Best Friends Forever
I'm fighting fire with fire. Cliff claims Harry is a great pal and then hits him up for $2000. I'm having Harry claim Cliff tNES is his best friend. I also pan to send him a letter asking him to send African dolls to sell to Harry's bowling buddies. But first the friends junk:

>Cliff,
>I'm not sure you understood my last email. You asked me for what
>amounted to a loan and I told you that I am waiving the shipping
>costs for you. My wife and I would like that to be our gift to you
>and your lovely wife and family on the occasion of the birth of you
>youngest son, Micheal Daniel Harry.
>From what I gathered from Raymond, who is back at work, that amounts
>to just over three thousand dollars. I don’t think I can find any
>way to gather up another $2000 to wire to you. I’m sorry. I just
>can’t do it.
>I asked my boss about wiring you the money and billing it to you
>plus some sort of service fee but he flatly refused. He is very
>sensitive about our transaction and takes every opportunity he can
>get to tell me as much.
>Honestly, he’s making me a bit leery of our transaction. I hate to
>say that, but he’s been going on and on about how suspicious it is
>that you refuse to provide a credit card number even after the goods
>have been shipped, yet you keep asking for a second shipment.
>I explained to him what you told me about only wanting one charge on
>your credit card. That seemed to make sense to him, but he said to
>make sure I get your credit card number before the second shipment
>goes out or he’ll take the entire amount for both shipments out of
>my pay should anything happen.
>I doubt that anything adverse will happen. I do trust you. I feel I
>know you so well just from our email interactions and you seem like
>a very good man and a good Christian.
>Still, if you would please, could you send your credit card
>information BEFORE the phones are shipped? You will only receive one
>charge on the card for the combined shipments minus shipping for the
>first, larger, shipment.
>If you remember the first shipment was $1175. That is for the 84
>toasters and one phone. The next batch, the four phones, will be
>$2300. That includes shipping and handling and a gift of diapers
>from my wife and I.
>If my wife can scare up some money we’ll send another gift for your
>older son, but truthfully things are a little tight for us now. We
>just married off our only daughter and she and her “husband” were
>quite liberal spenders when planning their wedding. I think I also
>mentioned the ordeal we went through with Bobby, our youngest - the
>one I sent you a picture of. I keep that picture on my computer’s
>desktop at work because that is the way I like to remember him,
>young and innocent. As he got older he seemed to grow more and more
>wild and just recently we had to re-mortgage our home to pay for a
>lawyer for him. He got into a bit of trouble embezzling money from
>the nursing home where he was an orderly.
>I don’t know how an orderly could have absconded away with over
>$75,000. That’s why I agreed to do everything I could to maintain
>his innocence, but lately I’ve began to have my doubts about him.
>He’s not exactly walking the straight and narrow and I’ve more than
>once gotten drunken calls from him at the casino asking for a ride
>home.
>Did you know you can use credit cards at casinos now days? It’s a
>terrible trap if you ask me, and it seems one my son has run into.
>Please take my advice and pray to god every day that you sons don’t
>ever fall into the trap of getting rich quick. Honest, hard work is
>the best way to go. Teach them that will you, Cliff?
>When are you going to send the picture of Micheal? The wife is
>really bothering me about that. I don’t know who is bothering me
>more, my wife about the pictures and you visiting or my boss about
>the credit card number.
>Cliff – I want you to know that you are quickly becoming my most
>trusted confidant. It’s not that I don’t have friends here in the
>US. I do. Plenty. I’m out with them nearly every night. It’s just
>that I don’t feel I can share with them the way I can share with
>you. When I write you things I get the distinct impression you are
>genuinely concerned with what I have to say and you respond with
>helpful advice. I want to thank you for being such a good friend,
>Cliff.
>
>Ok, Good Friend Cliff, I have a box of phones and diapers ready to
>go (Although I haven’t sealed it just in case my wife comes by the
>shop with some goodies for the kids). I am just waiting for you
>credit card number. Once I receive it I will ship the box (to your
>company address) and give you the tracking number.
>
>Your Best Friend,
>Harry
>
>PS I don't know what Yahoo Massager is. Explain.
