11:26 Quin to sister Dave

Dear Sister Dave.
Am so happy and grateful to the Holy Lamb for having you as my Sister
in the Lord, am so thankful to you on all the suggestions received
from you,both on my health and also how to go about getting the things
you asked me to do done,May the Holy Lamb bless you more and more Amen
As of the Contacts I will try doing them between now and next
tomorrow, because is better than sending any person because sending
will as well require my looking for transport, thanks for your
Suggestions
Remain Blessed
Brother Quin.

22:11 Zach to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

Today I received the good news that I am allowed to come to you. I am making my preparations, but I will keep you updated about everything. It is likely that I will leave Aberdeen before the end of this week. Please pray that the Lord shall bless this journey and bring me to you safely.

Shalome
Zach

Tuesday

Dear Brother Zacharias my Hart is filled with gladness and Joy this
morning on reading your message which brought the Good new of you
getting approval for the proposed Visit to me/my followers like I said
in my previous mail my joy knows no bounds on going through your mail

lockdown since the Covid19 pandemic has been Eased? If so that Holy
Lamb that made it possible for you to be the chosen one will surely
bring you to Nigeria safely Amen,looking forward to receive your
flight schedule Remain blessed
Quin.

12:48 Quin to Sister Dave

Dear Sister Dave.
Good afternoon, and how are you doing, sorry for little delay in
sending you this follow up mail,is just based on the fact that it is
now Brother Joseph got back from where he has gone to get the
quotation, from my observation, the Decision to use an event planners
is a wise and beneficial decision, the areas we will be the ones to
call on them with our payments once we are ready to go I believe if
any thing falls beyond the budget we can always subsidize from the
courtesy package which I believe will reach here from plog
first.
Thanks and Remain blessed.
Brother Quin.

15:12 Sister Dave

Dear brother Quin,

Thank you for your message, it looks like we're really moving forward now and it was indeed a good decision to hire an event planner.
For the list that you will handle yourself, you will have to specify all the costs. For example, the printing of pamphlets and booklets. Any printing office can make a quotation for that, please inquire again or contact your event planner for this. We do need more specified quotations.
Also for the list of your event planner, the costs are not specified, I only see totals. For example, which hotel, how many rooms, how many guests, what types of food, the price per chair, etc. I expected an event planner to know these kinds of things and I expected this would've been taken care of in the quotation. It is a large sum of money and we need to have our accountant properly book that into the systems as you might understand. Please give me the more detailed, specified quotations as quickly as possible, so I can make sure brother Zacharias can bring the funds with him for you.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

Things are starting to settle in their natural layer... the delivery will take place tomorrow, and the truck should arrive in Lagos on Friday. Or not. Who knows?

Quin to Akwude (yesterday):

Hello Mr Akwude Good afternoon, it nice reading from you once again
today, it's OK I am awaiting your updates and contacts of the
Furniture company in VI Thanks and be Blessed.

Today - 07.00 - Akwude, full of good news:

Sabah el Kheir, dear customer Quin!
I came back with very good news. The delivery will be made tomorrow (Thursday, August 13) and the package will arrive in Lagos on Friday (August 14). After the package will be loaded into the truck, I will notify you and exchange email addresses between you and our client. You'll need to contact Mr. Ebier for the exact details of the Victoria Island pick-up address.
Masha' Allah!
Akwude

===

Edit, from yesterday....
Quin wrote to my old chancellor:

Dear Chancellor Edward.
Good afternoon Sir and how are you doing today?
Sir am very sorry About the health situations you are facing some are
most likely to be because of your Age,but am very sure and optimistic
that the Holy Lamb will grant you and I Good health to meet face to
face like Father and Son in Lord respectively,either there in Abadeen
Scotland or Here in Nigeria Amen.
your son in the Lord.

Today (07.30)
Rev. Eduard to Quin... I'm preparing to get out of the story for my vacation:

Dear my son,

I'm not well. Not at all!
A pulmonologist came to me yesterday and his diagnosis was quite worrying: pneumonia.
At my age, this can be fatal, so I decided to go to the hospital and make myself available to a complex medical team.
Pray to the Holy Lamb so that everything will end well and we can all see each other healthy again in the coming period.

Glory to the Holy Lamb!
Rev. Edward

08.36 - Quin to father Ed:

Dear Sir Chancellor Edward
Good morning Sir,your mail this morning has brought sadness to me,but
sir one thing keeps ringing bell to me as am going through this
mail,it keeps telling me whose report will you believe? on a second
thought it say believe the report of the Holy Lamb not that of the
Doctor you will never loose your biological father and your spiritual
father in the Lord same year,your mentor,the man through whom you are
drawn closer to me,finally the voice said no it never happen,I will be
there with him,Glory and Amen
Sir you are Blessed.
your son in the Lord.

- Certainly his benevolent and generous attitude will change in the coming days... when he loses the package and when sister Dave asks him to organize a service for the old chancellor's health. Muhahahaha!

