Greetings
PLEASE YOU ARE ADVICE TO READ THIS MESSAGE CAREFULLY
There is an issue with the UBA transfer department in full inheritance payment
of $5.8 Million united state dollars directed in cash credited to file
KTU/9023118308 at the owner of this email address and it was scheduled earlier
to pay you via International online bank transfer, It became imperative to
contact you on the subject matter because after the fund was brought to
our office for remit, somebody from your country by name William Porter
contacted us and said you are on sick bed and ordered him to contact us to
remit the USD$5.8 Million using his information to pick up your fund presently
under our custody for transfer on your behalf.
When our UBA Debit Note was submitted to my desk for final Approvals before
forwarding it to Board for endorsement, I noticed that there are discrepancies
as there was no evidence of authorization letter from you for William Porter to
receive the fund on your behalf. I urgently summoned The Official responsible
for the presentation of the winning and directed him to stop the movement of
the funds and at the same time placed a stop order instruction on the funds
pending when your views and comments are received with regards to this matter.
I hereby urged you to email me urgently for your comments which will be
highly appreciated if you are still alive or not on sick bed to commence with
your payment accordingly, because we will not hesitate to continue the payment
transfer activation with the name of the gentleman on claim if no response
comes from you. Contact me on this e-mail ([email protected])as your
silence will be a clear indication that you authorized him to effect the above
changes.Also Reconfirm the information below to help us facilitate your payment
YOUR RESPOND IS HIGHLY NEEDED.
