Subject: GOOD DAY,
From The Desk Of Daggash Bugaji.
ChairMan Contract Award Committee
Federal Ministry of Aviation.
Garki- Abuja-Nigeria
Dear Sir,
My name is Daggash Bugaji , chairman of the contract award committe of
the.Federal Ministry of Aviation. Sometime last year,the Federal Government
of Nigeria decided to upgrade the Radar and Landing facilities at the Malam
Aminu Kano International Airport,kano in Northern Nigeria.The contract ran
into several millions of Dollars.
The contract was handled by a foreign firm but because of the huge monetary
profit we envisaged we decided to over-invoice the contract sum.
Now the contract has been completed and the original contractor has since
been paid, but the contract balance of US$13.2 million, which resulted from
the over invoiced contract sum that has been left in a suspense account with
the CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA, is what I am
planning to take out of the country for myself.
The problem is as a government official, I am not supposed to own fat bank
accounts, talk less of having foreign ones. To this end, I am soliciting
your assistance as a foreign partner who can assist me and receive this
amount into your Account.
I am ready to share this money with you on the basis of participation. also
have plans to invest part of this money in any viable business in your
country under your care, as I am very close to retirement age. In any case,
I received a reference of you on the net while looking for a potential and
reliable partner. Please if you accept my proposal do not hesitate to send
me an e-mail, so that I can provide you with the basic procedures for the
release of the fund.
It does not matter whether you or your company does contract project of the
nature described here, the assumption is that you won a major contract and
subcontracted it to another company, more often than not, big trading
companies or individuals of unrelated field win major contracts here in
Nigeria and subcontracts same to more specialized firms for execution.
BENEFIT: For providing the account where we shall remit this money, you
will be entitled to 20% of the entire funds, 80% will be for me, while 5%
has been set aside to cover any expenses that may be incurred by both
parties during this transaction, both local and international.
Please I enjoin you to handle this transaction with utmost degree of
maturity and confidentiality because I am still in active government service
with the "FEDERAL MINISTRY OF AVIATION".
If I receive your response on time, this whole transaction could be
accomplished within the shortest possible time based on your nterest and
determination, since the money is already in transit.
Please, try to reach me soon as there is no much time to waste on this
Yours faithfully
Daggash Bugaji.
