Company outside the United States of America. During our investigation we
discovered that your e-mail won the money from an Online Balloting System and
we have authorized this winning to be paid to you via a Certified Cashier's
Check.
Normally, it will take up to 10 business days for an International
Check to be cashed by your local bank. We have successfully notified this
company on your behalf that funds are to be drawn from a registered bank
within the United States Of America so as to enable you cash the check
instantly without any delay, henceforth the stated amount of $800,000.00 USD
has been deposited with Bank Of America.
We have completed this investigation and you are hereby approved to
receive the winning prize as we have verified the entire transaction to be
Safe and 100% risk free, due to the fact that the funds have been deposited at

Check to your home address and this fee includes Insurance )
The total amount for everything is $400.00 (Two Hundred-US Dollars).
We have tried our possible best to indicate that this $400.00 should be
deducted from your winning prize but we found out that the funds have already
been deposited at Bank Of America and cannot be accessed by anyone apart from
you the winner, therefore you will be required to pay the required fee's to
the Agent in-charge of this transaction via Western Union Money Transfer Or Money Gram.
