Re: Approved Payment Valued US$10.5M in Your Favour.
This is to inform you that we came to Nigeria from United States, after series of complains from the FBI and other Security agencies from Asia, Europe, Oceania, South America and the Department of States, respectively, against the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government for the rate of scam activities going on in these two nations.
We have met with President Dr Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria who claimed that he has been trying his best to make sure you receive your fund in your Bank account. Right now, as directed by our secretary general Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, We are working in collaborations with the FBI detectives attached with the Nigerian Police Force here and has authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the approved fund of US$10, 5000, 000, 00 to you as directed by the Department of States and the UN in your favor without any further delay.
We have agreed to waive all your clearance fees/Charges and effect payment of your fund $10.5M into your account instantly as directed.

FROM MRS. LORRI KLEEN.
Good day to you,
I am Mrs. Lorri Kleen, I am a US citizen, 48 years old.
I am one of those that took part in the Compensation in Nigeria many years ago and they refused to pay me, I had paid over USD20,000 while in the US, trying to get my payment all to no avail. So I decided to travel to WASHINGTON D.C, And I was directed by the ( F B I) Director to contact Mr. Thomas Ife, who works for the Gold Link Insurance Company in Nigeria,
where all the unclaimed fund were been deposited for safe keeping.
I contacted him and he asked me to send my FULL NAME, SEX and DIRECT CONTACT NUMBER, for him to verify if my name is among the list of those that are yet to receive the compensation fund.
After he verified my name, he gave me their website to confirm my name my self online, i saw my name on the list and right now i have received my fund (USD 15 MILLION).
I will advise you contact Mr. Thomas Ife with your FULL NAME, SEX and DIRECT CONTACT NUMBER, so he can give you the link where you can cross check if your name is on the list of those that are yet to receive their fund.
You have to stop contacting those impostors that are telling you that they have fund for you they are all liars and swindlers.
You are to contact Mr. Thomas Ife of the Gold Link Insurance Company directly on this information below.
GOLD LINK INSURANCE COMPANY
Mr. Thomas Ife
Email : mr.thomasife@y7mail.com
Phone: +234 808 033 9418
The only money I paid after I met Mr. Thomas Ife was just $375 for their insurance fee, take note of that. Once again stop contacting those people, I will advise you to contact Mr. Thomas Ife so that he can help you to Deliver your fund instead of dealing with those liars that will
be turning you around asking for different kind of money to complete your transaction.
Thank You and Be Blessed.
