Subject: Greetings:
TRANSFER OF USD$10.5 MILLION INTO YOUR ACCOUNT}
ALTERNATIVE EMAIL: j_dike777@o2.pl
ATTENTION:President\CEO.
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from different organs of Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) owned parastatals decided to solicit your
assistance as regards transfer of the above-mentioned amount into your bank
account. This fund accrued from over
invoicing of various contract awarded in my parastatal to certain Foreign
Contractors sometimes ago.
We, as holders of sensitive position in our various parastatals, were
mandated by the Federal Government to Scrutinise all payments made to
certain foreign Contractors and we discovered that some of the contracts
they executed were grossly over-invoiced
either by omission or commission.
In the process the sum of US$15.5 M (Fiftheen Million Five hundred thousand
US Dollars only) was found lying in the parastatal suspense account after
the foreign contractors had been paid their rightful dues for executing the
said contracts.
We all agreed that this over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own
use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, because we as
government workers and the Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate
foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring some of this money precisely
US$5.0M (Five Million US Dollars only) into a foreign account in INDONESIA
(ASIA), but the provider of the account in INDONESIA is up to some mischief
and refuses to comply to the earlier mutual agreement by insisting that the
total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before disbursement
will take effect. If for a meagre sum of US$5.0M (Five Million US Dollars
only) we are not compensated, is it when the balance of US$20.0M (Twenty
Million US Dollars)is transferred that we will be sure of our full
compensation? Of course, this abuse of trust and inhumanity calls for sober
reflection and search for absolute trust.
Thus we are seeking your unwavering assistance that the remaining amount of
US$15M can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated bank
account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be
compensated with 30% of the amount for your assistance and services.
So far, much have been said and due to our sensitive positions, we cannot
afford a slip in this transaction neither can we give out identity as
regards our respective offices, but whereby cordial relationship is
established, smooth operations commences, you will be furnished with details
of all you deserves to know.
I am at your disposition to entertain any question from you with respect to
this transaction, so contact me immediately through my e:mail for further
information on the requirements and procedure for thistransaction.
Please, treat with the strictest confidentiality
and utmost urgency.
Yours faithfully,
Mr James Dike
