REQUEST FOR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
Dear Friend,
I hope you will receive this Email without a measure of fear I got your
contact from THE EMAIL DIRECTORY as i was searching for the country and the
company that will assist me or a reliable person i will transact this DEAL
with. It is with trust that I wish to contact you on this matter concerning
the transfer of US$35,800,000,00 million Dollars.
My name is MR OLA DAVID PAUL, i am a Manager of Central Bank of Nigeria
Sokoto Branch.I have urgent and very confidential business proposal i need
your assistant for. On JAN. 1999, there was an oil consultant/contractor
with the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation, Mr.smith John whom i
assisted for an oil deal by personally using the bank fund to finance he
without the knowledge of other's directors in the bank. After the project,
we made US$269,000,000.00m and my share was given to me as well, Which is
US$35,800,000,00m while my partner was given is own share which is
US$20,000,000,00m after that i also refunded the bank"s fund. For this
reason i need your assistant in helping me to secure my share amount
US$35,800,000,00m in your account since my intention is to invest this fund
out of my country into any lucrative venture you may deem fit in order to
avoid any one knowing about my transaction with Mr.smith John that is
presently dead. Though, few days ago the bank in which my share of the fund
was deposited with, called me to identify the beneficiary of the fund in
order to proceed with the payment, as the fund is due for payment. Actually
before the fund was deposited with the bank" My backup application letter
was that the fund belongs to a friend, Which mean's that i am the only
person in position to identify the bonafide owner of the fund, since the
fund was not deposited with a name but with a security code number. Its in
this regard that i solicit for your assistance for securing this fund in
order to avoid the awareness of my involvement in the fund ownership
payment, because as a bank official with the goverment bank i am not allowed
by law to own such amount of money or personally operate a foreign account.
Note that every application to enable you the bonafide beneficiary of the
fund shall be perfectly written in your name' by me recommending you the
origina beneficiary of said amount US$35,800,000,00m for the successful
transfer' if only you will be sincere with me in the deal.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and risk free and i will
commence the transaction from the date of receipt of the following
information via e-mail, phone and fax. Please call me immediately after
reading this message in order to discuss your percentage in the deal or you
send me by email what shall be your percentage in the deal. But alraedy i
intended to share this fund as follow, 20% for you, 20% to open a charity
organisation, 10% for any expences that will be incure in the transaction,
while the remaning balance of %50 shall be for me.
Please if you accept this proposal, send to me by email the following.:
1 Your land telephone number, fax numbers, mobil phone and your office
address and home address.
2. Provide me or open a new bank account in your name that will accommodate
this fund.
With these information, we are going to put in application in your favour
for the release of this fund into your account for us all. Due to my
sensitive position, I can not afford a slip in this transaction. Please
treat with the strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency.
Yours faithfully
Mr Ola David Paul.
(CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA, BANK MANAGER.)

base on your professional advice. Also bear with me that this message is not
