Dear Friend,
RE: UNPAID CONTRACT SUM.
After waiting to hear from you or your Nigeria partners for a long time
now, I decided to make this direct approach to you in other not to let it
be as if I have anything in mind against you. I do
not know if you have asked yourself why each time the release of hese fund
is approved, all of a sudden, the payment will be stopped or one problem
or the other will come up. If you have not asked
this question or you do not know, this is an opportunity for me to tell you.
Some time ago, your Nigerian friends, I mean the people that introduced you
to the project approached me through my dear Wife who works with the Federal
Ministry of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a money
transfer deal they had with you, they requested
me to assist them by removing the original contractor Â’s name, companyA, s
name and bank particulars from Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
vetting computer and replacing them with your name and your bank details in
order to make you appear as the rightful beneficiary
of this funds. I agreed on condition that they will pay me $100,000 as soon
as your name appears as the beneficiary. I did as agreed and demanded to be
paid but your friends started telling me stories.
They even told me that you promise to send money to me. Do you know that up
till now, I have not received a single cent from them and have not set my
eyes on any of them.
Based on their attitude, I decided to stop the funds release movement
because I cannot be denied of my right in my own office considering the
risk as it might affect my job. Secondly, I know the source of the funds
and you did not execute any contract in Nigeria, although
I am the only person privileged to know this information and it is a fact.
Why I am making this clear to you is that I can see that you are still
making efforts spending money in order to
conclude this project. Now I am ready to forget the past, I do not need the
$100,000 any longer from you but a share of 25% of the total sum. I need
your assurance that those your colleagues will be totally keep out of this
transaction, I know that none of them
is aware of this transaction after trying their best to conclude it without
my consent.
Finally, I need your promise that no official of the Nigerian National
Petroleum Corporation or Central Bank of Nigeria will be aware of my
involvement in this regard. Now re-assure me that you will be
willing to offer me the 25% of the fund, that you will assist my wife and
personal assistant to establish a foreign account in your country where my
share will be lodged.
If you are ready to conclude this business with me, you can contact me
immediately on my private email above, so that we can have chat over this
issue once and for all so that we can move forward.But if the reverse is
the case, do not bother yourself to reach me.
Regards,
DR. Tony Edeh Director K.T.T UNIT CB.N).
