Dear Sir,
We are a team of Government officials that belongs to a committee in the
Presidential Cabinet as well as the Senate of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
At the moment, we are in need of a very vast businessman or trustworthy
individual who will be capable of handling our investments
offshore.
Based on the recommendation from an associate concerning you, we deemed
it necessary to contact you accordingly.All arrangements in relation to
this initiative as well as the initial capital for this has been tactically
set aside to start off whatever good business or venture you may draw up
a proposal on.
We request you immediately contact us if you will be favourably disposed
to acting as a partner in this venture.This will possibly will afford us
the opportunity of discussing whatever proposal you may come up with.
Also bear in mind that the initial capital that we shall send across will
not exceed $13,600,000,00USD (Thirteen Million, Six Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars). So whatever areas of investment your proposal shall cover,
please it should be within the set aside capital.
Your investment proposal you may wish to discuss with us should be sufficiently
comprehensive for our understanding. It is therefore advised that you focus
on the following:
1. The tax obligation in your country
2. The initial capital base required to finance the
project
3. The legal technicalities in setting up a business in
your
country with foreigners as share-holders
4. The most convenient and secured mode of receiving
the funds
without our direct involvement.
5. The profit margin of the suggested business
Another area that we wish to give you an insight of is the area of Incorporation.
Since we are the owners of the funds, we shall incorporate the business
here, and this will assist us in the
long run to instruct for the remittance of the set aside Capital to you
without any suspicion from any quarter of our direct involvement, and also
should we intend to get established in our country it will appear here as
an already incorporated company with you overseas.
The commencement of this project is based on your ability to convince us
of the need to invest in the business and to trust your personality and
status.
We await your response via either of the e-mail addresses below.
Sincerely,
Hon. W.J. Zwingi
