The scammer is claiming to be from the Central Bank of Nigeria but does not ask you to contact him on a CBN email address, rather a free webmail address.

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am John Tony, Director Allocation Department from the (Central Bank of Nigeria) Lagos Branch. My office monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Nigeria concerned
with foreign claim payments.

I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving within banks both on the local and international levels in line with foreign claim settlements. I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as Ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits or over-invoiced sum.

0n this note, I wish to have a deal with you as regards to an unpaid fund. I have a file before me and the data's are correct and un-tampered. As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as
unclaimed deposits, I have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received two days ago from the Foreign Debts reconciliation dept to submit the List of payment reports / expenditures and audited reports of revenues. Among several others, I
have decided to remit your claim sum following my idea that we can have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally.

My conditions:

1. The sum of USD$25.7M only will be transfer into your account after the processing of all relevant legal documents with your name as the beneficiary, the transfer will be made by Draft, telegraphic Transfer (T/T), OR deliver through a UN Diplomatic means of moving funds conformable in 3
working days.

2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.

3. There should be no third parties as most problems associated with your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.

4. Note that after the successful completion of this transaction, you and I will have a fair share of the fund in the ratio of 50:50, when I come over to meet with you in person.

If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the three days mandate.

1. Your Full Name
2. Current Address
3. Direct Phone/Fax Number
4. Occupations
5. Age

I hope you don't reject this offer and have this funds transferred.

Waiting for your reply soon.

Yours faithfully,

John Tony.
