Dear friend,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE TO TRANSFER MONEY INTO YOUR COUNTRY
Please I need your help urgently.It is my pleasure in writing to you this letter on behalf of myself and colleagues. Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Saudi Arabian Export Promotion council(S.E.P.C) who was among the Kingdom's government delegation to your country.
I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties concerned and I hope you will keep this a top secret because of the nature of the business and the positions of the officials involved.
Within the Saudi Arabian Mining Company where I am Project Implementation Director and with the co-operation of my colleague, we have in our possession as over-due payments bills totalling $68m(Sixty Eight Million United States Dollars) that we wish to transfer abroad with the assistance and co-operation of a foreign company or individual who is to receive the said funds on our behalf through a reliable foreign account which can accomodate such funds with minimal taxation.
The amount represents 10% percent of the total contract value in respect of some jobs executed on behalf of our Petroleum Ministry by a foreign contracting firm which we the officials over-invoiced.
The actual cost have been paid to the original main contractors, leaving outstanding, the balance of the above sum of USD68m(Sixty Eight Million U.S. Dollars) which we have in principle officially gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer(T.T) to the nominated foreign account of the beneficiary.
We had listed a company Orient Petroleum Services as the beneficiary of this balance of USD$68,000,000. Now I come to you for your assistance because I do intend to invest my own part of the funds in viable investment in your country, which investment will benefit from your experience.
Following the death of our King, the present government of Saudi Arabia is determined to pay every contractor all debts owed so as to maintain a good relationship with friendly foreign Governments to enjoy their political support in the middle East Region and all other non-government financial agencies. We had decided therefore, to include this our bills for approval and we have obtained the approvals for release of the funds.
We are seeking your assistance in providing a good bank account in your country into which we can remit this money and by acting as our main partner and trustee and co-ordinate the receiving of this funds on our behalf. We have filed documents to show that the beneficiary of the funds is Orient Petroleum Services,a company which we allege is based in your country.
All applications for claims to reflect the payment and approval in the name of this company has been completed and filed with the Saudi Finance Ministry.The ministry is now awaiting the final beneficiary account to issue the Payment Instruction.
You will therefore act on behalf of the company for the purpose of receiving this payment into your nominated account. These processes are all internal arrangements with the departments concerned and we are here to watch over the processing of the release of the payment to the account which you make available to us.
I have the authority of my partners to propose that should you be willing to assist in this transaction your share of the sum will be 20%,while 80% is for us.
Please note that we have made this business itself 100% safe for our own security provided you treat it with utmost confidentiality and secrecy on your side.
I repose my confidence in you and hope that you will not sit on the money as soon as it hits your account and I will be with you in your country immediately I file the bank account that you provide with the appropriate Saudi departments.
Finally sir, on acceptance of this request,please send your initial reply to my present email address. You must also provide us immediately with your direct phone and fax numbers and your safe email address(es).
I will send to you a Fund Management Agreement upon receiving your reply.This Agreement will take care of the funds we will invest in your country.
Thanks for your co-operation.
