Happy New Year, We the IMF would like to bring to the notice of the
general public that several variants of financial scam letters
purporting to be sanctioned by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) or
authored by high ranking IMF officials are currently in circulation, and
may appear on official letterhead containing the IMF logo. The scam
letters instruct potential victims to contact the IMF for issuance of a
“Certificate of International Capital Transfer” or other forms of
approval, to enable them receives large sums of monies as beneficiaries.
The contact e-mail information is always BOGUS and unsuspecting
individuals are then requested to send their personal banking details

*Attention Anthony ,*

*Thank you for expressing your feelings to me.*

*I am not disputing your assertion. Obviously there are many bad guy out
there like i said today without human conscience who can just do anything
just to get quick money that never last and cannot solve their problem.*

*Look i am a devout Christian and my relationship with God matters a lot
because god is watching every of our activities good or bad.*

*Whatever happens, the ball is on your court to decide on what to do and I
am not blaming you because bad people exist that explains why you now think
and reason that everybody is the same.*

*But the world is not like that. In as much as i agreed that there is a
scam and the bad ones cashed on the trust reposed on them by their
unsuspecting victims to rip- them off their hard earned income.*

*At any rate, i want you to understand that good people with the fear of
god still exist.*

*I am not saying all this to convince you because if you don't trust and
repose your confidence in me, it will be hard for any person to change your
mind except you change your stand by yourself probably to give me a trial
and i will prove to you that truly good people still abound on earth.*

*I feel bad seeing people doing all kind of silly things just to fleece
innocent people their hard earn income.*

*Please this is not the same thing with what you may be thinking on the
contrary as this is real and legit. Therefore you have absolutely nothing
to fear or worry about as far as this transaction is concern.*

*I have told you to repose your confidence in me and give me your trust and
see if I will fail you.*

*I have told you that i want to prove a point to you and you will later
testified to people that truly good people still exist even in the midst of
gullible ones.*

*Everything is in your hand but i have told you the sober truth and nothing
but the truth.*

*But will want you to know that as far as I am concern, nobody is feeding
on your money. And I am not interested in it. if not for the purpose of
dispatching your ATM Card, I shouldn't have in the first place ask you a
cent.*

*So I am making it succinctly clear that I am not after your money*

*My duty is to make sure that the FUNDS gets to you once you sent the fee
and that is all.*

*You are becoming too personal as if to say you are picking on me. What
have I done wrong to you? I don't like the way you are putting it on me,
you are becoming too personal to my liking.*

*I don’t want you to see it as if i am forcing you against your wish. i
have told you nothing but the truth about this transaction, if there is
anything you are thinking on the contrary, I am not a party to it. I
believe in honest living, I can account for any cent I earn today. I hate
cheating and dis-honest people.*

*That I am working in the finance house does not mean that I should soil my
hands in corruption.*

*I have a good family background, my father is a priest and he raised his
children in a Christian way. When I mean Christian, I mean those with the
fear of god and worship him in truth and spirit.*

*Why must I cheat you? Does that solve my problems? Look this world does
not end on the planet earth, after death come judgment.*

*Therefore, my relationship with God matters.*

*Thank you and god bless you in every of your human endeavor.*
