#1 Dear Paul,

Nigeria has had the good fortune of receiving the entire country of Gabon, complete with its oil industry. For complex legal reasons, we are unable to keep it, and would like to hand it over to Cameroun. However in order to do so, you must pass sovereingty over the Cameroun to our lawyer, whose address in Lagos is included below. We assure you this will be only temporary.

Your FRIEND,

Olusegun

#2 He's lodging a formal complaint with the United Nations, eh? Well, that should clear things up pretty quickly.

#3 Dear Paul,

Your name was given to me from a mutual business acquaintence who assured me that you would deal with the proposition I have with the utmost confidence. I have vouchers for delivery of 50 million barrels of Nigerian oil that I am unable to negotiate directly because of the current media situation It is imperative that I sell these now while the market is hot. If you will assist in procesing this transaction you may retain 10% of the gross proceeds. 10% will also go to Obasanjo, who will be allowed to take over the rest of your country if you do not cooperate. If you are interested in this opportunity, please reply to me at United Nations Procurement Service, 304 East 45th Street, FF Building, 2nd Floor, New York, New York.

Your humble servant,

Kojo
