I wish to update you on the release of your funds.

Upon receipt of the payment from you yesterday (£1,000), through Mr. John
Priddy, we had completed the total payment of your Tax (£5,850) to the
Inland Revenue Services. Please find attached a copy of the official receipt
of payment from the tax office.

In accordance with the usual protocol, the United Kingdom Justice Ministry
is to issue a ratification of fund clearance, before your funds can be
released. However the Justice Ministry has informed that it is now mandatory
that there must be evidence of your International Guarantee Certification
before your funds can be released.
Your funds have been on hold for longer than 8 working days. Also, only just
last week, the European Union Finance Ministers all agreed to henceforth
include all non-European residents under the Guarantee Clearance statutes,
as agreed already by all world central banks. Thus any funds domiciled in
offshore establishments as our bank, must require an international guarantee
by the beneficiary/customer.

We know you do not have this guarantee. As such I am personally making
arrangements at this time with CitiGroup in New York, USA, were I have
contacts, to help secure this guarantee. I shall require your co-operation
in ensuring this guarantee is secured within the next 3 working days.
Normally it is the customer’s duty to secure such a guarantee. But with the
cordial relationship between myself and you, as well as knowing
the extreme difficulty and requirements in securing such an international
guarantee within such a short period, I am personally helping to do this.

As soon as I hear back from New York today, I shall inform you of the
requirements. Kindly be on standby, so we can complete this matter urgently.

Thank you and my warmest regards.





Thank you for your business.

I have received the news from CitiGroup in New York, They have confirmed
that they can secure this certification within 2 days. Please find attached
their MEMO just received.

With regards the requirements, I already have the documentations and your
identity ready to be forwarded to them.

We shall need to all put heads together to have the guarantee charge paid.
This is NOT impossible. I am ready to make my commitments for this. So
please lets discuss this and have it done immediately.

I await your response.

Good morning.

First of all, please give my warmest greetings to your family, and I hope they
are doing very well today? My family is fine, and my wife and I are this week
expecting the birth of our third baby. Please join us as we pray and give
thanksgiving in expectation of the new baby!

Just as you say to me, I am fully in agreement with you that FAMILY IS MOST
IMPORTANT! Every other thing is not important.
I love my family and want to be there for them always, especially
this week of my new baby. But I am becoming afraid that this your transaction
will cause a very big problem for me, because I can easily loose my job and go
to prison. If I loose my job and go to prison, who will care for my family?? I
ask you this.

This reason why I say the above is because, I am a bank officer, and with my
job, I am supposed to keep the law of my bank always. But so far, I have been
involved in helping you. But you do not seem to want to co-operate.

Let me clearly explain:
Your funds are frozen by the Justice Ministry. This means that niether you nor
our bank, nor me can withdraw or make transfer from your account, nor funds. For
your funds to be released, you must get this Certificate of Guarantee fom the
CitiBank. The requirements is clearly stated. We CANNOT get the mony from your
account here with us, as you have requested. If we do that, then I will be in
trouble!

Also, if we do not complete your transaction and release of your funds, I will
also be in trouble, because the Justice Ministry and Government here will
investigate. If they investigate, they wil certainly find out my role in helping
you. That will aso put me in trouble.

So you can see my problem. We MUST complete your transaction, so
that I can be at peace and no fear for my family. The only way to complete this
transaction is to get this certificate.

I spoke to your partner today, and explained the situation to
him. He is wiling to now assist in meeting the requirements for this Guarantee.
Also I am doing my little best, and I beleive Mr. Priddy will do his best as
well. Together, we can all raise this £27,525 (about USD $42,000) that is
required. When we do this, then we have the Guarantee, then the Justice Ministry
will release all your money.

After you get ALL your money, you can re-pay me and Mr. Priddy a you wish. As
your banker, there is NO WAY that I can touch the money in your account. You
should know that. It is illegal for me to do so, even if you give the
permission. This is NOT allowed by our bank. Your money can ONLY be transferred
by YOU only. No one else! Please take note.

The Government wants to release ALL your money AT ONCE. Not in instalments.
Please understand this.

I beg of you, if you truly value family as you always say, then do
not put me in trouble. PLEASE COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION AND RECEVE ALL YOUR
MONEY IMMEDIATELY. This way I will be free from all trouble. Failure to do this,
simply means that you have brought the worst trouble of my life on my head, and
my family will SUFFER!

I wait your urgent reply soon.

Thank you for your business.
