URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
RESPOND TO princendukaadams@yahoo.co.in
Dear Sir,
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 deliberately 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
you’re 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.And you should not entertain any
fear as all the loopholes have covered as people that matters are
involves in this business transaction.
Expecting your mail
immediately while looking forward to a healthy
business relationship with you.
Sincerely yours,
Prince Nduka Adams.
