Subject: URGENT REQUEST FOR CO-ORPRATION
From: Mr. John Momoh
Director, Project implementations,
Niger Delta Development Commission (NDDC)
Bayelsa State.
Nigeria.
Mobile tel: + 234-805 461 4490
Dear Friend,
URGENT REQUEST FOR CO-ORPRATION
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf
of myself and my colleagues. Your particulars were given to
me by a member of the Nigerian Investment Promotion Council
(N.I.P.C) who was at the Federal Government Delegation to
your country during a trade exhibition. I have decided to
seek a confidential co-operation with you in the execution
of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of all
parties and hope you will keep it as a secret because of the
nature of this business. Within the NIGER DELTA DEVELOPMENT
COMMISSION (NDDC)(the Crude Oil Management Commission set up
by the present
Government to develop the Niger Delta Region of Nigeria),
where I work as a Director,
Projects Implementation and with the co-operation two other
top officials, we have in our
possession as over due payment bills totaling Fifty
Million,U.S Dollars (US$50,000,000.00)
which we want to transfer abroad with your assistance and
cooperation as the foreign company and/or individual to
receive the said fund on our behalf. The amount represented
some percentages of the total contract value executed on
behalf of the Commission by a foreign contracting firm,
which we the officers over-invoiced. We have in principles
gottenapproval to remit by Key Telegraphic Transfer (T.T.)
through a correspondence bank in Europe or America, upon
submissions of application for claims, to any foreign bank
account you will provide.
Since the present Civilian Government of Nigeria is
determined to pay every foreign contractor all debts owed so
as to maintain good relationship with Foreign Governments
and non-Government Financial Agencies, we have decided to
include our bill for payment with the co-operation of some
officials. This we can do by swapping of account and
changing of beneficiary and other forms of documentation
upon application for claim to reflect the payment and
approvals to be secured on behalf of any company name and
account you will provide, you also be required to act as the
original contractor that actually executed the contract.
This processes being internal arrangement with the
departments concerned.
We however do not expect you to act like; Mr. Steve Davison
of 104 Mimosa Avenue, Linden, Alabama, who accepted to
assist us in 2000, and ran away with our US$35Million after
the funds was successfully transferred into his account, and
uptil date we are unable to trace him and this time we do
not want any form of distrust.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that
should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your
share of the sum will be 30% of the US$50Million, 60% for us
and 10% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses.
I have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will
not disappoint me.
I am awaiting your anticipated co-operation. Please keep
this business very scret and confidential.
Yours' faithfully
Mr. John Momoh
Project Implementations Dept. (NDDC)
