In 2003 we are expanding
this program to include not only medical professionals but licensed

“We do start-up medical
practices.
“We do in-home businesses.
“We will consider
applicants that have been bankrupt (discharged over 5 years ago).
“*One of our recent
Tier I approvals was for $600,000 as a combo working capital loan and
equipment lease for 3 orthopedic surgeons opening a second location.
How about a $150,000 debt consolidation loan for a dentist with 11 high
interest credit cards?
“Tier II Update:
“Doing deals that
can’t be done anywhere else.
“Working capital,
debt consolidation, practice acquisition loans and leases for medical
professionals only.
“Higher rates than
Tier I but more flexibility for the “storied” deal.
Beacon score of 600

84 month terms only.
“Structured transactions
will allow you to close more deals without having to originate more
deals!
“*Tier II fundings
include a loan for a doctor to pay off 4 credit cards totaling $93,979
plus the cash to update his practice. Another recent funding included
$264,000 in loans and leases for two start-up M.D.’s moving to another
state.”

The rating is not valid as it includes all those who visit and

It should also be noted that several of the

their e-mails are counted as a visit to the site, whereas they are "list

These comparisons are compiled by Leasing

### Press Release
#########################
Nigerian
Scam—We Get Several New Ones Daily
Leasing News has
been collecting what is now considered the "Nigerian Scam"
for over 16 years. They first started by mail from Africa, then
they discovered the
internet. Several of our readers
have told
us confidentially
they fell for it; one well-known
equipment leasing individual, who also runs a school for training brokers,
lost $25,000.
If you think that
is preposterous, a Berkeley, California
law firm lost $2.1 million.
http://www.leasingnews.org/Conscious-Top%20Stories/Nigeria_lawFirm.htm
Leasing News has
been collecting these letters and e-mails, sharing them with readers,
including the "spin-offs."
Today we still get five to ten daily direct, plus readers send
some of the newer "take-offs."
Somehow we have become
the place that collects these e-mails.
This is how it works. It generally is some "inside" problem,
a husband has died or someone has money from a corrupt government. Often
they are “very Christian”
and “honest,” others appeal to your sympathy to their plight or problem:
death in family, money
about to be claimed
by the government as there are no
relatives. They need your help. They can wire the money, but they need a bank,
most often a certain bank.
The most common thread
is offering a "finder's fee."
Often it is a percentage, sometimes it is a specific dollar amount.
Now here is the how the scam works. Since you are opening this account,
they tell you need to start with a specific dollar amount, often it
is $10,000, and depends on what they think you can afford, as they explain
the account needs to look legitimate.
They will tell you why you should not put in a few hundred dollars,
saying when they transfer this amount of money, it will raise attention. You need to let it
sit in the bank for
a specific time so it registers as a balance.
The bank account
has both your signatures, for them to deposit
and you to receive,
but guess what, they can also withdraw.
Those who have fallen
victim to the fraud are encouraged to contact the Specialist Crime OCU
Fraud Squad by e-mail at 419@spring39.demon.co.uk.
Readers have been
sending in the new variations, which began to
occur from other
African countries, not just Nigeria, then to Saudi
Arabi, Iraq, and
even the Philippines. We have
over several thousand different letters in our collection:
Dear Sir,
I am the confidant
of the ex-president of the Philippines (Mr. Estrada) who was removed
from power as you may know. He has secretly informed me to contact you
and to liase with you to invest the sum of $21M (Twenty one million
dollars) which he deposited in a bank during his tenure.
Now the procedures
are that you will be given the contact of the bank so that you will
contact them to open an account online account where the money will
be transferred into from his account since he can not come out in the
open to use this money. After you open this account, I will order the
bank in a written form to transfer the money into your own Bank account
after which you can then transfer
it to some other
account in your place for sharing.
Upon request by you
I can send to you the certificate of deposit of this
amount for your assurance.
We are willing to concede up to 25% of the total sum to you for all
the anticipated help from you hoping that it will cover all your expenditures
before and after the transaction.
However, we will
desire that you will help us invest our share till we will be free to
meet you up in your country for further talks, Please if this proposal
is Ok by you, please write me back via this address so that I can give
you all informations.
Best Regards.

