Dear Sir/Madam,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$15,600,000.00 (FIFTEEN MILLION SIX HUNDRED THOUSAND U.S DOLLARS ONLY)
I fervently pray that this letter soliciting for your kind assistance will not cause any embarrassment to you. I am aware that we have never seen each other before, neither have we exchanged any form of formal contact or correspondence before.I am equally also, aware that this world is full of dishonest people but I sincerely hope that my humble letter will touch your heart to assist us and give us the opportunity of being future inseparable.
I,on behalf of my other colleagues in the office (NNPC) have decided to solicit your assistance as regards the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund arose from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.
We as holders of official positions in our various parastatals, were mandated by this government to scrutinize all payments made to certain foreign contractors, and we discovered that some of these contracts they executed were grossly over-invoiced, either by omission or commission. Also, we discovered that the sum of $15,600,000.00.(Fifteen million six hundred thousand US Dollars only) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlements after executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount will be transferred (for our own use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, as the code of conduct of the Federal civil service does not allow us to operate foreign accounts. We are therefore seeking for your assistance based on the agreement been made written our self. The documents of this fund will be speedily processed for immediate remittance of the fund into your bank account.
On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you will be compensated with 25% of the total amount for assistance and 5% to be set aside for expenses on the process of this transaction while 70% is for me and my colleagues. This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our SENSITIVE POSITION we cannot afford a slip, I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free.We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences.
I am at your disposition to entertain any question(s) from you in respect of this transaction, so, contact me immediately through my alternative e-mail address: EMAIL:sani1idris@myway.com
Please,note that this DEAL needs utmost confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.musa sani idris.
