Subject: NOTIFICATION LETTER
Attention: Beneficiary, NOTIFICATION LETTER This is to notify you that you are among the beneficiaries that the Government of Nigeria through the Federal Ministry of Finance forwarded their outstanding payment file to us for payment. This is after the agreement reached during the signing of Economic Aid loan agreement between the Nigerian governments with the G8 in partnership with IMF/WORLD BANK. The said agreement empowers the Presidency to handle forthwith all outstanding payment of foreign beneficiaries, and we have received all payment files from the Ministries in charge. We do not know if the source of your outstanding payment valued US$10.5M as stated in your payment file was as a result inheritance, contract payment or lottery winning, but you are advised to contact this office for clarification upon receipt of this notification letter to enable us process and recommend your fund for payment through any of our designated banks in America, Europe or Asia. The inability of Nigeria banks to pay outstanding foreign beneficiaries their funds even after so many of these beneficiaries must have spent hugely has created a big diplomatic and bilateral face-off between the Nigerian government and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the U.S Government as well as the International community. In view of this, the Presidency has been mandated to handle all payment verification and recommend genuine beneficiaries for payment. Among the criteria set for approval of the loan for the Nigerian government as highlighted above is for the Presidency to takeover charge and pay all verifiable beneficiaries after thorough scrutiny of payment documents as contained in various payment files with us. This is to ensure no fraud is perpetrated again as it has been the case considering the numerous complaints received by the United Nation Regional Office in Africa. Consequently, since the World Bank and IMF blacklisted several Nigeria banks due to their participation in fraud, your fund is going to be paid through our affiliate bank either in USA, Europe or Asia. Therefore, to enable us proceed, you should send to this office the below stated information for verification and scrutiny of your claim prior to payment. (1) YOUR FULL NAMES AND ADDRESS. (2) YOUR BANK DETAILS TO RECEIVE YOUR FUND. (3) COPY OF YOUR IDENTIFICATION (4) YOUR TELEPHONE/MOBILE NUMBERS This will enable us finalize with the head of government and transfer your fund. Do contact us on the below address for further details: Also you must ensure that the specified information above is provided for speedy attention on your payment file. NB: Meanwhile, if you should opt for certified bank cheque or cash delivery, you do not need to send your bank details, but rather your correct contact address where we can deliver your check or cash. Sincerely, DR. Wilson Brooks. For: Presidency Director, Debt Payment Unit, Email: [email protected]
