Subject: REPLY URGENT I AM WAITING TO HEAR FROM YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
DEAR ,
MY NAME IS MR.JOHN WALKER OF TELEX/COMPUTER DEPARTMENT OF THE AFRI
BANK, PORT HARCOURT – NIGERIA. I AM SENDING THIS PRIVATE EMAIL BASED
ON THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF THE TRANSACTION. PLEASE, I WILL LIKE TO
ADVISE; IF AFTER GOING THROUGH MY PROPOSAL AND YOU DO NOT ACCEPT IT,
KINDLY KEEP IT TO YOURSELF.
AS OF THIS MOMENT, I AM STILL IN SERVICE WITH THE AB NIGERIA. AND I
WILL NOT BY ANY MEANS LIKE TO LOSE MY JOB, SO IF YOU ARE NOT
INTERESTED, KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF. I HAVE PUT IN OVER 23 YEARS IN THIS
BANK BUT I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SHOW FOR IT. THIS IS JUST MY
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE SURE THAT I GIVE MY CHILDREN A DECENT TRAINING
SINCE MY GOVT WHICH IS CORRUPT HAS REFUSED TO TAKE CARE OF ITS
RESPONSIBILITY. INFANT I AM SICK AND TIRED OF EVERYTHING HERE AND I
NEED TO GET OUT.
I FOUND OUT THAT YOU ALMOST MET ALL THE STATUTORY REQUIREMENTS IN
RESPECT OF YOUR PAYMENT. PLEASE BE EQUALLY ADVISED THAT NO SECURITY
COMPANY IN AFRICA CAN HANDLE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT/INHERITANCE FUND
WITH ANY BANK WITHOUT THE INSTRUCTIONS OF THE AFI BANK, NIGERIA.
YOUR PROBLEM IS THAT OF INTEREST GROUP IN THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF
FINANCE THAT IS SUPPOSED TO ORDER TRANSFER OF YOUR FUND WITH THE
APPROVAL OF THE AB. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE INTERESTED IN YOUR PAYMENT AND
THAT EXPLAINS WHY YOU RECEIVE EMAILS AND PHONE CALLS FROM DIFFERENT
PEOPLE EVERYDAY, THEIR WHOLE GAME PLAN IS TO FRUSTRATE YOU; IN-ORDER
FOR YOU TO ABANDON THE PAYMENT AND THEN, THEY WILL BE COMFORTABLE AND
BE FREE ENOUGH TO TRANSFER THE FUNDS INTO THEIR OVERSEAS ACCOUNT.
THEIR AIM AND TARGET IS NOT THE MONEY YOU ARE GIVING THEM BUT TO
FRUSTRATE YOU, HENCE, YOU HAVE LOST TRUST ON WHOM TO BELIEVE TO BE
GENUINE.
FINALLY, YOU WILL HAVE TO ACCEPT TO KEEP THIS TRANSACTION STRICTLY
CONFIDENTIAL IF YOU ACCEPT MY PROPOSAL, KINDLY GET BACK TO ME
IMMEDIATELY ON MY PRIVATE MAIL ADDRESS ([email protected]) AND
CONFIRM YOUR PARTICULARS ON REPLY.
REGARDS,
MR.JOHN WALKER
