Hello,
Following the resolutions reached at the current meeting of the ECOWAS HEADS
OF STATES held in the h/q of Ecowas, Abuja recently and a follow up meeting
of the Ecowas council of Finance Ministers held in Abuja Nigeria as a result
of petitions and counter petitions by foreign contractors/Inheritance over
non-payment of their contract/inheritance funds, this office has been set
up and empowered by the entire Ecowas governments backed up by the American
government, to look into all denied and overdue contract/inheritance
payments not yet honored and effect payment immediately where
necessary through fund and medium set up for this purpose by the Ecowas
governments.
Your name is among the list of beneficiaries the task force has mapped out
to be paid immediately, since we have carried out verifications successfully
on your matter and have found out that you are entitled to your contract
claim but have been badly treated and robbed so much money, under the false
pretence that they would transfer the contract fund, your right to you. This
task force is set up to uncover such abnormalities and make necessary
compensations to victims.
Our investigations have so far revealed all information’s about most people
that were involved in the transaction and their ugly roles towards obtaining
money falsely from you and deliberately delaying your payment and
consequently trying to divert the inheritance fund payment to their purse.
Our investigations on your inheritance took us far and wide with lots of
revelations on how you were cheated.
Our investigations have so far revealed all information’s about people that
were involved in the transaction and their ugly roles towards obtaining
money under false pretence from you and consequent delay of your payment. To
sum it up, you fell into the hands of SCAMMERS who wanted after obtaining
all the money with you, they would now claim and sit on your contract claim.
Your contract fund never at any time left the shores of Africa. London was
the design they used in falsely obtaining money from you. God saved you as
you stopped to continue paying them; game plan was to fraudulently siphon
all your money by obtaining it under the false pretence that they were going
to transfer the inheritance to you. This is to weaken your financial
standing.
For your information, the aim of your so-called colleagues in Nigeria, from
the beginning is to use you in securing the contract claim and sit on the
money at last. This is why they conspired and connived with people here and
there, in the bid to rip money off you and render you penniless by all
means, so that you will not have any financial backing to make trouble with
them when at last you find out that they have claimed and are sitting on
your contract fund.
Your contract fund is firm; this is going by our current mock
investigations. After our full verifications on this your issue, we shall
then determine and recommend the appropriate punishment for your scam
partners. We have completed all that is necessary about your contract claim
and your payment. We have found you genuine on your claim and only need a
reconfirmation; therefore we regret to apologize on behalf of this sub
region for all the inconveniences you encountered On your road so far for
this claim and at the same
time, we are happy to inform you of the committee’s readiness to effect your
payment immediately without further delay, having discovered all the bad
treatments so far that have been meted to you.
We have resolved to pay you immediately according to the directives and
mandate from the Ecowas heads of states and council of the ecowas finance
ministers. Immediately we hear from you, we shall give directives to you on
how to receive your fund. You will be
directed to contact the Correspondent payment office, for the immediate
payment of your inheritance fund. The sub regional (Ecowas) governments in
conjunction with the American and British government have arranged with the
United Nations for assistance in compensations to proven delayed or
non-payment to contractors/inheritors or Scam victims.
Thanking you for your patience.
Yours faithfully,
Ahmed Kurutum.
