Gobi Desert Biathlon

Gobi Desert Biathlon

Gobi Desert Biathlon
To help with grassroots marketing we held the first annual National Geographic / Yak Whisperer "Badral Xtreme Desert Death Race" yesterday in the Gobi. We had 12 two-man teams competing in a combined 10k dune foot race followed by a 40k camel race. Unfortunately we had a 50% drop out rate due to a stomach virus making it's way through the group.

I was glad that we attracted a few locals to take part. I probably should have been more clear on the rules since motorcycles had a definite advantage on this terrain. I suppose they really wanted to win that first prize of 5 quarts of fermented Airag.

So the winners were:
1. Dambyn Ganbayar, Dambyn Tömörtsog
2. Dambyn Otgonbayar, Dambyn Otgonbaatar
3. Tserenbat, Naranbaatar

A couple of French teams still haven't made it back. There's a chance they'll show up before the sand storm, otherwise I have to mark them as DNF. But in any case, I hope they read their waiver. We left a couple cans of Grape Fanta out for them by the finish line just in case.
Finally, special thanks to our sponsors: Chinggis Light ("the beer to have when you're conquering continents"), Pringles and Immodium.

PS. Still no Yaks sited. Hope to hell Christo was wrong.

Dear trusted friend and readers of Yak Whispering wisdoms sightweb,

I am Mr Michael Tollington, really is a Chartered Accountant Management and an External Auditor for the Bank of Ireland (BOI) not bankruptcy scandal bank. I currently work with a team of external auditors that is retained by the BOI to audit its activities in the entire British Isles. I was intimated of your business pedigree adn world stage travels by a colleague who had worked with the Ulaan Bataar International Chamber of Commerce & Yak Breeder Festivals organizer man.

In the course of a routine audit of the BOI books last year (after and before world crash of financial networks except not Nigeria and not our Bank), I am discovered some investment accounts that had been so quite and tranquil and still as nearly sleepy baby-like quite for over fourteen years. Most of the accounts belong to a single beneficiary but not yet me. The balance in these accounts currently stands at about US$ 10.9 million (Ten Million Nine Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). Further investigations of the said accounts revealed that the investor, a distant relative of Genghis Khan (Chinggis), had died sometime in 1992, about the time the account was last operation. The said investor died intestate and as such, no next-of-kin has come forward all these years to lay claim to the investment. Such families of fools we are not.

Against the backdrop of the foregoing, I wish to inform you of the existence of the said dormant account since you likely have access to new moderne technologies to create alternative identification methods (Photoshop of passport, enhanced driver license, Oswald libraries card, etc.) I am of the opinion that using our insider leverage, we (I am working on this with another Auditor my brother in Nigerian), together with yourself can secure the funds in this BOI account for ourselves instead of allowing it transmit as “unclaimed funds” into the Treasury of the Government of the United Kingdom and Irish.

Our bilateral cooperation in this regard would entail your contacting the BOI and applying as the only surviving relative of the deceased investor. I am in possession of all relevant documents (legal and Institutional and also 'enhanced papers') that will facilitate our achieving this goal and gaining free moneys which we pay you for. Once we get this deposit in the BOI transferred to your name as Next-Of Kin, we shall use our banking expertise to supervise the transfer of the funds in his accounts in BOI to an account to be nominated by you as sole beneficiary to the estate but we do not thief from you.

You shall be adequately compensated for your part in this transaction as am willing to give you 25% for your efforts. Paper promise is easy: we make it 26% ok. I shall however leave out the other details of this transaction till I receive an affirmation of your desire to participate. I can assure you that we are completely in charge of the transaction and as such there is no risk whatsoever if you decide to work with us, although some considerable risk if you change mind (threats, death-wise and other as you may imagine sir.) It is however important to say that secrecy is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction. Do not publish the so-called 419 email memo.

I shall however leave out the other details of this transaction (and your bank details, tax record, falsified ID image) till I receive an affirmation of your desire to participate. I can assure you that we are completely in charge of the transaction and as such there is no risk whatsoever to us if you decide to work with us. It is however important to say that UTMOST CONFIDENTIALITY is of vital importance if we are to successfully reap the immense benefits of this transaction.

Please contact me at my private email address [email protected] or alternatively [email protected] for further information. Thank you for your time and I hope to receive a response from you soon.

Best Regard,
Mr. Michael Tollington.
Very real person
Not enhanced ID

I use different names for that one
