RE: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SEEKING TO WIRETAP THE INTERNET

Soludo along with some of the CBN officials, regarding your case and they made us to understand that your payment file has been held in abase for some reasons depending on when you personally come for the claim. They also complained that the only problem they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central Bank office.
We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C.
