ATTN: BENEFICIARY!
FOREIGN DEBT RECONCILIATION
We are very sorry for the delay in transferring this fund (US$10M) urgently to you; please don't be angry with us because we have some good reason for that.
Our reason are: in the Year 2004, the United Nations office in London partly got burnt and most contractors information were lost, so in our view and efforts to retrieve that, we unanimously decided to go online and since most of computers were HP (Hewlett and Packard), we decided to go online to the HP database to re-coup information and there your names were seen to match one of the missing names in the unpaid contractor's payroll.
Many unscrupulous elements and impostors have used those opportunities to deceive many contractors, which are one of the reasons, you have to abide by the rules and regulation of this organization to get your funds. Any strange mails, mostly related to fund transfer should be forwarded to this office for screening.
Now we have contacted you for immediate wire of your fund to your nominated account. We are really sorry to have delayed this fund for the past four year, it was due to the fact that we have many unpaid and we are taking this payment serially to make sure no one is missed out, and now is your turn. Do not delay to get strapped by the United Nations deadline of Seven (7) working days from the day you were contacted for movement of your fund out of London to your private account.
Lastly, I want you to believe the fact that whatever I advice you as regarding this transfer is for your own benefits, as you can see, we are mandated to conclude this transfer within the next seven (7) working days from the day you were contacted and that made it that we have limited time to conclude the requirements. You need to be faster before the deadline because I cannot foretell what next will be the United Nation Policy over this.
Reconfirm the followings:
(1) Your full name (2) Address (3) Personal Cell phone /fax and mobile (4) Company Name (5) Occupation (6) Occupation, Age and Marital Status (7) copy of your Int'l passport /driver's license (8)equity line of credit {yes} or {no}
Note: Your whole (entire) will been transferred to the paying Bank soon we receive it; they will contact you soon to proceed.
Many thanks for understanding and co-operation and patience.
CONGRATULATIONS!
Mrs BETTY WRIGHT
SENIOR SPECIAL ASSISTANT
TO: MR. BAN KI-MOON,
SECRETARY general.
