Attn: Sir/ Madam
PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
Definately, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you.
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Prof. Charles
Soludo, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
You are been officially contacted by me today because your Inheritance
Funds were Re-depositted into the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN
last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right
beneficiary.
Well known to all, The Central Bank of Nigeria is the
mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria. Really these men
were unexpected by me because their visit was impromptu. I had to ask
them why they came to see me in person and they said that they were
here to Collect the Inheritance Bill Sum of (US$20,000,000) which
rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf.
if you have been recieving any mails from fake lawyers with this
namesBarrister adam okoro, Barrister john onwaeje, Barrister henry obi
and lots more, do kindly send me all the mails and what theu have taken
from you so we could get them arrested ok, i am now working hand in
hand with the FBI and also we have a new body here fighting corruption
,named EFCC(ECONOMIC AND FINANCIER CRIME COMMISSION)so we are here to
help you get back what has been stolen from you .
At this development I asked them who authorized them to come down to
Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told me that you
asked them to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. Infact this
was the biggest shock that this Bank have ever received so far because
your Inheritance Funds is still in the "Federal Suspense Account" of
CBN, yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your
behalf without notifying us.
We in this Bank do not understand why you sent these men to come and
Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help
you Collect your Inheritance Bill Sum, atleast you should have informed
me as the Executive Governor of this Bank. They actually tendered some
Vital Documents which Proved that you actually sent them for the
Collection of this Funds. Honestly, it really baffles me that you took
such decision without my consent. Here are the Document which
they tendered to this Bank today:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.
Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank is a
clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you. Finally,
I told them to come back tommorrow morning and they promised to come
back. As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release
this Funds to them but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from
you first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any
mistake in Releasing this Funds to anyone except you whom is the
Recognised Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds. Kindly clearify us on
this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on
your behalf. In receipt of this confidential Letter, you are required
to call this Bank immediately you receive this Confidential Letter.
OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
PROF. CHARLES SOLUDO.
