Hello,
Thank you for your email! However, I don't know if this will fit in our budget. Is there anything better you could do?

This mode of Payment is defined as one of the best and safest mode to
remit huge Funds internationally as it is absolutely different from
the usual swift transfer which takes longer time. Most Banks within
the United States of America, Europe and other developed countries
operate with the "Electronic Wire Transfer" for international
transfers because it is a recent innovation in the Banking industry.

Certainly we shall transfer your valued US$3,500,000:00 from the
Sundry/Suspense Account of the Federal Government of Benin being the
official Account for international/foreign Payments/debts. A
Sundry/Suspense Account can be defined as a secret Account owned by a
government and operated by certain assigned government officials being
the authorized signatories whom must sign before Funds can be remitted
from such account. For this very account no form of direct withdrawals
can be made from it except a Bank to Bank wire transfer which must be
Approved by the Executive President being the principal signatory to
the account.

Consequent to the fact that I am responsible to Pay you, it is still
my duty to enlighten you on the accurate steps to take in order for
you to gain full possession of this said Funds been Approved in your
name. In the combat against fraud, Funds diversion and Funds delay, we
have ensured that several foreign beneficiaries have been Paid
accordingly in order to retain and rekindle our country's reputation
on the global map because this recent government dispensation is
focused and targeted to relieve all foreign debts as mandated by The
Senate, The National House of Assembly,
The Federal Executive Council (F.E.C), Code of Conduct Bureau and The
Federal Ministry of Finance (F.M.F). Already, a lot of foreign
beneficiaries have been Paid by this Ministry so yours will not be an
exception considering the fact that the executive President have
Approved your due Funds today date 30th September 2017.
In accordance to section (1) paragraph 9 of the Settlement Edict Law
of The Nigeria of 1992, it is imperative that you provide us with the
below listed information so that we can remit your fund immediately.
You only required to pay sum of $139 for our official international
transfer charge of your total said amount here.

1. Bank Name and Address.
2. Bank Account Number:
3. Account Holder's Name:
4. Routing Number/Swift Code (very important).
5. Your Residential Address.
6. Your mobile or home telephone Number.
7. A form of identification (I.D Card or Driver's License) is also
required for official references.

To this effect, kindly call this office immediately after you read
this official Letter. TEL: +2348105429732

Federal Ministry of Finance" in collaboration with The Presidency.

Hi,
Sorry for the delay. Now I can focus.
I am about to wire the fee. Is there any provider you usually assign? And do I need any reference line to make sure the fees go straight to your account?

Thank you and good-bye!
