Subject: CBN DEBT PAYMENT NOTICE OF YOUR FUNDS
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY,
THE HONORABLE, GOVERNOR OF CBN.
TINUBU SQUARE, LAGOS- NIGERIA
Our Ref: CBN/OHG/OXD1/2008
Your Ref:...............
TELEX: CENBANK.
PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/08.
Attn: Beneficiary,
Definitely, 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-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$20,000,000) 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. In fact 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 yourbehalf 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
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.
Here are the Documents which they tendered to this Bank today:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUNCTION.
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
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 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 contact this Bank immediately you receive this
Confidential Letter with your full name, address and phone number for
reconfirmation and immediate action.
OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
PROF. CHARLES SOLUDO
