Subject: ATTN: BENEFICIARY
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
OFFICE OF THE DIRECTOR
FOREIGN OPERATION DEPARTMENT
TINUBU SQUARE LAGOS – NIGERIA
ATTN: BENEFICIARY
I am Mr. CHRIS GEORGE, The director of foreign operation Central Bank of
Nigeria. I just resumed duty after 2 months of vacation. Please, I would
like to advise if after reading this proposal you do not accept it, kindly
keep it to yourself because as at this moment, I am still working with the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and I will not by any means like to lose my
job.
I have put up over 15 years with the CBN with nothing to show for it. Hence
this is an opportunity to secure a bright future for my family since the
Government has refused to take care of its responsibilities. From my
investigation, you are one of the Fund beneficiaries with the Government of
Nigeria and thus you have met all the statutory requirements in respect of
your fund payment but till this day, you have received nothing. However, I
want you to know that the Central Bank of Nigeria is the only financial
institution that can pay your fund to you hence there is no other financial
institution in Nigeria or Africa/World that can handle your fund payment if
not the CBN.
By my position as the director foreign operation department, I am in charge
of issuing swift cards, Credit/debit and certified Bank draft. After going
through our record with foreign beneficiaries, I have discovered an accrued
interest amount of $4.5 Million as outstanding payment fund. This accrued
interest amount of $4.5 Million is what I intend to approve and release to
you via ATM CARD. Be equally informed that I have withdrawn and deposited
the accrued interest amount of $4.5 million into domiciliary account for
processing and uploading into the ATM CARD for onward dispatch to you. I
spent a total of $2,500 to process and upload the accrued interest sum into
the VISA ATM CARD. Please be informed that I have perfected plans to have
this VISA ATM CARD delivered to you.
I want to assure you that as the director of operation, I have the mandate
to award and approve this accrued interest amount to you and I can deliver
this ATM CARD to you within 3 working days if only you will cooperate with
me. You have to also assure me that you will compensate me with the sum of
$500,000.00 as soon as you receive the VISA ATM CARD and start making
withdrawals. I am 100% sure of immediate and direct delivery of the card to
you through a courier company. I want you to trust me and I swear not to
disappoint you.
If you are interested in getting this accrued interest amount of $4.5
million which I have loaded in a VISA ATM CARD, kindly get back to me
immediately and please reconfirm the following details to me
1. YOUR FULL NAME:
2. YOUR CONTACT ADDRESS FOR ATM CARD DELIVERY:
3. YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER:
4. YOUR OCCUPATION:
5. COPY OF YOUR IDENTIFICATION
Once I receive your acceptance mail, I will give you details for the
delivery of your ATM CARD to your address.
REGARDS,
MR.CHRIS GEORGE
DIRECTOR FOREIGN OPERATION DEPARTMENT
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
