Dear VICTIM-FULLNAME,
Good day, Thank you very much for your response, and your interest in this transaction, Like I said before, due to this issue on my hands now, it became necessary for me to seek your assistance.

Having resolved to entrust this project into your hands, I want to remind you that, it needs your commitment and diligent follow up. If you work seriously, the entire matter should be over within a couple of days. Please understand that this deal would be done strictly via email as I don want any trace on discussing about this on phone and for lingual purpose.
READ THE FOLLOWING AND GET BACK TO ME:
Firstly, you should note that this project is highly capital intensive. This is why I have to be very careful. I need your total devotion and trust to see this through.

Presently, I am in contact with our correspondence online Bank, which would contact you for an offshore account opening for the purpose of this deal as soon as I make success in transferring the funds to the online bank as I cannot have the funds Transferred directly into your personal account, as well as I don need your Bank account details since you
have to open a new account with the correspondent online bank that Hang Seng Bank will specify to you for security measures, that is why I have the master plan of this deal Ready before now, to make sure we transfer this funds out Of Hong Kong without any trace, thereby making us to enjoy our lives peacefully once we have succeeded in claiming this funds, I advise you follow all my instructions religiously.
The money would be transferred to your account which you will open with the correspondence bank for both of us which is the best way that I have found to get this money out of my bank, and the main reason for this is that if we use this online bank, the transfer would be seen as an In-house bank to bank transfer as the correspondence online bank has the same telex type as my bank (Hang Seng Bank).Also you have to know that I cannot transfer this money in my name as my bank will be aware that it is from me. This is where I need you most. As result of this, you will have to open an account with the corresponding online bank as soon as the fund is transferred to the bank with you as the beneficiary.
I will obtain a certificate of deposit from my bank; it will be issued in your name. This will make you the bonafide owner of the funds, after this, the money will be banked online for both of us as I will personally make the transfer from my bank to the correspondence online bank. We can then instruct the bank to transfer our various shares into our respective home bank accounts. I will also perfect the documentations with the assistance of attorney to give the project the legal rights, so please do not worry about this. Before we commence, I really have to be convinced that you are whom you really say you are, that is why I need your IDENTIFICATION as an onus of proof. Lest I forget I will advice that you take records of any expenses incurred during this transaction so that it can be deducted from the 10% set aside for the benefit of the both of us.
I will send the name and contact details of the correspondence online bank to you so that you can resume communication with them as soon as you are contacted. Ensure that you keep this project confidential; do not discuss it with anybody, because of the confidential nature of this project and my work. Please confirm to me you got this mail as let me know specifically when I will be receiving a copy of your ID so that we can commence with this deal at once, I really want us to conclude with this deal and share this money as soon as possible, which would really help both of us, hence transfer would be done Via T $ T. Copy of my ID would be sent to you once I get your ID.
