Subject: Mr. Gregg William URGENT FUND TRANSFER
Dear Reverend Isaac Beytah,
How are you doing today? This is a great offer of fund transfer and I decided to contact you because I have read about you from your website and I believe in you with hope that after the business you will not disappoint me because I have made all the verification regarding this fund, my name is Mr. Gregg William and I am a banker here in London England I work with the International Monitoring Fund.
There is a fund which I wanted to transfer and the fund is usd$12million and the good thing about this offer is that you do not have to pay any advance fee money to any one until your bank confirm the money in your bank account, all the transfer charges and the document fees will be pay by an investor but after the transfer of the fund into your account we will give the investor 10% of the total money.
So I decided to contact you because I believe that you will be able to handle the transfer of the fund into your bank account then after the transfer of the fund to your account I will come to meet you in your country USA for the sharing of the fund once the money is confirm in your account.
I will offer you 30% of the total money and 10% for the investor and the remaining money will be for me, so I need to hear from you as soon as possible so that I will commence on the transfer process of the fund without any delay.
As you can see this is an open deal and I am contacting you because I have seen your website and I believe that you will be able to provide a very good account that will accommodate this money when transfer to your account in USA.
IMPORTANT: Please all our discussion should be strictly through email and I assure you that the transfer of the fund will be completed within two weeks from now.
Mr. Gregg William.
