Dear Amarjit Singh,
I sympathize with you on the seeming delay in receiving your Contract/Inheritance fund. You are unfortunate to have been dealing with dishonest people whose primary objective was simply to extort money from you. Without wasting time, we got to move ahead and have your problem solved immediately. We have a new policy that guarantees no upfront payments from creditors. However, 1% of your total sum would be deducted by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) correspondence bank in London while the balance is transferred to your account accordingly. By this arrangement, a form known as Authority to Deduct 1% Bill of Exchange Form is to be filled and signed by you the beneficiary. It would be sent to you by courier while you sign and return for necessary endorsements. After the endorsements, it would be forwarded to the HSBC Bank in London. There the deduction of the 1% would be made. This 1% will take care of all other fees and charges necessary for the release of your
funds.
To qualify for this process, the beneficiary must contact the chairman of the INDEPENDENT FOREIGN DEBT RECONCILIATION COMMISSION(IFDRC) for formal accreditation . It is from there that the papers would be sent to you for signing. In this case, be aware that the beneficiary must cater for the US$4,000.00 refundable insurance deposit and another US$250.00 courier fee from Nigeria to your country and to London. The US$4000.00 would be refunded to you as soon as the HSBC confirms the receipt of the papers. The deductions would then be made and your fund subsequently wired to your account. You are therefore required urgently to contact the IFDRC BY E-MAIL: ifdrcng_govt@yahoo.com by supplying all details about you and your claims.
MR. MARTIN NWABUEZE is the chairman of the Commission. This is a secret I think will help you after your sufferings all this while. Please act on it without mentioning my name. Always get back to me for more advice.
In case there is anything you do not understand, please feel free to ask me. Most importantly, I expect you to be fast in your actions . You will be glad you did.
Yours sincerely,
Miss Jan Taylor
Secretary to the Governor,
Central Bank of Nigeria.
