FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter on behalf of my colleagues.
I got your information from a personal search in the internet business index. I have decided to seek a confidential co-operation with you in execution
of a deal here under for the benefit of all parties, and hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.
I am the Secretary of the Contract Review Panel instituted by H. E. President Olusegun Obasanjo to probe/review all Contracts executed and payments
made during the regime of late General Sani Abacha. I have been mandated by my colleagues on the Panel to seek your assistance in the transfer of the
sum of US$31.0 Million into your Bank Account.
As you may know, the late General Abacha and members of his government embezzled billions of dollars through spurious contracts and payments to foreigners between 1993 - 1998 and this is now the subject of probe by my Panel.
In the course of our review, we have discovered this sum of $31.0 Million,which the former dictator could not transfer from the dedicated account of the Central Bank of Nigeria before his sudden death in June 1998.
It is this amount that my Colleagues and I have decided to acquire for ourselves through your assistance.
This assistance becomes crucial because we cannot acquire the funds in our names and as government officials we are not allowed to own or operate
foreign bank accounts.
We have thus developed a,fool proof,legal and totally
risk free scheme through which the fund can be transferred to your nominated bank account within a very short time.
The scheme is to use our position and influence on the Panel to represent you as a foreign Contractor beneficiary of the funds. We shall arrange
all documentation to support this claim and get Approval for the transfer of the funds for your benefit on our behalf.
The scheme is perfected to be 100% risk free and we are sure the funds can arrive your Account within
7 - 10 working days from when you agree to assist us.
You should acknowledge the receipt of my letter through my email address so we can further discuss the modalities of your cooperation and negotiate
the charge for the usage of your Account.
You definitely have a lot to benefit from this transaction as we are prepared to give you 25% of the total funds as soon as you secure it in your account.
Please, endeavor to give me a telephone/fax number through which we cancommunicate with you in confidence (in your response) as the need for secrecyis great to this transaction.
We expect your urgent response.
Yours faithfully,
Roy Richards.
