We have over 7,500 of them in our jails around Africa and UK and we are still looking for these internet fraudsters and we are aware that a lot of foreigners have been deceived and huge amount of money has also been lost to this fraudsters after promising you percentages in their letters for you to help them move funds and they will end up demanding money from you and in return you will get nothing.
The Leaders of the African Crime fighters has come together to inform the world what is going on now and we have recovered over $422 Million Dollars (Four Hundred and Twenty two Million Dollars) from the people we have apprehended. The reason we are writing you this letter is because your name was given to us by one of the fraudsters in our detention room after serious investigation and our aim is to refund all lost fund to its legitimate owner.
The Government has approved a total of Twenty five Thousand United states Dollars (US$25,000.00) only as the compensation of the lost that you incurred as this was a smaller rate as some suffered more while others suffered less to and the idea is to restore you back to the position that you would have been if not that you are defrauded.
In addition to this, your payment of Twenty five Thousand United states Dollars (US$25,000.00) only will be paid to you in the next few days as the International confirmable Draft / ATM CARD has been issued in your favor?
