From: general auditor <auditorgenfedofngr@yahoo.com.hk>

Subject: THANKZ AND NOTED
ATTN:SIR/MADAM,
I write to inform you that your file hasbeen submitted to my desk for
proper verification before final approval for the release of your
funds, which is now in the Federal Reserve Account. After a careful
study of your file by the ECONOMIC FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION Mr
Ribadu A Daigo CP , I discovered that you have suffered a lot in the
course of receiving your payment. Your inability to claim it as a
result of miss-information and miss-representation onthe part of your
local representatives both at the Capital Bank, International bank,
First Bank of Nigeria Plc and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), who
have been presenting irregular and incomplete information to the
Central Bank ofNigeria, which is the Apex Bank in Nigeria and the only
Bank that is Authorized by law to effect all international transfer
either by, Commercial Banks, Government or the private sector.
Be informed that no single dollar goes outof Nigeria without the
knowledge and consent of the CBN. Therefore, if Capital Bank or First
Bank must wire any funds out of this Country, it must be done through
the Central bank of Nigeria (CBN), which remains the supervisory body
to all Banks in the Federal Republic of Nigeria. In addition, Nigeria
is so corrupt to the extend that a layman can wake up one day and send
fax or call a beneficiary telling him that heis in charge of making
payments to all contractors because, he has access to phone, fax and
internet and because he has access to the beneficiary's information
through some unscrupulous element/staff of the bank. And because the
beneficiary is very anxious, confused and do not know who and what to
believe, will co-operates with the would-be angel who is a nobody.
These fraudsters have done a lot of damages to the image of this great
country called Nigeria,they impersonates Bank Directors, The Governor
of Central Bank, the Vice-president and even Mr. President. Why would
the Vice-president or the President making calls to beneficiaries when
there are people saddled with the responsibilities of Awarding
Contract, Monitoring and release of Payments to genuine Contractors
The duty of Mr. President and the Federal Executive Council is to
approve the award and payment of anycontract, while the Federal
Ministry of Finance, through the office of the Accountant General of
the Federation, which is my office, will recommend the said beneficiary
and such contract claim to the Governor of the CBN forprompt payment.
Meanwhile, many fraudsters must have contacted you claiming to be
Governor of CBN. Note that there is only one Governor of Central Bank,
which is Prof. Charles Soludo. Now how do you know the real and genuine
Governor?This is where you are confused, those who are asking you to
pay $400 today, $700 tomorrow and $1000 next tomorrow can never and
will never be Prof Charles Soludo but fraudster, who make all ends
meets through this ways, they are all over the country and we are doing
all our best to put them to where they belong.
I want to assist you realize your dream, I will normalized all your
documents, open a new and unadulteratedfile for you and apply for the
payment from the Federal Reserve Account and submit your file to the
real and genuine Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria for unconditional
release of your funds. Meanwhile, I am not asking fora cent to do all
this for you, but I want to prove to you that not all Nigerians are
crooks, fakes and fraudsters, as it seems to be. Rather, majority of us
are responsible, reliable and God fearing human beings, people of high
moraland integrity. However, I believed that you will appreciate my
good gesture/efforts and reciprocate accordingly when you finally
receive your long and over-due contract funds.
If you are ready and prepared to work with me, you must keep this
confidential, just between you and me. Also you are to forward to me
through this medium, all information relating to your contract claims,
a copy of your international passport ordriver's license for proper
identification and to enable me know that, I am dealing with the real
and genuine beneficiary.
Best regards,
Accountant General of the Federation.
AUDITORGENERAL
IBRAHIM DANKWABO
