ATTN:THE MANAGING DIRECTOR.
Dear Sir,
I know this will come to you as a surprise but never mind, I got your contact
in my search for a reputable and trust worthy person/Company, who can stand
confidently with me in this successful business arrangement. Before I proceed,
I will like to introduce my humble self to you.
I am, the Auditor General of a Government Accredited Oil Company here in
Nigeria. Certainly, the prompting of this letter to you is anchored on my
strong desire to solicit your sincere understanding and co-operation in
this transaction that would certainly boost the financial stand of both
parties involved when completed.
As a matter of fact, We want to transfer to overseas (US$ 152,000.000.00
USD) One hundred and Fifty two million United States Dollars) from the Oil
company's operating Bank account here in Africa, I want you to quietly look
for a reliable and honest person who will be capable and fit to provide
either an existing bank account or to set up a new Bank A/C immediately
to receive this money, even an empty account can serve to receive this money,as
long as you will remain honest to me till the end of this important transaction,trusting
in you and believing in God that you wil never let me down either now or
in the near future.
In all honesty, during the course of our auditing I discovered a floating
fund of the above mentioned amount in account opened with the bank in 1990
and since then, nobody has operated on this account again, after going through
some old filesin the records I discovered that the money in the account
was mapped out for the refurbishment of the Oil Company's Machineries. Meanwhile,
Mr. Magnus Leon, the President of the Oil Company was the only signatory
to the account, but unfortunately he died after a brief illness in 1993.
And no other person knows about this account or any thing concerning it,and
the account has no other beneficiary. And my investigation proved to me
that Mr. Magnus Leon, until his death had wanted to siphoned that money
into his personal account in New York hence he did not disclose the operating
devises of the account to the Board
of Trustees.
I am only contacting you in this regard, based on the fact that you are
a foreigner because, this money can only be approved to any foreigner who
can present all documents that will prove that he/she is the Next of Kin/Beneficiary
to the account base on the fact that Mr. Magnus Leon the owner of this account
is a foreigner, and the money can only be approved into a foreign bank account.
Therefore, if you are capable of handling this transaction with me, lets
make the necessary arrangement for the hitch-free transfer of this money
to any safe bank account that you may nominate, on a share percentage bases.
We will start the first transfer with Fifty Two Million USD [$52,000.000]
upon the successful actualization of the first transfer, without any disappointment
from your side; we shall re-apply for the payment of the remaining amount,
to your account.
However, we shall sign a binding agreement, to bind us together as partners
in this regard.I am revealing this to you with believe in God that you will
never let me down in this business, you are the first and the only person
that I am contacting for this business, so please reply urgently and indicate
your sincere interest, so that I can inform you on the modalities already
mapped out for the hitch-free transfer of the money out of Africa here.
I will require your direct phone and fax number for easy contacting you
I need your full co-operation to make this work adequately. Upon your positive
response and once I am convinced that you are capable and Willing to meet
up with the instructions of the top bank official that is deeply involved
with me in this business, I shall commence actions immediately to process
the payment of the money in your favor as the beneficiary.
With my influence and the position of the bank official we can transfer
this money to any reliable foreign bank account, which you can provide.
I am looking forward in anticipation to hearing from you soon as possible.
Yours truly,
Mr. Emeka Imo
