Subject: Hello dear
Hello dear
I am Mr. Immanuel Nwude. I am sorry if I have intruded on your privacy
or barged on you without your permission. I have a very rewarding
business offer which I will want us to be involved in together with all
trust,confidentiality and good brotherliness.
I was a member of the organizing committee of the just concluded "ALL
AFRICAN GAMES" which was organized and hosted by Nigeria but before now
I have been the director of sports in the Federal Ministry of Sports.
We were appointed over 3 years ago to supervise the building of the
ultra modern Abuja National Stadium, putting in place all equipments
needed for the completion of the stadium which is acclaimed to be one of
the
best in the world today and hosting the games. This project cost the
government of Nigeria Millions of dollars.
Today the project has been completed commissioned and used for the
hosting of the All African Games and all equipments put in place. The
accounts have been rendered to the government satisfactorily and we have
received commendations for a job well done.
During the construction, planning and execution of this project, I was
able to make some money, which was kept in an escrow account from where
contractors were paid and materials purchsed until the project is
completed. To my amazement late last year I discovered that this money has
reached an astonishing USD22.2 MILLION.I am at a cross road now because
I can not claim this money in my name as I have declared it a
contractors money while depositing it, secondly as a government worker the
civil
service code of conduct does not allow me to own or operate a
domiciliary account with such a huge amount on it due to the credit ceiling
on
savings.
All I want you to do is to assist me in clearing this amount from the
bank while standing as one of the foreign contractors who have executed
projects but has not been paid and on whose behalf I have made the
deposit.
On the payment of this money to you as the contractor I will come to
meet with you so that we can both sit down and discuss further what kind
of business we will enter into or if need be expand your already
existing business, talk on the interests we will get on our investments.
Please feel free to indicate what you will take from this amount, as
this is very important to us before we commence proceedings.
I will tell you more about this when I hear from you. I will give you
every detail and what you are to do.
Regards
IMMANUEL NWUDE
