My Department made wonderful revenue yielded last quarter and exceeded
government budgetted target of US$98.7 Million. This success was made
possible due, to the aggressive revenue strategies employed by my
department in dealing with smugglers and importers alike at the end
of the last quarter, which has just ended. I as the officer in- charge of
revenue with my colleagues in charge of Central Administration
decided to declare only the sum of USD$62.1 Million and have since
paid same into government treasury leaving behind a total sum of
US$36.6M (Thirty -Six Million And Six Hundred Thousand US DOLLARS) which we
statutorily set aside for refund to importers who were charged excess
duties in line with the enabling laws establishing the Custom & Excise
service in Nigeria which allows refund to importers presumed to have
been charge excess duties.
Please, should you be willing to assist, we require you to send an
application for refund of excess duty amounting to US$36.6M (Thirty
-Six Million And Six Hundred Thousand US DOLLARS) to
My office or forward a blank sheet of your company’ s letter headed
paper to me for that purpose and also enclose the detail of your bank
particular where the refund will be lodged, I will therefore
authorize my company the said amount under the guise that your
company was charged excise duty by my department, and within 7(Seven)
Baking days to be precised the money will be remitted into your
nominated account by telegraphic transfer, means while I and my
colleagues have also agreed that 15% of the money will be given to
you for using your account and your unreserved assistance.
We have put in resources and time to bring this transaction to this
level, which means that it repsents a lot to us, and hopefully in
just a matter of two weeks it shall come to means a lot to you too as
we meet in your country soon after the transfer.
You should not fear any risk because we have concluded every
arrangement to safe guard you in this transaction but at the same
time we would not like you to publicize it for our safety.
