DEAR CUSTOMER,

AFTER WE RECEIVED YOUR INFORMATION, WE INSTANTLY TRANSFER THE FIRST PAYMENT OF $5,000 IN YOUR NAME. AS I WAS TRYING TO EMAIL YOU THE INFORMATION YOU WILL USE TO PICK UP THE MONEY IN YOUR COUNTRY, I JUST RECEIVED A CALL FROM THAT WESTERN UNION HEAD OFFICE IN LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM. THEY BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION THAT THE $5000 WE TRANSFERRED AND THE REMAINING OF $845,000.00 HAS BEEN ON HOLD THROUGH OUR NETWORK.

I ASKED THEM WHY AND THEY SAID THAT THE HOME LAND SECURITY COMPANY HERE LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE TRANSFERRING SUCH AMOUNT OF MONEY WITHOUT THE HOME LAND SECURITY CLEARANCE. SO, AFTER I CUT THE CONVERSATION WITH THE LONDON HEAD OFFICE, I CALLED THE HOME LAND SECURITY COMPANY HERE TO KNOW HOW THE CLEARANCE COULD BE OBTAINED FROM THEM AND THE COST OF OBTAINING IT. THEY SAID THAT IT WILL COST $108 TO OBTAIN THE CERTIFICATE AND IT WILL TAKE ONLY 1 – 2 HOURS FOR THE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE TO BE READY.

I CALLED THE HEAD OFFICE BACK AND ASK THEM IF THERE IS ANY OTHER THING TO DO AFTER THE CLEARANCE IS OBTAIN AND THEY ASSURED ME THAT ONCE THE CLEARANCE CERTIFICATE IS FORWARDED TO THEM, THEY WILL INSTANTLY RELEASE THE FUNDS WITHOUT ANY DELAY.

FOR SELF-CONFIRMATION, THE INFORMATION OF THE PAYMENT WE MADE TODAY IS ENCLOSED.

HOWEVER, YOU ARE ADVISED TO GO AHEAD AND SEND THE HOME LAND SECURITY CLEARANCE FEE OF $108 VIA WESTERN UNION OR MONEY GRAM SO THAT WE WILL ASSIST YOU AND OBTAIN THE CERTIFICATE FROM THE CONCERNED OFFICE. HERE IS THE INFORMATION YOU WILL USE TO SEND THE MONEY.
