This page chronicles some of my email exchanges with persons who contact me pretending to have
lots of money to give me, but only if I give them some of my money first.

Hi. I'm called the "saint" on account of my initials.

My name is Simon Templar, and I am a character created by Leslie Charteris.

There was this sick woman, Tracy Hatch, who had two trunkboxes full of money stashed away in a
security company in Amsterdam. She had her lawyer, Rudolph Sherman, to help her. They appealed
to Rev. Simon Templar, of the Church of Good Hope and Faith, to help them give away this money to
charity. This is the story. The saint has them send a hundred dollars as donation to a church, and then
wait for some hours at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam for an imaginary traveller.
Unfortunately, the trunkboxes were never recovered. It is believed they were imaginary too.

Another wealthy widow at death's door contacted me with a similiar story.
Her name was Mrs. Nelly Noumury and her lawyer was Barrister John Lawrence. However, the saint
left the scene in a fit of rage and then the story sort of came to a standstill.

A FedEx package containing skads of vital documents and a cheque for nine hundred thousand
American Dollars was mine just for the asking. Just send them $120, and the package
gets to my door-step. Here is how the saint handles it.

One day, out of the blue, I got an incredible offer from the aide of the former President of Congo. I was to
help him transfer a trifling amount of money, about sixteen million dollars american, out of the country of
South Africa and he will let me have about half of it.

However, he ended up in a photograph holding a placard for my viewing pleasure
and he had the fun of researching the whereabouts of a certain Bishop.

The money? I don't know. You ask him.

When I came back after a few weeks and found my mailbox full of offers to make me rich I was not exactly
pleased. To hit back at them, I tried an ASEM - with satisfying results.

The saint does not always get what he asks for. Sometimes his demands are unreasonable
and the scammers just go away and try scamming somebody else. This is one such encounter.
