Re: PAYMENT SOLUTION.
I am Hon.Alex Okoh, MINISTER FOREIGN
AFFAIR FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
My office monitors and controls the affairs of all other banks and financial institutions in Nigeria. I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of hugefunds moving from bank to bank bothlocal and international levels.
Now, I have before me funds which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts by some individuals due to the fact that these bank accounts where ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc. As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the Federal government treasury and reserve accounts as unclaimed deposits, I have the opportunity to write you. I have in my computer list of Names of Contractor who have not received their contract payments due to fraudulent activities by some officials of the bank representatives who parade fake documents. (As reported to me via strong evidences) In view of the above, I write to have a deal with you as regards to your unpaid contract sum.
Your file is right here on my table and hope your datas are correct unless you reconfirm it. Having received instructions 2 days ago from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments / Foreign Debts to submit the List of payment reports /expenditures and audited reports of revenues.Hence this letter to you.Among several others, I have decided to remit your contract sum
following my idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally. 1) That you will remit 10% of the total amount to my own account [which I will provide if you agree with this deal]after you have confirmed the transfer of sum into your account by telegraphic Transfer (T/T), confirmable in 3 working days. 2) This deal must be kept secret forever, and All correspondence is strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes. If you AGREE with my DEAL, I will tell you what to do immediately and I will instruct the transfer to your account the sum your contract sum within 3 days of my action.
I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to exactly 3 days. If you reject this deal, wait and see and by the way you have suffered until now no success.
Waiting for your reply soon.
Congratulations!
Hon.ALEXOkoh,
Minister Foreign Affairs Federal
Republic of Nigeria.
