    This position has the following benefits:
    1) Your salary is 15% from each payment.
    2) You don’t have to wait end of month to get paid. You salary is included into each payment to your account.
    3) You do not spend your own money and there are no startup fees. All charges for withdrawal or transferring the money will be deducted from the payment.
    4) Your financial information will never be disclosed to third parties.

Insurance and delivery charges have been paid for, but the only fee remaining is the security safe keeping fee of $198,00 USD which you will be required to pay before delivery. However, this was not paid for because of demurrage. Well, I did forward them your delivery address, but a re-confirmation is important when contacting them if you want to change your address. I advice you quote the parcel and shipment code to them for onward delivery to your re-confirmed address.The ATM MASTERCARD has pin number 8876.

    Dear Friend,
    It is based on the information and recommendation satisfactorily gathered concerning you/your company that I have decided to discuss this project with you.Please note that my contacting you is to enable us talk and to establish trust which I feel would be the basis of our cooperation.
    My Name is Mr Benedict Bruce, Head of Contract Payment Committee. My Committee is responsible for processing of contract payments on completed projects.This information which I am about to disclosed to you is very confidential, read carefully and get back to me for details.
    It is about a Contracting Company here in Benin owned by a Foreign Contractor who has an unpaid contract fund (Euro 5.8Million), for supply and installation of Industrial Equipments to the Benin Mines & Energy Industry .This contract project was completed in November. 2003 But unfortunately the contractor, His wife and the only child died in a plane crash before the contract payment was approved.
    See details of the plane crash from any of the below Website;

    http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/en/doc/2003-12/26/content_293549.htm
    Upon receipt of the completion report from the site inspectors, My office secured the release of the fund and subsequently, the fund were deposited in one of the Financial Company here in our Country in the name of the contractor/firm.But since 2004, the fund was deposited, I have been expecting any of deceased’s relatives to come for the claim but till today, no body has shown up,so from all indications, none of His relatives is aware of this fund. This is a top secret and no other person here know about this, everyone believes that the deceased contractor has received his contract fund.
    It is on this note that I decided to contact you to use my position to recommend you as the business partner to the deceased, so that this fund will be released to you and you will have 40% while 60% will be for me.There is no risk involved and all documents to facilitate the smooth conclusion of this transaction are legitimate and officially in order.

    ATTENTION FUND BENEFICIARY,

    This is an official advice from the FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION (FBI). It has come to our notice that the some certain Bank in Nigeria district has released 10,500,000.00 US dollars into The Bank of America in your name as the beneficiary.

    The C.B.N Bank Nigeria knowing fully well that they do not have Enough facilities to effect this payment from Asia or the United Kingdom to your account, used what we know as a Secret Diplomatic Transit Payment (S.T.D.P) to pay this fund which was completed till this day. Direct transfers are difficult and Secret Diplomatic Payments are not made unless the funds are related to terrorist activities and we ask why must your payment be made in secret transfer if your transaction is legitimate.

    Records which we have had with this method of payment in the past has always been related to terrorist acts, we do not want you to get into trouble as soon as these funds reflect in your account in the U.S.A, so it is our duty as an International commission to correct this little problems before this fund will be credited into your personal account.

    Due to the increased difficulty and unnecessary security by the American authorities when funds come from outside of Europe, and the Middle East, the F.B.I bank commission for Europe has stopped the transfer on its way to deliver payment of $10,500,000.00 to debit your reserve account and pay you through a Secured Diplomatic Transit Account (S.D.T.A). We govern and oversee funds transfer for the World Bank and the rest of the world.

    We advice you contact us immediately, as the funds have been Stopped and are being held in our custody, until you can be able to provide us with a Diplomatic Immunity Seal of Transfer (DIST) within 3 days from the local bank that authorize the transfer from where the funds was transferred from to certify that the funds that you are about to receive from Nigeria are antiterrorist/drug free or we shall have cause to cross and impound the Payment, we shall release the funds immediately we receive this legal documents.

Note that the fund is in the BANK OF AMERICA right now, but we have ask them not to credit the fund to you yet, because we need a solid proof and Verifications from you before releasing the funds.

    So to this regards you are to re-assure and proof to us that what you are about to receive is a clean money by sending to us FBI Identification Record and also Diplomatic Immunity Seal Of Transfer(DIST) to satisfy to us that the money your about to receive is legitimate and real money. You are to forward the documents to us immediately if you have it in your possession, if you don’t have it let us know so that we will direct and inform you where to obtain the document and send to us so that we will ask the bank holding the funds, the Bank Of America to go ahead Crediting your account immediately.

    An FBI Identification Record and Diplomatic Immunity Seal Of Transfer (DIST) often referred to as a Criminal History Record or Rap Sheet, is a listing of certain information taken from fingerprint submissions retained by the FBI in connection with arrests and, in some instances, federal employment, naturalization, or military service. These Condition Is Valid until 10TH OF NOV. 2008 after we shall take actions on Canceling the payment and then charge you for illegally moving funds out of Nigeria. Guarantee: Funds will be released on confirmation of the document.
