Greetings.
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.
