Dear Beneficiary,

I wish you a Happy and Prosperous New Year.

I write to let you know that I am the new Minister of Finance,
Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Upon my assumption of office, I have investigated and found out that
your inheritance funds have not
been release to you over a long time.

This is very sad because enough funds was mapped out for your payment
and that of other
beneficiaries.

Your delayed payment was caused by the corrupt Government officials
and I have written petition
against them and all of them have been arrested and now been
prosecuted in the Law Court.

The World Bank have released funds to the Government of Nigeria for
the purpose of paying their
Foreign Beneficiaries.

You are one of the beneficiaries that are qualified to receive their
payment and this is the reason I am
contacting.

You are required to send the following for your immediate payment:

1. Full Names
2. Address
3.Telephone Number
4. Any of your National Identity
5. Your Bank information

The above required information is needed for the processing and
transferring of your funds.

It is also very necessary to let you know that the sum of
US$15,000,000,00(Fifteen Million United
States Dollars) is what will be transferred to you as your
inheritance funds upon the receipt of your
above required information.

Your immediate response will facilitate your early payment.

I await your prompt response.

Sincerely,

MRS. ZAINAB AHMED
MINISTER OF FINANCE, FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA
