Subject: YOUR OVERDUE FUND TRANSFER.
From The Office of: Senate President David Mark
Senate President Federal Republic of Nigeria
Attn: Beneficiary,
RE: PAYMENT NOTIFICATION ON APPROVED ENTITLEMENT FUND
(US$30,000,000.00)
This is to notify you that your over due entitlement fund has been
gazetted to be released to you after the summit meeting held at the
Federal Government capital territory (Abuja) in which an indoor
meeting was held between my government, International Monetary Fund
(IMF), World Bank Auditors, representatives of the European Union,
Asian and American Congress respectively concerning the debts owed to
foreigners.
It was agreed that all the beneficiaries under the category "A" will
receive the sum of Thirty Million United States Dollars
(US$30,000,000.00) as approved and endorsed by all the parties present
in the summit. Be informed that your name was stipulated under the
category "A" awaiting the receipt of his payment.
Therefore, you are advised as a matter of urgency, to
reconfirm
thefollowing details:
YOUR FULL NAMES:................... CORRESPONDING
ADDRESS:.............. TELEPHONE / FAX NUMBERS:............ MOBILE
PHONE:................. OCCUPATION/POSITION:.................
AGE/MARITAL STATUS................ INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT/DRIVERS
LISCENCE...........
Note that if you have received this message by (electronic email
sending error) to your system, kindly help us by informing us to
enable us sort this out as my office has been instructed by the
Presidency to take the issues of the release of all payment owed to
foreign beneficiaries upon herself in order to sanitize the image of
this country as the former government have handed over the power to
the new government on May 29th, 2007 and the former government did not
want to leave without the settlement of all debts as agreed / endorsed
by the parties involved.
It will interest you to know that as soon as we receive the above
details, we will commence with all needed necessary legal
procedures
and issue all payments details to you, in order to approve the release
of your long over due entitlement fund, as our government wants to
rebuild its confidence in International Cooperation and International
Financial system. I want you to understand that this arrangement
supersedes all the previous arrangements given to you. Nevertheless,
if we do not hear from you within the next seven (7) working days from
today, it shall attract indefinite postponement of your payment and my
government will not be blamed for such action, any question should be
directed to this office.
The federal government of Nigeria is sorry for any inconvenience the
delay in releasing your entitlement fund must have caused you as a
result of unprofessional services rendered by the banking and
financial institutes and that is our aim of objective.
Best Regards,
THE PRESIDENCY OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE
