Free Business Partnership
Dear Sir/Madam,
This is to invite you to freely participate in a business venture on behalf
of my partners and I.We especially need you to act as the chief beneficiary
of a contract sum worth $14M in the Ministry of Works & Housing, Nigeria.
For your benefit of doubt, we [ my partners & I] are management officials
in the board team of the above named government parastatal. In addition, we
are members of the internal audit reveiw panel set up to reconcile all
bonifide contract debts being owed to foreigners by the government of
Nigeria.
In the course of our auditing, we came across the siad sum of $14m floating
in the ministry escrow account as an accrued debt payable to a yet
un-identified contractor since 2001.On thorough examination,it was
discovered that the $14M was a debt brilliantly created by the former
Director General in favour of a company that she was about to incorporate
locally here with the help of a foreign partner.
We made consultations with the former DG and eventually struck an agreement
with her.The masterplan she created remains the same.The plan is to make you
the chief beneficiary to the $14M by way of advancing you/your company as
the real contractor to whom the sum is owed by the Ministry for a project
executed between 2000/2001.As a matter of fact,all the modalities needed to
acheive this has already been perfected. The overall plan is 100% foolproof
and will be carried out legally in every aspect of the transaction.
Specifically,your duty will be to act in correspondence (viaE-mails,Faxes &
Telephone)- with the local Ministry of Finance as well as the Apex Bank
authorities; until your total claims are verified,approved and the money
paid into your advised bank account.
Whereas we would like to maintain our full confidentiality for now, we
shall however provide you with more details as to the masterplan and the
entire time frames involved. We will do so when you indicate your interest
to become a partner with us.
Looking forward to a cordial business partnership with you.
Sincerely,
Engr.Biodun Fans
