We were informed that some Hoodlums have contacted you in respect to the collection of your fund which was long approved in your favor with the Central Bank of Nigeria. As a matter of fact we have been on the investigation for some time now codedly known to no one but the Presidency,some top government official who are in support of this investigation team and the F.B.I.
We have been able to come up with some good result about the people that have extorted money from you illegally and i have listed there names so that you will personally indicate them by writing back to us with the name of the person or persons that have scammed you as we want to make sure your payment is routed to you without any further delay.

Recently, we discovered that they now use the name of top government officials to contact people all over to world to extort money from them. You are hereby advised to stop contact with any of the above listed persons as soon as you receive this email.
The above listed names are been traced/investigated by the EFCC and some of them have eloped the country and note that if any of them is caught and found guilty he/she we go to jail for 25 years(twenty five years) as it is under the Decree 47 of the constitution of Federal Republic of Nigeria under the section of criminal law. So we are waiting for you to write us back and inform us if any of the above names have Extorted money from you or once contacted you so that we can start taking the necessary procedural steps prior to bringing them to book and having your fund released to you as nominated accordingly. In case the name of the Hoodlum that scammed you is not listed above, we will advise that you forward to us his name and his contact so that we can trace them and as well bring them to book.Note that the only office/paying bank that has the right to pay or contact you prior to the Transfer of your fund, is the Federal Ministry of Finance which is currently been headed by the Finanace minister (Dr. Shamsudeen Usman). You are further advised to deal directly with her and do what so ever you are asked to do because that is the only way you will achieve success in the wire of your funds to you as designated. We apologies on behalf of the President and the people of Nigeria for any delay and lost this must have cost you in any way and promise that such thing will not occur again in the future and in case you are currently dealing with any one of them regarding your fund, we urge you to stop further contact with them as you are taking a very big risk and it might interest you to know that you will never get your fund from them as they have nothing to offer. The hoodlums will continue coming up with expenses and thereby requesting for money from you until you go Bankrupt. Hence, your fund is currently deposited with the above named Ministry and in safe hands.
Finally, we are expecting to hear from you today unfailingly so as to enable us serve you better and wire your funds into your Bank account as nominated. Thank you very much for your anticipated co-operation and understanding while we wait for your urgent response.
