Good day,
I am pleased to inform you that we have received instructions to make a payment of 2,400,000 USD to you. This is in line with the Last Will and Testament of Mr. Robert Johnson whom worked with us as a 'Mining Consultant' for the past 17 years. He died in after an accident at one of our mining sites. The afore-mentioned amount is the total gratuity fund to be paid to Mr.Johnson upon retirement. His attorney provided your email address as the only contact information left by the deceased through which we can get in touch with you; but that is not enough to confirm your identity.
After series of meetings, we have finally arrived at a decision to pay the afore-mentioned sum to you pending proper verification and documentation from his attorney. Therefore you are expected to contact his attorney, Barrister Patrick Bello to start your verification process to enable us release the money to you. His contact information is as follows:
Name:: Barrister Patrick Bello
email:: barr.patbello@yahoo.com
Furthermore, after the first email which I sent to you 2 weeks ago, a man whose name is Mr. Moses Edward contacted us last week claiming that he is working under your instructions and authority. He also provided the following information for payment of the money.
BANK NAME: Habib Bank AG Zurich
ACCT. NAME: Moses Edward
ACCT. NUMBER: 70221920
Please confirm if Mr. Moses is acting under your authority and that you approved that your money be paid into the above Bank account in Germany.
I expect to hear from you soon. Thank you.
Simon Brown
Chief Accountant,
Shell, West-Africa
