Did mine arrive Dan? If so I'm impressed, I was a bit worried the address wouldn't be legible enough.

Martha,

C'est arriveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! The mailperson brought me to mail artr bits today, , one from Gina Unger and one from M.A. Martha. I won't be opening Martha's piece probably for a few days yet. I'm in the middle of family stuff, and of course I want to document and savor the experience in an uncluttered space and frame of mind!

Feast your eyes on this necklace or "dog tags" DK made as part of a D-Kit I received from her.

I am glad this time my post arrived, Diane, the Austrian one must not have had enough postage as the girl in the hotel did put the only stamp she had, I am sure, and it probably was for a postcard. Silly of me too. It might still arrive by boat. I will fish the photo and upload it here.

Great conversatoin to wake up to!!!  I'm glad you haven't forsaken Dkult Dan! I couldn't bear it if you did. Martha--that is such an amazing picture to think of the UK postal workers' day being brightened by your mail art. How cute she added that little touch! I received the amazing envelope from you and am in absolute awe!! and that's a lot of A's!  I will post when I can so everyone can see. Your humor is priceless.   Dan--the criminals are always 123 steps ahead and that's Data Mining for you.  It's horrible. But it's also nice that Martha's relative wrote you.  I hope you've given them your bank account info!  I'll have to post this scam I received. They send you an actual official looking cashier's check. it's bogus of course but looks very real.  have a good you guys!! In trash we trust and nothing else!!!!

Literally minutes after I posted about my negotiations with DKULTNigeria, i received the following email. I know you all will think I made this one up in the fashion of a DVS story, but this relly did just pop into my inbox. Obviously DKULTNigeria has friends in very high places.

Hi,

After serious thoughts, my decision to contact you personally became urgent, since I have no grudge against you, other than your Nigerian partners. I happen to be the Deputy Governor, Operations Directorate at Central Bank of Nigeria.

Sometime ago, your partners approached me through a contact who works with one of the ministries here with a request to assist them conclude a transfer deal which required programming a transfer on your behalf.

What I gathered, is they wanted to use my position and office to strategically transfer a sum; which has been supposedly dormant in the CBN suspense account for quite a while. Our agreement was that I make this happen and be rewarded with one hundred thousand initial advance payment and another one hundred thousand when I finally release to your nominated account. Having successfully programmed the transfer as agreed and your name approved amongst the list of ontractors/recipients/beneficiaries to be paid for that period, the story changed and instead of standing by our agreed arrangements, they implored an avoidance tactic and then resorted to threats. Well, that prompted my decision to immediately delete the transfer code, but released other payments as listed, excluding yours.

This resulted to several threatening calls which did not scare me though and then they started making frantic efforts to bribing other officials to get another approval to the transfer to you, but without success. I however take 100 percent responsibility for the delay and obstructions, because of their breach of agreement and trust. If you have doubts as to this privileged information, then consider what has transpired through the entire course of your claim process, they continue to ask you to pay one charge or the other and at the end no results and they continue to tell you to send another fee with yet no results. In very simple words, I can only say that they are just wicked. Now if you want us to work together,these are my conditions:

1: I will be entitled to twenty percent of the total sum, since it's just both of us left in the matter.

2: You will assist my son with opening an account in your domain where I will transfer my share.

3: It will be useless and mere waste of time and resources if you continue with any other person. So well conclude this process with the utmost of secrecy using only the included telephone and email details as provided.

4: You will provide me your direct telephone, mobile and your private email to facilitate easy communication between you and I.

If you find these conditions acceptable, contact me at your earliest convenience to have us finalize arrangements, so the transfer can be released to your nominated account after completion of the mandatory protocols. However, in case you're not interested, then I strongly advice you jettison the idea of receiving your funds and stop wasting your time with your so called partners. Your prompt response is anticipated.

Yours truly.

Bosah Moghalu.
Deputy Governor, CBN.

Good morning Dan! I am very happy because something nice happened. On Monday I took an envelope for you to the post office. I have to explain that this is a fairly large London suburban impersonal place.  I have been using it for years and they do not recognize me. This time the lady who sold me the stamps said that she had seen Mail Art of Friday, with a broad smile. The best of it all is that she was not the person who sold me stamps on Friday so my postings were shown around.  Hurray!!! This is the receipt she gave me, notice the reference to Mail Art:
