Dear Valued Customer.
I am Mr. Godwin Emefiele, the new Governor of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN), This is to let you know that your case has repeatedly
coming to my Office and all the complains that I have been getting in
regards to your payment with the Federal Government of Nigeria which
the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) has been involved to pay to you.
Enough of this entire allegation that we have been adamant over your
payment, i want you to know that we have to end everything now without
further issues. I am handling this payment myself and I have approved
the sum of US$18,000,000.00 for you and I don’t want to know how much
you are supposed to be paid.
I have a meeting with Mr. President Muhammadu Buhari and the Finance
Minister who have agreed that I should handle this payment myself and
Make sure that your funds are wired into your account with immediate
effect.
I want to let you know that we are securing all payment transfer
papers that will delay your payment such as:
1) The Anti Terrorist and Drug Law Clearances
2) Financial Service Authority (FSA)
3) Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC)
4) The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN)
5) The Financial Action Task Force (on Money Laundering) (FATF)
Without this clearance nothing will be done, and with my position as
the Central Bank Of Nigeria Executive Governor, you will only pay for
your representative Attorney stamp and signatory of the above
mentioned documents for your payment to be paid to you.
This is the only way I can help you get your long awaited payment
transferred into your Bank Account or by an ATM CARD Delivery, if
you are serious to receive your fund as I stated, you have to get back
to me with the listed information below and indicate if you wish to
receive your funds through a telegraphic wire transfer or by ATM CARD
delivery to your doorstep.
I will want to have a one on one conversation with you on telephone so
I hereby advise you to call me as soon as you get this email so that i
can know what actually went wrong and why you weren’t paid along with
others.
Re-confirm to me the following information to enable the urgent
processing of your payment.
1.Beneficiary Name
