Subject: Letter For Fund Payment Claim,
Urgent Attention:Beneficiary,
A team was set up by the United States Treasury Department to search
and recover an overseas trapped fund.
Following series of complaints from Citizens of the United States as
well as Citizens of Other Countries In Europe,Asia and other
continents over the Discrepancies and fraudulent ways in which funds
transfers are handled by Africans which has made it impossible for a
lot of People to claim their Winning grants or Inheritance funds from
most African Countries due to frauds and illegal activities, A
decision was reached recently by the United nation and United States
Treasury Department under the authority of the White House to compel
African Financial bodies (Banks) to urgently release all funds of
Americans,Asia and Europeans and other continents citizens that are
trapped in most Banks and Courier Companies,money gram and western
union agents in Africa. It was discovered that some bureaucratic
bottlenecks were put by these Banks and Couriers etc to make it
impossible for beneficiaries to claim their funds so that they will
fraudulently divert those funds to their private accounts.
Consequently,I was personally mandated to handle this matter to ensure
that all funds of our Citizens and others which are fraudulently being
trapped in African Banks are urgently retrieved and paid to the actual
Beneficiaries under a legal manner. Our team of experts were delegated
to Benin Republic, Nigeria, Ivory Coast and Ghana,etc for this task
and we discovered your File as unclaimed fund.It was discovered that
officials of the Bank has only put up illegal requirements in order to
make it difficult for you to claim your fund.
The United States Department of Treasury has retrieved all Files of
illegal transactions and we will be working under a legitimate
arrangement to ensure that you follow the normal process to receive
your fund.You are requested to Re-confirm the following information to
