REF: (NNPC) CONTRACT PAYMENT NOTIFICATION.
Dear Contract/Beneficiary,
Dated this 31st day of March, 2009.
This is to bring to your notice that the Presidential Petroleum Tender
Board Committee of the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) have
resolved to take charge of all contract inheritance payments of all
contractors/beneficiaries, for the 2006 contract done by various foreign
contractors, including you, under the administration and leadership of Chief of
Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, upon themselves. It is my pleasure to inform you that
the senate has signed and approved for immediate payment, the total sum of
$12.5m (Twelve Million, Five Hundred Thousand Dollars only).
We have also discovered that you are being contacted on daily basis by some
non officials of CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN) OCEANIC BANK, ZENITH BANK, UBA
BANK, UNION BANK, CITI BANK, SKYE BANK, ECO BANK,and the office of Mr. Ban Ki
Moon, Secretary General, United Nations and other bodies both in Nigeria and
outside Nigeria, including the offices of PROF. CHARLES SOLUDO, MR. PATRICK
AZIZA, MR. FRANK NWEKE, and many other bodies, claiming to be in position to pay
your fund.
Henceforth, you are cautioned to stop further transaction with any other
body (s), bank, office (s) regarding your contract payment, until you obtain
FINAL CLEARANCE/APPROVAL from this office. Be reminded that you could fall
victim to the gang of fraudsters here or be exploited by the several corrupt
Nigeria officials, who parade themselves as being in the position to pay your
contract fund. In a swift crusade towards the enforcement of your contract debt,
the Nigeria National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) have been authorized by the
Senate and President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to take charge of
payment of all NNPC and Petroleum Trust Fund (PTF) contractors through the 30%
fund generated from the corporation proceeds. This is contained in the officials
gazette recently released by the President, (ALHAJI UMARU MUSA YAR' ADUA)
Be further informed that after due investigations, it was however
discovered that the reason you haven't received your contract payment all this
while is because you have been dealing with these corrupt officials who
previously handled your transaction and who had the intentions of diverting some
part your funds to their private accounts overseas. And also, because, this
board have received numerous letters from different people who claim to be
either your partner or Attorney, who request that the money be paid to their own
bank account, stating that you have given them the authority to receive cash
call remittance on your behalf. But because they failed to provide enough proof
for their claims, the money has not been paid to them.
In this regard, all modalities have been put in place for the immediate
release of your contract payment as soon as reconfirmation message is received
from you.
