[email protected] DATE; 09/ 05/2022 ATTN BENEFICIARY, RE: YOUR
INHERITANCE ACCRUED INTEREST /COMPENSATION PAYMENT ADVICE VALUED $5.1M
, I AM MR EMEKA EMUWA, 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 payments under the supervision
of the CBN. As the case maybe, the CBN has declared the sum of US$3.1M
as your accrued interest plus $2M AS 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:
7402-2022,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 EMEKA EMUWA .
