OUR REF: FRN/SNC/ADC/01-VOL01
ATTN: CEO/MD
I am DR KADIRI USMAN of the KTT DEPT of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), my office monitors and control the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in Nigeria concerned with foreign contract payments. I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge funds moving within banks both on the local and international levels in line with foreign contracts settlement. I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc.
From the intelligence-monitoring unit I became aware of an outstanding payment floating in the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) foreign payments account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). This is as result of grossly over invoiced contracts, which were executed by the NNPC during the last administration in Nigeria, and are presently under verification. To this effect, the present administration in Nigeria has empowered me to identify, scrutinize and recommend for payment all valid contracts that have been fully executed. In the course of my assignment, I identified a lot of misappropriated and inflated funds, which are presently floating in the suspense account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. The companies who executed their contracts have been fully paid. It is now part of the over inflated sum of USD$15, 500,000.00 that I intend to move to you as a foreigner. Because I would be unable to claim it, it needs you a foreigner to claim this f!
und as the beneficiary before this fund can be moved. 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 based on the instructions I received from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments / Foreign Debts to submit the List of payment reports / expenditures and audited reports of revenues.
My request is anchored on my strong desire to establish a lasting business relationship with you and your company. I solicit your partnership to enable me move the said funds to you, You have been recommended to me in confidence and I would assure you my ability and reliability to prosecute business transaction that requires maximum confidentiality. As the EXECUTIVE DIR. KTT DEPT. (C.B.N) I have approval from UNITED NATIONS that will enable me move the funds through diplomatic means to you through a diplomat. But before this will be done, Bellow is the conditions on how the transaction will be.
1) You should write a promissory letter stating that you will give me 60% of the total sum immediately as soon as the funds are in your care in your country. And 40% for you.
2) Your local law representative offices must be blind of this arrangement until the money is delivered to you. The reason for these is to stop them from doing any thing that may hinder the safe arrival of this fund and not to jeopardize my office as well.
3) If you AGREE with my conditions I request you to send me your house address where the delivery would be made and your international passport or Drivers license and your private telephone and fax, which will be used for identification and communication purposes respectively. This information should be sent to this fax number +234 9 272 2682 OR ((drusman_2006@yahoo.co.uk ). If you comply with these instructions; this fund ($USD15.5m) will be delivered to you in your country within 3 days.
The arrangements would be when the diplomat gets to the Country, he will get in touch with you letting you know he has arrived and with your address, he would help us deliver (consignment) funds at your door post.
I duly need your inner trust. I would not want a situation where you would betray me when you have received it from him. He actually does not know the content and upon his arrival do not let him know what the content is. It is between you and I alone.
Furthermore, it is from the 60% that I wish to commence the importation business. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe and guaranteed since the law under which my office was set up, has empowered me to disburse all the funds found to be floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria redundant account from 1985 till date. I shall commence the movement of the funds immediately I receives the above information.
Call me on my private telephone +234 806 020 4911. To effect this arrangement.
Regards,
DR KADIRI USMAN
EXECUTIVE DIR. KTT DEPT.(C.B.N)
