Subject: YOUR URGENT RESPONSE IS NEEDED
Dear Solvig Jagder,
How are you today, i hope all is well with you? Am write in respect of the mail I send to you some few months ago, I haven't to been able to contact you because my bank kept the fund of Mr.Choi Soohyun pending which make it difficult for anyone to come up to claim the fund.
But now the fund had been re-opened for claim, so what I want from you is for you to present yourself as the next of kin to Mr.Choi Soohyun, and am going to use my position in the bank to influence my assistant in the office so that we can contact you and claim this fund with your name since all the required documents to fortify this claim is with us here in the desk in the office therefore me and my assistant will be successful to claim the fund with your name as soon as you are willing to comply and take the offer of 30% of the total amount after the claim and transfer of the fund into your designated account.
Me and my assistant in the office can not claim this account our self because we are working with the bank and the bank knowing full well that we are citizens of the country and this is why me and my assistant in the office have contacted you so that you can apply to the bank with your name and lets claim this account/fund successfully and transfer into your account in your country.
We also need absolute confidentiality when claiming this account because I don?t want my bank to know that we are the people whom contacted about this fruitful opportunity and that is why you must keep this transaction secret until these fund is transferred directly into your account successfully.
This transaction does not require any type of delay because the bank will close the account after three months and this is why we need to work toward this claim immediately and claim the fund within seven bank working days to enable the bank approve the claim and remit the funds into your account.
In other for me and my assistant to confide your trust in this transaction we require you to forward the following details immediately to enable us proceed:
1.Your Mobile Telephone number
2.Your Country Of Residence/Origin
3.Contact Address
4.Age
5.Profession
I need you to provide the above details immediately so that we can proceed for the claim of the account. By applying you will require filling the claim application form which will qualify you as the next of kin. The claim application form will be forwarded to you immediately; I receive the details requirement above.
I will send the claim application immediately I confirm your willingness to accept the 30% after this transaction by applying as the next of kin.
Waiting to hear from you urgently,
Mr.James Offor
