Noel Ogunu, the supposed refugee in Ghana, contacted me again. He seems so eager to conduct business with me, he says he is e-mailing me from a fucking REFUGEE CAMP. Gomer. Of course I bring the subject up. Here goes:
FIRST CONTACT: Enter NOEL, STAGE RIGHT, out of the blue:

NOW THE FUN BEGINS! I respond with my (semi)-sob story:
From "Michael Ockisard"
Subject: Re: Business Partner needed
To: "Neol Ogunu" noelogunu@-----.com
Noel,
I am sorry to hear your circumstances. Very fortunate that you have internet access in your camp! Do they have an internet cafe tent or something? (HAH! PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT, YOU BASTARD! -ed.)
I have never been asked for help by someone I do not know before, so I hope you don't mind me asking for your camp caretaker's contact information:
-NAME
-POSTAL ADDRESS
Also, I would like to obtain the information and point of contact for your "company".
E-mail only, as I have no workable phone due to a recent storm that damaged the local telephone routers. For internet I have to travel 30 km to the nearest town with electricity and flushable outhouses. So you have my apologies in advance if I don't reply to you very quickly.
Set your mind at rest, friend. I am reliable and trustworthy. I am only 4 feet, 6 inches tall, a part-time caretaker for my mother, who was seriously injured in a burro-polishing accident some months ago. She required extensive oral surgery and needs expensive medication (10 grams of Tetrahydrocannabinol thrice daily). I am also part-owner and Chief Operating Officer of Methodist Laboratories, LLC. We specialize in "pharmaceutical research and development". The other partners in our family business are my stepfather and step-uncle, Roy and Renaldo, who unfortunately are both undergoing therapy at a methadone clinic for the next 3 months. I have many demands on my time and money, and can use all the help I can get.
So get your informational ducks in a row and drop me a line. Can't wait to hear from you again!
Mike Ockisard
I should feel guilty for tormenting these guys. Wait..... No, I don't. They've defrauded too many gullible people for my pity. Fuck 'em.