[Linoline]

Tuesday
17:26 Quin to sister Dave

Dear Sister Dave. Good afternoon once again,
Thanks for your response to my earlier follow up mail to the Quotation
that was sent to you,in response to what you said on how you expected
the Quotation to be please note that is one of my followers that
decided to take his time out to make sure he gets this done,like I
told you on my Sunday mail am still having my Bp high although I know
it will take a little time for it to come down completely please that
way those things are written is the way things are being written/given
to intending customers here am sure is not the same way it is down
there in your Country, but please I suggest since Brother Zacharias is
coming it will help me in making some of them believe there is
seriousness in what we are saying or telling them, the area you talked
about the Hotel and how many Guests you are the one that will tell me
how many of <SNIPPED> Representatives that will come from Scotland whom am
sure will definitely want to be lodged in a 5 star Hotel and may be
you send me the list of <SNIPPED> Churches in Africa and their email and
telephone numbers as for me to get in touch with them to know the
number of delegates they will want to send or could that be done for
us by you?if so i will so much appreciate? again any day or time
Brother Zacharias is coming please and please the issue of his carrying
cash should be ruled out as they might seize such at the Airport.
please do well to help me understand situations here.
Thanks and be blessed
Brother Quin.

Wednesday
9:45 Zach to Quin

Dear father Quin,

As far as I know the travel ban is not lifted yet, but I will not let something simple like that stop me. There are other ways to travel than by airplane. I will leave Aberdeen at sunrise tomorrow and will surely find my way to you. The elders decided that it would be best to make this a pilgrimage for the glory of the Lord, to ask His gracious blessings for the Nigerian parish. This means that I will have to find my way to you by the means the Lord will give me. Please pray for His blessings and protection.
The elders gave me some money to bring to you, for the ceremony that you are organizing right now. Also, chancellor Ed gave me his gold wristwatch as a present for you and a token of his trust.

Shalom
Zach

Maybe a gold watch will warm him up a bit to father Ed.

11:13 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

So you are now telling me that you asked for quotations and made preparations while you had no idea how many people would attend the ceremony? How did your event planner give you a quotation, for how many people? This is outrageous, how can you plan a ceremony like this?
From the <SNIPPED> church in Aberdeen, there will be 5 representatives. Father Ed, 3 elders and myself. Brother Zacharias will already be with you before the ceremony and he expressed his wishes not to stay in a hotel, but to stay in your home or in one of your helpers homes. I hope this will not be a problem.
From the other parishes, there are currently 12, you can expect 2 representatives from each to come to the ceremony. We will take care of their traveling, but we hope you will take care of the hotels for their stay, so besides your own local guests, you will have 29 foreign guests coming for the ceremony.
I know things are done differently in your country, but you also have to understand that the headquarters of the <SNIPPED> church is in Aberdeen, UK and things are done differently here from what you are used to. It is your task to make sure that things are done accordingly to our local regulations as well and it is my job to inform you about the requirements. Only when we work closely together we can bring this to a successful end.
I need the quotations with every subject specified. For example:
"Renting and decoration of hall and field"
- Which hall is the quotation made for?
- For how many days will the hall be rented?
- Same questions for the field. Where is it and for how many days
- Who is the owner of the locations
- What kind of decorations do you need.
- How many decorations from each kind?
- From where will it be purchased or rented.
- What is the cost per item
Etc.

I hope it will be a bit more clear to you this way. Please update your event planner about the information that you need and I trust to receive a response from you soon.
Brother Zacharias will leave tomorrow. On the quotations you gave me this week, the total costs would be $15120,- I gave brother Zacharias $17000 so you will have a bit of margin in case some items will be more expensive due to the economic situation caused by the pandemic. Also father Ed gave him a personal gift for you and I hope you will like it. He doesn't value material things, but this specific gift was special to him because it was a gift from his late father.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

[Birlic]

- We don't want to complicate the situation too much, so that the idiot doesn't suspect anything wrong.
- That "new" customer (Ebier Anonde) will come to Port Harcourt tomorrow morning and will load the truck with all the parcels (including of course the church parcel).
- Then, on Thursday night, the truck will start on its way back to Lagos (Victoria Island) and will disappear without a trace... Who is to blame for this? Some local bandits (Umulakani)? The truck driver? Boko Haram? This will remain a mystery that the police will have to discover and solve.

The PLog company will remain innocent and clean, so that we can use it again (if necessary) when the Safari ban will be lifted.
===

10.00 - Quin to the local manager of PLog:

Good Morning Mr Akwude and how was your night?
Thanks for the updates on your mail of this morning, i await to
receive next updates on what next to do or when next to reach Mr EBIER
thanks and be Blessed.
Quin

Akwude to Quin:

Salam sir!
Mr. Ebier was kind enough to take over the package for the church (I think he is also a Christian man) and authorized me to give you his email address for faster communication between you. He will arrive in Port Harcourt tomorrow morning, leaving for Lagos as soon as we finish loading the truck with the furniture and the rest of the packages. We have another customer (from Benin City) who agreed to have his package sent in a similar way to yours, so the truck will make a stop there as well in his way to Lagos. Mr. Ebier's email address is ebier******@gmail.com
Alhamdullilah, everything will be finished tomorrow, to the glory of Allah!
Akwude

===

12.00 - 2 hours later, a hopefully and impatient reverend writes to Mr. Ebier (that new client which is supposed to transport the package to Lagos):

Dear Mr EBIER.
Good morning and how are you today, please do not be offended over my
contacting you am the fellow you are bringing Church Packages from Mr
Akwude to Lagos my Names are Quin,and my
telephone Number is 0803321****,I thank you so much for accepting the
task of conveying such from PH to Lagos for me God will repay you
abundantly in Jesus Name Amen,please do well to send to me your
Location in VI as well as your telephone number as to be in touch
thanks and remain Blessed.
Quin.

