We are top government officials and currently members of
the Federal Government of Nigeria, Contract Review Panel.
We are interested in the importation of goods into our

The prosecuting of a transaction of this Magnitude
Requiring Maximum Confidence and Trust.
In order to commence this business, we solicit your

up companies and awarded themselves and their cohorts
contracts which were grossly over invoiced in various
ministries. As part of its inaugural policy, the present
civilian government of OLUSEGUN OBASANJO set up a Contract
Review Panel, a panel in which we are members.
In the course of our investigation we identified
over-invoiced contract fund US$25.5 Million which are
presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for
payment to any contractor with formal Bonfire claim.
However, by virtue of our position as civil servants, we
are not permitted by law to operate foreign account. This
is why we are asking for your assistance to provide the
necessary documents to facilitate the transfer of this fund
into any account you will nominate of course. You shall be
adequately compensated, 30% shall be yours while my
colleagues and I shall have 65%, the remaining 5% shall be

in this transaction.
This transaction is expected to be concluded within (10)
bank working days on the receipt of your bank particulars,
your bank name and address, account number, name of
beneficiary, telephone and fax numbers of the bank, your
company name and address, telephone, fax numbers and your
company s letter-headed paper. When we receive the above
information from you by fax, we shall apply and obtain the
necessary payment approvals from the relevant authorities
including the Federal Ministry of Finance (F.M.F) which
shall allocate you or your company foreign exchange cover
for US$25.5million you or your company shall be officially
regarded as the beneficiary of the funds.
When the money is transferred to your account, open
confirmation from you that the fund has been credited unto
your Nominated Bank Account, my colleagues and I will come
over to your country for the sharing of the fund to
commence our Importation Business. Lets trust that absolute
confidentiality be our watchword throughout this business
transaction. Your line of business does not matter.
However, your prompt reply will enable us to expedite
action by forwarding the information (your bank

Thanks and best regards.
