DEAR SIR/MADAM,
I GUESS THIS LETTER MAY COME TO YOU AS A SURPRISE
SINCE I HAD NO PREVIOUS CORRESPONDENCE WITH YOU.
I AMTHE CHAIRMAN TENDER BOARD OF INDEPENDENT NATIONAL
ELECTORAL COMMISSION (INEC) I GOT YOUR CONTACT IN THE
COURSE OF MY SEARCH THROUGH NIGERIA INTERNATIONAL
INSTITUTE AFFAIRS (NIA) FOR A RELIABLE PERSON LIKE YOU
TO HANDLE A VERY CONFIDENTIAL TRANSACTION INVOLVING
THE SUM OF $39 USD(THIRTY NINE MILLION UNITED
STATES DOLLARS) INTO YOUR PRIVATE ACCOUNT FOR SAFE
KEEPING.
THE ABOVE FUND IN QUESTION IS NOT CONNECTED WITH ARMS,
DRUGS OR MONEY LAUNDERING IT IS THE PRODUCT OF AN OVER
INVOICE ON CONTRACT AWARDED IN APRIL 2003 BY INEC TO A
FOREIGN COMPANY FOR THE SUPPLY OF ELECTORAL MATERIALS
THAT WAS USED FOR CONDUCTING 2003 ELECTION.
THE CONTRACT HAS HAS LONG BEEN EXECUTED AND PAYMENT OF
THE ACTUAL CONTRACT AMOUNT HAS BEEN PAID TO THE
FOREIGN CONTRACTOR LEAVING THE BALANCE OF $39 MILLION
DOLLARS IN A DORMANT ACCOUNT, WHICH MY COLLEAGUES AND
I NOW WANT TO TRANSFER OUT OF NIGERIA INTO RELIABLE
FOREIGN ACCOUNT FOR OUR PERSONAL USE.
AS A CIVIL SERVANT WE DO NOT HAVE THE NECESSARY
FOREIGN ACCOUNT MACHINERY TO SUCCESSFULLY HANDLE THIS
TRANSACTION, THEREFORE IT MAY BECOME NECESSARY TO
SOURCE FOR FOREIGN COMPANY OR AN INDIVIDUAL WITH THE
CAPABILITY TO ACT AS THE ORIGINAL BENEFICIARY OR THE
CONTRACTOR.
DEAR, IT IS GOOD THING THE PRESIDENT HAS ENDORSED THE
RESOLUTION PASSED BY THE SENATE THAT ALL FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS OWED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA
SHOULD BE PAID. WE WILL SEIZE THIS GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO
SUPPORT YOU ACT AS ONE OF THE BENEFICIARY TO BE PAID.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN THIS PROPOSAL KINDLY GET BACK
TO ME BY SENDING ME YOUR LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE ALONG
WITH YOUR DIRECT TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS, BUT IF YOU
CANNOT FOR ANY REASON TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION I
SHOULD BE GRATEFUL, IF YOU CAN INTRODUCE IT TO A
RELIABLE AND TRUST WORTHY PERSON IN WHICH IN ANY CASE
YOUR INTEREST WILL BE PROPERLY TAKEN CARE OF.
MEANWHILE, MY COLLEAGUES AND I HAVE DECIDED TO SHARE
THE MONEY IN THE FOLLOWING RATIO: 60% FOR MY
COLLEAGUES AND me, THEN 30% FOR YOU THE ACCOUNT OWNER
AND 10% FOR ALL LOCAL AND INTERNATIONAL EXPENSES THAT
MAY ARISE IN THE COURSE OF THIS TRANSACTION.
FURTHER DETAILS ABOUT THIS TRANSACTION WILL BE
DISCUSSED IN THE SUBSEQUENT CORRESPONDENCE.
THIS TRANSACTION IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL, BUT 100% RISK
FREE.
NOTE, ALSO THAT THE PARTICULAR NATURE OF BUSINESS IS
IRRELEVANT TO THIS TRANSACTION AND THIS TRANSACTION IS
EXPECTED TO BE CONTINUED WITHIN 12 WORKING DAYS SINCE
ALL LOCAL CONTRACTS AND ARRANGEMENT HAVE BEEN PROPERLY
PERFECTED FOR A SMOOTH AND SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF
THIS TRANSACTION.
PLEASE NOT THERE IS A PASSWORD FOR THIS TRANSACTION
WHICH IS (ALLAH) ON RECEIPT OF YOUR CALL (RESPONSE)
YOU SHOULD ASK FOR THE PASSWORD ANY FAILURE TO ANSWER
CORRECTLY (GOD) PLEASE DISCONTINUE ANY FURTHER
DISCUSSION OR INFORMATION ABOUT YOURSELF AND THE
TRANSACTION. AND ONLY THE PASSWORD (GOD) ALLOWS YOU
TO TALK OR DISCLOSE ANY INFORMATION.
CONTACT: bjohnbright@o2.pl
WAITING FOR YOU URGENT RESPONSE.
BEST REGARDS,
MR.JOHN BRIGHT.
