my personal details and if they could send me the receipt of the cheque then i would like to claim it in my 2005 Income Tax Deduction. I know that all Government Organizations do that. Now that's not too much to ask for, Is It ? I still thank you for all your efforts. |

John Walters resends his last mail, asking me to pay by MoneyGram. | |
|
To: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Dear John, I have already responded to your note. Please ensure
that you follow-up with your complaint to Barclays Bank. If you care
i will follow-up with them regarding your complaint. I have the bank
details you provided me so it should be easy to follow up. Please confirm
if the information i have is correct. |

To: skydelivery48@deliveryman.com Dear John, |

Graham never heard from them again. End of story. |
