Subject: YOUR FUND IN CBN
Dear,
I know that you might be surprise on this mail, but I am telling you the
truth. I know that it is against my official duty to release confidential
information like this to an outsider. There is nothing I can do to help you
beside this.
What I want to tell you is about your fund with the Federal Government of
Nigeria, the President, Alhaji. Umaru Yar'Adua, has mapped out $1.2 Billion
to off-set Nigeria ’s foreign debt, which includes; over due contract
payment, next of kin inheritance, lotto beneficiaries and other payments.
My main concern about this payment is that the Government and her agencies
are not sincere on this payment; rather some government and bank officials
have seen it as an avenue to make extra money for them.
Their plan is to secure approval of these funds on creditors name and later
divert it to another off shore bank accounts for their personal benefits.
As I am writing this mail to you now, arrangements have been concluded by
the some top placed government officials and the Central Bank Of Nigeria
Governor Prof. Charles Soludo, to divert your approved part payment of
$6,500,000.00 (Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only)
to another bank account. And they keep on deceiving and frustrating you by
demanding up-front payment from you, if I tell you that they are using all
these money to work against you, you might not believe it. But it is
reality.
There is ways I can assist you get your fund, it is risk but one have to
take it. What you have to do now is to get back to me as soon as you get
this mail with these details; your private telephone number, your banking
details where you would like your fund to be transferred into, your fund
details and contact address. I need these details as soon as you get this
mail so that I can make the transfer without further delay
Get back to me as soon as you get this mail with the above requested details
through this my email
Treat this ASAP
