Urgent Business Relationship
Attention.
My name is Mr.SHEHU IDRIS, a procurement accountant with the Federal Ministry of Power and
Steel, Federal Republic of Nigeria and a member of contract tender board (CTB) of the above named corporation.
I came to know your esteemed address in my private search for a reliable and reputable person or for a reliable individual company who can handle a strictly confidential transaction which involves the transfer of a reasonable sum of money to foreign account.
This money amount to a total OF EIGHTEEN Million United States Dollars (US$18,000,000.00) only, already extracted from various contracts awarded by the contract tenders board, as a result over invoicing by the concerned officials has been draft to represent final payment for a contract that has been executed to the Ministry of Power and steel some years back. The money is now floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) awaiting claim by a foreign partner whose status we now want you to assume.
Now is the optimum period to consumate this transaction following the presidential directive to all corporations to pay off all foreign debts. I therefore, seek for your assistance to remit this money into your personal or company's account. In my last meeting with other officials involved, it was unanimously agreed that 20% of the total sum will be given to you, 75% will be for me and my colleagues, while 5% will be used to reimburse the expenses that may be incurred in the process of the transfer.
I assure you that the transaction is 100% risk free as we have concluded every arrangement to protect the interest of every one involved, likewise all modalities for the successful transfer of this money have been worked out with the federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria to facilitate the remittance of the money to your designated account.If this business proposal interests you, kindly send a letter of willingness through the above email number for the immediate commencement of remittance, this will enable me furnish you with detail information.
However, I would want to believe that you are honest enough and will not raise any misgiving attitude in any aspect of the transaction, so as to tarnish the confidence reposed on these officers by the nations financial house.
Meanwhile, you immediate response will be highly appreciated.
Please treat this information as confidential.
Regards.
Mr. SHEHU IDRIS
