FROM THE DESK OF: MR TONY WILLYS ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF
ESTATES.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties
in your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance Allocation
of the Federal Ministry of works and Housing in Nigeria.Considering his
very strategic and influential position, he would want the transaction to
be strictly as confidential as possible. He further want his identity to
remain undisclosed at least for now, until the completion of the transaction.
Hence our desire to have an overseas agent. I have therefore been directed
to inquire if you would agree to act as our overseas agent in order to actualise
this transaction.
The deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed
investments in your country is presently in a coded account in the Nigerian{Bank}
and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country or any
safe account outside your country in a convenient Bank Account)thatwill
be provided by you before we can put the funds into use. For this you shall
be considered to have executed a contract for the ministry.
The contract sum of which shall run into Fifty Million, United States Dollars{US$50Million}of
which your share will be 30% if you agree to be our overseas agent.
Your area of specialisation does not matter in this transaction, all that
is required of you is a Safe Account and your willingness to assist us acquire
estates in your Country.
As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is successfully
transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring
some estates abroad. For this too, you shall serve as our agent.
It might interest you to note that last year, a similar transaction was
carried out with one MR. CHIENCHEN YU of Taiwan but after securing the Payment
approvals, and payment effected, MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his numbers and
addresses,and was no where to be found on our getting to Taiwan. That was
how we lost US$15Million.
So this time around, I will be with you before the remittance is made into
your provided account to avoid future occurrence and allow trust to play
a very minimal role until performance is seen.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance or therwise of this proposal,through
my email address: tonywillys@yahoo.com/my cellphone: 234-803-3193773, after
which we shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction
through. If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy this
letter in view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest
of personalities involved. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
MR TONY WILLYS.
