Subject: Re-Validation & Release of Your Payment


From the Desk of:
Jeff Franks
Executive Director
(IMF) Int’l Fund Management Office

Re-Validation & Release of Your Payment

We have been commissioned by the Governing Board of the International
Monetary Fund (IMF) to investigate the long years delay in settlement
of your beneficiary payment, and ensure that the payment is finally
released this time around. BE ASSURED ON THIS AND HOLD US TO ACCOUNT.
During the course of our investigation, we discovered with dismay that
your payment has been unnecessarily delayed over the years by corrupt
African officials who have ensured amongst themselves that the payment
is always denied you at the very last minute. THIS IS A BIG SHAME TO
THEM.

Therefore, to ensure that the process of the fund release is not
compromised any further, we have agreed with the relevant authorities,
that we will handle release of this payment by establishing a
“Direct
Payment System” otherwise known as DPS-eliminating the African
officials retail aspect which has been responsible for the delay to
date. Thus, the DPS arrangement is to ensure a speedy and more direct
relationship between you and the fiduciary paying bank that will have
your TRUST and sincerity of processing the payment release to you.

Pursuant to this, you are to confirm receipt of this mail and your
consent to the arrangement, which once received, shall then enable us
to proceed to certify the payment and then link you up directly with
the fiduciary payment bank for the payment release arrangement without
any hitch or delays. Your very prompt attention will be necessary.

Yours truly,

Jeff Franks
Executive Director
