Dear Readers:

Your humble and hard working reporter got this in the mail today, and I guess I had better get on it before I lose out!

THE PRESIDENT NEW FEDERAL SECRETARIAT, SHEHU SHAGARI WAY,ABUJA TELEGRAM/ PRES-234-FGN Our Ref: PRS/COM/00452/IMP  

                                                                              

ATTENTION: BENEFICIARY,

RE: FINAL NOTIFICATION ON FOREIGN PAYMENT.

In line with the recent directive by the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria,President  Muhammadu Buhari, authorizing this office to verify/reconcile the entire approved Payment File certified OK SINCE LAST YEAR QUARTER PAYMENT OF YEAR 2015.

The Presidency in collaboration with the Senate Committee on Foreign Payment decided unanimously and issued an irrevocable payment instruction to the FOREIGN PAYMENT UNIT OF ECOBANK NIG PLC, to transfer your fund under 72Hrs upon the re-confirmation of your Payment/Banking information.

Subsequently we received a sudden application for change of your bank account by some person{s} stating that you are dead and that they are your Next-of-kin, with a new bank account, which has been processed and approved by the Federal Ministry of Finance.

But Mrs.Herve Assah DIRECTOR ECOBANK NIG PLC has refused to honor this application for change of account and insisted that you will be contacted for verification purpose before the transfer will be done.

We write to inquire from you the sincerity of this application made by your acclaimed Next of Kin as this nascent Democratic Government will not be held responsible for any wrongful transfer of your fund.

You are therefore required to contact to Mrs. Herve Assah  DIRECTOR ECOBANK NIG PLC  on his designated Tel No: 2348127024484 EMAIL: nig_plc@instruction.com  under 48hrs to ascertain the authenticity of this application, and if you are still alive.

All correspondence should be relayed to Mrs.Herve Assah DIRECTOR ECOBANK NIG PLC  Thanking you for your understanding and cooperation.

For the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

Senetor Bukola Saraki

THE PRESIDENT FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

Well, I'm definitely still alive, but I wish I knew how much money is involved here!

THEN, A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER I GOT THIS!

Dear ATM Beneciary,

RE: OFFICIAL NOTICE

My Name is Mr. Robert Milton. I am the Officer in Charge, UPS delivery services here in Nigeria. This is to inform you that we have received a package containing an ATM Card from Central Bank of Nigeria and we have been instructed to deliver the Package to you.

Meanwhile, I am very happy to let you know that the delivery fee of your package was paid by the Central Bank of Nigeria, so you don't have to pay for any delivery fee again, the only thing remaining right now is the insurance coverage fee of your package which you are to settle before your package will be dispatched. Note that we cannot take the risk of delivering your package to you without insuring it because we cannot afford to pay for any lost or damage in the process of delivering your package to you. I hope you can understand the simple explanation.

However, tracking number of your package will be sent to you as soon as we receive the insurance fee of $55 from you, so you are here by advised to proceed to any western union or money gram and send the insurance fee with the below information of my secretary to enable us dispatch your package. Bear in mind this is the only fee you will send to receive your ATM Card.
