Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE
TRANSFER OF US$20.5,000,000.00 (TWENTY MILLION,FIVE HUNDERD THOUSAND 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 $25.5 000,000.00
(Twenty five million,five hunderd thousand American Dollars only)was lying
in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid
their entitlements 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$5.0M (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$5.0Million
(Five million only) we are not compensated, how can one guarantee full compensation
on remittance of the balance of US$20.5 million (Twenty million,Five hundred
thousand American dollars only).
We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount of
US$20.5 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 10% are set aside for expenses contingency after the transaction
has been concluded and 60% will be 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 thistransaction is 100% risk free. We will also
want you to showcase your identities as regards your position and occupation
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,if you find it in your haert to help us and find
yourself capable to handle this transaction with us, contact me immediately
through my Alternetive e-mail address (ogroupng101@yahoo.com) only for further
information on the requirements and procedure.
Please, note that this DEAL needs utmost confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Goerge Ogbenna.
