Dear Mr. Ahmed,
Firstly, bless you too. Bless you in particular for providing me that final photograph of my dear brother Fred, horrible though it undoubtedly is to behold. If you can also inform me of any last words he may be known to have uttered, I would be eternally your debtor.
Speaking of debtors, of-course you still owe the Sean family a sum of $10 million (U.S.). I’m sure you’ll agree that all this talk of bank account numbers and fax numbers is really getting us nowhere. With such a sum as is involved here, it must inevitably come down to the face-to-face meeting, the firm handshake and the steady meeting of the eyes of honest men.
To that end, I am dispatching my accountants, Mr. Goldfarb and Mr. Jones-Wellington (pictured below), directly to Lagos via the next available charter.
They are resourceful gentlemen, and are sure to locate you presently and satisfactorily arrange our business.
I am certain that you will find them most charming, and perhaps you can direct them to some choice sights in your beloved country. And yes, never fear, they will be bearing tartar sauce — enough for you and all your family!
Best regards,
Mr. Sean
Damn, I think I shot craps with that Fred Sean dude a couple years back. He then steal my goat and all my bling.
Where da lead pipe?
Do you think Mr Ahmed got any of the joke?
Mr. Seans:
There will be no foolings of us. The gentlemens pictured with cigar is none other than estimable Mr Finnegan, and the other Joyce James. As you know English name first male children for honor of first wife, as in, Leslie, Loren, etc. Mr. Finnegan has also left cash in our country for immediate disbursement. All neccessaries need apply. With God on our side, I remain here, and you there.
