Urgent Business Relationship
I am Dr.Usman Hassan, Chairman of Contract Award and Verification Panel set
up by the Nigerian Ministry of Petroleum. After thorough deliberations, my
colleagues and I decided to contact you for a very confidential business
transaction of mutual benefit. During our verification exercise, we came across an over-invoiced contract (Contract No:FMP/PED/1473/96).
This contract was awarded in July,1996 and completed in August, 1998, and the original contractor has since been paid his contract sum leaving the over-invoice sum of US$75.5m (Seventy Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) This amount have been left floating in our account with the federation bank, until our recent discovery. My colleagues and I have decided to seek for a reliable foreign partner into whose account the fund will be transferred into for our own use.
If this proposal is acceptable to you,a"Deed of Transfer" of the above contract will be obtained on your behalf, to empower you as the legal beneficiary of the contract and the sum to be transferred. All necessary and relevant documents will be procured for the release and transfer of the fund into your nominated account. An application for foreign exchange allocation will be made on your behalf from my office to the federal ministry of finance (FMF) and the federation
bank for the subsequent release and transfer of the fund into your nominated
account.
Be informed that we are working in collaboration with top officials of the federal ministry of finance and the federation bank, who will release the fund. With your cooperation the success of this transaction is guaranteed. We have agreed to compensate you with 20% of the total sum, 70% will be for me and my colleagues here, while the remaining 10% have been mapped-out for miscellaneous expenses that might be incurred by both parties during the course of this transaction.
