> Dear Sir,
>
> I am DR USMAN SHEHU, member committee of the above department
> Terms of Reference
> My term of reference involves the award of contracts to multinational
> companies.
> My office is saddled with the responsibility of contract award, screening,
> categorization and prioritization of projects embarked upon by Department
of
> Petroleum Resources (DPR) as well as feasibility studies for selected
> projects and supervising the project consultants involved. A breakdown of
> the fiscal expenditure by this office as at the end of last fiscal quarter
> of 2000 indicates that DPR paid out a whooping sum of US$736M(Seven
Hundred
> And Thirty Six Million, United States Dollars) to successful contract
> beneficiaries. The DPR is now compiling beneficiaries to be paid for the
> third Quarter of 2002.
> The crux of this letter is that the finance/contract department of the DPR
> deliberately over -invoiced the contract value of the various contracts
> awarded. In the course of disbursements, this department has been able to
> accumulate the sum of US$38.2M(Thirty-eight Million, two hundred Thousand
> U.S Dollars) as the over-invoiced sum. This money is currently in a
suspense
> account of the DPR account with the Debt Reconciliation Committee (DRC).

> now seek to process the transfer of this fund officially as contract
payment
