Subject: Confidential Business Proposal.
Federal secretariat complex
Ikoyi Lagos, Nigeria.
12 - 06 -2006
Attention: The President/CEO
Dear business partner,
My name is Ahmed Dangote, a native of Kano Town in Nigeria and I am a
Personal Manager with the Nigeria Department of Mining & Natural
Resources, and member debt reconciliation committee.
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information
gathered about you, I have the privilege to request for your
assistance to transfer the sum of 21,500,000.00 (Twenty one million,
five hundred thousand United States dollars) into your accounts.
The above sum resulted from an over-invoiced contract by our
colleagues in the contract tender board, this action was however
intentional and since then the funds approval has been kept secret. We
are now ready to transfer the fund overseas with the assistance of
our membership of Debt reconciliation Committee to pay all concerned
debt by Republic of Nigeria to all foreign contractors. In this
regards I solicit your partnership to front you as a foreign
contractor and the executor of the contract whose contract entitlement
is long due to be paid.
It is important to inform you that as civil servants, we are forbidden
to operate a foreign account; that is why we require your assistance.
The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for us, 20% for you and
10% for expenses incurred during the transaction.
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am a member of debt
reconciliation committee (DRC) the newly commissioned panel to review
all contract awarded to foreign contractors. Please if you find this
proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents;
(a) Your company name that you are to front as the executed company.
(b) Your private telephone and fax numbers – for confidentiality and
easy communication
I shall communicate to you more details on the modalities to get this
done, along with a breakdown explaining, comprehensively what we
require of you.
The business will take us (14) working days to accomplish. From the
date of the recommendation from (DRC)
please reply urgently to: ahmed_dangote1@myway.com
Best regards,
Ahmed Dangote.
