Subject: Business proposal for you (COVID-19)!

Dear Friend,

I would like to seek your help in a business transaction; I am Mr Ralph Wigram, 58 years of age, I'm a British citizen. I worked with a bank as Supervisor of Bills and Foreign Exchange. Here in our bank there is an existing dormant account for the past 9 years which belong to a late customer (Gene Billings) who died on Egypt Air Flight 990. When I discovered that there had been no deposits or withdrawals from this account for this long period, I decided to carry out a system investigation and discovered that, none of his family member or relation is aware of this account.

Now, I want an account overseas where the bank will transfer these funds. Thereafter, I had planned to destroy all related documents for this account. It is a careful network and for the past eleven months, I have worked out everything to ensure a hitch-free operation. The amount is not so much at the moment and plus all the accumulated Interest the balance in this account stands at (US$10.7 MILLION).

If you can cooperate with me in this transfer, consider this and get back to me as soon as possible. Finally, it is my humble prayer that the information as contained herein been accorded the necessary attention.

PLEASE DROP YOUR FULL NAMES, CURRENT ADDRESS AND TELEPHONE NUMBER TO ENABLE ME CALL YOU.

Yours,

Mr Ralph Wigram"
