From: "CONTRACT PAYMENT" <sdmc7000@mailbox.hu>
Date: Fri, 30 May 2008 20:27:32 +0100
Subject: TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE FUND
Sir/Madam,
TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE FUND
In view of the recent increase in Crude Price in the International Market
and the current 60% Debt Relief granted to the Federal Republic of Nigeria
by the Paris Club of Creditor Nations, i write you this Proposal for an
urgent business initiative.
I am Mr Ibrahim Maccido, the Secretary of the SPECIAL DEBT MANAGEMENT
COMMISSION (SDMC) here in NIgeria. This Office is saddled with the
responsibility of paying up all the internal debt that the country is oweing
its foreign creditors who executed one contract or the other here in
Nigeria. Owning to the 60% debt relief that was granted my country by the
Paris Club out of the $30 billion USD the country originally owed.
This provided the country with a relief of $18 billion which led to the
setting up this commission to utilise this fund to clear its Internal Debts
owed foreign contractors.Additionally, the present increase in the price of
Crude Oil in the International Market owing to the War in the Middle East,
especially Iraq has also helped in this regard.
Now in the course of our carrying out enquiries on foreign contractors that
we are to pay, a notice was brought forward to my colleagues i and on a
contract awarded to a foreign firm to carry out "TURN AROUND MAINTENANCE"
for the major Oil Refineries in the country in 1995 by the then Military
regime. After several attempt made to contact this firm to come forward and
put up a claim for its payment there was no response and with the amount
involed in the countract sum, which is "SEVEN MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND
FOURTEEN THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS ($7,714,000)" we decided to look for a
foreign partner to come forward and put up a claim so that we can pay this
fund to him as if he was the original executor of the contract,and later
arrange for our share. This is why i decided to contact you to assist us in
achieving this objectives.
I will want you to know that we have resolved to make sure that we would
shoulder all the financial responsibilities that would be involed in making
sure that this fund gets to you and would also want you to know that there
is no risk involed in this deal since all the key members of the commision
is aware of it. all we want you to do is indicate in your reply to this mail
that you can assist us so that we can then work out the percentage that
would be acrued to you for your assistance.
Thank You,
Yours Faithful,
Abbas Ibrahim
