*Attn: Dear Friend*
**
* 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 Inheritance Bill Sum of (US$6,500,000)
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
Inheritance 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, atleast 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.*
**
**
*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 Recognized Bona fide Beneficiary to
this Funds.*
**
**
*Kindly clarify 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 our Bank immediately you receive this
Confidential Letter.*
**
**
*Finally, send your Address/ Your Mobile Phone Number/ Your Age and your
Occupation.*
*
Best Regards,*
**
*PROF. CHARLES CHUKWUMA. SOLUDO.
EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR,
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C-B-N).
