From: Debt Management Office
Subject: Invitation to Claim Fund

We have received the instruction of the President and Commander-in-Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mr. Umaru Musa Yar'Adua, to make a payment of your debt in the sum of US$5,600,000 (Five million, six hundred thousand United States dollars only) discovered in our books of contractors being owed by the people and government of Nigeria.

The above payment arose from a construction contract which you and your company executed in Nigeria but was not paid for as a result of change in government at that time as is shown in our books. It has been quite a long time that we have been searching for your contact details to the extent that we have contacted your country's embassy in Nigeria to locate you without success.

The Debt Management Office (DMO) of Nigeria was setup for the purpose of providing a one stop shop for clearing all Nigerian government debts for all levels, i.e, inheritance funds, contract funds, lottery wins etc. that emanates from Nigeria, which some local Nigerian banks could not pay for one reason or the other. The Office came into existence by the act of the government.

The establishment of an effective and efficient debt management system is now widely recognized as a major element of a sound economic management strategy, because of the crucial link with fiscal and monetary policies as well as overall macroeconomic economic management.

Based on the above, we kindly ask you to indicate your interest in claiming the above sum by providing your receiving bank details where you want us to remit the above sum in your favour.

Regards,

Abraham Nwankwo
Director General
Debt Management Office
Abuja, Nigeria

Hey, one from Nigeria, finally! Still, it says "sound economic management strategy" right there. Sounds legit to me.
