Subject: PAYMENT UPDATE
ATTN:
I am Mr. John Aboh the Director,International Remittance
Department of this Bank(First Bank Of Nigeria PLC(FBN),
my Boss, Mr. Jacobs M. Ajekigbe,the Managing Director/CEO
of this bank is now on compulsory leave and all power
have been vested on me to make all international payments.
Also, due to frauds,Negligence,Errors and others
Transactions by Foreigners about Nigeria image abroad;
these has prompted the Federal Government to empower only
our Bank;First Bank of Nigeria PLC(FBN) to Identify the
owners of the funds yet un-claimed and pay them outright
with no delay.
Be informed that the Federal Government have approved the
release of part-payment of US$5.7Million out of your total
funds,which has been in this bank for many years unclaimed
because my boss Mr. Jacobs Ajekigbe, collaboration with the
Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) have refused to
tell you the truth on how to claim your fund this is because
he has been using the interest accumulated from your fund
every year to enrich himself without your knowledge. I want
to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the
easiest and the quickest method, which have not been made known
to you before. By this method, you will open a domiciliary
account with this bank (First Bank of Nigeria), your fund would
be lodged into this domiciliary account and your fund will be
paid in directly to any bank of your choice. After the transfer,
you will confirm the fund in your bank account within 24hours
the same day. No Cost of Transfer (COT) and no stoppage from
any Government departments as the transfer will be done within
the bank alone and it is very safe.
The method which was introduced to you before is the Telegraphic
Transfer (TT) for which confirmation was 48hrs, because of the
time factor, petitions could come from various organizations
stopping your payment and asking you to pay huge fee which would
be difficult for you to pay so that they can benefit from the
huge interest your fund generates while still in the Bank. This
method is not safe for you because it is not done within the
bank alone as information of the payment would be sent to the
Central Control Unit (CCU) of the Federal Ministry of Finance
and office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
Confirm to me through this e-mail address:
johnoabh@hotmail.com your:
Personal Information;
Phone and Fax Number;
Banking Information; where your money will be
paind into. Report in time.
Awaiting your quick response.
Yours truly,
MR. JOHN O. ABOH
