Subject: IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD.
—
INTERNAL REVENUE/FUNDS DEPARTMENT
LONDON COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT
(RESOLUTIONPANEL ON CONTRACT PAYMENT)
LONDON
FILE CODE #: ATM/LAG/UK.
ATTN: BENEFICIARY,
IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR INHERITANCE FUND VIA ATM SWIFT CARD.
In close consultation with the World Bank, IMF and the European Union
(EU), this is to notify you of your enlistment as a beneficiary of a
recent Debt Management and Settlement Forum organized on the status of
global arrangement to have your beneficiary fund settled once and for
all.
Of course, In the hope that you must have been aware of the
past financial leakages in the European foreign inheritance payment
system, and frustrations associated there from in your last attempt to
claim the fund,wherein fund beneficiaries (like your self) was subjected
to unnecessary
bureaucratic bottlenecks in lieu of claiming funds due them.
The World Body, having solicited and received the cooperation of South
Africa Government,in harmonizing the sequence of payments, have
discovered
from records of outstanding foreign inheritance fund beneficiaries due
them,that yourname and payment has been with held and remain unpaid as a
result of such bottleneck. On the prompting of this finding, I wish to
officially notify you that all aspects of your payment claim is being
harmonized,enabling payment to be released to you as urgently as you act
on theinstructions of this mail.
Consequently, HSBC bank LONDON has been directed by the World Body
to off set these outstanding debts, using ATM Swift Card payment
arrangement.
Already, a total amount of US$500 Million has been provided to the bank
for this purpose and it is on first come first serve. With this
arrangement, I wish to inform you that HSBC bank LONDON has been
instructed to issue in your name an ATM Cash Card with the valued amount
of Five Million United States of American Dollars(US$5M).In paying this
amount to you, please note that it is without Prejudice to your original
inheritance sum. Rather, it is a stop-gap
payment arrangement put in place by the World Body to on the one hand
ensure that you receive part of your fund, while on the other hand
ensure
that the process is smooth and without any form of stress
whatsoever,whereas a comprehensive arrangement shall be made in future
to
pay off the remaining fund due you.
However, we are worried with the counter information received from one
Mr.Jack Law, purporting to be from your directive, with express
instruction to activate the ATM Cash Card for release of fund to his
name
a bank account in the "Cayman Islands" Obviously, we are hesitant to
honor
this instruction as it were, and would request that you clarify same
upon
your contact with HSBC bank LONDON. In addition to that, you should
provide the bank with the following details to forestall any mistake of
issuing the ATM Card with the wrong information already submitted by
Mr. Jack Law:
1. Full name for confirmation;……..
2. Phone and fax number;
3. Home Address;…………………
4.. Country of Origin;……………
5. Your age and occupation;………
6. Attach copy of your identification;………
7. Beneficiary name for activation of your ATM CARD;……..
.
Believing that this arrangement will suit your condition and
expectations,
we will therefore request for your expedited response to avoid any more
delay.
Your response should be directed to HSBC bank LONDON ,
Attention: MR.JACK WALKER; Director Atm Payment Dept through his
official
Email address: [email protected]
Your file reference code for your payment is ATM/LAG/SA and
should be quoted in your contact mail to the bank otherwise the bank
will
not recognize/process your ATM Swift Payment.
