Attn. Beneficiary,
I wish to bring to your notice that your approved funds of Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars has been programmed for release/transfer but could not be transferred because we received application from one Mr.Peter Zhivkov Gochev who stated in his application that he is your partner and your subsidiary firm based in Bulgaria has requested that we should transfer your fund to the account below which according to him is your new account information as contained in his application.
We wish to seek for your confirmation first to enable us carry out the instructions which Peter Zhivkov Gochev gave to us, according to his application both of you have agreed to receive the fund with the new account but our concern is the account name is in his own name and not yours, if you are in agreement with him you should as a matter of urgency send a power of authority advising us to effect the transfer Peter Zhivkov Gochevhas paid all outstanding fees attracted in your file, we deem it necessary to seek for your permission in writing before the transferring the fund to the account of Mr. Peter Zhivkov Gochev, See the new account details below.
