Anatomy Of A New York Newspaper Eating Crow

I'm sure you've all heard of the recent scandal in New York where the Governor (Eliot Spitzer, Democrat) was caught up in a call girl ring, but there was another scandal before that in which the Governor's political rival, State Senate majority leader Joe Bruno (Republican) found out that Governor Spitzer was using the State Police to spy on him:

"I've been in government 31 years and I've never experienced anything like this," said Bruno. "I was stunned to learn Governor Spitzer is using the fine men and women of the New York State Police to conduct surveillance on me," Bruno said. "This should send shivers up the spine of every New Yorker."


In the meantime, Bruno was also accused of abusing taxpayer funded transportation. Naturally Bruno was denying that.

A July 6 2007 excerpt from the NY Daily News editorial:

"Clear away the smoke being blown by Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno over his blatant abuse of taxpayer-funded transportation, and it all boils down to this: He wants to act like a jerk, live like a king - and not be held accountable for any of it."


Of course, the Governor and his aides hotly denied the accusation against him, but still it resulted in an investigation by the Albany DA, David Soares, whose investigation exonerated Spitzer.

The NY Daily News, being a pro-Democrat newspaper (though they didn't endorse Spitzer's candidacy for Governor), was overjoyed and immediately printed the following September 23rd 2007 editorial, titled "Anatomy Of A Smear":


The verdict is in. At last, the "Troopergate" so-called scandal is certified as a gigantic fraud perpetrated on the public by state Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno.

Having penetrated the intense smoke blown by Bruno, Albany District Attorney David Soares concluded in an authoritative, fact-based report that Gov. Spitzer committed no crimes, did not spy on the senator, did not conspire with aides to smear Bruno and, most important, did not engage in a coverup or lie about anything whatsoever.

Soares' retelling of the events that triggered no less than three investigations and Bruno's endlessly hyped accusations of wrongdoing lead to the conclusion that the only one who did wrong in this affair was Bruno. As the state Ethics Commission in effect concluded, the senator exploited absurdly lax rules to fly around the state on the taxpayers' dime to political events.

That was the true scandal, and those were the facts that Spitzer's aides provided to an enterprising reporter from the Albany Times Union. Caught red-handed misusing state police aircraft, Bruno turned the world on its head with charges that Spitzer had created a police state. State Attorney General Andrew Cuomo quickly found no criminality, but he fueled Bruno's smoke by issuing a report without questioning two key Spitzer aides.

But now Soares has nicely detailed the behind-the-scenes story, including the revealing fact that Spitzer ordered his aides not to refer to Bruno's use of aircraft to investigators. According to Soares, Spitzer correctly felt Bruno was operating within the overly porous rules then in effect. He also wanted to avoid a "distraction" in budget negotiations. So much for a get-Bruno plot directed from the top.

Despite the evidence, Bruno seems determined to beat this dead horse. He intimates with absolutely no justification that, maybe, Soares didn't get to the bottom of things. And he has pinned his hope of vindication on the last remaining probe, an inquiry by the Ethics Commission. He shouldn't hold his breath.

Having wasted everybody's time, he should cancel his half-million-dollar contract with a hit man lawyer. And then he should get down to the business of state government, perhaps explaining why on earth New Yorkers should keep his Republicans in charge of the state Senate. Does he have an agenda beyond ginning up unfounded investigations? Not so far as anyone can see right now.


Well.............not so fast.

Now, as it is turning out, Soares had engaged in a cover up, a whitewash. His investigation wasnt worth the paper it was printed on. And neither was the editorial printed by the NY Daily News.

It is being discovered that Spitzer DID have the State Police spy on Bruno, as well as ordered his aides to release a smear campaign, accusing Bruno of misusing public transportation, etc.

From the March 24, 2008 editorial by the New York Post:

Disgraced ex-Gov. Eliot Spitzer was up to his neck in his administration's dirty tricks aimed at discrediting State Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno.....Spitzer ordered senior aides to release potentially damning information, The New York Times reported. Spitzer has adamantly denied involvement....But, according to the DA's report, he even called former aide Darren Dopp at home to check on his progress in carrying out the orders. Dopp said he warned Spitzer that Bruno would be angry - but the then-governor dismissed the alert, getting so furious, he turned red and spit out the coffee he was drinking, according to the report. "He was spitting mad," Dopp reportedly said.


