Attention:Beneficiary,
Following the recent meeting held by the board members of this esteemed financial institution, the new Board of Directors of the world Bank, the Financial Adviser to the President, members of audit Committee on Foreign Payment and in conjunction with International Community delegates, international monetary fund {IMF}. We are very pleased to contact you due to a report reaching us regarding yourOUTSTANDING FUND Ten Million Four Hundred Thousand United States Dollars ($10.400.000.00 USD)only which has been long over due for payment but was made impossible by some corrupt officials.
In the course of our General Auditing and Account revision of this first quarter of 2018,we discovered that the Bank Accounts belonging to some Benefactors have been changed on the basis that the owners have died some time last year or have given out an authorization note of change of data. After the investigations however, it was revealed that there are Foreigners who are collaborating with retired staff to make these changes illegally without the knowledge of the Benefactors and one traced to your own change is this (Dr Robert Lister) who said you are dead, hence they have forwarded somedocuments/Death certificateso as to divert your fund. The bank account below was forwarded/presented byDr Robert Listeras the new account for receipt of the funds:
Bank: Hang Seng Bank
Bank Address: 83 Des Veoux Road,
Central – Hong Kong
Account Name: Robert Lister
Account Number: 235-325172-882
Bank Code: 024
Swift Code: HASEHKHH
In order confirm if actually this is true and hence decided to write to your email address which after 28 hours from now and there is no response, it will be ascertained that you are truly dead,then proceed with the telegraphic transfer.If proved otherwise by you to be alive?, please forward to us all the related Benefactors particulars including your Telephone numbers,contact address,these details from you will help reach a conclusion that you still alive.
Anything contrary to this claim will help us charge this man to court and prosecute him while your fund will be paid to you immediately without any further delay.
Thanks
Your truly,
Dr. Williams B. Yokovo.
