I am Mr.Olu Adeniji, Minister Foreign Affairs Ministry, my office monitors
and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Nigeria
concerned with foreign contract/inheritance 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/inheritance 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.
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 four
days ago from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments/Foreign Debts to
submit the List of payment reports/expenditures and audited reports of
revenues.
Among several others.
The deal here now is that if you agree to my terms and conditions as stated
below,then i will re-profile one of the files that contains the amount of
$27.5musd to your name and favour as the beneficiary of the fund and will
proceed to file an application for payment approval to the senate comittee
on finance and appropriation,to enable this fund released into your
account.Upon this approval the fund will be released into your account by
the bank that will be designated to effect the payment by the senate.
I want to assure you that there are no illegal implications involved in this
matter,hence i will be doing everything here in a legal platform.
MY CONDITIONS
