>From The Desk of: Rasaq Momoh Contract Review Penal(CPR) Federal Ministry of Environment lagos.Telephone: +234-8033113377 Dear VICTIMNAME,Thank you for your willingness to assist us in this transaction. I hope all is well with you. I went through your mail and the content was well understood. I thank you very much for expressing your fillings as regards this transaction. I will appreciate that as we commence in this project if there are areas that you are not cleared with do not hesitate to ask me. I will explain to you the true nature of this transaction. This might sound to good to be true but it is true. This transaction is for real. I am 56 years of age and married to my lovely wife Ann, we are blessed with kids. Opportunity like this comes once in a life time. This project will change our lifes for the better. we would have done this project on our own but the civil service code of conduct forbids us from having
foreign account and company while still in active government. That is why the need for a foreign assistance came up and that is why we made contacts. Transfer of funds out of my country is a common tradition. It is a common practise with top government officials. have worked, suffered for my country all the years with little or nothing to show for it. In the next 2 years to come I will be retired. I want a better life for my children after service, that is why when this opportunity came up I had to grab it. This project is for real and I do not have any intentions whatsoever to do anything that will give you troubles or problems.I have decided to give you more details and also the modalities for a speedy realization of this transaction. I am doing this in conformity with our desire to enjoy the proceeds of this transaction with absolute peace of mind after the successful transfer of these funds into your nominated account. Before proceeding to give you details of this
project and the modalities for its conclusion, it is pertinent to address a very important issue, which if not properly tackled, could cause an impediment to the progress of this transaction. This issue is "CONFIDENTIALITY". We believe that its importance cannot be over emphasized, taking into consideration the very nature of this transaction. Very many people in my country and I’m sure also in yours, will do a lot of things to get their hands on the kind of money we are talking about so we must exercise all forms of caution. Apart from this, the fact that its direct participants (i.e. we) like I said earlier are career civil servants who are still in active government service and would not want our image tarnished or jeopardized is most important. We have been given the kind of position people wait a lifetime to attain. On our part, we are totally disposed to maintenance of absolute confidentiality, and we cannot perform less. We therefore ask you to equally adhere to this
collective wish. Be rest assured that this project is risk free and fail proof to all intents and purposes.You are also very free to bargain on your percentage if you want to. Being members of the Contract Review Panel (CRP), we are privileged to have at our disposal the necessary instruments required for the realization of this project. We are also the body empowered with the statutory responsibility of giving advice on all issues pertaining to previous foreign contracts payment. And as we have unlimited access to all past foreign contract payment files. You must however understand that for our desired success tomaterialize, you must follow our instructions strictly and promptly. If you follow my instructions religiously within the next 5-10 working days this project will be concluded.. We have the necessary contacts and have also made financial provisions to ensure that all possible bottlenecks at our end will be sorted. The way the contract was structured,the contractors
were fully paid with 60% of the total contract sum as mobilization fees and this was used to conclude and commission the project. The balance of 40%, which is what we are now trying to claim, was to go to their Nigerian counterparts as gratification as this was the usual practice at that time but due to changes in the political climate which led to a reshuffle in government, the parties involved in the transaction no longer had the necessary leverage to process the remittance of the excess amount outside the country. Apparently this sort of practice was very rampant in my country at that time. Some people made a lot of money and some others could not conclude their transactions and thus a lot of dedicated funds have been lying idle in the foreign payments accounts at the Debt Management Department of Nigeria. Contracts of this nature are what the Contract Review Panel was set up to investigate and we the members of the panel, we have developed and perfected a process of
getting some of these funds for ourselves. Our good fortune is that we have been given the responsibility of deciding which claims are legitimate and which are not. You must understand that this kind of money can change many a mans life and we do not want this opportunity to pass us by. It is our hopes that you will be instrumental in assisting us achieve our dreams. 1.To commence this project, with your banking information, we shall put up a payment claims application to the Federal Ministry Of Environment (FME) issuing the mandatory fund release approval/recommendations in your favor prior to the remittance of the funds to your nominated bank account. We shall also register your company and pay the necessary taxes for this over here as required by law. All these shall be backdated. On paper,we shall ensure that it appears your company carried out the contract. 11This is the most important aspect of the project because it is at this stage that the all-important and vital
fund release approval/recommendations from the Federal Ministry of Finance are issued. Once they are issued,it means that over 80% of the processes of the fund transfer have been concluded. However, you can be rest assured that we have set up perfect machinery in motion to ensure that they are issued in your favor without fail. In fact the respective Directors-general in charge of the respective ministries responsible for the issuance of these funds release approvals/recommendations have committed themselves to issuing these approvals. IIIFrom our enquiries so far, we were reliably informed that in accordance with foreign payments regulations and guidelines (as promulgated in Decree 21 of 1979, reflecting Nigeria Contract Law/Payment Act 2, Sub-section4-5 and as amended in September 1994), beneficiaries at the final stage of their contract payments are expected to come forward to the office of the Foreign Operations Unit of the Federal Ministry of Finance of Nigeria for
proper identification as the recognized beneficiary. However, the “Provision Ordinance Act” on foreign payment guidelines permits beneficiaries to observe their final signing via any of the following options. OPTION 1 The Federal Government of my country in accordance with the Federal Ministry of Finance(FMF) has a new provision in the constitution of my country, where by a foreign contractor that is unable to come to the office of the FMF here in Nigeria for authentification and Verification on health grounds can be exempted and allowed to use any of their offshore Centers across the globe ,that is operational as at the time of request. OPTION 2 The new constitution also gives room for a contractor to get a legal representative, that must be a Federal Government accredited Attorney to sign on his behalf.
OPTION 3 This option, you can apply for the Final fund Release Document to be sent to you in your office in your country. (i)Contract sum = $27.3M US Dollars,(ii)Nigerian partners = 70%,(iii)Foreign partner (i.e. yourself) = 25%(iv)Contingency/Expenses = 5% We will be ready to share the money as soon as it is wire-transferred into your nominated account. However, if you decide to help us supervise our investment plan, we will appreciate this and discuss your payment for it. I dare to say that it is because of the unbridled corruption going on in my country that this project is possible. If we must succeed, then we must all summon the courage needed to bring this project to fruition. My colleagues and I have been working out the modalities for two years and all is in place to achieve our goal. You must therefore be ready to assist us hole heartedly. Full audit report will normally be sent with the wire-transfer papers to your
bank from the FMF. This will handle source and application of the incoming money and explain all tax details to your revenue service. And also when the funds is set to be transfered to your account,we shall obtain letter from the Attorney General of my country.This letter will prove to your governemt or anybody that the funds in question is your legal contract entitlement and that the funds are not of any illegal source such as money laundry or terrorist.This letter will be sent alongside with the funds to your account. HOWEVER,YOU CAN PRESENT A NEW ACCOUNT OR A ZERO BASE ACCOUNT FOR THE PURPOSE OF THIS TRANSACTION. I assure you that if you maintain the required confidentiality, the project will be successfully concluded. Remember that all calls to me must be direct. No operator assisted calls. For us to commence with this transaction I will need you to send to me your full company profile which is as follows.PLEASE TRANSCRIBE ON YOUR LETTERHEAD WITH YOUR NOMINATED BANK
