received your fund which is to the tune of $850,000.00 due to past corrupt Governmental Officials who almost held the fund to themselves for their selfish reason and some

individuals who have taken advantage of your fund all in an attempt to swindle your fund which has led to so many losses from your end and unnecessary delay in the receipt of your

fund.

The National Central Bureau of Interpol enhanced by the United Nations and Federal Bureau of Investigation have successfully passed a mandate to the current president of

Nigeria his Excellency President Good luck Jonathan to boost the exercise of clearing all foreign debts owed to you and other individuals and organizations who have been found not

to have receive their Contract Sum, Lottery/Gambling, Inheritance and the likes. Now how would you like to receive your payment? Because we have two method of payment which is

the card have to be renewed in 4 years time which is 2014. Also with the ATM card you will be able to transfer your funds to your local bank account. The ATM card comes with a

Check: To be deposited in your bank for it to be cleared within three working days. Your payment would be sent to you via any of your preferred option and would be mailed to you

via UPS. Because we have signed a contract with UPS which should expire by January 31 2011 you will only need to pay $150 instead of $420 saving you $270 So if you pay before

January 31 2011 you save $150 Take note that anyone asking you for some kind of money above the usual fee is definitely a fraudsters and you will have to stop communication with

every other person if you have been in contact with any. Also remember that all you will ever have to spend is $150.00 nothing more! Nothing less! And we guarantee the receipt of

your fund to be successfully delivered to you within the next 24hrs after the receipt of payment has been confirmed.

will ever need to pay is $150.

DO NOT SEND MONEY TO ANYONE UNTIL YOU READ THIS: The actual fees for shipping your ATM card is $480 but because UPS have temporarily discontinued the C.O.D which

gives you the chance to pay when package is delivered for international shipping We had to sign contract with them for bulk shipping which makes the fees reduce from the actual

You "believe it may be"?? You're joking, right??

This is one of the cutest ways those swindlers have of screwing the last nickel out of a victim.

Can't 419 scammers afford an English spell checker? Maybe a couple of dozen of 'em could share one.

If they were smart enough to be aware of that, they'd probably know how to make a living other than by sitting in an Internet cafe, scamming people.

Hell with the money they are making, if they were smart they would send two or three kids to study English (through Grad School) in the US, have them come back and teach their countrymen. They could do the same with the UK, and then have different sections of scammers.

It's not that they can't afford it, it's that poor grammar and spelling won't scare off a stupid potential victim, but it will scare off a smart potential victim. And if you're looking to scam people, stupid victims are the best.
