Mr Kone,
Please explain how I can help you buy tools to assist in your mining. Your last email makes no sense at all to me. Have you become mixed up?
I do want to help you perchance new tools, but I am concerned that you may be taking drugs as you are talking in riddles at the moment!
On a more positive note I am glad to see your people doing some work for a change and not standing about doing nothing.

Mr Darwin,
Look if you are not serious is better you dont waste our time rather than to keep your time write meaningless message.How can you said that you dont understand a simple explanation that if you come down here and help us to pay for the charges prior to shipment and the commodity is shipped to your country and sold,then you will deduct the expenses yoiu incured for the charges prior to shipment before wire the balance to the nominated bank account of the mining tools manufacturer.If you know you are not into the system is better you look for someone that know about gold transaction or a serious gold buyer.You call yourself a professor and christian for that matter,then you write a fellow christian brother that he takes drug before he write you.This statement sound foolish.Are you normal at all?Awaiting you response ASAP.
Have a great week ahead.
Regards,
SAM KONE.

Dear Darwin,
Infact,i do not understand you anymore.Are you ready to do business with us or you want to continue writing message of no meaning.If you are ready to transact the business with us kindly let us know.We are serious miners here and we dont spare our time for something irrelevant.We dont play with our business at all,because these is where we get money to cater for our family.So is better to let us do the business rather than to waste out time on writing message.
Awaiting your response ASAP.
Regards,
Sam KONE.
I said:
Mr Kone
I WANT to do business with you. This does seem like to sort of opportunity that comes about once in a lifetime.
I would only feel much more confident about this if you showed me some of the gold in a photograph.
This would prove beyond all doubt that you are a man of you word. Then I will be glad to help pay to have the gold exported.

You need to work a bit more on your story, maybe say that you mine silver or something as gold is taking the piss a bit.
Anyway good luck with the crime and i hope you make a successful life from sealing from people.
