RE: PAYMENT SOLUTION
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 roject/transaction with
sincerity,trust and confidentiality. Let me use this opportunity to
introduce myself briefly to you. I am Mr. Ojo Maduekwe, Minister of Internal
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 amgoing to do this legally.
MY CONDITIONS AS FOLLOWS.
1. You will give me and my colleagues 60% at of the total sum as soon as you
confirm the total fund in your designated account. 40% will be for you for
your effort contributed to fanalise this transaction.
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 with 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.
