Attn:

This is to inform you that we have received a payment instruction from Mr. Chan Tak Kin, a Citizen of China demanding that we should transfer your funds to him, as you have given him the mandate and authorization for him to receive your funds interest. Note that he has given us a bank account in Hong-Kong, where we will transfer your funds to him without delay.

Bank of China (Hong Kong)

Account Name: Chan Tak Kin
Swift code: BKCHHKHHCLS
Routing number: 026003269
Account number: 012-879-6-034422-0

Please let us know if you have truly instructed and directed him to receive your funds in Hong-Kong.We have informed him to get an official Power of Authorization from you, before we will release the funds to him, which we are still waiting for. However, we want to inform you that you have within the next five (5) official working hours to get back to us on this notice with the required fee of $100 USD or we will release the funds to him.

Yours truly,

Expecting your urgent response.

Yours faithfully.
Mr. James E. Edward
The New Foreign Paymaster General,
World Bank Of West Africa Benin Republic
Email: infoworldbnkafricebj1@gmail.com
call me at this number once you receive this message. Tell : (+229)-57374303
The email was sent from the email address "Mr James E.Edward <markfrank0654@gmail.com>", with the Reply-to address "infoworldbnkafricebj1@gmail.com" and the subject "World Bank Of West Africa Benin Republic".

The email is a classic example of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam with promises of a large sum of money being transferred to the victim. Anyone responding to it will be told that there is a fee/tax/insurance payment to be paid to receive the money. This will be followed by payment after payment until the victim runs out of money or realises that they are being scammed.
