We the Department of Homeland Security Washington, DC. through our Global intelligence monitoring network in conjunction with some other relevant investigation agencies here in the United states of America and abroad have recently been informed by BARCLAYS BANK PLC, that one Mr. Stephen Thomas, a canadian citizen has presented documents of claim purported to have been signed by you for the release of your beneficiary/winning settlement of Five million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars (US$ 5.5M) only, which have been processed and sealed for your transfer. The Barclays Bank PLC demands an explanation for this development as it has aroused suspicicions from the fraud department of the bank and hence, we were informed to look into the situation.

They also told us that the only problem they are facing right now is that some impersonators are using this project as an avenue to extort innocent citizens of their hard earned money which we at the Department of Homeland Security are aware of and we are currently working to put a stop to that. They further informed us that we should warn our dear citizens who must have been informed of the beneficiary/winnings programme set up by the United Nations in conjuction with Opec Member Nations, Dubai Duty Free and Barclays Bank PLC, to be very careful prior to this irregularities so that they don't fall victim to this ugly circumstance.
