I am Mr. Ahmed Musa, the secretary to Prof. Charles Soludo the executive

all commercial banks here in Nigeria. I was instructed to contact you by my
boss on an urgent issue, kindly note that your funds were re-called and
re-deposited into the "federal suspense account" of the cbn last week,
because you did not forward your claim as the rightful beneficiary.
My boss was visited in his office by three gentlemen, these men were
unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He asked them the
purpose of their visit and they said that they came to collect your
inheritance/ contract funds bill sum of us$20 million as shown in your file
with us, on your behalf and by yourauthorization. Note that they tendered
some vital documents which proved that you actually sent them for the
collection of these funds.
Below is a list of the documents which they tendered to this bank:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2.HIGH COURT INJUCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.
Due to the nature of his job, he can't afford to release the funds to
anyone except you who is the true beneficiary. Note that he asked the men to
come back so he can verify this fact from you first. Kindly clarify us on
this issue before we
make this payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf.
Kindly direct your response to his private email address, Prof.Charles
Soludo, the executive governor of the central bank of nigeria,below for
quicker deliberation and response from him on the release of your funds to
