Dear Sir/Madam
I am REV. STEVEN JONES, the EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR and Head of Swift Transfer
Unit of Union
Bank Nigeria Plc., Lagos-NigeriaSometime ago, in our bank your money was
brought to our
bank from Nigerian Apex Bank, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (C.B.N) and after
some period, this
money was taken back to the Federal Government treasury. For the period of
time this money
was in our bank, it generated an interest of US$ 3.1 Million, which we are
about to be pay
to you.
For your information and advice, you need to hasten up to pick this Fund
because from time
to time the C.B.N auditors do come to our bank to cross-check our files
and our financial
update, the earlier you comply with the demands of the delivery of the
fund, the faster the
action, because the CBN officials wants the accrued interest to be paid to
them but we
refused, so when they find out that this interest fund is still in our
bank they will want
to call back the money to the Federal Government treasury.
What we need from you now is any form of your identification for
example;your international
passport or you’re drivers license, then your telephone and fax number for
easy
communication and your address.
For your information you have to stop any further dealing with any body
until you receive this fund in your account. And I will also advice you to
stop chasseing
your contract/inheritance fund for now because none of this people can get
fund to you. As
soon as you receive your interest fund I will personally direct you on how
you can receive
your contract/inheritance fund with out much protocol.
As a matter of fact we don’t have enough time to waste since we have
wasted time in
contacting our respective customers, so try and comply with the entire
necessary
requirement for remittance.Contact me on ,Email stevenjones10@live.com
expecting your
immediately response.
Yours Sincerely,
REV. STEVEN JONES
