Attn: Beneficiary,
RE- OVER DUE PAYMENT;
I am the new Head Auditor Of CBN . The fact is that you are among one of
these contractors that was told that their money has been paid to them by
SOLUDO, and actually have not received their contract payment before now,
though approvals for your payment have been granted, but there is an issue
we will like to clear first before I proceed with the transfer proper.
You are been officially contacted by me today because your Inheritance
Funds were Re-deposited 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$10,500,000) 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, at least you should have informed me as
the Head Auditor 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 tomorrow morning and they promised To come back. As the Head
Auditor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release this Fund 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 Bonafide
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 call this Bank immediately You receive this
Confidential Letter. You can reach me on my private phone number
(+234-1-764-0111) as soon as you get this email. Please note to include
your,
(1) Your Full Name And Address:
(2) Your Age,Sex and Marital Status:
(3) Your Occupation:
(4) Your Telephone/Fax Number:
(5) A Copy of Your working ID / Drivers Licence or Int'L Passport.
Our suspicion arises from the swiftness with which the process of
transferring the beneficiary from you to these Men was hastily facilited by
top officials of the ministry and Central Bank of Nigeria . But we in this
office owe it as an obligation to confirm from you the reason for this
sudden change before payment of any sort can be effected because we would
not want to make any mistake in this course of discharging our duty by
payment into a wrong account, as it has happened in the past. ln respect of
this present situation, it is almost important that you get back to this
office without further delay to confirm the authenticity of the sudden
change because this office would not want to be held responsible for any
miss direction of contract fund.
NOTE: We have mounted our security network to monitor every in-coming calls
and emails, if we still find out that you are still dealing with all those
fraudsters that have been frustrating you for years, The authority shall
stop and cancel your payment immediately. You can get back to me via my
official email- (director_t_w01@hotmail.co.uk) for easy communication
between us.
Your Faithfully.