- Obviously I will respond to him only tomorrow after noon, when the truck will already be on his way to Lagos.
- I will be quite vague, with the promise that another message full of explanations will be written later.
- Hours pass and the truck disappears. Mr. Ebier no longer responds to messages (he is dead / kidnapped by Umulakani?).
- My manager Akwude notifies the police... that's how I see the scenario of the events.
Surely Quin will be delighted by this new turn of events.
===

Later edit

13.30 - Our idiot writes to Akwude:

Dear Mr Akwudee Good morning and how are you today?I read your mail
this morning with clear understanding and happy to inform you that I
have also written to Mr EBIER of the Furniture company to inform him
that am the one here in Lagos since he still has someone else to
deliver to in Benin Edo State I hope you already told him about me? am
just awaiting his reply,so please do be expecting updates of my
communications/interaction OK.
Thanks Quin.

Of course Akwude assures the idiot that everything is fine.

Masah el Kheir, dear customer Quin!
Of course, I sent your details to Mr. Ebier and he confirmed that he had received the message from me. He is probably on his way to Port Harcourt now and therefore cannot reply to messages. We'll see tomorrow morning, when I'll make sure he has all the details he needs to get in touch with you. Do not worry about this.
As Salamu Alaykum!
Akwude

[Avalar]

LOL "LadyPEE".

Late to the new forum, been following though. Great work!

[Birlic]

Well, well, well... today is the dollachop day!

- Our idiot did not sleep at all, because at 4 in the morning he was sending messages to Akwude.
- The truck has already left Port Harcourt for Lagos, with a short stop in Benin City.
- My manager Akwude confirmed this and mentioned something about the gangs robbing cars on the road.
- I recycled 2 old pictures with the package and I attached them to the message. They are low resolution and blurred, but explicit enough so that the idiot be relaxed and convinced that everything is real.

In short, the idiot will receive a "reassuring" message from Mr. Ebier (that kind customer who agreed to carry the church package as well) and that's it. Nothing else! The local manager Akwude will be informed that an armed attack took place on the road linking Warri to Sapele and that the security escort was injured. There is also a dead man there. The truck disappeared, along with Mr. Ebier and his driver. A criminal dossier-file will be opened by the Police and PLog company will hire a team of private investigators.

04.11 - Quin wrote to Akwude:

good morning Mr Akwude how was your night please do help me attach
pictures of the parcel please before loading thanks and remain
blessed Quin

07.25 - Akwude to Quin... only good news!

Sabah el Kheir, dear customer Amaechi Quin!
We finally managed to load all the packages into the truck and everything is fine. Mr. Ebier said he had not received anything from you, but that he would write you an email in the next few hours. Because the truck will make another stop in Benin City, I also sent a security escort car with them to avoid any problems related to the presence of gangs robbing cars on the Sapele-Warri route. Insha 'Allah, the transport will arrive in the Lagos area close to midnight and you will probably be able to pick up your package tomorrow. I was pleased to work with you and I hope that our services were at least satisfactory for you, taking into account of course the global pandemic conditions. May Allah protect you from all evil and give you only good thoughts! I also sent this message to my direct superior (Mr. Presley) from the headquarters, to communicate the successful completion of the delivery. I wish you much success in your business and I hope you remain a loyal customer of our company in the future.
Masha' Allah!
Akwude

The next message will come from mr. Ebier, in an hour:

Hy Ezedi******, I just noticed a message from you sent yesterday, but it was in the Spam folder and I haven't seen it yet. Yes, in my truck there is a package for a church in Lagos and I have all your details from the regional manager Mr. Okowuru. We are already on the road to Benin City and the company offered us as security escort a car with 2 armed guards to protect us. We will probably arrive in the Lagos area around midnight, so only tomorrow morning will my assistant Kayode call you to set together the day and time when you will come to pick up your package from our warehouse. Ebier

===

Convinced that he would receive the money, Quin was very kind and courteous with Sister Dave and Rev. Ed.

Dear Sir chancellor Edward good evening Sir how was your day I believe
it was great and also I believe that our good Lord has started his
healing on you and his will perfect it in the mighty name of our holy
lamb Amen. do have a sound sleep sir. ,your son in the Lord Quin

Unfortunately, the old chancellor is hospitalized and will not reply to messages for 2 weeks (my vacation).
===

I will complete the post as more details appear ... stay tuned!
===

09.14 - Directly from the headquarter of PLog, mr. Rabee writes to Quin:

Sir, I just received a message (addressed to Elvis, but he is on vacation) confirming that the delivery was made this morning. This is true?
Can I help you with other information, or is everything okay?
Thanks,
Rabee

[Linoline]

Wednesday
11:33 Quin to Zach

Destination by tomorrow, The Holy Lamb that had started this plans and

11:43 Quin to Sister Dave

Dear sister Dave thanks a lot I a sure you that I will do as you say

for me
Quin

Thursday
9:10 Quin to Sister Dave

Dear Sister Dave.
Good morning and how was your night? Please Dear Sister I have been
much worried since I read mail from Chancellor Ed informing me
about the Doctors Diagnosis, so please am mailing to know from you his
state of Health conditions, because my believe and prayers is for us
to believe on the reports of the Holy Lamb,which assured us that by
his Strives we are healed and I believe the case of my Father in the
Lord is not different, surely he must be healed Amen,What about
Brother Zacharias movement I have informed my followers of his coming
and we all are ever ready to welcome him
Again I still need to ask/know if you have gotten any
information/details from the Company handling the parcel, am very
sorry for my delays in asking all this while.
Thanks and remain blessed.
Brother Quin.

9:47 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

Late yesterday evening father Ed has been hospitalized because his conditions got worse to the point that he needed oxygen to breathe. We have to pray for him constantly and we're very sad, because it is a dangerous situation for him now, right after his covid infection to have another infection in his lungs. His mind is strong but his body has become weak and we hope that his heart will endure through all of this. If the condition gets worse he'll need to be intubated and we pray that he'll be spared from that.
Amidst everything that's going on right now, brother Zacharias left this morning. He brought the money, gift and medications with him and of course the Lords blessings. He will make this sacred pilgrimage to you and we hope he will arrive safely. He promised to keep us updated about everything.
I had a message from the shipping company that the delivery was made successfully, but had to be done in Port Harcourt because of circumstances related to the pandemic, and that you have found someone to transport the parcel to you. I have thanked them for their services and I hope that the preparations for the ceremony will be more efficient in the future now that you have more funds to make arrangements. Also, please use a small part of the funds for some medication you can use until brother Zacharias reaches you.
Please pray for father Ed and brother Zacharias.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

[Birlic]

09.42 - Full of confidence and hope, Quin writes to Ebier:

Dear Mr EBIER
Good morning, nice to read from you this morning,My Brother the Lord
that never allowed Daniel to be noticed by the lions while he was
thrown into their den will never allow any evil man or woman to see
you people He will surely guide you and all the people with you safely
to Lagos in the precious name of Jesus Amen,please do well to get me
informed of safe arrival to Lagos
God bless you .
Mr Quin.

Unfortunately for our dear reverend, the convoy will be attacked by bandits... mr. Ebier will disappear, along with the truck. Only a few wounded and a dead man will be left behind.
===

Quin writes to Akwude...

Good morning Mr Akwude
and how was your night? I received your mail this morning with utmost
surprise based on the fact that it would have been more understandable
and appropriate for you to get notifications from me confirming that
what you sent to me from PH has gotten to me in Lagos,before you could
send notifications to Mr Presley, because first I would need to also
send notification of receipt of the materials in good conditions or if
tampered or not to the sender these are ways things of this nature are
supposed to be handled, receipt of Items are not Acknowledged in
absences of the expected items please.
Thanks and be Blessed.
Quin.

Akwude to Quin:

As Salamu Alaykum!
All I did was say that the package was loaded into the truck and sent to the final destination. Of course, the official reception of the package will be made when you confirm that everything is fine. I wanted to make sure that you are satisfied with the services of my team and that you will be able to recommend our company to other friends of yours.
Masha' Allah!
Akwude

He is convinced that everything is real... the pictures of the package have been accepted, so he probably thinks that tomorrow he will be able to take the money. We hope he has a big party with all his friends tonight.

[Linoline]

10:04 Quin to Sister Dave

good morning once again thanks for your response to my mail I have not
received it they said they are on their way to Lagos but I forwarded
my response I sent to the shipping company I am very much assured that
father Ed will come out successfully so no pernic our good Lord
will heal him in the mighty name of our holy lamb Amen and also
brother Zacharias Our holy lamb will protect him and bring him safely to
Nigeria we all will celebrate together Amen my regards to the elders
in church but is brother Zacharias coming with aircraft or through sea
thanks and remain blessed
brother Quin

10:07 Quin to Zach

Dear brother Zacharias good morning how was your night hope it was
pretty well. how is your movement going to be are you still coming
please do updates me OK I pray that the holy lamb will bring you see
you all through the journey hope to hear from you soon thanks and
remain blessed Quin

Zach will respond later. He is on a pilgrimage.. without a phone. if it's the holy lambs wish he will find an internet cafe or can borrow the phone of someone he meets on his way

10:22 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

About the situation with father Ed, we have no assurances. It is very worrisome and we can only pray that the outcome will be good. The Lord's will shall be done and we can only pray that it is His will that father Ed stays with us longer.
I didn't receive your response to the shipping company, only an empty message, but I believe that you can handle the communications with them yourself. I have a lot to do now that father Ed is in the hospital again.
Brother Zacharias can't travel by airplane or sea, because not all borders are open yet and it is simply not possible. He has to travel by land and we have to pray for the Lord to clear the way for him. He will have difficulties as soon as he wants to leave Europe, but he is experienced with traveling and we are confident that if it is the Lords will, the borders won't be an issue for him.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

Right now he won't mind that much that Zach is going by land and it'll take long. He hopes to get his parcel tomorrow and disappear, so it doesn't matter. After the chop he will curse the closed borders. I don't want him to involve sister Dave in the conversations with the shipping company too much because then I'll create a situation where I'll be baiting myself. We want him to do the work

[Birlic]

^^^ LOL! This idiot is trying to keep up appearances, hoping to get the money.
Probably all his friends have been told that "all the debts will be paid!"

In less than 3 hours, few black storm clouds will stop over our dear Quin... he will receive a disturbing message from Akwude, telling him that he does not know what happened to the truck and the security team, because no one is responding to phone. His mood is likely to change completely tonight, when police inform the manager Akwude of the "armed attack" that took place on the road before Benin City.

[sparky905]

It is sad that news of the armed attack is very limited. The Nigerian economy has really been hit hard because of the virus, and as people struggle, the last bad news needed is to publicise armed attackers, with possible terrorist connections, are at large. It could make a bad situation even worse.

This poor lad....all he wanted to do was steal from others and abandon them. Now he is on the verge of experiencing it himself. Looks good on him.

[Birlic]

^^^ Ohh, yes! It's a real tragedy for him. For more than 6 months he has been trying to take the money from the church, without success but with high hopes!