From the March 25 NY Post:

From the moment last July when State Editor Fred Dicker broke the story that the State Police - at the direction of then-Gov. Spitzer's office - began detailed surveillance of Senate Majority Leader Joe Bruno, one question has remained: What did Spitzer know - and when did he know it? Now, comes a front-page NY Times report confirming nearly every exclusive broken by The Post's Albany bureau. That puts the lie to the whitewash report issued last September by Albany DA David Soares......... Attorney General Andrew Cuomo certainly came close to the real story. His bombshell report concluded that key Spitzer aides had the State Police cook up documents implicating Bruno. Cuomo also concluded that Team Spitzer then lured a credulous newspaper, The Albany Times-Union, into using the documents to smear Bruno. In contrast to Soares, Cuomo managed to find all this out, even though Dopp and Baum refused to answer any of his questions.


Note that part again:
key Spitzer aides had the State Police cook up documents implicating Bruno. Cuomo also concluded that Team Spitzer then lured a credulous newspaper, The Albany Times-Union, into using the documents to smear Bruno


Here is the NY Times report:

An excerpt:

Former Gov. Eliot Spitzer was deeply involved in his administration’s efforts last year to discredit the State Senate majority leader, Joseph L. Bruno, holding detailed discussions with senior aides, ordering damaging information about Mr. Bruno released, and calling an aide at home repeatedly to check on the progress, according to several people with direct knowledge of the investigation.

The governor has previously said he was not personally involved in the effort, suggesting only that he was vaguely aware that his aides had responded to a reporter’s inquiry about Mr. Bruno’s travels on state aircraft.

But testimony and other information gathered by the Albany County district attorney, P. David Soares, indicate that the governor’s participation was extensive and reflected Mr. Spitzer’s intense desire to damage Mr. Bruno, the people with knowledge of the case said.


-snip

The effort to tarnish Mr. Bruno was the first major blunder of Mr. Spitzer’s first term. A report by the attorney general, Andrew M. Cuomo, on July 23 said that the Spitzer administration had improperly used the State Police to assemble records on Mr. Bruno’s flights. Mr. Spitzer apologized, placed Mr. Dopp on indefinite unpaid leave, and said he would not tolerate such behavior.

But according to the people with knowledge of the investigation, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the inquiry is not over, Mr. Dopp described a meeting he had with Mr. Spitzer just before releasing the records assembled on Mr. Bruno to a reporter from The Times Union of Albany.

Around June 25 or June 26, Mr. Dopp told prosecutors, he first met with Richard Baum, the governor’s chief of staff, who told Mr. Dopp that the governor wanted the records on Mr. Bruno released to the media. “Eliot wants you to release the records,” Mr. Baum told him.

But Mr. Dopp, mindful of the political war that would erupt between the governor’s office and Mr. Bruno, hesitated and decided to check with the governor.

He told the governor that Mr. Bruno would be furious, according to people familiar with his account. Mr. Spitzer responded with expletives about Mr. Bruno and belligerently dismissed the warning.

The governor was so angry, Mr. Dopp recalled, that he turned red and spit out coffee he was sipping as he directed him to release the records immediately. “As he was saying it, he was spitting a little bit,” Mr. Dopp said. “He was spitting mad.”


And here is todays, March 29th editorial from the NY Post:

What is obvious, of course, is that Soares sought to whitewash the affair all along.

That's why he never had Spitzer testify under oath.

That's why he rushed out with a report in September claiming everything was hunky-dory with the gov and his people.

That's why, to this day, he is declining to pursue criminal charges - for perjury, suborning perjury, obstruction of justice, issuing false statements or anything else - in this affair.

Indeed, were Spitzer not gone from office, Soares might never have produced even the soft-pedaling, incomplete findings he released yesterday.

Soares would never have gone after his old ally - even to the limited extent he did in this report - were Spitzer still in a position to hurt him.

So much for backbone.

Soares' behavior has been a travesty.


Of course, the New York Daily News has had little, if anything, to say about their gullibility, being taken in way back last summer by the Soares cover up (Nor has the Albany Times-Union said anything, at least that I know of, about being used by the Governors office to help spread the smear of Joe Bruno).

