To all scam victims,

We have been informed that hundreds of fake compensation emails usually
pretending to be from banks or other organizations are being sent from
Nigeria to scam victims on a daily basic by scammers. The long arms of the
law will surely catch up with them one after the other. We are trying our
best and God is indeed not asleep, the wicked will surely not go unpunished.
Please note that we have never held any scam victims compensation programme
in Nigeria, this is First of Its Kind.

This is to inform you that the Federal Government of Nigeria has increased
the compensation fund from the initial $20,000 to $50,000 per scam victim
and has also instructed the Compensation Commission to duly transfer the sum
of fifty thousand Dollars ($50,000) each to every scam victims as part of
the grand celebration of NigeriaŒs 50th independence anniversary ('Golden
Jubilee').

If you have been scammed contact the Compensation Commission at their email
address stated below, tell them you have been scammed and you want them to
reimburse you with the sum of $50,000 as instructed by Nigerian Government,
send them your (FULL NAME) for verification and after verifications if truly
you have been scammed you will be reimbursed.

Compensation Commission email address: cc01102010@gmail.com

Warning: Please if you know you have not been scammed do not contact the
compensation commission because your details will be verified at Western
Union and MoneyGram offices to see if truly you have sent money to Nigeria.

We are Projecting favourably the image of the government and people of
Nigeria locally and internationally through a proactive mechanism (in line
with global best practices) of informing, enlightening and educating
Nigerians and the International Community about Nigeria.

Yours sincerely,
Miss. Stephanie Mamuzo
