MR. JAMES KELECHI
REMITTANCE DEPT,
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
MARINA, LAGOS. NIGERIA.
ALTERNATIVE EMAIL: jkelechi@plasa.com
I am wishing you, the best for the day.
I am writing this mail to seek your consent in a mutual business concern.
I know you might have been receiving mails as this but please this is real
and genuine. I pray that you give me the opportunity to prove myself. It
involves certain contract amount approved again for payment to ZPower Corporation,
5025 North Central #414Phoenix, Arizona 85012, USA for a contract already
executed and the actual contract sum paid for, to the original contractor
without proper investigation by the relevant authorities in my country.
This is open for your investigation and confirmation from the company mentioned
if you so wish.
But as the Director of Remittance in our Central Bank, my office was saddled
with the responsibility to properly investigate the veracity of the claim
before releasing the fund to the claimants. This is because we had mistakenly
paid out so much millions of dollars in the past to fake contractors who
did not execute any contract in our country. In the cause of our investigation
we found out that the above-mentioned company did not execute any contract.
But rather were collaborating with former officials of the ministry where
the contract was executed to transfer an over invoiced amount in the original
contract amount which have since been paid to the main contractor. We know
about this when the contractor failed to produce evident to show the award
and execution of the said contract to them. They could not produce relevant
documents like the Contract Completion Certificate issued to them by the
ministry when the contract was completed. When they noticed we have found
out they are fake contractors, they stopped the pursuit of the payment while
the fund was left in our escrow account unclaimed for months without anybody
coming for it. After several months of it being in this escrow account without
any claimant I use my position to arrange and move the fund and deposit
it with a security company as consignments for safe keeping pending when
I could get a trust worthy person to collaborate with for its claim for
our mutual
benefits as we are not allowed as civil servants by our law to own or operate
foreign accounts. For security reasons and to prevent trace of this fund,
I instructed the security company to strictly keep my dealings with them
as highly confidential.
Now I am soliciting for your assistance and cooperation to go and claim
this fund as the actual beneficiary for our mutual benefits. Please note
that there is absolutely no risk involved in this transaction as the fund
has already been move out of the shores of Nigeria and there is no trace
to it. All the relevant documents that will give you access to claim out
the fund as the beneficiary of the consignment/fund deposited shall be legally
prepared/processed and secured in your name. If you are ready to collaborate
with me for the success of this project, please kindly indicate so in your
reply. I shall give you more details and the procedure to realize it as
soon as you indicate your sincere interest to work with me. Do not hesitate
to ask for more explanations where necessary. Please reply through my personal
email address: jkelechi@plasa.com.
Once again I wish you success in your endeavors.
Yours truly,
James Kelechi.
Director, Remittance Dept. CBN
