Dear Sir/Madam
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE
TRANSFER OF US$10,000,000.00 (TEN MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY)I,
on behalf of my other colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria
owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards the transfer
of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from
the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain
foreign contractors sometime ago.
We as holders of official positions in our various parastatals, were mandated
by this new civilian government to scrutinize all payments made to certain
foreign contractors by the past military government, and we discovered that
some of the contracts they executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by
omission or commission. Also, we discovered that the sum of $15,000,000.00
(Fifteen million American Dollars only) was lying in a suspense account,
although the foreign contractors were fully paid theirentitlements after
executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own
use) into a bank account
provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct of the Federal civil
service does not allow
us to operate foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring some of these monies, precisely
US$5M (five million
American Dollars only) into a foreign account in GENEVA (SWITZERLAND) last
week, but unfortunately the provider of the account has severed all forms
of contacts with us as he has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement
insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account
before disbursement will take effect. If for US$5.Million (Five million
only) we are not compensated, how can one guarantee full compensation on
remittance of
the balance of US$10 million (Forty million American dollars only).
We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount of
US$10 Million which can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your
nominated bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account,
you will be compensated with 30% of the amount for assistance and services,
while 70% is for me and my colleagues.
This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our SENSITIVE POSITION
we cannot afford a slip, I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices
when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences.
I am at your disposition to entertain any question(s) from you in respect
of this transaction, so, contactme immediately through my e-mail or the
above telephone numbers for further information on the requirements and
procedure.
Please, note that this DEAL needs utmost confidentiality. Call me on 234-1-8034086397
Yours faithfully,
BARR:PAUL WILLIAMS
