Subject: ATTN:
Dear sir/madam,
Although 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 am the director,
fund co-coordinator of the Finance Contract Department of Nigerian Ports
Authority. The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department
of the NPA eliberately over-inflated the contract values of various
contract awarded. In the course of disbursement my office was able to
track down the sum of US$45M (Forty Five Million U.S Dollars) as the over
invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the NPA domiciliary account
with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). My colleagues and I now want to
quickly transfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for
possible investment abroad.
We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign
account because of our status as civil/public servants. 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) 30% for you as the account owner
2) 60% for I and my colleagues
3) 10% 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% safe considering the high-powered government officials involved.
Send to me by email the following information: -
1) Your company name and address, bank name, address and account number.
2) Your private email address, telephone and fax number for effective
communication.
This is to affect the Swift Transfer of this fund into
your account in less than Seven (7) working days.
Please note that this business is strictly confidential and must not be
disclosed to third party. This is necessary to avoid any disclosure that
may jeopardize the transaction. If this proposal is acceptable to you, or
if you have any question, feel free to reach me immeadiately, i will
oblige you with further information.
Expecting your mail Immediately while looking forward to a healthy
business relationship with you.
