Subject: From Don Morowey
Federal Ministry of Finance, Nigeria.
Office of the Permanents Secretary
Dear Sir,
My name is Don Morowey from Kaduna the northern part of the country; I am
the permanent secretary of the federal ministry of finance of Nigeria,
I got your contact and write to you after due consultation of a reliable and
trust worthy foreign business partner from our chambers trade and commerce.
I want to have you as my foreign business partner, due to my position with
my ministry I am not allow to
operate a foreign bank account, I will be due for retirement by nest year
June, and as such I have begin to have a sleepless night about the rest days
of my life after my retirement.
I am a good Christian, and have tried to live according to the dictate of
Almighty God, I am not a corrupt Government official which has been widely
known all over the world that my Government official are corrupt looting and
siphoning Government funds into their personal foreign bank accounts,
statistically the sum of US$100Billion has been siphoned out of the country
into various private accounts, this funds did not trek
to this various private bank accounts, but was transfer with the help of
foreign partners.
The country is facing a great political problem, it’s the survival of the
fittest, and this is so because everybody knows that Nigeria is a three
NATION living as one,
some people have the oil, and some people did not have anything, and there’s
a lot of marginalize in all sectors including in my region, so they can
never be good economy, unless the north go their way, the south go their way
and the east go their way, we are so
rich, but even Mr. President is steeling huge funds and have his private
refineries in many African Nations, everybody is involve in this. But in my
case, I issue out contracts and the contractors give me 10% because I make
sure that they receive there payment
very fast and as when due, and immediately after real examination of their
jobs and ascertain that the jobs are well done, so I have the total sum of
US$7.5M
(Seven million five hundred thousand united stated dollars) in a security
company here in Nigeria my personal money.
I want to transfer the money into your bank account, while you will help me
to invest 70% of the fund into a profitable area of business, while 5% will
be kept
aside incase of any expenses that might occur during the course transferring
the fund to your bank account, while the remaining 25% will be for you for
this great
favor.
Thanks,
I expect your urgent reply,
Don Morowey
