Subject: PAYMENT NOTIFICATION...
Dear Friend,
The African Development bank (ADB) in collaboration with the World Bank Regulatory Authority has published in the official gazette recently and mandated to offset all debts emanating from contracts executed by foreign contractors and files of next-of-kin and inheritance payments to indebted beneficiaries.
Some Next-of-kin/contractors funds were attempted to be diverted by some individuals. Other cases are imposition of illegal charges on next-of-kin/contractors, invitation to overseas for claims of funds without success, incessant payment of fees one after another endlessly, impersonation and other corrupt practices that pose to dissatisfy beneficiaries thereby causing confusion among them, subjectivity to bankruptcy and total mislead.
Some beneficiaries are in the nets of impostors unknowingly and act on their instructions to forward any message to them received by beneficiaries, using it as a weapon against beneficiaries and awareness of payment procedure we embark on, and then plan more to win the hearts for their own selfish desires. It is a pity! I am a British Citizen and was posted here from the African Development bank through the World Bank to quietly pay the affected beneficiaries but what i have discovered here so far is a bad omen.
I have discovered that you are one of the victims of this circumstance because the settlement of your due fund through the right link is not supposed to exceed 10 bank working days but has taken months and years, Yet you have not questioned the integrity of those you were dealing with. This message is to exonerate you from total mess and pay you your due fund and interest through the AFDB without you undergoing payment of fees one after the other.
INFORMATION: Any genuine document from authorized office must bear government code number. These include Payment Approval and Remittance advice. We need your bank details and address for this quiet payment exercise but not through any Nigerian bank because they are criminals.
Yours Sincerely,
Dr.Akinwumi Adesina,
President, African Development Bank (ADB)
