Sir/Madam,

Following a Debt Conversion Program Agreement (DCPA) reached between our Bank and the Economic Community of West Africa (ECOWAS) under the 2016/2017 fiscal year schemes.

Our Bank (ECOBANK PLC) has taken over the responsibility for remittance/settlement of debt owed to individuals and companies by the member countries both Contract, lottery winnings and inheritance entitlements alike.


Our bank was nominated for this purpose because of our strong presence in all the West African sub-region and for our reputation. Your outstanding fund will now be paid through our Bank (ECOBANK PLC).

Under the terms of the Debt Conversion Program Agreement (DCPA) We are to pay you immediately while the relevant government will refund our Bank through Government Treasury Bills in favor of our Bank maturing in 2018.


The ECOWAS Inter-ministerial Committee on Foreign Debts has authorized payment to you with immediate effect. Subsequently, ECOWAS Inter-ministerial Committee on Foreign Debts payment order number ECOWAS-P24/15/854Z was issued to this bank
directing us to remit your fund immediately.

We instructed our foreign corresponding bank to affect the remittance of US $9,500,000.00 part payment to your designated bank account and this has been done accordingly.

While congratulating you on the final remittance of your fund, you are advised to inquire from your bank confirming the arrival of the part payment at the designated bank account.

Yours faithfully,

Mr.James Lawrence
