Dear Respectful Someone,

How are you today? I have waited for you since to come down here and pick your draft cheque of 1.200, 000.00 Euros which my Boss kept and mention as your compensation gift of appreciation for your past kind assistance to him in his transaction before he traveled to Germany. Yesterday, I went to the bank to confirm if the Cheque has expired or getting near to expire and Mr. Ahmed Zuma the Director of B.O.A Bank of Africa told me that before the cheque will get to your hand that it will expire. So I told him to cash the 1.200, 000.00 Euros to cash payment to avoid losing these funds under expiration as I will be out of the country for a 3 months course and I will not come back till end of February 2010.

I have arranged your cheque payment through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER for making it easier for you to receive your fund without any further delay. What you have to do now is to contact the WESTERN UNION OFFICE as soon as possible to know when they will make the payment to you immediately. For you information, the amount you will be receiving per day is 5000 Euros till your entire sum of 1.200, 000.00 Euros get to you.

Please write a letter of application with your noted information to WESTERN UNION OFFICE address below:

1. Your Full Name................
2. Your Address..................
3. Your Tel Number...............
4. Occupation and Age............
5. Country.......................
6. A Copy of your ID.............

Note, Western Union Office will verify your information before sending your Fund through western union as soon as you meet up with the directives of the transfer. Your are required to reconfirm your information properly to this below contact of Western Union Office Benin Republic.

CONTACTS: Dr. Egogi Memeze
Foreign Operation Manager,
Western Union Office;
Email:([email protected])

Let me repeat again, try to contact them as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay.

Yours Sincerely,
Miss. Joycee Martin

There are many indicators that mark this as a scam;

"Undisclosed recipients" -
meaning it was sent to many people


It is directed to, "Dear Respectful Someone,"
indicating they dont know your name


"draft cheque of 1.200, 000.00 Euros,"
nobody gives a stranger this kind of money just for having an email address


"arranged your cheque payment through WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER"
The most favoured method for scammers to receive funds from their victims, any business transaction that involves Western Union should be ignored


"[email protected]"
Any email that actually was from Western Union, would be from a Western Union email domain.
