Subject: I am sending this message to you on my capacity as the attorney in charge
Attn: VICTIM-FULLNAME,
I am sending this message to you on my capacity as the attorney in charge of the legal processing for your fund transfer which has been directed to our office from the NEPAD regional office in Nigeria. This is to inform you that your fund could not be able to be transferred directly from Nigeria due to the problem of the OIC as Nigeria is been suspected to harbor terrorist related organizations and dissidents and because of that they have been disfranchised from the International market by the World Bank and IMF from transferring individual funds that is above the one million dollars mark ( USD $ 1 M) that is to say that any individual money like yours cannot be approved or transferred by the Nigerian Government unless it is a government to government transfer , consequent up on this the NEPAD head office in UK directed that all outstanding payments be paid by the South African offshore office after several complaints by individuals and contractors .
You are therefore directed to reconfirm your details and information with my office to enable us process for the approval of your fund transfer via any of the commercial banks here or the apex bank.
Note that some government officials has tried to divert your fund in Nigeria but could not succeed since they did not have your consent and because of that the government of Olusegun Obasanjo directly involvement as this issue was raised three days ago at the ongoing World economic Forum (Summit) holding in Cape Town South Africa , we were mandated through the office of the Finance Minister to contact you discretely and start the processing for the fund approval .
Please do furnish us with:
1) Your full and complete Names:
2) A copy of ID or passport or Drivers license (as the case may be):
3) Or any related document(s) that will identify your person:
4) Physical / Contact address :
5) Any reference number(s) or approval No, if any.
6) Contract amount / sum or approved amount / sum :
The above documents can be send by fax or scanning through the email .
Note that this will enable our office to obtain the required affidavit from the high court which will give us the power of attorney to proceed in your absence on your behalf and remember that you are at liberty to come to South Africa for the conclusion of the transaction hence do notify us on readiness towards coming here as required by law otherwise we shall proceed as soon as we acknowledge the receipt of your ID details .
Bear in mind that the transaction with the bank need to be FICA compliant and hence all the related documents / information can then be forwarded to you to enable you access your fund after it has been transferred to your yet to be nominated bank account in your country or any country of your choice as permitted within the law since everything about this must be in accordance with the banking act ( B A) of section 31 of 1995 as amended in section 32 of paragraph (ii) of the 2003 BA .
Otherwise the transfer will be stopped by the Reserve Bank and the Federal Ministry of Finance if all the legal requirements are not met since the fund in question is insured against any addition or deduction of charges as stipulated by the SARS/ IRS board on VAT regulations.
Please do indicate your readiness to abide by the basic requirements listed above as this will enable me to fulfill all legal obligations since your case is now within my jurisdiction
Further more your receiving bank account details will be needed as soon as we receive the information above which will help us to formalize with the holding bank then the bank will contact you officially for a reconfirmation of your account details where you wish the fund to be transferred, again you are not expected to make any unauthorized payment(s) to any person / individual or group of persons unless a written instruction from the director general .
Thanks and regards for your cooperation in anticipation,
Yours sincerely ,