For the New York Daily News, here's a bunch of recipes for eating crow:

UPDATE:

#################################################

A Press Release by Joe Bruno:

FOR RELEASE: Immediate, Friday, March 28, 2008
http://www.senate.state.ny.us

STATEMENT BY SENATE MAJORITY LEADER JOSEPH L. BRUNO

The report released today by the Albany County District Attorney’s
Office confirms what I have been saying all along, that former Governor
Eliot Spitzer lied to the people of this State about his direct knowledge
and involvement in the Troopergate scandal; that he was obsessed with
conducting a political “hit job” to damage me personally and politically;
and that the administration enlisted favored members of the news media,
principally the Albany Times Union to carry out their plot.

The report represents a turnaround from the District Attorney’s
report issued last September that cleared the Governor of any wrongdoing.
That report was done after a so-called “investigation” in which the DA did
not place anyone under oath and was clearly issued as cover for
then-Governor Spitzer and his administration.

I feel it was a serious mistake not to present this information to a
grand jury and proceed with a prosecution, as there is clearly evidence of
criminal conduct.

I urge Governor Paterson to take appropriate action against those
involved in the plot and cover-up, and who should not continue to represent
him and the Executive Chamber.

This scandal was a blatant abuse of government power. This time it
was aimed at me. However, these abuses should present a concern to all New
Yorkers. It also illustrates the importance of having checks and balances
in State government and avoiding one-party rule and power.

While we will continue to move forward with measures to address some
of the legislative issues raised by this scandal, this report sheds more
light on a sad and disgraceful chapter in New York State history and on a
Governor who clearly had his priorities wrong and, as I said so often,
lacked the temperament to govern.

UPDATE 2:

A March 27 article by Michael Aronson, NY Daily News columnist and editorial board member:

"Spitzer's latest lies are just par for a very long course"

It surprised me little that Eliot Spitzer misled his family and constituents about his use of prostitutes - or, as we now learn, that he hid his involvement in the Troopergate scandal.

I've known for 10 years that Spitzer's a liar. And one with a white-hot temper, as well.


-snip

Over the years, I had dealings with Spitzer but I was always mindful of his lack of candor.

In late 2004, as Spitzer was preparing to kick off his run for governor, I checked the old 1994 promissory note. And sure enough, the loan from Dad was reaching the end of its 10-year term, so I called to find out if he had fully repaid his father.

After anger for my questioning, at first he said he had. When I pressed for proof, he didn't have any. A few days later, hecalled to say that to take the matter off the table he just sold more than $4million in municipal bonds to fully repay his father. At tax time in 2005, just to be sure, I asked for proof of his big bond sale. An aide faxed me Spitzer's tax returns.

I didn't believe him until I was holding the proof. It was needed because his word was worthless.




Where was this skepticism back in September?

UPDATE 3:

New, March 30 article from the New York Post, with the following graphic:

D.A. 'COVER-UP': RIPPED ON SPITZER-PROBE FLIP

Flip-flopping Albany District Attorney David Soares was blasted yesterday for "a second cover-up" because his new report on the Dirty Tricks Scandal left many key questions unanswered.

Soares, whose first report on Sept. 21 falsely found that then-Gov. Eliot Spitzer wasn't part of the plot to use the State Police against Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno, conceded in the second report that not only was Spitzer involved, but that the DA may have sought Spitzer's removal from office if the disgraced ex-governor hadn't resigned March 12 in the wake of a high-priced-hooker scandal.

Dear Miss Rita Kone,

My name is Dr. Marcus Welby. I am a colleague of Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein at the Lovenstein Institute. I am afraid to say that Dr. Lovenstein has been arrested and charged by the authoritites for the crime of child molestation. To put it more bluntly, he has been diddling little boys.

It seems that he has been doing this for quite some time. Using his position as a Doctor to get close to little kids. Plying them with candy and money, and then having sex with them. When the parents found out, Dr. Lovenstein has bought their silence using funds that he embezzled from his own institute.

