The preposition:
Recently, the senate committee on contract, awards/payment,
passed a
bill into the federal house of assembly. The bill was
endorse by the
President Chief Olusegun A. Obasanjo G.C.F.R. The bill is
for allocation of
funds dept verification and cancelation
which is assisted by the International Monetary fund (IMF)
world bank.
this exercise will also cover the immediate approval and
payment to all
contractors being owed by the federal government. This is
also to pave
way for new contracts to be awarded. The
new development is the long opportunity myself and two of
my colleague
in this agency have been waiting for nearly two years now
to get rid of
a particular fund that has been lying dormant under our
wacthful eyes,
so as to better our lives and
that of our families.
in 1997 a foreigner ENGR. Jurgen Mertz based in Tunisia was
awarded a
contract of US$255,000,000 by the NNPC to supply equipment
for the
repairs of some pipelines in the Niger Delta region of the
country, which
he fully executed and completed but was still been owed an
oustanding
balance of US$32.500,000.
In the year 2002 ENGR. Jurgen F. Mertz was reported to be
invovlve in
an Egypt plane crash while returning from a business trip
to his country
base in Tunisia. The plane was said to crashed near the
tunis boarder.
Unfortunately ENGR Jurgen F. Mertz. was
among the 20 that died in the crash. He died as a result of
the shock:
News on the plane crash can still be seenon BBC world news:

Immediately we recieve the news of the death of our
contractor we
immediately decided to reach his family memebers but
unfortunately all
effort to locate any of his relatives proofed abortive. We
then decided
to reach his next of kin through the information contained
in the
contract that was awarded to him, but unfortunately untill
his death he left
no name in the next of kin column of th
e documents file covering the contract and payment. Records
of All the
documents covering the said contract and subsequent
payments he
received is in our record department headed by one of my
colleague who is also
involve in this transaction.
It is in respect of the above information that we decided
to seek your

balance of
US$32.5M to be approved for payment to him. Since the said
contract was

will be
discussed upon my receipt of your favourable response.
