Personal Memo
DEAR BENEFICIARY,
HOW ARE YOU DOING TODAY HOPE THIS MESSAGE MEETS YOU WELL? I AM REV.
FR.ANTHONY PAUL, A SENIOR STAFF WITH THE WORLD BANK AUDIT GROUP IN
SENEGAL (WBAG). I AM WRITING YOU THIS LETTER BECAUSE COOL PENNY IS
BETTER THAN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS. IT IS BETTER FOR ONE TO LIVE AND DIE
POOR HONEST MAN THAN A RICH DISHONEST ONE.
I AND THE CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER (CSO) OF THE WORLD BANK ZONAL
OFFICE, HERE IN SENEGAL, HAVE ARRANGED WITH AN OFFICER IN THE
COMPUTER SECTION {ENGINEER NGOYE DIAMA} TO BRING OUT PART OF YOUR
TOTAL CONTRACT SUM AMOUNTING TO US$10 MILLION. WHY WE DID THIS IS
BECAUSE ACCORDING TO INFORMATION GATHERED FROM THE DEBT OWNED TO THE
FOREIGN CONTRACTORS BY THE WEST AFRICAN GOVERNMENT (S), THAT 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 OF THE PAYING COUNTRY, IN RESPECT OF YOUR CONTRACT
PAYMENT. YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF INTEREST GROUP. A LOT OF PEOPLE IS
INTERESTED IN YOUR PAYMENT AND THOSE PEOPLE ARE MERELY DOING PAPER
WORKS WITH YOU. ALSO WE FOUND OUT THAT SOME OF THE OFFICIALS HAVE
BEEN EXTORTING A LOT OF MONEY FROM YOU WITH THE PRETEXT OF HELPING
YOU TO RECEIVE YOUR MONEY. I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT THIS MAY LAST FOR
YEARS, YET NOTHING HAPPENS IF YOU DO NOT DO AWAY WITH THOSE OFFICERS
YOU ENGAGE WITH FOR SECURITY REASON.
THE MONEY IS IN ONE SECURITY-PROOF BOX WEIGHING 110KG. RECENTLY, A
FRIEND OF MINE WHO IS A DIPLOMAT DISCLOSED TO ME THAT THERE IS A
COURIER SERVICE COMPANY THEY USE TO SEND DIPLOMATIC MATERIALS,
INFORMATION AND OTHER VALUABLES FROM ONE COUNTRY TO ANOTHER. IT HAS
DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY AND CANNOT BE CHECKED BY ANY CUSTOMS ANYWHERE IN
THE WORLD. YESTERDAY, WE MET WITH THE SECURITY COURIER COMPANY AND
FINALIZED AND CONCLUDED ARRANGEMENTS ON HOW TO SHIP THE MONEY BY
COURIER TO YOU.
WE TOLD THE COURIER SERVICE COMPANY THAT THE BOXES CONTAINED FILM
MATERIALS, AND WHEN OPEN WILL SPOIL THE MATERIALS. WE DID NOT DECLARE
MONEY BECAUSE COURIER DOES NOT CARRY MONEY. THIS IS SOMETHING WE WANT
TO AVOID BECAUSE THE BOXES WERE PADDED WITH SYNTHETIC NYLON AND TO
OPEN THEM, YOU HAVE TO CUT THE PAD BEFORE YOU WILL MEET THE BUTTONS
THAT YOU WILL PRESS TO OPEN THE DIAL CODE-LOCK. THERE IS NO WAY YOU
CAN OPEN THE BOXES AND BE ABLE TO CLOSE THEM AGAIN BECAUSE THEY WERE
PADDED WITH MACHINE. I WILL MEET THEM 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 COMPENSATE US BY DONATING THE SUM OF
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US$500,000.00) TO CHARITY
(LESS PRIVILEGES), AS SOON AS YOU RECEIVE YOUR MONEY.
TO THIS EFFECT, YOU WILL SEND TO ME A PROMISSORY NOTE FOR FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLAR (US$500,000.00). HOWEVER, DO
RECONFIRM YOUR DELIVERY ADDRESS FOR SENDING THE BOXES 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 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
AND YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LOT IN THE PROCESS OF REALIZING YOUR
MONEY.WHEN YOU CONCLUDE THIS AND YOU SEND OUR PROMISE, WE WILL HELP
TO SHIP THE FINAL PART OF YOUR MONEY TO YOU.GOD BE WITH US AS WE WAIT
FOR YOUR REPLY.
PLEASE DO NOT FAIL TO Email ME ON : rev_fr_panthony@yahoo.it or
paanthony@mixmail.com UPON YOUR RECEIPT OF THIS IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
Yours faithfully,
REV. FR. ANTHONY PAUL
