Dear Sir, I am Engr. Mark Roland with the Engineering Stores Department of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources and member of Tenders Board. We have urgent need for a trustworthy foreign contact person with whom we can carry out a successful business deal.
Federal Government has voted the sum of US$1.86 Billion for Local Production of food crops. The Government has also considered the impact of the importation of some food items like Rice, Beans, Frozen Chicken and Turkeys and other foodstuffs on the Nations Foreign Reserve and has banned the importation of the items that could be produced locally. As a result, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Natural Resources has been mandated to import Agricultural Equipments for supply to Local Farmers both at SUBSISTENT AND COMMERCIAL level to encourage them to produce enough food items for local consumption and for export to other African Countries. We have already started awarding new contracts for supply of the equipments to successful bidders.
We want you to submit to us immediately your complete company name, address, and your name as President or Managing Director / CEO of the company, your banking particulars: - (banks name address, telephone, fax and telex numbers. Your receiving number, swift and routing numbers), with these informations, we can get you properly registered as one of the contractors of FMANR who has already been awarded part of this contract for the sum of US$113.4 Million to supply some of the Agricultural Equipments parts of which we already have in our custody (stores).After receiving the above needed and stated information from you, we will process all the documentation and submit them for immediate approvals and the Federal Government will pay 25% of US$113.4 Million into your nominated bank account in the name of your company as the beneficiary, which is US$28.35M. In no time, the remaining US$85,050,000.00 Million shall be paid as balance payment or we together in agreement as partners !
will use another foreign firm\'s name that will carry out the supply of the remaining equipments as a sub-contractor to you in our documentation to receive this balance payment.
We shall come to your country immediately this fund is in your account to share the US$28.35Million. Both parties concerned should negotiate the sharing pattern. However, be rest assured that no risk is involved or any scandal in the future, for we have done all our homework very well, nobody will be hurt during and after this transaction. It may also please you to know that all the GOODS that cover the 25% payment are on record, only us that are key members of the contract board committee has this knowledge and information. There is the serious need to keep this transaction secret and very confidential. To that effect, I would require your private phone and fax numbers for easy and confidential communication. I await your immediate response to this Proposal. Meanwhile, I look forward to establishing life long business relationship with you. The nature of your company or business does not necessarily have to be Agriculturally related but ownership of a company is a criteri!
