Sir, REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL
BUSINESS RELATIONSHIPIN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF $25,500,000.00
(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AMERICAN DOLLARS) INTO YOUR
ACCOUNT
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from
different Federal Government of Nigeria owned parastatals decided to
solicit your assistance as regards the transfer of the above stated amount
into your bank account.
This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my
parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.We as holders of
sensitive positions in our various parastatals were mandated by the Fedral
Government to scrutinise all payments made to foreign contractors,and
discovered that some of the contracts they executed were grossly over
invoiced, either by omission of commission.
Also, we discovered that the sum of $33,000.000.00 (Thirty three million
American dollars only) was lying in a suspense account,although the
foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlements after executing the
said contracts. We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred
into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct
of Federal Civil Service does not allow us to operate foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring some of the monies,
precisely US$7.5 (Seven million Five Humdred thousand American Dollars)
into a foreign account in Morocco (North Africa), but unfortunately the
provider of the account has severed all forms of communication with us as
he has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement, insisting that
the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before
disbursement will take effect. We are therefore seeking your assistance
based on the balance amount US$25.5M which can be speedily processed and
fully remitted into your nominated bank account. On successful remittance
of the funds into your account, you will be compensated with 20% of the
amount for your assistance and services. This transaction is closely
knitted and in view of our sensitive positions we cannot afford a
slip.
I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. We will avail you
with our identities as regards our respective office when relationship is
fully established and smooth operation commences. I am at your disposition
to entertain any question from you in respect of this transaction, so,
contact me immediately through the above telefax number for further
information on the requirements and procedure. Please note that this is a
DEAL and confidentiality is of very great importance for security reasons.
Please treat with strict confidentiality and utmost urgency.
