Attention Beneficiary
This is the final warning you are going to receive from me do you get me? I
hope you understand how many times this message has been sent to you?
We have warned you so many times and you have decided
to ignore our e-mails or because you believe we have not been instructed to get
you arrested and today if you fail to respond back to us with the payment
details below,then we would first send a letter to the MAYOR of the city where
you reside and direct them to close yourbank account until you have been jailed
and all your properties will be confiscated by the FBI,CIA and other
enforcement agency. We would also send a letter to the company/agency that you
are working for so that they could get you fired until we are through with our
investigations because a suspect is not suppose to be working for the
government or any private organization.
Your ID which we have in our database have been sent to all the crimes agencies
in America for them to inset you in their website as an internet fraudsters and
to warn people from having any deals with you. This would have been solved all
this while if you had gotten the CERTIFICATE SIGNED,ENDORSED AND STAMPED as you
where instructed in the e-mail below. This is the federal bureau of
investigation (FBI) am writing in response to the e-mail you sent to us and am
using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste
because you have been given a mandate. As stated earlier to have the document
endorsed, signed and stamped without failure and you must adhere to this
directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and
jailed you for life and all your properties confiscated.
You failed to comply with our directives/instruction and that was the reason
why we didn't hear from you, as our director has already been notified about
you get the process completed yesterday and right now the WARRANT OF ARREST has
been signed against you and it will be carried out in the next 48hours as
strictly signed by the FBI director. We have investigated and found out that
you didn't have any idea when the fraudulent deal was committed with your
information's/identity and right now if you ID is placed on our website as a
wanted person, I believe you know that it will be a shame to you and your
entire family because after then it will be announce in all the local channels
that you are wanted by the FBI.
As a good Christian and a Honest man, I decided to see how I could be of help
to you because I would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your
properties confiscated all because your information's was used to carry out a
fraudulent transactions, I called the EFCC and they directed me to a private
attorney who could help you get the process done and he stated that he will
endorse, sign and stamp the document at the sum of $98 usd only and I believe
this process is cheaper for you.
You need to do every possible thing today and tomorrow to get this process done
because our director has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has
been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be
carried out, and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person
that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in benin when he had a
deal with you about the transfer of some illegal funds into your bank account
which is valued at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd.
I pleaded on your behalf so that this agency could give you till 6/08/2016 so
that you could get this process done because I learnt that you were sent
several e-mail without getting a response from you, Bear it in mind that this
is the only way that I can be able to help you at this moment or you would have
to face the law and its consequences once it has befall on you. You would make
the payment through western union money transfer with the below details.

proceed to the bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued
at the sum of $10.500,000.00 usd which was suppose to have been transferred to
