Attn:
This is to inform you that we have investigated your fund payment transfer form
Our Fund monetary Network Code 00-99077, that an outstanding payment to the
Tune of US$8 Million only was transferred in favor of ....................................
Of U S A, Which has unavoidably been stopped by HLS.This is because of our
Regulated law concerning huge transfer of fund from Nigeria that has not been
Entirely registered by the international Monetary Fund (HLS) to avoid illicit
Entering into the Global Bank System.

Note that due to the spite of legal and the related illegal fund wires. HLS monitors have certify all large transfers to determine their origins and purpose, this law was made due to the September 11th Terrorist Attack in the United States by the Paris Club of France and other Nations. However. The HLS have satisfied that the transfer in question come about as a result of payment of fund deposit.

Here are the requirements below:

(a) Certificate of Origin
(b) Anti-terrorist Certificate
(c) Money Laundry Certificate

But our rules also implies that such legal fund like this should be duly Certified and appropriately registered and authenticated by this office, and we wish to inform you that your banks in ..u s a......, would have confirm the payment within 72 hours from the day it was due for transfer by the (CBN or ZBN or UBN ) before it was stopped by the investigation Dept of HLS. As a result, the fund was not back up with irrevocable payment standing Order (ISPO) Certificate but due to the fact that have anything to do with illicit business dealings.

Do respond without delay since our stop order is kept pending for Seven days after which the fund a my be confiscated by HLS until this certificate to (CBN or ZBN or UBN ) office in order to confirm your fund ofUS$8 Million into your account in U S A and receive your payment within 6hours on the receipt of the certificate.
