Subject: Urgent confirmation needed from you
Attention: Beneficiary,
Compliment of the Season to you, Please be informed that in the course of our General Auditing and Account revision of the first quarter of the year 2018 ending within few days from now, we discovered that the Bank Accounts belonging to some Benefactors have been changed on the basis that the owners have died some time last year or have given out an authorization note of change of data.
After the investigations however, it was revealed that there are Foreigners who are collaborating with Retired Staffs to make these changes illegally without the knowledge of the bonafide Benefactors and one traced to your own change is one Mrs. Amanda Jones who said you are dead, hence they have forwarded some documents of funeral service held for you so as to divert your fund. They have also forwarded the below bank account details as the new account that will receive your due payment sum of $22M (Twenty- two Million United States Dollars Only). Please see the below account and confirm back to us if you are still alive or if you gave her any authorization to receive the funds on your behalf:
Bank Name: Bank of America (Hillsborough, IL branch)
Acct. #: 1010246561978
Routing#: 053207766
Swift code: BOAUS3N
Name on account: Mrs. Amanda Jones.
We wanted to confirm if actually this is true and hence decided to write to your email address which after 2 days from now and there is no response, we will then know that you are dead indeed and go on with the transfer. If proved otherwise by you that you are not dead, please get back to us with your full contact details such as your full names, Telephone number and contact address. You are urgently requested to reply to this email notification thereby making the requested details available to our bank as this will help us reach a conclusion that you are not dead while your fund valued at $22M will be paid to you immediately without any further delay after this long wait.
You have to get back to us on time for us to commence legal proceedings against Mrs. Amanda Jones and his accomplices. We anticipate your swift response to enable us carry out the final funds transfer. Thank you.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs. Susan Brown
