Director - UK National Central Bureau

Dear,

My name is Harold Sterling, director of Fund monitoring department UK National Central Bureau. I have been mandated by the Coalition of International Organizations against cyber crime and fraud to assist in identifying the owners of stolen funds recovered from offshore accounts of some top executive bank officials in Africa and here in London.

As you are aware, the global financial meltdown sparked up a new global approach to effectively monitor financial transaction globally. As a result of this, coupled with the series of cyber attacks from Asia, some financial irregularities have been spotted and are still be tracked. With the recent shake up within the African and European financial sector, some diverted funds belonging to foreign companies, contractors, and individuals were identified and some of these funds were recovered. This is the reason why I am contacting you because we have identified a transfer involving millions of dollars processed in your name but was latter diverted to some other accounts in Asia.

You are among the list of the victims of corrupt government officials and bank staffs in Europe and Africa. These corrupt individuals and institutions are being investigated and more than 5 CEO’s of some major banks are presently being prosecuted as a result of this theft and other fraudulent act. In Nigeria for instance, we have been able to assist the local police to put about 6 bank executives behind bars and we are now working closely with the government and some other International organizations to identify the true owners of these diverted funds. We have already worked out a process for the release of these diverted/stolen funds back to the original beneficiaries which includes you.

Most of the corrupt officials which include, lawyers, bank staffs, government officials, claim that they were given instructions by you to channel this fund to a different account for investment purpose and they claim that they are in partnership with you. We would like to know if you entered into an agreement with any official or representative to use your funds for investments. We strongly believe that this is not the true picture and you are only a victim, but we need to find out from you if you gave such authorization for the diversion of your funds. I need you to get back to me urgently if you never gave such authorization to have your funds transferred to someone else’s account in Asia. I want you to know that we were not able to recover all the funds but we recovered almost 90%. The total amount recovered is $9,345,000.00 (Nine Million Three Hundred and Forty Five Thousand United States Dollars Only) and it is presently being held in an escrow account at the European C
entral Bank (ECB).

You are therefore advised to treat as urgent by contacting to enable us commence on processing the release of this fund to your account without further delay.

Yours faithfully,

Harold Sterling
