Sir/Madam,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$30,000,000.00 (THIRTY
MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY)
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from different
Federal Government of Nigeria owned parastatals
decided to solicit your assistance as regards the
transfer of the above stated amount into your bank
account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of
various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain
foreign contractors sometime ago. We as holders of
official positions in our various parastatals, were
mandated by this new civilian government to
scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign
contractors by the past military government, and we
discovered that some of the contracts they executed
were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or
commission. Also, we discovered that the sum of
$35,000,000.00
(Thirty-Five million American Dollars only) was lying
in a suspense account, although the foreign
contractors were fully paid their entitlements after
executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be
transferred (for our own use) into a bank account
provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct
of the Federal civil service does not allow us to
operate foreign accounts. However, we have succeeded
in transferring some of these monies, precisely US$5M
(five million American Dollars only) into a foreign
account in GENEVA (SWITZERLAND) last week, but
unfortunately the provider of the account has severed
all forms of contacts with us as he has refused to
adhere to our earlier mutual agreement insisting that
the total amount be paid into his nominated bank
account before disbursement will take effect. If for
US$5.Million (Five million only) we are not
compensated, how can one guarantee full compensation
on remittance of the balance of US$30 million (Thirty
million American dollars only).
We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the
balance amount of US$30 Million which can be speedily
processed and fully remitted into your nominated bank
account. On successful remittance of the fund into
your account, you will be compensated with 25% of the
amount for assistance and services and 5% set aside
for expenses contingency while 70% is for me and my
colleagues. This transaction is closely knitted and in
view of our SENSITIVE POSITION we cannot afford a
slip, I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk
free. We will avail you with our identities as regards
our respective offices
when relationship is fully established and smooth
operation commences. I am at your disposal to
answer any question(s) from you in respect of this
transaction, so, contact me immediately through this
e-mail or the numbers listed below for further
information on the requirements.
Regards,
DR BENJAMIN OLUFEMI
