I am Mr. Kash Patel, the new Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation-FBI.
It has come to my attention that your fund payment file has been brought to my office by Mr. Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Mrs. Georgieva has requested my signature to confiscate your transaction with the IMF and divert your fund to the Government Treasury account due to your inability to pay the required fee of $75 for the IMF Approval certificate.
