Attn: Sir (Fund Beneficiary),
SUB: YOUR OVERDUE CLAIM HAS BEEN DESIGNATED TO OUR OFFICE FOR PAYMENT VIA CERTIFIED BANK DRAFT ON THE UN COUNTER-PART FUND PAYMENT PROGRAMME
This is to notify you that we received a payment instruction from the UN and the new Commander in Chief President Muhammadu Buhari mandating our office to liquidate your payment within this Third Quarter of the 2017 Fiscal Year based on the Counter-Part Fund Payment Programme. The directive was as a result of petition from IMF in respect of your outstanding payment and that of others. The Presidency further directed that we investigate the circumstances leading to the present impasse and use our position to finalize your payment. Consequent on this directive, our office has commenced investigation to determine what actually transpired. Note that the Foreign Debt Payment Office was established on the advice of World Bank President and mandated/authorized to release all categories of debt owed Foreign Contractors, Inheritance and Lottery Claims. The World Bank President queried Nigeria Government after going through the Adhoc Committee report on its request for World Bank & Paris Club to cancel their debt. It was based on these conditions that all debts owed foreign beneficiaries must be paid that the debt Nigeria owed to World Bank & Paris Club was canceled.
The World Bank President also mandated my office to stop this un-official misconduct, deliberate delay on foreign payment through unnecessary use of bureaucratic procedures, diversion of funds to other accounts that is not authorized by the beneficiary and imposition of unauthorized fees. The National Assembly has therefore promulgated the Foreign Payment Review/Affirmation Act 1414 directing the CBN, Financial Institutions and Payment Committees to hands off all payments and hand over payment files to our office. This is to avoid duplication of assignment and to avoid creating confusion in the payment process. It is very obvious that some of these offices might hesitate to let you know of this new order due to their ulterior motive.
In accordance with this new directive from our Government and the World Bank, an urgent meeting of vital government stakeholders, financial institutions and government committees was summoned by this office. During the meeting a lot of irregularities and misrepresentation of fact was discovered. At the end, we were able to reconcile and regularize some of the details in your file. The information contained in your payment file which was forwarded to our office from the Federal Ministry of Finance shows that your payment is among the Priority Class which implies your payment is long over-due. This office has therefore concluded arrangement to release your payment via Certified International Bank Draft. Alternatively payment by Swift Transfer to your nominated account # 7840 0969 3565 with J.P Morgan Chase Bank, New York-USA can be approved for you if you dont prefer Certified Draft.
You are advised to re-confirm your Claim Amount and to confirm to this office within 72hrs the mode of payment you prefer. This is to avoid payment to wrong beneficiary as our office or the Federal Government will not be held liable in this regard. Note that we intend to proceed with the processing of your payment as soon as we receive your response. As soon as you contact the under signed via Email:[email protected], further details concerning your payment will be communicated to you. Swift response is required to enable our office conclude your payment within 72hrs. For your information, payment via ATM Card has just commenced.
Yours faithfully,
REV. DR. SIMI BOMAPAYMASTER GENERAL/DIRECTOR PAYMENT
