CHAIRMAN(FEDERAL CONTRACT AWARD COMMITTEE)
ECOWAS BUILDING F.C.T.ABUJA,NIGERIA.
Dear Sir,
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in
this letter.Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must first
implore you to treat with the utmost confidentiality as this is required for
its success and to have faith in this transaction,for opportunities like
this only comes to one once in a life time.
Am senior officials of the Federal Government of Nigeria,Contracts Review
Panel (CRP) who are interested in diverting some funds that are presently
loating in the accounts of the Apex Bank of my country.In order to commence
this transaction, we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into
your nominated account the said floating funds.We are determined to conclude
the transfer before the end of this quarter of 2009.
The source of the funds are as follows:
During the last civilian regime in my country,government officials setup
companies and awarded themselves contracts that were grossly over-invoiced
in various ministries and parastatals.The present civilian government set up
the Contract Review Panel, which has the mandate to use the instruments of
payments made available to it by the decree setting up the panel, to review
these contracts and if necessary pay those who are being owed outstanding
amounts.I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds which are
presently floating in our (Apex) Central Bank ready for disbursement and
would like to divert some of it for my own purposes. However, by virtue of
my positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot acquire
these funds in our names or in the names of companies that are based in my
country.As a matter of trust in the panel, I look for a reliable overseas
partner into whose account we can transfer the sum of u.S.$10,500,000.00
(Ten million, five hundred thousand U.S.dollars).That is why I am seeking
your assistance.
I have agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account, if you
agree with I proposition as follows:
(i) 25% to the account owner(you).
(ii) 65% for us (the panel officials).
(iii) 10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us)
incidental to the actualization of this project.
I wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in any viable
business that you think I can invest the fund into in your country. Please
note that this transaction is 100% safe and risk-free.I intend to effect the
transfer within fourteen (14)banking days from the date of receipt of the
following information from you.
1.Your company's name.
2.Contact address.
3.Telephone and fax numbers we Will use.
I will use your company's name to apply for the payment and backdate the
award of the contract in favour of your company,I look forward to doing this
transaction with you and I solicit for your utmost confidentiality in this
transaction.I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this
transaction when I hear from you.
God Bless you.
Best regards,
DR.AKIN DEBO
