Subject: Re: Deal for your ATM card
Sir,
My name is Mr. Keneth Ikeobi, the director operations ATM card
department of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I have a deal for you
on how you can receive your payment ATM card without paying for it.
I have in my custody your payment ATM card with the sum of $5M in it
as your payment but the process of claiming this ATM card required
that you pay some money for the release of your ATM card which I’m not
sure you can make at this time for the release of your ATM card.
I will be in your country next week for a 2 week vacation and I’m
suggesting if we can have a deal to come alongside your ATM card with
you as I make the trip to your country.
Sir, I can easily bring your ATM card to you without any problem as I
will be coming to your country by next week but with conditions.
CONDITIONS: The two conditions are (1)On my arrival to your country
with your ATM card, both of us will go to any nearest ATM machine to
confirm the ATM card and once we confirm the card, you will transfer
10% of this money to the account I will present to you as my share of
the funds for the risk I took to get you your ATM card. (2) You will
pay the sum of $200.00 for the activation of the ATM card to be
operational before I bring it to you else the card will not work.
These are the only conditions to bring the ATM card to you and I will
not negotiate on any of these 2 conditions so you should only reply if
you have accepted the conditions else I will not respond to any of
your response.
Thanks and God bless you.
Mr. Keneth Ikeobi
Director, Operations ATM card dept.
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
