Very impressive, Paul! The text is very thorough, and I liked the use of the site's info. This would probably be a Special, due to length. But you should fix the little error near the end:
"Whwn they lure victims to meet them in Africa..."
SB When. I'm sure there's an easy one somewhere.
Again, kudos!

[> Corrected version! -- Paul Pan, 16:31:14 06/13/02 Thu
Thank's folks for the kind words! I have corrected the 'gram as per Mey's suggestion:
Dear Sir
I am Mrs. Francisca Savimbi (Widow) of late Mr. George
Savimbi of blessed memory. My late husband was the
blood brother of JONAS SAVIMBI leader of UNITA in our
country ANGOLA. My husband who was until his death a
businessman based in the purchase and marketing of
GOLD & DIAMONDS, he was attacked, shot (and latter
died) when he was coming back from a mining site to
negotiate for the purchase of some of the products, by
unknown gunmen.
I must confess to you, that he became a successful
businessman following the outbreak of Civil war in my
country in which his elder brother JONAS SAVIMBI is
the principal actor being the leader of UNITA the main
Warring factor opposing the government of Angola. His
fortune came from this advantage as he profited and
extended his trade of illegal Diamonds & Gold from the
mining areas controlled by the brother JONAS who
covered him.
Following his assassination as he struggled to die, he
confided to me certain documents of deposits made with
different Security firms in West Africa. He told me of
the most important deposit made with a security firm
in Ivory Coast in my name as the beneficiary. These
very deposits were two (2) trunk boxes containing a
cash sum of USD $ 13.8 M. They were registered and
deposited as containing family valuables for
safekeeping in order not to attract any attention to
the deposits. The money derived from the sales of the
above-mentioned products "Gold & Diamonds".
After his death - with all these documents in my
possession - I decided to move out of the country with
my two children (PASCAL and HELEN) without the notions
of any relative to Ivory Coast in West Africa where
the said deposit was made.
My aim of coming to Ivory Coast is to ensure that I
find someone who will help me and my children collect
these deposits from the Security firm and further
transfer the money in question into any private or
corporate foreign Bank account for investment and
relocation purposes. In this regards, I hereby solicit
unconditional assistance to help me withdraw and
transfer this money to your base and subsequently move
out of this country.
We have it in mind to reward you handsomely for your
humanitarian assistance. I also suggest that you guide
and take control over the investments that we shall
put forth as we strongly count on your initiatives.
I therefore plead you to treat this transaction
seriously and confidential.
Let me read from you soon so that we can ascertain the
next step to take. Also include in your return mail,
your private fax and phone numbers so that I can
contact you and send to you some deposit evidence
issued to my late husband by the Security firm during
the deposit of the said consignments.
You can as well reach me or my son through the above
telephone number ext 241.
Feel very free to ask any question regarding any thing
you wish to know from me.
Accept and extend our kind regards to your humble
family while I look forward to receiving your prompt
and positive response.
God bless you
Mrs. FRANCISCA SAVIMBI

Fransisca:
Jonas Savimbi's sister-in-law? Yeah, and I'm a nudist Don Fido the Snowman busy fanning his viscid and vivid untanned Finnic doodads in the windy downtown Fiords! Gotta be an evil madwoman to expect us to fall for this mishmash! Take Jonas' false rhinestone diamonds, and gold and stick 'em where the sun don't shine! I assume poor sad old Jonas' ossified cadaverous innards must be rotating in his dug grave, atilt, and disavowing his infant twin brother George for being a horrid dodo fool and mingling with your sordid hellish kind.
I am being so rude 'cause I am pretty much miffed of what is behind your scheming mind. Beware of fat African divas that bear presents through the internet. Irritating and spamming widows may in fact be devilish assassins ! Winning mission is to sniff, thrash, undo, extricate, and dismiss sordid internet assassins in an instant (sans lawman)! To set the record straight, I quote excerpts from http://www.fraud.org. This should henceforth help thwart potential victims:
"Beware of such scams. They used to be called "Nigerian letters" because they came by mail, but now these messages also come by phone, fax, or email.
Such promises are fraudulent. They manage to get money out of your account, not to put money into it.
Once lured, they'll never let go. You will be charged never-ending series of payments for bogus fees.
Be wary of offers to send you an "advance" on your "commission." Some smart con artists use this ploy to build trust and to get money from your Swiss bank overnight. They send you a cheque for part of your "commission," instructing you to deposit it and then wire payment to them for taxes, or some other phoney purpose. The Swiss financier tells you it has cleared because the normal time has passed to be notified that they have bounced. After you wire the money, your cheque finally voids as it turned out a forgery. Now the evil rascals do have your payment, and you owe your bank the amount that you withdrew.
Don't believe photographs of the "loot." One common ploy is to tape money around a piece of wood to make it look like a large amount of cash. Sometimes the demon rascals sprinkle powder on the money and claim that it's a toxic chemical used to protect it. Then they offer to provide a special chemical to remove the powder!
Do not provide your Swiss bank account or financial information. This information is used to withdraw money from your account.
Don't travel anywhere to meet these people. They avoid coming abroad for fear of arrest. When they lure victims to meet them in Africa or other countries, victims have often been robbed and even murdered.
Remember, these are hardened criminals. They use the money they make on this scam to finance other illegal activities such as drug dealing and credit card fraud.
If they get your money, you'll never get it back. It's difficult to bring these crooks abroad to trial, and action is rarely taken against them in their own countries. It's still helpful to report actual or attempted money offer scams to law enforcement agencies."

2 Paradoxical Poems -- Mey K., 01:35:32 06/12/02 Wed
Below is a poem about an old, paradoxical riddle, and its anagram, which deals with another old paradox, attributed to Protagoras. There's also a little spoiler space, if you want to guess the answers:
9 Rooms - A Paradoxical Poem
Ten weary, footsore travellers,
All in a woeful plight,
Sought shelter at a wayside inn
One dark and stormy night.
'Nine rooms, no more,' the landlord said
'Have I to offer you.
To each of eight a single bed,
But the ninth must serve for two.'
A din arose. The troubled host
Could only scratch his head,
For of those tired men not two
Would occupy one bed.
The puzzled host was soon at ease -
He was a clever man -
And so to please his guests devised
This most ingenious plan.
In a room marked A two men were placed,
The third was lodged in B,
The fourth to C was then assigned,
The fifth retired to D.
In E the sixth he tucked away,
In F the seventh man.
The eighth and ninth in G and H,
And then to A he ran,
Wherein the host, as I have said,
Had laid two travellers by;
Then taking one - the tenth and last -
He logged him safe in I.
Nine single rooms - a room for each -
Were made to serve for ten;
And this it is that puzzles me
And many wiser men.
(If we reflect on what he's done,
We'll see we're not insane.
Two men in A he's counted one,
Not once but once again...)
=
Court Ode So Puzzling...
A minor craved to learn the law
From an attorney grand.
"Two dozen silvers is the cost",
Announced the solemn man.
"No assets have I got, my lord,"
The minor said, "But, see -
The maiden trial I shall win,
The profit'd go to thee."
The man consented without gripes,
And trained him for no fee;
And after teaching him for years,
The student was set free.
But after months, the lawyer heard
The novice took no case!
The vexed adult then went ahead
And sued him for disgrace.
The trial opened, both men spoke
With manner suave yet mild;
Then, as the sentence ran too long,
The two guys sat and smiled.
"Oh, what a cheer, then! Safe and done",
The old one bore a grin,
"For if I win, he lost the case -
And if I lose, I'd win!
"Thank God! Hurrah! Pure victory!",
The young defendant mused,
"If I shall lose, he can't be paid;
Were I to win - he'd lose!"
How can it be? No one shall lose,
As both, it seems, are right!
So tell me, can you fix this state
And solve this eerie fight?
(Don't hang around and nag me, please,
As now I have to doze.
Who won, who lost? The answer is
A simple one: Who knows?...)
;)
Later!,

Models = seldom.
It is interesting that a google search will find such statements as:
"As often, houses are adaptations of models seldom with
the full involvement of design professionals"
"Entry level Unix workstations cost less than $10K and high-end models seldom
cost more than $50K"
"Rate forecasts made by econometric models are seldom correct"
"However, in practice, mathematical models are seldom used by policy makers and
programme managers to explore context specific questions"
"Due to the emphasis on symbol manipulation in the South African mathematics
curriculum these models seldom extend to students' algebraic reasoning"
"The models have seldom been tested against real rock samples"
"But abstract economic models seldom inspire"
"We had all these amazing young female role models coming in for the award, and there
are girls in the community who seldom see such role models"
Of course models are seldom!

Anagrams for an artist -- Mara, 19:48:47 05/28/02 Tue
When I looked in this Forum, I knew this could be perfect, although not everyone might care about the subject.
Latvian artist Pasaka Skietams is reknowned for nature paintings. He is most famous for picturing Latvia's tallest mountains, such as snow-crowned Gaizins.
His early work looked back to the patriotic art of Jazeps Grosvalds and Slepens Viltiba of before Latvia's 1920 independence. Although work by Skietams is quite popular, artist Pienemts vards Neviens described Skietams's "Masketies un Karuselis" as simplistic and little more than folk art.
P. Y. Skietams = Misty peaks.
"Masketies un Karuselis" = Amateurs like inks' uses.

Welcome, Mara.

Hmm.... a rather obscure artist to say the least, but that never stops a keen anagrammer.

With your explanation that is a very apt anagram.
A few more, less apt ones:
PY Skietams =
Eats skimpy.
Empty? A kiss!
A skimpy set.
Pastime? Sky.
I'm a sky pest.
Spy makes it.
Kiss my pate.
Take my piss! [not taking the piss, are you Mara?]
Latvian artist Pasaka Skietams =
Private talks? Ask, "am I a Satanist?"
One of the other artists:
Slepens Viltiba =
Visible planets.
If you give us your full name, we will give you a nice welcoming anagram of your full name.

Yes, welcome to the Forum, Mara.

A Google search turned up nothing, alas.

Worth a NOM, I think. I'll add a brief explanation to the 'gram when it's archived.

I think I might have found your name on a webpage... it took some doing, but do you perchance own a "lucky spam can"? ;)

Thank you.
>A Google search turned up nothing, alas._
Is ANYTHING in Latvia famous in Google? Maybe Grosvalds?
>>If you give us your full name, we will give you a nice
>>welcoming anagram of your full name._
But I do not think the LETTERS will welcome Mara Raak.
>I think I might have found your name on a webpage..._

Although I enjoy Monty Python, some English jokes confuse me.

Just Eurovision. ;)
>Maybe Grosvalds?
He was the only painter you mentioned who made an appearance, IIRC. And about 2/3 of the pages that mentioned him boasted a Latvian suffix.
>But I do not think the LETTERS will welcome Mara
>Raak.
...You're right, I can't find a single coherent 'gram from your letters. Do you have a middle name?
>>I think I might have found your name on a webpage..._
>>it took some doing, but do you perchance own a "lucky

Sorry, I was wrong about the webpage bit. I do share your taste in Python though:
Monty Python's Flying Circus =
Sight my funny, cryptic loons.
