YOUR IMMEDIATE CONTRACT PAYMENT NOTIFICATION
Greetings; Respected Contractor,
Apologies, for the delay of your contract payment and all the inconveniences and inflict that we
might have indulge you through.
Apparently,we are having problems with our payment system, which is inexplicable, and it has held
us isolated and indolent, not having the aspiration to devote our 100% assiduity in authorizing
foreign contract payments.
During the auditing of all financial records of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in the beginning
of this payment quarter of 2007, it was discovered from the records of our foreign
contractors/inheritance (CONTRACTOR'S PAYOUT) due for payment with the Federal Government of
Nigeria in the past that your name and company is next on the list of those who will be receiving
their fund.
Also note that from the record in our file, your outstanding contract payment is US$25.7 million
dollars (Twenty five million seven hundred thousand united states dollars) but US$15 million
dollars has been approved for contractor's payout, and will be transferred immediately to you to
you.
It is mandatory that any mails should be forwarded to the officer in-charge of your fund on:
(rev_steve002@yahoo.it), and also re-confirm to us your:
1) Your full name.
2) Contact address
3) Phone, fax and mobile #.
4) Profession, age and marital status.
5) Company name, position and address.
So that we will know if this is inline with what you have in your record toenable this office
proceed and finalize your fund remittance without further delays.
Thanks for your good understanding, hope to have your response shortly.
Yours truly,
Rev. Steve Anthony
Director of Foreign Debt Allocation
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN)
