Attn : Sir,
I write with absolute confidence in the legality and the integrity of your
person. Essentially, the business we are about to commence is
fundamentally based on TRUST AND WITH A SENSE OF PURPOSE. For succinct
introduction, I am a member of the Contract Review PaneL(CRP) of the
Petroleum Trust Fund(PTF), our status ranks from ministerial post down to
directors general.
The setting up of the committee was necessitated by the flaws and blatant
abuse of the last military regime, which awarded contracts at incredibly
inflated cost. Through tenacious effort and well-expanded energy and
experience, we were able to rectify these flaws and to pay the contractors
their rightful dues. At the end of this arduous exercise the sum of Eight
Million,Five Hundred Thousand USD was left in the suspense account of the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), due to the initial inflated cost.
To get our entitled payment for this special project, the committee
unanimously resolved that the above mentioned sum be disbursed among
members equitably.
This precisely is why we need your assistance since this money has to be
paid into a foreign account from the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and we
are prohibited to operate foreign account in our names, making it
impossible for us to acquire this money in our names now. We solicit your
assistance with an unflinching faith that you will not betray us. With your
ability to assist in this transfer, you are entitled to 25%, my colleagues
and I will have 65%, while the remaining 10% is to take care of all
incidental expenses that both parties may incurred during the course of
this transaction.
Our share will be channeled into a joint venture business with your
company under your investment advice. This money when remitted into your
Bank Account or delivered to you, our share of 65% will be used to finance
the Cost of Equity and other expenses or the take off of the Joint
Venture Business either into real estate or any viable business venture
at your descretion.
To enable us put up claims and invoice for the payment we require your
private telephone and fax numbers to reach you during an after business
hours.
We want to carry out this exercise with you since it falls within our area
of jurisdiction and the transaction is 100% safe. It is important you reach
me indicating your willingness to assist in this mutually beneficial
transaction.
Remember that this transaction is a confidential one, keep it strictly to
yourself for we are Civil Servant still in service.
I await your positive response urgently.
Regards,
Mr. Femi Harry.
