UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF INTERNAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES


UNITED NATIONS OFFICE OF INTERNAL OVERSIGHT SERVICES
Internal Audit, Monitoring, Consulting and Investigations Division
From: Ms. Carman Lapointe-Young.
To: Fund Beneficiary,
 
This is to inform you that I came to Nigeria last week from New York United Nations headquarters, after series of complain from the FBI and other security agencies from almost every part of the globe against Africa, the Federal Government of Nigeria and the British Government over the rate of scam activities going on in these nations and the rate at which fund beneficiaries are being treated and deceived to the extent of rendering most of these people bankrupt and homeless by collecting and asking them to send more money to them because they claim that they will help you and they claim to be from one office or another but all these are mere lies and deceit.
 
Having met with President Goodluck E. Jonathan of Nigeria whom claimed that he has been trying his best over the past year to make sure fund beneficiaries gets their funds & as directed by our secretary general, Mr. Ban Ki-Moon, We are working in collaborations with the Nigerian Economic & Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) to waive away all the fees/Charges and authorize the Government of Nigeria to effect the payment of your compensation amount of $10M USD approved by the British government and the UN into your account without any delay.
 
It was resolved that the only fee you must pay to confirm your fund payment is only the Notarization fee to the UN which is to obtain all the legal documents backing up the fund payment and these documents will also be forwarded to your government and local banks. Sincerely, you are such a lucky person because as I just arrived in this country, I went through your fund payment & ownership file to discover that some top Nigerians and British Government Officials are interested in your fund and they are working in collaboration with officers from USA to frustrate you and thereafter divert your fund into their personal account. I have a very limited time to stay in Nigeria, so I would like you to urgently respond to this message so that I can advise you on how best to confirm your fund after the Notarization fee payment settled.
 
 
Yours Sincerely,
Mrs. Carman Lapointe-Young
United Nations Under-Secretary
General for Internal Oversight.

Muhammad Gaddafi please help

Omar Jelban is my name and I am a former senior staff of the Muhammad Gadhafi inner circle back in Tripoli Libya and also the former Libyan ambassador to the United Kingdom. I have long defected from his service and now presently reside in Ghana where I was given refuge via the Libyan embassy from where I support the Transition Council Financially and anonymously

I was instructed by Colonel Gadhafi's son Hannibal Gaddafi back in 2008 to help relocate 38 million pounds to my UK account as I am also a British citizen by birth and a trusted confidant.Now I need this money urgently I want to know if you can assist me get this money out of the UNITED KINGDOM with my directions and instructions on what you have to do to assist me , which will be done by internet banking only.You are not required to travel down to the UK but only to communicate with my bank via their internet service facility and every process will be done smoothly and concluded within 2 weeks.

You might ask why can't I just do this myself? On May 1, 2011 I was given 24 hours to leave the country after Foreign Secretary William Hague said i have been declared "persona non grata".and also on travel ban. The expulsion was in response to attacks on British embassy premises in Tripoli following the death of Colonel Gaddafi's son in a NATO air strike.

If you agree to assist me, your share will be Eight million pounds guaranteed.

Regards,

Omar Jelban.

May peace and God's mercy and blessings be upon you
Long live Libya, free and dignified.
