Unquote.

naturally it would be wonderful to receive a certified citi bank check in my favour for the amount of 8.3 million u. s. dollars, but I presume it is nothing but a scam. if I fill in all information required, the next thing will be, that an advance payment of several hundred u. s. dollars is demanded for certain handling fees.

Needless to say, I shall do nothing of the sort. I have received this advice several times.

Thank you very much for your kind assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Kent linnet, esq.

And the amount of memory that I will be transferred to you in just a little money for you and your bank if compared to Europe and Asia are developing countries follow you, I would be delighted if you contact the Bank. It is real and true in all aspects.

This whole Duncan Smith issue as well as Mark J Mershon is a bit onerous. The FBI ONLY uses FBI web site addresses and FBI email addresses. Consequently, if an email comes from an address other than FBI.GOV it is to be considered FALSE!

As one who has worked with FBI offices in several states, the FBI Directors are few and Mr. Mershon is NOT a Director. If he had any "stroke" at all, Mr. Mershon ... might be ... an Agent In Charge a.k.a. AIC. The term ADIC is also bogus, false, onerous and lying!
