DEAR APPROVED BENEFICIARY
RE: TRANSACTION.
IN THE LAST QUARTER CONTRACT PAYMENT OF 2006/07, WHICH WAS HANDLED FROM OUR OFFICE HERE IN LAGOS, YOUR PAYMENT FILE WAS AMONG (29) CONTRACT PAYMENTS FORMERLY APPROVED BUT WAS CANCELLED DUE TO IRREGULARITIES IN YOUR FILE CAUSED BY YOUR REPRESENTATIVES IN NIGERIA.I KNOW YOU MUST BE SURPRISED AT THIS DEVELOPMENT BUT I CHOSE TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH BECAUSE OF MY SINCERE WISH TO TREAT EVERY MAN, AS I WOULD EXPECT TO BE TREATED.
AFTER THOROUGH INVESTIGATION ON CONTRACT PAYMENT FILE AS DIRECTED BY THE PRESIDENCY, I DISCOVERED THAT IT WOULD TAKE A LONG PROCESS FOR YOUR FUND TO BE RELEASED DUE TO SOME IRREGULARITIES DETECTED IN YOUR FILE. DURING OUR INVESTIGATION, WE FOUND OUT THAT YOU HAVE SPENT SO MUCH MONEY IN TRYING TO REALIZE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT, WHICH DID NOT EVEN REFLECT IN YOUR FILE, BUT I HAVE AN OFFER, WHICH WILL AT LEAST HELP YOUR FINANCIAL STAND UNTIL YOU RECEIVE YOUR CONTRACT PAYMENT. THIS OFFER IS AN AMOUNT FROM FEDERAL GOVERNMENT LEFTOVER. IT IS A TOTAL SUM OF US$4,500,000.00 (FOUR MILLION AND FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY), WHICH WILL BE SHARED BETWEEN YOU AND I IN THE RATIO OF 50%-50%.
THIS AMOUNT IS NOT FROM YOUR CONTRACT SUM OR HAVE ANY THING RELATED TO YOUR CONTRACT SUM, RATHER IT IS A LEFT OVER FROM THE AMOUNT USED IN PAYING CONTRACTORS AND IT IS DIRECTLY UNDER MY CUSTODY. I AM OFFERING YOU THIS BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN THAT YOUR CONTRACT FUND WILL NOT BE RELEASED ON TIME UNTIL ALL THE ANOMALIES ARE RECTIFIED AND ALSO BECAUSE YOU ARE A GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR.
THE ONLY THINGS NEEDED FOR THIS US$4.5 MILLION TO BE TRANSFERRED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT UNDER 48 HOURS ARE AS FOLLOWS;
A NEW BANK ACCOUNT DETAILS
COPY OF YOUR INTERNATIONAL PASSPORT OR COPY OF YOUR DRIVING LINCENCE.
NORMALIZATION OF TRANSFER DOCUMENTS, WHICH WILL BE PROCURED IN NIGERIA TO AFFIRM THE FUND LEGALITY.
FOR YOUR INFORMATION, THIS IS NOT A CONTRACT PAYMENT. THEREFORE THERE WILL BE NO BUREAUCRACY OR MISFORTUNE. PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU ARE WILLING TO MAKE THIS DEAL WITH ME, YOU SHOULD CONTACT ME IMMEDIATELY ON THIS ABOVE TELEPHONE NUMBER OR PRIVATE EMAIL: adachiroma1@yahoo.co.in FURNISHING ME WITH YOUR NEW ACCOUNT AND YOUR CONFIDENTIAL TEL/FAX NUMBERS. ALSO BE INFORMED THAT THIS TRANSACTION WILL TAKE US JUST 72 HOURS TO ACCOMPLISH.
I KNOW THAT YOU ARE A FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR AND YOU MUST HAVE KNOWN A LOT OF OFFICIALS, PLS. DO NOT DISCUSS THIS TRANSACTION WITH ANY ONE.
YOURS TRULY,
DR. ADAMU CHIROMA
DIR. NIGERIA DEBT MANAGEMENT BUREAU
