Subject: RE: YOUR UNCLAIMED INHERITANCE/ CONTRACT PAYMENT
FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA
Office of the secretary of the Government.

Abuja Nigeria.
Telefax: 234-1-760-5995 Date: 04-10-2007
Attention:
Sir,
RE: YOUR UNCLAIMED INHERITANCE/ CONTRACT PAYMENT
Be inform that the Fedral government of Nigeria has resolved to make sure that all foreign contract/ inheritance beneficiaries receive their payment in the last quarter of this fiscal year.
we are aware of the different fees you have been asked to pay to facilitate the release of your payment. However, all those payments you made did not go to the appropriate quarters and that is why your fund is still on hold. All such payment must be made to the appropriate quarters before your fund would be released to you. It is understood that a lot of beneficiaries of contract payments/inheritance claims are already bankrupt and would not be able come up with these fees at this time. Therefore, the Federal Government of Nigeria has come up with an interest free loan programe to enable beneficiaries like you meet payment of these fees. In this bid, we shall link you to our fiduciary agent either in the US or Canada who is to loan you the amount you require to pay these fees. There is no need for you to present any collateral as the Government here is your guaranttee for the loan.
please also note that the funds that are being facilitated by the investors to offset the said charges have a zero liability and the Government did not provide any collateral to secure the funds except the guarantee, the investors have insisted that the funds will only be paid into any line of credit account and that they will not pay the money into a regular chequeing account and this is due to their insurance policy put in place to guide against lost of their funds. If you are prepared to take the loan and pay back when you receive your fund, do get back to me. Please note that your payment would strictly be under my supervision and I will make sure your fund is released to you once you take the loan and pay the said fees. I await your response on this issue.
Alhaji Babagana Kingibe: (Secretary, FGN)
