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.
