Greetings!!!

I write to inform you that your contact was found among the list of foreigners that have been scammed by Fraudsters. It might interest you to know that we have signed an agreement with the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT during our first meeting this year with our PRESIDENT and the FBI to fight against corruption by returning all contract/inheritance funds that has been stolen, paying the people that had an unfinished transaction or International Fund Transfer that failed due to Government problems and also compensate scam victims.

Based on the above, a certified Bank Draft worth EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS has been issued in your name as compensation. I have deposited the Bank Draft with FEDEX COURIER SERVICE, West Africa. I traveled out of the country for a 3 Months Course and I will not be back until completion of my 3 months course. What you have to do now is to contact the FEDEX COURIER SERVICE immediately to know when they will deliver your package to you because of the expiry date of deposit.

For your information, I have paid for the delivery Charge of the Bank Draft. You have to contact the Agent of FEDEX COURIER SERVICE now for the delivery of your Bank Draft with the information below: I repeat again, try to contact him as soon as you receive this mail to avoid any further delay and remember to send them their Security Keeping fee of $255.00 for their immediate action.

Contact Agent: Davis Kayode
Email: daviskayode@gmail.com

Reconfirm the below information to the agent:
1. Full Names:
2. Residential Address:
3. Phone Number:

Request for the tracking number of the package to enable you track and know when it will get to your address. Contact the Agent immediately you receive this mail to avoid any further delay

Notify me as soon as you receive your Bank Draft.

Yours Faithfully,
Mrs. Joyce Okene.

I haven't seen this one, but supposedly the FBI is helping me recover $38 million from those evil scammers, all I have to do is pay $245. The director said so. They are really quite boring, wish they would come up with something more interesing.
