ATTN:THE PRESIDENT/CEO
FROM:DR.JUDE OMONAEFE
ATT:
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and success
in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in this letter.
Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must first implore you
to treat with the utmost confidentiality as this is required for its success
and to have faith in this transaction,for opportunities like this only
comes to
one once in a life time.
My colleagues and I are senior officials of the Federal Government of my
country's Contracts Review Panel (CRP) who are interested in diverting some
funds that are presently floating in the accounts of the Apex Bank of my
country.In order to commence this transaction, we solicit for your assistance
to enable us transfer into your nominated account the said floating funds.
We are determined to conclude the transfer before the end of this quarter
of 2004.
The source of the funds are as follows: During the last military regime
in my country,government officials set up companies and awarded themselves
contracts that were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries and parastatals.
The present civilian government set up the Contract Review Panel,
which has the mandate to use the instruments of payments made available
to it by the decree setting up the panel, to review these contracts and
if necessary pay those who are being owed outstanding amounts.
My colleagues and I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds which
are presently floating in our (Apex) Central Bank ready for disbursement
and would like to divert some of it for our own purposes. However, by virtue
of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot
acquire
these funds in our names or in the names of companies that are based in
my country.
I have therefore been mandated,as a matter of trust by my colleagues in
the panel, to look for a reliable overseas partner into whose account we
can transfer the sum of U.S.$20,500,000.00 (Twenty million, five hundred
thousand U.S. dollars).That is why I am seeking your assistance. We have
agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account, if you agree
with our proposition as follows;
(i)25% to the account owner(you).
(ii)65% for us (the panel officials).
(iii)10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us) incidental
to the actualization of this project.
We wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in foreign stock
markets and other viable business till we are ready and able to have access
to them without raising any eyebrows here at home. Please note that this
transaction is 100% safe and risk-free.
We intend to effect the transfer within fourteen (14)banking days from the
date of receipt of the following information through the ifax number stated
above:Your company's name,address,telephone and fax numbers we will use
your company's name to apply for the payment and backdate the award of the
contract in favour of your company. We are looking forward to doing this
transaction with you and we solicit for your utmost confidentiality in this
transaction.
I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when I
hear from you.
Please reply to my alternative email address:omonefe@latinmail.com
Best regards,
DR.JUDE OMONAEFE
