From: UBA WILLIAMA <uba_williama@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 18:47:17 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: ATTN: CONCERNED BENEFICIARY. ATTN:VICTIM-FULLNAME
THE PRESIDENCY
FOREIGN CONTRACT VERIFICATION & TRANSFER
COMMITTEE LAGOS LIAISON OFFICE
TEL: 234-1-7903458
Date: 28th /06 /2006
ATTN: VICTIM-FULLNAME,
ATTN: CONCERNED BENEFICIARY.
SUB: ALLOCATED PAYMENT/TRANSFER OF $ 9 MILLION.
After a careful verification on your contract file through our central computer monitoring index as mandated by the presidency, I discovered that it shall take a long process for your payment to be released due to some abnormalities detected in your contract file, during the secret verification process. I realized that you have spent so much money in trying to actualize your goal of been paid which did not even reflect in your file, but I have an offer that might interest you which will at least sustain you financially pending when you receive your contract payment. This offer arose from the Federal Government reserve vault under my care. It is a total sum of us$ 9.000, 000.00 (Nine million United States dollars only), which will be shared between you and I in the ratio of 50%-50%.
This amount is not from your contract sum or has any thing related to your contract payment, rather it is a left over from the allocated sum used in paying local and foreign contractors and it is directly under my custody. I am offering you this because I have seen that you are a committed contractor and your contract funds will not be released on time until all the abnormalities are rectified.
The only thing needed for this us$ 9 million to be swiftly wired into your account under 72 hours is a bank account, which is different from what you already have in your contract file which we shall legally accredited / normalize at the Federal High Court of Justice as a diplomatic account in accordance to the rules and regulation of the Federal Government’s Financial act as amended by fund-in-transit act of 2000. Already all modalities are in place to register this transaction as a diplomatic compensation.
Be adequately informed that this is not a contract payment therefore there will be no bureaucracy or misfortune.
Please note that if you desire to accomplish this transaction with me, just reach me immediately on the above telephone and fax numbers furnishing me with your updated bank account and just be rest assured that this transaction will take us just 72 hours to be consummated provided you are committed to work with me.
Sincere wishes and best regards,
DR.UBA WILLIAMS
(PRIORITY PAYMENT OFFICIER)