>From Mrs Elizabeth
tolbert
Abidjan, Ivory-Coast
West-Africa.
My dear Partner,
I am Mrs Elizabeth Tolbert, the wife of Late Dr. Kone Tolbert, a former
Director General in the Ministry Of Health in Liberia (West-frica).
Without
taking much of your time, I would wish to inform you that my Late
husband
was a top government official within the ranks of President Charles
Taylor?s
government in Liberia.He was brutally murdered by President Charles
Taylor?s
killer squad team on a frame-up charge that he joined hand in
attempting to overthrow the government of President Taylor when the
President
was
attending a peace talk mission in.Accra Ghana).
While in detention in the military camp in the capital city(Monrovia),
before
he was ubsequently killed, he disclosed to me that he has deposited
the
sum of $13,700. 000 USD(Thirteen million seven hundred United States
Dollars)
in a disclosed security and finance deposit firm in Abidjan, Ivory-Coast,
a neighubouring country to Liberia. That in the wake of his death, I
should
proceed to the finance deposit firm to identify myself as the
beneficiary
of the money, with certificate of proof as the beneficiary of the money.
With
the assistance of our family Attorney,
I have been able to trace the security firm, and the officials confirmed
that my late husband(Dr. Kone Tolbert) deposited a consignment in the
security
firm which he disclosed to them that the contents are mere FAMILY
TREASURES.
I am by virtue of this sudden development seeking your assistance to
help
me in moving this money to your country for our future investment. I
hold
you on the highest esteem that I will not be disappointed when this
money
eventually gets to your custody. I have the confidence of investing
the
whole money into any lucrative business in your country based on her
economic
and
political stability. Without mincing words, you stand to play the role
of
a principal partner in any investment to be carried out with the
money,
together with some amount of percentage to be agreed upon as soon as
I receive
a positive reply from you. The percentage will be your reward for all
your
moral and financial assistance during the period of moving the
money to
your country. You are therefore requested to furnish me through
my e-mail
address declaring your willingness to assist me in this venture. Waiting
for a very quick response from you. Have a nice time and God bless you.
Best Regards,
Mrs Elizabeth Tolbert.

Dear Friend,
I got your contact in searching for a reliable and trust worthy person
to
handle risk free transaction.
I am Mr. David Larson account Manager of United Bank International (UBI)Switzerland.
I have urgent and very confidential business proposition for you. On
December
29th 2002, an American contractor with the Government of Switzerland,
Mr. Michael Creek made a numbered time (Fixed) deposited for twelve
calendar months, valued at Thirty-five Million dollars ($35million)
in my branch.
Upon maturity, I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address
but
got no reply.
After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from his
contract
employers, that Mr. Michael Creek died from an automobile accident.
On further
investigation, I found out that he did not leave a WILL and all attempts
to trace his next of kin were fruitless. I therefore made further investigation
and discovered that Mr. Michael Creek did not declare any next of kin
in
all his official documents, including his Bank Deposit paperwork.
This sum of 35million is still sitting in United Bank International
and
the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end
of each
year. No one will come forward to claim it.
According to the laws of the country, at the expiration of 5 (five)
years,the
money will revert to the ownership of the Government if nobody applies
to
claim the funds. Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you to
assist
me fully as foreigner to stand in as the next of kin to Mr.Michael creek
so that the fruits of this old man's labour will not get into
the hands of some corrupt officials. This is simple, I will like you
to
provide me immediately with your full names and address so that the
attorney
will prepare the necessary documents
and affidavits, which will put you in place as the next of kin.
We shall employ the services of two attorneys for drafting and
notarization of the WILL and obtain the necessary documents and letter
of
probate/administration in your favor for the transfer. A bank account
in
any part of the world, which you will provide, will then facilitate
the
transfer of this money to you as the beneficiary/next of kin. The money
will be paid into
your account for us to share in the ratio of 60% for me and 30% for
you
while 10% will be set aside for miscellaneous expenses.
There is no risk involved in this transaction, as every necessary paperwork
for this fund, will be done by the attorney and my position as the Branch
Manager guarantees the successful
execution of this transaction.
Hope this mail will meet your perfect understanding.
Best Regards
Mr. David Larson (GP)

Good day to you,
I am Deide B., a citizen of the United State of
America and a staff of the United Nations (UN), I know
that this mail will be of great surprise to you. I got
your e-mail address from the Internet as I was
soliciting for a partner who will work with us.
Please, do not see this mail as one of those stories
from some Africans of which I have received such too.
In recent times, there have been conflicts all over
the world especially in the Middle East, which has
been of top concern to the UN. I happen to be one of
the officials assigned to Iraq. I also played a great
part in seeing that Afghanistan is been rebuilt and
that casualties, especially children are well taken
care of. During this period, my partners and I were
able to secure some amount of money amounting to
Thirty Million Five Hundred Thousand United State
Dollars ($30.5M), which was moved to Europe. Moving
this fund was easy because of the connections my
partners had. Now that things have settled, we want to
move the money out of the deposit company where it is
deposited.
We are contacting you to work with us because we are
civil servants and cannot do it alone. The presence
and participation of a neutral person is needed to
achieve this transaction hence my contacting you. Note
that all the relevant documents will be in place for
this transaction to be hitch free. For your
participation, you will be getting 20% of the total
sum.
This transaction will take not more than fourteen (14)
banking/working days to be finalized from the day of
commencement. Treat with to secrecy, as we will not
want a blackmail or media scandal. You are the only
person I contacted for this transaction and will hope
to get your reply ASAP for further correspondence via
my Private email ID: deide@swissinfo.org
Yours faithfully,
Deide B. (MRS).

