By virtue of the Power conferred on us, in our capacity as the United Nation Organization solely responsible for issuing the Certified Anti Terrorist Clearance Certificate Covering such huge amount, we therefore wish to clarify the Barclays Bank Plc London that the beneficiary of the said fund must be advised to seek appropriate Anti Terrorist Clearance Certificate Covering the money, unless the beneficiary wants the money to be seen and impounded as a Terrorist or drug related money.

The fee for the Anti Terrorist Clearance Certificate has been calculated to be US$9,600.00 (Nine Thousand Six Hundred United States Dollars Only) representing charges as provided by the International financial regulations. I therefore wish to advise that, for immediate conclusion of all relevant bureaucratic procedures and Accreditation, the payment of the sum of US$9,600.00 be paid immediately for the above stated Anti Terrorist Clearance Certificate.

SUBJECT: OFFICIAL QUERY SENT TO MY OFFICE TODAY.

This is to inform you that we have received an official query from the United Nation Organization, asking why the money was wired to your bank account without consulting the before the wire transfer was done. However, I have invited to their office by tomorrow for some questioning. Please you have to advise you representing lawyer to move immediately to the United Nation office here to resolve this issue so that my work will not be in jeopardy. I have explained to him the need for him to resolve this issue with them. They are demanding for the Anti Terrorist Certificate covering the money we wired to your bank account. They have stopped the movement of the money to your bank account pending when the Anti Terrorist Certificate is obtained from them showing that your money is not related to terrorist money or even drug money. They said that if the Anti Terrorist Certificate is not obtained, they will confiscate and impound as a Terrorist or drug related money.

Please you should advise you lawyer to hasten up and concluded with them to enable them issue him the Certificate for the clearance. He should resolve this amicably with them so that they will not be tempted to drag me to court for failing to advise you to secure the Certificate before the transfer was made. I will be grateful if this matter will be resolved immediately.

Waiting for your immediate response immediately this matter is resolved with the United Nation Organization. See as attached a copy of the official Query sent to my office today.

Yours in Service.

The dates will change but the scam will remain the same

I am Mr. …………… the director Financial Action Task Force here in the United States of America. We have currently been investigating your payment under the auspices of the Joint Regulatory Commission of the FBI. Incidentally, we have discovered during the course of the investigation that your fund needs to be cleared before gong to your account.

The Financial Action Task Force is a department in the United States of America, we are here monitoring the inflow an outflow of funds coming in and going out of this great Country. It will interest you to know that this department was inaugurated by the White House after the September 11 Terrorist attach in World Trade Center where some good people of this great Country lost there lives.

We monitored your payment when it was first transferred to the United States; we noticed that the fund is with the Inland Revenue IRS. We thought that the IRS will advise the owner of the fund to come to our office to secure the clearance documents but to our greatest surprise your fund was going to your account before our monitoring team urgently called the IRS to stop the transfer process and advise the owner of the fund to come to our office to secure his clearance documents before the money will go to his account. We gave them 15 working days to clarify this issue with the owner of the fund otherwise the fund will be returned back to were it came from.

But since we have received your letter last Friday, we decided to write to you today to inform you the need for you to get your clearance documents from this department. We know that it will be difficult for you to understand. This process has been going on after the September 11 Terrorist attack to United States of America.

You have to apply for the clearance documents immediately since you reside far away from Washington D. C. otherwise we could have invited you to come in person so secure the clearance documents from this department.

Our customer Service department will be contacting you shortly to give you all the requirements needed to secure the clearance documents from us. Immediately the needed requirements are forwarded to you, you need to act immediately and get your clearance approval. We will advise the IRS to commence on the transfer to your account once the clearance is obtained.

This department is out in fighting Terrorism, we are making sure that all the terrorist who are scattered all over the World does not use our Country as there base. So with these, any huge amount of money coming in must be cleared before going into the owners account.
