MR .BRUCE WELLS.
FIRST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC
35 Marina P. O. Box 5216,
LAGOS- NIGERIA.
DEAR:Sir/Madam
This letter is written to you in order to change your life from today. I am
Mr. Bruce Wells the Director, International Remittance Department of this
Bank, my Boss, Mr. Jacobs M. Ajekigbe, the Managing director/CEO of this
bank is now on compulsory leave and all powers have been vested on me to
make all international payments.
Also, due to reported cases of corrupt practices in other Nigeria Banks
including the Central Bank of Nigeria, the Federal Government has
revoked/cancelled all powers vested on those banks and has appointed our
bank (First Bank of Nigeria) to make all foreign payments.
Be informed that the Federal Government have approved the release of
part-payment of$7.5M(Seven Millon Five Hundred Thousand Dollars) out of
your total funds, which
has been in this bank for many years unclaimed because my boss Mr. Jacobs
Ajekigbe, collaboration with the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
have refused to tell you the truth on how to claim your fund this is
because he has been using the interest accumulated from your fund every
year to enrich himself without your knowledge.
I want to help you pull out this fund to your bank account using the
easiest and the quickest method, which have not been made known to you
before. By this method, you will open a domiciliary account with this bank
(First Bank of Nigeria), your fund would be lodged into this domiciliary
account and your fund will be paid in directly to any bank of your choice.
After the transfer, you will confirm the fund in your bank account within
5hours the same day. No Cost of Transfer (COT) and no stoppage from any
Government departments as the transfer will be done within the bank alone
and it is very safe.
The method which was
introduced to you before is the Telegraphic Transfer (TT) for which
confirmation was 48hrs, because of the time factor, petitions could come
from various organizations stopping your payment and asking you to pay huge
fee which would be difficult for you to pay so that they can benefit from
the huge interest your fund generates while still in the Bank.
his method is not safe for you because it is not done within the bank alone
as information of the payment would be sent to the Central Control Unit
(CCU) of the Federal Ministry of Finance and office of the Accountant
General of the Federation.
As a good Christian, I have nothing to gain by keeping your fund, I want to
assist you receive your fund before my boss resumes office. You have to
follow up and work with me now, so keep this very confidential because of
fraudsters and impostors who go about presenting various bank accounts in
order to divert another beneficiary's fund.

You present/valid account co-ordinates and amount to be claimed so that I
do not transfer your fund to the wrong Bank Account, Also send your current
address and telephone number.
Awaiting your quick response.
Yours truly,
[email protected]
Mr. Bruce Wells.
