- RE: INSTRUCTIONS TO CREDIT YOUR BANK ACCOUNT WITH US$6,800,000.00.We at this bank wish to congratulate and inform you that after thorough review of your funds transfer schedule in conjunction with the World Bank’s and the International Monetary Funds assessment report, your payment file was forwarded to us for immediate transfer of a part-payment of US$6,800,000.00 to your designated bank account from their offshore account with us.The Auditor's reports forwarded to us shows that you have been going through hard times in the past, by paying a lot of money to see to the release of your outstanding funds, which has been delayed by some dubious officials.We therefore advice that you stop further communication with any correspondence outside this office till we transfer the funds into your bank account since you do not have to pay any money or transfer charges to receive your funds as you have met up with the whole funds transfer requirements.The only thing required from you is to obtain the Non-Residential Clearance Form to enable us credit your account directly by telegraphic transfer or through any of our corresponding banks and send copies of our bank's telex and funds transfer documents to you and your bankers for confirmation.Should you follow our directives, your funds will be credited and confirm in your bank account within five (5) working days from the day you obtain this Non-Residential Clearance Form.For further details and assistance on this Transfer Notice, kindly forward your CONTACT ADDRESS, TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS directly to my Private E-mail: for confidentiality of its contents.Yours sincerely, Mr.Jefferson Norman.Global Banking Division, Barclays Bank.

Important Notes :-

1. Whatever you do, do not respond to any e-mail like this. If you have given bank details to any fraudster like this, then inform your bank immediately and also make sure that you close the account.

2. If the e-mail mentions a well known e-mail address such as from gmail.com, live.com, yahoo.com etc., then why not forward the offending e-mail to abuse@gmail.com, abuse@live.com etc. Hopefully, they'll remove the e-mail address, which will stop people being sucked in.
