Dear Honorable,
How are you? I believer the favour hand of God is with you.
Please permit me to introduce myself to you despite that we have not met
before. I am Dr. Robert Basiel the chairman contract review panel to the
Presidency.
My request is this, there are several contracts awarded to foreign companies
last year which was supervised by me as the chairman of contract review.
Honestly, one of those contracts awarded was deliberately over-invoiced by
my office to the tune of US$70 million Dollars. Right now the President has
approved the contract for payment which includes the over-invoiced sum.
The question now is; can we rely on you to remit this sum into your account?
Since our Code of Conduct dose not permit us civil servant to own foreign
account. If yes that you can be trusted and reliable to approve this fund in
your name; please provide us immediately with the following information for
the remittance of the above fund.
Meanwhile, it is a risk to us trusting whom we have not seen before; but
business is all about risk provided we will work with one mind. Further
more, after the successful transfer; we will offer you with 20% of the total
sum as the account owner. If you agreed, here is the procedure.
*Fund Remittance Requirements*:-
1. Your Companies Name (if any)
2. Your Contact Address
3. A Bank Account from any of Wells Fargo bank branch near you, this is
because we have provided an online account with Wells Fargo bank for all
foreign contracts payment. whereby, you do not have an account with Wells
Fargo bank already, you are now required to open two different accounts;
Checking and Savings online account and forward its details to us to ensure
that this payment is made into the account immediately
4. A copy of your I.D either International Passport or Drivers License
for identification.
5. Your direct office or mobile phone number where you can be reach any
time
At the provision of the above requirements, your two bank accounts opened
will be Test-Run at least 5 or 7 times with a little fund transfer to ensure
the effectiveness of the account before the principal sum will be
transferred. This measure was approved to ensure that all foreign contract
payment do not encounter any international fund transfer predicament.
We hope you will cordially work with us to the benefit of both parties.
Please feel free to respond for more clarification where you did not
understand.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Robert Basiel
Chairman, Contract Review Panel {Presidency}.
