Subject: PAYMENT NOTIFICATION
FROM THE DESK OF PROF, CHARLES SOLUDO,THE EXECUTIVE GOVERNOR,CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N).
ATTN: HONOURABLE CONTRACTOR,
Dear Sir/Madam,
Once again, the inability by the various financial institutions in the country and their entire foreign subordinates to effectively complete the long approved sum of your contractual/inheritance payment has generated a lot of petitions to my office.
On the activities of some government officials that have deliberately refused to complete this transfer mandate because of their interior plan to divert this fund into a coded account in Spain, without your knowledge.
From the security report made available to my office, it is obvious that in other to deceive you, they collaborated with my personal secretary to steal all the important documents in my office and then impersonated myself in other to extort money and deceive you, for them to completely divert this fund into the coded account.
Thank God, the Telex Manager of the Bank is a straightforward man who had refused to collaborate with them by completing the wire transfer by releasing telex to the designated.
This is the reason we are able to detect this conspiracy against you and then had made it impossible for neither you nor the criminals from succeeding in the transfer.
Though, appropriate actions have been taken on all that are involved including the former Minister of Finance Dr. Shamesudeen Usman. I now had the sole mandate of the President to make sure that you are been paid without delay, and this institution is to be monitored by the World Bank’s visiting auditors.
Under this payment arrangement, because of the shortage of fund, you will receive initial sum of Ten Million, Five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$10.5M) only as part payment for now, then the balance and interest accrued will be settled on a later date in the second quarter. In this payment arrangement, you have three modes of payment that you need to choose one. They are, payment by wire transfer, there is also a payment by bank certified draft and the payment by automated teller machine (A.T.M).
You need to indicate interest in your choice and please re-confirm the followings:
(1) Your contract/inheritance particulars.(2) Bank coordinates and address.(3) Your personal data, including your telephone number and your mailing address.
The earlier you respond to this, the clever the date of completion of wire transfer, within the window of the payment schedule.
Remember, do not contact any other person; and report any body discussing this payment with you to my office because he is a criminal.
Yours faithfully,Prof Charles SoludoGovernor of Central Bank of Nigeria.
