Default 419 Scammer - Better Than Usual

Received this in my junk today - a bit better written/spelt than most & made me smile

Attention: Beneficiary,


My name is George Osborne. As you must be aware, I am the chancellor of the Exchequer( The HM Treasury) in the United Kingdom. I am writing you with regards to your protracted and stalled funds transfer you have been expecting from the U.K, Nigeria, Benin republic and Europe. For your interest, I would urge you to accord this correspondence your full indulgence and attention, as you may likely have been receiving other emails of similar contents from the numerous fraud syndicate and impostors.


The authenticity and difference would be evident in a moment. I was specially instructed by the Office of the Prime Minister PM David Cameron Prime Minister to embark on a personal review of all long pending and stalled International Transfer Files of all Banks Operating in the United Kingdom and other European Countries, including those at our Offshore Foreign Correspondent Banks, with a view of redeeming genuine cases of Transfers. The office of the Prime Minister has mandated me to ensure that all genuine claim and transfers are paid.


The Government of the U.K took a major step in addressing these problems recently by establishing an autonomous Her Majesty Debt Management Office(DMO ). The creation of the DMO consolidates debt management functions in a single agency, thereby ensuring proper coordination. The DMO under my supervision, centralizes and coordinates the country's debt recording and management activities, including debt service forecasts; debt payments; and advising on debt negotiations as well as new borrowings. It also provides for the establishment of a supervisory board that has oversight functions as well as endorsement of strategic thrusts and policies for the organization, consistent with the broad policy objectives of government.


Your transfer file came to my attention just this morning, and I was compelled to take special interest in your transfer because of its peculiar history of procedural inconsistencies and unauthorized payment approval documents that are contained in your file.Obviously all the persons you assigned to process your transfer have proved to be fraudulent and incompetent. Simply put it that some management of the Bank have tried unsuccessfully to smuggle your transfer through a non-existent back door, while impersonating the offices of various government departments before you, and feeding you with forged transferred document.


Consequently, I have this morning ordered the heads of all the relevant Government Departments genuinely involved in the foreign transfer protocol, including the Bank to suspend all further action on your transfer pending conclusion of my personal investigation into the actual reasons why your transfer has failed to date. Official memos have been issued to the relevant departments. However, preliminary evidence shows clearly that some fraudulent persons you have dealing with have been extorting monies from you through concocted excuses and lies, only for them to divert the monies collected from you to their private pockets and return back to demand more monies from you endlessly.They are impersonators and impostors. Please you should not allow yourself to be deceived and extorted anymore.


As the Head of the Treasury in the United Kingdom, I want to assure you that your transfer will now be processed through the simple, transparent and authoritative means where you will not be required to pay any unauthorized fees. Please discontinue any form of contact with all those you have been dealing with before now, no matter the nature of your relationship with any of these crooks, including your local attorney. My intention is to quickly reactivate and sort out your transfer without any distraction. So you are forbidden to preempt anyone of this contact, otherwise I will be compelled to out rightly cancel your transfer along others a bad debt.
