Dear: Esteem Customer
It has come to the attention of the Federal Reserve Bank New York,
that an Approval Payment Letter was submitted to my desk this morning
for review by the Federal Bureau of Investigation ( FBI), in respect
of the Contract / Investment Fund that was deposited by Swiss National
Bank (SNB), in your name.
The total sum deposited in your name, by the bank mentioned above is
summed up to $51,000,000.00 (Fifty One Million United States Dollar)
It is my duty to verify your information and also ensure that the said
amount is immediately allocated for payment.
Basically, there are 3 (3) options for you to get your Payment
transferred to you.
These options include 1. Online Bank Account Opening 2. ATM Card
Payment, (3) Certified Bank Cheque.
Nevertheless, you are advised to obtain a “CROSS-BORDER PAYMENT
APPROVAL” which is needed for the clearance of the fund from our
Global Automated Clearing House (ACH). This Agreement is used to
document transactions between parties located in different
jurisdictions and/or transactions involving different currencies.
You are to make your preferred choice by making a selection from the
(3) options above.
Kindly furnish us with your personal details needed for the funds
processing.
1. Your full name & Address
2. Contact Phone / Fax Number
3. Current Occupation
4. Marital Status
5. Age
6. Marital Status
7. A scan copy of your Identification such as International Passport /
Driver’s License.
Meanwhile, before commencement of your funds release,we would need
to secure the “CROSS-BORDER PAYMENT APPROVAL” from the office of the
Financial Action Task Force (FATF). This Paper works will enable us to
clear the funds from our Global Automated Clearing House (ACH), and
also back you up from any form of interrogation from the law. As soon
as this document is obtained a soft copy will be faxed to the ABACUS
FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK for your final payment release because the funds
will be paid to you in full from the above-mentioned bank.
In anticipating for your urgent cooperation
Yours sincerely,
Jerome H. Powell
Chairperson
