Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME ,
I am assuring you that this business is 100% risk and trouble free and that everything will work out fine once you follow instructions accordingly.First you have to send me any of your account details where you want the money to be deposited so that we will apply for the release of the money on your behalf of which I will start the processing of the money into your account as soon as i receive the account detials from you.
As soon as we apply and the bank will write to you regarding the requirements they need for the release of the money. I will send the requirements to the bank on your behalf and also send you the copies for your own records.But before then, once you convince me that you will not let me down either now or in the future, I will computerized your name in our banking system as the next of kin to the deceased person. Be it know to you that all arrangement for the success of the business is in place and with the help of the top official in the Bank those that are involved in this business also with the help of the Minister who will help us to get Approval from the Federal Ministry of Finance all will be well.
Now I need the A/C information and your private tele/fax nos as a need may arise either to call you in the day or night as occasion warrants. Finally you have to be following instructions which I will be getting from “OUR’ insider’ in the bank who is the main Key to the success of this business without much questions until we see face to face because 'too many questions can sink a ship' After the processing of all Foreign Payment documents, and when the money is ready to be paid into your A/C, I will fly to meet you at least 2-3days ahead of the money going into your A/C then we will sign the binding agreement, after your bank must have been satisfied with the original documents which I will bring along with me to your country to show your bank.
My fear now is the security of this money in your custody once transferred into your A/C because I don't know you before nor your capability and facilities to handle this large amount, what is your age and profession? I really want to know more of you and I will want you to keep it very confidential at all times and also to be maintaining constant communications with me knowing that this business should take precedence over any other business for the mean time.
I await your urgent confirmation of the account detials so that we can proceed.Call me on phone no.+225 08 48 44 53 ,so that we can have a heart to heart discussion.
Best Regards.
Willson Victor.
