Very similar to the one above. Accompanied by pictures stolen from web sites which have nothing whatsoever to do with the scam. The two imaginary men storming the office are a common invention to panic people into thinking someone else may be after 'their fund'

The attached picture was taken in my office where I was serving verification documents to the White men Mr. Gabriel Evans and Mr. Alan Mills who stormed my office with the bank official of the Black Gentleman (on white African attire).

The black man Mr. Fred Johnson claimed to be your representative and the supervisory Engineer that supervised and certified your money execution that was shifted from the previous Paying Institute to the because of their inability to have paid it at the agreed time.

They said that you were dead and before your death, you appointed them as the next of kin to your inherited fund presently under our custody.

These two white men and the black man quickly applied that your inherited fund presented to them at the spot.

The Official responsible for the presentation of the FUND valued $2,700,000.00 quickly granted approvals to their application and made an arrangement for them to transfer it to their account, When the Central Bank Debit Note submitted to my desk for final Approvals before forwarding it to them for endorsement, as an attorney I noticed that there are discrepancies as there was no evidence of authorization letter from you for the change of beneficiary.

I urgently summoned The Official responsible for the transfer of the fund and directed him to stop the movement of the Transfer of the FUND and at the same time placed a stop order instruction on the funds pending when your views and comments are receive about this matter.
