Subject: more details
Dear VICTIMNAME,
Thank you for the response to my proposal. Now having read your response and your enthusiasm to assist us conclude this transaction successfully, my partners and I have therefore decided to give you more details and also the modalities for a speedy realization of the transaction. We are doing this in conformity with our desire to enjoy the proceeds of this transaction with absolute peace of mind after the successful transfer of the stated sum into your nominated account. I understand and appreciate if you are worried about the transaction as a result of the unusual nature. My friend I can only say that you should not be and I believe and hope that once you have read through my letter to you, you will be able to understand clearly that this transaction is God-sent. I assure you that you have nothing to worry about as our only interest is to have this money transferred out into your account for our mutual (you and I) benefit.
However, before proceeding to give you details of the project and the modalities for its conclusion, it is pertinent to address a very important issue, which if not properly tackled, could cause an impediment to the progress of this transaction. This issue is
confidentiality. We believe that its importance cannot be overemphasized, taking into consideration the very nature of this transaction. Very many people in my country and I'm sure also in yours, will do a lot of things to get their hands on the kind of money we are talking about so we must exercise all forms of caution. As top government functionaries who are about to retire, we have to keep this transaction strictly confidential so as to protect our future and personal integrity. We hereby reassure you as the originators of the pending project that if you follow our instructions religiously, accordingly and promptly, the project will be 100% completed in at most 7 to 10 banking days from the receipt of your requirements. Under our perfected modalities for a prompt finalization of the project, it is absolutely risk-free and fail-proof. We realize the necessity of confidence and trust as reposed on us all as partners, being necessary for building the solidarity disposition to be maintained by us in the furt
herance of the prompt realization of our desire. In total recognition of this spirit, we guarantee to you, that neither your interest nor that of your company will be brought to odiom by reason of this project. You can count absolutely on this as we will not let you down. You have to also understand that from our own end, we do not also know you and we are relying on the good judgment of our trust in your recommendation. Notwithstanding, I am aware that the sum of money we are talking about can make many a man behave in a manner he is not usually associated with. You can therefore understand that both parties involved in this are depending mainly on faith. In these days and times this is rather insubstantial but, my friend, we have no choice. We are ready to take the risk, as we believe it is worth it.
To meet with the total guarantee given above, it is absolutely essential for us to officialise the process of the funds transfer, making it take the semblance of a transfer of contractual payment for a contract, which under our modalities will be officially perceived to have been executed by your company for the FEDERAL MINISTRY OF MINING &RESOURCES (FMOMR), while the very nature of this project as an organised deal, will remain in our(partners only) exclusive knowledge. This transaction cannot be solely carried out by us as We are presently handicapped because we lack a viable partner who has a foreign account and is ready to assist us in finalizing this urgent business, this is due to restive laws of the Federal Civil Service of Zambia which forbids us government workers from having and operating foreign accounts. By virtue of our position( Contract Awards/Review and Monitoring Committee) it is ordinarily and exclusively our duty to validate all payments of contractual moneys to contractors for contracts
executed for all Federal Statutory Corporation of our past regime.
STAGE 1.
To commence this project, with your sent-in banking information ( it does not matter if you have money in the account or not, infact we prefer a zero-based account. All that matters is that you have absolute control of the account), we shall put up a payment claims application to the FMOMR issuing the mandatory fund release approval/recommendations in your favor prior to the remittance of the funds to your nominated bank account.
We shall also register your company or any business name you choose and pay the necessary tax for this over here as required by law. All these shall be backdated. On paper, we shall ensure that it appears your company carried out the contract.
STAGE 11
This is the most important, difficult and delicate aspect of the project because it is at this stage that the all-important and vital fund release approval/recommendations from the Federal Ministry of Finance are issued. Once they are issued, it means that over 80% of the process of the fund transfer has been concluded. However, you can be rest assured that we have set up a perfect machinery in motion to ensure that they are issued in your favour without fail. Infact the respective Directors-general in charge of the respective ministries responsible for the issuance of these fund release approvals/recommendations have committed themselves to issuing these approvals.
STAGE III
>From our enquiries so far, we are reliably informed that in accordance with foreign payments regulations and guidelines (as promulgated in Decree 21 of 1979, reflecting Zambian Contract Law/Payment Act 2, Sub-section 4-5 and as amended in September 1994), beneficiaries at the final stage of their contract payments are expected to come forward to the office of the Foreign Operations Department of the Central Bank of Zambia for proper identification as the recognised beneficiary. This will enable the said beneficiary to observe the Central Bank Foreign Operations Department final clearance formalities and subsequently sign the Central Bank of Zambia Irrevocable/Unconditional final fund release documents, for remittance to be effected in favour of the beneficiary. From the foregoing, you are expected to come forward to the Central Bank premises for the required final formalities. But we have been reliably informed that in most cases, during such final formalities,beneficiaries are also requested to take the s
upervising bank officials to the contract site for a final job inspection and in line with these procedures, we strongly advise against coming down to observe the said final formalities in Nigeria because such arrangement will not be favourable since you did not actually execute any contracts in Zambia.
However, the Provision Ordinance Act on foreign payment guidelines permits beneficiaries to observe their final signing of their fund release documents via any of the following options.
OPTION 1.
The Federal Government of my country in accordance with the Debt Management Department (DMD) has a new provision in the constitution of my country, where by a foreign contractor that is unable to come to the office of the DMD here in Zambia for authentification and Verification on health grounds can be exempted and allowed to use any of their offshore Centres spread across the globe that is operational as at the time of request.
OPTION 2.
The new constitution also gives room for a contractor to secure the services of a legal representative to endorse the release documents on his behalf. The attorney must however be a Federal Government Accredited Attorney.
OPTION 3.
This final option allows that you can apply to the DMD for the Final fund Release Document to be sent to you in your office in your country of residence and you will endorse the documents and send it back to the CBZ.
>From the above options I will want you to choose the one that will be convenient for you so that we can start working on that option immediately as you know we have limited time to conclude this project, once you indicate this, I will secure a text application you will use in making the application. The DMD is an independent arm of the Central Bank of Zambia. It was set up by the Federal Government of Zambia to reconcile debts owed to foreign contractors,and subsequently instruct the Central Bank for release and remittance of such funds to the beneficiary's nominated account upon signing the final fund release documents using any of the above options. This arrangement is for contractors who by circumstances beyond their control cannot come to Zambia for the signing of the final fund release documents. On approval of the application by DMD, the fund will be transferred and confirmed within 72 hours after the endorsement exercise is completed. The DMD options are what we intend to take advantage of as it wil
l be more relaxed and will definitely be devoid of unnecessary bureaucracy as may be the case with signing in DMD premises in Zambia.
Full audit report will normally be sent with the wire-transfer papers to your bank from the Central Bank. This will handle source and application of the incoming money and explain all tax details to your revenue service. So you do not need to worry about discussing with anybody for now. Just maintain the required confidentiality and the project will be successfully concluded.
Finally send me your full names and telephone numbers so that I can start processing all the necessary documents needed.
I await urgent response from you,
Regards,
Kelo Mfaki
