Subject: Your Payment From Western union
—
After proper and several investigations and research at Western Union and
Money Gram Office, we found your name in Western Union database among those
that have sent money through Western Union and this proves that you have
truly been swindled by those unscrupulous persons by sending money to them
through Western Union/Money Gram in the course of getting one fund or the
other that is not real.
In this regard a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of WESTERN
UNION, MONEY GRAM, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) alongside with
the Ministry of Finance, As a consequence of our investigations it was
agreed that the sum of one Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars
($150,000.00 USD) should be transferred to you out from the funds that The
United States Department of the Treasury has set aside as compensation
payment for scam victims. This case would be handled and supervised by the
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).
We have submitted your details to them so that your funds can be
transferred to you.
