My regards to you and your family. I am Ambassador Steven Howard from the US Embassy Ethiopia. Please you need to reply back to me right now and reconfirm to me if you are available to receive your fund in your house immediately today because I am on my way to your house right now so that I must be able to deliver your $2,500,000.00 Million United States Dollars fund from the Embassy to you immediately today.

I want to let you know that some group of corrupted officials diverted your beneficiary fund from the United Nations to a security company in Benin Republic, but you are very lucky that the US Embassy was able to recover your fund from the security company, so I am on my way to your house right now to deliver your fund to you and I must like to deliver the fund to you immediately today. It also came to our notice that those criminals that attempted to divert your fund might be in contact with you in other to confuse you and steal some money from you, but you must avoid any contact with them to avoid you losing your fund, because the authorities must terminate your transaction and return the fund to the government reserve account if you keep dealing with those criminals.

Right now, I am in New York City and I need to start coming to your house right away so that I must be able to deliver your fund to you immediately today.

I want to let you know that it has been agreed by the authorities that you must need to receive your complete fund worth Two Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($2,500,000.00) immediately today, so please you need to reply back to me right away with your available telephone number and also reconfirm your correct home address where you want me to deliver your fund for you, so that I will start coming over to your house right away and deliver your fund to you immediately today as scheduled.
