Attention
The President/CEO
Dear Sir,
Confidential Business Proposal
Happy New Year and Good season that will bring us success. Having consulted
with my colleagues and based on the information gathered from the Internet
about you, I have the privilege to request for your assistance to transfer
the sum of 21,500,000.00 (Twenty one million, five hundred thousand United
States dollars) into your accounts.
The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract by past government nor
existed contract claim to have executed with nor existed contractor
commissioned to be paid by the previous government official for about some
years ago by a foreign contractor.
This action was however intentional and since then the fund approval has
been in a suspense since the death of the formal head of states General
Sanni Abacha. We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas with this
opportunity as a member of Debt reconciliation Committee to inspect all
concerned debt by Federal Republic of Nigeria to all foreign contractors.In
this regards I solicit your partnership to front you as a foreign contractor
and the executor of the contract whose contract entitlement is long due to
be paid.
This is where you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil
servants, we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we
require your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for
us, 20% for you and 10% for local and international expenses incident to the
transfer.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am member debt reconciliation
committee (DRC) the newly commissioned panel to review all contract awarded
to foreigner (as a result I discover the apportioned contract was not
existing one). Please If you find this proposal acceptable, we shall require
the following documents:
(a) Your banker's name, company name that you are to front as the executed
company (b) Your private telephone and fax numbers -- for confidentiality
and easy communication. (c) Your letter-headed paper of your company if you
have good company.
I shall communicate to you more details on the modalities to get this done,
along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we require of you.
The business will take us (14) working days to accomplish. From the date of
the recommendation from (DRC)
Please reply urgently farmland@walla.com
