RE: WORLD BANK INSTRUCTION FOR THE RELEASE OF YOUR FUND
I am Eric Daniels, the Chief Executive of Lloyds TSB Bank Plc, London. I am writing this message to inform you that my office has taken over all the money transactions originated from any part of Africa and Europe Countries as contract payment, inheritance fund or lottery winning due to unauthorised demands of payments by corrupt officials of Apex Banks and some Security Companies as reported by the International Communities.
Subsequently, the World Bank Group and International Monetary Fund (IMF) have mandated the Lloyds TSB Bank Plc via my office to release your fund through International Certified Bank Draft or Telegraphic Wire Transfer, hence your Name/Email address appeared as the approved fund beneficiary whose fund was successfully cleared recently.
On this process, you are advised to forward your direct telephone numbers, complete names and mailing address to our Group Finance Director [MR. TIM TOOKEY, CBE] for immediate process/release of your fund to you. Note that Ten Million Dollars Only (US$10,000,000.00) was allocated to you and all the fund approvals and authorisation documents including irrevocable payment guarantee bond from the World Bank and IMF payment instruction was issued in your name and has been handed over to MR. TIM TOOKEY authorising him to issue the International Certified Bank Draft in your name and send to you through a faster courier company.
Finally, you are advised to dissociate from any way you may have been working to receive this money no matter your commitment to avoid miss information and excessive demand of unauthorised payments. MR. TIM TOOKEY, CBE is on standby to receive your communication and release your fund to you through International Certified Bank Draft without further delay.
Therefore, make your contact directly to MR. TIM TOOKEY through his Telephone Number: +447031914985, Fax Number: +447006091329 and Email: timtookeytsbplc@yahoo.co.uk
Thanks for your cooperation.
Eric Daniels.
Chief Executive, Lloyds TSB Bank Plc, London.
