From the Desk of Adams Bello
Minister, Foreign Affairs Ministry.
Awolowo Road,
Lagos Nigeria.
Greetings,
I apologized using this medium to reach you for a transaction/business
of this magnitude, but this is due to Confidentiality and prompt access
reposed on this medium. In unfolding this proposal, I want to count on
you, as a respected and honest person to handle this
project/transaction with sincerity, trust and confidentiality.
Let me use this opportunity to introduce myself briefly to you. I am
Adams Bello, Minister of Foreign Affairs Ministry Nigeria. My office
monitors and controls the affairs of all banks and financial
institutions
in my country concerned with foreign contract payments.
I am the final signatory to any transfer or remittance of funds moving
within banks both on the local and international levels in line to
foreign contracts settlement. I have before me, list of funds which
could
not be transferred to some nominated accounts as these accounts have
been identified either as ghost accounts, unclaimed deposits or
over-invoiced sum e.t.c.
Now listen carefully please. I write to present you to the federal
government that you are among the people expecting the funds to be
transferred into their accounts. On this note, I wish to have a deal
with you
as regards to the unpaid certified contract funds.
I have every file before me and the data's will be changed into your
name to enable you receive the fund into your nominated account as the
contractor/beneficiary of the fund amount $20
Million U.S.D.
It is my duty to recommend the transfer of these surplus funds to the
federal government treasury and reserve accounts as unclaimed deposits.
I have the opportunity to write you based on the instructions I
received 2 days ago from the Senate Committee on Contract Payments to
Foreign
Debts to submit the list of payment reports / expenditures and audited
reports of revenues.
Among several others, I have decided to remit this sum following my
idea that we have a deal/agreement and I am going to do this legally.
MY CONDITIONS AS FOLLOWS.
1. You will give me and my colleagues 65% at of the total sum as soon
as you confirm the total fund in your designated account. 30% will be
for you for your effort while 5% should be set aside for any
miscellaneous expenses.
2. This transaction must be kept highly secretive as I am still in
service to avoid public notice and all correspondence will be strictly
by
email for security purposes. We will talk on phone partially if any
warrant for that.
3. There should be no third parties as most problems associated with
your fund release are caused by your agents or representative.
If you agree with my conditions, I will intimate you w ith the
procedures to enable me fix your name on the payment schedule instantly
to meet
the three days mandate.
I hope you don't reject this offer as this great opportunity comes but
once in one's entire life.
Conclusively, I look forward to hearing from you soonest.
Regards,
Adams Bello
Foreign Affairs Minister.
