Dear Mr. Wuddah

I have received a reply from your bank asking me to fill out an “enclosed Wire Authorization Form” unfortunately no such form was enclosed. It would seem that your Mr. Gambah isn’t the only incompetent within your bank – are they all like that? I can see why you found it so easy to expropriate 3.5 million dollars!

I have written to them again requesting that they actually send the required form.

Kind Regards

Ethel Trellis (Mrs.)

Dear Mr. Aidoo

Thank you for your replies. I had high hopes that perhaps the “Enclosed Wire Authorization Form” might be enclosed in your second email but alas, it was just a copy of the first.

This is hardly the sort of behaviour one expects from a reputable bank, if I wasn’t already doing so I’d be tempted to take my money elsewhere.

Please forward the Wire Authorization Form to me at your earliest convenience.

Kind Regards

Ethel Trellis (Mrs.)

Dear Sir,

Three years ago I placed a sum of money on deposit with your bank. This was to have funded the start up costs of a high-tec whelk processing plant. Unfortunately, due to the worldwide slump in whelk prices and my husband Chester’s unfortunate incident with the hot-air balloon, I have had to abandon these plans and now require the funds for an investment opportunity in Paraguay.

I would therefore be most grateful if you could arrange to transfer the sum detailed on the attached deposit voucher, together with the accrued interest, to the following bank account:

Bank : The Bank of Bangor
Sort Code 652309
Account Number: 723319854

I look forward to your cooperation in this matter,

Yours Sincerely

Ethel Trellis (Mrs.)

Dear Mr. Wuddah

Fear not, I have the matter in hand. I find that it is best not to rush these things.

I would have had it completed by now if not for a previous engagement by way of a trip to Newcastle on Friday to see the 70’s progressive rock band “Yes”. The tour has gone ahead without the lead singer, Mr. Jon Anderson, who had suffered from a respiratory illness and been replaced by a Mr. Benoit David, who used to sing in a “Yes” tribute band called “Close to the Edge”. It really was a very strange experience Mr. Wuddah, Mr. David sounds very much like Mr. Anderson and even copies his mannerisms. The keyboard player was a Mr. Oliver Wakeman, the son of the famous keyboardist Mr. Rick Wakeman. Despite a shaky start it was certainly worth the long trip from North Wales, indeed the encore of all three sections of “Starship Trooper” was worth the trip alone.

My husband Chester was unfortunately unable to accompany me, I will just have to accept that, though he has physically recovered from the hot air balloon incident, he is unlikely to ever be fully himself again. Still, we all have our crosses to bear Mr. Wuddah, and in the grand scheme of things I don’t suppose that Chester’s little “foibles” are anything to worry about. Or so I told PC Morgan last time Chester was actually caught, his case doesn’t come up until next January, so we’ll just have to wait and see.

But I digress.

I shall complete the application tomorrow and send you a copy.

Kind Regards

Ethel Trellis (Mrs.)

further instructions

Dear Mrs. Ethel Trellis,

I have now secured your name /details on our bank’s database as the holder of the Non-Investment Acct housing the US$ 3,500,000.00. I do need re-iterate that with your names duly configured on the account, you become practically a customer of our bank. When you therefore apply to my Head Office for Closure of the account/transfer of the funds to your designated bank account in United Kingdom, the scenario would wear the context of a customer who banks with a foreign bank and decides to close such account and evoke the proceeds to a bank account of his choice.

In the attached files, you will find a copy of the account voucher showing you as the account holder /funds beneficiary.  You would note on the voucher that the account creation has been backdated to show that it has existed before now.

Also enclosed below is an APPLICATION TEXT requesting CLOSURE OF THE ACCOUNT/TRANSFER OF THE FUNDS to your designated bank account. Kindly retype it on your company letterhead or plain letterhead, insert your designated bank account and your physical address as itemized on the application text, and email it to the International Banking Department of my Head Office.
Once the Application is received, the transfer would be processed within 72hours.

Once again, remember you need to bear in mind at all time that you are a foreign Customer of our Bank who now wants his funds transferred to him abroad. Please let me know when you have transmitted the application and call me for a verbal discussion.

Also I want you to send me your telephone number so that I will be calling you when necessary.

Regards,
Mr. Frank Wuddah,
