BUSINESS PROPOSAL
I am making this contact with you on behalf of my colleagues after an
acceptable recommendation from an International Business Agency.
My colleagues and I are members of the Contract Award
Committee (CAC) of the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA). I have
been mandated by my colleagues to look for a trustworthy company into whose
account some funds are to be transferred.We have in our possession
instrument of payment for US$22.5M (Twenty two million five hundred thousand
U.S Dollars
only) now in a dedicated account with our apex bank The above funds arose
from the over invoicing of some Supplies and Engeenering Works contracts
which have been executed and the contractors paid in full. The fund is
therefore free to be transferred overseas without any risk whatsoever.
Due to the nature of accrual of this funds, it has to be applied for by a
foreign contractor/company and payment can only be made into a foreign
account hence this contact is necessary to accomplish this deal. You (or
your company) shall be compensated with 25% of the amount as the account
owner, 5% shall be used for the reimbursement of all expenses that will be
incurred by both parties during the course of this financial
transaction.The remaining 70% is for us.
We shall require of you the following urgently by fax:
1. Name,Telephone and/or fax Numbers of Beneficiary
2. Name and full address of the Company
3. Complete particulars of the bank account where you
wish the funds to be transferred.
This should include the account Number, Bank
Address, the Telephone, Fax and Telex numbers of the bank.
My colleagues and I have had some fruitful discussions with relevant top
officials of the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) and they have agreed to
cooperate in the transfer. An application for funds transfer shall be made
at the appropriate Ministries in favour of the beneficiary (you or your
company).Thereafter, your company shall be officially regarded as having
executed the contract for the National Electric Power Authority (NEPA) for
which payment is being made.This process make the operation legal according
to the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Please treat this transaction as STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
as we are Civil Servants who would not want any exposure.Do not go through
the International Telephone Operator or (AT&T) when lines are busy at any
time in the course of this operation.Always dial direct.It's very difficult
to get telephone access to Nigeria. So you must persist even when the
telephone says subscriber not available or the number does not
exist. These answers are always given when there is no access. Thanks for
your anticipated cooperation.
Best Regards,
DR Nosa Orobosa.
Please all contact should be directed to my email address.
