NOTIFICATION
FOR RELEASE OF $15.5M
With all due regards to you, I am Rev.Kojo Dickson 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 your funds
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 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. Contact me on below contact details so that I will issue
you a payment release code which must be given to you personally on
telephone strictly for security reason. This code is very important and it
is what you will use to confirm your payment.
God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
REV.Kojo Dickson
