Urgent Business Relationship
Dear Sir/Madam,
How are you today? I hope all is well with you and your family. I am Dr.
Abel Ibude Guobadia the chairman Contract Award & Verification Panel and at
thesame time the INEC Chairman of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and
Verification Panel chairman set up by the Nigeria Ministry of Petroleum.
After thorough deliberations. My colleagues and I decided to contact you for
a very confidential business transaction of mutual benefit. During our
verification exercise, we came across an over-invoiced contract (Contract
No:FMP/PED/1473/96).
This contract was awarded in July,1996 and completed in August, 1998, and
the original contractor has since been paid his contract sum leaving the
over-invoiced sum of US$35.5million (Thirty Five Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) This amount have been left floating in our
account with the federation bank, until our recent discovery.My colleagues
and I have decided to seek for th reliable foreign partner into whose
account the fund will be transferred into for our own use. If this proposal
is acceptable to you, a "Deed of Transfer" of the above contract will be
obtained on your behalf, to empower you as the legal beneficiary of the
contract and the sum to be transferred. All necessary and relevant documents
will be procured for the release and transfer of the fund into your
nominated account.
An application for foreign exchange allocation will be made on your behalf
from my office to the federal ministry of finance (FMF) and the federation
bank for the subsequent release and transfer of the fund into your nominated
account. Be informed that we are working in collaboration with top officials
of the federal ministry of finance and the federation bank, who will release
the fund. With your cooperation the success of this transaction is
guaranteed.
We have agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total sum, 70% will be for
me and my colleagues here, while the remaining 10% have been mapped-out for
miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred by both parties during the
course of this transaction. All things being equal,this transaction will be
concluded within 16 working days upon the day of receipt of your response.
You are required to email us your nominated bank account details and your
direct telephone and fax numbers. Please threat this transaction with top
priority and remember to keep it as confidential as possible.
As soon as we receive your response via my alternative email d_r_abel@o2.pl
or d_r_abel@inbox.cc, for more details about how to proceed will be given to
you. I will like you to know more about me on this website:
