Subject: Attn:Business Proposal
Kind Attn;
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$15.6 M (FIFTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED
THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) &
BUSINESS INVESTMENTS PARTNERSHIP.
First,I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction,this
is by virtue of its nature as being
utterly confidential and top secret as you were introduced to us in
confidence through the Nigerian Chamber of
Commerce, Foreign Trade Division which provide databases of most
current listings of potential individuals and
foreign investors business
contact,email addresses and other important information of countries
overseas.
I am Alhaji Gambo Jimeta, the Secretary of the Federal government of
Nigeria Contract Award and Monitoring
Committee (CAMC) of the Petroleum (Special) Trust Development Fund
(PTDF).
Sometime ago to be precise by late last year, several contracts were
awarded to a conglomerate of Foreign
Companies by my committee on which i oversee on behalf of PTDF, the
contracts sum were over-invoiced in all the contracts awarded and
amounted to the tune of US $15.6 Million in
total.This was done deliberately, as the over-invoicing was a deal by
members of my committee to benefit from
the project as we intend securing the future of our lives after
retirement which is near having put in long
service in Government.
We now desire to transfer the money,which is presently lying in a
suspense of the PTDF in a Correspondent Bank
of theCentral Bank of Nigeria (CBN) into an overseas account which we
expect you to provide in assisting us. We
have unanimously agreed that the following funds
will be shared thus after it has been paid into your account;
a) 20% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the
fund.
b) 10% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursement
to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in the
course of the transaction.
c) 70% to us the government officials (which we wish to commence an
important business in conjunction with you
as you will be spear heading our own share of this funds to invest in
any worthy investments in your country or
area of business when we come for sharing.
I Would Require viz:
a) Name and address of Company/ Beneficiary
b) Your personal fax and Telephone numbers .
The above information would be used to make formal applications as a
matter of procedure from the desiginitated
Government paying institutions/Government Ministries/Parastatals over
here for the release of the money and
onward transfer to your nominated account.
It does not matter whether or not your company or you does contract
projects of this nature as described here,
the assumption here is that you won a major contract and subcontracted
it out to other companies.As more often
than not, big trading companies or individuals of unrelated field win
major contracts and subcontracts to more
specialized firms
for execution of such contracts and thus we are confident that with
this fact in place ,the
transaction will be successfuly executed without any hitches
whatsoever.
We have strong and reliable connections and strong contacts at the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other
desiginitated Government paying institutions/Government
Ministries/Parastatals who are available and ready to
work with us in this and we have no doubts at all that this money will
be released and transferred if we get
the necessaryforeign partners to assist us in this deal. Therefore,when
this business is successfully concluded
we shall through the same connections withdraw all documents used in
the execution of this transaction from all the concerned government
ministries invovled
for 100% security.
We thus want this money to be transferred to the foreign account which
you are going to provide bearing in mind
that our civil service code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign
company or running foreign account.
All expenses regarding the account opening if not already in existence
shall be borne by you,though all
expenses are however reimbursable as already stated above on conclusion
of business.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this mail by getting back to me in
the earliest possible time.However,this
matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency it
deserves bearing in mind and knowing
fully well that we are still in active service
in Government and have our untarnisahble good records in government
books to protect .
Please you should signify your intention to assist by you sending me a
mail through this box or through my
confidential email box (alhaji_gambojimeta@yahoo.co.uk) so that I can
brief you further with the blue print
details of the masterplan carefully scrutinized and outlined for this
mutually beneficial transaction so as to
give this transaction all the legalities and security due it for the
transfer of the funds.
I wait in anticipation of your co-operation.
Yours Faithfully,
Alhaji Gambo Jimeta.
