My Good friend, My names is Mr. Steven Bryson and the head of Admin,
Corporate Banking with the JP Morgan Chase New York. I'm writing this
message in connection of inter bank funds deposit from the Diamond
Bank ECOWAS. This amount is on your name for final wire transfer to
your bank account. I will be pleased if you will work confidentially
with me to have the said funds successfully remitted to your bank
account and afterwards you can compensate me any % you desire. There
is a compulsory need for us to secure a U.S Patriot Act Clearance
Certificate on your name and we can be able to execute the transfer to
your account. The diplomat from by the name of Barrister Ibrahim Musa
has vanished and we cannot get in contact with him and he has failed
to present himself to the bank after several emails and telephone
calls to him to present the required certificate. The bank will
confiscate this funds as unclaimed deposit that is why I'm soliciting
your co-operation to stop it from happening and have the funds
released to your account. Under a special arrangement, the U.S Patriot
Act Clearance Certificate will not cost much to secure it on your
name. I look forward to your answer. Regards, Mr. Steven Bryson Tel:
