* This is an official advice from the FBI, It has come to our notice that
the C.B.N Bank Nigeria district has released 10,500,000.00 US dollars into

* The C.B.N Bank Nigeria knowing fully well that they do not have Enough
facilities to effect this payment from the united kingdom to your account,
used what we know as a secret diplomatic transit payment (S.T.D.P) to pay

payment.*

always been related to terrorist acts, we do not want you to get into
trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your account in the U.S.A, So
it’s our duty as a world wide commission to correct this little problem
before the fund will be credited into your personal account.*
* Due to the increased difficulty and unnecessary security by the American
authorities when funds come from outside of Europe, and the Middle East,
the F.B.I bank commission for Europe has stopped the transfer on its way to
deliver payment of $10,500,000.00 to debit your reserve account and pay you
through a secured diplomatic transit account (S.D.T.A). We govern and
oversee funds transfer for the World Bank and the rest of the world. We
advise you contact us immediately, as the funds have been Stopped and are
being held in our custody, until you can be able to provide us with a
diplomatic immunity seal of transfer (DIST) within 5 days from the world
local bank that authorize the transfer from where the funds was transferred
from to certify that the funds that you are about to receive from Nigeria
are antiterrorist/drug free or we shall have cause to cross and impound the
Payment, we shall release the funds immediately we receive this legal
documents.*
* So to this regards you are to re-assure and proof to us that what you are

Authorized the transfer, so get back to us immediately if you don’t have
the document so that we will inform you the particular place to obtain the
document in United Kingdom (U.K), because we have come to realize that the
fund was Authorized by (H.S.B.C) Bank in London.*
