I write to duly inform you that we have reviewed our database of all Outstanding Foreign Beneficiaries, who are yet to receive their respective Inheritance Entitlements/Payment and we have discovered that US$7,500,000.00 (Seven Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), was deposited with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), in your FAMILY NAME, by a late relative of yours, since August 2004. Our database also noted that the funds in question is your FAMILY MONEY and you have been appointed to claim it on behalf of your entire family. For this cogent reason, the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (FRN) - Dr. Goodluck Jonathan, has mandated me to investigate the reasons associated with the delay for release of your Inheritance Entitlements/Payment. Based on this recommendation, I wish to inform you that the major reason why your US$7,500,000.00 (Inheritance Entitlements/Payment), has not been released to you, is because a certain gentleman by name MR.
