nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost
accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc. I write to present
you to the federal government that you are among the people expecting the
funds to be transferred into their account, on this note; I wish to have a
deal with you as regards to the unpaid
