RE: IMMEDIATE PAYMENT NOTIFICATION*
* *
*Attn: Customer,*
*This is to draw your attention that your funds lying in suspense account
with the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA has accrued to the tune of USD$20 Million.
The Federal Government of Nigerian has authorized us to effect every
outstanding payment immediately based on the new Government instruction by
the Newly elected President of Nigeria Alhaji Musa Yar'Adua , the only
problem now is that we detected a lot of irregularities associated with your
transfer and we will appreciate it if you answer the following question.*
*(1) Did you at any time delegate any body not even from your family to
claim your fund on your behalf?*
*(2) Were you involved in a motor accident?*
*(3) Are you aware or related to one Mr. Thomas Mick from your country?*
*Please reconfirm and answer the above questions because Mr. Thomas Mick
came to our foreign payment department and submitted an application that you
authorized your fund to be paid into the account of Union Bank of
Switzerland (UBS) with Account number UBS-A943BDG99 with a report that you
are now paralyzed as a result of the ghastly motor accident you had some
months back.*
*After processing the application of Mr Thomas Mick himself which he made
known to us that he came from you, he succeeded in getting some required
documents as to make sure that we effect this transfer as quickly as
possible without any further delay.
The delay in transferring the funds is due to the request for a power of
attorney authorizing him to pursue this payment on your behalf. He asked for
a week so as to submit the document, but up till now we have not received
any of the documents from any of you. Why? please forward us the power of
attorney by a return E-mail: so that we can ask Union Bank of Switzerland
(UBS) to effect your payment to his nominated Bank account on your behalf
without delay. Reply to my personal email address
