Dear Contractor,
This is to inform you that by a legislative resolution reached on the 2nd of March 2006, following complaints and petitions received by the Presidency/Minister of Finance from both local and foreign contractors over the non-payment of their over due contract claim, and the decision taken after due consultation with the World Bank, IMF and the European Union (EU) this commission on fact finding on contract awards and payments was inaugurated to ascertain how genuine the petitions were and to recommend a final solution to it.
We are pleased to inform you that we have verified every aspect of your payment and have submitted a written report to the minister. This commission has validated your contract and shall transfer your payment upon receiving your confirmation because there are some mix-up in your payment details.
There is also a British Bank Account information from a thirdparty, who claim to be your foreign partner, thereby contradicting your earlier account details forwarded to us. Therefore, additional clarification is required.
PLEASE CLARIFY THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION;
1. Did you at any point transfer your debt claim to one Mr. Fernandez Gomez whose bank name and account number is written below, to claim and receive the payment on your behalf?

You are required as a matter of urgency to confirm the legitimacy of the above claim and the reason for such change. In the event where you did not authorize such claim, please Confirm to us immediately by stating your authentic account details, contract number and amount for authentication and normalization through this email address hereinstated.
All letters must be directed to the Chairman of the commission DR. AUDU AHMED and you are to submit this authentication before the transfer will be effected as we are bound to recognize Mr. Fernandez Gomez's claims and release the said payment if we do not receive your submission to this enquiry as quickly as possible.
