Inland Revenue and the British Tax Investigation Service are Authorised and Regulated by the Financial Services Authority. The Taxation and Revenue Department assesses certain types of taxes. A tax is levied on lotteries, raffles, e.t.c. almost everywhere, normally by the payment authority on behalf of the Government. In some cases, we receive a share of lottery taxes levied by the Government. However, in most cases, the tax takes the form of a permit fee. It is only classified as a tax in a few Governments/Countries. Non-Residential tax is the sole responsibility of the beneficiary. Income taxes deducted from source generally include direct federal tax , communal taxes, as well as, most of the time, church tax. As in the case of income tax, cantonal tax rates vary to a fairly large extent depending on the Locality.
Governmental tax scales for withholding tax and the corresponding regulations are available at the Government tax departments.The funds 1,000,000 GBP is now on Hold because we (Tax Investigation Service) noticed you are Non-Residence in United Kingdom, so in this case you will have to pay Non-Residential fee before this cheque will be released and allowed to be delivered to you by the courier agent.
Therefore you are to pay the Non-Residential tax fee of 0.000.1% of your funds 1,000,000.00 GBP which is about 1,000.00 GBP to our Account Department and provide us a copy of your payment receipt, before we can release the HOLD on your parcel. This will ensure that your funds are not taxed again by any Tax Authorities. You will not pay any additional taxes to the IRS again when your parcel finally arrive your address in your country .This cheque can only be sent to you if only you are cleared for UK INLAND REVENUE TAX, and the only way you can be cleared is when you pay for Non-Residentail tax fee and obatin the tax receipt.
A copy of this message will be forwarded to the UK NATIONAL LOTTERY AWARD TEAM and THE COURIER SERVICES. You are to make the payment of the Non-Residential Tax fee to Our Account Department before we can release your Cheque for delivery.

Dear Mr John Gay
This email was form me to John Gay, with the proof of payments.
Please find proof of payment as discussed that I will send it today. I hope
this time things will be expected good ,you said you will give a call
yesterday and you did not, I'm looking forward to hear from u as soon as
possible, please don't let me down this time because It was really difficult
for me to raise this money and communicate with the bank, as I had to look
for the management in money gram bank and unfortunately the lady is new did
know how to calculate the money, overcharges besides R2000.00 then she
assumed the money is R500.00 that is why I did not send it on Saturday as
promised, you promised that this is not a scam and I trusted you, I don't
know you Mr Gay but I sacrificed , I'm broke I don't have money but I hope
this time the cheque is coming to South Africa there will be no stumbling
block, and the outstanding amount will be paid as soon as possible, I don't
know how soon I must expect it, all I can tell is that , I can't wait.
Please don't let me down I repeat my self, get back to me, I'm looking
forward to talk to you. E-mail me in the same address because Yahoo can't
quickly see my e-mails.
Kind regard
The next best thing he came up with a story saying to me , because it took me too longto send the money, the money was deposited to the bank for safety sake and because I was furious with him and I said I rather get my refunds back, and he convienced me, still trusted and he asked me for R3000, 00 and I said to him I don't have R3000,00 and we argued for sometime untill we came to an agreement again , I said i can only send R1000 and he said he will assist with R2000,00 Then I did send R1000,00 and this is the mail:
Dear xxxxxxxxx
