FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC

Dear Friend
This letter is written to you in order to change your life from today.I am Mr. Prince Ajibola the Director, International Remittance
Department of this Bank, my Boss, Mr. Jacobs M. Ajekigbe, the Managing director/CEO of this bank is now on compulsory leave and all power
have been vested on me to make all international payments.
Also, due to reported cases of corrupt practices in other Nigeria Banks including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Federal Government
has revoked/cancelled all power vested on those banks and has appointed our bank (First Bank of Nigeria) to make all foreign
payments.
Be informed that the Federal Government have approved the release of part-payment of$7.5 M(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) out
of your total funds, which has been in this bank for many years unclaimed because my boss Mr. Jacobs Ajekigbe, collaboration with the
Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria ( CBN ) have refused to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund this is because he has been using
the interest accumulated from your fund every year to enrich himself without your knowledge.
I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the easiest and the quickest method, which have not been made known to you
before. By this method, you will open a domiciliary account with this bank (First Bank of Nigeria), your fund would be lodged into this
domiciliary account and your fund will be paid in directly to any bank of your choice.After the transfer, you will confirm the fund in your
bank account within 5 hours the same day. No Cost of Transfer (COT) and no stoppage from any Government departments as the transfer will
be done within the bank alone and it is very safe.
The method which was introduced to you before is the Telegraphic Transfer (TT) for which confirmation was 48 hrs, because of the time
factor,petitions could come from various organizations stopping your payment and asking you to pay huge fee which would be difficult for
you to pay so that they can benefit from the huge interest your fund generates while still in the Bank.
This method is not safe for you because it is not done within the bank alone as information of the payment would be sent to the Central
Control Unit (CCU) of the Federal Ministry of Finance and office of the Accountant General of the Federation.
As a good Christian, I have nothing to gain by keeping your fund, I want to assist you receive your fund before my boss resumes office.
You have to follow up and work with me now, so keep this very confidential because of fraudsters and impostors who go about
presenting various bank accounts in order to divert another beneficiary's fund.
your present/valid account co-ordinates and amount to be claimed so that I do not transfer your fund to the wrong Bank Account.
Yours truly,
Mr. Prince Ajibola Email: [email protected]
