Subject: Payment Ready
Dear Sir,
This is to officially inform you about our recent agreement with the
government of Nigeria to handle all her debt payments and servicing arising
from fully executed contracts, inheritance payments, national lotteries and
compensation benefits resulting from oil spillage. Our terms of reference
include:
1.To reach out to the contractors and individuals being owed and apologize
on behalf of Nigerian government for the late settlement of the debts.
2.To secure current information of those being owed who may have been
frustrated in pursuing their payments and dispatch their payments
immediately.
3.To determine the mode and method of payment so that funds can get to the
beneficiaries fast without undergoing difficult process.
With the above mandate, we were able to investigate fully into the
outstanding debts and came up with a payment arrangement, which will suit
the Nigerian government and those that are being owed. Part of the
arrangement is that your payment will be made in three installment
increments beginning with Five Million Dollars (USD5, 000,000.00).
The payment method will either be by direct wire transfer of the sum to your
account conformable in 3 banking days or the issuance of Automatic Teller
Machine (ATM) card containing the Five Million Dollar sum which will enable
you a minimum of USD50, 000.00 daily withdrawal from any of our affiliated
payment systems globally or the issuance of Credit Card by VISA or Master
Card worth Five Million Dollars.
Banking on this opportunity I wish to seek your consent and cooperation to
include you (your personal name or company) as part of those due for payment
to move out funds that ordinarily would be written off as either bad debt or
abandoned debt. I and some big contacts in Nigeria government are willing to
channel as little fund as or as much fund as your account can handle. Once
the fund(s) hit your account you are entitled to keep 30 percent and release
70 percent to us. This will be fine tuned under a partnership agreement.
There are absolutely no risks, as everything will be legalized from our own
end.
Please reply immediately at groycexxl@yahoo.it indicating your willingness
to partner stating your preference of any of the above payment methods and
submit your current bank details for processing and payment within 3 days.
Sincerely,
Michael Adams
