Attn: Beneficiary,
This is to officially inform you that it has come to our notice and we have
thoroughly completed an Investigation with the help of our Intelligence
Monitoring Network System that you legally won the sum of $800,000.00 USD from
a
Lottery 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 Bank Of
America
you will be required to settle the following bills directly to the Lottery
Agent
in-charge of this transaction whom is located in Lagos, Nigeria. According to
our discoveries, you were required to pay for the following -

payment into a Certified Cashier's Check )
(3) Shipping Fee's ( This is the charge for shipping the Cashier's
Check to your home address and this fee includes Insurance )
The total amount for everything is $600.00 (Six Hundred-US Dollars). We have
tried our possible best to indicate that this $600.00 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.
In order to proceed with this transaction, you will be required to contact the
