MR. JAMES KELECHI
REMITTANCE DEPT,
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
MARINA, LAGOS. NIGERIA.
ALTERNATIVE EMAIL: jnwachukwu@teenmail.co.za
I am wishing you, the best for the day and happy New Year
in arrears.
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
above if you so wish.
But as a staff in the Remittance Department of our Central Bank, our department
was saddled with the responsibility of
investigating 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 were rather 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 confirmed this when the contractor
failed to produce evident of 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 has been 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
arranged and moved the fund and deposited 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 use your name
to claim this fund as the actual beneficiary for our mutual benefits. This
is because we are not allowed as civil servants by our law to own or operate
foreign accounts. Please note that there is absolutely no risks involved
in this transaction as the relevant authorities have already approve it
for transfer. All the relevant documents that will give you access to claim
out the fund, as the beneficiary of the fund 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 strictly through my personal email address: jnwachukwu@teenmail.co.za.
Once again I wish you success in your endeavors.
Yours truly,
James Kelechi.
Remittance Dept. CBN
