RE: ADVISE FOR IMMEDIATE CREDITING Owing to the blacklisting of Nigeria by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the Financial Crimes Prevention Network of the United States Treasury, effort has been intensified towards improving the image of the country. The Organization for Economic Co-operation & Development (OECD), in conjunction with the National Committee on Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, under the auspices of the Federal Executive Council of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has deemed it fit and conspicuously agreed that HALIFAX PLC, being the accredited bank in United Kingdom, should carry out all financial obligation /transaction forthwith, for and on behalf of the Federal Government of Nigeria and it’s Parastatals. In view of that, the Committee, haven considered its consequence / implications and the emanation of the blacklisting, and thus came to the conclusion that it was as a result of the inability of various Government owned parastatals to offsets debts owed to it’s foreign contractors and the monumental fraud accosted it that culminated to the blacklisting. Consequently, HALIFAX PLC, under the surveillance of the Committee, with the approval of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, has assented and approved the payment of your contract proceed and, this will be credited to your designated bank account with immediate effect via this institution, through Acct No. HFP/CBN NO: 4008801-35 Prior to the final remittance as has been dully approved by the Executive Sub Committee of the National Committee on Money Laundering and Financial Crimes, it will be appreciated if you will reconfirm your banking and contract particulars so as in order not to remit your fund in error. Be of note that this bank is on a rescue mission and as such, will do everything in its powers to guide against infringement / infiltration from any quarters as impostors and miscreants might seize the opportunity to extort money. In that context and to forestall further irregularities, we will advise that any correspondence that does not bore (HALIFAX02), should be ignored, dishonoured and treated with caution as we will bear no responsibility for any loss sustained by any person or corporation that fails to heed to this warning in the hope of receiving his or her contract payment long over due. While appreciating the Federal Government of Nigeria effort haven reposed this enormous responsibility on us, we thus pledge our allegiance to full commitment towards salvaging and improving the image of the country Nigeria already battered.

Yours faithfully
