Following the directives received from the Office of the President, Federal Republic of Nigeria, as a result of petitions and counter-petitions by foreign contractors over non-payment of their contract claims and in line with Covid-19, this office has been appointed to look into all overdue contract payments yet to be released for verification, vetting and immediate payment since we have the financial support of world bank and the Paris club to pay off all outstanding payments over due for claims.

Your name is among the list of beneficiaries released for verification and immediate payment. However, be informed that there are different accounts submitted for your payment by your local representatives in conjunction with the KTT Director, Central Bank of Nigeria. We do not know into which account to effect your payment.

Please, you are hereby required to verify the following immediately:

1. Did you broker your debt to one Mr. Alan Smith of Indo-China Group Ltd, Hong Kong, whose Passport Photograph is hereby attached below to claim and receive the payment on your behalf, they came With a sworn Affidavit Receipt of your contract payment from the federal High Court here in Nigeria. He has the backup of an Attorney Jeffia Williams who claimed to be your lawyer here. Please do confirm this information to us quickly.
