Your candid:
REF: URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
Most competent people are choosen for competent jobs and assignments,and
with that due respect have we also choosen to select you and contact you on
this very confidential matter. Our Nigerian Chamber of Commerce and industry
offers variety of names of notable people from your part of the Globe. That
was where I got your information from. Therefore, after due deliberation
with my partners, we decided to forward to you this proposal. We believe
that you would be in a position to help us in our bid to transfer the sum of
US$41.5M(Forty-0ne million, five hundred thousand dollars only) into a
foreign account. We shall make it 100% legal as much possible as you would
want.
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 of priorities as regards
CAPITAL PROJECTS of the Federal Government of Nigeria. With our positions,
we have successfully secured for ourselves the sum of Forty-one Million,
Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars(US$41.5M).We are working with
the present Democratically elected Government in my country, and we are
seeking the support of Foreign Government to win the next election coming up
in the year 2007, which the race has started. So they have given directive
to all Federal Parastatals to settle all Foreign Contractors being owed for
contract that they have done. Therefore, our plan is to include your name as
one of the contractors being owed in our
corporation.
What we need from you is to provide a safe Account into which the funds will
be transferred since Government Officials in my country are not allowed by
our laws to Operate Foreign Accounts. It has been agreed that you will be
compensated with US$8.3 Million of the remitted funds.
US$31.125Million belongs to us, while US$2.075Million will be set aside to
offset expenses and pay the necessary taxes. It may interest you to know
that two years ago a similar transaction was carried out with one Mr.
Patrice Miller, the C.E.O of Crane International Trading Corporation at
number 135, East 57th street, 28th floor, New York 10022, with Telephone
(212)308-7788 and Telex Number 6731689. After the agreement between both of
us in which he was to take 25% of the money as his share, the money was duly
transferred into his Account. We were disappointed on our arrival in New
York as we were reliably informed that Mr. Patrice Miller was no longer on
that address while his Telephone and Telex Numbers have been reallocated to
somebody else. That was how we lost US$27.5M to Mr.Patrice Miller.
This time around we would not want you to be like that. We need a more
reliable and trustworthy person and a reputable Company to do this business
with, hence we contacted you. 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 US$41.5M is transferred into your account.
If this proposal satisfies you, please contact us, so we can advice you on
the modalities of the transaction. All modalities of this transfer, have
been worked out and once started will not take more than 7 Banking days with
the absolute support of all concerned. This transaction is 100% safe and
risk free now and after the transfer.
If you are willing to assist me in this transaction, then feel free to
contact me on my personal email address : jonyewuchi_dobp@yahoo.es
Kindly treat this as urgent and very confidential.
