Source:During the last military regimes here in Nigeria,government officials set up companies and awarded themselves contracts that were to be paid from the Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) set up by the military regime for the purpose of financing special projects and these were grossly over-invoiced.The present civilian government have constituted an Interim Management Committee (IMC) with the mandate to investigate all contracts awarded as well as carry out debt verification of all claims that have not yet been paid with a view of settling all legitimate debts owed by the Federal Government of Nigeria to both local and foreign contractors before the government winds up the Trust Fund. We as members of this committee have identified a lot of inflated contracts with funds already allocated by the government in this year budget.Presently, the allocated fund is floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria and by virtue of our position as civil-servants and members of this commitee,we cannot acquire this fund in our names.I was delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would process the transfer of the funds totalling (USD26,400,000.00) whereby you will be adequately compesated with 25% of the total sum,hence our writing you this mail. The present Civilian Government is determined to pay foreign contractors all debts owed so as to maintain an amicable relationship with both the Foreign Governments and Non Government Financial Agencies in order to attract foreign investment into our economy.We have decided to include our bills for approval with the co-operation of some officials of the Federal Ministy of Finance (F.M.F) and the Central Bank of Nigeria (C.B.N.).We hereby seek your assistance in providing us with a good company account or personal account into which we will process the remittance of this money since you will be acting as an ORIGINAL CONTRACTOR in this deal.This we can do by SWAPPING of account information and changing of beneficiary information to apply for payment. We will prepare letters of claims and job description on your behalf on reception of the following information (your banker's name and address,account number,your telephone and fax numbers) It is our intention therefore,while having your understanding and co-operation to invest 70% of this funds in pulp and paper manufacturing plant for worldwide distribution as well as importation of agricultural and oil prospecting equipment to sub-western region of Africa.The balance of 5% is set aside to cater for all local and foreign expenses incurred in facilitating the succesful transfer of this fund.
