Dear Engr.Micheal

I am honored that you would select me for this most important opportunity. I can most readily testify to meeting the qualifications you outlined below, specifically:

a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence

** All my friends tell me that I am extremely transparent, even bordering on being translucent under the proper lighting conditions.

b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality

** Believe me, if I ever entered into business with you, I wouldn't want anybody to find out about it.

c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds once it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail.

** Personally, I don't believe in sharing, so that won't be a problem. As for sitting on the funds, I realize that we have different customs in our two countries, but you should know that my wife just bought me a new Lazy-boy with a crushed-velvet seat cushion, so I'm quite comfortable with that. Also, as far as my parentage goes, I am not a black male. I am part Cherokee and part French (although we don't talk about that much these days). I hope this won't be a problem.

c) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed by us after you have removed your share of 20% from the total amount.

** I'm really, really, good now at following instructions, so you won't have any problem here. One time I used a number 3 instead of number 2 pencil, so some of my answers didn't count and I failed the test and had to repeat the seventh grade. But I learned my lesson real good and that won't happen again!!!

To make sure all this is on the up and up, and nobody tries to cheat me out of my 20% of the money, I suggest that from this point on we use code words to reference ourselves in any further communication. I'll be "Big Dawg", and you call yourself "Little Bitch". I thought about using "apples" and "oranges", but I didn't know if you liked fruit that much, so I went with the dog analogy instead. I hope this works okay for you.

I look forward to your next email, Little Bitch.

Sincerely,

Big Dawg.
