Dear Customer.

Attn: Sir / Madam,

RE: ACCRUED INTEREST PAYMENT ADVICE

I AM MR B B EBONG, the Director, foreign operations and head of
payment verification unit of Union
Bank PLC, Lagos Nigeria, in line with the instruction from the
presidency that your accrued interest
should be paid to you immediately instead of the principal sum, which
has been the case before now.

Some time ago, your contract / inheritance sum was brought to our bank
by the central bank of
Nigeria (CBN), after some period of time; the money was taken back to
the Federal Government
Treasury. This was done because of the autocracy from the CBN where
they use beneficiary money
to make interest from deposit with local banks for short period of
time. This has frustrated so many
fund beneficiaries and also caused several delay from getting foreign
beneficiaries paid their due sum.

But with the intervention of the Presidency giving the Union Bank of
Nigeria the unanimous right to
handle all foreign payment under the supervision of the CBN. As the
case maybe, the CBN has
declared the sum of US$3.1M as your accrued interest and also approved
this sum to be paid to
you without any further delay. It is my duty to verify your
information and also ensure that the said
amount is immediately allocated for payment.

NB: KINDLY GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR FULL BANKING DETAILS FOR THE TRANSFER OF
YOUR FUNDS, INCLUDING YOUR ADDRESS, TELEPHONE NUMBER, OCCUPATION, AGE AND
COPY OF YOUR IDENTIFICATION.

we have allocated to you new International Payment Voucher Number:
IMF/FRBWDC/US-BG-93WB82UN567-G, Approval Number: 7402-2011,
Certificate of Merit Number: 781 and Release Code
Number: 0295 and you must quote any of these Identification Numbers
before us for proper identification. Note also that your file is
currently in my office and from the records I have in my file, you
have been cleared to receive the sum of US$ 3.1M only.
Yours Faithfully,

MR B B EBONG
Director, Foreign Operations {UNION BANK PLC}
