officials of the ministry regarding your case and they made us to
understand that your file has been held in abase depending on when you
personally come for the claim.
They also told us that the only problem they are facing right now is
that
some unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam
innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the
DIRECTOR and the UPS COURIER COMPANY. I will use this opportunity to
WARN you against some hoodlums who are impersonating my office and other
government agencies for the purpose of extorting money from innocent
CITIZENS like you. Be very vigilant and always forward to my office,
any messages sent to you before replying to them so that we can confirm
if its genuine or not. We are poised to taking this precaution so as
make sure you don't fall victim to those miscreants who are
claiming to be who they are not.
We were also made to understand that a Woman with name (Mrs. CHERYL

all the necessary documentations evidencing your claim purported to have
been signed personally by you prior to the release of your contract fund

Email:
www.ups@hotmail.comNOTE:
In your best interest, any message that doesn't come from the above
official email address and phone numbers should not be replied to and
should be disregarded accordingly for security reasons. The reason is
because we received a fax today from the UPS COURIER COMPANY, stating
that they have recently been informed through their underground
monitoring unit that some hoodlums are contacting you claiming to be
from the central bank of Nigeria,just to collect money from you for no
just course. Although, We have started our investigation on how to get
this hoodlums and as well bring them to book and note that any
information you send to us, will go along way in helping us track this
fraudsters down. To this effect, we will like you to forward to us any
of their contact information so as to enable us forward copy to all the
relevant security agencies.
I want you to understand that you will be responsible for the shipping
fee which will cost $350 once payment of $350 is
confirmed your bankdraft will be shipped that same day to you with out
any further delay. And remember to let me know when you receive the
bankdraft.
Ensure you follow all their procedure as may be required by them as that
will further help hasten up the whole process as regard to the urgent
release of your fund to you as instructed. Also have in mind that the
Central Bank of Nigeria equally have their own protocol of operation as
stipulated on their banking terms, so delay could be very dangerous.Once
again, we will advise that you contact them with the above email address
and make sure you forward to them all the necessary informations which
they may require from you prior to the release of your fund to you
accordingly. Once again, we will advise that you contact the UPS COURIER
COMPANY only with the above information as soon as you can because they
have already started sorting our contract payments to serious clients
and your case should not be exempted. This is all I can tell you for now
until you have contacted them as directed.

notification, feel free to get back to us so that we can brief you more
as we are here to guide you during and after this project has been
completely perfected and you have received your contract fund as stated.
