Subject: Discreet Letter / Introduction.

You're not the beneficiary of the funds you attempted to claim, study the letter below for more details.

Dear Friend,

Nigeria, one of the most prosperous nations in the 70's and 80's is fast losing his trends to massive corruption, economic crises and religious militancy in recent times. Forgive this informal manner of contacting you; coupled with the fact that, so many miscreants have taken possession of the Internet to facilitate their nefarious deeds, thereby making it difficult for genuine people to get attention. My name is Frederick Akintola, I am a senior staff of the Nigerian code of Conduct Bureau. A panel of inquiry has testified before the Federal Executive Council (FEC) hearing that foreign collaborators also participated in the financial misconducts recorded in the past regimes by providing offshore bank accounts used by politicians to launder looted funds to overseas.

At the last constitutional review conference, It was revealed that between 1979 to 2010, members of the administrative class which consist of both the military and democratic administrators misappropriated billions of dollars from various government entities and the perpetrators of most financial scandals that appeared on the front pages of newspaper are still seen as nobles and elder statesmen in the society. Virtually all the monetary agencies in the world confirmed that African politicians launder looted funds in foreign accounts with the collaboration of foreign partners; in most cases, these foreign actors are mainly appointed basically as entrepreneurs to administer multinational investments owned by government personnel.

It has been confirmed by analysts that the widely spread e-letters scam is an insight which was gotten from the strategy used by corrupt officials in the 70’s to launder looted funds to overseas; it was said that the use of foreigners to set up false inheritance claims and illegal allocation of oil contracts to the favour of an unconfirmed foreigner were mostly used by corrupt officials to launder public funds. The reason why the finance minister could not approve a withheld sum of Twenty Million United States Dollars (US$20M) to a beneficiary is my aim of writing you. Record has it that in the past ten years, over fifteen foreign applicants had so far attempted to claim the said amount including yourself. Though, the said fund is 100% genuine, but this truth might be difficult to accept by any homosapien as it's absurd for many applicants to lay claim over a particular fund.

You may find it surprising that your application to claim this same fund some years ago is still recognized by the judiciary and that has automatically qualified you as one of the applicant and also placed you in the best position to receive the fund. There can only be one beneficiary of the above sum (US$20M), and as a result of the intervention of the federal executive council, I was appointed to head a six-man panel with a mandate to verify the rightful beneficiary of this fund. Investigations were carried out but we could not trace the origin of this fund to neither you nor other applicants that have shown interest to claim this fund. Prior to this time, I usually recommend such funds for confiscation, but I decided that this particular fund must be claimed since it has become a tradition for officials in the treasury department to embezzle confiscated funds kept in their custody.

It's appalling to know that since the advent of the democratic system of governance in 1999, the treasury department has not been able to account for all the recovered loots that were referred to their custody by the anti-corruption agencies. As the lead investigator, I have worked out modalities to ensure that this fund will not be confiscated and referred to the custody of the state treasury department so that those officials will not have the opportunity to embezzle it. On this note, I decided to make a deal with any applicant to have he/she declared by my panel as the beneficiary of this fund. I have done a background assessment of all the applicants presented to the bureau for verification and I find you trustworthy to work with and also in the best position to render me the needed support.

I hereby seek your consent to declare you as the beneficiary of this fund; I will have every certified documents arranged in your name to enable you receive this fund as a sub-contractor who has executed a contract for the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation. Upon your confirmation that the said amount is in your bank account, I will send you my late wife’s orphanage bank account where you will remit 50% of the stated sum (US$10M) as a foreign donor then keep the balance of 50% (US$10M) as your commission. Though, you are not the definite beneficiary of this fund either, but I will have it bestowed on you because the only possible avenue to avoid this fund from being embezzled is to declare you as the beneficiary.

My late wife had great passion for humanitarian aid and actualizing her vision will be my greatest assignment to accomplish with my share of this fund. Be rest assured that no risk is involved, I have mapped out strategies to enable us conclude this venture without hitch. I am on the verge of my retirement and would like us to finalize this venture before my exit from office. If you consider my offer of 50%- 50% split, please indicate your interest by providing your mobile phone number for more details.

Thanks in anticipation; I hope to read from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours Faithfully,

Frederick Akintola.
