Subject: Dear Beneficiary.
Dear Beneficiary.
Sir,
With regards to the above mentioned, I would like to bring to your
notice about the sudden changes in the particulars, beneficiary and
signature in the inheritance approved payment file in your details.
Through the appointment of the WORLD BANK AUDITORS we as a Committee
set up here in UAE, has been mandated to take over foreign payment
owed by African States. In this regard, I wish to notify you about a
discovered fund which was deposited with our paying bank in your
favour for foreign project execution payment. Your information was
indicated as the approved receiving beneficiary to this allocation.
The payment approved valued $25.5 million dollars which you are going
to receive from us as soon as possible once you work and follow
instructions from this Co-operation; also we have been trying to reach
you for the past three weeks but all to no avail, but thank God today
that we finally get in touch with you.
Meanwhile, my concern of attempting to contact you today is because of
an emergency and suspected application which was just filed to us, by
a claimed to be your representative, Mr. Alfred Smith, of the United
Kingdom. And it was indicated that due to an automobile accident which
you recently had that almost claimed your life have made you to
delegate him. MR. SMITH, who came to change your particulars and
details as the beneficiary for receiving the approved fund payment in
your favour to your new CITI BANK OF LONDON, ACCOUNT NO: 652 007123:
He also initiated a move to replace previous information as the
beneficiary with IMPROMUNDI UK LTD as the new and legitimate
beneficiary nominated by you recently, please confirm if this request
is really from you.
We require a final confirmation of facts from you to avoid wrongful
payment or diversion of allocation to the wrong beneficiary. We are
taking our time in following this supposedly, therefore get in touch
with us as soon as you receive this information. The payment, which
was approved, to pay out in your favor is ready for release soon as we
finalize the required reconciliation with you as the original
beneficiary in our record.
Having made these clarifications, do confirm if you provided MR.
SMITH, with the details about this your transaction to change the
information as informed? You have been well informed and are advised
to revert back to us or call the undersigned as soon as you receive
this information to enable us to move forward with your fund release.
Lastly, you are hereby advised henceforth in your best interest to
stop further communications you have with any person(s) regarding this
funds and work with our instructions to enable you to have your
approved fund $25.5 million dollars released/transferred to any of
your nominated bank accounts. A word is enough for the wise, be wise.
Yours faithfully,
Arnold Eric.
