We have instructed the part payment for USD2.5 Million to be wired into your bank account today out of your total contract sum pending. This instruction has already been forwarded to Barclays Bank of NY.The Bank is presently waiting to have this instruction perfected today. This is a follow up to series of diversionary information that you are been fed with by some Nigerian officials, which they did not avert your mind to the fact of having your SOURCE OF FUNDS CERTIFICATE procured. After series of meetings and reconciliation’s here in the Bank, and having discovered the damage this discrepancy had caused to you and our Bank we now directed the funds to be transferred to you with no cost as we have done so far. That is why the funds are presently with Barclays Bank. To this end Barclays is finding it difficult to wire to you, as there was no attached account information for creditation finally to you. Based on this, I want you to immediately forward the following
information for revalidation to us and also copy Barclays Bank via email to: info@barclaysbankny.com

You may need to call me as soon as you send the information so that I will inform you when the credit will hit your account from Barclays Bank today. Please note, that for the USD2.5M you will need to forward the sum of USD2, 500 representing 0.1% for the total sum. You can still pay whatever you have as that will determine the volume that will be transferred by Barclays Bank.
