Dear Nigerian Government

[garybeck]

Dear Nigerian Government,

I recently read that our former Vice President Dick Cheney has been charged with bribery in your country and could face jailtime for this offense.

As an American citizen, and I know I speak for MANY, I remind you that no one is above the law. These are serious charges and if he is found guilty he should serve the same sentence that anyone would.

I recently read that his former company Halliburton is attempting to pay a large sum of $500 million to settle this out of court and keep Mr. Cheney out of jail. (See http://www.globalpost.com/dispatch/nigeria/101204/nigeria-corruption-dick-cheney-halliburton).

My question to you is, wouldn't this payment be just another form of bribery? If Mr Cheney and his company can simply write a check to nullify illegal bribery activity, doesn't this show other potential offenders that if they want to engage in illegal activity such as bribery, they don't have to worry because if they get caught all they have to do is pay more money?

I think this would set a dangerous precedent.

To uphold the rule of law and demonstrate the seriousness of these charges, Mr Cheney should face a trial and the consequences thereof.

By the way, I'm wondering, are there electrical outlets in Nigerian prisions? Mr Cheney has to recharge his heart pump's batteries every seven hours. It would be a shame if there's no where to plug in the charger.

Regards,
An American Citizen

2. Dear Nigerian Government

As part of this deal, you will be required to NEVER send any email to the United States discussing

1)Chests in customs

2)deposits in fixed accounts you require funds to release

3)And and all missing money scams

4) how about just any email to the United States trying to scam our citizens

If you did that, I may let you let the fuck former Vice President Chimney go to be put on trial elsewhere since this is just another scam on your part....

3. P.S.

Please deposit my $12.8 billion, referenced in your recent Emails, ...

4. I don't know if we really want to raise these matters to the attention of the Nigerian Gov't...

Obama might step in to negotiate with them.

7. Dear Nigerian Government;

Allow me to introduce myself. I am in charge of approving all extraditions for the United States.

I understand that you would like to bring Mr. DICK Cheney to your bar of justice. I have been instructed by my government that there is no problem with this. However, as Mr. DICK Cheney is a former highly-placed official in our country's government, I have also been instructed that assurances must be on record as pertain to his well-bring in your hands.

I have managed to negotiate, in your behalf, a reduction of the originally requested US$5,000,000,000 in surety bonds to what, I'm sure for your beautiful country, is a more reasonable US$25,000,000. However, time is of the essence.

The Government of the United States, as a good faith gesture, is prepared to place a matching US$25,000,000 into the Nigerian Government's General Revenue Funds. However, to accomplish this, we must have the account numbers and access codes of all such accounts. Upon receipt of the account numbers and access codes, I will be able to directly transfer our Good Faith Deposit directly to the appropriate accounts.

Remember though, Time Is Of The Essence. Please respond quickly with the appropriate account numbers and access codes, and I can expedite the transfer of Mr. DICK Cheney to your custody. Keep in mind that his batteries aren't going to last forever, so I urge you to respond as quickly as possible.

Yours in International Goodwill,
