If your wondering why there is a photo of a man hugging a tree then dont, a lot stranger thoughts are going to pass through your bamboozled mind soon. Dont worry, all will become perfectly clear by the end of this story...
I think the word they use to describe it is 'fate', or maybe even 'Destiny'. Two paths, brought into this world a million miles apart, who’s future has already been written in the stars, destined to some day cross. If he could have picked one man on this earth to help him fulfil his dreams, dreams he hadn't even had yet, he could not have found someone better. Even if he had sent a million more phishing emails. (Which he probably did!)
It all stared when I was looking for a car on Gumtree. I came across a car which was, and later turned out to be, too good to be true. There was no contact information on the listing so I emailed the seller requesting a viewing. There was never a reply. And there it started, the worm set by this 'phisherman' had been bitten. He had obtained my email address and the journey of self discovery, goats wearing shoes, rams dressed as Zebra’s and a real life human bat-man had started. Confused? Don’t worry it will all make perfect sense soon…..
It all started one lazy Sunday afternoon. I was randomly checking my emails at home when I see a email from a name i didn't recognize…a one Jerome Komi. I proceeded to open it and imagine my delight to be greeted by this wonderful man…

I count it as a great privilege and great honor to write you all.
Firstly, I sincerely thank God for what you have been doing in this generation, assisting men and women to actualize their dreams and visions in all ramifications. May God bless you richly and establish your goings.
Actually, I am by name JEROME KOME; a Togolese by status of nativity. I was born healthy, but I experience infant sickness from 1980, which led to my being paralyzed. I cant walk on my two legs any longer.

Sir, Please I beg you In the name of God our creator, all I need is to be established, purchase a new shop, get some shoe making machine, and a home where I could live with some other less privilege hanging out with me at the road side.
I got your address on the web and decided to write this letter to ask for help. I need your help and support financially so that I can rent a shop and start on my own. This is my real life story and I swear on my knees that anything extra you need to verify all my saying, then dont hesitate to let me know. I really need you now and pray that God touches your heart in anyway to give arms to me in any little way you can.
Attached are some pictures of myself.
God Bless and Prosper you in all you do Amen.

WOW! He actually replied! I couldn’t believe it. The tables had turned it was my worm that had been bitten, and what a big bite! Not only did he get a flag, well not a American flag but a cheap Harley Davison bandana, credit for improvisation! But he had dressed in some sort of all American stars and stripped pyjama set! 10 out of 10 for effort. And an early example of a keenness to impress that continues beyond human comprehension throughout this story. And wow what a smile, such a beautiful smile for a criminal. I was in love with this fraudster! And my mind, well, my mind began to run wild…

Thank you for those pictures of you. I know god has been strong in helping you mend so many shoes for so many people without you people would literally not have the ability to walk. In some ways you are a god. I was delighted to see you in your photo, to see the warmth and joy in your smile, it made me blush. It is already a miracle that you found me as I am in fact a very rich man who is committed to God and willing to help

| Myself with two of my ‘girls’ |
I receive your picture to my request, but unfortunately this was not the American flag, but a cheap imitation that offended me. There fore I can not send the money at the moment.
I understand your logistical circumstances may prevent you from obtaining a Amercian flag so I have a easier task for you to carry out.
Please send me 3 photos, upon receipt I will send $1000 usd.
- Photo 1 - You doing a sit up (to show that you are infact still alive)
- Photo 2 - You making 2 circles with your fingers and looking though them.
- Photo 3 - Show me an animal wearing one of your shoes; example a horse, goat, dog. (to be reminded that god made every creature equal and that you are helping animals to walk again as well as humans)
If I can see that my hard earned money is going to be put to a good use I will send the dough.
Please also instruct me into how you would like the payment.Please one last request, do not reply in the unusual green font again, it hurts my eyes and causes me to flashback to when I was trapped in a swamp and orally man handled by a green swamp monster. I hope you can understand what that involved.
God bless, I look forward to hearing from you Komi x

Hello baby boy,
God bless you and your village.
At the moment the church finance committee are looking into your request for a factory for handicaps.
I have spoken to the head of gods finance today and he confirmed we can find some small change from the millions we get donated each week. But we would need a sign of your true faith as this its a huge amount of money to some one we have never met.
Our church is over four hundred million years old and is one of the largest in the country with over 58,185 ½ members. We were founded by St Garfield the farmer. He was half American, half sloth and a quarter Jewish. He set up the church after 216 of his Zebra cattle drowned in a freak accident whilst filming ‘animal farm’. The ‘Zebra’ is now our official church mascot. It would do us a great honour if you could send us a photo of you sitting on a Zebra, praying.
This would be the final, non-sexual, photo request.
God bless you Komi may the lord be strong with you
All my love and strength

