Dear Sir,
I am writing to you for a joint business transaction. I got your
particulars from the Director of Foreign Trade Office in Nigeria
Chamber of Chamber of Commerce, Mines and Agriculture. I got a good recommendation
about you, which inspired me to contact you for this transaction.
I am Dr.Donald Edochie the Director of the Monetary / Domestic Banking Operations
at the Central Bank of Nigeria(Federal Reserve Bank Of Nigeria). I am 54
years old and due to retire within the next two years.Two other Directors
with the Central Bank of Nigeria and myself are looking for a reliable person
or company that will assist us to receive the sum of Thirty-five Million
United States Dollars (US$35,000,000.00).
The said amount was gotten from an over invoiced contract awarded to a Yugoslavian
Company during the past two Military Regimes, in Nigeria.The Yugoslavian
Company has been paid and this over invoice amount it still floating in
the Suspense Coded Account. My colleagues and I have decided that you invest
part of the funds in Stock Market in your country on our behalf. If this
proposal is acceptable to you, please send an e-mail through my confidential
e-mail address stating your Company
Name, Telephone/Fax Numbers, Address and Bank particulars where the funds
will be transferred.
Please, note that we are willing to compensate you with 25% of the total
funds for receiving the funds in your account, while I and my colleagues
will keep 72% of the funds part of which you will invest on our behalf,
while 3% will be set aside to reimburse you and i whatever money we may
spend in course of making the transfer success. As workers with the government
and in line with the New Anti-corruption Act law, of the present civilian
government the of the President of Nigeria (Chief Olusegun Obasanjo), we
are not allowed to operate foreign
accounts, that is why we are seeking your immediate assistance for the successful
transfer of this fund.
Be informed that you are in no way at risk regarding this transaction, as
we have put all necessary machinery in place to facilitate the transfer
of the fund.Upon receipt of the above particulars, we will immediately start
the process for the release of the funds to any account of your choice,
which
is to be concluded within 14 banking days, and if there is any more expenses
that is needed for the success of this transaction we all should work with
one spirit for success, to make sure we transfer the funds very fast out
of the bank, because we have done the necessary underground expenses to
secure the funds in a CODED ACCOUNT and we have kept some good money to
cover any other expenses. We assure that upon successful conclusion of this
transaction, we could do more business with you in
future. Looking forward to your kind response.
Yours Faithfully
Dr.Donald Edochie
