From the Desk of Dr. Mansur Muhtar
Minister for Finance, Federal Republic of Nigeria
Our Ref: FMF/FGNX0011-ODCS/09 Your Ref:
ATTN: Honourable Beneficiary,
IMMEDIATE PAYMENT OF YOUR OVERDUE CONTRACT / INHERITANCE FUND.
THE FEDERAL MINISTRY OF FINANCE was recently set up and mandated by the President, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'adua (GCFR) to verify all genuine contractors / inheritance claims and pay their liabilities before the end of this fiscal year 2009. The Federal Ministry of Finance office was equally mandated to investigate jobs executed by foreign contractors between 1999 till date. The President stressed on the problems of foreign contractors has already faced with the past military Government and that our foreign debt has to be reduced drastically as directed by the World Bank.
Consequently, the Federal Ministry of Finance in conjunction with the National Assembly set aside US$3.4Billion to pay in good claims from foreign contractors / Inheritance Fund (Next of Kin). In line with this arrangement the Senate Committee on Foreign Debt Matters (National Assembly) ordered that contractors and Next-of-Kins whose files have shown sufficient proof regarding job execution and their debt outstanding for a long time be settled without delay. We wish to inform you that your files was forwarded to us by various offices and department shows that you have fulfilled all conditions necessary to receive your payment.
One of the reasons why your payment had been delayed for so long was because of counter-claim for the payment on your fund. This necessitated the perusal of documents relating to your contract payment; we were convinced that you are the actual beneficiary of the said fund. The attempt to divert your payment to new account was done by your local representatives in collaboration with some Officials; Most of the officials involved in several official misconducts have been sacked. I write officially this day to inform you that your contract amount calculated US$5.8M will be paid to you via our normal diplomatic delivery method due to our recent problem with International Monetary Fund (IMF). Be aware that all necessary modalities concerning the delivery of your fund as consignment have perfected and the diplomat will take off as soon as we receive below information from you.
Finally, you are required with immediate effect to reconfirm the following;
