Re: PAYMENT SOLUTION
I am Hon. Dr. Adeniji Olu, Minister Foreign Affairs Ministry; my office
monitors and controls 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 to 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. Your name was among the people expecting the funds to be transferred into their account, on this note; I wish to have a deal with you as regards to your unpaid funds.
I have your file before me and hope your data's are correct and
un-tampered unless u reconfirm it.
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 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.
Among several others, I have decided to remit yourcontract sum
following my idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally.
MY CONDITIONS
1. 30% of your total fund only will be paid into an account I will
provide you after you have confirmed the transfer of your 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 will
be strictly by email / telephone, for security purposes.
3. There should be no third parties as most problem associated with
your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.
If you AGREE with my conditions, l advise you on what to do immediately and the transfer will commence without delay as I will proceed to fix your name on the Payment schedule instantly to meet the three days mandate.
I hope you don't reject this offer and have your funds transferred.
Waiting for your reply soon via my private email address above.
Yours faithfully,
Hon. Dr. Adeniji Olu
Foreign Affairs Minister
