Re: PAYMENT SOLUTION
I am Hon. Dr. Adeniji Olu, Minister Foreign Affairs Ministry; my office
monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and
financial institutions in Nigeria concerned with foreign contract 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 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. Your name was among the people expecting the funds to be
transferred into their account, on this note; I wish to have a deal with you
as regards to your unpaid funds. I have your file before me and hope your
data's are correct and un-tampered unless u reconfirms it.
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 2
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, I have decided to remit your contract sum following my
idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally.
MY CONDITIONS
1. The sum of USD$5M only will be paid into an account I will provide you
after you have confirmed the transfer of your sum into your account by
telegraphic Transfer (T/T), confirmable in 3working days.
2. This deal must be kept secret forever, and all correspondence will be
strictly by email / telephone, for security
purposes.
3. There should be no third parties as most problem associated with your
fund release are caused by your agents or
representative.
If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and
the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name
on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the three days mandate. I hope you
don't reject this offer and have your funds transferred.
Waiting for your reply soon.
