Subject: A LETTER OF INTENT.
Attention: Sir/Madam
I am Mallam Bello Ahmed,a member of the contract awarding and monitoring
cmmittee for the Federal Goverment of Nigeria.
I and my colleagues are top officials of contract award and monitoring
committee for the Federal Government of Nigeria (Nigeria/west Africa) and
the senior auditors of the AGRICULTURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (A.D.P) and
have here in our possession, Document to remit the sum of U.S.$22,500,000.00
(Twenty-Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) into
a reliable foreign account for our personal use. This sum originated form
kick backs and over-invoiced contracts for the supply of Agricultural
incentives and machinery to the AGRICULTURE MINISTRY project by a Bulgarian
company in July, 2001 the bonafide contractors had since been paid in full.
However, the over-invoiced sum in the contract payment voucher to the tune
of U.S.$22,500,000.00 (Twenty-Two Million, Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars Only) has been approved for payment as part of the grand
total for project executed.
Meeting have been held in respect of this, with other reputable officials in
the Ministry of Agriculture, Federal Ministry of finance and conclusion
arrived at to collaborate with a foreign firm/individual to claim this fund
for our mutual benefit, for this reason i was mandated to communicate you
for maximum assistance and co-operation.
An agreement has been reached to share the money thus:
1.30% for you, the account owner
2.5% set aside for local and international expenses
3.65% for us the officials.
We want your total support and promise that you will not disappoint us by
denying us our own share of the fund, because we are not allowed to operate
foreign accounts (i.e. civil servants) by Nigeria law. We intend to invest
our share of the money in your country or better still purchase goods for
resale in Nigeria.
Be informed that this transaction is risk free as all arrangements have been
concluded on our side, all we want from you to hasten this transaction are,
your telephone, your banking particulars (i.e. bankers name and address,
account number) into which this fund will be transferred. Be rest assured
that as soon as these are sent to me, two working weeks will be enough to
conclude this deal.
Note: your line of business does not matter in this transaction, all that
matters is your honesty and ability to keep our share for us.
Please contact through mail or call me on +234-806-863-5458.
Expecting your prompt response.
Yours faithfully,
Mallam Bello Ahmed,
