 		Dude! You are getting SO old!

In your honor I've found some pie just for you. I wanted to find a birthday cake, but I know how much you love pie.

Happy Birthday!

 		Happy Birthday
DEAR SIR,

Congratulations on your special day! I am sure you will find the following a most beneficial gift for this commemoration.

REQUEST FOR URGENT (CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP OF THE TRANSFER OF US$46,560,000.00 (FORTY SIX MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND SIXTY THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY).

I hope this letter will not embarrass you since we have not had any previous communication. I got your reference from the Nigeria Exports Promotion Council (NEPC) and went further to have it confirmed by your country's trade department under private inquiry that is not related to my aim of writing you this letter.

I, on behalf of my other colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatals to certain foreign contractors some time ago.

We as holders of official positions in various parastatals, were mandated by this new civilian government to scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign contractors by the past military government and we discovered that some of the contracts they executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or commission. Also we discovered that the sum of $46,560,000.00 (Forty-Six Million, Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand United States Dollars Only) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlements after executing the said contracts.

We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct of the Federal Civil Service does not allow us to operate foreign accounts.

However, we have succeeded in transferring some of these money, precisely US$20,000,000.00 (Twenty Million United States Dollars Only) into a foreign account in GENEVA (SWITZERLAND) last week. But unfortunately, the provider of the account has severed all forms of contacts with us as he has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before disbursement will take effect. If for US$20M (Twenty Million United States Dollars Only) we are not compensated, how can one guarantee full compensation on remittance of the balance of US$46.560M (Forty-Six Million, Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand United States Dollars Only).

We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount of US$46.560M, which can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be compensated with 25% of the amount for assistance and services and 5% set aside for expenses contingency.

This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our SENSITIVE POSITION we cannot afford a slip, I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free and in fact will throw in a basket of free kittens if you contact us immediately. We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices, when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences.

I am at your disposition to entertain any question(s) from you in respect of this transaction, so contact me immediately through the proper channels.

Please note that the DEAL needs utmost confidentiality and your immediate response will be highly appreciated and we will use our own share of the money to establish a lucrative firm in your country.

Yours Truly,

SPACE B. ASS

P.S. Sir, if this letter mistakenly assumes you are a U.S. resident when in fact you live in Canada, please disregard. Unfortunately, Canadian tender is worthless even in Nigeria.

If *anyone* knows I'm not a puzzle guy, it should be you, Steve... but I'll try to decode it as best I can *grumble* when I get home from school today.

Oh, and thanks to all the others that have given their happy birthday messages. I feel loved, and not in that dirty way either. Laughing

 		For those of you following at home, here's the story...

Steve's big long number stream was supposed to be broken into three digit sections, leaving you with 442 459 448 455 391 444 456 454 392 459 442 443 443 450 461 449 456 453 446 391 449 461 454

numbers ranging from 442-468 are letters, while 391 is a period, and 392 is a slash. this gives you:

argn.com/rabbithole.htm

Thanks to the crew in #unfiction for helping me out with this one while I was miseducating my students, but rest assured I will solve this next part! I swear on the grave of the last guy who made me do a puzzle trail, I'll solve it!

--J

 		As for the second part, all I can say is: Thank Jebus for Playmates. Not so much for pregnant nuns, though Razz