13.22 - Akwude just sent this message:

Salam Sir!
Did you somehow receive a message from mr. Ebier today? He doesn't answer the phone and I don't know what happened. Neither the two guards (whom I sent to ensure the security of the truck) answer neither the phone nor the messages. Also, that client from Benin City called me a few minutes ago to tell me that no one had contacted him so far. I'm a little worried, because last week there were some armed attacks on the Warri-Sapele route (it's the road that connects Port Harcourt to Benin City). I hope that everything is fine and that it is just a matter of the quality of the telephone network.
Masha' Allah!
Akwude

===

14.57 - Another alarming message from Awkude:

Salam,
I have no news from mr. Ebier and I can't even contact my security team; I already informed the Police about this fact and I am waiting for some news from them. I will come back to you with details when I have something concrete to say. Police said an armed group was operating in the area, led by a criminal known as Oga Umulakani. It seems that there have been several robberies in the area and that the police are trying to hunt down that gang of criminals.
May Allah protect our people!
Akwude

===

16.22 - LOL, let's the fun begins...
Quin to Akwude:

Hello Mr Akwude.
Good After noon, I have seen your mail and its content is not making
me comfortable, I hope you can see the more reason why I said it
improper to send type of mail you have earlier sent to Mr Presley,
because I have never confirmed to you the receipt or my pick up before
sent him such mail which for me I already confirm to him I have not
received any yet,because he sent me mail to confirm such after going
through the one you sent to him,well for me let us believe may be they
are within area that has not phone network, but before assuming such
where were they when you talked to them last?
do please give me more updates, does it mean they have not gotten to
Benin since they left from PH?
Thanks
Quin

and, more worried:

please do send me the name of is furniture company and address in VI
OK thanks and remain blessed
Quin

Of course, Akwude is far too worried and has a lot to do. So it will not reply to messages immediately.
===

[sparky905]

If I understand this correctly, after ages of difficulty making deliveries, a complete stranger steps forward, with the blessing of the lad, and says he will help him out by bringing his package to Lagos at no cost! Then, when news arrives of armed attackers on the highway, the lad expresses no concern for the safety of Mr Ebier or the security agents? What a selfish attitude in a time of crisis. I hate to jump to conclusions based on what little info has been released but I don't think this is merely a case of the truck driving thru an area of no phone reception! Something more devilish is going on here........
I wonder if the address for the furniture company even exists......which might explain why they were so anxious to pick up the package in the first place?

Poor Rev. Quin, he was so close to the prize...........

[Birlic]

^^^ Yeap, he was so close.

17.20 - Akwude to Quin... bad & sad news.

Salam Sir!
I just received a brief information from the Police and the things are very bad. The security team was killed and the driver of the truck was heavily injured in his head. Mr. Ebier is missing and the truck is missing too. It all seems to be because of that wicked Amukelani villain. I will go to Sapele in a few minutes, because I have to make legal statements and recover the dead bodies of my people. Tomorrow I will be able to give you more details.
Masah el Kheir!
Akwude

17.43 - I think he refuses the evidence and still can't understand what happened.

Dear Mr Akwude I don't understand what you are saying because is
like you are the one planing game with your self because you where
the one that said you know Mr EBIER am confused because it was you
that said introduced him to us so send me his phone number in fact you
are the one we know so you will provide the parcel OK thanks
Quin

18.30 - Another full of frustration message from him:

Mr Akwude so is the video of tipper that crushed two person on a
bike that now turn to your men right you are playing with the name of
God
Quin

Of course Akwude has other problems to solve now and he doesn't have time to comfort the idiot ... I'm sure he'll have a wonderful night.
===

19.01 - A desperate lad forwarded the last message of Akwude to Elvis (at the headquarter of PLog)... but Elvis is on vacation , so Rabee responds to the message. Rabee knows nothing and asks the idiot for clarification.

Dear Sir, Rabee's here... my colleague Elvis is on his vacation and his messages end up in my Inbox.
What's going on there? I do not understand anything. Please explain.
Thanks,
Rabee

===

Later edit:
The idiot wanted to check Akwude's story , because the next message is sent AFTER he received the last message (the one in which he was told about the bandits' attack, death and the missing truck). Of course, mr. Ebier is kidnapped and can't reply to messages. Reverend Quin, nice try!

Quin writes to mr. Ebier:

dear Mr EBIER how are you doing hope you are OK Mr Akwude said he
can not locate you and the truck hope you are OK hope to hear from you
soon thanks and remain blessed
Quin

[sparky905]

I just hope all the money Brother Zach is bringing is not needed as ransom to free Mr Ebier. That would mean Quin loses out twice......poor fella.

18:08 Quin to Sister Dave (after frantically forwarding messages to her

dear sister Dave good evening how is chancellor Ed doing hope he
is recovering please sister Dave the parcel is reported missing and
the truck while the man in charge of the parcel said that the ex court
team are killed may be at your own time maybe you get back to them
thanks and remain blessed brother Quin

20:32 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

I'm sorry to say that I don't understand your message. Who has been to court and why is the parcel missing? I have told you earlier today that I have no time to deal with the shipping company right now. We are frantically praying for the recovery of father Ed. His situation worsened over the day. We will now hold a few days of fasting and praying and I will most likely not be able to respond to messages for a while.
Please pray for us all because we are very worried here.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

Poor him. Chopped from his parcel and Sister Dave is not available because she has to attend to a minor issue like taking care of the old chancellor.

21:23 Zach will respond to Quin (scheduled message)

This morning I embarked on my special pilgrimage to visit the new parish in Nigeria. May God lead me like he led Abraham to the promised land.
In the morning I walked along the coastal roads heading south, hoping I could bum me a ride but to no avail. The sun was scorching hot so I had to stop at noon to find some shade and wait for most of the heat to pass. When I continued my journey later on the day I found a trucker who was willing to give me a ride to Dundee. Rough around the edges but his clothes were clean. We had dinner together in a pub in Dundee and he invited me for some beers. I can sleep in the back of his truck tonight. He's heading for Oban tomorrow and my journey will go South, so we will have to part ways in the morning.
Please pray for trucker John. He works long days, is away from home a lot and his marriage suffers because his wife takes care of their three little children. He can use some blessings.

Shalom!
Zach

19.39 - Quin to Rabee, asking for clarifications:

please contact your respective in pH we do not understand what he
saying ask your manager Mr Akwude and get back to me
Quin

21.00 - Rabee to Quin:

Dear Sir,
Our internal private sources say that an armed attack took place today near the city of Benin City. It appears that one or two people were killed by a terrorist group operating in the area. The police are investigating and the local manager is present on the spot. You will receive more details tomorrow; you will probably need to give a statement about the missing package. Don't worry, the insurance company will pay the damages, but the human lives that were lost are a real tragedy. We are all sorrowful and sad.
Rabee

We know very well that all the Insurance companies have a habit of trying to avoid paying damages, asking for additional explanations and investigations. We are sure that Quin will be happy to work with the Insurance representative.

20:50 Quin to Sister Dave

21:01 Sister Dave

Brother Quin,

Please calm down and explain to me what is going on. Why has the security man been in court? Did he commit a crime and why was he following that man and who is mr. Akwude?
I don't understand anything of this and I told you I have no time right now to read all the messages you are forwarding to me. If you want me to understand what is going on, you need to explain to me calmly and detailed what is happening.
I have seen your other message and yes, it is our shipment that is in the picture.
Thank you for your prayers.

Be blessed,
Sister Dave

21:24 Quin to Sister Dave

sister Dave no body is in court Mr Akwude is the manager in
charge of the parcel here in port court through Mr Presly he said
his boys excused the truck that carried the parcel where attacked on
their way to Lagos before Benin city and that the man will he
introduced to me to bring the parcel is missing while his boys where
killed so please contact them OK and have you hard from brother
Zacharias since morning am confused here now thanks and remain blessed
brother Quin

That's not much detail at all, but Sister Dave will be sleeping and praying, so he'll just have to wait

21:38 Quin to Zach

good evening thanks for your mail may the holy lamb bring you to us
OK please keep on updating me OK

That's a bit short, he seems stressed.

I have made a blog for Zach's travel adventures. To make this more credible I can use a few church members to post some comments there. Nothing fancy, just "We're praying for you" "good to hear from you" "may the lamb be with you" "save the goats". Things like that. Please email me on (linoline789 at gmail) if you want to help out

[sparky905]

Check your email....would love to cheer on Zach as he meanders towards Lagos.........

[Birlic]

I have made a blog for Zach's travel adventures. To make this more credible I can use a few church members to post some comments there...

Father Francis already wrote an emotional message of encouragement to Brother Zach.
===

Yesterday, very late evening
- A probably sleepless idiot sent the following message to the head office employee (Mr. Rabee):

come you guys should stop this nonsense OK your local manager Mr
Akwude should be the one to ask all those questions OK thanks and
remain blessed
Quin

Today - 07.00
- Rabee writes to Quin, a light slap:

Dear Sir,
What kind of holy man are you, if you lack empathy and compassion? We have two families who were left without men in the house, some children who were left without a father and some wives who were left without their husbands. I am not a believer, but I honestly expected you to express some normal and natural regrets.

The company will pay all the funeral expenses and will offer financial aid to the 2 grieving families. The driver is hospitalized in a serious coma, but will recover in 2-3 weeks and we will be able to find out exact details about what happened there. The police are convinced that everything was premeditated and that someone informed the bandits about the contents of the truck. Detailed investigations will be made and everyone will have to give statements regarding this event.

We will recover the loss with the help of the insurance policy, but the human drama remains in our soul and mind. The lives of the 2 deceased employees cannot be evaluated in money. As part of the investigation process, you are required to actively participate in the entire procedure and to cooperate fully with our colleague Akwude Orikuwu and the local police representatives. We will also hire a private investigation company to do our own case research; this being requested by the Insurance Company.

Thanks,
Rabee

Starting today I will go on vacation for 2 weeks, but Linoline has access to all my PLog accounts. We still don't know WHAT and HOW, but we will try to keep the idiot hanging until we can try a Safari.
- The old Chancellor is hospitalized.
- Brother Zach set out on a pilgrimage to Nigeria.
- Sister Dave is concerned about the chancellor's health.
- Police's criminal department are investigating the case of the armed attack.
- the local manager Akwude will confirm the drama that happened yesterday and will ask for full cooperation from Quin.
- Some complete statements, recorded videos will be required.
- The insurance company will pay all the losses, so the idiot has to offer the bank account in which the total amount will be transferred... of course, everything will happen at the end of the investigation.
===

07.49 - Directly from Port Harcourt... Akwude to Quin:

