APPROPRIATE QUARTERS
1TH AUGUST 2006
Good day dear,
Following the outcome of the meeting held recently with the World Bank
and the Federal Government of Nigeria on the issue of foreign
inheritance payment consensus was reached and attention given to the report
reaching us about the activities of some officials of the Central Bank of
Nigeria who are in the habit of diverting contractors/inheritance
payment and frustrating them by imposing unnecessary charges on them making
it difficult for them to receive their payments. The entire allegation
leveled against CBN consequently compelled us to stop the Central Bank
of Nigeria paying contractor’s payment.
This development has been reported to MR. PRESIDENT, CHIEF OLUSEGUN
OBASANJO who is not happy with such actions as they were meant to tarnish
the image of the beloved country. He has therefore given instruction
that all foreign contractors/inheritance should henceforth stop going
through the CBN officials or any other bank here in Nigeria to pursue
their contract claim.
Any contractor/inheritance going through the CBN or any other bank in
Nigeria is doing that at his or her own peril or palaver.
The United Nations Organization body after an in-depth and pains taking
study of your financial and psychological predicament in receiving your
fund in the last few years, hereby this year 2006 resolved that
immediate and unconditional payment release be effected to you via the World
Bank (world Bank Committee On Foreign Contractors Payment). This
decision is based on memorandum of understanding signed with the above
mentioned Committee and us in our capacity as professional have mandated and
empowered the Committee to solely handle all foreign contractual payment
and other external debt services exercise as a trusted corporation.

reconfirm your banking details in your contact to the World Bank of
London for them to cross check this submitted bank details of yours as
forwarded to them to Ensure accuracy.

foreign payment transfer department of World Bank PLC in the United Kingdom
