Private Memo
Hello,
REF: CLAIMING A NEGLECTED FUNDS
I am the Information and Data analyst of the Treasury/Payment Investigation
Department of the Central Bank of Nigeria.In the process of cross -checking
payment files inherited from previous head of this department I realized
a particular payment file with series of complicated abnormal entries of
a beneficiary who had made efforts towards getting his funds but to no
avail; I then decided to investigate the genesis of the difficulties /hitches
to the release of the said funds I found out these:
There is "NO PAYMENT STATUS" on the file and on our payment computer column
as a result of mistake, which I believe was made by the secretary who filed
the particulars (DATA) i.e Bank particulars and payment reference as it was
fixed by the side column of another payment file as if the reference is
not the principal benefactor of the money which effort were being made
to be claimed.
The reference name did not appear at the foreign payment list but went
and appeared at the Bank?s domestic payment network, which is abnormal, because
the transaction is a foreign payment!
No fund claim certificate was issued to the reference for claim of entitled
payment as constituted in our constitution for principal foreign benefactors
to claim their estate benefits or contract payments without hitch.
I have decided to contact you through this medium because in my
further investigation I found out that this claim is genuine with all legal
backings apart from the above data irregularities and complications which
made the beneficiary to give up the claim because the original beneficiary
I learnt is deceased without will. Therefore, I?ve withdrawn my submission
paper for conversion of the funds to the CBN Treasury, which several payments
have suffered because of irregularities since the implementation of the ICPC
-Independent Corrupt Practices Commission Act and the EFCC-Economic and Financial
Crimes Commission Act.
Based on this assurance I decided to link you up for this particular transaction
knowing it will be of mutual benefit to both of us.
REQUIREMENT: I want you to lay claim to this money as the principal benefactor
through me (CONTACT ME USING:mrebelemartins01@yahoo.com).All the abnormalities
in the original transaction will be corrected with your personal information
as will be submitted by you.On reflecting this in the payment computer system,
I will advise you on the application letter you will fax to this Department
for the release of the said funds.Sharing ration, 50% for me and 50% for
you.
I can assure you after the corrections and the application within 72 hours
the fund must be in your designated account.There is no single risk at all
as it?s quite clear to you that the Payment Investigation Department of
every Bank supersedes fund release at all level moreso I am the only person
entitled to all payment data analysis and information.
I will oblige you with further information and please I need your private
telephone /facsimile number for easy and confidential communication.Kindly
direct all reply to mrebelemartins01@yahoo.com
Regards,
MR.EBELE MARTINS
