Attn: Beneficiary

Dear Nigel.
Inheritance Fund.

RE: DELAYED PAYMENT OF US$………………..

On behalf of the entire members and staffs of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), I sincerely apologies for the delay of your payment and
all the inconveniences that we might have indulge you through.
However, this resulted from some minor problems with our payment
system, which is inexplicable, and this have held us stranded and
indolent, not having the aspiration to devote our 100% assiduity in
accrediting foreign contract and Inheritance payments. I apologies
once again.From the records of our outstanding contractors due for
payment with The Federal Government of Nigeria, your name and company
was discovered as next on the list of the contractors who have not yet
received their payments.

I wish to inform you that your payment is being processed and will be
released to you as soon as you respond to this urgent notification.
Also note that from the records in my file, your outstanding contract
payment is Ten million united State Dollars(  $10 Million ). Please
re-confirm to me the following, and as soon as your information is
received, your payment will be made.

A team of Auditors set up by the Presidency, Foreign Contract Payment
commission has discovered an outstanding payment due to you by one of
the banks here and has reported it to our bank for immediate
action.Our bank has called for reasons for non-payment and was
informed that you were unable to pay the statutory charges, and that
there are counter claims on this same money.
Presently there are two different interest groups known to be lobbying
for the payment of this money into two different accounts and we do
not know which of these groups is truly representing you. You are
therefore required to confirm to u s in reply to this mail which of
the groups is your true representative, if any.

You are also advised to be wary of anybody that promises to help you
get your money. You do not need any special assistance to receive your
money, especially now that the Presidency has restated her resolve to
adhere strictly to the mode of payment stipulated in the Anti
Corruption Bill (ACB).There will be no incredible and unofficial
methods of payment in this case. The system of settling debts in
Nigeria is the same as in your country and anywhere in the world. We
oblige you to suspend any legal action you have considered taking
against the bank or individual/s or the Government of Nigeria because
of the delay. Answering the following questions will help our bank to
facilitate your payment:

1. What problem are you having in receiving your money?
2. Do you owe any Bank, company, persons, or group of persons in

Nigeria.Henceforth, get clarification from the undermentioned officer
before contacting any other office or person in this matter. Note that
your local representative/s may not be welcomed by our bank to avoid
further complications.
While thanking you for your endurance till now, we promise to fulfill
our part as early as we get your respond to this letter and also take
the right steps.
