Dear friend,
I got your contract through the world trade Encyclopedia during my search
for a reliable individual/company who can jointly handle strictly
confidential transaction with me which involves the transfer of a
reasonable sum of money to a foreign bank account. Due to the nature of this
business transaction, a neutral person like you is preferred.
For introductory purpose, I AM AHLAJI DANGOYARO USNMAN .a member of the
Contract Review Panel set up by the present civilian government of Nigeria
to look into all contract awards and payments to foreign contractors by all
her agencies with a view of ascertaining their genuineness. In the course
of our investigation, it was discovered that every contractor has been paid
his or her entitlement in full,but in the suspense account of the Nigeria
National Petroleum corporation with STANDARD TRUST BANK OF NIGERIA PLC we
found about US$35.5m. Further findings revealed that it was as a result of
the over-invoicing of certain contracts by officials of the Petroleum
Corporation.
With no one laying claims to this over-invoiced amount, the Contract Review
Panel unanimously decided to transfer this money into a foreign bank
account for their personal use. But because the code of conduct of the
Federal civil service does not permit us (civil servants) to operate
foreign accounts, we decided to solicit your assistance in transferring the
fund.
In order to test the sincerity of a Morrocan we had intended transfering the
money into his account, we first transferred the sum of US$5m into his
account but suprisingly, he refused to disburse our own share of the money
to us threatening to report us to the Federal Government of our country,
hence, our resolve to remit the balance of US$30.5m into the account of a
reliable,Trustworthy and sincere individual or organisation.
To begin the transaction therefore, you are expected to make available
through e-mail address the following information without further delay.
1. YOUR COMPANY NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
2. YOUR BANK NAME, ADDRESS, TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBERS.
3. YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND SWIFT CODE NUMBER.
4. YOUR HOME TELEPHONE AND FAX NUMBER.
On receipt of the above information, application will be made in your name
to the relevant government agencies to procure approvals, recognising you
as the original/bonafide beneficiary of the said contract entitlement.
What this means is that claims to the fund will be through your name. You
are therefore to act as the contractor who executed the contract for the
said amount here in Nigeria and now wants payment for work done. Note, that
with our positions in the civil- service, arrangements have been concluded
to have the approvals issued to you as soon as the requested information is
made available.
For your services, you will be entitled to 20% of the total amount, 75% will
be for the Panel members that includes my humble self while the remaining 5%
will be for the settlement of expenses incurred by both parties in the
course of carrying out the transaction.As top civil servants, anything that
will jeopardise our over 20 years of selfless service to the nation must be
avoided in order not to be labelled economic saboteurs. Therefore, we
implore you to keep everything about this deal strictly confidential until
the
funds has been transferred.
For further details, get in touch with me through my e-mail address and
telephone line and if you adhere strictly to instructions, this transaction
will be concluded within 9 (nine) working days from the date of receipt of
particulars requested. Note furthermore that the information required is
important ingredients to the successful consumation of this deal. We have
concluded all the necessary underground works to facilitate the smooth
transfer of the funds into an account that you will norminate and send to
us. All the security details have also been concluded. For instance, I have
concluded arrangements to retrieve and destroy all the documents connected
with this funds transfer as soon as the funds arrive in your bank account.
This measure is simply to ensure that the funds is not traced to you now or
in the future.
Your security is guaranteed. As I await your prompt response, remember to
keep the transaction strictly confidential at all times. For security of
this transaction, you are to direct all communication with me through my
EMAIL;
usmandanjkl@yahoo.co.uk or dangoyarousmanjkl@yahoo.co.uk
Best Regards,
AHLAJI DANGOYARO USNMAN.
