Attention; Dear,

We have noticed with deep concern the fraudulent and corrupt practices by some officials of the Nigerian financial institutions and government agencies formerly designated with the duty to process and perform the remittances of various foreign contract/inheritance payments. These nefarious activities have put Nigeria in bad light among committee of nations, which have been very inimical to her economic growth and development. It is a fact that some beneficiaries while trying to realize their legitimate contract/inheritance claims/payments have unsuspectingly fallen prey to schemes and grand designs by these bad elements in Nigeria who creates artificial impediments in the processing of foreign contract/inheritance payments as devices to perpetrate fraud/scam.
