Assuming these crooks really sent 1.5 million US Dollars with UPS, this is what you should know.

All packages being sent through a worldwide courier service do get x-rayed. That means, money will be recognised by the specialists running the machines. If you are the recipient of such a shipment, you will be arrested for money laundering.

As the crooks will never send you any money, this will, of course, not happen. Even so, if you decide to contact these people, you will lose money.

My Dear Friend,

How are you today?

It’s been long I heard from you. Well, I just want to use this medium to thank you very much for your earlier assistance to help me in receiving the funds, without any positive outcome.

I am obliged to inform you that I have succeeded in receiving the funds with the help of a new partner from Poland. Everything was perfectly done because we strike a deal with one of the Lady accountant who works with the Remittance Department of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and she rendered a tremendous help to us. My new partner initiated this idea and everything worked out successfully.

In appreciation of your earlier assistance to me in receiving the Funds, I have decided to compensate you with the sum of $1.200.000,000 in a Cashier’s cheque (one million two Hundred Thousand United States Dollars). This is from my own share. I did this simply to show you that it is good to do good things to the right people always.

Presently, I am in Poland for investment project with my own share under the advice of my partner. Meanwhile, I didn’t forget your past efforts and attempts to assist me in transferring those funds despite that it failed us somehow. I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have received your share or not.

Now contact my secrtary OGOCHUKWU BLESS on my former telephone line and do send him your contact address where you want the cheque to be sent to you. The phone numbers, which you will reach my secretary OGOCHUKWU BLESS once again, is His e-mail address: ( ogochukwu_bless1@yahoo.fr )

Please do let me know immediately you receive it so that we can share the joy together after all the suffering at that time. In the moment, I’m very busy here in Poland because of the investment projects, which the new partner and I are having at hand. So feel free to get in touch with Mr OGOCHUKWU BLESS to send the cheque to you without any delay.

They certainly have extended their imagination on this one. The “Fondazione” does not run a lottery. It is, as the name suggests, a foundation.

ECOWAS is short for Economic Community Of West African States. It’s mission is, quote: is to promote economic integration in “all fields of economic activity, particularly industry, transport, telecommunications, energy, agriculture, natural resources, commerce, monetary and financial questions, social and cultural matters.

I would say their priorities are set in other directions. Somewhat opposed to what is claimed in this e-mail.
