a mistake on my part

Dear Mr Lord Porch,

My apologies, I fear that may have been a mistake on my part. Having sent the money my next port of call was the Spar next door and I wrote a shopping list on the Money Gram receipt and that may have confused things.
I have had a closer look and it is indeed 8 numbers, the 01 at the end can be ignored, it was actually the first 2 letters of “Olive oil”.
Has the money not been delivered yet? Do let me know and I shall return to the Post Office and ask Mr McDonald what is going on.

Kind Regards,
Ethel

oops – a schoolboy error with the reference number

Attn: Ethel Trellis,

Please kindly check the Money Gram reference number you sent to me and reconfirm it again because i suppose that money Gram Reference number should be 8 digit number not 10 digit as you sent. 10 digit number is for western union, please check properly or you forward the payment slip to me via email attachmnent to my contact email box i am using to write you now.

Mr. Lord Porch.

Has the money arrived yet?

Dear Mr Lord Porch,

Has the money arrived yet?

I have been looking into flights, the Glasgow to Islay flight departs at 09:10 AM so it looks as though you may be best to get an evening flight from Heathrow and stay the night in Glasgow. I can recommend the Brew Dog pub if you are at a loose end during your stay.
Chester and I will be happy to put you up during your night on Islay.

The flights I suggest are:
outbound:
British Airways
Departs: London Heathrow (LHR) BA1478 04/12/2014 21:00
Via: Glasgow (10h 10m)
To: Islay Glenegedal (ILY) BA4021 05/12/2014 09:10
return:
British Airways
Departs: Islay Glenegedal (ILY) BE6928 05/12/2014 18:15
Via: Glasgow (2h 10m)
To: London Heathrow (LHR) BA1481 05/12/2014 22:25
The price quoted was £539.35 but I imagine you may need to pay more than that as you will be transporting Mrs Mohd’s’s extremely heavy box.

I look forward to seeing you.
Kind Regards,
Ethel Trellis (Mrs)

The money has been sent

Dear Mr Lord Porch,

I have as requested sent the money via Money Gram. There was a “Home Delivery” option, so I ticked that to avoid you having to go to a Post Office. The money should be delivered to you home address this afternoon.

2,265.00 pounds sterling will be delivered to :
Lord Porch
120 Belmont Road Liverpool Merseyside L6 5BJ.
United Kingdom

The reference number is 5853991201.

I’ll look into flights from Heathrow to Glasgow to Islay and get back to you with some options.

Kind Regards,
Ethel Trellis (Mrs)

and tells Mrs Mohds

My Dear Mrs Mohd’s

Mr Porch has very kindly sent me a copy of his identity card, I can see that it is genuine as it has exactly the same picture as on his passport.
I no longer have any doubts about Mr Lord Porch and apologise unreservedly for my lack of trust.
I am setting off to the Post Office now and will contact you when the money has been transferred.

Kind Regards,
Ethel

Attn: Ethel Trellis,
I have not seen any important of sending you my working identity but due to the fact of facilitating your confidence, i do forward to you a scan copy of my diplomatic identity card, please keep it confidential. Kindly forward the payment slip of the money Gram immediately.

Mr. Lord Porch.

fear not, we will get your box delivered

Dear Mrs Mohd’s,

I realise that you have faith in Mr Lord Porch, but wonder if perhaps you are a little too willing to see the good in everyone. Mr Porch may be honest but I have my suspicions. I have asked for proof of his occupation as a diplomat. If I receive such proof then I will send him the money without further concern. If such proof is not forthcoming then we will need to find another agent.
I can understand your concern, but fear not, we will get your box delivered.

Kind Regards
Ethel.

Mr. Lord Porch is a very reliable diplomatic agent

Dear Ethel,
Thank you for the information, i want to confirm to you that Mr. Lord Porch is a very reliable diplomatic agent in United Kingdom, he will definitely do the job perfectly well and deliver the box to Scotland as agreed, kindly comply with his instruction to ensure that all arrangement is concluded today because i am being a little bit worried about the delay today to retrieve the box from custom.
I will wait for your feedback to confirm the conclusion of the arrangement.

Mrs. Zahrah Mohd’s.

I must insist

Mr Porch,

Offering to show me proof of your your occupation AFTER I have transferred a large sum of money to you is hardly likely to increase my confidence in your authenticity. Please send evidence of your position by return.

Regards,
E. Trellis (Mrs)
