Following on from the earlier scam using Gordon Brown's name, I see that "Alistair Darling" has joined the ranks of the scammers!

Small technical point of advice to the moron who constructed this, there is no such position as "Governor of International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the United Kingdom".

REF:- IMF/FGN/8809 INSTRUCTION TO RELEASE YOUR INHERITANCE

This is to intimate you of a very important information which will be of a great help to redeem you from all the difficulties you have been experiencing in getting your long over due payment due to excessive demand for money from you by both corrupt Bank officials and Courier Companies after which your fund remained unpaid to you.

I am Hon. Alistair Darling, the Governor of International Monetary Fund (IMF) to the United Kingdom. It may interest you to know that reports have reached our office by so many correspondences on the uneasy way which people like you are treated by Various Banks and Courier Companies/ Diplomats across Europe to Africa and Asia /London Uk and we have decided to put a stop to that and that is why I was appointed to handle your transaction here in London.

All Governmental and Non-Governmental prostates, NGOs, Finance Companies, Banks, Security Companies and Courier companies which have been in contact with you of late have been advised to hands up from your transaction and you have been advised NOT to respond to them anymore since the IMF is now directly in charge of your payment.

You are hereby advised NOT to remit further payments to persons and institutions with respect to your transaction as your fund will be transferred to you directly from our Office. Any action contrary to this instruction is at your own risk. Please,fill the following and send back to us.
