UN is too free or too stupid to take this long to solve this problem? Why dont UN take more time to do something with the children with weapon or something else more important?) This email is to all the people that have been scammed in any part of the world, the UNITED NATIONS have agreed to compensate them with the sum of US$850,000.00 each (EightHundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars).(Thinking that we are too stupid that we dont know how much is US$850,000.00 and translate it to English. Very nice of you UN people. I really appreciate it ^^) This includes every foreign contractors that may have not received their contract sum, and people that have had an unfinished transaction or international businesses that failed due to Government problems etc.( So, these are also included? Then UN sure is very busy..)

Your name and email was in the list submitted by our Monitoring Team of Economic and Financial Crime Commission observers and this is why we are contacting you, this have been agreed upon and have been signed. You are advised to contact The Group Chief Executive, Dr. Erastus Akingbola (intercontinentalbankplc), as he is our representative in Nigeria
(Why Nigeria? Why not other country? Eratus Akingbola? Why must be him?I wish i can contact to people like brad pitt or the others. haha~~) contact him immediately for your International Bank Draft of USD$ 850,000.00 (Eight Hundred and Fifty Thousand United States Dollars) (see emphasise the mobey again~~) This funds are in a Bank Draft for security purpose, so, he will send it to you and you can clear it in any bank of your choice anywhere in this world.

Therefore, you should send him your full Name, telephone number and your correct mailing address where you want him to send the Draft to you. (Yah yah, i will send it...100000 years later!)
