PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
I am Mr. Jeff Smith, the secretary to Prof. Charles Soludo; the executive
governor of the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N), the central bank of Nigeria
is the parent bank of all commercial banks here in Nigeria. I was instructed
to initiate contact with you by my boss the executive governor of the
central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N) on an urgent issue, kindly note that your
funds were re-called and re-deposited into the "federal suspense account" of
the cbn last week, because you did not forward your claim as the right
beneficiary.
My boss the executive governor of the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N), was
visited in his office by three gentlemen today, really these men were
unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He had to ask them why
they came to see him in person and they said that they came to collect the
inheritance/ contract funds bill sum which rightfully belongs to you as
shown in your file with us, on your behalf and by your authorization.
Note that they actually tendered some vital documents which proved that you
actually sent them for the collection of these funds. Below is list of the
documents which they tendered to this bank today:
1. Letter of administration.
2. High court injunction.
3. Order to release.
Due to the nature of his job, he cannot afford to make any mistake in
releasing these funds to anyone except you who is the recognized true
beneficiary to these funds. Note that my boss has asked these men to come
back tomorrow so he can verify this fact from you first. Kindly clarify us
on this issue before we make this payment to these foreigners whom came on
your behalf.
Kindly to direct your response to the private email address of my boss,
Prof. Charles Soludo, the executive governor of the central bank of nigeria
cbn,below for quicker deliberation and response from him on the release of
your funds to you. Please remember to indicate a phone number he can reach
you on in your response.
