ATTN: HONORABLE FUND OWNER,
After a general meeting today by this office and the Office of the Presidency Federal Republic of Nigeria, including officials from the International Monetary Fund (I.M.F), we have short listed your name amongst four others to be paid with immediate effect.
The meeting today was held because we received series of petitions and allegations from Foreign Contractors/beneficiaries for non payment of inherited funds. It was based on this allegations and petitions that this office in conjunction with these other offices decided to hold this meeting and resolved that all outstanding debts to rightful beneficiaries should be made without delay. This committee have also waived off all fees, charges to be paid by all beneficiaries here in Nigeria before claim of funds. Our Debt Management Office has been appointed as the final credit bank to all short listed payments.
To this development, you are advised to contact our Debt Management Office (DMO) for the immediate final credit of your payment in any of your nominated bank account. The Information you should use in contacting DMO is as follows;
