Dear Mr. Paul,

I got your email. I want to informed you that I just received a call from IMF office this morning. They where asking me what is going on that the delay is getting too much.

They also wanted to cancel your fund but I plead with them and beg them to give us a second chance, then they agreed up with me and give us from now till Monday to raise the $155.

So I will advice you to try and send the $155 so that they can obtain the fund clearance certificate on your behalf to enable you start receiving your fund.

Go to money gram now and send the needed fee of $155 with below information.

Receiver Name============Samson Nnaji
Country==================BENIN REPUBLIC
City================== COTONOU
City Address==============No 13 Adogrita Road,Cotonue

I have explain this several time to you. I told you that this fund is a compensation from federal ministry of finance but it was deposited into our money gram department here and I was instructed to transfer it to you.

You will be receiving $5,000 everyday until you total compensation of $10.5 million united state dollars is complete transferred to you.

We are about to start transferring your fund to you but IMF persist that we can not do any transfer without the fund clearance certificate.

I ask them the value of this certificate and they made it very clear to me that this certificate is to show that you are the real beneficiary of this fund and also to make the change of receiver to your name.

I went to the office that suppose to issue the document but they requested for some of $155 before they will be able to issue the documents.

So I will like you to try and send the $155 so that the needed document will be obtain on your behalf to enable you start receiving your fund.

Send the $155 via money gram and get back to me with the payment details okay.

I look forward to hear from you urgent
