Dear Sir,
Re: Your Claim Fund
How are you today, well after a serious thought, I decided to personally reach you directly because today because i do not have anything against you, but your so called partners working with you to realize the remittance of your payment. Have you ever wondered why you have been going through this vicious circle over the past years in respect to having your fund paid to you without any success? It is possible that you were not informed that your payment was brought to me for finalization, neither were you informed that I am the person frustrating every move to get your fund remitted, another deceit on the part of your partner(s). Well, like I said earlier, I have nothing against you or your payment but I’m only trying to protect my interest also. I do not want to mention names here, but am certain you are aware of whom I am referring to having not received your fund.

I am the Director, International Wire Transfer/Telex Department, Central Bank of Nigeria, which is the apex bank in Nigeria. Some time in the past your partner(s) approached me through a friend of mine who works with one of the Government Ministries here and requested that I assist them conclude a money transfer deal with you as the beneficiary and we all agreed. According to him, he wanted to use this strategy to transfer a huge amount of money by presenting your name as “Beneficiary?whose fund has not been paid.

Although we agreed that once I did that, he would give me 25% of the total fund and will equally give me your contact informations before I release the fund to your account. When he saw that I have programmed your fund for onward transfer and your name has been approved among the list of those to be paid as beneficiary, instead of letting me have your contact information to enable me regulate the transfer and confirm when it arrive your account to enable me send to you my account details for my share, he started avoiding me and resorted to threats. Because of that I immediately cancelled the transfer and deleted your Payment Initializing Code (PIC) among the list of those to be paid, which made it IMPOSSIBLE for the transfer to be completed to your into your account then.

However he became angry the more when he saw that their plan did not work, they started bribing other officials to get another approval to enable them transfer the money to you but all the effort were to NO success. Is it not funny that a beneficiary is being asked to pay for approval while his fund is here with us? I decided to obstruct the transfer because of their breach of the gentleman agreement I had with them . If you doubt what I have just told you now, then go ahead and pay any amount they will ask you to pay, after a short time they will come up with another reason to pay again and it goes on and on WITHOUT END. I did not reveal the Payment Initializing Code (PIC) to any staff of this apex bank even till now because I want to avoid further betrayal hence no office can release the payment.

I am in the position to allow the transfer of fund into any given account,since I have gotten your email address through a reliable and close friend of your partner,i decided to reach you.AGAIN BEAR IN MIND YOUR PAYMENT IS NOT IN ANY OFFSHORE PAYMENT CENTER and YOU WILL NEVER RECEIVE YOUR PAYMENT FROM ANY OFFSHORE CENTERS AS FOLLOWS LONDON, SPAIN, HOLLAND, DUBAI, not even the United States of America or anywhere outside Nigeria BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY MAY HAVE TOLD YOU. Now if you want us (you & I) to work together for me to conclude the remittance to your account, these are my conditions.

(I) You must keep our transaction highly secret because I don't want to get involve with any of them again in life and I will have 40% of the money because it is only two of us and yours 60%.

(ii). You MUST assure me that you will not betray me after a successful transfer and that my share will be safe until my arrival in your country.

(iii) As you have seen, we can conclude the transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality if you wish to adhere to my directives and instructions. If these conditions are acceptable to you, contact me as soon as possible to let us finalize all the arrangement and conclude the transaction.

I will give you more important details once I hear from you based on if you promise to keep away from them and handle this matter yourself because I will only effect this transfer without any of their knowledge. May i apologized for this delay as I WAIT FOR YOUR SWIFT REPLY, via my confidential email address: (enquiry.tijanix1@w.cn)


Regards.
