LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM.

Greetings to you,
I am Rev. Father Fred James, a senior staff with the World Bank fact finding
& special duties office. I am writing you this letter because of the love
i have the poor,and charity as well.
I and the chief security officer (CSO) of this organization have
arranged with an officer in computer section engineer Peter Cliff to bring
out part of your total pending payment sum amounting to US$10 million. Why
we did this is because according to information gathered from the bank?s/security
computer, you have been waiting for a long time to receive your money without
success. As I found out that you have almost met all the statutory requirements
in respect of your pending payment, your problem is that of interest groups.
A lot of people are interested in your payment and those people are merely
doing paper works with you and that explains why you receive fax and phone
messages from different people everyday. I can assure you that this may
last for years yet nothing happens if you do not do away with those officers
that you call your partners. And for security reasons do not tell anybody
that you have your money until you receive cash at your door step.
The money is in a security-proof box weighing 75kg. Yesterday we went to
four courier companies to make arrangements on how to ship them by courier
to you. DHL, EMS, FEDEX, UPS all said that they must open the boxes for inspection
by the customs before shipment. This is something we want to avoid because,We
told them that the box contained film materials and when open will spoil
the materials. We did not declare money because courier does not carry money.
Today a friend of mine who is diplomat disclosed to me that there is a
security courier service they use to send diplomatic materials and information
from one country to another. It has diplomatic immunity and consignment cannot
be checked by any customs anywhere in the world. I have met the officials
of the security courier service and concluded shipping arrangement with them,
which they will commence as soon as i have your go ahead order. The diplomat
will help me so we do not have any problem. We have concluded that you must
donate Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars (US$500,000.00) to any
charity organisation I designate as soon as you receive your money.
To this effect, you will send us a promissory note for Five Hundred Thousand
United States dollars (US$500,000.00) along with your address for sending
the box by courier.
Please maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause a lot of problems if found
out that we are using this way to help you. Do not ever tell anybody know
about this until you have your money. I want to help you because something
in me is telling me that you are an honest person. When you conclude this
and you send our promise, we will help to ship the money to you.
God be with you as we wait for your reply on email address: rev.fredjames@live.com
Yours faithfully,
Rev. Father Fred James.
