The above mentioned amount represents part of your funds, as we cannot move the entire Amount at a trench, for sensitive reasons. Thus you would be expected to contact the Barclays Bank PLC. London United Kingdom, as to enable you proceeds with the claim of such fund.
Our reasons for this latest development is because the Federal Government, has directed that all unclaimed sums MUST be moved to the Single Treasury Federal Government Account (S.T.F.G.A.), by the end of this second Financial Quarter of this year 2019. Thus the Financial Quarter will come to an end very soon.
You are therefore required to expect correspondence opening up communication with the Barclays Bank PLC. London, and as soon as you received any correspondence with them, and follow up with their instructions, regarding to this your fund claim.
Note that upon the actualization of your claims of the money, you will settle me and other the people who has also assisted you in one way or the other to make sure that part of your fund was moved out to stop your total sum from being moved to the Treasury Single Account (TSA) of the Federal Government.
