The International Monetary Fund Microsoft Internet Merit contacted us for your compensation a couple of hours ago due to your allocated security code. They said that they choose to send it to an email address instead of a name. We are unable to complete a transfer directed at an email address, so we require some more information in order to verify it with what we have on file and to make sure we are not paying the wrong beneficiary. FULL NAME: FULL CONTACT ADDRESS: MOBILE PHONE NUMBER: OCCUPATION: MARITAL STATUS: AGE: In order to resolve this problem, please email via Western Union Solicitors Fund Verification Department: immediately. As soon as this information is received by you, and you have complied with the requirements of payment of the western union charges, payment will be made to your nominated bank account or at the counter directly from The Western Union Transferring Bank. When emailing, please use reference number WU250-147 for our mutual convenience. THE MANAGEMENT OF WESTERN UNION MONEY TRANSFER, OFFICE NIGERIA BRANCH. Sincerely, Rev Moses Williams.
