THE EFCC LETTER

updated may 27 2005

These letters are direct slaps at the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC).

The EFCC is a real agency of the Nigerian government, whose chairman, Nuhu Ribadu, is creating a stir with high-profile arrests.

These Lads use Nuhu Ribadu's own name. Kind of like an American crook pretending to be the head of the FBI.

ATTN: Sir / Madam

RE: RELEASE OF YOUR OVERDUE PAYMENT (US$30MILLION)

Following the recent broadcast of the president and the commander in chief of armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria during the visit to the America President Mr. George W. Bush, his speech to the united nation, couple with recommendation and resolution of his last visit to South Africa, British, France and the UNGA United Nations General Assembly in New York), a total sum of $2.8 Billion has been mapped out by the SENATE to settle all outstanding foreign debts owned to contractor this year. It has therefore become imperative for us to explore our options for reducing our debt servicing policy 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 Nuhu Ribadu Chairman Economic And Financial Crime Commission, a committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria under the able President Olusegun Obasanjo. The purpose of the committee among other is to investigate, verify and settle all outstanding debts owed to foreign contractors whose payment is overdue. During the last military dictatorship of Late General Sani Abacha, many abnormalities had happened in the Central Bank of Nigeria where some top official of the apex Bank collaborate with imposters and abandon our contractor half way with levies and taxes.

Consequently, we received a directive from the office of the president, ordering the above office to settle all genuine contractors whose debts has been outstanding for a long time now. These are those who has shown sufficient proof regarding the release of their fund, And we wish to inform you that in our record here, you have fulfilled such conditions.

But the reasons why your own Transfer has to be delayed is because, there is presently a counter claims on your funds by one Mr. Peter Woo, who is presently trying to make us believe that you entered into an agreement with him, to help you in receiving your fund, in his bank account in China. So here comes the big question. Did you sign any Deed of Assignment in favor of Mr. Peter Woo, thereby making him the current beneficiary with the following account details: Account Name: xxxxxxx, A/C #: xxxxxx Bank Name: Standard Chattered bank, xxxxxx, Central Hong Kong, Swift Code: xxxxxx.

If you did not sign, nor authorize Mr. Peter Woo to receive your payment on your behalf, kindly reconfirm to us, your genuine bank account details, to avoid making payment to a wrong person, attempt to divert your payment to a new account without your knowledge may have been done by your local representative with the assistance of some (CBN) Officials, of whom most of them are presently under our custody and will face prosecution under section 35A sub section 1-2-4 of the criminal code of Nigeria, pending on when we finish with our investigation. This office is glad to inform you that your payment shall be made as soon as this information needed from you is submitted, either by telegraphic transfer or by international Certified Bank Draft. We are sorry to inform you that the Federal Government of Nigeria had made it clear to all foreign contractors whose payment is overdue, to be paid immediately hence all the modality relating to the release of your contract fund had been completed. You are advised to stop any further communication with your local representative(s) any officials (s) department of the CBN or any Government parastatal. This is to forestall new effort towards a diversion of your payment.

This office supersedes every other department in the CBN and is thus responsible for the final payment. The consequences of not heeding to this warning would be yours. Please forward you re banking particulars and contract sum to this office immediately for action.

Considering the circumstances at hand, you are advice not to accept any fax or telephone calls that does not come from this office. Call me immediately you receive this message for more information.

"Koffi Williams" pops up elsewhere in the scamology, see KOFFI'S ON THE BOIL. This may or may not be the same scammer. Koffi Williams is probably not his name. He may or may not have made the Haj. He is not someone you want to bring home for dinner.
