Subject: THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER CONCERNING YOUR FUND DELAY
Attn: Dear Friend, I am Dr. Dennis Mmadueke, the Permanent Secretary of the Federal Ministry Of Finance (FOF), Nigeria. I know your local representatives must have told you about me while they were trying to assist you to get your fund transfered abroad.
First and foremost, I must apologize for whatever inconveniences and problems my action may have caused you regarding all your efforts to have your fund transfered to you. Your local representatives came to me and explained to me that they want to use you to have a huge sum of Contract Fund trapped in one of the Banks here in Nigeria transfered abroad. Though, your represenatives are the cause of the whole problem because they felt the could be smart enough to cheat me, but I use the power of my office to stop your payment because they were not sincere to me and probably to you. They wanted me to use my authority in my Ministry to amend and sign some relevant documents which will enable the fund be releaseed to your nominated account and we agreed that they will pay me the sum of $300,000 after procuring and signing those documentations involve but when they saw that I was almost through with documentations, they did not honour their own side of the agreement and went to Central Bank Of Nigeria(CBN) without my consent in order to have the fund released to you. Then when CBN brought your file to my office for the release of IRREVOCABLE STANDING PAYMENT ORDER(ISPO) which will make the CBN transfer your fund to you without forthwith, I personally stopped the transfer of your fund because the breach of contract from your representatives here in Nigeria. Your representatives are not sincere after all what I did for them and they wanted to sit on my own effort. I know that they (your local representatives) must have been collecting money from you with the promise that your fund will be released to you but let me tell you that without my office, there's no way the IRREVOCABLE STANDING PAYMENT ORDER will be given to CBN to make the transfer. Therefore, now your local representatives are no more coming to my office I have decided to contact you to have a proper discussions with you as matured minds so that we can get the trapped fund transfered to your account, now a new civilian Government has been elected in Nigeria and the new President assured all it's Foreign Contractors and Next Of Kin Beneficiaries during his inagural speech his readiness to pay all the outstanding debts. He belive that before a new contract will be awarded, the Nigeria has to offset it's outstanding debts and to demonstrate his readiness to pay all the outstanding debt, he has set up Outstanding Debt Payment Review Committee(ODPRC), headed by Rev. Bishop Mike Ibekwe. The reason why I really want to assist is, because I know you must have spent alot without having your fund in your account as they promised you. Note that I am not more interested in $300,000 which I earlier demanded from your representatives but if you are ready to give me 25% of the total fund involve after the fund's successfully been transfered to your account, I will make sure that you are one of the first people to be paid this month. Be informed that before I commence action towards making sure that your fund's released to you, you will have to make a written and duely signed undertaken, that you are not going to play pranks on me when you have this fund in your nominated account. You will also promise me now that I am fully involve, that you will not have anything to do with those cheats and greedy men which you regard as your representatives here or any other person. You will henceforth cease to contact any person via email or answer any call from Nigeria unless the office I may introduce you in the course of this. Note that if you are ready to adhere to these simple instructions, please get back to me immediately so that I will explain the way to have this fund transfered to you in details.
I wait to recieve your most and anticipated urgent response. Regards, Dr. Dennis Mmadueke
