Subject: PAYMENT UPDATE
Dear Sir,

nk, my Boss, Mr. Chief Christopher Ezeh, the Managing Director/CEO of this =
bank is now on compulsory leave and all power have been vested on me to mak=
e all international payments.=20
=A0
Also, due to reported cases of corrupt practices in other Nigeria Banks Inc=
luding the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Federal Government has Revoked/canc=
elled all power vested on those banks and has appointed our bank (Fidelity =
Bank of Nigeria) to make all foreign payments.=20
=A0
Be informed that the Federal Government has approved the release of Part-pa=
yment of US$5.7Million out of your total funds, which has been in this bank=
for many years unclaimed because my boss Mr. Chief Christopher Ezeh, colla=
boration with the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have refused to=
tell you the truth on how to claim your fund this is because he has been u=
sing the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich himself w=
ithout your knowledge.=20
=A0
I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the Easies=
t and the quickest method, which have not been made known to you Before. By=
this method, you will open a domiciliary account with this Bank ((Fidelity=
Bank of Nigeria), your fund would be lodged into this=20
Domiciliary account and your fund will be paid in directly to any bank of y=
our choice. After the transfer, you will confirm the fund in your bank acco=
unt within 5hours the same day. No Cost of Transfer (COT) and no stoppage f=
rom any Government departments as the transfer will be done within the bank=
alone and it is very safe.=20

The method which was introduced to you before is the Telegraphic Transfer (=
TT) for which confirmation was 48hrs, because of the time factor, petitions=
could come from various organizations stopping your payment and asking you=
to pay huge fee which would be difficult for you to pay so that they can b=
enefit from the huge interest your fund generates while still in the Bank.=
=20
=A0
