Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled "Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.

If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

Dear Sir,

RE-TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER OF YOUR PAYMENT

Following an irrevocable approval order of the Finance Minister, for
an immediate release of your contract/inheritance fund into your
nominated bank account; we hereby bring to your notice that we have as
at today programmed your payment for onward transfer into your bank
account.

Therefore, for the avoidance of interruption of the transfer of this
fund into your bank account, we have concluded every arrangement with
all concerned agencies/organizations to officially register you and
also issue you with the following certificates: Anti-terrorist
certificate (B) Money Laundering Certificate and (C) Drug Law
Certificate without any charge(s). The issuance of these certificates
to you will clear you from the above mentioned offences, guarantee the
smooth transfer of this fund into your bank account without query or
suspicion and also give you the full right to claim this fund from
your local bank

However, the only thing that is required of you as the beneficiary of
this fund and agreed by all the financial institutions all over the
world is to make payment for the issuance of the International Release
Sort Code (IRSC) that will open up the international gate-way for the
direct transfer of your fund into your nominated bank account by wire
transfer (KTT).

Be informed that the stipulated amount required for this Code is
US$220 Dollars only (Two Hundred and Twenty Dollars). Therefore, you
are required to make this payment with the name of our account
officer, Dike Victor via Western Union Money Transfer or Money Gram.
This is because of the limited time frame programmed for this payment
exercise. In addition to this, we advise that you fill/complete the
attached forms and return back to us within 24 hours to enable us
submit them to the agencies concerned for your official registration
and issuance of the above certificates. And finally, we want to state
clearly here to you, that you are not under any compulsion to receive
your fund, therefore do not bother replying this message if you are
not ready/willing to send the required fee.

Thanking you for your understanding and cooperation.

Regards,

Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Gabriel Bankole
Head of Foreign Operation
Union Bank of Nigeria Plc.
