ATTN:--BENEFICIARY,
I am Dr Mrs. Dora Olumide Oyo, the Finance Director on Debt Reconciliation
Committee of the office of the President. I have been directed by His
Excellency, the president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (Umaru Musa
Yar'Adua) to inform you that this Government understands your plight, the
huge amount of money you have spent and all the disappointment you have
suffered in the past to get your contract / inheritance fund paid to you.
Due to what we describe as selective payment and incessant demand of
excessive fees by some unscrupulous and corrupt erstwhile officials in
charge of the foreign contract payment in the past
This morning I received a Presidential released order Stamped and Signed by
the president to pay your PART-PAYMENT of USD 4.2 MILLION PLUS ACCRUED
INTEREST OF USD 3.5 MILLION BY MEANS OF AN ATM GLOBAL DEBIT CARD
To speedy up this arrangement, the government has nominated EQUITORIAL TRUST
BANK to set-up an automated transit account and to issue an ATM GLOBAL
DEBIT CARD valued USD 7.7 million in your name. This will enable you to have
control over your fund. PLEASE NOTE, THE MAXIMUM AMOUNT YOU CAN WITHDRAW
WITH YOUR ATM CARD PER DAY IS $19,500.00 (Nineteen Thousand Five Hundred
United States of American Dollars)
You are therefore advised to immediately contact the Director, ATM

DEBIT CARD valued USD 7.7 million.
The Federal Government of Nigeria shall not be held responsible for any
diversionary tendencies that may occur in your payment if you fail to adhere
strictly to this directive. You are therefore advised to immediately
contact the Director, ATM department of the bank Mr. Rick Mason, via E-mail:
