DIRECTOR FINANCE
Dear Sir,
URGENT INVESTMENT PROPOSAL.
=======================
Though this proposal might come to you as a surprise,since it is from
someone you do not know or have seen before, but based on recommendations, I
gathered from a very reliable source here in Nigeria, I herewith make this
proposal to you which is mutually beneficial to all.I am the director, fund
co-ordinator of the FINANCE CONTRACT DEPARTMENT OF NIGERIAN PORTS
AUTHORITY. The crux of this letter is that the finance/contract department
of the NPA deliberately over inflated the contract values of various
contracts awarded during the past government. In the course of auditing, my
office was able to
track down the sum of US$32.5m(Thirty Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand US.
Dollars) as the over invoiced sum.
This money is now floating in the NPA domiciliary account with the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I and my colleagues now want to quickly transfer
this fund to safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad.
We are not allowed as a matter of government polilcy to operate any foreign
account because of our status as civil/public servant. Hence the need to
solicit for your full banking details, to enable us transfer this money into
your account. Upon your acceptance of this proposal, we have also agreed on
a sharing ratio:-
(1) 35% for you as the account owner
(2) 60% for I and my colleagues
(3) 5% will be set aside to defray all
incidental expenses both locally and internationally during the course of
this transaction.Furthermore, we shall be coming over to your country when
the money is finally in your account and we shall be relying on your advise
as regards to investment of our share. Be informed that, this business is
genuine and 100% risk free considering the high-powered government officials
involved.Send by email the following information:-(1) Your company name and
address, bank name,address and account number.(2)Your telephone and fax
number for effective communication.
This is to effect the Swift Transfer of this fund into your account in less
than seven (7) working days.Contact me strictly on email immediately while
looking forward to a healthy bussiness. Expecting a relationship with you.
Take notice that all documents required to authenticate our claim having
you, as a front will be secured from this end. As such, the legitimacy and
secuirty of every party involved is guaranteed.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Nkwocha Kenneth,
Director
