CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN)
TINUBU SQUARE P .M. B 12194
LAGOS NIGERIA
FROM THE DESK OF:
BARR.JONES IDRIS
DIRECTOR KTT CBN
TELL:234-803-712731
Attn:Beneficiary/ Contractor.
After waiting to hear from you Nigeria or your Nigrian partners for a long
time now.l decided to make this direct approach to you as my new year
resoulution in other not to let it be if I have anything in mind against you.l
do not know if you have asked yourself why each time the release of this fund
is approved,all of a sudden,the payment will be stopped or one problem or the
other will come up.if you have not asked this question or you do not know,
this is an opportunity for me to tell you.
some time ago,your Nigerian friends, l mean the people that introduced you to
the project approached me through my dear wife who works with the Federal
Ministry Of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a money transfer
deal they had with you. They requested me to assist them by removing the
original contractors name,company's name and bank particulars from the Central
Bank Of Nigeria(CBN) vetting computer and replacing them with your name and
your bank details in order to make you appear as the rightful beneficiary of
this fund. I agreed on condition that they will pay me US$100,000 as soon as
your name appears as the beneficiary. I did as agreed and demanded to be paid,
but your friends started telling me stories,they even told me you promised to
send money to me. Do you know that up till now,l have not received a single
cent from them and have not set my eyes on any of them.
Based on their attitude,l decided to stop the fund release movement because l
cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering the risk as it might
affect my job. Secondly,l know the source of the funds that you did not
execute any contract in Nigeria,although l am the only person privileged to
know this infromatin and it is a fact. Why l am making this clear to you is
that l can see that you are still making efforts in order to conclude this
project. Now l am ready to forget the past. l do not need the US$100.000 any
longer from you but a good compensation from your mind. l need your assurance
that those your colleagues will be tottally kept out of this transaction. l
know that none of them is aware of my new approach to you. Stop spending your
money unnecessarily to CBN Officers both here and overseas because you will
not receive this money without my hand in it .l personally did the work at the
begining and only me can perform it.
Finally,l need your promise that no official of the Central Bank Of Nigeria
will be aware of my involvement in this regard because of my position. Now
re-assure that you will be willing to compensate me,that you will assist my
wife to establish a foreign account in your country where my compensation will
be lodged. Also a KTT FUND RELEASE APPROVAL DOCUMENTS will be sent to you for
endorsement after which l will remit the money within 48 hours. l am a man of
my word.If you are ready to conclude this business with me, kindly contact me
on my mobile phone or email so that we can have a chat over this issue once
and for all. But if the reverse is the case, do not bother yourself to reach
me and forget about this money.
BEST REGARDS.
