BARR MARK BELLO
Hi,
I know this is going to sound strange coming from a person with a six figure income,
but I dont have an address, or telephone number. My only communication device is this
lap-top and wireless modem connected to my RV's electrical supply. I am a well known
travelling artist and because of the demands for my artistic talent, I have not been
able to settle down yet, but plan to semi retire in about 10 years. If there is any
other way I can be of service, please let me know.
Tim Murray
Dear Tim Murray,
Please if you can not afford to send to me your full
contact details such as your personal phone/fax numbers
and your home address then you better forget about this
deal.you can't tell me that you don't have a phone
number and at the same time tell me that you don't have
a place of leaving.
While I need all this,is that there are some doccument
that must carry the requested informartions.
Best regards,
Barr.Mark Bello.
Mr. Bello,
I know its hard to believe. But I have been able to conduct any necessary
transactions - be it personal, or business through these means. Any postal
requirements are delt with by mailing to the nearest post office of the location
I am at at the time. Any other legal transactions have been conducted through
online means via secure connections (sending legal documents, by scanning them,
then attatching them to e-mails - and useing approved digital signatures
when needed etc). Five years ago I took a dare from a friend and tried to swallow
a cucumber whole. Anyway, I damaged my vocal cords, they had to be removed. My voice
was replaced by an electronic voice box, and I can hardly stand to talk to anyone with
that droning monotone electronic voice. As a result, I really dont feel any loss at
not having a phone. My RV is a brand new Fleetwood Mallard edition, and the living
space is quite comfortable. I know there absolutely MUST be a way we can do business.
I have two lap-top computers, one at which I do all of my proffessional business
(renderings and etc), and the other (which I call my "Home" lap-top) I use for entertainment.
Please let me know how we can arrange things.
Thank you
Tim Murray

WARMEST REGARD,
BARRISTER MARK BELLO.
Dear Barrister,
Your deal sounds great! But I was thinking about a more proper form of payment.
I am sure that you are wondering by now, seeing that I am a well known artist,
how I express my artistic nature. To make a long story short, I fashion sculptures,
figurines, and sometime monument type statues out of my own turds. I call it
human clay. After a week of eating nothing but different kinds of cheeses to
bind things up a bit in order to obtain the right consistency, I eat about a pound
of sand. Then with the results in hand, I loveingly form my fecal matter into beautiful
statues and sculptures! I then bake it over night in a gas fired kiln to harden it up a
bit to make a long lasting weather resistant poop sculpture. I used to use my own oven,
but after a few weeks my food started to taste like crap.
I was so excited when I got your e-mail that I nearly made a statue right in my pants!
Anyway, I was thinking I could pay you with one of my timeless sculptures. All I need is
a picture of you so I can form a sculpure loveingly from my fecies, and your address to
mail it to. Your asking for a lot of money, butt I dont mind paying out the ass.
Please give me the information for this urgent matter.
Tim Murray
ATTN;
DEAR TIM MURRAY,
HOW ARE YOU TODAY? I HOPE ALL IS WELL WITH YOU?
I GOT YOUR MAIL,THE CONTECT IS WELL UNDERSTOOD AND
NOTED.I AM GOING TO SCAN MY PASSPORT PHOTO TO YOU AS
YOU REQUESTED BUT THAT IS NOT GOING TO BE TODAY BECAUSE
I AM TOO DOWN,I JUST RETURNED FROM A FRIEND'S
WEDDING.SO YOU WILL BE EXPECTING THE COPY OF MY
PASSPORT PHOTO BY MONDAY AND I WILL ALSO LIKE TO HAVE A
COPY OF YOURS FOR US TO KNOW OURSELFS BECAUSE WE MUST
SURELY MEET AFTER THE CONCLUSION OF THIS TRANSACTION OR
BEFORE THE CONCLUSION.
SO MY GOOD FRIEND TRY AND SEND THE MONEY IMMEDIATELY
YOU GET MY PASSPORT PHOTO BECAUSE WE GET NO TIME TO
WEST DUE TO TIME FACTOR, SO THAT I WILL SUBMIT THE
WHOLE DOCCUMENTS TO THE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY SO THAT
THEY CAN GIVE US AN APPROVAL DATE.
I WILL ALSO GIVE YOU THE CONTACT OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE
SECURITY COMPANY BY MONDAY.
BEST REGARDS,
BARR.MARK BELLO
Mark,
I am so glad that you have decided to accept one of my priceless sculptures instead of money!
A very wise decision if I do say so myself as there is no monitary value on something
that touches the soul like one of my manuer masterpieces. I think I will do a bust of your head.
I usually can complete a
full bust with about one bowel movement. Seeing that these sculpures are worth so much, I
can only do your sh!thead once. I think it is impossible for me to give two shits for your offer.
If you want, in addition, I can crap in a box and send that as well.
Then you can try making your own sculpures! I usually send these out as a kit
for kids to try poop sculpting, butt I dont mind this time.
As you requested, I will do a self portrait, and scan it on my lap top to attatch to the e-mail.
(See attached file - picture.jpg)
I am in Urranass, Michigan right now and I had almost completed a job, when the costomer
told me he wanted another fecal sculpure, butt of his dog this time! What, does he think
I can just pull these things out of my ass? Anyway, when I am done here I will be moving
to Krapinmipantsville Minnisota for yet another exercise of bowel control.
However, I will try to remain in touch as best as possible.