Dear, Friend.
My proposal to you will be very surprising, as we have not had any Personal
contact before. However, I sincerely seek your confidence in this transaction,which
I propose to you as a person of transparency, honesty and high caliber.
Let me first start by introducing myself properly to you. My name is
Ron Sinclear, I was the Personal Assistance to the
(Haitian) President . I apologize if I have infringed on your privacy.
It may interest you to know that the former president of (Haiti) has
been fighting serious war for United Democracy for
quite some years now, which has been backed (all along) by some foreign
powerful countries.
Not quite long ago, the American government ordered (President,
Jean Bertrand Aristed) to leave (Haiti) or be forced out of power
by a Rabel force. Knowing fully well the capabilities of America and
other powerful members of the United Nations, (President Aristed) decided,a
nd left the seat of power into exile in South Africa country to
seek asylum. now a new government is in place .
In the light of all these sad happenings, there was this deposit he
made with a Security Company in Europe in year May 2001 ,this took place
while he was still in power as the president of Haiti, through my aid,
his Personal Assistant, (Ron Sinclear) and some loyalist, he succeeded
to secretly move the sum of ($9.5M USD) (NINE MILLION,FIVE HUNDERED
THOUSAND, UNITED STATES DOLLARS] to a private security company vault
in Europe. Now, we need your services as a highly reliable foreigner
to receive the funds into your bank account for the future survival
of my family because he (Aristed) cannot presently operate any
foreign bank account in his name. These funds (US$9.5m USD.) arose from
various money i received from the sales of diamonds deals, i had with
( President Charles Taylor) of Liberia, which are abound in great quantity
around the coastal areas of liberia.
I have decided that if you are able assist us,you shall be compensated

Dear Sir,
With a very desperate need for assistance, I have summed up courage
to
contact you.
I am an army Sgt. from Fort Hood Tx. now serving with the third infantry
contingent mission stationed in Iraq,
I actually found your contact
particulars in a business journal.
I am seeking your experience and assistance to evacuate the sum of
£13.5
million pounds sterlings to the USA or any safe country.
This is no stolen funds, and there are no risks involved.
SOURCE:
------
During the second month of the raid here in Iraq, Myself and a
few other
soldiers while conducting a routine search in a location near one of
Saddam,s old palaces, uncovered large sums of money buried in barrels
with piles
of weapons and ammunitions, we agreed not to turn over the cash,
and so
shared it amongst ourselves, although this was kind of illegal, but
there
is no kind of compensation that can make up for the risks we have taken
with our lives in this hell hole.
I was given the sum of £13.5 million pounds sterlings as my own share,
and
had nowhere to conceal such bulk monies here, so had to employ
the services
of a broker, a British national, introduced to me by a German contact,
the said broker facilitated the movement of the funds to a safer
location
entirely out of Iraq, and would assist you to get the funds to safety.
What he knows is that the funds belongs to an Asian American who died
in
the war, and trusted me to turn in the money to his family, thats all.
One passionate appeal I will make to you is not to discuss this matter
with
any third party, should you have reasons to reject this offer, please
destroy this mail, as any spillage of this information will be too bad
for us.
I do not know for how long we will remain here, and I have survived
2
suicide bomb attacks by the whiskers, hence my resolve to contact somebody
to help
out.
It maybe difficult for us to communicate frequently for security reasons,
hence as soon as I am sure you are willing to help, I will link you
up with
the broker, who will work with you to get the money into your care.
We will also discuss your price when it is convenient to do so.
In the meantime, please contact me through my email
so we can discuss.
Respectfully,
Alan

Barry
Bonds Hits his 700th Home Run
by Kit Menkin
He
swaggered to the plate,
like Elvis Presley going on stage
Joe
Louis entering the ring,
Taking care of business
The
fans knew he would hit 700---
They stood as the Giants were leading
in
the first inning
But the Pitcher hit Bonds in the chest
He
shrugged it off,
like Elvis Presley going on stage,
Walking
to first base,
Knowing he would score a run.
The
field was more lit up than Las Vegas,
Bright, surreal, as if this was a movie set,
The
players moving in slow motion
as the pitcher tried to take control.
The
third inning the fans stood up again,
This time the ball came in for a strike,
as
the pitcher had the guts with a fast ball,
It happened so fast.
Bonds
swung in stride,
Moving in this baseball ballet,
Knowing
the ball was his,
Taking care of business.
He
ran the bases,
Went back to the dug out,
as
the crowd went wild,
699
was changed to 700,
a new “legend” sign was revealed.
He
did not come out again,
until the new inning
Walking
to the right field,
next to the new “legend” banner.
He
threw the ball several times
to the coach on the side line,
As
the crowd continued to roar,
camera flash lights from the stadium.
He popped out the next time,
almost
as if he swung too soon.
His run to first was fast than slow
as
he watched the ball tell him no.
He
came up to bat one more time,
Determined, seemingly angry,
Ready
to make up for the last time,
It wasn’t a swagger.
Don’t
treat me this way,
I’m going to hit it far,
Two
strikes and he swung so hard,
if he had connected,
It
would have gone to Treasure Island,
The swing had so much power,
You
could feel it in the stands.
Afterwards he was happy,
His
team won Four to One;
on Saturday he hit 701
Taking
care of business.
