ATTENTION FUND BENEFICIARY.
This is an official Advice From The FBI, Foreign Remittance/Telegraphic Dept.
(FRTD), It has come to Our notice that the Oceanic Bank) and C.B.N (Central Bank
Of Nigeria) Africa has released your part of Inheritance/Contract Payment of
10,500,000.00 U.S Dollars Into Bank Of America in your name as the beneficiary.
the bank in Africa knowing fully well that they do not have enough facilities
to effect this payment from Europe to your account, used what we know as a
secret diplomatic transit payment S.T.D.P to pay this fund through wire
transfer. They are still waiting for final confirmation from you on the already
transferred funds, to enable them crediting into your account accordingly.
secret diplomatic transfer payment are normally funds related to drug/terrorist
and money laundry system of payment, why must your payment be made in such
secret transfer , if your transaction is legitimate and not related to
drug/terrorist and money laundry, why can't the bank in Africa via Europe
effect direct transfer into your account than secret diplomatic payment
transfer.
due to the increased difficulties and unnecessary scrutiny by the American
authorities when funds come from through such payment process from Europe,
Africa and middle east, based on the records we had in the past always
identified such method of payment as drug/ terrorist/money laundry funds, to
avoid problem with the us government as soon as these funds reflect in your
account in the U.S.A, it is our mandatory obligations to ascertain the
documentation and certification of this funds before the final crediting into
your account.
we advice you contact us immediately, as the funds have been stopped and held
in our custody pending when you were able to provide us with a diplomatic
immunity seal of transfer (dist) within 3 days from the united nation
international fund monitory unit (UNIFMU) that authorize the transfer and
certified that the funds originated from Africa and middle east is free from
terrorist/drug and money laundry or we shall confiscate the payment. We will
allow the funds to be release into your account immediately you make provision
the required document.
You will be directed where and how to get the document if it is not in your
possession.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
FBI Director ROBERT S. MUELLER III
