Dear Sir,

I write to officially introduce myself as Dr.Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. I am currently the New Honourable Minister of Finance for the Federal Republic of Nigeria, a position I assumed in July 2011. I am writing by virtue of this email communication to inform you about the outcome of the Federal Executive Council meeting held today 2nd March 2012, under the instructions of our New President. Dr. Good-Luck Jonathan. However, In that financial seating, the President, Dr. Goodluck has given instruction to sign off your funds among the twenty four (24) approved funds for immediate payment without any form of delay. The President has mandated that the CitiBank Group should take charge of the approved payments to 24 beneficiaries, of which you are among. All approved funds has been guaranteed by the President to be paid out via "SWIFT telegraphic wire transfer" ONLY. This Memorandum is to notify you that you will be settled by the CitiBank Group from our Financial Treasury Deposit Account
.

However, be informed that a "presidential tag release codes" must be obtained from the Office of the President for a fee of $100.00 dollars only. The "presidential tag release codes" is a 16-digit reference code number, which will be sent to the CitiBank Group for the immediate release and subsequent transfer of your funds into your bank account via SWIFT KTT. And the $100.00 dollar fee charged for issuance of the "presidential tag release codes" is the ONLY out of pocket fees to be paid for your final fund release.

Therefore, I write to officially acknowledge the fact that you are willing to complete this transfer but you are skepticism about the transfer due to your past experience with greedy officers, Well, My identity can be verified by simply clicking on the URL link below: http://www.fmf.gov.ng/the-ministry/management-team/honourable-minister.html . However, be informed that before we can give final credit instruction to the Citibank N.A for final credit of funds into your Bank account a "Presidential tag release codes" must be obtained from the Office of the President for a fee of $100.00 dollars, which you must pay within 24 hours upon your receipt of this payment notification. Hence, you must arrange to secure and send the $100.00 USD as quickly as possible. However, I cannot cover the fee of $100.00 dollars on your behalf, because it is a breach of diplomatic protocols under the section 103 act 2 of 2003 signed into law by the formal President Obasanjo.

Hence, Your prompt reply to this email will be greatly appreciated. The information required to send the $100 dollars is hereby reconfirmed below.

Recipient's Name: JOHN MICHAEL
Destination: Lagos - Nigeria
Test question: Year
Test answer: 2012

Thanks for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

Yours truly,

Dr.Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Honourable Minister of Finance
Federal Republic of Nigeria