How are you doing today?
I thank you sincerely Sir for your warmth thought and kind gestures in all effort you have put together in trying to make my dreams come true, I sincerely Say God bless you and may God prosper you in all you do in Jesus Name, Amen.
My apologies Sir, I understand that the church wants and needs me to portray this last sign of faith, but sir, the distance to where I could get a zebra is about 75km and according to my condition, it will be a very big problem to travel such distance sir, I wish I could walk up to that place where I can have it done at once and sir, I don’t think I have a zebra in my country.
To the contrary, I understand that its not easy to send fund to someone from another continent just like that without proper verifications based on the level of improper conducts through the web and I thank you for conducting proper verification of my identity but please sir, have mercy on my condition, this journey is too much for me, myself, I talked to the person looking after me but he never gave heed to my explanations saying he still has a busy day ahead, and perhaps, there is no much fund to transport me there and to retain the animals we will use.
I swear on this Bible on my hand that I am saying the truth Sir, Please sir, I beg you and the entire church that anything else I can do within my possibilities would be done without haste and hesitation.

Hello Jerome,
The church is sad, disappointed and offended with your failure to produce a photo with our patron saint the ‘Zebra’. It was a great honour to be given the blessing from the church to mount and pray on a holy Zebra. Your faith is obviously not as strong as we thought.
It is for that reason that we are saddened to announce the retraction of the offer of a fund to build a shoe making factory for little handicaps.
But in the church we believe in god’s good faith in second chances. So for that reason we have agreed a 48 hour extention to send this photo or the money will go to a lovely Nigerian man i meet on Facebook called Sebastian who sends me nice photos ;) The calander is nice but is missing half the year so i cant really use it. But I must say you have wonderful IT skills for a shoemaker.

Before proceedings, I sincerely would like to express my sincere apology to the entire church for my failure to produce a photo of what is requested, and thank you for giving/granting me a second chance to produce the photo.
Upon reciept of your mail sir, I had to hasten up to a nearby place where I could beg for the services of using one of their Zebra to produce the photo which was demanded by the church and I was granted the opportunity to make use of one of their animal. Thanks to God almighty.
Below is a copy of the Zebra you requested Sir.
Please I am sorry for making the church sad, its just a long distance from home but I thank God for the opportunity of moving to a nearby place and thank God that he answered my prayers as they granted me the opportunity to make use of their Zebra.
Thank you sir for everything as I look forward to hearing from the church positively.
Please sir, I would appreciate my personal information be used to send the fee.
God Bless You Sir and thank you once more.

OK - WOW, first of all i nearly crashed my car when i first see this picture. I also released a small amount of urine from laughing so hard. But after the initial ecstasy my emotion turns to guilt, i do posses a heart you know! Now my mind starts to wonder from the task at hand. I knew from the start that this was obviously a scam, but like that moment when Neo finds out about the Matrix, now that I have witnessed a goat wearing a shoe and a Ram dressed to look like a Zebra, everything I thought i knew is out the window. Could he be the person he claims to be? So, i do some research, a simple google of this wonderful mans name confirms my initial suspicions. How could be be anything other than.... a Nigerian! The 419 scam they call it after the Nigerian penal code written for it. Time to really go to work....

Hello my wonderful Jerome,
To hear your voice is such a joyous occasion. It gives me great pleasures to hear the hope and warmth in you email whenever you talk to me. It moistens my underpants.
Thanks for the lovely email. Firstly I would like to start by asking where you got your gorgeous salmon pink tee. It really does wonders for you complexion and as you know is this seasons must have colour.
We have examined the photos you have sent and unfortunately this is not a Zebra, but in fact a Ram with what looks like a seat belt wrapped round it. Yes it does have black and white stripes like a Zebra, but the two horns on the Rams head give it away. The last time I checked Zebras did not have horns. Unless this is some sort of mutant half Zebra half Ram then of course forgive me. Although a half Zebra half Ram would not qualify as an acceptable substitute for the required picture of you praying on a 100% pure breed Zebra! We do however appreciate the initiative you used in trying to re create a Zebra with a Ram and a seat belt.
Extra credit is also given for the emotion and passion expressed on your face in the photo of you praying, you really should look into acting. It almost looks like you are making love to the Ram/Zebra. We also like the dedication you’ve displayed by removing both your legs for the purpose of this photo. The skill that is required to balance on a Ram, wrapped in a seat belt, with both legs removed, whilst balancing on a stick with one hand and praying with the other is nothing short of a miracle. This still doesn’t make up for the fact that you did not send the required picture of a 100% pure breed Zebra.
I await your reply…

