Treat Urgent,

This is FBI special agent Eric Johnson. I was delegated alongside others by the United Nations to come over to Africa to investigate fraudsters who had been in the business of swindling foreigners, especially those that had one form of transaction / contracts and another. Please be informed that in the course of our investigation, we detected your name and details in our Scammed Monitoring Network. We also found out that you were scammed of a huge sum of money by impostors via Western Union and MoneyGram. Be informed here that in a bid to alleviate the suffering of scammed victims, the United Nations initiated an compensation program which every scammed victims will benefit from it

However, we have to inform you that we have been able to arrest some of the swindlers who have been in this illicit business and will all be prosecuted accordingly. Be informed as well that we have limited time to stay back here, so we will advise that you urgently respond to this message ASAP. And do not inform any of the people that collected money from you before now about this new development to avoid jeopardizing our investigation. All you need to do is to follow our instructions.

I urgently wait to receive your response.

Regards,
Eric Johnson.
FBI Agent.
