Greetings to you,
I am Rev. Father Jones Maxwell Harth, a senior staff with the World Bank
fact finding & special duties office. I am writing you this letter because
cool penny is better than million of dollars. It is better for one to live
and die poor honest man than a rich dishonest one. The Chief security
officer (CSO) of this organization and I have arranged with an officer in
computer section, engineer Peter Cliff has agreed to bring out part of your
total 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 fund settlement. Your problem is that of interest groups. A lot of
people are interested in your payment and those people are merely doing
papers works with you and that is why you receive messages from different
people every day. Also we found out that some of the officials of the
parasitals 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
call your partners, and for security reasons. Do not tell anybody that you
have your money until you receive cash at your doorstep.
The money is in two security proof boxes weighing 110kg each, which is 220kg
for the two boxes. We went to four courier companies to make arrangements on
how to ship them by courier to you, we went to DHL, FEDEX, IAS, UPS, and all
said that they must open the boxes for inspection by the customs before
shipment. 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. We told the courier services that the boxes
contained film materials and when open will spoil the materials. We did not
declare money because couriers do not carry money. Today a friend of mine
who is diplomat disclosed to me that there is courier service they use to
send diplomatic material and information from one country to another. It has
diplomatic immunity and cannot check by any customs any where in the World.
The name of the courier service is Oxford Security Courier Service (OSCS) I
will meet them as soon as I have your go ahead order. The Diplomat will help
me to get immunity papers, so we do not have any problem. We have concluded
that you must compensate us with five hundred thousand United States Dollars
(US$500.000.00) as soon as you receive your money to this effect, you will
send to us a promissory note for five hundred thousand united States Dollars
(US$500.000.00) along with your identifcation and address for sending the
boxes by courier, Please maintain top most secrecy as it may cause a lot of
problem 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 when we concluded this and you send our promise. We will help
to ship the final part of your money to you. Be blessed as we wait for your
urgent reply. For security reason please reply to **

Yours faithfully,
Rev. Father Jones Maxwell Harth.
