Dear,
As I said in my e-mail to you We are sending this letter to you based
on the information gathered about your company from our private search,
we believe that you would be in a position to help us in our bid to
transfer the sum of ($15milliom USD Dollars) into your company account.
We are members of the special committee for budget and planning of the Ministry of Petroleum, this committee is principally concerned with
contract appraisals and approval of contracts in order to priorities as
regards capital project of the Federal Government of Nigeria.
With our positions, we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of($15M).This amount was accumulated through undercleared windfall from sales of crude oil during the Gulf War.
What we need from you is to provide us your company account were the fund will be transferred since Government officials are not allowed by our laws to operate foreign account.
It has been agreed that your company will be compensated with 30% of the remitted funds, we keep 60% while 10% will be set aside to offset expenses and pay the ssary taxes.
It may interest you to know that two years ago a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr. George Robert Pike, the president of Craine
International Trading Corporation at No.135, East 57th Street, 28th Floor, New York, 10022 with Telephone (212) 308-7788 and telex No.6731684,after the agreement between both partners in which he was to take 5%. The money was duly transferred into his account only to be disappointed on our arrival in new York as we were reliably informed
that Mr. George Robert Pike was no longer on that address while his telephone and telex numbers have reallocated to somebody else, that is how we lost US$17.5M to Mr. George Robert Pike.
This time around we need a more reliable and trustworthy person or a
reputable company to do business with, hence this letter to your company,
so if you can prove Yourself to be trusted and interested in this deal
then we are prepared to do business with you. What we want from you is
the assurance that you will let us have our share when this amount of
$15Million USD is transferred into your account. If this proposal satisfies you, please E-mail us your telephone Number, Fax number, and your banking particulars so that we can advice you on the modalities of the transaction.
All modalities of the transfer have been worked out and once started will not take more than 7 working days with the absolute support of allconcerned.
This transaction is 100% safe. Please treat as urgent and very confidential. God be with you as I look forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Chima Okafor.
