Re: PAYMENT SOLUTION
I am Hon. Dr. Adeniji Olu, Minister Foreign Affairs Ministry; my office
monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial
institutions in Nigeria concerned with foreign contract payments. I am
the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving
within banks both on the local and international levels in line to
foreign contracts settlement.
I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as
ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc. I wish to have a deal with you as regards to this transaction.
As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed deposits, I have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received 2 days ago from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments /Foreign Debts ! to submit the List of payment reports /expenditures and audited reports of revenues.
As a civil servant we do not have the necessary machinery to
successfully handle this transaction,therefore it becomes necessary to source for a foreign company or an individual with the capability to act as the original beneficiary or the contractors . I have decided to remit this unpaid contract sum following my idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally.
MY CONDITIONS
1. The sum of USD$5M only will be paid into an account which you will provide which will be transfered through a telegraphic Transfer (T/T).
2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.my colleague and i have decided to share this money in the following ratio:60% for my colleagues and i, 30% for you as the acoount oener and 10% for all local and international expenses that may arise in course of this
transaction.
3. There should be no third parties as most problem associated with fund release are caused by agents or representative.
If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the fourteen days mandate. I hope you don't reject this offer and have this funds transferred! .
Waiting for your reply soon.
HON. DR. ADENIJI OLU
FOREIGN AFFAIRS MINISTER.
