REQUEST FOR MUTUAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
Dearest,
Endeavor to remain in steady contact and send email :
nzeajoya@netscape.net for security purpose.
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction.I got your contact through a reliable consultant who is widely travelled.my name is Eng.Yassin Abou Amara ,i am from jaffa-Canada,i have been working with nigerian government since the first coming of civilian administration of President Olusegun Obansanjo.
I am a highly placed official working in the Ministry of Agriculture, here in Nigeria, West Africa. My department (the treasury) coordinates several thousands of millions of dollars transactions monthly.
I and three other colleagues from this department are currently in need of a silent, foreign partner whose bank account we can use to transfer the sum of Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars (US$6,500,000.00). These funds accrued legitimately (but discreetly) to us as commission from a contract job awarded and executed in here in the Nigeria.
The money is presently waiting to be remitted by our offshore funds managers to any named beneficiary submitted by us to them as the owner of the payment. However, by virtue of our positions as civil servants in our country, we cannot acquire this money in our names. As senior officers, we are not allowed by the civil service code of conduct, to own or operate bank accounts outside of our shores. On the other hand, it is not safe for us to keep the money here due to our unstable political environment.
I have been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues, to look for an overseas silent partner,since i am a foreigner. in whose account we would transfer the US$6,500,000.00 for mutual benefit, hence the reason for this e-mail. What I am requesting from you is:
(1) To be our silent partner and receive the money in your account in trust.
(2) Provide a receiving bank account under your control, to which the funds will be remitted.
(3) Receive the funds in your account, take your commission and keep the rest until I arrive there to meet you after the transaction is completed.
Our proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as follows:
(1) 25% to you as commission, while the remaining 75% belong to us. You will be free to take out your commission immediately the money hit your account. Since our objective is to invest the money in a foreign country, it would be ideal to let you manage this for us in your country. However this is optional, and should it not be convenient for you, we can terminate our cooperation after you hand over our share of the money.
This transaction though discreet, is legitimate and the money will be transferred to your account with all necessary backup documents showing legitimate source/origin. The transfer will be effected to your account within seven working days of your furnishing us with a suitable receiving bank account information and our reaching an agreement.
I plead with you on one issue; whether or not you are interested, please do not expose this information to a third party. I confirm that the transaction is legitimate and without any risks either of us. Please give me your response immediately by return mail, while keeping everything confidential.
We intend to consummate this transaction within the shortest possible time based on your cooperation and support.
Yours faithfully,
Eng.Yassin Abou Amara.
