Attention:

The Federal Government of Nigeria through provisions in Section 419 of the Criminal Code

came up with punitive measures to aprehend and punish offenders.The Advance Fee Fraud section

deal mainly with cases of advance fee fraud(commonly called 419) such as obtaining by false

pretence through different fraudulent schemes e.g. contract scam, credit card/ATM card

scam, inheritance scam, western union transfer scam, EFCC compensation scam, FBI

investigation scam, compensation scam, job scam, loan scam, lottery scam, “wash wash” scam

(money washing scam), marriage scam. Immigration scam, counterfeiting and religious scam.

This is to officially announce to you that some scam syndicates were apprehended in Lagos,

Nigeria few days ago at western union agent office when they were about to pick up some

money sent to them by their scam victims and they were handed over to our Investigation

Department, after several interrogations and tortures your name and contact detail were

found in their computer note book as a victim of their operations. Hence all their bank

account discovered with huge sum have been frozen.

Inrespect to the above incidence, a meeting was held between the Board of Directors of The

Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) and it was agreed that the sum of seventy

thousand US Dollars (US$70,000 only) should be transferred to you out of the funds that

Federal Government of Nigeria has set aside to compensate everyone who have sent money to

fraudsters in Nigeria, because your name were among those mentioned by the scam syndicates.

Right now we are working hand in hand with Western Union and Interpol to track every

fraudsters down. The purpose for this is to regain the lost glory of our great country

Nigeria and to also show the entire world that this government is highly ready to fight

corruption, in 2007 we were rated as one of the most corrupt countries in the world and it

is never a good title. Do not respond to their e-mails, letters and phone calls any longer

they are scammers and you should be very careful to avoid being a victim to fraudsters any

longer because they have nothing to offer you but to rip-off what you have worked hard to

earn.

Important: Please do not send your email address and password to anybody. Take note of this

because there are lots of fraudsters out there claiming to be your email administrator

requesting for email address and password. If you have already done that before it is

strongly recommended that you change your password immediately or register a new email

address.

***Please note that we will NO LONGER be liable for any loss, cost or expense, whatsoever,

suffered or incurred by You in connection with the fraudsters. Be warned!

Please note that an international draft containing the sum of US$70,000 has been raise and

will be mail to your address via FedeX courier service while you cash the draft at any

government approved bank within your location.

Please also note that the government did not make any provision for the cost deleivery of

you draft which is involves $80 only. You are hereby required to reconfirm your full name

and address for immediate delivery of your draft while you will be advised on how to pay

for the cost of delivery.
