Attn: Sir/Madam,
PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
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 and 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.
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 Executive Governor of this Bank.
They actually tendered some Vital Documents which proved that you
actually sent them for the Collection of these 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, 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 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
on +234-7025084954 you receive this Confidential Letter.
OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
PROF. CHARLES C. SOLUDO.
GOVERNOR, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA.
