Dear honourable beneficiary,
PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
Definitely, I am sure that the receipt of this email will be of utmost
blessing to you.I am Barr.Sanusi Newton the personal attorney to Prof.
Charles
Soludo, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).You
are being officially contacted by me today because I was instructed
to do so by my client The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), kindly note that your Funds were Re-deposited into
the"Federal Suspense Account" of the CBN last week, because you did not
forward your Claim as the Right beneficiary.The Central Bank of Nigeria is
the
parent Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria.
My client The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN),was
visited in his office by three gentlemen last week, really these men were
unexpected by him because their visit was imprompt. 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 of
(US$20,000,000:00)$20 million which rightfully belongs to you, *
*At this development He asked them who authorized them to come down to
Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told him that you
asked them to come and collect these Funds on your Behalf. Infact this
was the biggest shock that this Bank has 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 do not understand why you should send these men to come and Collect
your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you
collect your funds, you should have at least informed him officially as the
Executive Governor of this Bank.
Note that they actually tendered some Vital Documents which proved that
you actually sent them for the Collection of these Funds. Honestly, it
really shocked him that you took such a decision without his
consent.Below is list of the Documents 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 are a
clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for
you.
Finally,He, Prof Soludo told them to come back tomorrow morning and they
promised to come back.As the Governor of this Noble Bank, he was supposed to
Release this Funds to them but he refused to do so because he wanted to
clarify this from you first. KINDLY DO GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR
TELEPHONE NUMBER SO I CAN REACH YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE OK.
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
Bonafide Beneficiary to these Funds.*
*Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these
foreigners whom came on your behalf.Note that for security reasons you
have been assigned a code/password which is {TT7270CBN},Please note
that this code is the refernce number for your transfer and its being
disclosed to you alone,guard this jealously and all your email response
should carry this code as the subject.
Yours Faithfully,
Barrister Sanusi Newton(SAN).*
