ATTENTION: Beneficiary,


PAYMENT NOTIFICATION AND AFFIDAVIT FOR WAIVE OF COST OF TRANSFER.


I am Mrs. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala the new Minister for Finance Federal Republic of Nigeria. After the last federal executive council meeting presided over by Nigerian president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan (GCFR) based on the reports and counter reports from the National Assemblies (Senate/House of Reps,) from our unsuspecting foreign contractors whose contractual funds are not been paid to them and the new changes by the paying banks. The (FEC) condemned and was not happy about the unpaid foreign debts, some of which has been long over due and has dragged for too long, some running into years.

We discovered from our investigations, that this was as a result of inefficiency on the part of the commercial banks, which hitherto, had handled this project in the past, unsuccessfully. The federal government of Nigeria, seriously frowns at this ugly development and cannot fold its arms and watch its name being tarnished in the international community, hence this urgent/concrete step to save our dear foreign beneficiaries and our image.


We have also discovered with great displeasure, the series of demands by these banks and their cohorts, thereby subjecting our beneficiaries to untold extortion. The federal government has thus mandated this office to obtain an AFFIDAVIT from the federal high court of justice of Nigeria to waive all payments of any sort at the banks before transferring beneficiaries' funds, including cost of transfer charges and other fees until your fund hits your bank account.


We have thus reached a compromise with the apex bank and have taken up the cost of transfer and telex charges running into thousands of dollars this will serve as a respite to our beneficiaries.


This vital document (AFFIDAVIT) will bear a copy of either your driver's license or international passport for security reasons and shall be duly authenticated also at the federal high court of justice of Nigeria. This is part of our fight against corruption and to redeem our image in the globe.


You are therefore urgently requested to furnish us with the following:

1. Your full personal details, names, Phone number etc.
2. Your full banking details, where you wish your fund to be wired.
3. Your total contract/inheritance)--please indicate if your payment is for contract or inheritance.
4. Total amount expected
5. Copy of your international passport or driver's license
6. Your Occupation

The above information will enable us prepare the affidavit of waiver in your favor, and have your fund finally transferred.

I await your urgent response with the above required information, while counting on your maximum cooperation in our fight against corruption.

Finally, you are warned to stop any further communication with any one, bank and agencies demanding for money to transfer your fund in order not to jeopardize our good efforts.

Note: The above affidavit and court order will be issued to you by the federal ministry of justices is all you need to have your fund released.


Good luck and be well guided.

Mrs, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala
Honorable Minister for Finance
Federal Republic of Nigeria.
