Subject: IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR OVERDUE FUNDS
RE: IMMEDIATE RELEASE OF YOUR OVERDUE FUNDS
After a joint meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the Senate
Committee on Foreign Debts Reconciliation and the Presidential Payment and
Implementation Panel on Contract/ inheritance funds under Category ??which
was addressed and headed by the President of theFederal Republic of Nigeria,
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, it became imperative to contact you on the subject
matter. This meeting was initiated as part of the recent image laundering
scheme of the federal government of Nigeria.
During the meeting, so many negative reports were tabled on behalf of our
numerous contractors and foreign personels on how unfairly they have been
treated and extorted by some corrupt officials who were vested with the
authority to pay them their entitlements. The most annoying and irritating
aspect of it all is that they could not effect payment to these foreign
beneficiaries after subjecting them to so much stress and trauma.
To this regards, this office has been given the SOLE authority by the
President and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of the federal republic
of Nigeria to handle and release all contract/inheritance funds and you are
therefore advised NOT to contact ANY OTHER OFFICE to avoid further
complications in your payment file.
Every arrangement for the remittance of your overdue funds payment of US$22m
has been conluded and the funds will be released within 48 banking hours of
your response. All documentation to this effect is in place and we have
already prepared your key tested telex (KTT) for your transfer to your bank
account. In your file, we noticed that your designated bank account was not
included. Meanwhile, your are to furnish your current/existing banking
information, where you will like your Overdue Funds release payment to be
remitted to you and your funds will be in your account within 48 banking
hours as approved.
You are advised to reconfirm as well your transaction/contract
reference numbers, your private phone & fax numbers for security and
verification before effecting payment. This is to ensure that you are the
actual beneficiary of the funds as we do NOT want to pay thewrong person.
You are to contact this OFFICE as soon as you receive this message on via
for immediateremittance of your funds. I apologise on behalf of the Federal
Republic of Nigeria for the delay in your payment, and promise you that it
will never repeat itself again as we are into our new government.Your
response should be channeled to my alternate email account
at(frank_uba44@yahoo.com)
Best regards,
Mr Frank Uba
Financial Adviser To The president
On Foreign Contract Payment
