Subject: Please Your urgent reply(Thanks)
Dear Sir/madam,
I write to solicit your confidence in this transaction,
this is by virtue of its nature as utterly CONFIDENTIAL
and TOP SECRET. Though I know that the transaction of
this magnitude will make any one apprehensive and
worried, but I am assuring you that my contact with you
is with genuine and good intentions and will be to our
benefits at the conclusion. I have decided to contact
you due to the urgency of this transaction.
I am ENGR. WILLIAMS BELLO, A Director with the Nigerian
National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Eleme Refinery,
Port Harcourt in Rivers State. I came to know of you in
my private search for a reliable and reputable person to
handle the confidential transaction, which involves the
transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account
requiring maximum confidence.
THE PROPOSITION:
A foreigner, Engineer James Akmed, an Oil
Merchant/Contractor with the Federal Government of
Nigeria, until his suspension three years ago, executed
with us at Eleme Refinery of NNPC, and had a total
contract executed worth US$32.5M (Thirty Two
Million,Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollar)
which flows in the Corporation's suspense account.
It is because of the allegation/petition leveled against
him that he (Engr. James Akmed) who is a close friend to
the late dictatorship General Sanni Abacha (formal
Military President of Nigeria) who died in office in
1998 and during his tenure the country experienced
various mismanagement and series of malpractices were
carried out in collaboration with his foreign friends.
However, a Panel were set up to investigate the issue,
who found him (Engr. James Akmed) guilty and the present
Democratic President of Nigeria Chief Olusegun Obasanjo
suspended him from transacting any business in Nigeria
with immediate effect and was asked to leave the
country.
However, these made the contract fund "UNCLAIMED" which
was only known to my colleagues and I. Fortunately, all
the Contract document including the "CONTRACT COMPLETION
CERTIFICATE" are with me but the need for a very
trustworthy foreign business man/woman whom I would
present as the Foreign contractor/beneficiary to claim
the fund.
In order to achieve this development, my colleague and I
now seek your permission to have you stand as the
FOREIGN CONTRACTOR so that the funds would be released
and paid into your account as beneficiary who executed
the contract in the year 1999. All documents and proves
to enable you get this fund will be carefully worked
out.
More so, we are assuring you of a 100% risk free
involvement. Your share stays while the rest would be
for me and my colleagues for investment purposes in your
country.
We have agree that, the funds be shared thus, after it
has been transferred into your nominated
account:
(1) 15% of the money will go to you for acting as the
beneficiary of the fund.
(2) 5% will be set aside for reimbursement to both
parties for any incidental expenses that may be incurred
in the cause of the transfer.
(3) 80% to us the originator of the transaction.
If this proposal is acceptable by you, furnish me with
your full name and your most confidential Telephone and
Fax Number(s) to enable me communicate with you and send
you details of this transaction.
I assure you that if you will follow my instruction, the
fund shall be in your Account within 7-10 working days
of submitting your personal/bank information at the
appropriate government authorities for approval of the
new contract documents in your favour.
Thanking you for your kind understanding in this regard.
While I await your urgent response.
My best regards,
ENGR. WILLIAMS BELLO (MNSE)(MON)
