ACCOUNT.
It is my warmest pleasure writing you this confidential business offer irrespective of the fact that we have not met before or done any thing that will speak of absolute confidence but nevertheless, an adage says a day begins a story and it is in line of this strong perspective that I am very determined to communicate you with much conviction that you will give my proposal a second thought and consideration.

My Agency is to produce and export NLG and NGL safely, reliably and profitable, and grow business to it full potential, helping to put out flares in Nigeria and by the virtue of my unique position in office as the General Manager Finance. The commission elevated me to become the chairman of foreign contract tender board committee whose responsibility is to award and supervise foreign contract to ensure that it is executed promptly.
Consequently, I as the chairman of the tender board committee in collaboration with two other top committee members over-invoice certain contract for the supply of Petroleum Pipe and Computers. The initial cost of the contract was pegged at US$60 million, but after the feasibility study that was done, while submitting my report to the office of the presidency for final approval, we deliberately inflated the cost to an excess amount of US$ 30.5 million making the cost to be US$ 90.5 million.
Right now, the reason of contacting you is that we are constrained to claim the fund due to certain laws enacted by the Federal Government guiding civil service code of conduct Bureau which prohibits top civil servants working under Government establishment from operating offshore or foreign Account and this situation has kept us in a fix to openly come forward to claim the outstanding balance of US$30.5 million, hence after series of private meetings we decided to make contact in order to get a reliable foreign partner of whom we will forward his or her credentials to claim the fund based on mutual trust and agreement. In a nutshell, we need your assistance and support to claim this fund so that at the later time convenient for us, we will come over to your country after the funds have been transferred into your given account to meet you and collect our own percentage while you will keep the rest as yours.
For your support and total dedication to realize the objectives of this project, you shall be entitled to 25% of the total sum, 5% for miscellaneous expense like telephone bill, E.T.C, while 70% of the fund will be share between myself and my Colleagues involved in this project. NOTE, you are vividly assured that you will not be subjected to any kind of risk, be hunt or hurt for your support and involvement in this venture during and after the completion of this project, hence we have piloted a good strategy to ensure that the operation for the documentation of this project goes smoothly of which we have targeted two weeks duration to accomplished our AIM IN HAVING THE FUNDS RELEASED FOR PAYMENT IN YOUR NAME AND REMITTANCE BE EFFECTED TO YOUR GIVEN ACCOUNT.
Kindly treat and handle this matter with ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY because the officials involved are still in service and some of us intend to resign our appointment immediately after the transaction is finalized. I look forward to hearing positively from you and if you have any question, be very free to ask me in your response to me.
