COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN PAYMENT RESOLUTION PANEL ON WITHHELD PAYMENTS
After reviewing your online email communication messages on your unsuccessful transactions with
most European and other foreign banks in Africa, we wish to let you know that we have communicated
with most of these foreign banks that withheld most international payments to individual accounts
so as to find out why these funds were withheld and the source of the funds.
Conclusively, we discovered that most of these withheld and/or unpaid funds being remitted to
individual accounts abroad originated from lottery organizations, international trading companies
and deceased personals/contracts.
Such transfer suspension was placed on these funds because majority of these international fund
remittance/transfer of over the total sum of $500,000 and above to private individuals account
abroad, usually carried out by foreign Banks, Private or Commercial Courier Companies were never
properly recorded by the paying institution for future file reference/assessment by Crime
Monitoring Units/Agencies.
In joint alliance with the HMRC Treasury Europe, the European Financial Service Commission & the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) to resolve this issue, we wish to let you know that we have
approved to release only the total sum of Seven Million United States Dollars ($7,000,000.00 USD)
to enable you start up your own business.
Through the assistance of the International Criminal Police Organization (ICPO) to investigate and
release suspended, withheld and/or unpaid Inheritance/Award Winning/Contract funds to its
beneficiaries account abroad, we were able to gain an approval authorization letter from the
International Monetary Fund (IMF) which stated that these funds will be released by these European
and other foreign banks to its beneficiary on proper confirmation of its claim.
By the virtue of the provision of the law which confer on us powers to advocate, adjudicate suspend
and authorize an immediate transfer of your funds internationally, we hereby state emphatically and
without prejudice that should there be any information that may succeed your application for fund
release that are currently deposited in most European and other foreign banks, please do not
hesitate to provide us the information so that we will know how to help you receive your funds.

scanned copy of your international passport or drivers license so that we will forward it for
verification and payment.
