Subject: PLEASE CONFIRM YOUR FUND
Date: 17TH JuLY , 2007.Our Ref: CBN/OHG/OXD1/2007 Your Ref:.................................TELEX: CENBANK.PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/07.Attn: sir madam PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.Definately, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you.Firstly, I will like to
introduce myself formally as Prof. Charles Soludo, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN).You are been officially contacted by me today because your Inheritance Funds were
Re-depositted into the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN last week, because you did not forward
your Claim as the Right beneficiary. Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the
mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria.Really these men were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu. I had to ask them why
they came to see me in person and they said that they were here to Collect the Bill Sum of
(US$12,500,000) which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf.At this development I asked them
who authorized them to come down to Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me
that you asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. Infact this was the biggest
shock that this Bank have ever received so far because your Funds is still in the "Federal
Suspense Account" of CBN, yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf
without notifying us.We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and Collect your Funds on your
behalf. If actually you want them to help you Collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, at least you
should have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank.They actually tendered some Vital Documents which Proved that you actually sent them for the
Collection of this Funds. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took such decision without my
consent.Here are the Document which they tendered to this Bank today:1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION.3. ORDER TO RELEASE.Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank is a clear Proof that you sent
them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally, I told them to come back tommorrow morning and they
promised to come back.As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Funds to them but I refused
to do so because I wanted to hear from you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want
to make any mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the Recognised
Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds.Kindly clearify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf.In receipt of this
confidential Letter, you are required to contact me on this email:charles4soludo_cbn_n@excite.com
please keep Confidential until we have verify your consentOFFICIALLY SIGNED.PROF. CHARLES SOLUDO.GOVERNOR, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA.
