Attn: CEO/Managing Director
Sir,
Complements of the day to you. I came to get your contact, which I decided to
contact you pertaining a business proposal. I am the Senior Accountant of Central
Bank of Nigeria (Lagos Branch) and I am sorry if this letter comes to you as a
embarrassment, but be restassured that it is with
trust I disclose my business proposal to you.
This business has been maturing with time and I am at the concluding part of this
deal. To cut the story short, In 1998 the Nigerian National Petroleum
Cooperation (NNPC) awarded a Fifty Six Million Dollars (US$56Million Dollars)
contract to a consortium of two firms(Sbibat Gmbh of Germany) & (Japan Marubent
co-operation of Japan to supply Oil Equipment. This project has been completed in
the year 2002 and short term loans and related depts paid off.
In my capacity and power as the Senior Accountant in the Banks Account Department
for the Federal Government Foreign Contractors sets up by the
President of the Federation, I have been able to reschedule payment of thirty
Million (US$30Million Dollars) whichhas been already been paid to Sbibat
Gmbh of Germany this year 2002. So I took advantage of some irregularities in
the Banks Foreign Contractors database and easily reflected in the Banks up date
statement ofAccount, as outstanding debt owed, to be paid to Sbibat Gmbh.
At this moment I have rectified payment advice for transfer of thirty Million
Dollars (US$30Million Dollars) to be paid by telegraphic transfer or bank
certified cheque into a foreign account abroad.
On behalf of all wishes to transfer this amount into your Company/Personal
Account provide by you, the following information will be need to facilitate the
transfer of the funds as quickly as possible.
1. Your banking particulars including their telephone & fax number where the
funds will be transferred into and also their telex number.
2. Your personal Telephone, Fax & Mobile Number, also your Email Address for
easy communication.
Finally may you be notified about our meeting on a neutral ground face to face as
soon as your banking particulars have been fax or email to me to enable me to
facilitate this transfer as quickly as possible.
I appreciate to inform you that documents to back up this project executed by you
or your company for you to provide at any called time here in Nigeria will be
sent to you by fax from the various ministries and originals by Courier Services,
so that you can prove that you are the actual contractor and the beneficiary of
the Contract Sum.
Hoping to hear from you.
Thanks and best regards
