From the Desk of:
Bernard Lauwers

Dear Beneficiary,

Re-validation & Release of Your Payment

We’ve 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 to ensure that the payment is finally
released this time around. BE ASSURED ON THIS AND HOLD US TO ACCOUNT.
Course of investigation has discovered with dismay that your payment
was unnecessarily delayed over the years by corrupt African officials
who ensured amongst themselves the payment is always denied to you at
the very last minute. THIS IS A BIG SHAME TO THEM. Avoiding further
compromise, a “Direct Payment System” DPS-eliminating African
officials retail aspect, responsible for delay to date, is
established. Thus, DPS ensures speedy and direct relationship between
you and the fiduciary paying bank you’ll have their TRUST and
sincerity of processing the payment release to you. We await your
consent to the letter in order to certify release and thereon link you
directly to the fiduciary paying bank in EUROPE for payment release
arrangement devoid of any hitch or delays.

Truly yours,
Bernard Lauwers,
