Subject: VERY URGENT
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE
GARKI - ABUJA
Date: 13th Oct, 05
Dear Contractor
May l take the pleasure to introduce myself as Dr (Mrs.) Ngozi Okonjo Iweala
lam the new minister of finance and Economic Development of Nigeria? I am
contacting you with respect to irregularities detected in the processing of
the transfer of funds you are expecting from Nigeria. As you may know, there
is a new financial law stipulating that every international transfer
emanating from both private Banks and Government Institutions in Nigeria,
with value of US$1 Million and above, must be controlled by the finance
Ministry, and must be personally endorsed by me. This is with a view of
tacking Identified irregularities that have militated against the
realization of such transfers.
Since your transfer is over US$1Milion, it falls under my jurisdiction.
However, a study of your transfer history and file, Shows clearly that your
transfer cannot be realized under its present status, as it has been
subjected to serious irregularities by the institutions involved in its
initial processing, and by your Nigerian partners who may have extorted
non-existent fees from you. The provisions of the newly promulgated”
International transfer clearance Edict 117 (1) of 2005” is instructive here.
Based on the above, l would have ordered that your transfer process be
started all over again. But for the rough experience you may have had in
this pursuit, l will oblige you with the privilege of regularizing and
legalizing your transfer through the authentic Official process reserved
only for priority Federal International Transfers.
By this process, you would be required to sign a set of Original Transfer
Agreement, and Transfer Release Order to be issued by the presidency, and
Central Bank of Nigeria respectively, to override the detected irregularity.
I am Volunteering to assist you in obtaining these original Hard Cover
Transfer Documents, after wish you will be invited to personally come to my
office and sign the documents, in the company of the representative of the
presidency, the CBN, original Transfer Documents to be posted to you by DHL
courier, for your endorsement and return. Your transfer will automatically
follow after the signing protocol. L will give you further details on your
response.
If l am to assist you as stated above, my nonnegotiable condition are as
follows: Due to the sensitive nature of my position in Government, l do not
want any publicity of any sort. There toe you must issue a 100% assurance
that you will stop all forms of communication with everyone you have dealt
with in the pass, you must also assure me in writing that you will
compensate me appropriately after l have delivered your transfer to your
bank account.
If the two above conditions are acceptable to you, l will honestly advise
you to consider your transfer as successfully completed no matter what
obstacles you may have experienced in the past. I will proceed to obtain the
vital Transfer Original Documents for your endorsement. I will advise you to
contact my secretary on his Direct Telephone 234-8034414574 for more
details.
Best Regards,
DR. MRS. NGOZI OKONJO IWALA
FINANCE MINISTER
