Dear Sir/Madam,

There is an issue with the WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER in the amount of $750,000.00 USD directed 
in cash credited to file WMT/902U118K07-10 at the owner of this email address.

The International Monetary Fund (IMF) contacted us for your COMPENSATION due to your allocated 
security code and choose to send it to an email address instead of a name for security. We are 
unable to complete a transfer directed at an email address, so we require some more information to 
verify it with what we have on file in order to complete this transfer and make sure we are not 
paying the wrong beneficiary.

 FULL CONTACT ADDRESS:

In order to resolve this problem, Immediately we receive the above information we shall forward 
your COMPENSATION funds $750,000.00 USD to Standard Chartered Bank for onward transfer as Western 
Union® do not handle transfer of such magnitude.

When emailing, please use reference number #250-147 for our mutual convenience.
