Subject: FROM CENTRAL BANK
ATTN: HONOURABLE BENEFICIARY, I am here in acknowledgement and reconfirmation of your personal details and your email in swift response in regards to your contract part payments of Sixty Five Million United States dollars (usd$65 million dollars) forwarded to my humble office from the federal government of Nigeria revenue office for immediate payment. I am Prof Charles C. Soludo Governor Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). Firstly, I plead on behalf of my country and the Central Bank of Nigeria for not contacting you all this while as regards your contract/inheritance payment, which I know by now, must have cost you some inconveniences, I am promising You on behalf of the central bank of Nigeria that this will not repeat itself any more. I want you to know that your payment is valid and maintained with us here. I advice you to cooperate with me and listen to my advice as the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) will not be held responsible for any lapses or miss-direction of your fund due to your inability to co-operate with me who is in-charge as the executive governor of the central bank of Nigeria (CBN). I cannot vividly explain how this payment was generated or accursed to you, but I was informed before I resumed my humble office in the month of May 2004 that a contract/inheritance with the federal government was executed in your favour by a foreign contractor, who at the point of execution did not receive his payments. Coupled with the fact that the computer departments of the central bank was burnt down some months ago before I resumed this humble office, and all available information as regards your information that was dropped by the foreign contractor was missing as well, we were able to trace burnt files and also only left with your email address which I can not see clearly. When this payment notification was forwarded to my humble office, I decided to contact you for immediate payment into Your nominated account. Reply to (central.bank0000@yahoo.com) with the following information in your next mail so proper verification and clarification can proceed.. 1) Your full name.2) Phone, fax and mobile #.3) Company name, position and address.4) Profession, age and marital status. As soon as this information is received, your payment will be wired to your bank account directly from Central Bank of Nigeria. You are advised to contact the remittance department with the following details below immediately as soon as you receive this letter for a schedule/arrangement for the fund transfer.
NOTE- ALL DETAILS NEEDED MUST BE FORWARDED TO:(central.bank0000@yahoo.com) UNLESS YOUR DRAFT WOULD NOT BE DELIVERED.
