ATTN BENEFICIARY,
RE: YOUR INHERITANCE ACCRUED INTEREST /COMPENSATION PAYMENT ADVICE
VALUED $5.1M ,
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 deposits with local banks for a short period of
time. This has frustrated so many fund beneficiaries and also caused
several delays 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$5.1M as your accrued interest /COMPENSATION 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$5.1M only.
Yours Faithfully,
MR B B EBONG
Director, Foreign Operations {UNION BANK PLC}
