Accra - Ghana NOTIFICATION FOR RELEASE OF $15.5MWith all due regards to you, I am Rev. Phillip Osun the new director, international remittance department of this Bank. My boss Mr. James Adoh, the MD/ CEO of this Bank is now on compulsory leave and all power has been vested on me to make all international payment. Furthermore due to allegations of corrupt practices against other Banks, your fund and other foreign overdue payment has been designated to be transferred to you through this Bank.Be informed that Approval has been issued for the release of $15.5M which has been in this Bank for many years UNCLAIMED. My boss in collaboration with the some other top bank directors have refused to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund, because they have been using the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich themselves without your knowledge. I want to help you PULL OUT this fund to your personal Bank account today using the easiest and quickest method which has not been known to you before. By this method a Domiciliary Account will be opened for you in our Bank where your funds will be lodged for onward transfer into your personal bank account.A domiciliary account is a secure account which we will register for you in our Bank and Credit your payment of $15.5M for further credit into your account.The essence of this Domiciliary account is to secure and protect your payment from being diverted by fraudulent people or making payment to a foreign account which do not belong to you. The greatest advantage is that you can instruct us to credit your nominated account bit by bit with small amount thereby saving yourself from the trouble of Financial Authority in your country who monitor large transfer due to current trend of terrorism and money laundary. Another beauty of the domiciliary account is that you can retain the balance left in your account in our Bank and can also instruct us to pay out money to any Bank of your choice in the world, or issued you with an ATM Card which you can use in any part of the world when on a business trip.
I hope you now understand better now the advantages of a Domiciliary account and why you need this account to receive your payment in our Bank. You are adviced to forward us with a acceptance letter and your direct telephone and/or fax numbers.
