Subject: URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL
Dear Sir,
REQUEST FOR CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
First, I must solicit your confidence in this transaction. I am a high
placed official working with the Ministry of Finance, here in Abuja,
Nigeria, West Africa. my Department (the Treasury Department) runs into
several thousand millions of dollars monthly.
Myself and three other colleagues in this department are currently inneed of
a silent foreign partner whose bank account we can use to transfer the sum
of Eighteen Million Five Hundred Thousand U.S.dollars(us$18,500,000.00).
This fund accrued
legitimately (butdiscretely) to us as commission from foreign contracts,
though our private connections. The fund is presently waiting to be remitted
by our
offshore funds managers to any foreign beneficiary submitted by us to them
as the receiver of the fund.
However, by virtue of our positions as civil servants in our country, we
cannot acquire this money in our names. Because as high placed civil
servants, 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 in whose account we would transfer the
us$18,500,000.00
for mutual benefit, hence the reason for this email. What i am requesting
from you is: (1) To be our silent partner and receive the funds in your
account in trust.
(2) Provide a bank account under your control to which the funds will be
remitted.
(3)Receive the funds in your account, take out your commission and keep the
rest of the money until I arrive there to meet you after the transfer is
completed.
Our proposal is that after you receive the funds, it would be shared as
follows: (1) 30% to you as commission, 10% for any set aside for expenditure
while the remaining 60% belongs to myself and the two colleagues here. You
will be free to take out your commission immediately after the
funds hit your account. Since our objective is to invest the money in a
foreign country, it would be appreciated if you can also help us to invest
our own money into profitable ventures in your country.
However, this is optional, and should it not be convenient for you to
further assist us with investing the money, we can end our cooperation after
you hand over to us our percentage of the money.The transaction, although
discrete,is lgitimate and
the money will be transferred to your account with all necessary back-up
documents
showing legitimate source/origin of fund. The transfer will be effected to
your account
within seven (7) working day as soon as we reach an agreement and you
furnish me with a suitable bank account for receiving the money.
I plead with you on one issue, whether you are interested or not, kindly do
not expose this information to any one else. I confirm that the transaction
is legitimate and without any risks either to ourselves or yourself. please,
give me your response immediately by return mail on my Email address
musadanjuma@o2.pl while keeping everything confidential.
yours faithfully,
Musa Danjuma
