FROM THE PRESIDENCY FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.
FEDERAL CAPITAL TERRITORY(FCT)
ABUJA NIGERIA.
RE:YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT EVALUATION/RELEASE PROCESS.
After a joint meeting of the Federal Executive Council (FEC), the Senate
Committee on Foreign Debts Reconciliation and the Presidential Payment and
Implementation Panel on Contract/ inheritance funds under Category "A1" which
was addressed and headed by the New Elected President of the Federal Republic
of Nigeria, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, it became imperative to contact you on
the subject matter. This meeting was initiated as part of the recent image
laundering scheme of the federal government of Nigeria.
During the meeting, so many negative reports were tabled on behalf of our
numerous contractors and foreign personnels on how unfairly they have been
treated and extorted by some corrupt officials who were vested with the
authority to pay them their entitlements. The most annoying and irritating
aspect of it all is that they could not effect payment to these foreign
beneficiaries after subjecting them to so much stress and trauma.
To this regards, this office has been given the SOLE authority to the Central
Bank of Nigeria by the President and commander-in-chief of the armed forces of
the federal republic of Nigeria to handle and release all contract/inheritance
funds and you are therefore advised NOT to contact ANY OTHER OFFICE to avoid
further complications in your payment file. This information was published in
one of the national dailies in Nigeria on the 29th of May, 2007.
Every arrangement for the remittance of your overdue funds payment has been
concluded and the funds will be released within 48hrs banking hours of your
response. All documentation to this effect is in place and we have already
prepared your key tested telex (KTT) for your transfer to your bank account. It
is my discretion to inform you that this office has commenced arrangements to
clear your funds for remittance without any subsequent delay, in view of this,
you are will be required to complete a payment verification form in your own
hand writing and return it to this office duly signed and stamped,this will be
sent to you in our next mail to you after confirming your acknowledgement of
this mail.
Payment will be effectuated from the CBN and remains irrevocable provided you
meet our directives prior to remittance. You hereby advised henceforth to
disregard communication with any official in Nigeria in respect of your payment
to avoid complications with your payment, all further correspondences should be
forwarded to this office .
Treat as urgent.
Yours faithfully,
Tokunbo Thomas
SPECIAL ADVISER TO THE PRESIDENT ON CONTRACT PAYMENT.
