To whom it may concern
This letter was written a few minutes ago by western union branch in Las Vegas
Nevada in conjunction with bank of America (BOA). Your money transfer of
$5,000.00 paid to Ofa Ki-Malaelahi Latu in Sydney Australia was successfully
sent out via western union to the receiver's destination. The Money Transfer
Control Number(MTCN) needs authorization from western union here in the United
States before the $5,000 can be available for pick up at western union
Australia.
As soon as the authorization is done by the sender and also the Australia
western union then you can be able to track your transfer from Las Vegas to
Sydney – you’ll be notified when it arrives, Availability of Service and
funds depends on selected Service conditions including amount sent, destination
country, currency availability, regulatory issues, identification requirements
and location hours. Funds may be delayed or services unavailable based on
certain transaction conditions, including amount sent, destination, country,
currency availability, regulatory issues, identification requirements, Agent
location hours, differences in time zones, or selection of delayed options.
Before you wire money overseas from the US to another country like Canada, or
receive money via an international western union transfer, it’s handy to know
the rules and regulations. You wouldn’t want to disappoint friends or family
if something went wrong or face a fee you hadn’t expected. International wire
transfers involve the electronic transfer of funds between two people in
different countries. This is done through a network administered by banks,
agencies and Internal Board Revenue (IRS)
To make an overseas wire transfer, you need to be aware that there are a number
of security checks, documents, and potential limits on how much you can send to
factor into sending funds abroad . So the western union is requesting a fee of
$450 so that all areas of about sending via western union can be cleared and
the $5,000 will be available at any store in Australia .Banks and providers of
money transfer services are required by law to comply with strict rules
designed to stop criminal activity, such as:
Fraud
Money laundering
Funding illegal activities.
Non-disclosure of accounts overseas may result in an investigation by the IRS,
an audit of tax returns or even a criminal investigation that's the reason the
$450 is needed to sort everything out so the $5,000 can be available for pick
up at any WU location.
