Attn:

My name is Campbell James Anderson 11 and I am responding to your email regarding the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's Fund", in collaboration with The Dr Paul Brand Organization.

This is to let you that your funds have been approved and you have just 1 week to claim this offer, we have received your data and we will go ahead with the completion and approval for remittance of the fund to you.

It is noteworthy to inform that this transaction attracts a refundable tax deposit which you must pay to activate and qualify for the transfer of fund to your account. We are not charging any fee but the refundable tax amount for qualification and activation is very mandatory to your transaction before we give transfer approval to your bank. The reason for the refundable tax deposit is to make sure that beneficiaries are properly qualified and selected. We do not want to release funds to people who are not capable or people of questionable characters.

After you deposit the refundable tax money to us, we will transfer back to you because it is refundable tax and we will transfer the total of your fund inclusion of your deposited fund to you. The refundable tax deposit is to qualify you as capable and good standing to receive the donation.

This is the rule by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

Kindly reply back if you are willing to proceed.

Sincerely,


Campbell James Anderson 11

This initiative was borne out of humanitarian concerns by the Dr Paul Brand Organization to support individuals and businesses.
