FROM DR MIKE BENS.
AUDITING AND ACCOUNTING UNIT.
FOREIGN REMITTANCE DEPT,
INTERNATIONAL BANK FOR AFRICA.
LOME- TOGO.
I am the director incharge of auditing and accounting section of International Bank for Africa Lome-Togo in West Africa with due respect and regard.I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be very beneficial to both of us at the end of the transaction.
During our investigation and auditing in this bank, my department came across a very huge sum of money belonging to an Iraqian citizen who died along with his family during the recent war in Iraq. We are soliciting for your assistance to put up a claim on this fund and stand as a business partner to the deceased,while we will be here to monitor and follow everything up untill the fund gets to any of your account overseas.
I keep this information secret within myself and partners to enable the whole plans and idea to be profitable and successful during the time of execution.
The said amount was the sum of US $25.5M. As it may interest you to know, I got your impressive information through our chamber of commerce on foreign business relations here in Lome-Togo.I know that you will be capable of handling the business without any problem..Meanwhile, all the whole arrangements to put claim over this fund as the new beneficiary to the deceased account.We will first of all , get the required approvals from the bank and as soon as that is done in your favour as a business partner to the deceased,you will then instruct the bank to transfer this money to a foreign account which you will present to them.Every arrangements and directives has been put in place and all needed informations will be relayed to you as soon as you indicate your interest and willingness to assist us and it will also benefit your to this great business opportunity.
Infact, I could have done this deal alone but because of my position in this country as a civil servant,I am not allowed to operate a foreign bank account.They would eventually raise an eyebrow on my side during the time of transfer because, I am still working with the bank. This is the actual reason why it will require a second party or fellow who will forward claims as the new beneficiary to the deceased account and as a business partner with an affidavit of trust of oath to the bank and you will also present a foreign bank account where you will need the money to be re-transferred into on your request as it may be after due verification and clarification by the correspondent branch of the bank where the whole money will be remitted from to your own designation bank account.
We will discuss on the mode of sharing immediately you confirm your willingness to us.Please you have been adviced to keep top secret as I am still in service and intend to retire from service after the conclussion of this deal with you. I am my partner will be monitoring the whole situation here in this bank untill you confirm the money in your account and ask me to come down to your country for subsequent sharing of the fund according to percentages ..All other necessary informations will be sent to you ,together with an agreement duely sign by both of us when I hear from you including my complete personnal information for proper guarantee.
I look forward to hear from you.
Yours faithfully,
DR MIKE BENS

All the poems and stories in my site were written with the hope that they would stir the reader's emotions. I wrote most of them from my own life's experiences and those of the people I have met through out my life. The others I wrote simply from an over active imagination.
They are not meant to portray my emotional state or that of anyone person, but rather the possible emotional state of most people at sometime in their life.
Although some deal with what some people would call fantasy. The ones about Dragon's (who's to say there were no Dragon's once or that they may still be around), even they can stir up ones emotions.

I started building my Lair back in late 1996 when I was with AOL. In 2001 I left AOL and moved my lair to its current home.
It was originally created using Allaire's - HomeSite 3.0, then Homesite 4.0, and as of Feb. 6th, 2005 I started using HTML-Kit Version 1.0 (Build 292).
Also on Feb. 6th, 2005 I began updating DragonMay's Lair from HTML code to CSS code, and I finished it on March 7th, 2007.
On Monday, Sep 26th, 2005 I started adding my Rail Way Station to my site. Due to some small bugs which were quickly worked out as we came across them, and my work schedule I finely got it up and running with 4 (four) different internet "Rail Way" trains running in and out of it on Saturday, Oct 8th, 2005.
I am now up to Ten pages which currently have 175 Scam Emails with 35 Scam Emails on each of the first four pages and 177 Lottery Scam Emails with 37 Lottery Scam Emails on the first page, and 35 Lottery Scam Emails on the other four pages. I also have 22 email/lottery scam pages where I replied to the scammers. Along with one page on Chase bank scam emails, a page with other bank scam emails, a page with scam job offers, and a page about work at home scams. My internet Scam Chamber will continue to grow as I find the time to add all the other scam emails I have and keep getting.
You will find that I add onto it, and remodel it whenever I become bored with the way it looks inside.
There have been over four million visitors to my lair since I opened it.
My Lair is best viewed at screen resolution 1024 x 768 with a 17 inch or larger monitor or 800 x 600 with a smaller monitor.
It is best when viewed on Internet Explorer Version 6.0
Other browsers may not show the pages correctly or completely.
This site can also be viewed correctly using Netscape Browser it you have it set to use the Internet Explorer "Rendering Engine".
Too set this up in your Netscape Browser; with it open click on Tools, then Options, then Site Controls. In this window look to the lower right corner for Rendering Engine and select Internet Explorer and click OK. If you do not have Internet Explorer's Rendering Engine listed you will have to download and install Internet Explorer (see link above to get I.E.).
If you do not have Netscape Browser and would like to try it you can download it from here:
If you want to see my lair with the Font I use you will need to have the font Antique. If you do not have it you can download it here: Antique Font
The Music on some pages are set to auto-play and loop. Other pages are not set to auto-play. You can turn the music on and off with the controls at the bottom of every page.
It works best if you use RealOne Player as your default Midi Internet player.

All my poems and stories are copyrighted. That does not mean I think they are great, but rather that I wish for them not to be taken and used against my will to represent something I did not intend them to. They are for the enjoyment of those who wish to read them, nothing more.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for school, all I ask is that the poem/poems be copied in full including the copyright information. And that you email me twice. First to let me know which poem/poems you want to use. And a second email to let me know what comments good or bad were made about the poem/poems. As this will help me in the future to write even better poems.
If you would like to use one or more of my poems for any other reason, please email me with which poem and what you would like to use it for. I will get back to as soon as possible, as I check my email everyday 3 (three) or 4 (four) time a day.
I do not want any of my poems, or stories displayed, or put up on anyones else's web site. You are how ever, more than welcome to put a link to any Poem or Story in my Lair on your site if you would like.
Any Questions about copyright information?
Check out these sites.
Do you have a letter or e-mail that you have received that sounds too good to be true. Then it probably is. Something like: you have won a large sum of money, or maybe someone wants to pay you or give you money.
What ever you do:
DO NOT GIVE OUT YOUR PERSONAL AND BANK INFORMATION !
DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY !
There are a lot of Scam's, Fraud's, and Rip-off's out there on the internet as well as the regular mail.
Due to the amount of this stuff going on I felt it necessary to start posting all the ones I get. From Lotteries to Work at home. I will add more as I get the time.
