HELLO DEAR
I am Mr Gregory Lawrence Yale , Director of operations from (
Wells Fargo Bank) United States of America Head Office. My office
monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial
institutions in United States of America concerned with foreign claim
payments.
I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds
moving within banks both on the local and international levels in line
with foreign claim settlement. I have before me list of funds, which
could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts
have been identified either as, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced
sum etc.
Your Name was among the people expecting the funds to be transferred
into their account, on this note; I wish to have a deal with you as
regards to your unpaid funds.I have your file before me and hope your
data’s are correct and un-tampered unless you reconfirm it not
correct.
As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to
the Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed
deposits, I have the opportunity to write you based on the
instructions I received two days ago from the Foreign Debts
reconciliation dept to submit the List of payment reports/
expenditures and audited reports of revenues.
Among several others, I have decided to remit your claim sum following
my idea that we can have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this
legally.My conditions:
1. The sum of USD$35M only will be transfer into your account after
the proccessing of all relevant legal documents with your name as the
bonfide beneficary,the transfer will be made by Draft or telegraphic
Transfer (T/T), confirmable in 7 working days.
2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will
be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.
3. There should be no third parties as most problem associated with
your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.
If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do
immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will
proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the
seven days mandate.
I hope you don’t reject this offer and have your funds transferred.
Waiting for your reply soon E-MAIL [email protected]

Mr Gregory Lawrence Yale
