Subject: Urgent Response Is Needed?
Good day,
I have been mandated by European union African office to effect outstanding payments with an initial. I have received notification and instructions from your principle .
I am obliged to make the transfer of your funds to you via ATM CARD.
Due to the stringent financial policy and monetary regulation/reform introduced by the Bank for the first quarter of this fiscal year 2020 and the huge costs involved in direct wire transfer of the fund from the apex bank, it becomes expedient that we formulate a more workable means of remitting the fund into any designated account to be nominated by you.
RESPECTFULLY
I will apply for the funds to be packed into the electronic banking system and paid by Automated Payment Systems (CHAPS ///ATM for 500,000 united states dollars.
An automated teller machine (ATM) is an electronic banking outlet,which allows customers to complete basic transactions without the aid of a branch representative or teller.
I will make proper arrangements for the ATM Card to be sent to you in the next few days.
Do reconfirm to me.
1.your full names and full address
2.your direct phone number to enable me reach you at all times
RESPECTFULLY
JOHNSON WILLIAMS
