SHARE, WHEN THE MONEY HIT YOUR ACCOUNT.

Dear Ben
I
can't send the fax because it's totally illegible. I thought that by signing up
through the bank's website completed the process so I don't know what other
information they could need.

the bank)
I didn't realise that the US government had this
legislation in force.
I do, however, have a solution to the problem.
You have the millions of dollars which are awaiting transfer into my
account. Transfer $7500 of these millions into the account to activate it
and, once this has been done, then transfer the balance.
In this way you will not have to report the large transfer as the account
will already have been set up.
Sincerely
J Master
17 April 2003
Att:Sir,
That has been taken care of. you can check your balances on-line using oue
E-BANK menu.
Please note that the funds in your account will only be (activated)- made ready
to pay out to you when once you activate your account with teh initial deposit.
We are unable to take this out of your funds because until the initial deposit
of $US7500 , your funds remain bonded.
You can make this payment via MONEYTRANSFERS by WESTERN UNION through our
accountants You may requset for our Bank account also if you choose.
Fax a copy of the payment slip to us for your records .
Sincerely.
Susan Richards,Dr
