OFFICE OF REV.FR CALVIN ROGERS DIRECTOR,
SPECIAL DUTIES UNITED NATIONS, IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE INTERNATIONAL MONETARY FUND, WORLD BANK
SPECIAL DUTIES OFFICE DAKAR, SENEGAL. TEL: +221-4661249
Dear Sir/Madam.
I am Rev. Fr. Calvin Rogers, a senior staff with the World Bank Fact Finding & Special Duties Office. I and the Chief security officer (CSO) of charity organization have arranged with an officer in the computer section in person of Engineer Peter Cliff to bring out part payment with reference number (LM-05-371) amount of Ten Million United States Dollars (US$10 million).
A lot of people are interested in your payment and those people are merely doing paper works with you and that explains why you receive different kinds of untrue fax and phone messages from different people everyday. Also we found out that some of the officials of the parastatals have been extorting a lot of money from you with the pretext of helping you receive your money.
To effect transfer of the funds to your nominated account from the bank, you will send to us a promissory note for the donation of Five Hundred Thousand United States dollars (US$500,000.00) to charity organization I designate.
I therefore solicit your honest co-operation to enable us see this enterprise to finality.
May the peace of the Lord be with you and your entire family, Amen.
Awaits your, Swift Response.
Yours Faithfully
Rev Fr Calvin Rogers
Director, Special Duties. UNO/WBF
