My name is Ubi Telga, a Sudanese lawyer. I wish to request your hand of
cooperation in a business deal on behalf of Mrs Julian Makoko whose husband
was brutally murdered in Dafur crises by southern rebels in late 2003.
Her husband Tigani Makoko was the head of Commission on oil field
maintenance in Dafur region. Six months after his death, his wife solicited
my assistance in regards to a maintenance project initiated by her husband
in late 2000 in order to generate personal funds for his political ambition.
She further explained to me that one of the maintenance projects in Heglig
and Unity oil fields, was accurately programmed by her husband through the
State Commission’s Office. This project was officially signed and approved
by the Ministry of Energy and Mining in February 2001 for the duration of
three years. The project, which was valued for US$14.4 million dollars is
now due to be paid into a foreign account as stated in the records. As a
matter of fact, this project was not truly awarded to any company but it was
officially drafted and documented under Tigani Makoko’s tenure as an
executed project. Tigani’s mission was to gain the money and transfer it
from the state government’s account as job payment to a foreigner’s account
where he can have access to it. Following his sudden murder, his wife
determined to conclude her husband’s already started venture without
hesitation. Based on her determination, she confided in me to assist her in
seeking for a foreigner who can be trusted in a business deal of this
nature.
I therefore contact you to explore your willingness and capability in
regards to the receiving of this fund in your bank account on behalf of Mrs.
Makoko. A share of 20% from the total amount has been considered as
compensation to the account owner as soon as the money is confirmed in the
provided bank account. Kindly give this letter a comprehensive thought and
get back to me as soon as possible for further discussions. I wait for your
response. Best Regards. Ubi Telga. From Sudan.