Thank you for the photos of your wonderful family. I used them last night x. You wife looks like a cross between Rihanna and bee's nest.
I want to tell you a story, a story so deep, so dangerous that it will make you wet your pants…
Many centuries ago there goes a story that a young boy fell down a water well and landed in a bat cave, as he lay there suddenly a swarm of bats flew furiously at him. He was so scared he cum in his pants. He lay in the tunnel for 40 days and 40 nights. Each day he became harder and harder but eventually he warmed to the bats and made sweet love to them all. He gained there trust by talking to them and at night by performing the ‘bat sleeping position’. After this the bats accepted him and brought him food and nursed him back to health so that eventually he could walk out of the tunnel all by himself. God bless jesus of nazareth.
If you can send me a photo of you hanging upside down from a tree branch wearing a batman mask with your arms folded like a sleeping bat then we will send the funds.

All through the weekend, I had less meals, the person that got me the animal I used for the pictures the church asked me to use came and made a whole lots of trouble with me, saying he demands I offsets the bills of the animal I used because out here, we that dont have access to certainties have them retain them.
But I pleaded with him that I will offset everything this week, should God almighty, creator of heaven and earth touches the heart of the church to hear my cry and give help in any way they could.
I have gone a long way to all this sir, please I am on my knees, pleading with the church to have mercy on me, I know there has been ups and donw in all that the church has demanded of me but according to my state at the moment, some of them are totally a hard task to acquire but thanks to God for the strenght and the privilege to work on everything demanded to be my the church, but at this moment, all hope os not lost yet, I will try to keep my hands up high as i have always do and make sur that someday, the church will hear my voice and cry.

Sir, I believe a person starts to live when he can live outside himself. For everything I have done sir, I have done my best and left the rest for God to take control of because I know for sure sometimes, one pays most for the things one gets for nothing.
I have lend money just for this, I have travelled long distance just for this, I have fasted just for this, I have prayed all night uncontrollably just for this, I have done it all for this, and among all I have done, I have had so many mistakes but amidst this mistakes, I believe anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new, and everything the church has asked me to do, I thank them and thank God for the strenght because I know they are all part of learning.
I have had so many plea with the church to please hear my cry and assist me for once, but each time I feel I'm closer, I am being introduced with some other task.
well, what do I say? What do I do? among everything, I have tried to be strong because I know weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character as the eternal mistery of this world is its comprehensibility.
Sir, I have done the unimaginable just for this, I have suffered a lot for this. The first time I was asked to present a photo with a flag, I travelled long distance to acquire it but since I didn't get the flag, I purchased a cloth instead, the second time I was asked to make a shot with an animal wearing my product, I got one rented and had a snap with it, thank God it went successful, the third time I was asked to sit on an animal with paint and have a shot while reading the bible and praying, it was too hard but with the help of God, I tried accomplishing part of it, now to snap with my wife and mother, I had to travel from the city to the village for the third time where my wife and mum lives to have a snap thinking its all but everyday, the church keeps on demanding I send more photos.
This is too much for me sir, you are like a father to me and I feel to express my heart felt thought.
I am seriously down financially, most of the task giving to me by the church were done by lend, I have lend so much money on this and its beginning to have effect with people i owe looking for me everywhere to offset their debts. At the moment, my last hope is with the church but today, I am being giving a more difficult task, setting my entire life, thought, world, being in chaos,
Things is hard with me sir, for this reason, I sent my wife to the village to live with my mum while I leave at the city because it was so hard to feed. what a world, last time you asked me to have a picture with her, I had to travel to the village where it was taken with my mother and this time would be no exception but sir, I am afraid, am too broke at the moment.
I just wish all this will come to an end someday, because everything that has been happening to me seems to me like a daydreaming that I pray to be up from someday.
I am sorry for sounding like this sir, just couldnt stop sheding tears upon reciept of demand of another picture.
I tried making a picture and pray the church accepts it, I looked for someone to help do the bidding, but he was demanding for money which I cant afford, I am down at the moment is all I could say for now, the soveiour in charge of the property met with me on yesterday and demanded I let him know if I couldnt retain the land, but I pleaded with him to please give time till this weekend again.
At the moment sir, everything is in your hands and in God's hand. It took a big effort but below are the pictures you requested sir....
I am on my knee’s, begging you… please let this be the last picture….
Thank you for everything, for being a father, friend, family, thank you seems not enough but that's how I feel about how you have been to me. Thank you for everything.
God BleSS You.
Yours Son,
Jerome.
Now before you say anything please understand once again that i honestly did make this last task so unbelievably ludicrous that no sane man in his right mind would undertake! I mean come on, what must have been going through his mind when he was cutting out the batman mask! I know they have TV's in, someone in the gang must have watched Batman. Although im not going to lie, i didn't stop laughing for about 2 days when i first see these pictures. But once again, after the initial ecstasy, guilt starts to take over. I start to feel for the heroine in this play, the limp legged animal loving shoe maker. Obviously there is a more able bodied criminal minded gang using this poor mans story. I start to honestly feel for him, i start to think of ways i can make it up to him, bring some joy to the mundane life surrounding him. Nigeria
Later that night I went to bed with Jerome on my mind. As I lay there naked in my bed thinking of the slim legged shoe maker I recalled the moving journey we had together in my mind. From the initial picture of him sitting half naked on a stool with his shirt tantalising close to his crotch, Then with his beaming smile holding up a Eagled flag with pride, then defying medical experts by crouching down un-aided in a field while placing a shoe on a goat in a scene reminisant of Cinderella, then effortlessly holding up a sign that reveals he has aids, then defying gravity by balancing on a ram wrapped in a seat belt with his legs ‘removed’ while holding a bible in one hand, then the crème de la crème, again defying gravity this time by balancing upside down on a tree branch whilst wearing a batman mask! Wow, what memories we have had, but it was another less outrageous picture that caught my mind. I recalled his face in each picture, whilst he started with a beautiful smile, in each subsequent picture it had disappeared, except for one. The one with his beautiful wife and mother. The size of the beam in that photo, it could light up the sky at night. The pride of the man with two women by his side, sporting his purple and green silk shirt, looking like a 1970’spimp. I couldn’t imagine Jerome gets a lot of female attention, and despite these not being the most attractive females, you could clearly see he was the happiest man in the world. New York
So I thought I would get the man some more 'action' and bring that beautiful smile back on his face...…

