From Mr. Fredrick Collins,
I am Mr. Fredrick Collins, Director, Foreign Remittance Department
Central Bank of Nigeria {CBN}.I am contacting based on a recent
meeting held with the Office of the Presidency, Federal Republic of
Nigeria in conjunction with the Federal Ministry of Finance and Senate
committee Budget Planning Unite, National House of Assembly-Federal
Republic of Nigeria. After the meeting, it was agreed that you will
receive a "Part Payment" of Five Million United States Dollars Only
{US$5,000,000.00} out of your long complicated outstanding payment.
Why we did this, is because according to information gathered from the
banks computer, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your
money without success, as I found out that you have almost met all the
statutory requirements of the CBN in respect of your contract payment,
your problem is that of interest groups.
I am willing to help you get your money but please for security
reasons do not tell anybody that you have your money until you receive
cash at your doorstep. This is something we want to avoid because the
boxes were padded with machine. We told the courier service that the
boxes contains photographic and film materials and when opened will
loose its efficacy. We did not declare money because courier service
does not carry money.
In your sub sequence response I shall send you the details of the
courier company which will be in charge of the delivery to your
location, we have concluded that you must compensate us with $500,000
United States dollars as soon as you receive your money. To this
effect, you will send us a promissory note for $500,000 United States
dollars along with your address for sending the boxes by courier.
Please maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause a lot of problems if
found out that we are using this way to help you, do not ever tell
anybody about this until you have your money.
You are required to re-confirm the under listed details as soon as
possible for onward shipment of your over due contract fund:
Your full name:
Private telephone number:
Choice of address {where you wish the consignment delivered}:
God is with us as we wait for your reply.