As it turned out, he has a past record of this from when he was a juvenile. It all started way back when he was 16 years old. He was caught and sentenced to 6 years in prison. But because he was a juvenile (under the age of 18), his sentence was reduced to two years, and after his release, his conviction was expunged from the official record.

We were all in great shock as you can well imagine.

The Lovenstein Institute Board of Directors have named me as Dr. Lovenstein's replacement and I have appointed accountants to go over the institutes financial records to see what was stolen and where did he spend it. So far they have managed to account for almost everything except for the sum of $350,000 which is still missing. I visited Dr. Lovenstein in jail and he refused to tell me the location of this missing money.

I am doing everything possible to prevent this news from being reported in the press. Failing that, I will be trying to save the good image of the Lovenstein Institute. That being said, I wish to continue the business deal you had with Dr. Lovenstein so that there will be no hard feelings from you. I hope that this is ok with you.

Please tell me what I have to do and what you need from me.

Thanks so much,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

Dear Miss Kone,

I am telling you the absolute truth. I wish all of this wasn't true. I wish all of this was not happening. But it is. It's all true.

I have additional bad news. Dr. Lovenstein tried to escape from jail, somehow he stole a car and was chased by the police off the side of a hill. He crashed and died. I am filled with nothing but grief. I can barely type this letter, I am so sad. He was my best friend and mentor for over 20 years. Attached are a couple of newspaper clipping proofs that I obtained from the Scranton Newspaper (the editor is a friend of mine) that mentions more of this story.

I think that it is in the best interest of the Lovenstein Institute to continue this transaction that you had with Dr. Lovenstein. I have a photo to send you as you require (a couple of photos of me and Dr. Lovenstein, both with and without my beard), but I do not have a scan of my passport handy right now. I will get that scanned and then send that to you in a later email.

My contact number is the same as it was for Dr. Lovenstein (44 XXXXXXXXX). I now have his office, and his phone number assigned to me. We are being deluged with calls, and as a result, I may have to change it. If I do that, I will give you the new number.

Thanks so much, Miss Kone.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Dear Barrister Johnson Coulibari,

My name is Dr. Marcus Welby. You might not know me, but you might know a Dr. Werner R. Lovenstein. He is, or I should say was, my colleague here at the Lovenstein Institute. He was an acquaintance of Rita Kone, and as I understand it, prepared to go into business with Miss Kone. However, those plans were waylaid when Dr. Lovenstein was arrested and charged with 26 counts of child molestation. A day or two after that, he tried to escape from jail and died while being chased by the police when his car went over an embankment.

I am taking you into my confidence when discussing this because I am trying to save the good image of the Institute. So I hope you will keep all of this information confidential.

Anyways, as I was saying, I took it upon myself to contact Miss Rita Kone and continue this business transaction as scheduled because I did not want Miss Kone to have any hard feelings towards the Institute.

My details are as follows:

My phone number and fax number are the same. Country code 44 07092812628

BANKING DETAILS

Account no. 7442896439-84

Account holders name Dr. Marcus Welby

Bank name South Wok Bank

Bank address

1224 South St

Philadelphia, PA

Bank fax No. 215-XXX-XXXX

Bank phone No. 215-XXX-XXXX

My passport is attached.

Thank you,

Dr. Marcus Welby

________________________

Dear Barrister,

I'm sending the money "restricted delivery", That means you can only pick up the money at a specified location. Pus, the transaction won't be trackable online (after all, it is a secret transaction we are dealing in here) and as a result, the transaction wont be posted online. I thought that was probably a good idea to make sure that you got it.

I will be sending it here:

ECOBANK COTE D'IVOIRE

Head Office Branch

Avenue Terrason de Fougère

01 B.P. 4107 Abidjan 01

Tél: (225) 20.21.10.41

Fax: (225) 20.21.88.16

Télex: 22504 ECOBNK CI / 23266 ECOBNK CI

I will try to send it on Monday morning. If I can't, I will send it on Tuesday morning.

Thanks so much,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

____________________________________________



Email sent to the Ecobank branch in Abidjan:

To whom it may concern,

A man named Rev. Alexander Peter, will be coming to the following branch on Monday morning.

Head Office Branch

Avenue Terrason de Fougères

Télex: 22504 ECOBNK CI / 23266 ECOBNK CI

If he isn't there on Monday, he will be there on Tuesday morning. He will be stopping by to pick up 1,500 Euros from Dr. Marcus Welby at Western Union. Only thing is that the money won't be there because it was never sent. The man coming to pick up the money is a Nigerian 419 scammer. Be sure to get lots of photographs of him and get his identification.

S'il isn't là lundi, il sera là mardi matin. Il cessera près de prendre 1.500 Euros de Dr. Marcus Welby à l'union occidentale. Seulement la chose est que l'argent won't soit là parce qu'il n'a été jamais envoyé. L'homme venant pour prendre l'argent est un scammer du nigérien 419.

PLEASE DOCTOR MARCUS WRITE TO ME A.S.A.P. AND PROVIDE ME ANSWERS TO ALL THESE QUESTIONS.SO THAT I WILL WHERE ARE I AM GOING TO.


I AM STOPPING HERE TILL I HEAR FROM YOU TODAY.

THANKS ANS GOD BLESS YOU.

MISS RITA.

___________________________________________



Hi Rita,

Sorry for the delay, but running the institute has taken alot of my time.I thought that maybe you could move in with me. We can share a room. My wife wouldn't like it, but she doesn't like anything I do.

Your attorney has sent different instructions to me which has confused me. I tried to send it Western Union, and then he turns around and tells me to send it directly to his account. He said that I "rejected" sending it through Western Union, which wasn't the case. I had already sent it Western Union.

After this new wrinkle in this transaction, I went to the Board of Directors, and they said that they had major doubts about this transaction. I asked them for the money to complete this transaction, and they complained that you haven't shown any good faith towards the institute. That the Institute is putting up all this money for you on your behalf, and you're not even a member of the institute. I asked them that if you were a member, would they then allow me to send the money to your lawyer. They said definitely. Yes.

So, I need to make you a member of the institute. I hope you don't have any objections. If not I'll send you by email the requirements for you to sign up. Don't worry. It's pretty simple and you don't have to stay a member after I send your lawyer the money.

In any case, if you recall I told you something about $350,000 dollars missing from the Institutes accounts. And that Dr. Lovenstein, just before he died, said it was hidden under a "big W" in Santa Rosita Park. Well, I've just found out the location of the money, but I haven't told anyone about it. I'm the only one who now knows this information and I do not know what to do with the money.

I have attached a photograph of the location, of where it is hidden in the park.



Later on, I'm going to go dig it up. I've already bought a pick and a shovel from the hardware store and dig up that money. But once I got it, I do not know what to spend it on. If you have any ideas, let me know.

As for what schools you should go to, I was thinking of Harvard, or Princeton, or Yale. You write very well for a secondary school drop out, so I think you would fit right in one of those schools.

As for business ventures, I was thinking of you to invest in Enron, Pioneer Aviation, or in Automotive stocks like Edsel.

Thanks,

Dr. Marcus Welby

Lovenstein Institute, Chairman

__________________________________________



Dear Miss Kone,

I am not telling you any stories. Dr. Lovenstein is indeed deceased. If he isn't dead, then why isn't he emailing you? Because he's long gone.

I realize that you wanted to do business with Dr. Lovenstein originally, but he is dead. And I now have his job. So now you have to deal with me and the Board of Directors.

And yes, I will gladly help you out in your transaction.

And dont you dare talk to me the way you have. Otherwise you will force me to spank you, you naughty girl.

Thanks,

Dear Miss Kone,

I have looked through Dr. Lovenstein's old records and papers, and I cannot find any mention of Mr. Ububuka or Mr. Mason. So, I do not think that they are old acquaintances of him.

I have placed the Western Union receipt away. I will have to get that scanned. Unable to do that right now due to other concerns. As soon as my hands are free, I will have it scanned and sent to you.

No, your Barrister, Mr. Coulibari did not ask me to make payment to those guys. Here are his exact instructions to me:

________________________

However as you have rejected sending the money through

the western union,for proper accountability

reasons,you are therefore instructed to send this

__________________________

I should have listened to him and made payment that way instead of Western Union.

I too am confused. I am wondering where the payment went. Because the Western Union offices are closed right now, I will not be able to check untill they are open.

