Mrs Joy Bongo - take 4

It's been awhile since my last post on my African scams friends. There are at least 2 friends I am still keeping in touch and one of them is Mrs Joy Bongo.

Cut the story short, I have "applied" for a visa to visit South Africa and have also "booked" my return flight tickets to Johannesburg. Do I really need a visa to South Africa??? Anyway, here are the emails that transpired between the two of us....

Her reply came one day later requesting me to bring USD7,500.00. Do you think someone will actually be waiting for me upon my arrival in Johannesburg?

Dear Kia Su,

Your travel information is noted.

Hotel Rebooking will be done to reflect your arrival and departure dates.

Another thing very important,I hope you would bring along the US$7,500 needed to settle the debt at the security company as this is very important.I would also want to know what color of dress you would wear so as to enable me or any body who fetch you identify you easliy on arrival.Remember also you would open a non-resident account in one of the bank in which the funds-$27.8Million will be deposited upon its claim from the security company,that is after settling the debt.

After depositing the funds,it will immediately follow the transfer to your Malaysian account.

My attorney has concluded all necessary arrangments inorder to ensure a smooth and ordely conclusion of the transfer on your arrival.

Everything is in good shape as we look forward to seeing each other.

Sincerely and looking forward to receiving your reply.

Joy Bongo

Dear Mrs Joy Bongo

I am happy to receive your email and am sorry for the late reply. I was busy with my other engagements. Hope u understand. Right now, I am preparing for my visit to South Africa and to settle this transaction with you.

Tomorrow, on Monday, I go to a money changer to exchange for USD7,500 and will bring this money to South Africa.

I understand that I need to open a non-resident account with a bank in South Africa in order for the transfer to take place. Could you check and let me know what documents I need to carry with me to open this account? Can I transfer the money from this non-resident account to my own account in Malaysia after I get the money?

I will most probably be wearing a White Shirt with black pants. Will re-confirm this again before I leave next week.

Let me know who will be meeting me at the airport? Will you be there? I really hope you can be there to meet me in person at the airport.

Thanks,
Kia Su

This is not related. How embarassing can it gets when one cannot remember the words to his/her own national anthem in front of thousands of people in an NBA game? Don't laugh. Can you remember the words to Negaraku?

Meanwhile, Happy Easter to everybody reading.
