Subject: Dear Sir,
Dear Sir,
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of myself and
my colleagues. Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian
Export Promotion Council (NEPC) who was at the Federal Government Delegation
to your country during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a
confidential cooperation with you in the execution of the deal described
hereunder for the benefit of all parties and hope you will keep it as a top
secret because of the nature of this business.
Within the FEDERAL MINISTRY AVIATION where I work as a Director, Project
Implementation and with the cooperation of Four other top officials, we have
in our possession as overdue payment bills totalling THIRTY-Five Million
United States Dollars (US$35,000,000.00) only, which we want to transfer
abroad with the assistance and cooperation of a Foreign Company (Individual)
to receive the fund on our behalf or reliable foreign non-company account to
receive such fund. The amount represented some percentage of the total
contract value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a Foreign Contracting
Firm, which we the officials over-invoiced. Though the actual contract cost
have been paid to the original contractor, leaving the balance in the tune
of the said amount, which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T.) to foreign bank account you will provide.
Since the present Government of Nigeria is determined to paying every
Foreign Contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good relationship with
Foreign Government and Non-government Financial Agencies, we have decided to
include our bills for approvals with the cooperation of some officials from
the Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). We
are seeking your assistance in providing a good company's account or any
other offshore bank account into which we can remit this money by acting as
our main partner and trustee or acting as the original contractor. This we
can do by swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms of
documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and
approvals to be secured on behalf of our company. This processes being
internal arrangement with the department concerned.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be
willing to assist us in the transaction. Your share of the sum will be 30%
of the US$35,000,000.00 only, 60% for us and 10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% safe on your part
provided you treat it with secrecy and confidentiality. also your area of
specialization is not a hinderance to the successful execution of this
transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint me. While we wait for your urgent reply.
Thanks for your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
MR. Usman Hassan Bello
