RE: RELEASE OF YOUR OVERDUE PAYMENT
Following the recent meeting held with new, Chairman of ECONOMIC & FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION
(EFCC), As stated above by the president of the federal republic of Nigeria during the visit of the
United Nations' secretary on his speech to the nation, couple with recommendation and resolution of
last visit of the president to south Africa, British, France and the United State of America
(United Nations General Assembly in New York), a total sum of $1.6 Billion has been mapped out by
the SENATE to settle all outstanding debts owned to contractors, it has therefore become imperative
for us to explore our options for reducing our debt servicing payment to affordable and sustainable
levels. On the order of the president as a mark of his reconciliation and image laundering exercise
toward sanitizing the battered image of the Federal Republic of Nigeria abroad.
I am Linus Eze (Deputy Chairman Investigation with Economic & Financial Crime Commission). The
purpose of the committee among other is to investigate, verify and settle all outstanding debts
owed to foreign contractors/beneficiaries whose payment is overdue during the last military
dictatorship of late General Sani Abacha and late President Yar'Adua. Many abnormalities had
happened in the central bank of Nigeria where some top official of the apex Bank collected money
from innocent contractors and abandon them half way with levies and taxes before and during the
appointment of Professor Charles Soludo.
Consequently, we received a directive from the office of the President and also the new Central
bank Governor(Lamodi Sanusi Lamodi)ordering the above office to settle all genuine
contractors/beneficiaries whose debts has been outstanding for a long time now, and also for the
beneficiary to be come down to Nigeria and witness the Transfer exercise.
Note that The reasons why your payment is been delayed for so long is that there was a counter
claim for the payment of your funds by Edward Dombrowski and the former payment authorization code
that was issued to you has been used to pay other contractors/ beneficiaries, therefore anytime the
for mar payment authorization code is place on the payment system for transfer it will indicate
paid or used. This office will want to know if you sign any “Deed of Assignment” in favor of Edward
Dombrowski , thereby making him the current beneficiary with the following account details
submitted by Edward Dombrowski:
Bank Name: National City Bank,
Account Name: Edward Dombrowski,
Bank address:9109 South Highway 1

Account Number: 132734401,
Routing Number: 267084199
Swift Code: NATCUS33
ABA#: 083000056
Branch ID 00231
If you are aware of this, kindly explain on this issue, so that we can instruct the paying bank to
release the fund to the above stated bank account submitted by Mr. Edward Dombrowski in receiving
the payment on your behalf, to avoid making payment to a wrong person. In view of this, the federal
government of Nigeria has empowered this Office to dismiss and prosecute any paying bank officials,
under section 35A sub section 1-2-4 of the criminal code of Nigeria while trying to go against rule
and regulations of this committee will be dealt with.
Also, for some of the top banks officials who in the past collected money from contractors without
them releasing their legitimate contract fund; inheritance has been declared wanted by the
committee. This Office is glad to inform you that your payment shall be made as soon as this
information needed from you is submitted to this committee then your payment could be made through
telegraphic transfer or by international certified Bank draft.
