FILE APPROVED NO: TSB/FMF11/AHD9US/2019
SUBJECT: RE-APPROVAL OF YOUR ABANDONED FUND IN TOTAL SUM OF US$12.7MILLION.
My Name Is Mr. Robert J. DiBella, The President & CEO of The Savings Bank (TSB). On assumption, I saw a file in respect of your Fund amounting the sum of US$12.7 Million United Stated Dollars. After going through the file i discovered that you abandoned your fund here in the process of transfer to your bank account due to demands from banks and other financial institution here. I write to know the reason why you choose to abandon your fund here because it is my first point of action to offset every payment that is pending in the TSB transfer statutory disc.
I assure you that the TSB and the U.S Goverment will look into your matter properly and process your fund transfer to you as soon as you indicate your interest in receiving your approved fund.
Get back to us immediately so that I can know how to look into your matter urgently and make sure you receive your fund immediately without any delay.
Thanks.
