    ATTN: Sir/Ma,

    This is to congratulate you and officially inform you that your over
    due payment has been approved for immediate payment by direct cash
    delivery in your country.

    This new method of payment was personal approved by the Presidency
    because of the fraudulent practices going on in our Apex Bank and most
    of our Global Payment

    Centers which have failed to carry out their duties effectively.

    All you need to do now is to forward immediately your delivery
    address, direct phone number and fax number and your contract
    information’s such as contract sum.

    Before the departure of your consignment, we shall process and deliver
    your fund ownership certificate which will prove that you are the
    rightful beneficiary of the fund; it

    will also clear you from tax payment on your contract fund upon the
    arrival of the cargo.

    Note, our commercial Attach=E9 / Diplomat will contact you upon the
    arrival of your consignment before the delivery to your contact
    address where you will sign the

    recipient invoice and produce your identification before they hand
    over your cargo to you.

    Thanks,

    Yours faithfully,
    DR. Richard Ademola.
    Director, cash Payment Dept.

    *Dear Friend,

    It is my pleasure to reach you after our unsuccessful attempt on our
    business transaction. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very
    much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the funds.

    I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with
    the help of a new partner from South America Mr.Alfredo Gomez Castillo.
    Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady
    Accountant who works with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), and she
    rendered a tremendous help to us.My new partner initiated this idea and
    everything worked out successfully.

    In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the funds, I
    have decided to compensate you with the sum of 800,000.00(USD) in a
    Cashier’s draft.

    This is from my own share. I did this simply to show appreciation to you for
    your kind support and assistance even though we couldn’t succeed due to some
    unforseen circumstances. Presently, I am in Paraguay for investment with my
    own share under the advice of my partner.In the light of the above, you are
    therefore to contact my personal secretary in Cotonou Benin Republic his
    name is Mr Linus Unachukwu,and do send him your contact address where you
    want the draft to be sent to you. Stated below is the contact information of
    my secretary:

    So feel free to get in touch with him to send the draft to you without any
    delay ok.
