PROCEDURES AND OPTIONS GUIDELINES FORTHE TRANSFER OFYOUR FUND.

This are the Procedures you need to be notify of before the transfering of your fund. There are two possible ways in which we can make your fund transfer which are as follows:

FIRST OPTION

(1) Like you were told before, the remittance is via digital dial phone where you will dial our access number: 234 1 4613650 and at a prompt, you will enter your already programmed account number and press the # key, you will also be requested by the computer system to enter your Password.

In this regard, you are needed to have the Original Remittance Telex Slip because, the Password is sealed/enbeded in the Slip and it is meant to be opened/unsealed by ONLY the beneficiary (you).

The question that come to the mind is how will you recieve the Original Remittance Slip?

So therefor there are two possible ways:

1. By coming to Nigeria to pick it up

2. By bearing the cost of Insurance and registered Mailing because we do not use ordinary mail or any prepaid courier system.which will have to cost you the total sum of USD$450 ONLY.

This are the Procedures you need to be notify of before the transfering of your fund. There are two possible ways in which we can make your fund transfer which are as follows:
SECOND OPTION.

(2)Or by you making the Bank Cost Transfer Charges for the fund to be totally cleraed to your door step by the help of our Bank Security Company in UK.
And this will have to cost you alot of expenses since it is a bank to bank transfering and it has to be very secure and tigthy because of the US Government.

It will have to cost you the total sum of USD$2,650 ONLY.

So you have your choice to make right away and get back to me immediately so we can notify your bank immediately that we are about to transfer your fund into your nominated bank account and they will have you contacted immediately as well.

The payment will effect immediately as soon as these information are Received and your payment will be made to you in a CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT/BANK TO BANK TRANSFER and A copy will be sent to you for you to take to your Bank and confirm it, otherwise, a bank-to-bank transaction shall be used to remit the sum directly from the Central Bank into your nominated Bank Account, depending on the method you choose to receive Your payment. you are advised to get back to me immediately

Congratulations!
