Subject: DEAR I WILL FORWARD TO YOU THE DETAILS OF UNITED KINGDOM BANK

My Dear,

I am pleased that you have read and completely understood my email, find attached copy of my working ID card for your reference only. I have nothing to gain if i jeopardize my image here .With a lot of funny things happening on the Internet these days because is difficult to find a trustworthy person now. My late father always told me you don't buy trust but you earn it. Please the secret of any success is secret take note of that since we has gone far.

Like i explained in my previous email, you will be required to open an offshore non-resident account with a foreign bank which i will direct you to .

Below are reasons i prefer you to open a new account from another bank ;

1, We need a bank that shares the same swift telex confirmation code with my bank; this will make it easy for me to transfer the $9.5 Million U.S.D from my branch directly to the account which will be opened in your names.
2, Funds transferred with the swift confirmation in and out of UAE usually takes a maximum of 6 hours to reach the receiving bank account.
3, Funds transferred to the Africa,United States, Canada and the entire Britain region are always seriously checked against terrorism funding and other suspicious acts. $9.5M U.S.D is not all amount that can be moved to your country without the government asking much questions.
4, The offshore bank will be able to receive huge volume without resistance according to the financial regulations of the bank. This will keep all parties on safe end.
5, As staffs of the Emirates Investment bank it is not advisable for us to use any of our existing accounts be it foreign or local because it will seem like we are transferring the funds to our-self.

This account will be set up in your names, once the account is ready and all documents from my office are in perfect place then i will effect a direct wire of the total amount (USD$ 9.5M) Nine millions Five Hundred Thousand United state Dollars into the account. Why We have decided to have the funds transferred to the United Kingdom bank is because the bank shares the same swift telex confirmation code with my bank.The transfer will be via swift system which is confirm-able in 6 hours.

I have contacted my legal attorney to handle this aspect on your behalf so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. i will furnish you with the details needed to finalize this transaction. The details will include the complete information of the bank i have proposed. Please note that your only financial obligation will be to open a non-resident offshore account with a bank in United Kingdom. I am not sure what it costs to open the account but i am sure its something you can handle, here in UAE Dubai it cost about 300 - 500 dollars to open a non resident account.

Please remember that this transaction must be strictly confidential. You will receive a deed of agreement prepared by my attorney which will clearly state our terms, percentage agreed and conditions.

I look forward to your positive response. Have a great day !!!
God bless you.
Ms Kartinie Thinie

My dear Handsome,
How are you today? I am so glad you accepted my friendship proposals by providing me with your personal Email contact, I like to be open to you because i wish to build a rigid relationship with you which i believe shall yield good fruit for both of us, i am a woman that have seen life, i have been in the social circle for many years, It really does not matter one's age or color or achievement, what matters in our life is nothing but Care and expression and mostly expression of the heart.

This is the most important thing in life, to me the most beautiful thing created by God is never seen, it's only felt in the heart which is love. I have been hardworking all my life till now, i must think of something better to enjoy my life and probably have a family or maybe relocate and start investing in other things anyway. i will like to tell you little about me, My name is Mrs Kartinie Thinie I am a Britannia. i lost my only daughter at child birth. Presently, Am working as a Senior Audit/banker in Al Rayan Bank Plc United Kingdom.

i was married but my Ex Husband out of impatience got married to another woman which caused our divorce, but it's okay because i have to move on with my life since he accused me of been so busy with my work in the bank and it's accounting/auditing, he says that i was not having time for him but he refused to understand that i was pursuing a goal, i tried to make him understand that soon i would resign and we shall have enough time for each other because i have a goal to achieve in life but he was impatient so i have to let him go, But it's over between us now, I am happy alone because I have everything i need, i have had it as a priority to give out 40% of my salaries to the less privileged and the Motherless babies and with all this, i have never lacked for ones this is why I think of relocating to your country to get into investment and maybe own a small company which i can be able to manage Enough for myself,

I would like you to tell me more about yourself too. I'll like to know you better, what you really do and your position in your work, your marital status and where you reside now
I love to hear from you soon
Mrs Kartinie Thinie
