BENEFICIARY, RE: FINAL NOTIFICATION ON FOREIGN PAYMENT. In line with
the recent directive by the President, Federal Republic of
Nigeria,President Muhammadu Buhari, authorizing this office to
verify/reconcile the entire approved Payment File certified OK SINCE
LAST YEAR QUARTER PAYMENT OF YEAR 2016. The Presidency in
collaboration with the Senate Committee on Foreign Payment decided
unanimously and issued an irrevocable payment instruction to the
FOREIGN PAYMENT UNIT OF ECOBANK NIG PLC, to transfer your fund under
72Hrs upon the re-confirmation of your Payment/Banking information.
Subsequently we received a sudden application for change of your bank
account by some person{s} stating that you are dead and that they are
your Next-of-kin, with a new bank account, which has been processed
and approved by the Federal Ministry of Finance. But Mrs.Foluke
Aboderin DIRECTOR ECOBANK NIG PLC has refused to honor this
application for change of account and insisted that you will be
contacted for verification purpose before the transfer will be done.
We write to inquire from you the sincerity of this application made by
your acclaimed Next of Kin as this nascent Democratic Government will
not be held responsible for any wrongful transfer of your fund. You
are therefore required to contact to Mrs. Foluke Aboderin DIRECTOR
ECOBANK NIG PLC on his designated EMAIL: [email protected] under
48hrs to ascertain the authenticity of this application, and if you
are still alive. All correspondence should be relayed to Mrs.Foluke
Aboderin DIRECTOR ECOBANK NIG PLC Thanking you for your understanding
and cooperation. For the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Senetor Bukola
