Attn: Fund beneficiary,
RE: YOUR OUTSTANDING PART PAYMENT VALUED AT US$10.5M HAS BEEN VERIFIED AND SHORTLISTED FOR IMMEDIATE PAYMENT
Owing to the hardship worldwide which is occasioned by the damaging effect COVID-19 and the petition from foreign fund beneficiaries, the World Bank sent a Special Visitation Panel to process and release the payment of some beneficiaries within seven working days before the end of the last Quarter of the 2022 Fiscal Year. The directive resulted from a petition directed to the World Bank by some foreign fund beneficiaries from America, Europe and Asia who appealed to the high powered international institutions to come to their rescue by ensuring the release of their Contract, Compensation, Inheritance and Lottery Claims payment.
Considering the strength of the petition, the World Bank in collaboration with the Nigerian Government directed the World Bank Auditors to investigate the circumstances leading to the present impasse and use our position to finalize your payment. The directive we received mandated our office to stop un-official misconduct, deliberate delay on foreign payment through unnecessary use of bureaucratic procedures, diversion of funds to other accounts that are not authorized by the beneficiary and imposition of unauthorized fees. The World Bank further issued directives to international banks overseas and local banks in Nigeria, the CBN, Payment Committees and all international financial institutions to hand off all payments and hand over beneficiaries’ payment files to our office. This is to avoid duplication of assignments and to avoid creating confusion in the payment process. It is quite obvious that some of these offices might hesitate to let you know of this new order due to their
ulterior motive.
Consequently, in line with this directive an urgent meeting of vital government stakeholders, international and local financial institutions, CBN and government committees was summoned by our office. During the meeting a lot of irregularities and misrepresentation of fact and irregular/unauthorized change of account was revealed. It is my pleasure to inform you that our office has successfully verified and short listed your payment which will be released without further delay.
You are therefore advised to contact our offshore payment facilitator cum legal officer office re-confirming your correct/nominated bank account details to be used for the transfer. This payment can also be released via Certified Bank Draft or ATM Card. All communication in respect of this payment should be directed to the below officer.
