(1) The Central Bank of Nigeria is no more in charge of Foreign Payments of any sort as announced by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in his nationwide broadcast. This was as a result of predominant cases of corruption discovered in the CBN.
(2) The authority to effect foreign payments/remittances of contracts and debts has been given to the Senate under strict scrutiny until henceforth.
(3) Your payment will not be released /effected by the CBN or any other Office\Dept as you were told because they do not presently have any authority or influence over such. Do not allow yourself to be misled.
(4) Our under-cover Security agents discovered that there is a ploy to divert your payment to an unknown/coded account they opened in Hong Kong.
(5) We are not ignorant of the various devices of these criminal group but God is helping us to stem their plans down.
(6) During the joint meeting of the Senate and the Presidency, you were approved for payment along with (7) others and your payment will be executed by the Senate via our E-Payment System. Since the begining of this year, we have been paying our foreign debts through this secure Electronic payment system.

(8) Caution:- If we discover that you are still communicating with this criminal group, be rest assured that your payment will be cancealed. For your interest and the interest of your firm, do not respond to any of their mails any longer.
(9) Professor Charles Soludo's case is coming up next month July where he is expected to defend himself concerning the various allegations of fraud levelled against him or face the full weight of the law. Your postion in the Government or society does not matter once you are proven guilty of financial or economic crime.
Details of the E-Payment system will be furnished to you as you revert back to me promptly.
