Dear I Got Your Email But I Was So Busy In My Office That Is Why I did Not Get Back To You As Soon As,

So You Have To Stay Away From Friends Until You Receive Your Cheque And They Will Be surprise And Wondering

THANKS FOR YOUR UNDERSTANDING, AM LOOKING FORWARD TO HAVE THE PAYMENT SLIP AS SOOM AS YOU COME BACK FROM WORK.
Help! I went to western union and the clerk wouldn't let me send the money order, he said it sounds like a scam, I tried calling the white house's main switchboard and the operator wouldn't connect me to you, I ran home to email you, please tell me what to do...
HELLO MY DEAR I GOT YOUR EMAIL NOW, AND IT SOUNDS SO ROUGH TO ME.
WHY WILL YOU BE DECEIVED BY SOMEONE ELSE? OR DID YOU TELL THEM WHAT IS
GOING?, NOTE THAT THIS WORLD WE ARE NOW PEOPLE DO NOT WANT THE
PROGRESS OF THEIR FOLLOW ONES.
NOW ONCE THE CLERK TOLD YOU THAT I MRS MICHELLE OBAMA IS SCAM, THEN MY
QUESTION IS DID YOU BELIEVE ON WHAT HE/SHE TOLD YOU? YOU HAVE TO THINK
AS REASONABLE SOME ONES AND UNDERSTAND THAT PEOPLE ARE TOO JEALOUS
LIKE IO TOLD YOU EARLIER SO YOU HAVE TO BE KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHORT UNTIL
YOU GET WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
NOW AS YOU ARE TOLD BY THE JEALOUS CLERK THAT I AM SCAM ALL YOU HAVE
TO DO RIGHT NOW IS TO FIND ANOTHER WESTERN UNION NEAR YOU AND SEND THE
FEE OKAY BUT IF THEY DID NOT ALLOW YOU, TRY AND SEE SOMEONE TO HELP
YOU AND DON'T INFORM ANY ONE ABOUT WHAT IS GOING, I HAVE TOLD YOU THAT
EARLIER AND I WILL KEEP TELLING YOU THAT BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCE
THAT EARLIER.
SO GO TO ANOTHER WESTERN UNION AND SEND THE MONEY DO NOT TELL ANY ONE
WHAT IS GOING UNTIL YOU RECEIVED YOUR CHEQUE.
AM LOOKING FORWARD TO RECEIVE THE PAYMENT SLIP THANK YOU
Followed a minute later by:
LIKE IO TOLD YOU EARLIER SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHORT UNTIL OU GET WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR!
At this point I sort of got busy and forgot about our correspondence, 2 days later I got:
Does it means that you are no more interested of making the claim of
your outstanding fund US $20Million of yours which have successful
channel to Deliver to your Home Address and up till this moment you
have decided to remain silent after I have personally spending my
time to make sure that you receive your Bank Draft cheque With all
due respect, if you really know that you are no more interested of
making this claim of your outstanding fund of yours kindly update me
now to cancel this Delivery since your negative thought does not
allow you to believe on the reality so send me a declaration letter
stated that you are no more interested of making the claim so that I
will cancel the transfer.

Wow calm down, it will just take me a little long to get to another western union. It is farther away and I don't have a car, I have to arrange a ride...

HOWEVER I WRITE TO INFORM YOU THAT YOU MADE A VERY BIG MISTAKE BY KEEPING ME SILENT SINCE AND THAT DOES NOT MAKE ANY SENSE, BUT I HAVE HEARD FROM YOU AND UNDERSTAND THE REASON WHY YOU KEEP SILENT SINCE SO YOU HAVE TO TRY AND LOCATE ANY ANOTHER WESTERN UNION AND SEND THE FEE TO ENABLE EVERYTHING GET DONE ONCE YOU SEND THE NEEDED PAYMENT SO THAT DELIVERY OF YOUR CHEQUE WILL HOLD IMMEDIATELY,

