After several attempt to reach you , We deemed it necessary and urgent to
notify you finally about the outstanding settlement of your compensation
fund that was given by United Nation to you. This compensation made for all
the people that have transaction with Africans that lost their money along
the line and after business failed, Now the victims are given a lot of
complains and report to the United Nation. Now UN decided to give each of
every one of you the sum of 4,000.000.00 Euro to pay all your debts and
start a new business and forget about the transaction.
That was the mean reason Kofi Anna, the formal secretary-general of the
United Nation organized this West African Monitoring institution, just to
regain the image of dear nation.
We West African Monitoring institution has taken upon our selves to settle
these very bills, because of the dubious attitude of the apex institution in
Africawho have made things difficult to their dear client.
On the detailed verification and reconciliation of your file, it was crystal
to us that you are the rightful beneficiary to the said fund which has been
delayed due to lack of information about the position of this Fund that was
made on your behalf for so long up till date.
However after our due checking of your file and it was satisfactory approved
for payment that is why we contacted you for urgent release of your
compensation fund? You have to disengage from any body or impersonated
officers who claim to be in position of your fund, thereby misleading and

matters has decided to pay this fund to you through our paying bank here in

you through ouraffiliate banks..

payment dispatching the senate in collaboration with federal ministry of

revalidations payment. So, you are advice to contact the bank and forward
