Subject: Attn: Beneficiary
Attn: Beneficiary,
This is to inform you that this bank received a mail from one Mr. Joe Blum who claim be a citizen of (Usa), identified himself as your Business partner, that you instructed him to contact this bank on your behalf in respect of the transfer of your overdue fund payment valued ($3.7).
In his mail he stated that you also instructed him to provide his own account in United States of America below, which he sent. He stated that the reason you handed him over this transaction to take care of was because you are sick and receiving treatment. This bank will like to confirm from you if you are aware of this new development before the bank go ahead to transfer this fund to his account.
Finally this matter required an urgent attention before it is too late to be corrected, the bank will not be responsible for any wrong transfer of your fund incase the person who wrote to the bank on your behalf is a fraud.
Yours In Service.
