SPECIAL CHRISTMAS BONANZA! BONANZA!! BONANZA!!! TO YOU, HAPPY NEW MONTH OF CHRISTMAS,

This is to notify all our clients about the latest development concerning all the payments that are left in our custody which yours is inclusive. You were given a High bill to pay for your transfer paper permit of your fund in order to receive your PAYMENT of which we didn’t hear from you for some time now.

The AFRICAN UNION (AU) Head Office held a meeting today being 15th DECEMBER 2020 with WESTERN UNION and MONEYGRAM departments. The issue at the meeting is that they are now offering a Special Christmas Bonus to help all our customers and this bonus is extended to you to claim your abandoned fund in our custody which was due to the high price of obtaining your clearance paper. In order words, we are now requesting that you should go ahead now and pay only the sum of $50 to receive your PAYMENT abandoned in our custody.

You shall be receiving $8,000 each day. You will receive your first payment of $4000 once we hear back from you and the next transfer shall be made after 3hours of confirming your first payment. This is a total of $8000 per day.

My dear, this is the opportunity for you to lay hands on your long overdue and rightful fund. I advise you to comply with us now and your total funds of $800,000.00 shall be transferred to your destination address before we go on Christmas holiday. Note that after DECEMBER 20th you did not make the payment of $50.00, then we will divert your funds to the government treasury account to avoid problems or we will cancel the payment because we are about to enter into our end of year Project.

Note That after the DECEMBER 20th We will enter the end of the year project for the year and that is the reason we decided to help all our customers before we enter the end of year project. Be advised to send this $50.00 immediately if you are still willing to claim your payment so that we will register your payment once we receive the transfer paper permit activation because you will start receiving your payment as from tomorrow morning by 10AM in your Country time. $4000 from western union another second payment of $4000.00 will be sent before 1:30 PM in the afternoon by your time making it a total of $8,000 that you shall pick up tomorrow.

After the payment of $50.00, we will give you the full information to pick up your first/second payment of $8,000 through Any Branch of Western Union In your Country.

I am looking forward to receiving the transfer information of the $50.00 immediately to enable us to give you the full information which you will use to pick up your payment in any western union. Beware that if you fail to comply by getting back to us today with the required activation/file clearance fee, you will lose your payment because you have only this week.
