Subject: Attn : contractor,
From the Desk of
DR.JOHN PEDRO.
DIRECTOR KTT CBN.
Attn : contractor,
After waiting to hear from you or your Nigrian partners for a long time
now.l decided to make this direct approach to you as my end of year gift in
other not to let it be as if I have anything in mind against you.l do not
know if you have asked yourself why each time the release of this fund is
approved,all of a sudden,the payment will be stopped or one problem or the
other will come up.if you have not asked this question or you do not know,
this is an opportunity for me to tell you.
Some time ago,your Nigerian friends, l mean the people that introduced you
to this project approached me through my dear wife who works with the
Federal Ministry Of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a money
transfer deal they had with you.
They requested me to assist them by removing the original contractors
name,company's name and bank particulars from the Central Bank Of
Nigeria(CBN) vetting computer and replacing them with your name ( Mr
Ferguson ) and your bank details in order to make you appear as the rightful
beneficiary of this fund. I agreed on condition that they will pay me
US$100,000 as soon as your name appears as the beneficiary. I did as agreed
and demanded to be paid, but your friends started telling me stories,they
even told me you promised to send money to me.
Do you know that up till now,l have not received a single cent from them and
have not set my eyes on any of them.
Based on their attitude,l decided to stop the fund release movement because
l cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering the risk as it
might affect my job. Secondly,l know the source of the funds that you did
not execute any contract in Nigeria,although l am the only person privileged
to know this information and it is a fact.
Why l am making this clear to you is that l can see that you are still
making efforts in order to conclude this project. Now l am ready to forget
the past. l do not need the US$100,000 any longer from you but a good
compensation from your mind. l need your assurance that those your
colleagues will be tottally kept out of this transaction. l know that none
of them is aware of my new approach to you.
Stop spending your money unnecessarily to CBN Officers both here and
overseas because you will not receive this money without my hand in it .l
personally did the work at the begining and only me can perform it.
Finally,l need your promise that no official of the Central Bank Of Nigeria
will be aware of my involvement in this regard because of my position.
Now re-assure that you will be willing to compensate me,that you will assist
my wife to establish a foreign account in your country where my compensation
will be lodged. Also a KTT FUND RELEASE APPROVAL DOCUMENTS will be sent to
you for endorsement after which l will remit the money within 48 hours. l am
a man of my word.If you are ready to conclude this business with me, kindly
contact me on email so that we can have a chat over this issue once and for all.
But if the reverse is the case, do not bother yourself to reach me and
forget about this fund.
BEST REGARDS.
D.Smith Johnson.
DIRECTOR KEY TESTED TRANSFER,(KTT).
