ATTN: Sir/Madam,
This is to officially inform you about the recent agreement with the Federal Government of Nigeria to handle all their foriegn debts and contract/claim payments. Based on this development we have been mandated to effect the immediate transfer of your over due contract/claim payment this second Quarter 2007. Your Contract/Inheritance File has been verified by our team of Accredited Technical/Financial Experts in respect of your over due contract/claim payment and we discovered some complications and irregularities which has been rectified.
Meanwhile, your over due contract/claim payment has been arranged and programmed through our ATM Card Payment Centre of OCEANIC BANK INTERNATIONAL P L C. The new payment regulatory mechanism was adopted in line with International Monetary Fund (I.M.F.) and was approved by the present administration after the last Federal Executive Council Meeting. The Payment Center will send to you an ATM CARD which you will use to make withdrawal in any ATM Machine in any bank in any part of the world with a maximum withdrawal of (Twenty Five Thousand United States Dollars) per day.
The Payment Center has been authorised to effect the immediate release of your over due contract/claim fund and your payment code tag number is (811). This is based on the new payment regulatory mechanism for a hitch-free transfer of your fund and this code number MUST be indicated as your reference subject when you are contacting the Payment Center. It is also mandatory that all beneficiaries must apply for the ATM CARD before his/her contract/claim payment will be released by the Paying Center.
Note that the ATM Card will be forwarded to you through Diplomatic Courier Service as soon as you reconfirm the following informations:
(a) Your full names (b) Your private telephone/fax numbers (c) Age and Occupation (d) Copy of your identification card/International passport (e) Your contact address for the delivery of the ATM Card.
These information will be forwarded to our Payment Card Centre for final accreditation. Forward these informations through a return mail to this office and reconfirm your total Contract Sum to avoid impersonation and wrong transfer of your contract fund. You are advised in your own interest to discontinue further dealings with any official/agent and give this office your maximum co-operation to make sure that your ATM CARD is delivered to you within the stipulated time.
Awaiting your earliest response.
Respectfully,
Dr. Adolphe Amadi(Executive Director,Operations/Foreign Remittance)OCEANIC BANK INTERNATIONAL PLC.
