Hi Phil,
       I got your mail but you did not enclose any ID of informations,
I am very unhappy about this.

Also you tell me to mail the bank saying that I am Mr William Hennessy
?? But I am Mr Steve Harley.

On your first mail you said his name was Mr Harley then on the last
one Mr Hennessy?? What one should I send to the bank???.

Now I expect better from you in future,this is not a very good start
is it considering you are a bank professional?.

So tell me what letter of the two to send and I also await your
ID,Full Name and address.

Subject:   Re: Atten: GINA ,Steve Harley ID

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your mail.Fill the form I wanted to make sure that
everything goes on fine today and at least we cover some part of this
transaction,the account of the deceased has been dormant for a while
and hence you will be required to open an account here with the bank
so that the funds can be transfered to you.


Why I asked for those details is that a new account will be opened
here so as to make the transfer easy because the account of the
deceased has been dormant for a long time and has been declared
unservicable.It has to start working again for the transfer to be made
possible, an account(DOMICILIARY   ACCOUNT ,DOLLAR BASED ACCOUNT)
will be open here in your name and then once the  money is transfered
into your new account, then you will have the power to instruct the
bank to transfer the funds to any account you nominate.

Please be informed as follows that the bank would not be held
responsible in any way whatsoever if you fail to meet up your own
part.Also the funds in the deceased account totals to the amount
$6,000,307.00 .

Please follow my instruction strictly so that this fund can get to you
without stress.Also be informed that I have also invited  the Account
Officer Mr Phillip Okose and he is already here helping us out.



The bank would charge you the following as necessary fees to be paid
,I shall be sending you the form for opening of new account,please
fill correctly and send to me immediately.

OPENING OF NEW DOLLAR ACCOUNT- $500 minimum Balance

HANDLING AND SERVICE CHARGE -$500
STAMP DUTIES-                $225
TOTAL                       $1,225

Please send this via western union immediately using the following
details of our cash officer.

Dear Gina,
          Thanks for your mail today.
Please forward the bank details and I will do an automatic transfer,It

bit confusing.Why ask for my details if I have to open an account?

Dear Sir,


I asked for all those information so as to enable me open the new
account that will be used by you and you alone ,since the former
account is dormant, and from that you will be able to tell the bank to
transfer the funds to any nominated account you want.

This is the details on how you should pay the money, send it via
Western Union through our cash officer.

Come on Gina,get off the weed and answer my question.............................................
To:   inter_remit1@financier.com
Subject:   Re: Atten: GINA

Hi Gina,
       Can you send me the details of your bank and website?.
I dont think sending cash by Western Union is a very good idea,as it
cant be traced after it has been paid,so may be cashed and not
recieved.

This is the 21st century,everything can be done electronicly as you
well know working in a bank.

Please forward your informations.

Be Blessed
Steve.

Lets mail our Lad Phil,see if he can give me an address as well.I like to get them to give me a few addresses then send payment to the wrong one....................................

Subject:   Re: Atten: GINA

Dear Mr Steve,

Sending money via bank to bank will take a long time but please note
that sending money that can be received easily is better for you
because of the time frame the bank has given me to conclude this
transaction with you.

As regards the safety of the transaction, not to worry it will be
taken care of,please follow my instructions so that we will be able to
have a smooth transaction, as regards the website, my bank is a small
bank and please bear in mind that you are dealing with an African bank
not like all those western banks.

It is our bank's procedure.

As soon as you send it via western union let me know immediately.

Regards

Mrs Gina
