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 thefittest, 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
