Subject: We need your confirmation & approval over this matter
Dear Beneficiary,
How are you doing today? I hope you are getting better. There is an important issue therefore we need your urgent and immediate response over this matter. A report we had from MR. ROBERT PEREUX of [1062 DRESDEN DRIVE WEST, CHARLOTTE, NC 28205, USA] recently hereby stated that you are on a sick bed and incapacitated. He further stated that he is your business associates and you gave him the POWER OF ATTORNEY (POA) and legally authorized him to inherit all your properties, wealth and legacy.
He therefore contacted our office recently base on your CONTRACT/INHERITANCE fund and payment valued [US$10,500,000.00] Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars, which we are about to transfer to you. But he requested that your fund [US$10.5m] should now be transfer and wire directly into his personal Bank Account provided to us instead of yours.
However, for safety and security purposes, we have decided to contact you first over this matter for your confirmation, approval and clarification before releasing the money to MR. ROBERT PEREUX as your NEXT OF KIN as he claimed and stated. Please we need your immediate response and clarifications on this matter to enable us act accordingly and transfer the money to your Agent, MR. ROBERT PEREUX as soon as possible. We need your confirmation, assent and approval in order to avoid any wrong transaction or double claim thereafter therefore kindly respond and clarify us immediately over this matter upon receiving this message/email ok.
Thanks for your understanding and anticipated co-operations over this matter.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Bayo Bassu Fayemi.
