Attn: Miss.Sh.Reena Ahamed.
This is to notify you that we have received a sum of $8.5 million US dollars from Standard Chartered Bank London to be transfer to your Local Bank here in india ,we are now with all the document but due to IMF ( Internation Monitory Fund Approval Certificate )which is still pending that is why we here cannot proceed further with the process of the said amount to be transfer to your private bank account until you make the said required payment from Imf office and the amount for the said IMF approval certificate is Rs 24,780 inr.
The reason why the said certificate is mandatory to be using in our country is because of lot of black money cases that is happening in India since over 7years back because a lot of people are sending money out of country that is why India government mandated that any amount above 1 crore must have an approval from IMF before sending it from India to another country or vice versa.
It is mandatory that the beneficiary must have the said IMF approval certificate before RBI will proceed with the transfer of the said inheritance fund. Michael Nelson request us to send you more explanation to your email as he notify us that you may not understand it very well via phone
We here are waiting to have an update from your side if you need to make the payment today, and after the payment is done, the transfer of the total amount will only take 45 munites hours to be reflect into your bank account immediately you make the required payment, Note. inform us as soon as you need to make the payment so that we will direct you on how to make the payment and assist Michael to obtain the document today its self since he is foreigner here and according to him he dont have money to proceed further with the government requirement.
Urgent Response needed immediately.
Thank you.
