Trouble with the Money Transfer
Dr Oil and his Friends are having trouble getting the money from Western Union.
Merideth replies with a frantic email.
- Ken -
That is the number I gave you.
I can't understand why it would be giving problems. My name is Merideth Zdenka and is the name I used.
Perhaps because the telegram wasn't picked up for a few days the company has taken the money, or something like that.
I don't know for sure, I have never sent a telegram before this one. I am sure I did it correctly, though. The woman at the desk was very helpful and walked me through every step.
I hope she is back when I go tomorrow.
I will go tomorrow and let you know immediately what the woman says and how we will resolve what seems to be an error.

> Your apology is accepted but you have to realise that we really need to put a close on this. My superiors in the office have been worried that we are not getting the necessary feedbacks from you as and when due. Please note that we want to finalise with your payments as quickly as possible and that further delays would not be welcomed.

> Now to the western union MTCN (769-688-6594) you just sent to me, we are still having problems as we have tracked this order with western union online via their website to check the status/availability and the message we get is "W0131 We do not have an order with the provided information. Please verify your information and click Check Status". Please check the receipts you have with you for this order and verify that the MTCN (769-688-6594) you gave me is correct, also confirm if it was with the names MERIDETH ZDENKA that you used in sending the amount.

> If all these information are correct and as written on the western union receipt, then I suggest you call western union on 1-800-325-6000 right away and speak with a Customer Service Representative to put the order right. Or you can go back to the lady at the Big KMart's wetern union desk to put things in order so Mr. Smith can go ahead and do the pick up to allow us effect your payments.

Man, this Nigerian e-mail scammer is all business! Where are the invitations to visit him? stories about his wife? African dolls? I don't think he really *cares* about Meat

Yeah, he makes me feel like he's only after Meat's money.
I do not think that is cool at all.
