A breakdown of the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of the Fourth Quarter Fiscal Year of 2009 indicates that this Ministry paid out a whooping sum of US$2.8Billion (Two Billion, Eight Hundred Million US Dollars) to successful contract beneficiaries. The Ministry is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid in this third quarter of 2010. The crux of this letter is that the Finance Appraisal Committee/Contract Department of this Ministry deliberately over-inflated the contract value of various contracts awarded to the tune of US$40.5m (Forty Million, Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars) This money is now lying and floating in the ministry's domiciliary account with the Apex Bank, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). My colleagues and I now want to quickly transfer these funds to a safe nominated account for possible investment abroad.

A sharing formular of 30% of the total amount for the foreign partner and 70% for myself and colleagues have also been evolved. Furthermore, we shall be relying on your advice as regards investments of part of our share in your country. Be informed that this business is genuine and 100% safe considering the high-powered government functionaries involved.
