Subject: Good day dear,
Good day dear,
I am Gilbert Ani, Minister Internal and Foreign Finance Affairs. My office
overseas and controls the affairs of all banks and financial institutions in
Nigeria concerned with contract award funds, local and foreign contract
payments. I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of huge
funds moving within banks both on the local and international levels in line
to foreign contracts settlement.
I have before me list of funds, which could not be transferred to some
nominated accounts as these accounts have been identified either as ghost
accounts, unclaimed deposits and over-invoiced sum etc.
I write to present you to the federal government of my country that you are
among the people expecting the funds to be transferred into their account,
on this note; I wish to have a deal with you as regards to the unpaid
certified contract funds. I have every files before me and the data's will
be to change to your name to enable you receive the fund into your
indigenous bank account or through any other means we will agree to arrange
as the beneficiary of the fund's amount $26,500,000.00 U.S.D.
As it is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the
Federal Government Treasury and Reserve Accounts as unclaimed deposits, I
have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I received two
days ago from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments /Foreign Debts to
submit the List of payment reports / expenditures and audited reports of
revenues for the financial year 2005. Among several others, I have decided
to divert this sum to you for safe keeping following my idea that we would
have a deal/agreement together and I am going to do this legally, with legal
documents of proofs to satisfy you as the bona fide beneficiary of the said
fund and for your claim.
1. You will take 30% of the total sum.
2. This deal must be kept secret above board.
If you accept to work with me in this deal, please indecate your intrest by
sending to me immediately;
(1) your house address,
(2) your direct telephone, cell phone & fax number,
(3) a copy of your internatiuonal passport or driver's license for my record
purposes.
I am waiting for your urgent reply.
Regards,
Gilbert Ani.
