Subject: Dear Sir/Madam,
Federal Bureau Of Investigation,
935 Pennsylvania Avenue,
NW, Washington, D.C. 20535-0001, USA.
Dear Sir/Madam,
The attention of the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been directed by our International Operations Division on your transaction with the National Bank of Belgium (NBB) concerning your over-due inheritance / contract payment. It might interest you to learn that we have fully analysed the transaction as stipulated by our Investigative Operational Guidelines and have confirmed that it is 100% genuine and hitch free, and of which you have the legitimate right to claim.
We recently had our spring meetings with the Governor of the National Bank of Belgium, Mr. Ronald J. Gidwitz and some top officials of the ministry in regard to the subject matter and we were led to understand that your payment file was held in abeyance pending when you personally apply for its claim. But the major challenges facing the Bank are (i). Some unscrupulous elements are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the Governor or an official of the National Bank of Belgium. (ii). A woman named Mrs. Linda Box, from New York submitted an application to NBB with a power of attorney and some official documents (allegedly signed by you) prior to the release of your Funds (US$8,000,000.00) to her due to your ill health.
In view of all these, we have been urged to warn beneficiaries who have received information pertaining to their outstanding inheritance / contract payment to be very careful, in order not to be a victim of circumstance. In case you are already dealing with someone from the National Bank of Belgium/Any Bank or whichever office, you are strictly advised to DESIST from further communication with that individual in your best interest, and thereby contact the real office of the National Bank of Belgium via the below information:
Name: Mr. Pierre Wunsch
Office Address: Boulevard De Berlaimont 14
1000 Brussels, Belgium
Email: [email protected]
NOTE: You should ignore any message that does not come from the above email address for security reasons. And to enable the National Bank of Belgium to process and release the fund to you, you are required to re-confirm your full details
such as:
Your full Name:
Contact Home Address:
Your Cell Phone Number:
Your Date of Birth:
Sex:
Country:
Ensure that you abide by the National Bank of Belgium due process in line with the International Banking Secrecy Act, to avoid any form of discrepancy, which may hinder your funds transfer.
Thanks for your understanding and cooperation as we earnestly await your urgent reply.
Best Regards.
Christopher A. Wray,
Federal Bureau of Investigation