Salam, dear customer Quin, may Allah take care of us when the civil authority fails to protect its citizens!
A real tragedy took place here yesterday and unfortunately everything is real; the security team was butchered with knives and their bodies were desecrated in the most barbaric way possible. The driver of the truck was hit in the head with a machete and doctors are skeptical about his real chances of survival; he was put into an induced coma until the inflammation that presses on his brain receded. Mr. Ebier is missing and none of the kidnappers have asked for the reward so far; we are afraid of a fatal outcome in terms of our client's life. I provided the police with all the information needed for the investigation, including all your details. Someone will probably be looking for you to ask for a statement about this tragedy. Our colleagues at Headquarters have been also informed about the tragic event and an internal commission of inquiry will begin to investigate the facts. For the smooth running of the investigation, please cooperate sincerely and honestly. The result of this internal investigation depends on the granting of the insurance premium and the recovery of all the losses. The Sender has paid for the insurance policy, so you will recover everything that was lost; in addition, it is likely that our company will offer reasonable financial compensation in order to avoid a possible subsequent claim from your Church.
Masha' Allah
Akwude

9:03 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

Your message still doesn't make much sense to me. Now the parcel is in "court throug mr. Presly" and his boys "excused the truck". I asked you to explain to me in detail what happened, but you didn't do that and like I said I have too much on my plate right now to deal with the shipping company. Do you have any idea how hectic the situation here is right now? I took some time to come back from the prayer ceremonies to see if there was news about brother Zacharias, who sent me a message yesterday evening. He said he informed you as well.
I forgot to inform you earlier that you can read about his traveling as well on a website so that all the interested believers can see it and pray for him accordingly. He will try to give his updates there whenever he has the chance.
<linky>
From your messages I can see that you understand the situation, but are just unable to explain it well to me. You are capable of communicating with the shipping company so I want you to take on this responsibility and handle this by yourself. It will be one thing less for me to take care of. Please don't forget the robes and the quotations. Even though I will not be responding as quickly, these preparations have to continue.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

[Birlic]

10.40 - Dear reverend Quin answer to Rabee (at PLog headquarter):

Good morning Mr Rabee.
Firstly I don't know you but glory be to God you have confessed that
you are not a believer,Mr Rabee thanks be to God you are still the
First person that asked me if I have received any Goods from Mr
Akwude,before your mail to me,he has already sent mail to me,which I
believe he expected me to acknowledge receipt of what I have not even
seen,God cannot lie,he wanted to clear me from the picture of what
happened by (1) by not allowing me to go carry the load from Mr
Akwude by my self (2) by my knowledge God made me to notice Mr
Akwude's intentions fast for me to notice what Mr Akwude
intentions are immediately l received his mail that sounds as if I
have received any thing from him which I forwarded my reply to you
then when he noticed I have done that he started saying I should not
mind you or the mail he sent to me please I do not know your or the
police procedure of investigation but let Mr Akwude and Mr EBlER the
Man he said owns a Furniture company in Victoria island and also the
driver be you people's first suspects,in a situation like this every
body is a suspect until proven not guilty,so long this Country is
concerned apprehend them now before they run away and also if you
people have details of the man he told me that his goods are to be
dropped in Benin he should also be contacted or reached as to tell you
people his mail or discussions with Mr Akwude before the what you
are telling me happened?for me I ask are you people aware that they
are going to drop any load to me from Port Harcourt and also in Benin
and that he will arrange police spy that will lead them? you people
should act fast with the police before they will be fare off the
police have given you insight/knowledge of what exactly happened, for
me any day or time am invited to come and show proves of his mails to
me and my replies I will be there.
if I may ask where exactly along there way did this happened, is it
before Benin or after Benin please do feel free to be giving me up
dates while I keep responding as for the bereaved God will console
their respective families in the Mighty name of Jesus Amen.
Thanks
Quin

Rabee to Quin:

Dear Sir,
First of all, I want to tell you that our local manager Akwude is out of any suspicion. He is a Muslim believer who is actively involved in the life of society and who has been working with us for over 10 years. He was always a man we could count on in any situation.
My information is that you have been informed about the 3 possibilities to receive your package:
1) Wait for the local team to organize a collective transport of parcels to all customers in the Lagos area.
2) Go to Port Harcourt and pick up the personal package, as did that client Ebier (who is still missing at this time and about whom we know nothing yet. He is probably already dead, thrown somewhere in the bushes).
3) Give your consent for your package to be brought to Lagos, through another customer.
The messages that the local manager sent to us show very clearly that you accepted the 3rd option, implicitly giving your consent for this transport. The fact that those bandits attacked the convoy is not our fault, although we will have to pay for everything in the end.

Thank you for agreeing to cooperate with the Police and our internal investigation team. You will be contacted in the coming days, depending on the first results of the investigation made by the Police.
Rabee

Our boy believes in the existence of the package but has suspicions about the way it "disappeared". This is perfect for us, because we can continue the story and create any kind of scenario we want.

[sparky905]

Perhaps the lad himself can be a suspect? He had some knowledge (though not much) of the actual delivery. This might involve the church sending glowing letters or reference to support his personal integrity and character. It might reinforce his loyalty to the church when he has moments of doubt.
He is looking for details of the incident......hopefully he will not check in with the police himself.

[Linoline]

10:24 Quin to Akwude

Good morning Mr Akwude
how are you doing this morning? based on the fact that you have had a
lot of stresses since yesterday, thanks very much for the up dates, I
have had what you said and will be willing to do exactly as you said
but if I may ask where you able to get photographs of what happened
and where it happened, that of the butchered police men and the
Driver? again your Company's customer in Benin,have you people been
getting in touch with him, what is his take about this,again have you
gotten in touch with Mr EBIER's company? I remember in one of your
mail you mentioned he has been one of your old customers that comes
from Victoria Island to your ware house in port Harcourt, that was one
the things that encouraged me to approve your handing over our load to
him so that I go and pick it up from there am happy is only his email
you gave to me and told me when he gets back to Lagos he will be the
one that will give me both his phone number office address in VI I
never ask you also based on the fact that I believe it was for your
company policy or mode of operations do please keep updating me so to
know what information's i will be giving to the sender thanks and may
God grant you victory over this situation Amen.
Quin.

11:32 Quin to Rabee

Mr Rabee thanks for your response to my mail,note that we are not
talking about Religion or how long someone has worked or served in an
institution my own stand here remains that in situations like this
every one is a suspect to the police until proven other wise,the issue
of my choosing out the options did Mr Akwude make you to understand
that before I choose the option he made me to understand Mr Ebier has
been a long time customer to your Company and that he always comes to
pick things from him there in port Harcourt, if i may ask you remember
is your Apapa port quays office in Lagos I was told he is in charge
of? wellfor your records am forwarding to you his mail to me before I
choose the option of Mr EBIER your customer in Victoria island to
bring it.
Thanks
Quin.

Wow... Birlic is gone for only 2 hours and my head is already spinning from all the different characters that i have to manage now and I don't know anymore who is supposed to know what exactly.... so big chances of screwing up, which is not a good thing. Time to get a few characters out of the mix (only temporarily, if you read this, sorry Birlic, I won't kill any of them )

12:57 Roy Storm from Plog writes to our lad:

Hello Sir,

Please let me introduce myself. I am Roy Storm and I work for the legal department of PLog. I was informed about issues regarding your parcel, number *****.
Our company policy requires that I will handle all the communications about this matter. There will no longer be communication between you and any of our staff members. I will compile a file about what has happened and make sure that everything is properly investigated. For now I will be your only contact at PLog and I promise you to do my very best to help you.
We have hired a private investigator who will do all his research in Nigeria and he reports back to me. Any information relevant to you, you will receive. Your parcel has been insured by the sender so at the end of all the investigations we will send all evidence to the head of our legal department who will make sure that everything will be properly compensated.
What I need from you right now, in order to make the whole situation clear for me is a elaborate recapitulation of all the events that happened from the moment that your parcel was sent up until today. Don't leave any details out, everything can be of importance to the investigation. I have requested this information from all persons involved.

Kind regards
Roy Storm

There... the characters I need to play are suddenly reduced to 3. That makes baiting a lot easier and the lad won't notice any change in writing style of Birlic's characters.

On the church side of the story:

11:07 Quin to Sister Dave

Dear sister Dave
Good morning and God Bless you and entire <SNIPPED> Congregation, we are
also praying for Chancellor Ed over here and believe the Holy Lamb
will take control over this situation we are facing right now for I
know it is a great concern to any were that <SNIPPED> is having an out
reach Branch in the whole world ,for the issue of me to take charge of
dealing with Presly and his men,I have been following them through
emails,but what they are saying concerning the robbery to the truck
conveying the goods from Port Harcourt to Lagos is what I don't
understand, I am only forwarding their mails and updates to so that
you will know I have not yet received any parcel from them also I do
forward them so that at your spare moment you could go through them,
the issues of the website to monitor brother Zacharias movement and be
in constant prayer for him on his journey through out the pilgrimage
travel to us here I have seen and send my own prayers this means it
might take him up to one month?, I will call a prayer meeting section
today Friday in the evening so every one of my followers will pray
through my android phone since most of them do not have such phone, we
write each ones name on his prayer point,the issues of the Robe I
still have it in mind thinking I would have received the parcel by now
am stocked on the cross roads in this case for now because considering
my health I do not need any situation that will make me to start
having much thinking as that might make my blood pressures to rise
more.
thanks and remain blessed by the Holy Lamb
Brother Quin.

11:39 Quin to Zach

Dear brother Zacharias good morning how was your night hope you are OK
may the Holy lamb guide and protect you throughout this journey we are
all praying for your arrival remain blessed brother Quin

Meanwhile he found the weblog and posted a few comments there.

13:19 Sister Dave to Quin

Dear brother Quin,

Thank you for your message and thank you for your prayers. It is the Lord who does the work, but our prayers are a sweet smell to him and a song to His ears. The power of prayer is greater than any of us can comprehend.

About brother Zacharias, I do not know exactly how long it will take him to reach you, but please try to stay calm until he gets to you and not let your blood pressure rise too much. He has the medications with him and he knows they are important to you.

I have received a message from PLog that the parcel has been stolen during an armed robbery and they have asked me to prepare a statement about all the events from the day I have sent it until today. I will make sure to get it to them, because it is important that the insurance will pay out as soon as possible. This is a setback for your parish, but only a temporary one and I believe that the Holy Lamb will solve this issue.

Father Ed has been intubated this morning and is being held in a state of medicine induced coma. His heart was too weak and breathing on his own was not possible any longer. We have brothers and sisters alternately at his bed for as much of the time as possible. I want to ask you to please make video's of your prayer ceremony this evening and send it to us so that I can play them at father Ed's bedside when there is nobody available to sit with him and pray. The doctors are convinced that he can still hear us. We can also share the video's during our service on Sunday to show to the people that you are a devoted parish and you will be an example to us all. It will encourage us all to be allied in this way during hard times.

Be blessed
Sister Dave

[sparky905]

I like how Mr Storm suddenly appears and handles all communication.....well done! Simplifies things immensely. Too bad he can't say much without compromising an investigation.........
Why would PLog hand out personal contact info to the lad? Without written authorisation from the person, that info must be withheld. This poor lad is not having a good experience is he?