Do me a big favor and keep the lines of communication open with Mr Ububuka. I gave you his email address (ububuka@XXXXXXX). Contact him, and try to find out who he is, where he is, how he got the money, what he did with it, etc. And then turn that information over to me.

Hello my friend Johnson,
I sorry that I not answer your email but I got a job and was busy. I answer your questions:

The Governor of New York is George Pataki. The Mayor of New York is Michael Bloomberg. I play Cello in orchestra. It is not easy to get hired in orchestra. I audition for job. I play my cello for them and if they like me how I sound, then they hire me. Yes, playing cello is my job. It is good work and it pays very good.

Yes the temperature changes everyday. But only by a few degrees. Sometimes its 86 degrees and the next day it is only 84 degrees. It is during the winter months that the temperature drops to freezing.

I would like to see your picture very much (with you holding sign that has my name on it).

Thanks,
Won Dum Phuc

Lowbridge Scambaiting The 419 Email Scammers (FRANKLIN DUBE)

FROM:FRANKLIN DUBE{JNR)
ATTN: A REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE ON BUSINESS TRANSACTION


I got your contact through the South African Trade and Business Information Service through a very reliable friend of mine who introduce your capability,personality and business addresses to me.I am Mr FRANKLIN DUBE(JNR)the eldest son of Major Johnny Dube,the former military head of state of Republic of Sierra Leone.


My father was involved in the plot to overthrow the president,Tejan Ahmed Kabba.He among others was found gluity by then special Militry Tribunal.The government seized all my father`s properties and assets.When the West African peacekeeping forces (ECOMOG) arrived we escaped to South Africa where we sought for and were granted asylum in South Africa.

My main purpose of contacting you is to solicit for your assistance to transfer this fund.Recently,while I was going through my father`s documents(files)I discovered that there are some amount of money which was generated from the sales of my country treasure which is DIAMOND amounting to US$48.5million(FOURTY EIGHT MILLION FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS)which he secretly deposited with a private security company here in South Africa in coded cash. My family has mandated me to secretly contact with a foreign partner that is reliable and trustworthy so that we can pay in this money into his account for onward transfer out South Africa.

Our resolution to use a foreigner outside is due to my father`s name,which may attract attention and result in the seizure of this money.Moreover,the present civilian government of Tejan kabba has frozen all accounts overseas owned by the coup leaders.I have in my position all the documents with which the money will be easily transferred to your account overseas.My lawyer has promised to assist me to move this money as soon as we can have the necessary contact that is reliable and trustworthy.

Since I got your contact through the information servicehere, I believe that you will meet our standard and that you will not take advantage of my situation.It may be necessary for you to furnish me with your bank details (either private or company`s account)where this money will be deposited or come to South Africa to open a Remittance Account(Non-Resident Accountin your name or that of your company where we pay in this money before it can be transferred to your account overseas and the conclusion of this transaction.


Immediately this money is confirmed to be in your account,my mother and I will come over to your country to invest it.We urgently need your sincere co operation.Be assured that the transfer of this money into your account will be in a matter of days going by the assurance of my lawyer.I assure you that nobody knows about this transaction except my mother,the lawyer and myself.


In appreciation for your effort and assistance,I have worked out the sharing ratio for this transaction as follows:70%for my investement under your close supervision anddirection,25%for your efforts and we shall set aside 5% for all incidntal expenses. We are looking up to your assistance and I know you will not fail us. As soon as you get this message,reply me on the above-mentioned E-mail address for further clarifications on this transaction.


Be free to assist me for this transaction is very risk free on your personality going by the assurance and the help of my lawyer.


Yours faitfully


FRANKLIN DUBE(JNR)

Dear Dr. Frankenstein,

I do not understand the nature of your last email. Do business with you? I need to know where I am supposed to send the funds for the sporting goods, for the team. We already hashed this out before. We signed the agreements and everything.

Now I am still waiting on you to fulfill your part of the contract.

FROM:DR. FRANK,


ATTN: Al Bundy,

How are you? I hope you are okay? I am very sorry for my late reply. here are the account information where you will send the money through, and after sending the money, I want you to send the payment slip to me immediately to enable me confirm the payment has been made.

