A MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP:
PERMISSION TO REMIT US$35MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY OR PRIVATE ACCOUNT.
With due respect, trust and humility, I write you this proposal believing that it will receive the most
desired attention from you even as we have not had any previous correspondence before. Although I am
constrained by insufficient information about you, but I will express in full the main objectives of this
proposal. This request for your assistance is of mutual benefit to us all. Our company is specialized
in contract syndication, projects consulting,monitoring/supervision and management services.
We would like to solicit your kindness in assisting us to champion the transfer of some fund from our country to
yours for safe keeping. The total amount of fund is US$35million (Thirty-five Million United States
Dollars only).
SOURCE OF THIS FUND:
We have recently used our network of relationships, to secure a contract valued at US$350,000,000.00 (THREE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS only)from the Federal Ministry of Works & Housing
(F.M.W.H.). This contract was in favour of a Foreign based Multi-national company. This contract has been
fully executed and the contractors have already received their payments from the Ministry of Works &
Housing.
However, before the contract was awarded, we had understanding with officials of Federal Ministry of
Works & Housing, that 10% (TEN PERCENT) of the total contract sum would be our commission for our services
in recommending the contractors and for helping to conduct various negotiations leading to final
agreement. This 10% amounting to US$35,000,000 (THIRTY-FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ) is due
for payment to a foreign account of our choice. This amount is owned by our goodselves, some top officials
of Central Bank, and Federal Ministry of Works & Housing.
Basically, you would be required to nominate a suitable Bank Account that will conveniently
accommodate the total fund. Account could be a fresh or an already existing one, and could be individual or
corporate account. All necessary arrangement have been put in place only for you to reconfirnm your contacts
to my most private email address:dralbertharris1@yahoo.it ,so to enable us procced.
please note that your full contact will be required,such as most direct
telephone and fax numbers for easy communications.
Awiats your quick and possitive responce,
Remain bless.
Mr.Albert Harris.
