RE: YOUR COMPENSATION PAYMENT OF USD1,000,000.00 AS SCAM VICTIM.

Based on the present anti-fraud/scam war, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) Anti-fraud teams in collaboration with the African Union (AU) are making sure that financial fraud is wiped out in the Africa continents completely. The Internet Service Providers have noticed an increased email traffic originating from Africa to other continents, hence the action of the security operatives.

In this regard, three hundred and six (306) bank and government officials have been arrested in so many African and European countries so far and arrest is still going on. We have recovered the total sum of US$3.2 Billion from them in both cash and assets confirmed to have come from their victims and foreign beneficiaries' of both contract funds, inheritance funds and lottery winnings. Thousands of email addresses of victims (which include yours) have also been recovered from their address books. It is at this juncture that we are contacting you because you are now listed as one of the beneficiaries of the IMF/AU compensation payment of 2011 batch "A".

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) with the African Union (AU) is making refunds of US$1,000,000.00 each to all foreigners whom his/her email address is listed on the recovered address book of these arrested fraudulent officials. This refund is of two types:- (a) Those who are beneficiaries of either contract, inheritance or lottery funds. (b) Those who are simply found to be scam victims, by receiving fraudulent and scam email letters from these officials, will receive a flat rate compensation of US$1,000,000.00 each.

Your compensation payment will be release to you through our West African Regional Office on your contact to them as instruction for the release of your compensation payment has already been passed to them and the issuing bank. You have to direct your communication to our West African Regional Office ONLY on the below information to claim your compensation payment:-
