Attn:Sir,
We are a contracted legal advisory firm attached to the Nigerian/Benin
Presidency, our services are in need in matters concerning
inheritance/contract payment and National Assemblies matters, the
administration of President Muhammadu Buhari have noticed that foreign
payment under the previous administrations in Nigeria/Benin were
highly corrupt and manipulated,especially against foreign nationals.
Meanwhile our firm discovered your name in the Federal Ministry of
Finance official gazette of second quarter of the year 2017 over your
payment Federal Government of Nigeria with payment reference number
NB/PF/CBB, so having explained how we know about your payment,we then
decided to contact you in line with our assignment as contracted legal
firm to the presidency.
It is true that there has being a lot of litigation for and against
your payment but the truth is that some top government officials and
top bank officials are working in collaboration to frustrate some
foreign beneficiaries from receiving their overdue payment simply
because of their selfish interest, this was discovered in the course
of our investigation to verify the reason behind the nonpayment of
some foreign nationals based on the petitions received by the
presidency, so as a contracted legal firm to the presidency we
resolved to contact the Federal Ministry of Finance before we saw your
name in the official gazette as a beneficiary that is why we decided
to contact you so that we can use our expertise and our connection to
redeem your payment within just 9 days, we are ready to step on toes
just to redeem your payment in line with the presidential directive on
foreign payment, all you need to do is just to issue us with a limited
power of attorney, this power of attorney will enable us to work
freely with all the relevant governmental offices concerned with your
payment as your representing law firm to secure your payment without
hitch.

empowered legally to redeem your payment in 9 working days, our
retaining/professional fees is just 2% of your total sum which you can
