Bank of America Corporate Headquarters 100 North Tryon St, Charlotte, NC 28255 FINAL NOTIFICATION FROM BANK OF AMERICA
This message is to officially inform
you that we received a telegraphic wire transfer of $510,090.00 (plus accumulated interest) from the United States government disbursement account as your compensatory grant for the current economic hardship.
Please be aware that this compensatory grant has been deposited into an escrow account at the escrow office in Texas and is available for remittance immediately.
The standard payment procedure is as follows:- The funds will be wired into any bank account of your choice by Bank of America and the time frame for delivery is 24-48 hours.
It is mandatory that you activate the escrow account by making a subsidized one-time payment of $450.00
via the western union money transfer or money gram to enable the wire transfer function of the escrow account.
PLEASE NOTE: The escrow account activation fee of $450.00 could not be deducted from your funds as your funds are protected by a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT PREMIUM HARDCOVER-INSURANCE POLICY installed to prevent any deductions from your funds by financial institutions until remitted by you.
Hence, the fee must be paid by you via the western union money transfer network or money gram to the payment secretary at the Escrow Office in Texas.
CONTACT THE PAYMENT SECRETARY IN TEXAS TO RETRIEVE THE INFORMATION ON HOW TO PAY THE ACTIVATION FEE AND TO COMPLETE THIS TRANSACTION IMMEDIATELY:
PAYMENT SECRETARY: David Dupont CONTACT E-MAIL: davidupont12@sify.com
UPON CONFIRMATION OF PAYMENT OF THE ACTIVATION FEE, YOU WILL BE SENT A FORM TO COMPLETE AND YOUR FUNDS WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO YOUR PREFERRED PERSONAL BANK
ACCOUNT.
This transaction can only be completed through the payment secretary.
This notification is for information purposes only.
Please do not reply to this message.
Sincerely,
