Briggs is back: An email I just received:
Hello, Graham-san

I am a Japanese woman. I received Mrs. Jenifer Wilson's mail and then
I also received Johnson Briggs's mail. He called himself as Barrister in
Law,
but my friend who is very good at English said that it should be called an
Attorney-at-Law in UK. His English is very poor than me.

I searched for his name on the Internet and found your weblog.

I appreciate you. I about to pay JPY370,000.

In Mr. Briggs's fraud, a bank in Netherlands named Zenith Group NL
is also involved. I called Netherland Embassy in Japan and they said
there is no bank having such name in their directory

Please see attached mail.

Thank you.
