Dear Friend,
I am Prof. Charles Soludo, the Executive Governor Central Bank Of Nigeria.
In the course of discharging some funds owners files who fail to complete
our requirements,After going through some old files ,I found out that one of
the Foreign Contractor who died some time ago has an account that what $US
3,500,000.USD with us, I made several attempts to locate his other family
members or relations which proves abortive as was not contained in his
account information with us.I thought wisely to transfer this money out now,
because the top remittance directors of this bank is prepared to move the
said fund into federal government reserved account since its ethics has a
stipulated years for such debt after which the debt will be deleted from
Central Bank record and will be termed as Bad Debt which will be shared
among Nigeria Top management which i am not included.
This is why i am contacting you to assist me safeguard this Fund in your
account. I would have executed this deal without contacting you but due to
our country civil service code which prohibits us from operating foreign
accounts and also the fund will only be released to a foreigner as the next
of kin to the Deceased Foreign contractor.
As an account owner for this transfer,You will be entittled to 30% of the
total fund,15% will be used to set up humanitarian organisations to be
managed by both of us in your country to help needy,motherless babies and
other less priviledged people including donation to the recent Tsunami
VIctims in Asia While I take 50% for my investment in your country then 5%
will be set aside to take care of any incidental charges which might arise
in the course of the transfer. Due to my position.I have all his personal
account information which will be released to you on demand to pursue the
payment approval from foreign remiitance directors of this bank.All the
arrangement to put claim on the fund legally as the apparent heir of the
deceased has been perfected. Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at
this juncture is enormous. In return I demand your complete honesty and
trust.
NOTE : This transaction will be strictly based on the following terms and
conditions as I have statedbelow:
(a)My conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality
(c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds once it
is under your custody, or any form of blackmail to allow you run away with
this fund.
(d) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed
by me after you have removed your share of 30% from the total amount before
my arrival in your country as it might take me time to retire and get my
travel documents ready before arriving.
This transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude this
deal within 14 working days if you accord me your unalloyed support and
co-operation. I give you my word that you are completely safe in doing
business with me. Transactions like this have been successfully carried out
in the past by some of my collegues and now they are outside enjoying their
wealth with their foreign collaborators. Looting and corruption is rampant
in this part of the world ,thus explaining why you might have heard stories
of how money is been taken out of this country through foreigners assistance
like you, this is because everyone is making desperate attempts to secure
his/her family future, so that when retires from active service he/she will
not languish in poverty since Civil servants were not properly taken care
of.
Yours Sincerely,
Prof. Charles Soludo.
GOVERNOR, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN).
