THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER

I am delighted to contact you on a private note based on your claim to your contract Fund, which has been programmed for transfer into your designated bank account Through my department.

I am hereby apologizing to you for the delay in releasing this fund into your account, which was caused by me because of breach of agreement between me and your so-called partners in Nigeria who introduced you into the business.

Your Nigerian partners approached me to present you as a beneficiary of this fund as it was an OVER-INVOICING made when they are awarding contracts to foreign firms. So after the negotiation, we unanimously agreed that they (your partners) would give me the sum of US$200, 000.00 (CASH) on my acceptance to assist them to transfer the fund

into your account. When I accepted the offer, they forwarded all your banking particulars to me for onward transfer. As soon as I made some fruitful effort on the business and demanded my US$200, 000.00 as agreed.

Your partners deviated from the agreement and decided to go through the International Remittance Department at my back and make a change of your bank account in order to disappoint me and you also not knowing that the International remittance Department is also under my control.

Then I got the knowledge of their evil plans and proved their illicit efforts abortive. That is why for some time you have been pursuing this payment, spending unnecessary funds to some fraudulent individuals in Nigeria who claimed to be in charge to release your funds.

I want to re-emphasis to you that your fund is still with me and under my control. Now with my whole heart I want to enter into real business with you on a sincere agreement since your partners have disappointed me and the fund is still floating in your name waiting for a proper documentation and claim

1.On an agreement, I assure you that I am going to transfer this fund into your account.
2. You will assure me of keeping my dealings with you to an utmost secrecy because of my position.
3.You will promise to give me 20% of the total fund as soon as the fund gets into your account with a written promissory note signed by you.
4.I will assist you in making a proper document to make your claim genuine as a bonafide foreign contractor and the beneficiary to the said fund.
5 You and I as partners will put heads and join hands together to offset any bill or charges that may arise in the process of getting the documents and transferring the funds in your account .

I am aware that some fraudulent individuals have been impersonating my name and office to contact you and other contractors as reported by the Central Bank of Nigeria authorities. I advised you that henceforth, you should suspend any dealings from any group of person(s) either from the CBN or any other financial institution / parastatals in Nigeria or overseas that might be contacting you for this purpose and endeavor to keep this information confidential until we finalize this transaction.

Also on no account must you contact these your partners any more, this is for my own safety and for the security of the fund. Because they will not stop at any length to get this fund. And on no account must you let them know of my contact with you. Please reply to this message urgently and call me on my confidential Email: merrickgarlandusag@gmail.com as soon as you receive this message .

While waiting for your favorable response. God bless you.

NOTE / YOU CAN CALL OR TEXT ME MESSAGE ON THIS LINE 234-7030374950

Yours faithfully,

The email was sent from the email address "Merrick Garland <merrickgarlandusag@gmail.com>", with the subject "THE SINCERE TRUTH OF THE MATTER BEHIND YOUR PAYMENT".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
