Goodday,
I am Rev. Tony Johnson, director cash processing unit,United Bank For

President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to effect your over due payment owned
by African banks.
The total sum of Three Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollar ( USD$3.5 Million ) have been approved on your behalf and we
are ready to release the funds to you as soon as possible. Due to the
level of fraud going on in West Africa sub-region where some innocent
beneficiaries were ask to pay in advance before receiving the money
owed to them. The Africa Union held meeting in it Headquarters, Addis
Ababa, Ethiopia and resolve to pay all beneficiaries in cash through
means of diplomatic courier service. We receive your files from
international monetary fund(IMF) as one of the beneficiaries and we
have figured out on the best means to effect your payment.
Take Note; Ten Thousand United State Dollars (USD$10,000.00) have been
mapped out for all expenses in sending the money to you through
genuine diplomatic courier service. Therefore, I want you to bear it
in mind that your total fund will no more Three Million Five Hundred
Thousand United State Dollars (USD$3,500,000.00) rather Three Million
Four Hundred and Ninety Thousand United State Dollars
(USD$3,490,000.00).
If any body tells you that he is paying you in bank draft or
tele-grafic money transsfer both western union or money gram, do not
listen to him or her because due to this fraud no international bank
honors our remittance instruments any more so that is why we settled
to pay in cash through courier delivery.
We also received a security report that you paid the fraudsters who
have been deceiving you, telling you that they are going to send this
money to you. My dear, as a senior banker, controlling this cash
payment now, I advise you not to waste your money by paying any body
in advance again, and if you just follow my instruction, you will
receive your money in three days time. Your fund will now be packaged
in box and take to the diplomatic courier service for immediate
shipment.
Therefore, do forward your full name, home address and direct phone
number for quick delivery because time is not in our side.
All the documents will be sent to you if I am assured that you have
stopped sending money to those fraudster.
