My name is Mr. Mike Obi a Computer Scientist at the Central Bank of Nigeria. I am 30 years old, I just started work with C.B.N. and I came across your payment file which was marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to study it and found out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees and certificate to receive your payment but the fund has not been release to you. The most annoying thing is that they cannot tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release this fund to you; instead, they let you spend money unnecessarily.

I do not intend to work in this ministry all the days of my life as I can release the fund to you if you certify me of my security, and how I can run away from this Nigeria if I do this, because if after doing this and did not run away from this country, I will be seriously in trouble and my life will be in danger. Please this is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria; you may not understand it because you are not a Nigerian.

The only thing I will need to release this fund is a (girdle guide 250 GIG MONEY MATERIAL diskette, used by banks for international fund transfer. I will buy two of it, recopy your information, destroy the previous one, and punch the computer to enable funds to reflect into your bank account within 24 banking hours. Upon confirmation of the HARD DISK, I will clean up tracer and destroy your file, after which I will run away from Nigeria to meet with you. If you have read and satisfy with my information, do get back to me immediately with your full details,

Please take note that the fund is mainly for scam victims of any kind, the time is now so act fast and stop further dealings with those internet criminals because they do not have the legal backing to release your fund.

Thanks for your cooperation

Yours faithfully,
