Hello,
 
Am the director cash processing unit, united bank for Africa [UBA the only bank appointed by the A.U. to execute this payment.
 
Because of the frauds going on in West Africa countries where some innocent beneficiaries were asked to pay in advance before receiving their money owed to them. The above Africa union held meeting in Benin republic and resolve to pay all beneficiaries in cash through means of diplomatic courier service. We receive your files from international monetary fund (I.M.F.) as one of the beneficiaries.
 
Take note; ten thousand united state dollars (us$10,000) have been mapped out for all expenses in sending the money to you through genuine diplomatic courier service and how it was spent will be detailed to you. Therefore, I want you to bear it in mind that your total fund will be no more be Five million five hundred thousand united state dollars ($5,500.000.00) but Five million four hundred and ninety thousand united state dollars ($5,490,000.00).
 
If anybody tells you that he is paying you in bank draft or telegraphic money transfer both western union and money gram, do not listen to him or her because due to this frauds no international bank honors our remittance instruction any more that is why we settled to pay in cash through courier.

Dear as a senior banker, controlling this cash payment now, I advise you not to waste your money by paying any body in advance again, and if you just follow my instruction, you will receive your money in three days time.
 
Your funds will now be packaged in box and taken to the diplomatic courier service for immediate shipment, I will also send the picture of the box by attachment to you to see how the money is packed, and I will send you more mails to give you more information for you to know the genuineness of this transaction.
 
Therefore, do forward your home address and direct phone number to me for quick delivery because time is of the essence.
