I am DR. ABBAN DICKSON, Director, Central Computer
Auditing/Monitoring Unit office of the Accountant General
of Federation. Your payment file was referred to my desk
for approvals before the cash-processing unit was
authorized to make cash payment to you. Ever since, I have
been following up your case, but when it was obvious that
your fund was about to be revoked, I took immediate action
to safeguard the funds from not being confiscated. Because
l was deeply touched that until now you have not received
your inheritance payment
The difficulties we are encountering in your contract file
is highly complicated, as a letter of affidavit was sent to
this office requesting for a change of your account details
to a bank in Stuttgart Germany by your attorney and
Partners. The payment investigation /advisory board found
out that there are irregularities in the signatures and
according to information gathered from the bank computer
networks, you have been waiting for a long time to receive
your money without success. Your problem is that of
interest group. A lot of people are interested in your
payment and those people are merely doing paper works with
you and that explains why you receive fax and phone
messages from different people in Nigeria everyday.
Following the prevailing dishonoring of our remittance
instructions and treatment of our credit advice with gross
indifference by most recipients to overseas banks in
addition to some fraudulent activities going on in the
Inter-Continental Bank, which we have already sent out
publications on that effect. If you had not authorized the
change of your bank account in respect of your outstanding
Inheritance Payment, the change of your bank account
notification / declaration was supported with a sworn
affidavit from Lagos high court ref: Ilk /jj/20522/k2005,
dated 21th march; 2005 and signed by one Manfred Alex
Klingler who claim and stated in the sworn declaration that
you authorized him to claim the Inheritance fund on your
behalf.
The new account is in BANK OF VALLETTA PLC, MALTA, a/c
no.40012849840, we have already advised our corresponding
bank overseas to release your approved outstanding contract
payment in your favor before the affidavit to change your
bank account number was submitted to this office. You are
therefore advised in your own interest to confirm to this
office, notifying us if you are aware of this new
development as our office will not be liable for
miss-crediting of client's account. You have to reconfirm
your full banking co-ordinates information including your
telephone, fax and your postal address also your copy of
international passport.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message, as this
will guide us on what step to take because I have decided
to help you by using diplomatic courier means to deliver
your contract sum to you through our affiliate office.
Please, maintain topmost secrecy as it may cause a lot of
problem, if it is found out that we are using this way to
help you, do not ever tell anybody about this until you
have secured your money.
As you can see that this is the only way to help you
receive your fund. Therefore, if you accept this method
call me on the above phone number.
