    Central Bank of Nigeria. Our ref: Cbn/Oxg/Okd1/2010
    Telex: Cenbank.
    Payment Schedule Number file: Cbn/Fgn/01/10.

    CODE: 812

    Attn: Ray Dean Thompson,

    This is the acknowledgment of the receipt of your email in respect of your funds value $8million us dollars only and the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) has noted that you have not authorized the release of your USD$8 million to anyone.

    However, we are handicapped on immediate transfer of your USD$8million into your bank account due to contingencies of legal documentation presented by these impostor who claims to her right of your funds. Thus, for the bank to effectively transfer your funds, you will need to help us serve you better in two different ways.

    Firstly, you are required to re-confirm the below information(s):

    1. Full Names:
    2. Full residential address
    3. Your private phone and fax numbers.
    4. Your direct contact address.
    5. Your Marital Status.
    6. Your Occupation.
    7. Your Banking particulars such as Account Holder: Account Number: Bank Name: Bank Address: Routing Number: and Swift Code: where you intend your funds to be remitted into.

    Upon the receipt of these information the Central Bank of Nigeria will begin the process of the transfer of your USD$8million into your bank account provided by you.

    Important Notice

    Secondly, as directed by Mr. Robert Mueller of the FBI, you were advised to contact me for the immediate release of your funds to you, I have received your email and I would want you to understand that your funds have been re-called last week, because you did not forward your claim as the right beneficiary, you have been mislead all this while.

    Note that for security reasons you have been assigned a code/password which is {Code 812}, please note that this code is the reference number for your transfer and it's being disclosed to you alone, guard this jealously and all your email response should carry this code as the subject.

    We are now aware that you did not authorize Mrs. Joan C. Bailey from OHIO who contacted us that she was acting on your authority and that you sent her to collect the US$8,000,000.00 on your behalf, Note that this is now on the records of CBN.

    Kindly note, with regards to the documents in question which Mrs. Joan C.Bailey presented, we are currently investigating the source and so as not to influence our investigations we would have to plead with you to understand that we cannot send it to you till we determine the result of our investigation.

    Now with regards to the remittance of your funds which is long overdue, you have to secure a court injunction from the Federal High Court here to counter the lie placed on the funds so the paying bank can have the authority to get your funds remitted to you at once.

    Mrs. Joan C Bailey in her desperate need to acquire your funds obtained and placed a legal lien on the release of the funds and this means no one can make any transactions on the funds except to her, we know this is no fault of yours but from your confirmation we now know, she is a dubious person who lead us to believe you sent her.

    Also note, the next thing to do now which is very urgent and important is that you would be required to obtain a court injunction order countering this lien and also restraining this dubious woman or any other person from having access to your funds; this is to restrict these woman from transferring your funds and also we can begin the process of transferring the funds to your designated bank account.

    To secure this court injunction order, You will need to File an application at the Federal High Court here through the CBN accredited attorney who will do that on your behalf after we must have received re-confirmation of your information.Thus, we again implore to respond promptly so that the attorney can get the application filed on time and get quick response letter with the requirements of the Federal High Court for the release of the court injunction order to you. I will inform you of the next step once I receive your response.


    Be informed that the FBI would be monitoring the whole process to ensure we release your funds to you so you have nothing to worry about,You can reach me on my private phone numbers: Tel: (+234 1 891 6535) Mobile: (+234 802 696 7816) at all times.

    Thanks for your understanding and co-operation.

    Congratulation!

    Yours sincerely,

    This is one of the most well know and common frauds on the internet, People who email a lot will get 4 to 10 of those a day in various types,

    I get that exact one about 4 or 5 times a month.

    It plays off the common thing in many people "GREED" and people feeling that they can get something for nothing.

    The way it works, you will be asked for so much money to pay various things, transfer fees, taxes, processing fee and the such. If they get you to pay a little, first, they will keep asking for a little more, and more and more.

    Here in GA they recently took a elderly lady for about 20,000 in "fees" over a period of two months and of course no money will ver dome.

    This is most likely a scam, so do not send them anything including any personal information!! If you provide them with the information reuested, then they more than likely steal everything in your bank account and will steal your your identity.
