Dear Sir,
This letter may come to you as a surprise since it is coming from someone
you have not met before.
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from differentorgans of Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) owned parastatals decided to solicit your
assistance as regards transfer of the above-mentioned amount into your bank
account. This fund accrued from over invoicing of various contract awarded
in my parastatalto certain Foreign Contractors some times ago.We, as holders
of sensitive position in our various parastatals, were mandated by the
Federal Government to Scrutinise all payments made to certain foreign
Contractors and we discovered that some of the contracts they executed were
grossly over-invoiced either by omission or commission. In the process the
sum of US$27M (Twenty Seven Million US Dollars only)was found lying in the
parastatal suspense account after the foreign contractors had been paid
their rightful dues for executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that this over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own
use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, because we are
government workers and the Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate
foreign accounts. However, we have succeeded in transferring some of this
money precisely US$5.0M (Five Million US Dollars only) into a foreign
account in (France,Name Mr John Walter) but the provider of the account in
France is up to some mischief is not a trust worldly person after he has
paid the sum of (45,000 dollars) transfarring fees to his bank account in
France, the and refuses to comply to the earlier mutual agreement by
insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account
before disbursement will took effect. If for a meagre sum of US$5.0M (Five
Million US Dollars only) we are not compensated, is it when the balance of
US$22M(Twenty-two Million US Dollars)is transferred that we will be sure of
our full compensation? Of course, this abuse of trust and inhumanity calls
for sober reflection and search for absolute trust.Thus we are seeking your
unwavering assistance that the remaining amount of US$22M can be speedily
processed and fully remitted into your nominated bank account. And we hope
you will not act as the former man in who ran way with our money.
And we much let you know that these business we cost us money before the
money we be in your bank account.And before the we start these transaction
we like to know you very well in your country, and we much have some of your
Information like your house address or your office address and your
picture.And we so much believe that you are capable of these transaction.
<BR>Thus we are seeking your unwavering assistance that the remaining amount
of US$22M can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated
bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you
will be compensated with 30% of the amount for your assistance and services.
So far, much have been said and due to our sensitive positions, we cannot
afford a slip in this transaction neither can we give out identity as
regards our respective offices, but whereby ordial relationship is
established, smooth operations commences, you will be furnished with details
of all you deserves to know.
I am at your disposition to entertain any question from you with respect to
this transaction, so contact me immediately through my e:mail for further
information on the requirements and procedure for this transaction. Please,
treat with the strictest confidentiality.
