PAYMENT FILE: CBN/BEN/2024
Attention:Beneficiary,
Definitely, I know that this letter will be a surprising one to you.
Firstly, I will like to introduce myself formally as Dr. Olayemi
Michael Cardoso, The Executive Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN) I am re sending you this very mail once again just because the
impostors are still contacting me on your behalf stating that you sent
him.
I am officially contacting you once again today because your total
Funds were Re-deposited into the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN
last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right
beneficiary. The Central Bank of Nigeria is the mother Bank of all
commercial Banks here in Nigeria. Really coming of the strange man
were unexpected by me because such visit was impromptu as i was told
that he comes to collect the Inheritance Bill Sum of 27 Million United
States Dollars ($27,000,000.00), which rightfully belongs to you, on
your behalf.
At this development I asked who authorized you to come down to
Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and was told that you
asked him to come and collect this Funds on your Behalf. In fact this
was the biggest shock that this Bank has ever received so far because
your Inheritance Funds are still in the “Federal Suspense Account” of
CBN, yet you sent so one to come and collect these Funds on your
behalf without notifying us.
We in this Bank do not understand why you sent such a person to come
and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want anyone
to help you collect your approved Bill Sum, at least you should
have informed me as the Executive Governor of this Bank. Honestly, it
really baffles me that you took such a decision without my consent.
As the Governor of this Noble Bank, I was supposed to Release these
Funds to him but I refused to do so because I wanted to hear from you
first. Due to the Nature of my job, I will not want to make any
mistake in releasing this Fund to anyone except you who is the
recognized Beneficiary to this Fund.
Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to the
foreigner who came on your behalf in receipt of this confidential
Letter, you are required to respond immediately to this email:
([email protected]) with your full name, address and phone
number for reconfirmation and immediate action or you call me with my
mobile telephone number below for more clarification.
Best Regards
Dr. Olayemi Michael Cardoso
