Subject: RECEIVED UPDATE FROM THE BANK
We received a copy of the stop order on your transfer from the bank. However I want to let you know that
you have to make available the I.M.F needed requirements and follow the simple instruction for your fund
to be released to your bank account immediately. The transfer was stopped as a result of the current new
regulations of I.M.F on international remittance, because of the numerous terrorist activities and money
laundry happening around the world recently.
Below are the requirements for the issuing of the clearance certificate by I.M.F.
1: You are to write an application letter (it must be typed and signed) addressed to the Director of
International Monetary Unit IMF. You will state your name and nationality and that you have never being
involved in any terrorist activity, that the fund is the money you won from the Lutrija Lottery Office Uk
London, and you intend to use it wisely.
2: Scan a copy of your Identity ,it must be government issued ID(international passport or drivers license
or National Identity card) We will endorse and send the letter with a copy of your winners certificate to the
I..M.F.
Please note that you are to write the letter immediately today, scan and send it to enable us apply for the
clearance certificate urgently. We have to finalize within 2 working days. It’s important that you comply with
the IMF requirements, to enable us apply immediately and the fund will be released for onward payment to
your bank account.
At this point the recipient of the emails ceased communicating with the scammer but is out of pocket $780.00USD.
