Subject: Read and make contact with me
From: Mr. Osmond David
Claims and Authorization Officer
Judicial Commission on Foreign Contract Payment
Federal Republic of Nigeria, London Liaison Office, United Kingdom
Dear Friend,
I am Osmond David and I am in charge of the Judicial Commission on Foreign
Contract Payment, Nigeria/London. The reason why I am sending this mail to
you is to inform you that the Federal Government of Nigeria have decided to
pay all owed persons/companies their contract payment/inheritance funds that
have been outstanding since the last regime, the new President of my country
made a promise to the International community that all local and
International debts must be settled in his tenure. My office is charge of
final clearance for payment to any individual/person that is to be paid so I
want to use the opportunity to include your name/company name in the list of
Government contractors that is to be paid by the Nigerian Government so that
you can receive the payment of US$10Million as one of the foreign
contractors.
The US$10Million came into existence as a result of an over-invoice which I
did on another contractor's payment, the contractor's payment was actually
US$41Million but I intentionally raised it to US$51Million, the contractor
from Iran have been paid the sum of US$41Million as his original contract
amount leaving me with the top up balance of US$10Million which I have set
aside for myself pending when I make contact with a sincere and trusted
person that I can entrust the money to for investment purposes, the money is
in a secret and coded account in one of the Nigerian banks and can only be
transferred to a foreign bank account because as a Government official still
serving the Nigerian Government, I am not supposed to operate a local or
foreign bank account with huge deposit of US$10Million.if you accept my
proposal and agree to be my partner, I shall present your name to the
Government of Nigeria and the office of the Presidency in conjunction with
the Senate committee on Foreign Contract Payment shall approve the
US$10Million in your name for immediate payment to you provided you are
cleared and authorized by me. After the deal is concluded, I will travel and
meet with you in your country for us to share the money thus: 30% of the
money will be for you while 70% will be for me. If you are interested, do
contact me as soon as possible and send me your contact address,
telephone/fax numbers and if possible your bank account details where you
want the US$10Million to go into. I will like you to contact me quickly on
my private email address: osmonddavid@sify.com
Yours sincerely,
Mr. Osmond David
NB: I am presently in London but I will be in Nigeria to perfect the
ownership of the US$10Million in your name if you agree to conclude this
deal with me.
