At maturity of the contract in May 2000,several attempts were made without success to contact Mr. Reginald Smith or any of his relatives in whose favour the cash value could be made to.
As the Head of accounts in the Department, I have with my project manager Mr. Merut Moweni carefully initiated the process of filing a claim for the money with the hope of having the Fund Transferred abroad for investment on our behalf. As a matter of fact, we would to reach an agreement with you to arrange payment of the claim in your name. We require that you let us prepare and file the claim for the money from this Department indicating your name as the appointed beneficiary of the Fund.

The need to contact you however, is because the money cannot go into indigenous accounts because the Code of Conduct (COC) of the Federal Civil Service Commission here in the Republic. It is imperative to usher you in as a foreign partner so as to avoid suspicion from unconcerned quarters and most importantly, for fear of loosing our jobs.
Meanwhile, I demand that you keep this transaction very private and confidential in view of our personal involvements. Full details of the processes for the claim will be provided as soon as we receive your response and acceptance to be part of this agreement.
