Attention Of: xxxxxxxx,

FURTHER REFERENCE IS GIVEN TO YOUR PAYMENT OF US$28,500,000.00

Good morning sir as we acknowledge your email. Your attorney (James Morris) called yesterday regards same content and we told him that in as much as the Certificate of Fund Ownership and Affidavit of claim in your name are yet to be submitted to this bank, we cant give final approval, therefore we cant issue any loan if your name.

Just have it in mind that we are working base on South Africa banking ideology and rules, i have to remind you also that the South Africa Department of Finance is aware of this transaction so we cant do anything without the Certificate of Fund Ownership and Affidavit of claim in your name as the beneficiary of the fund, but your fund will be wired into your designated account instantaneously the Certificate of Fund Ownership and Affidavit of claim in your name is presented to us.

Your prompt response to the above directive is highly imperative

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Cynthia Ngonmene
Audit and Claims Director,
HSBC bank, South Africa.

Once that is received today, you will send the balance tomorrow morning and you will have your certificates issued to you through Barrister James Morrris.

Good Day xxxxxx,

Sir, we got your email and you have to understand that we don't answer to you as we have no dealings with you, Your Barrister requested for a certain certificate in your name and we are working on it, is either you follow our instruction or you forget it, This is High Court and we cant give our our vital banking details over a small amount of money, normal, your attorney should have paid the money to our cashier and receipt will be issued for that but to make it easy for both of us, we shall furnish you with our agent account for payment as other;s always do and here is the details below:

Bank Name: BANK OF CHINA
Account Name: LUSI
Address: 34 LAM ROAD, HONG KONG CENTRAL, HONG KONG.
Account Number: 012 6111 021176 2.
Swift Code: B K C H - H K H H

The balance payment to b wired into this account is $5,455.00. If you send the money into this account, get back to us with the transfer confirmation slip. We are not been hard on you sir but the issue is that we tried this before and it took over 15 days before we get our money and since then, we stop giving account to anybody outside South Africa. We have agent everywhere in the world so send the money to that account. You are requesting from us and that is what we want you to do for us to grant your request.

Dear XxX,

I believe you have sent the death and deposit certificates to the bank as i told you in my previous email. Meanwhile, I managed to get the fund ownership certificate today which cost me over $7756 to get to this point. I am sending you the scan copy of the certificate and will submit it to the bank tomorrow morning as i got home late today from the certificate office.

The remaining affidavit of claim will cost $3,399 and right now, I only have $2,100. Please I will be needing your help as a partner to help with the balance of $1,299 to enable me get the remaining certificate for the facilitation of the transfer of our funds into your account. Please get back to me and let me know which easier way for you to send the money so i can provide you with the payment details.

Thanks.
James Morris Esq.
