RE: PAYMENT ON ACCRUED INTEREST OF US$3.5M
I am the Executive Director and Head of Swift Transfer Unit of Union Bank, Lagos branch, Nigeria.
Sometime ago, in our Bank your contract money was brought to our Bank from Nigerian Apex Bank, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N) and after some period, this money was taken back to the Federal Government of Nigerian Treasury. For the period of time this money has been in our bank, it generated an interest of US$3.5 Million, which we are about to pay to you via our (48) hours Immediate Electronic Wire Transfer Method only.
For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund because from time to time the C.B.N auditors do come to our bank to cross-check their financial balance and updates, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the fund, the faster the action, because the CBN officials wants the accrued interest to be paid to them but we refused, so when they find out that this interest fund is still in our bank they will want to call back the money to the Federal Government of Nigeria Treasury.
What we need from you now is any form of your identification for example; your international passport or your drivers license with a proof of your address, then your telephone and fax number for easy communication. As a matter of fact we don't have enough time to waste since we have wasted time in contacting you respectively, so try and comply with the entire necessary requirement for remittance.
If you have any questions or queries regarding this matter, do not hesitate to call me directly from Monday to Friday between the hours of 9:00 am till 5:00 pm and 10:00 am till 2:00 pm Saturdays only.
Note: l await your reply through this email: privateemail_barthlo@myway.com
Yours sincerely.
Dr. Barthlomew Egbong
Executive Director Union Bank Plc
