RECOVERY OF DIVERTED ATM DEBIT CARD

I am contacting you to personally notify you of our discovery as well as get some facts from you. Recently we arrested a man named Francisco Zuela a Ghanian Citizen who works with D.H.L office in Lagos with an ATM CARD with your name on it as the beneficiary and the owner of the card. However the entire parcel containing the proof of claim ownership which is also in your name has so far been recovered from him.

After we arrested and interrogated him, he confessed as stated below. My name is Francisco Zuela, I work with the D.H.L office in Nigeria. February this year, I was approached by a lawyer asking me to divert a parcel containing an ATM DEBIT CARD belonging to you. I agreed and we collaborated to divert the card to another address in your country from where to be sure it confirmed entry into your country after which it was returned back to Nigeria to avoid any suspicion.

Later we wrote to the Issuing bank as the beneficiary and with the help of the collaborator, the risk and management department of the bank gave me the pin code of the card. Since then I have been making withdrawals with my collaborators until this week when the card was blocked by the bank that I should contact the issuing bank. I have made withdrawals of about USDUS86,800.00 within this period.

The above is the suspect's confession and we have contacted the card issuing bank who also told us that there was an initial complaint from the beneficiary though the identity of the mentioned person was not disclosed. They confirmed that there was an application from you to re-release the ATM Card Pin upon receipt which directly was sent to an email with your name but they are not aware that you have not received the card since you did not inform them hence the card was diverted.

We would like to hear from you immediately to enable us carry out action as well make arrangements for the ATM CARD $15.5million to be re-dispatched to you without any delay upon reconciliation with the issuing bank. From our secret investigation so far, we have confirmed that this suspect is in collaboration with some officials of the bank to divert this CARD without your knowledge which is confirmed in our Investigation. At this point, do not communicate with anyone to avoid leakage of information until we are able to arrest everyone involved.

Upon your response, we shall forward an official notification to the Director Internal Regulatory Department of your country Consulate here in Nigeria. And also you are to make a payment of $560 for us to get back your ATM CARD to you with insurance. We have to re-validate and insure the ATM CARD everything will cost $560 Get back to me with your phone number, your current house address and a copy of your Identification Card.

Waiting for your Immediate Response.

Attention

The deduction is proof and evidence that all obligations payments upfront charges/fees are deducted from the $5.5M and the balance fund will be programmed via ATM Card and delivered to your address without you paying any other charge.

The Court Stamp Duty is a legal authentication that you authorized the bank to deduct from your fund. The cost is 525$ this is the only fee that is required from you because we have to secure the Court Stamp Duty. The issuing bank will deduct their charges once the deduction clearance is sealed and bound by the court and delivery of the ATM Card will proceed to your address without additional costs/fees/charges. The Legal Department will proceed with the process once I receive it from you.Call or send a text message +2347040981759

Signed.
