Subject: YOUR ASSISTANCE REQUIRED
¡Tengo nueva dirección de correo!Ahora puedes escribirme a: mrjohnike01@yahoo.com.mx
FROM: MR. JOHN IKE
FEDERAL MINISTRY OF WORKS AND HOUSING,
LAGOS NIGERIA.
CONFIDENTIAL
YOUR ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.
Dear Partner,
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties in your country on
behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation of the Federal Ministry of works and
Housing in Nigeria.
Considering his very strategic and influential position, he would want the transaction to be
strictly as confidential as possible. He further want his identity to remain undisclosed at least
for now, until the completion of the transaction. Hence our desire to have an overseas agent.
I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our overseas agent in
order to actualise this transaction.
The Deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed investments in your
country is presently in a coded account in the African Development Bank Group and we need your
assistance to transfer the funds to your country or any safe account outside your country in a
convenient bank account that will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use.
For this you shall be considered to have executed a contract for the ministry. The contract sum
of which shall run into US$30.5Million of which your share shall be 30% if you agree to be our
overseas agent. Your area of specialisation does not matter in this transaction, all that is
required of you is a safe account and your willingness to assist us acquire estates in your
country.
As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is successfully transferred into
your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring some estates abroad. For this too, you
shall serve as our agent pending our retirements from government work. It might interest you
to note that last year, a similar transaction was carried out with one MR. CHIENCHEN YU of Taiwan
but after securing the payment approvals,and payment effected, MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his
numbers and addresses, and was no where to be found on our getting to Taiwan. That was how we
lost S$7Million.
So this time around , I will be with you before the remmittance is made into your provided
account to avoid future occurrence and allow trust to play a very minimal role until performance
is seen.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance or otherwise of this proposal,through this my
private email address: johnike10@gmail.com after which we shall discuss in details the modalities
for seeing this transaction through. If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy
this letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest of
personalities involved.
Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
Mr. JOHN IKE
