As a matter of urgency, in order not to waste more of your time before you start receiving your funds, Please be informed that you will need to activate your full transaction for the sum of $267 USD. The activation is necessary for the endorsement, validation and legalization of your transaction.
The activation fee for your first transaction must be paid, before you can pick up the above listed transaction. And to this effect, our Head of Transfer Department instructed us to stop the transfer of the first $7, 600 USD, to avoid problems with the International Monetary Fund and the Bank Negara Malaysia. Owing to the reasons reiterated above, you cannot pick up your first daily installment of $7, 600 USD.
But not to worry much, you will start receiving your daily installment of $7, 600 USD, after confirmation of your payment of $267.00 USD for your activation fee, and after that your first installment will be released to you 6 - 10 hours after your payment for your activation is confirmed.
When you are ready, we will provide you with the payment details to have the fee of $267.00 USD paid for to us for your activation. You will be required to email us or give us a call to get details needed to make the payment for your activation. Please be advised that you will need to activate your transaction at the soonest, so as to avoid forfeiture.
We await a confirmation from you, informing us when you want to settle your activation fee needed, so you can start receiving your installment payment from today.
Yours truly,
Dr. Lee Yung
