 I would like to notified you about our readiness to pay your contract fund through ATM VISA CARD,that can be used to withdraw money in any part of the world from our highly sophisticated integrated cash flow account,it is a synchronised chip circuitry ,that is configured to accomodate up to $12 m and can be withdrawn in any part of the world conveniently.
Â
I would also like to inform you that the federal government under the able leadership of President Umaru Yaradua,has vowed to eradicate corruption from our society,by issuing orders to various ministries and parastatals to ensure accountability and transparency in the area of fund disbursment,and in paying contractors.He further stressed in his key note address during the meeting he held with both the upper and lower house, and non-governmental organisations that he would ensure that the image of nigeria is being potrayed in good light to the international communities.
Â
If you have been following events in nigeria you would have been aware that the daughter of the former head of states Mrs Iyabo Obasanjo Bello and many other corrupt officials are facing corruption charges presntly and they are being detained since last week.This is to prove to you that we are ready to sanitise our image by wiping out corruption from our system, and also to checkmate and curtail the excesses of some sacked officials who have been contacting contractors becsuae they have their information thereby extorting money from them .So you should not have any fear over this transaction as I will ensure that you receive your payment through ATM as I have done to many contractors.
Â
If your are willing to receive your fund through this means,therefore indicate in your reply or if you desire another method please do inform.Â
Expecting your reply.
