FROM THE DESK OF: EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOREIGN & DOMESTIC OPERATIONS:-ATTN:MR JIBRIL AKU
Attn:Beneficiary,
I am MR. JIBRIL AKU the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOREIGN & DOMESTIC
OPERATIONS of Ecobank Nigeria Plc. Lagos-Nigeria. Sometime ago, in our
bank your name and your contract money was brought to our bank from
Nigerian Apex Bank, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N) and after some
period, this money was taken back to the Federal Government treasury.
For the period of time this money was in our bank, it generated an
interest of US$ 6,550,000(Six Million, Five Hundred & Fifty Thousand
United States Dollars Only),which we are about to pay to you. Note,
you should indicate the payment method you will prefer for your
payment, we have two (2) mode of payment below through which you can
be paid.
(1) Bank-To-Bank Funds Transfer
(2) Diplomatic cash delivery.
We will make your payment as soon as you conclude the payment
statutory obligations. Get back to me with any of the payment options.
You need to hasten up to make sure you receive this Fund because from
time to time the C.B.N auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our
files and our financial update.
The earlier you comply with the demands for the release of your fund,
the faster the action, because the CBN officials wants the accrued
interest to be paid to them but we refused, so when they find out that
this interest fund is still in our bank they will want to call back
the money to the Federal Government treasury.
What we need from you now is any form of your identification for
example; your international passport or your Driver’s license, then
your TELEPHONE and FAX NUMBERS for easy communication with your
delivery address. As a matter of fact we don’t have enough time to
waste since we have wasted time in contacting our respective
customers, so try and comply with the necessary requirement for your
fund release.
Kindly respond promptly so that I can advice you on what next to
do.Please reply to this my home email address: [email protected]
Expecting your immediately response.
Yours Faithfully,
Mr. Jibril Aku,
The Executive Director foreign & Domestic operations
