FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON 98101 USA
ATTENTION: BENEFICIARY
This e-mail has been issued to you in order to Officially notify you that our International Monitoring System discovered that you are presently having a transaction with an impostor from another country. The scam artist offered you a lot of money claiming to be an inheritance payment, next of kin and even a lottery winning.
Please take note that these are ALL lies and false claims, these impostors claim to be either: Charles Soludo, Patrick Aziza, Frank Nweke, Benson Edward, Paul Smith. They usually claim to be attached to banks or even attached to the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Take note that they are all liars and the transactions were NEVER authorized to go through them.
Presently, the Federal Bureau of Investigation has no jurisdiction in foreign countries. However, it came to our notice that you LEGALLY have the sum of $5,500,000.00 USD (Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) held at a bank over here in Washington, USA.
According to our completed investigation, a Lottery Company in Nigeria ran an Online Lottery Competition in which they created a program known as “Online Balloting System”. The program was designed to select different alphabets automatically and join them together and then this same program selects an Internet Provider / E-mail Provider and then if the alphabets put together form an e-mail address, the owner of the e-mail address will automatically win the sum of $5,500,000.00 USD.
The Lottery Company in Nigeria refused to contact you in regards to the fact that your e-mail address LEGALLY won the competition as it was advertised on their local Nigerian websites, radio stations and even TV stations. Our Monitoring System picked up the signal and then decided to trace/investigate towards this matter. We found this out and decided to take Legal Actions against them, they were therefore forced to transfer the funds into a dormant account held with a bank “First Trust Bank”.
Presently, the funds have been deposited at First Trust Bank in USA and the funds are verifiable as you can access the account via the Telephone Banking system. However, you are presently unable to Transfer Funds / Withdraw funds as you will require a PIN Code in order to do so. The pin code required to transfer your funds has been held by the Federal Ministry of Finance in Nigeria, they require that you procure an International Money Transfer Clearance Bond before it will be released to you. The Federal Ministry of Finance in Nigeria requires that the sum of $800 US Dollars will be required before the IMT Clearance Bond with your Transfer PIN Code can be released as it has NOT been paid for. The required fee of $800 is MANDATORY and compulsory and should be sent to their agent via ONLY Western Union Money Transfer.
Once the IMT Clearance Bond has been procured, it will be mailed/shipped to your home address for privacy reasons it will NOT be sent via e-mail. You are therefore required to take the following steps:
(1) Verify / Confirm your account balance at First Trust Bank via Telephone Banking. Kindly follow the instructions below:
Bank Name: First Trust Bank
Telephone Banking Number: +1 (206) 438-9355

Your account number is: 45023899 then you will be asked again to press (1) to confirm, afterwards you will be asked to enter your Account pin which is: 4926 then wait, and you will be ask to press (1) to confirm. After pressing 1 to confirm the PIN, wait to listen to your account balance. You will listen to your account balance and also hear the Transfer feature, do NOT attempt to transfer funds as you will be required to enter a Transfer PIN number which you do NOT have.
