Subject: YOUR FUND
DR.EARNEST EBI(ebibanker@yahoo.com)
DEAR,
Please my friend; I am Dr. Earnest Ebi, Assistance to Deputy Governor, International Corporate Services of Central Bank of Nigeria. Mr. Usman Forouk, who is currently, now on compulsory leave and all power, has been vested on me to make all international payments.
I discovered your fund has been in this bank for many years unclaimed because my boss Mr.Usman Farouk has refused to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund. This is because he has dumped your fund in his files and documentations hidden from every other person, and has been using the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich himself without your knowledge. I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account today using the easiest and the quickest method, which have not been made known to you. By this method, your fund will be paid in, directly to your bank. After the transfer, you will confirm the fund in your own bank account in just 2hrs the same day. This is done within the bank alone and it is very safe as there will be no stoppage or interception of transfer from any quarters.
The method which you were led to made you spend so much, and difficult for you to meet up all the prerequisites of huge fund transfer from here. So if you should confirm that you are still interested and that you will abide by my words not letting this out to any one until the fund hits your account. You should then hurry and contact me with your recent banking details. But be mindful that I will only transfer to you USD20 Million part of your fund, because that is the approved amount for my position to handle.
As a transparent person, I have nothing to gain by keeping your fund, I want to assist you receive your fund before my boss resumes offices. You have to follow up and work with me now, so keep the payment very confidential because of fraudsters and imposters who go about presenting various bank accounts to receive another beneficiary's fund.
Confirm to me through my email, (ebibanker@yahoo.com), your present/valid account co-ordinates so that ...
I do not transfer your fund to the wrong bank account. Do also attach any copy of identification to enable procure proper documentation for you.
You can still call me on my direct line +234 8035994583.
Yours truly,
Dr. Earnest Ebi
