Subject: Re: IMF message,
We wish to inform you that you are among those whose pending payment
has been approved by the IMF in conjunction with the World Bank. The
fund release has been delayed as a result of your dealings with
unauthorized individuals, so you are advised to stop every
communication with anybody/institution regarding the payment.
These funds originated from unpaid contract sums, inheritance/next of
kin and lottery beneficiaries that originated from Europe, Asia Plus
Middle East, America and Africa. You are among the list of individuals
and companies whose unpaid funds have been approved for payment under
the supervision of the International Monetary Fund regional
Headquarters here in West Africa.
We do hereby ask you to contact this office within 48 hours of
receiving this notification. Please reconfirm your full name and
contact telephone number to enable us to normalize the documents in
your name and advise you on how to make your claim.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Robert Carter
Coordinator, International Settlement Unit.
