Dear Sir,

I have been in correspondence with you for a while. I have sounded you out in every way possible and I do believe you are someone trustworthy that I can do business with. As such, I believe it’s time we cut to the chase and discuss business. I have explained to you previously my current political situation in my country, As such; I need to be very careful henceforth in all business transactions. I need to step out of the box and deal with people whom I have not dealt with before, if I continue to do business with people I have been dealing with all along, somewhere along the line, they would have too much information about me as well as have enough information to blackmail me.

The laws of my country state that a government official is not allowed to maintain and operate a foreign account, he is also meant to declare all his assets, both local and foreign. Very few politicians adhere to these laws; rather what they do is to go into alliances where their foreign assets are managed by a foreign partner for the period they are in office.

I wish to make a proposal to you which i believe will be mutually beneficial. At the moment, the totality of my funds outside Nigeria, are in three financial instruments. I currently own three Bonds totaling $120,000,000 (One Hundred and Fifty Million United States Dollars). As a matter of urgency, i need to get ownership of these instruments out of my name and i need someone trustworthy to take over ownership of these instruments and manage them for me for a period of four years. Once ownership has been transferred to you, we can discount the instruments and invest the funds, so that any time I have need for some liquid funds you would provide it out of the proceeds from our investments.

The instruments include a Euro 100million Bond issued by Societe Generale, a $10million Bond by Morgan Stanley and another $10million by Bank of America Merrill Lynch. I am willing to hand over these three instruments to you to manage on my behalf on an 80/20 basis, 80% to me and 20% to you. If this proposal is acceptable to you, i will give you information on the Bond for you to carry out a verification and authentication exercise after which we will then draw up the paper work for a Partnership Agreement, after which ownership of the instruments will be transferred to you.

Note that you would be assisting me mainly on the transferring ownership of the instrument to your name considering my political position that will not permit me to front the transfer of the ownership to you. Think about this proposal and if there are any questions on any grey areas, kindly feel free to ask. Get back to me at the earliest possible convenience so i can put you in touch with Eurocelar for authentication and verification of the instruments.
