Strictly Confidential:
My Dear,
I am making this contact with you strictly on anticipated confidential and
private business relationship with you which will be rooted on absolute
trust that there will be no form of betrayal from you.
My names are Alhaji Mamudu Waziri, a Senator of the Federal Republic of
Nigeria. I am the head of the Senate Committee on petroleum resources. My
colleagues and I in this committee request that you partner with us to lay
claims for $600 Million Dollars, an excess from approved contract funds for
rehabilitation of our Refineries which we confidentially diverted to a
finance house which will be disclosed to you in due course of events. The
finance house contact details will also be released to you in due course
after we have received a positive response and established cordial
relationship with you.
We wish that our own share of the funds be invested in very viable and
profitable business venture with your kind assistance and guideline as none
of us have ever been involved in international or foreign investment before.
You will be receiving 30% of the total sum for your assistance and
partnership. Take very important notice that as respected Senators and top
Government officials of our country, we advise that you keep this absolutely
confidential for security reasons.
I would like you to make available to me your full names, personal/direct
telephone and fax numbers, your occupation, full contact address,
Nationality, city and country of residence. Further details regarding this
business deal will be communicated to you in due course.
This is serious business and requires absolute commitment.
I expect to hear from you as soon as possible.
Best regards,
Alhaji Mamudu Waziri
