PAYMENT NOTIFICATION,

Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you.
Firstly, I will like to introduce my self formally as Mr.Godwin
Emefiele, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
I am officially contacting you today because your Inheritance Funds
were Re-deposited into the "Federal Suspense Account" of CBN Central
Bank Of Nigeria last week, because you did not forward your Claim as
the Rightful beneficiary Well known to all, The Central Bank of
Nigeria is the mother Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria. So
has the singular right to carry out this delivery.

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 in Sum
of ($5 MILLION USD) which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf.
In respect of your unfinished transaction which you are unable to
collect your fund.

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. In fact 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, at least 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 Fund. Honestly, it really baffles me
that you took such decision without my consent, by and large we still
have to consider the fact that as the rightful owner of the fund you
still have your own rights too.

Here are the Documents, which they tendered to this Bank:

1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUNCTION.
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 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
Recognized Bonafide Beneficiary to this Funds.

Kindly clarify 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 respond immediately to this email : with
your full name, address and phone number for reconfirmation and
immediate action.

However, I want you to know that this fund will reach via bank to
bank transfer, neither by any courier nor postage because we found out
that there have been much Problems when trying to deliver this via
courier services. Moreover the transferring bank will be introduced as
soon as we confirmed from you if really you send those men to get your
fund on your behalf. I also want you to know that the only fee attach
to this fund which you must have to take of is the administrative
charges and the paper work $120usd.So be informed.

OFFICIALLY SIGNED.
GOVERNOR OF CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
