Subject: PROPOSITION ...........
Dear Sir,
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of myself and my colleagues.
Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council (NEPC) who was at the Federal Government Delegation to your country during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a confidential cooperation with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top secret because of the nature of this business.
Within the FEDERAL MINISTRY AVIATION where I work as a Director, Project Implementation and with the cooperation of Four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling THIRTY-Five Million United States Dollars (US$35,000,000.00) only, which we want to transfer abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a Foreign Company (Individual) to receive the fund on our behalf or reliable foreign non-company account to receive such fund. The amount represented some percentage of the total contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a Foreign Contracting Firm, which we the officials over-invoiced. Though the actual contract cost have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount, which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by Telegraphic Transfer (T.T.) to foreign bank account you will provide.
Since the present Government of Nigeria is determined to paying every Foreign Contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good relationship with Foreign Government and Non-government Financial Agencies, we have decided to include our bills for approvals with the cooperation of some officials from the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). We are seeking your assistance in providing a good company's account or any other offshore bank account into which we can remit this money by acting as our main partner and trustee or acting as the original contractor. This we can do by swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of our company. This processes being internal arrangement with the department concerned.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be willing to assist us in the transaction. Your share of the sum will be 30% of the US$35,000,000.00 only, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe on your part provided you treat it with secrecy and confidentiality. also your area of specialization is not a hinderance to the successful execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not disappoint me. While we wait for your urgent reply.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
MR. Michael Fayose
