BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am Mr. Paul Ibe an accountant with NIPPC , a senior member of its contract
award committee board and a key member of the Federal Contract Award
Committee to the NIPPC. I do have an urgent need for a trust worthy foreign
contact person with whom I can carry out a successful business deal.
Four of our Refineries and one Liquefied Natural Gas Plant have been bad all
these years, and now the Present Elected Democratic Government has voted the
sum of US$1.86 Billion for the repairs and turn around maintenance . In view
of this, we have started awarding new contracts to that effect.
As an incentive to do a good job and finished promptly, the Federal
Government makes 75% upfront payment to successful bidders. Looking at what
has been happening in Nigeria and other African Countries, every wise
businessman and Government Official is trying to push out any money he can
lay his hands on so that incase anything happens, they will have something
they can fall back on and be rest assured overseas on retirement. Based on
this, we wish to transfer US$85.050 for disbursement that we have just
secured access to push out. But because we are citizen and still working
civil servant, we cannot move this money out ourselves. Though we have made
an attempt before which was an unsuccessful cash movement of US$800 million
that was disrupt at the Murtala Mohammed International Airport On August 12,
1995 by the Nigerian Customs and Air- port Security Officials, hence we
decide now to carry out this project via TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. At this
point in time we therefore need an honest, trustworthy and reliable
assistance of a foreigner who will be a kind and honest person to us and
will not disappoint us at the end of this transaction.
I want you to summit immediately your complete Company name and address if
you have one, your name as President or Managing Director / C.E.O of the
company, your Banking Particulars:- (Bank?s Name & Address, Telephone, Fax
and Telex numbers. Your Receiving Account Numbers, Swift and Routing
Numbers). With this information, I can get you properly registered as one of
the contractors to NIPPC who has already been awarded this contract for the
sum of US$113.4 million to supply, install and service some of the
REFINERIES PLANTS PARTS which documents I already have in my custody.
After receiving the above needed and stated information from you, I will
process all the documentation in your name through an attorney, and summit
them for immediate approvals, and the Federal Government will pay 75% of the
total sum of US$113.4M into your given account. In no time, the remaining of
the US$28.35 Million shall be paid as balance payment or we together in
agreement as partners will use another foreign firm?s name that will carry
out the plants servicing documentation as a sub-contractor to your company
in our follow up documentation to receive the balance payment. I shall come
to your Country immediately this fund is in your account to share the
US$85.05 million.
The sharing pattern is as follows:- We will give to you 25% of the total
sum, 5% will be set aside for all expenses incurred during the transacting
period and 70% will be for me and my colleague. However, be rest assured
that no risk is involved or any scandal in the future, for we have done all
our homework very well, nobody will be hunt or hurt during and after this
transaction. It may also please you to know that all the GOODS that covers
the 75% payment of this contract had earlier been supplied by other
contractors whose contract were cancelled half way during the past Military
Regime Of Gen. Sanni Abacha. No record of this exists anywhere only the two
of us that are key members of the contract board committee has this
knowledge and information so there is the serious need to keep this
transaction secret and very confidential. To that effect, I would require
your private phone and fax numbers for easy and confidential communication.
I await your immediate respond to this PROPOSAL.
Meanwhile, I look forward to establishing a life long business relationship
with you.
Best regards,
Mr. Paul Ibe