The account information are as follows:

ACCOUNT NAME: S.L WORA

ACCOUNT NO: 996165

BANK NAME: ABSA

BRANCH CODE: 537155

SWIFT CODE: ABSAZAJJ.

Kindly make the payment and get back to me with the payment slip by scanning.

Best regards,

DR. FRANK.

_____________________________________________

Dear Dr. Frankenstein,

No problem about the reply. Thanks for the account information, but we are still waiting for you to fulfill your side of the bargain with a photograph of the sporting team to whom the funds will be used for.

I am resending the company's specific instructions for this photograph. After I have received the photograph (send it here to my email address) and submitted it to the board for confirmation, then I will be able to get the authorization from the company CEO to transfer the funds to you.

Instructions below:

There must be at least 20 athletes in the photo.

Each and every athlete in the photo must hold a sign that reads the name of the company:

_______________________

LOWBRIDGERULES


_______________________


ALL athletes in the photo must be holding a sign. That means if you have 20 athletes in the photograph, you must have 20 signs. One sign for each athlete.

I hope you understand the requirement of this photograph. The reason for this photo is that I will submit it to the board of directors for aproval to move forward with the funding.

Please make sure that the signs in the photo can be clearly read, and that the photo is large and very clear. Small or unclear images will be rejected by the board, and a new photo will have to be commissioned. So please let's not make any mistakes with the first one.

Once the photo is taken, and you are ready to scan and send it, please follow these scanning isntructions:


*** SCANNING INSTRUCTIONS ***


1. Set the scanning software to scan at a MINIMUM resolution of 200 DPI (Dots Per Inch) then scan in your original photograph.

2. Once the photograph has been successfully scanned, resize the photograph to approximately 1,000 (one thousand) pixels in WIDTH.


3. Save the image as a JPG image but be sure to make the JPG compression set to a minimum. If the image has the compression set too high the result will be a blocky and unclear image. Blocky or blurry images will be REJECTED.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask them.


Thanks,
Al Bundy

FROM: DR. FRANK


ATTN: Al Bundy,


Compliments of the day. How are you? I hope all is okay? Thanks for your mail with content well understood. I hereby scanning the photo of the team/ athletes for you as you requested, I am looking forwards to receive the payment slip from you and I hope this will be okay for you and the board of directors? Let us finish and finalize this, as there is no time.


Best regards,

Dr. Frank,



_________________________________


Dear Dr Frankenstein,

I submitted your photo to the board, and they are unhappy with it.

There are two things wrong with it.

1) None of the athlete's are holding up the sign of the company. In order for the company to properly sponsor the team, we will need that photo.

ALL athletes in the photo must be holding a sign. That means if you have 20 athletes in the photograph, you must have 20 signs. One sign for each athlete.

Each and every athlete in the photo must hold a sign that reads the name of the company:


_______________________

LOWBRIDGERULES


_______________________


The signs dont have to be professionally made. You can use handmade signs. Just as long as they can be seen and clearly read in the photograph.


2) The photo is not clear enough. Again, it doesnt have to be professionally made, but it must not look as bad as the one you sent me. Remember: Unclear or blocky images will be rejected by the board.


Now, we need the correct photo for the company. Otherwise the board will look for another team to sponsor, and I have had high hopes for our team.

By the way, I completely understand that you train different teams on different days, so the team in the photo that you have sent me does not need to be in the next photograph. You may use the photo of a different team. But again, ALL team members in the photo must be holding a sign that reads the name of the company.

Please understand. The opening ceremony at the Olympics have just started, and we need that photo before the end of the Olympics.

After I get the correct photo, then the company will certify me to release all the funds to you.


I thank you for your patience in this matter.

Sincerely,
Al Bundy

Attn.: Al Bundy,

How are you today? I hope all is moving well? I am very sorry for my late reply, I was very busy. The photos of the athletes are ready, but I am a little bit confused based on the company name you are requesting. Do you mean to use the name that you send to me on the mail, which is: LOWBRIDGERULES, or should I use the company name that I am using which is: VODACOM, my athletes team is using VODACOM COMPNAY and that is what is printed on their Jessie, so clarify me properly as to enable me send you the photos by tomorrow for you to hurry up for the payment, and also as I don't have time left.


Waiting for your urgent answer.
