Subject: URGENT PROPOSAL
From: Mr.Camooru Eluwa
Greetings,
I am contacting you with trust and confidence even though we have not met
before and because of the nature of the business I am about to introduce. I
want to remain positive having the faith that you will be capable to do
business with us.
My name is Camooru Eluwa, I am the manager of the National Electric Power
Authority(N.E.P.A) Lagos head quarters (annex).As the manager of this
corporation, I am entitled to look into every department, to make sure that
everything is working out fine.By the way, I have been the manager of this
branch for about four(4) years now.
So in the course of my duty, I discovered that the accounts of the
corporation
were not corresponding, So I summoned the accountant, it was in the course
of
our investigations that lasted for about 8 (Eight) days that we discovered
that
about $12.5M(Twelve Million Five Hundred Thousand dollars) has been floating
in
this corporations account for quite some time now.
Further investigations revealed to us that the former manager (of blessed
memory) had over invoiced a contract that has already been executed and
payment
done before I assumed office. Moreover this money has already been approved
for
payment before the demise of the late manager and I can bet that the late
manager had wanted to keep the money before he died.
Based on this, I and on behalf of my accountant who is also my only partner
in
this deal, seek in confidence your assistance to help us hold this money in
confidence pending when we shall come over for proper disbursement and
possible
investment in your country.
Presently, We have transferred the money to the Apex Bank of Nigeria forex
account from which it will be paid to you. We have agreed to let you have
10%
of the money or about $1.25m while I and my partner will keep the remaining
amount .
This transaction is neither risky nor illegal as the money has already been
approved for payment, all we need do is to present your particulars as the
beneficiary of the fund and the payment will be made in your favor.
According
to my accountant, this transaction is expected to last a maximum of
twelve(12)
working days from the date of assumption.
Please you have to keep this transaction very confidential because of the
officers involved, we do not want to jeopardize our jobs even after this
transaction is concluded.
Further directives will be sent to you as soon as I receive you positive
reply.
Best regards,
Camooru Eluwa.
