This is the Federal Bureau Of Investigation (FBI) using this medium to inform you that there is no more time left to waste because you have been given Since jan till this moment and you have failed to secure the required Wire Transfer Documents from Office of the Presidency as stated earlier and you must adhere to this directives to avoid you blaming yourself at last when we must have arrested and jailed you and all your properties confiscated.
You failed to comply with our directives to secure the Wire Transfer Document from Office of the Presidency and that was the reason why we didn’t hear from you on the 3rd of October as promised and our Executive Director Mr. James B. Comey, Jr has already been notified about this situation report and to get the process completed you have to secure the Wire Transfer Documents from Office of the Presidency immediately with the help of Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH or the warrant of arrest which has been signed against you will be carried out in the next 72hours as strictly signed by the FBI Executive Director Mr. James B. Comey, Jr.
As a good Christian and a honest man, I have decided to see how I could be of help to you because I would not be happy to see you end up in jail and all your properties confiscated, I called Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH of the Office of the Presidency who will help you secure the Wire Transfer Documents and he stated that he will assist you as soon as you send to him the sum of US$75 Only and I believe this process is cheaper for you.
You need to do everything possible within today and tomorrow to send the US$75 to Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH who will help you secure the Wire Transfer Documents in your name because our Executive Director Mr. James B. Comey, Jr has called to inform me that the warrant of arrest has been signed against you and once it has been approved, then the arrest will be carried out and from our investigations we learnt that you were the person that forwarded your identity to one impostor/fraudsters in Benin Republic when he had a deal with you over a transfer of some illegal funds into your Bank Account which is valued at the sum of US$4,500,000.00.
I pleaded with the FBI Executive Director Mr. James B. Comey, Jr on your behalf so that this agency could give you 72 hours so that you can secure the Wire Transfer Documents with the help of Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH as soon as you send the sum of US$75 to him as this is the only way that I can be able to help you at this moment or you would have to face the law and its consequences once it has befall you.
Make sure that you don’t hesitate in making the payment of US$75 to the name stated above so that Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH will help you secure the Wire Transfer Documents in your name and then after all this process has been carried out we would have to proceed to the paying Bank for the transfer of your compensation funds which is valued at the sum of US$4,500,000.00 which was suppose to have been transferred to you all this while.
Note: all the crime agencies have been contacted on this regards and we shall trace and arrest you if you disregard this instructions. You have been given 72 hours to make the payment so that Mr.GABRIEL EMEKAH will help you secure the Wire Transfer Documents and if you fail, you will be arrested and tried in the court for Terrorism, Money Laundering and Drug Trafficking Charges, so be warned not to try any thing funny because you are been watched.
