Debt Committee On Contract Executed in Power Sector
Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
Email:ndudielumelu@sify.com <Email%3Andudielumelu@sify.com>
I am the chairman of Seven (7) Man Presidential Panel, Debt Committee On
Contract Executed in Power Sector. This panel was set up and empowered by
three factors: The President Of Nigeria, Mallam Musa Yar'Adua, Members of
G-34 and the Honorable Members of the Judicial Panel, to review and
subsequently recommendation given on all duly executed contracts awarded to
"Foreign & Local Contractors" during the last Govt. of Chief Olusegun
Obasanjo, we discovered an over-invoiced contract sum to the tune of One
Hundred Million United States Dollars USD$100,000,000.00). We further traced
the origin of this sum and thus, found out that it was deliberately
over-invoiced by the then "Contract Awarding Committee" before they were
dissolved.
As it stands now, we are very confident that the Government has no knowledge
of this sum; neither does the dissolved committee have access to the said
sum again. We still have almost one year to conclude duty and it is only
then that we shall give official reports and probably refer this
over-invoiced contract sum back to the Federal Government's purse.
It is in the light of this that my colleagues and myself decided to
confidently contact you urgently so that we could perfectly present you or
your company as! one of the "Foreign Contractors" that executed a contract
for the Nigerian Government, and we shall recommend only $15 Million United
States Dollars (USD$15,000,000.00) to be processed and transfered into your
account.
Thereafter, we shall refer back to the Government's purse the balance of
EITHY FIVE Million Dollars (USD$85,000,000.00). We have carefully worked out
the strategies to secure all the necessary DOCUMENTS in your name and there
is no room for failure, because we are still at the head of Contract Review
And Payments Recommendation, and it is only our reports that counts.
If we have understood ourselves and believed with trust that we could do
this DEAL together and move this sum of Fifteen Million Dollars
(USD$15,000,000.00) TO YOU,
then forward to me urgently the following;
1. Your full names
2. Your confidential address
3. Your direct Telephone and fax numbers.
We shall further discuss and agree on the percentage sharing as soon as we
hear from you affirmatively.
Note: that we have closed every track that might lead to any trace of this
fund.
Sincerely,
From: Hon. Ndudi Elumelu
Chairman, Seven (7) Man Presidential Panel/Public
Debt Committee On Contract Executed in Power Sector
Federal Republic Of Nigeria.
