My boss the executive governor of the central bank of Nigeria (C.B.N), was
visited in his office by three gentlemen today, really these men were
unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He had to ask them why
they came to see him in person and they said that they came to collect the
inheritance/ contract funds bill sum of us$7.5 million which rightfully
belongs to you as shown in your file with us, on your behalf and by your
authorization.Note that they actually tendered some vital documents which
proved that you actually sent them for the collection of these funds. Below
is list of the documents which they tendered to this bank today:
1. Letter of administration.
2. High court injunction.
3. Order to release.
Due to the nature of his job, he cannot afford to make any mistake in
releasing these funds to anyone except you who is the recognized true
beneficiary to these funds. Note that my boss has asked these men to come
back tomorrow so he can verify this fact from you first. Kindly clarify us
on this issue before we make this payment to these foreigners whom came on
your behalf.Kindly to direct your response to the private email address of
my boss, Prof. Charles Soludo,the executive governor of the central bank of
