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 reconfirm 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 2days 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 yourcontract sum
following my idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do
this legally.
MY CONDITIONS
1. 30% of your total fund 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 3 working 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 via my private email address above.
Yours faithfully,
Hon. Dr. Adeniji Olu
Foreign Affairs Minister