BEST REGARD:
MRS MICHELLE OBAMA
I see now, so that's how it will work? I guess my friends were right, you are not Michelle Obama you are just a scammer!
If I don't get my 100 dollars back from you I will personally call the FBI and interpol. I'm sure it will make great headlines in the news to hear that Michelle Obama scammed an American citizen out of 100 dollars...
What A hell are you talking? Kindly Go Back to the western union where
you send the money And make clear to them. Are you Mad? What is
$100usd? kindly go back to the western union And tell them what is
going so that they will Make you clearly.
Secondly before talking rubbish from your mouth you have to Track the
Money Online And see the result,
thanks
Mrs Michelle Obama
Followed 10 minutes later by:
YOU MUST BE STUPID! WHO ARE YOU? I WILL FIRST REPORT YOU TO THE FBI
NOW BECAUSE I HAVE ALL IT CAN TAKE ME TO DO THAT, WHY ARE YOU ME T
AFTER BECAUSE OF $100USD WHICH WAS NOT FOR ME.
AS A REASONABLE SOMEONE THAT WANTS TO MAKE THE CLAIM OF HIS FUND YOU
HAVE TO GO BACK TO THE WESTERN UNION WHERE YOU MADE THE PAYMENT AND
TELL THEM WHAT IS GOING SO THAT THEY WILL KNOW WHERE THE PROBLEM CAME
FROM AND YOU ARE BUSY HERE SAYING NONSENSE ARE YOU MAD?
And after another 10 minutes:
why must you talk rubbish while you are Not truly right What Will I Do with your $100usd? Am just trying to Make sure that you receive your Approved fund That was brought to the White House And you and disgracing me Just Because Of $100usd And upon That You are Telling that you will report Me to the FBI While The FBI Are working Under My Husband Government.
Please Let That Not Happen Ever Again! Kindly Contact the western union clerk And Ask Him/ she where he post the Money Or You Instructed him/ To send the Money through western union Than Using Money Gram,
Am looking forward to hear from you.
Wow relax, that is not a way for the first lady to talk!
I will call Western Union and try to work out where the money is.
OK I just got off the phone with Western Union, the lady on the line said that the transaction was flagged because lately there were a lot of fraudulent wires to Benin.
I assured her that this was a legitimate transaction and explained her that the first lady herself is involved here.
She was very understanding and willing to help but said the system won't let her release the funds unless there was evidence that it is a legitimate transaction.
She suggested that you send me a letter, on the Whitehouse letterhead, explaining the situation and as soon as I send it to her she will release the money.
The Lady Must Be stupid And tell her to give me her Contact
information, secondly Am Above this your inability Process If You Are
Not Sure That You Are Dealing With The i The First Lady Please You Get
Off And I will Cancel the Delivery.
Please calm down I believe you, she just said that the system won't let a flagged transaction through unless evidence is provided. She wants to help me but the computer is blocking it without evidence. All we need is a letter on the Whitehouse letterhead with your signature.
And i told you that Am Not in position of that And by the way i have
told you several times to stop telling people what is Going On Until
You receive Your fund, do it Or Not Am not in the position to do that
you request if you wish not to claim your fund i will give it to the
charity Organisation And that is The best way Am going to do right
Now.
If you wish to send the fee Tell the Clerk that I Mrs Michelle Obama
have the every right to treas their location And get them close.
You are not in the position to send a letter on the Whitehouse letterhead? You are the first lady.
I didn't want to tell her but she said that because it was flagged for fraud she can't release the funds unless I explained to her where and why I was sending the money.
I don't understand why you are getting angry at the poor girl, she is just doing her job, surely it can't be too difficult to email me a letter...
How Many Times will I explain You That this Is Not scam? last time i take a picture with a sign for you to know that you are dealing with the rightful person, i Dont Have to do a bitch Thing with your $100usd tell the lady to send the Money to Benin republic using IKE FRANK And you Have to know that You are Not sending the Money to me so why is She so interested to know All That ?.
Please My Dear Its Impossible i cant accomplish your mission for that if you need your fund then you tell the lady that the $100usd is not for Me rather its for Benin republic Embassy. And tell the lady to Give Me her contact Information.
I told you, it wasn't for me, I believed you, it was just so the computer will let it through, however now I'm starting to get suspicious, if you are Michelle Obama why can't you get a letter? You have to admit that sounds strange...
The next email contained just this:
Something must have gone wrong, I didn't get the letter, just your husband's signature.

(The link is to a website that sells various stationary, including one called "The White-House Letterhead")
There seems to be a misunderstanding, I don't need a link to buy the letterhead, I need a letter ON the letterhead...
so what is the essence of requesting for the letter-head?
So like that they know the letter came from the White-House...
Its Impossible My Dear Collect Your Money And seek for Another Western
union if you Cannot Afford That Please You forget About the delivery,
thanks for your understanding.
That is very strange, if the first lady can't get a letter on the Whitehouse letterhead then I am starting to think that this may be a scam like everyone is saying.
If I don't get a letter by the end of today I will call Western Union to return the money to me and I will report your ip address to the FBI and interpol.
I will first report you to the FBI and go and claim your money from
the western union Now!
You can report me, I have done nothing wrong, you, on the other hand, have committed a serious crime by impersonating the wife of the President of the United States, that is a crime that carries at least 5 years in prison, I have forwarded your IP address to the FBI and Interpol,
All the best!
Enjoy your life.
