NIGERIAN TELECOMMUNICATION LIMITED.
FEDERAL SECRETARIAT COMPLEX,
GARKI, ZONE II ABUJA.
REF:rf/ntl-fgn
Dear Friend,
Please do not be disturbed about this mail as I am contacting you for
the first time through this medium, while nursing no doubts that you
will be of great assistance to this business proposal I am about
disclosing to you for our both mutual benefit.
I am Dr.Musa Mohammed, the Project Director of Nitel at the above
address.
Following my intentions of owning an offshore investment, I was urged
to contact a foreigner to assist in facilitating the immediate
release of $14Million United States Dollars into his/her bank account to
jointly execute my motive of securing an offshore investment. This
was because Nigeria's civil service code of conduct does not allow a
civil servant to own an offshore account or investment outside the shores
of Nigeria.
Sequel to this, I was able to contact a foreigner (Mr. Jim Walsh) an
American based in Nigeria to assist with the transfer. He agreed and
we proceeded in procuring all documents necessary to facilitate the
immediate release of the funds into his custody using him as a
Project Consultant to the Nigerian Telecommunication.
The money was as a result of an over-invoiced contract on contract
number "NTL-FGN01/PED-00" for the procurement, supply and
installation of Telecommunication equipment to Nitel regional offices up
to the tune of $52Million United States Dollars. It was awarded to a Swiss
Contractor who executed the contract and was fully paid i.e $38Million United
States Dollars leaving aside $14Million United States Dollars.
Final payment approval was granted on behalf of Mr. Jim Walsh by the
Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) to the paying bank while waiting
for the payment application from him to the bank but he suddenly died of
Cardiac Arrest leaving no Next of kin/beneficiary to the funds.
It is as a result of this, that I am contacting you to please stand
as the next of kin to Mr. Jim Walsh and new beneficiary to the funds to
enable the funds to be transfered into your custody. All documents to back
up your claim will be giving to you adequately while a
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will be reached between us to safe guard
our both interest in line of this transaction.
I am willing to compensate you with 25% of the total funds while the
rest 75% will be for me for the investments in your country as well
as assuring you that this transaction is 100% risk free and legal.
If this proposal is okay to you, please kindly get back to me to
enable me demand certain informations and briefing for the commencement
of this transaction.
Please always quote the reference number above in all correspondences
to me while confidentiality should be our watch word to my personal email
address and let me have you mobile telephone number so that i will call
you for detail discussion.
I await your urgent response.
Sincere regards,
Dr.Musa Mohammed
(Project Director,
Nitel).
