Wau. "Opration" manager. So...what does an "opration" manager do, exactly?
HELLO MY DEAR
No. The hell. No.
THIS IS SEVERAL TIMES
Nope. First time I've heard of you. I check.
WE WESTERN UNION BENIN REPUBLIC ARE SENDING YOU THIS THE SAME EMAIL TO START PICKING UP YOUR PAYMENT AS WE TOLD YOU BEFORE THIS INFORMATION REACH US SINCE LAST THREE WEEKS AGO FROM OUR CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS ECO BANK WESTER UNION,
That is exactly the sentence as I received it. All caps. Perishingly little punctuation, and that wrong.
STATES THAT YOU ONLY HAVE 48HOURS TO EFFECT PAYMENT FOR THE ACTIVATION OF YOUR MTCN
What's an "MTCN", please?
TO ENABLE YOU CASH UP YOUR FIRST $5,000:00 FROM YOUR TOTAL (FUND) SINCE YOU ARE FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO MAKE THIS PAYMENT WE HAVE DECIDED THAT YOU ARE TO GO AHEAD AND PAY WHATEVER YOU HAVE FOR THE ACTIVATION FEE SINCE YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO COME UP WITH THE REQUIRED SUM $250,
Again with the comma. So in order:
* first time I've heard from them
* I can't pay whatever I have, I don't have anything
* I wouldn't pay $250 to an unknown spammer anyway.
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE HERE, SINCE YOU DON'T HAVE THE REQUIRE SUM OF$250, SO GO AND SEND ANY AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT YOU HAVE AT HAND STARTED FROM $55 TO UP $250, WE WILL ACTIVATE YOUR MTCN AND SEND TO YOU TODAY, UPON RECEIPT OF THIS PAYMENT,
So what's an "MTCN", again? And no. I do not have the "require sum". So sorry, save for I'm not sorry at all. And no, I don't even have $55. Who are you people asking for these impossibly high amounts of money?
BE INFORMED THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY THE BALANCE SUM OF YOUR ACTIVATION UPON CASHING UP OF YOUR FIRST 5,000:00 USD,
Nope.
ALSO I AM USING THIS MEDIUM TO INFORM YOU THAT FAILURE TO PAY THE BALANCE SUM WILL LEAVE US WITH NO OPTION BUT TO DEACTIVATE YOUR MTCN OF WHICH YOU WILL AND CAN NEVER CASH UP THE BALANCE SUM.
Dear gods, it's a period! At the end of a sentence! REJOICE!
...but it still doesn't make any sense. So the MTCN is something I don't have, only you have, only since you say you've contacted me before you've sent it to me? I don't understand.
SO I WANT YOU TO SEND THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE AT HAND. WITH THIS INFORMATION BELLOW. AND UPDATE US AMOUNT THAT YOU SEND AND THE MTCN.SEND THE PAYMENT DETAIL TO THIS EMAIL,(ww.westernunion880@yahoo.com.hk) PHONE NUMBER +229-98-52-72-91

6. AMOUNT ..........ANY
