RE: THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER
I am delighted to contact you on a private note based on your
claim to your contract Fund 28 Million United States dollars, which
has been programmed for transfer into your designated bank account through my department.
I am hereby apologizing to you for the delay in releasing this
fundinto your account, which was caused by me because of breach of
agreement between me and your so-called partners in Nigeria who
introduced you into the business.
Your Nigerian partners approached me that they want to present you
as a beneficiary of this fund as it was an OVER-INVOICING made when
they are awarding contract to foreign firms. So after the negotiation,
we unanimously agreed that they (your partners) would give me the sum of
US$200,000.00 (CASH) on my acceptance to assist them to transfer the
fund into your account. When I accepted the offer, they forwarded all your
banking particulars to me for onward transfer. As soon as I made some
fruitful effort on the business and demanded my US$200,000.00 as
agreed. Your partners deviated from the agreement and decided to go
through the International Remittance Department at my back and make a
change of your bank account in other to disappoint me and you also not knowing
that the International remittance Department is also under my control.
Then I got the knowledge of their evil plans and prove their illicit
efforts abortive. That is why for sometimes you have been pursing this
payment, spending unnecessary funds to some fraudulent individuals
in Nigeria who claimed to be in charge to release your fund.
I want to re-emphasis to you that your fund is still with me and
under my control. Now with my whole heart I want to enter into real
business with you on a sincere agreement since your partners have
disappointed me and the fund is still floating in your name waiting for a proper
documentation and claim.
1. On an agreement, I assure you that I am going to transfer this
fund into your account.
2. You will assure me of keeping my dealings with you to an utmost
secrecy because of my position.
3. You will promise to give me 20% of the total fund as soon as the fund gets into your account with a written promissory note signed by you.
4. I will assist you in making a proper document to make your claim
genuine as a bonafide foreign contractors and the beneficiary to
the said fund.
I am aware that some fraudulent individuals has been impersonating my
name and office to contact you and other contractors as reported
by the Central Bank of Nigeria authorities. I advised you that
henceforth,you should suspend any dealings from any group of person(s) either
from the CBN or any other financial institution / parastatals in
Nigeria or overseas that might be contacting you in this purpose and
endeavor to keep this information confidential until we finalize this
transaction.
Also on no account must you contact these your partners any more,
this is for my own safety and for the security of the fund. Because
they will not stop at any length to getting this fund. And on no
account must you let them know of my contact with you. Please reply
this message urgently and call me on my confidential Tel 234-80-54200972,
E-mail:profcharlescontactcbn@yahoo.co.uk as soon as you received this E-mail message. While waiting for your favourable response. God bless you.
Yours faithfully,
Prof Charles Soludo
CBN GOVERNOR

confidentiality of this transaction, but will be used in other
communication during the transfer.
