Subject: your draft is ready
ATTENTION: VICTIM-FULLNAME
DUE TO THE UNRELENTLESS EFFORTS OF THOSE UNSCRUPULOUS ELEMENTS WHO ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO SABOTAGE THE EFFORTS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA BY DIVERTING CONTRACTOR'S FUNDS, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT WE CHANGE OUR MODUS OPERANDI SO AS TO ENABLE US MEET OUR FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS TO OUR NUMEROUS ESTEEM CONTRACTORS WORLDWIDE.
CONCERNING YOUR CONTRACT SUM WHICH YOU ARE YET TO RECEIVE, I WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT THE FUND HAS BEEN APPROVED FOR PAYMENT AFTER HEAVY DELIBERATIONS WITH MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY.WE HAVE UNANIMOUSLY AGREED THAT ALL CONTRACTORS WOULD BE PAID BY CLASSIFIED BANK DRAFT WHICH HAS BEEN RAISED.
THE DRAFT WOULD BE BROUGHT TO YOU BY 2 GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS,ONE FROM THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY AND THE OTHER FROM THE BANK. THESE 2 OFFICIALS WOULD COME TO YOUR COUNTRY WITH THE CLASSIFIED BANK DRAFT AND WOULD FOLLOW YOU TO YOUR BANK TO PAY IN THE DRAFT IN YOUR BANK AND THEY WOULD REMAIN IN YOUR COUNTRY UNTIL YOU CONFIRM THE FUND IN YOUR BANK ACCOUNT BEFORE THEY WOULD COME BACK TO NIGERIA.
THIS MODE OF PAYMENT CAME UP AFTER SERIOUS DELIBERATIONS BY MEMBERS OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE IN THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY SO AS TO BEAT THE NUMEROUS PRANKS OF CON MEN AND IMPOSTORS WHO HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF DAMAGE TO THE IMAGE OF THIS WONDERFUL COUNTRY BOTH IN AFRICA AND ABROAD.
THE PRESIDENT OF THIS NATION HAS APPROVED THIS MODE OF PAYMENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY APPROVED A TRAVEL AGENCY DOWN HERE IN NIGERIA THAT WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE TICKETS OF THE OFFICIALS THAT WOULD BE TAKING THE DRAFTS TO CONTRACTORS WORLDWIDE SO AS TO ENABLE THEM MONITOR THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF PAYMENT.
YOU ARE HEREBY ADVISED TO SEND THE SUM OF $4,000 USD($2,000 EACH) FOR BOTH OFFICIALS FOR THE TICKETS OF THE 2 OFFICIALS THAT WOULD BE BRINGING THE DRAFT TO YOUR COUNTRY. THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU CAN RECEIVE YOUR CONTRACT SUM AND AS SOON AS YOU SEND THIS MONEY FOR THE TICKET, COPIES OF THE INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OF THE OFFICIALS WOULD BE SENT TO YOU FOR YOUR PERUSAL AND EASY IDENTIFICATION AT THE AIRPORT AS WELL AS THEIR FLIGHT SCHEDULE.
IT WOULD INTREST YOU TO KNOW THAT WE ARE AWARE OF THE $10,000,00 YOU SENT TO MR WILLIAMS HERE IN NIGERIA LAST WEEK OR THERE ABOUT,IT IS ALSO PARAMOUNT TO TELL YOU THAT THE PAYMENTS OFFICERS WHOM YOU ARE SURPOSE TO MEET WITH IN HOLLAND HAS BEEN DISOLVED SO BE CAREFUL WITH THE TYPE OR CALIBRA OF PEOLPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH.
N/B.SEND ME YOUR FULL INFORMATIONS FOR RECOMFIRMATIONS TO AVOID DRAFT DIVERSION.
CONGRATULATIONS IN ADVANCE.
REGARDS
DR.Alex Offor