Jerome,
Please forgive me for the delay in replying,
I have been very impressed with the photos of you and your wife. The sight of two off gods young children in love has moved me to tears, the way she cares for you, it arouses me. Please Jerome all i asks for is more photos of you two in ‘love’.
I swear on my dead cats grave that once we receive all of this we will post the money to you.
Thanks Jerome, I look forward to hearing from you.

Good Day Sir Dad,
It worries me, having not heard from you for a very long time but what can I do? I have searched everywhere for you, all sites and so many places but still couldn’t find you, it worries me more and sometimes leaves me with sleepless night but then I have never stopped praying for you and I know in some way, God has always heres my prayers because the Bible says, he hears the fervent prayer of the righteous.
Though I have learnt to accept my fate because I believe without the money on me right now, it’s in me and I strongly believe that because even if money is everything in this world, I believe there are somethings that it still cannot do money can buy you a house, but it can't buy you a home. Money can buy you insurance, but it can't buy you security. Money can buy you entertainment, but it can't buy you happiness. Money can buy you medicine, but it can't buy you good health. Money can buy you a bed, but it can't buy you sleep. Money can buy you companionship, but it can't buy you friendship. Money can buy you sex, but it can't buy you love. Money is called currency, because it is designed to flow through you. Money doesn't change you; it only reveals who you truly are."I believe that money can buy you many women but it cannot buy you a good wife. It can buy you a good book, but it cannot buy you wisdom and knowledge. It can sponsor you through school, but it cannot buy you intellect. However, the things money can buy are temporal but the things money cannot buy are the most costly things of life, most times, everlasting.
Money is good but loving it makes it bad. We can work hard to earn more money. We can sell our properties and our other belongings to have money in emergencies. Remember, we should work not only for the reason of receiving but also for the reason of giving. Money is indeed important, but it is not everything.
please find attached the photos you requested dad     
Amen.
Yours Son,
Jerome Komi

Good day Jerome my son,
I’m pleased to confirm I have returned home after filming for my new TV series in the UK.
I was in the bank about to transfer you the $14,000 USD when it struck me, what you were trying to tell me all along.
I have spent much time thinking about what you said, (below), I cant believe all this time I have been so stupid. Your right, money can’t buy you happiness. You have a home; you have security, happiness, apart from no legs OK health, sleep, friendship, and most importantly LOVE. Jerome you already have everything you need in life. That’s why I have decided to instead send the money to a sanctuary for mistreated and unwanted Zebra’s in Togo. I hope this fills you with happiness. Please tell me how you fell about this, after all the tasks you have done for this money…

To make up for the fact you will NEVER see the $14,000 USD I have spend $20,000 on getting the TV production company that produce my TV programme to make a movie of you and your wife with special effects and a wonderful soundtrack…. I hope you enjoy J
thanks Jerome, sweet dreams
yours forever
DAD
