Attn: Sir/Ma

I am William Brown of the Debt Recovery committee (DRC), International Monetary Fund (IMF). My committee has the mandate to recover unpaid debts associated with contracts, lottery fund, inheritance fund, loans and grants etc ranging from $ 1M- $50M owed to various beneficiaries across the globe (Asia, Europe,USA, Africa, and Australia) and submit the list of the unpaid beneficiaries to the appointed official paying Banks for immediate payment of the fund.

In the course of our investigation, your email address/particulars were listed among the first fifteen yet to be paid hence this communication. However, we received a petition yesterday from one Kurt Wilson that you are dead. According to him, you died in a plane crash therefore that the fund should be paid to him as the heir apparent. He has submitted his Bank account for the transfer of the fund to him.

To avoid undue delay or paying the fund to the wrong beneficiary, hence I have decided to contact you for confirmation. If we don't hear from you after 72 hours of this notice, it will be assumed that the petition of Kurt Wilson is true and the fund will be paid to him without further delay.

We work 24 hrs just to ensure that we monitor all the activities going on in regards to the release of beneficiaries compensation / inheritance and contract payment. You hereby advise to reconfirm the following information below to this honorable office for confirmation and to also help us serve you better.

Your Full Name.................
Your Contact Address...........
Your Office Address..............
Your Occupation.....................
Telephone and Cell Phone..............
A Scan Copy Of Your ID...............

Finally, if you are still alive and did not authorise Kurt Wilson, kindly get back to us immediately and reconfirm your particulars as stated above.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr. William Brown.
Debt Recovery committee (DRC),
International Monetary Fund (IMF)
