Dear Sir,
It is my pleasure to contact you for assistance and
business co-operation. I know the content of this
letter might be surprising to you. But I assure you
that every word of it is true. Even though we hardly
know each other I believe you can help me.
I am Engr Don efuk , The President of a special
task force in charge of the sales of petroleum
products in the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
My office monitors the sales and lifting of crude oil
and petroleum product by foreign dealers. With the
cooperation of my assistant and head of the audit
committee attached to the task force,I have
successfully saved about $22.6million US Dollars.
This money is as a result of allocation of excess
crude oil to the foreign dealers, which has been sold
but which money is not entered in the financial
statement of my task force. This money is now lying
unclaimed in the account of the task force, know only
to my partners and me involved in the excess
allocation. However, the legislators of the new democratic
government of my country have set up a panel to look
into the past activities of some government
companies and parastatals. We do not want the panel to
discover the money we saved. We cannot lodge this
money into our private bank account
In my country, public servants are not permitted to
operate any account in excess of $500,000 U. S
Dollars. Now the idea is to have a foreign
partner whom the sum will be transferred to. We have
concluded arrangement to transfer this money to your
private bank account.if you permit us to use it. All
you have to do is to send me your private phone and
banking particulars I will send you the details of the
transfer and necessary document as soon as you provide them.
Please on your reply,we will bw able to discuss the
modalities. We intend to invest our share of the sum
in business with your knowledge and past experience
your advice will be highly needed for the investment.
Don't worry about any problem in this business. I
assure it is safe and no risk is involved. No other
party is aware of the sum from the excess allocation
except my partner and me. However, this transaction
should be secret and confidential.
We awaits your reply on your participation, so that we
can contact another person. Time is of great essence
to us. For any further information reach me through my
email.
Regards,
Engr. Don Efuk
