ATTENTION MY DEAR
This is to report to you that our western union bureau have received a
correspondence from the federal high court as cancellation notice for
your funds transfer to be deleted from foreign payment file .
The western union management desires to inform you that your funds
transfer with us has been programmed among the TOW transactions that
would face cancellation soon.
We have waited long time enough for you to fulfill the required
obligations and claim the funds like other beneficiaries that have
claimed their funds before (this month ending ) but nothing comes up
from you as indication from the funds owner.
the management of this western union held an urgent meeting in my
office today, regards to the transferring of your funds by western
union and they have asked my office to submit all the paper works and
files containing your funds confidentiality but i refused and asked
the board members to give me from now till 2days time so that i
consult you personally for you to declare your interest on the funds
transfer.
Further more, you are advised to reply to this email after reading,
and feel free to tell us why you abandoned such huge amount here. let
us know if you are no longer interested to complete your transaction.
Finally, if you still have the interest of being paid your funds by
western union money transfer; you should kindly forward your
receiver’s name and address including your phone number immediately
i am looking forward to your positive cooperation fairly soon.
Best regards.
