Attention Beneficiary:

This is to bring to your notice that because of the impossibility of your
fund transfer through OUR WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER network,we have
credited your total $4.500,000.00USD legitimate Funds into an ATM VISA
CARD and I have paid the re-activation fee and the delivery of the ATM
Card To you,I paid it because the ATM Card worth of $4.500, 000.00 which I
have registered for deliver,has less than Seven days to expire in the
custody of the UBA ATM CARD Department and when it expires,the money will
go into Federal Government treasury account..

With that I decided to help you pay off the money so that the ATM Card
will not expire, because I trust that when you receive your ATM Card
definitely you must pay me back my money and even compensate me for
helping you.

Now I want you to contact United Bank For Africa ATM VISA CARD Department
at (atmcard13@ymail.com)with your physical address you desire the
delivery to be made so that they can Deliver your ATM Card to your
designated
address without any delay.Like I stated earlier,the delivery charges has
been paid by me but I did not pay their official keeping fees since they
refused,they refused and the reason is that they do not know when you are
going to contact them and the demur rage might have increased,They told me
that their keeping fees is $85 per day only,and I deposited it.

Below is the Contact Information of the ATM MASTER CARD Customer Service
Director Mr JOHN OBINNA,ATM MASTER CARD Email Address online:
(atmcard13@ymail.com) Contact them today to avoid increase of their
keeping fees and let me know once you receive your ATM card.

Yours Sincerely,
Mr MARK JAMES
