Subject: YOUR ESTATE FUND HAS BEEN RELEASED.
YOUR ESTATE FUND HAS BEEN RELEASED.
Dear Friend
I write you because I know it will interest you that your Inheritance fund
for amount of $13,400,000 USD has been released and forwarded to a prime
Bank in the U.S.A for onward to you.
I am a member of the Senate Committee On Foreign Payment Implementation set
up to compile all Foreign Inheritance Payment and other Debts files. In this
regard, I noticed that some of my Colleagues wanted to part away with some
of the money belonging to the beneficiaries before attention could be drawn
properly to this, if not, you wouldn't have gotten this information by now.
We proposed the total Sum of US$13,4M USD to be credited into your account
as part payment. As a result to that I urge you to contact me for an
immediate action to commence into your account within ten (10) days of your
response.
For the Senate Committee On Foreign Payment Implementation to be
confidentially sure that this amount of US$13,400,000 moved into your
account, an EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT ACCOUNT is demanded to it or any good
account that can easily accommodate the fund. The reason why we decided to
use this security option in paying all this to you is because of your
Country restrictions on every huge incoming amount to the Country, in order
to avoid any suspicion that the money could be "TERRORIST, DRUG MONEY OR
MONEY LANDERING" considering the September 11th Terrorist Attack in the
United States of America (USA), and the subsequent attack in London, the
United Kingdom (UK).
The Senate Committee On Foreign Payment Implementation resolved that on
completion of this transaction, as soon as you confirm the receipt of your
total sum in your account, they the Government will be entitled to 5% of the
total sum as her Tax while we the officials will be entitled to 5% of the
total sum for realization of your fund into your account, making all total
of 10%. And 90% will be yours. In this wise, if this arrangement and
conditions are well accepted by you, do not hesitate to contact me for
further details.
You are required to send to me the following information to enable me
facilitate the smooth conclusion of the transaction at the earliest.
1) Your Full Name:
2) Your Address:
3) Your Telephone Number:_______________________
4) Your Fax Number: __________________________
5) Your Mobile Number:_____________________________
6) Your Inheritance Amount to Claim:______________________
7) Your Age:
I trust the above information will find your interest and urgent reply to it
for an immediate action to commence thereafter.
Remember to act as quick as possible hence your name has been listed as one
of the confirmed beneficiary in the bank's security payemet schedule for
oct,2006 forwarded to it by the Senate Committee On Foreign Payment
Implementation.Get back to through this email(don22_white@myway.com)

MR. Don White
