DEAR SIR.
AFTER A SERIOUS THOUGHT, I DECIDED TO REACH YOU DIRECTLY AND PERSONALLY, I AM THE DEPUTY GOVERNOR OF CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA. I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL WIRE/TELEX REMITTANCE TRANSACTION AT CBN. YOUR ASSOCIATES HERE COMPEL ME IN NIGERIA. OVER MY REFUSAL TO AUTHORISE REMITTANCE OF AN INFLATED CONTRACT SUM, WHICH IS FLOATING IN NIGERIA, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN) SUSPENSE ACCOUNT. YES, ALL BUREAUCRATIC PROCEDURE FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE FUND IS IN PLACE BUT IT CAME A LITTLE TOO LATE AFTER THE COMING INTO POWER OF THE PRESENT CIVILIAN ADMINSITRATION WHICH IS STAGING A FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION FROM ALL FRONT. INFACT, IT HAS SET UP A PROBE PANEL HEADED BY A RE-KNOWN ECONOMIST TO INVESTIGATE ALL CONTRACT AWARDED AND PAYMENT FOR CONTRACT FROM 1976 TO DATE. THIS DEVELOPMENT MAKES IT VERY RISKY TRYING TO REMIT THE FUND INTO YOUR ACCOUNT, YOU AND I, LIKEWISE YOUR PARTNERS HERE KNOW THAT YOU DID NOT EXECUTE THIS SAID CONTRACT FOR WHICH CLAIM IS BEING MADE.
IN VIEW OF THE ABOVE, I WILL SERIOUSLY ADVICE YOU TO HOLD ON FOR THE REMITTANCE NOW UNTIL WHEN THE RIGHT TIME COMES BECAUSE THERE IS NO WAY I WILL AUTHORISE SUCH PAYMENT THAT I WILL NOT BE PROBE, I CHERISHED MY JOB A LOT I AM AWARE THAT YOUR PARTNER HAVE BEEN PESTERING YOU WITH MONEY DEMAND TO OFFSET ONE OFFICIAL BILL OR TAX WHICH YOU OUGHT TO KNOW IS NOT CONVENTIONAL, ALL FINANCIALCOMMITMENT ON A FUND BENEFICIARY WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM THE SUM IN OUR POSSESSION BEFORE REMITTANCE, SO DON’T ALLOW THESE PARTNERS OF YOURS TO SWINDLE YOU OF YOUR MONEY ON THE PRETENCE OF OFFICIAL BUREAUCRACY, THEY KNOW WHAT IS HOLDING BACK THIS FUND. I HAVE TRIED TO MAKE YOUR PARTNERS REASON WITH ME WHY IT IS NOT REASONABLE AND REALISTIC TO REMIT THE FUND AT THIS JUNCTURE, BUT THEY DON’T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT BE ON THE SHOOTING LINE WHEN IT WILL BE DICTATED, THEY WANT ME TO PUT MY JOB AND YOUR BUSINESS ON THE LINE.
THE SECOND REASON WHY I DECIDED TO CONTACT YOU IS, IBELIEVE YOU AS A BUSINESSMAN WORTH DEALING WITH CONSIDERING YOUR MATERIAL AND HUMAN RESOURCES INVESTED SO FAR IN THAT TRANSACTION. I ADMIRE YOUR PATIENCE AND RESILIENCE, WHICH YOUR PARTNER LACKS; THEY ARE NOT GOOD READERS OF EVENTS AND TIME. SO FOR POSSESSING THIS GOLDEN QUALITIES, I FEEL CONFIDENT INTRODUCTING YOU TO ANOTHER BUSINESS FROM WHICH YOU WILL NOT ONLY RECOUP YOUR INVESTMENTS INTO THE PREVIOUS SUSPENDED TRANSACTION BUT WILL BENEFIT IMMEDIATELY FROM. BY VIRTURE OF MY POSITION, I WAS APPROACHED BY MRS JUMAI GWARZO. THE WIFE OF MY FRIEND ALHAJI ISMAILA GWARZO, THE FORM ER CHIEF SECURITY OFFICER TO OUR LATE HEAD OF STATE, GEN SANI ABACHA WHO IS PRESENTLY UNDER HOUSE ARREST IN FINANCIAL CRIME/LOOTING OF GOVERNMENT TREASURY, SHE INFORMED ME ABOUT SOME HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AMOUNTING TO SIXTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS (US$60,000.000.00) CASH LODGED IN A SECURITY FINANCIAL COMPANY IN BENIN REPUBLIC WHICH HAS AN
AFFLIATED IN EUROPE, FOR SAFE KEEPING PENDING THE RELEASE OF HER HUSBAND. SHE SAID THE MONEY WAS PART OF WHAT HER HUSBAND MADE WHEN HE WAS THE CHIEF SECURITY/FINANCIAL ADIVSER TO OUR LATE HEAD OF STATE. AFTER HER LAST DISCUSSION WITH HER HUSBAND ALHAJI GWARZO, SHE WAS INSTRUCTED TO CONTACT ME TO USE MY OFFICE TO ASSIST HER LOOK FOR A RELIABLE/TRUST WORTHY PERSON WHO WILL PROVIDE AN ACCOUNT AND COLLECT THE CASH. FOR ME I FIND IT PERTINENT TO INVOLVE YOU BECAUSE FOR YOU TO MUST HAVE AGREED IN THE OTHER BUSINESS WHICH YOU HAVE LOST SO MUCH MONEY, TIME AND ENERGY THIS IS A WAY TO RECOVER WHAT YOU HAD SPENT. I ASKED HER THE POSSIBILITIES OF THE TRANSACTION, WHAT YOU ARE SUPPOSE TO DO AND WHAT NOT, SHE SAID THAT YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO VISIT COTONUO, BENIN REPUBLIC OR THEIR EUROPIAN CORRESPONDENCE TO OPEN A NON –RESIDENTIAL ACCOUNT AND THAT WILL ALSO GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY TO MEET WITH HER FACE TO FACE TO DISCUSS OTHER FORMALITIES. SHE MADE ME TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS NO
BUREAUCRACY AT ALL, SHE SAID THE TRANSACTION IS RISK FREE AND LESS EXPENSIVE, THE ONLY EXPENSES SHE FORESEES ARE:
(1) THE MONEY YOU WILL USE IN OPENING AN ACCOUNT.(2) YOUR FLIGHT FARE TO REPUBLIC OF BENIN.
I AM WRITING THIS MESSAGE TO HELP OUT BECAUSE I AM AWARE OF YOUR FINANCIAL COMMITMENTS IN PURSUIT OF THE OVER-INVOICED CONTRACT SUM. THEREFORE, I WILL ADVICE YOU TO COME AND COLLECT THIS CASH. THE GWARZO FAMILY WILL COMPENSATE ME. I ASKED HER AGAIN HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE TO CONCLUDE THE BUSINESS SHE SAID AS SOON AS YOU INDICATE YOUR INTEREST; EVERYTHING WILL BE OVER WITHIN SEVEN (7) WORKING DAYS. PLEASE ENDEAVOUR TO REPLY VIA MY EMAIL ADDRESS OR CALL ME ON MY MOBILE NUMBER: 234-1-721-2863 RECIPT OF THIS MESSAGE TO ENABLE ME NOTIFY HER, THEN HOLD A TELEPHONE MEETING BETWEEN YOU AND HER TO DISCUSS THE SHARING MODALITIES.
THANKS AND YOURS SINCERELY,
DR USMAN SHAMSUDEEN.
N.B: MY OFFICE IS NOT AWARE OF THIS, SO KEEP IT HIGHLY CONFIDENTIAL FOR MY SAKE.
