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 both of us.
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 want to quickly transfer this fund to safe nominated foreign account for
possible investment abroad. I am not allowed as a matter of government
polilcy to operate any foreign account because of my status as civil/public
servant. Hence the need to solicit for your full banking details, to enable
the transfer of this money into your account. Upon your acceptance of this
proposal,
I have agreed on a sharing ratio:-
(1) 35% for you as the account owner.
(2) 60% for me.
(3) 5% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and
internationally during the course of this transaction.
Furthermore, I shall be coming over to your country when the money is
finally in your account and I shall be relying on your advise as regards to
investment of my 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.Abiola Julius,
