Dear Beloved Foreigner ,
Greetings in the name of the Lord.
My name is Pastor Churchill Harrison,A banker by profession .i am head Pastor of God's Assembly Ministries and i bring to you a life changing news which i consider very confidential.
i was recently appointed a regional manager to (Union Bank PLC) one of the leading Banks here in Africa .
I am contacting you in regards to my deceased congregant who was also a reputable customer to the bank i manage regionally.
I seek for your recognition to enable me prepare a letter of claim and power of attorney indicating you as the n e x t o f k i n to my late customer that has the same surname with you.
While my congregant/customer was alive , i operated/managed and guided him on the operation of the account which he deposited a huge sum of money but unfortunately he was diagnosed of a life threatening illness ( Cancer of the blood ) which took his life afterwards , May his soul continue to Rest In Peace .
I have tried to locate any of his relative for the claim of Eight Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars deposited in our bank, but all proves abortive.
I have the entire deposit requirement that was properly handed over to me which i will submit to the bank for approval once i have your consent.
Are you in anyway related to him ?
But even if you are not in anyway related to him ,please and please ,i wish to seek your assistance for the transfer of his depository which he entrusted to me as his pastor and Father in the Lord before the money get confiscated and wired to the federal government reserve account as unclaimed funds .
Note
This fund belongs to a foreigner and can only be claimed by a foreigner according to our banking ethic.This why i need your assistance because i have lived all my life in Africa and never traveled abroad.
Every documentation concerning this transaction will be legally attested to.I assure this transaction is risk free and success guaranteed .
The quotient of sharing will be agreed between both of us. I expect an immediate response to enable us discuss further and expedite action in this transaction.
God bless
Thanks.
Pastor Churchill Harrison
I have received emails from Pastor ChurchHill Harrison in regards to an inheritance of $8.5 Million is this a scam because he says all the paperwork is legitimate and in order for me
We are unable to provide individual advice apart from suggesting you seek advice from a local financial advisor. We can say the Email above is from a scammer – note that although they seem to be claiming my name matches their beneficiary, they avoid addressing me in person. It is a generic email sent to thousands of people hoping for to fool someone. They would play along for a week or two, pretending to be organising the transfer of money, but eventually they would need you to pay some money for “legal fees” or some other expense. That is how they get your money and you lose.
