My name is Chun Lee and i am your newly assigned Accounts Manager at Wang Shu Private Bank and will be taking over from Biyu Chen.
I have emailed you several times with my official email but it keeps bouncing back.
I am directed to inform you that we received two reports pertaining to your account with us, one was received two days ago and the other was received this morning.
The report stipulated that the Authority which placed a hold on your account has demanded that we release the account back to you for onward transfers but due to the first report received which exposes the nature of the bank by reporting our transit account as fraudulent, a move which has seen one of our agent arrested by the Police.
Due to this, the bank has decided to keep your account on hold pending deliberations to hold in the morning, after which your account status will be revealed. The management is holding a meeting and the conclusions will be communicated to you by tomorrow.
No action is to be taken by you so far until you read back from me tomorrow.
I will keep you posted.
Yours Sincerely,
Chun Lee

I cannot affirmatively confirm your involvement in the report or not as i am limited to information and act solely on instructions.
As a resolution from the management meeting held yesterday, the bank has resolved that the business relationship between you and the bank will be terminated. While the bank appreciates your willingness to bank with us, it has come to the decision that it will be best for both parties to end the banking relationship because of the sour sweet nature it has shown over the past few months.
Your account will be released back to you on Monday and all your funds will be available to transfer.
You are advised to transfer out all the funds within a maximum time of 48 hours after which the account will be permanently closed. If by the time 48 hours elapses and there are still funds available in your account, the funds will be lost so please try to transfer as soon as possible.
It is quite unfortunate that my relationship with you as your account manager is ending so soon, but be mindful that i will be able to offer assistance to you if need be.
I will notify you immediately your account is released on Monday or earlier.
Yours Sincerely,
Chun Lee

Dear,
I understand your concern and that is why i am trying everything possible to make sure that we stay within the confinements of the law, without having any issue at all.
I must tell you that the transaction is purely legal and your well being and security as well as mine is of utmost importance to me and you have nothing to worry about. Let me try again to explain the details of the transaction to you.
I am the manager in charge of investments which means every invested funds i am to make sure profits are generated on it for the bank as well as the respective owners. This particular funds has been dormant for the past 5 years in which it will be forfeited to the Treasury this year if no one lay claims to it. Knowing the act of banks, majority of the funds will never go to the government treasury, but the bank will find a way to pay a small quota to the treasury and sit on the rest. I was the one investing and managing the risk of the portfolio to ensure the growth of the investment and i was able to yield decent profits, losing the money i had worked for to the bank will be such a shame and i will receive no dime from it if i end up forfeiting it to the bank.
In short, i am the insider at the bank giving the Intel needed to clear out the total amount to you, and your is to receive the funds and by using a highly reputable attorney of the law to process all the legal documents needed to process the claim, we made sure we stay within the laws, thereby having a legal backup that you are the truthful partner of the deceased with a right to claim the dormant funds left behind by the deceased.
The use of the Wang Shu offshore account is to prevent us from complicating the transaction because of the local laws of your Country and to ensure that we stay within the confinements of the law as regards money transfer. I can transfer all the sum to your account with Wang Shu without any issue or authority interfering, so have nothing to worry about, and in-turn you can transfer the funds in bit to your account in Germany without fear of breaking any law. Therefore, the transaction is legal and you have nothing to worry about as regards the authority.
The fact that your Wang Shu account and your local account will have the same account name gives you an advantage when transferring to your local account. But still, it will be advice-able to not transfer more than the limit of 100,000 as stated in your country to be perfectly OKAY under the law.
It is not a good option for me to call you at this time until after the transaction is completed, because our communication networks here are being monitored and i do not want any link of myself to you in this transaction being that i am an insider in this situation and do not want to jeopardize my position.
Another good news is that the claim has been approved for onward processing and transfer. The auditor was able to collate the total amount plus interest and has been approved which means the only thing left for us to see the success of the transaction is the Wang Shu account.
Please find attached the approval note and please kindly keep it confidential.
Best Regards,
Alicia Decker
