Hello and compliments.
It is my great pleasure to write you this letter based on brief business
search on the internet which has made me to seek a confidential co-operation
with you in the execution of A deal here for the benefit of two of us and
hope you will keep it confidential because of the nature of this business.
Within the Department of Minerals & Energy where I work as a Director of
Audit and Project Implementation , I have in our possession an over-due
payment in US funds. The said funds represent certain percentage of the
total contract value executed on behalf of my Department by a foreign contracting
firm, which I over-invoiced to the amount of Nineteen Million Seven Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars (US$ 19.7 Million). Though the actual contract
cost has been paid to the original contractor, leaving the excess balance
unclaimed in a suspense account of this ministry with one of the local banks.
Since the annoucement by the Government on it's determination to off-set
payments of all foreign contractors so as to maintain good relationship
with foreign governments and non-government agencies, I included this bill
for approvals with the Department of Finance and the Contract Review and
Payment Implementation Committee (CRPIC). Now the bill has been accepted
for approval and needed submission of foreign Contractor's information including
his banking details for the payment.
I'm therefore, soliciting and seeking your assistance to front as beneficiary
of the unclaimed funds since I am not allowed by our law to operate foreign
accounts. Details and change of beneficiary information upon application
for claim to reflect payment and approvals will be secured on behalf of
You/your Company. I have the believe on this proposal that you are capable
of assisting me and benefiting too in this transaction. Your share as compensation
shall be US $4.925m (25%), while I receive US$12.805m (65%) and the balance
of US $1.970m (10%) stands for reimbursment of taxation and any miscellaneous
expenses incurred.
This business is completely safe and secure, provided you give your total
support and keep it highly confidential. It does not matter whether You/your
Company does contract projects or not as the transfer will be secured in
favour of You/your
Company. Also, your area of specialization is not a hindrance to the successful
execution of this transaction. I have reposed my confidence in you already
and hope that you will not disappoint me.
Further details shall be furnished upon your acceptance of this proposal.
Thanks for your co-operation in advance.
Sincerly
Issa Hazim
