Hello:
Re: Arrest of Two expatriates, Presently in our Custody Charged with an Offence of Money Laundry.
This is to inform you that, the above subject matter is related to you which lead to the arrest of Two suspects at Heathrow Airport here in London who are in possession of a huge amount of Monies($) awaiting transit to Switzerland, During our interrogation with them ,they disclosed to us that it was a long time claim payment meant to be delivered to you, but it was routed London-Switzerland, Secondly the documents found on them bear your name as the sole beneficiary of the said fund and your full contact address .But due to all the irregularities in their statements we discovered that they are fraudulent, for this reason we are contacting you for verification and confirmation if you have any long outstanding claim with any country in the past or any bank/security Finance company.
We urgently demand a response to this letter to enable us advice you, and follow up this issue with the accused persons and the country concerned for justice to be done if you are a victim of their fraudulent activities. Note that if we do not hear from you soonest we shall have no option than to repatriate the accused and return the money to the country of Origin.
Thank you
