Request for urgent business relationship in respect of the transfer of US$40,000,000.00M (Forty Million United States Dollars only) into your account.Firstly, let me apologize for infringing
into your privacy.This is necessary as I hope to present a proposal to you,which I know, would be of immense benefit to you and I. I am very much aware that you might have come across this kind of proposition, as a lot of scandalous misrepresentation, which have been perpetuated by my government in collaboration with other foreign governments to curb and frustrate the efforts of people like myself who are trying to better the lives of their families.
My name is Paul Ademola and I am an acting director with the Federal Ministry of Works of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria. Though I am highly placed, I am also poorly paid. With this kind of
situation,the trend in my country is to use your position to get as much as you can for your
family before retirement or else one will suffer a great deal. So that when you get an
opportunity to help yourself you will immediately do so without destroying anything or anyone.
Such a God given opportunity is what I am faced with now.
I,on behalf of my other colleagues from different Federal Government of Nigeria owned Ministries decided to solicit your assistance as regards the transfer of the above stated amount into any account provided by you. This fund arouse from the over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my Ministry to certain foreign contractors some time ago. We as holders of sensitive positions in our various Ministries have been mandated by the civilian Government of my country to scrutinize all payments made to foreign contractors, and we discovered that some of the contracts they executed were grossly over invoiced, either by omission or commission. Also, we discovered that the sum of (US$40.M)Forty Million United States Dollars was lying in a suspense account,although the foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlement after executing the said contracts. We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred(for our own use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner!
. As the code of conduct of Federal civil service restricts us to a certain level of banking facilities, which does not allow us the opportunity of operating a domiciliary account (foreign account), which makes the need for a foreign partner like you imperative.
However, it may interest you to know that we have succeeded in transferring some part of the money before precisely (US$5.M) Five Million United States Dollars into a Foreign Account in Morocco (North Africa), but unfortunately the provider of the account severed all forms of communications with us immediately the funds were disbursed into his account. Out of the US$5.million we were not compensated at all, how can one be guarantee of full compensation on remittance of the balance (US$35.million) Thirty Five Million United States Dollars. We therefore seek your assistance and full co-operation as regards transferring the balance amount of US$35.Million, which can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated account; you will be compensated with 15% of the amount for your assistance and service.
This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our sensitive position, we cannot afford any mistakes. I assure you that this transaction is 100! % hitch free. We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences. I am at your disposition to entertain any question from you in respect of this transaction, so contact me immediately through my confidential email address for further
information on the requirement and procedure. I decided to communicate this to you through your e-mail because I am of the opinion that it is confidential. Due to the nature of this transaction
we beg you to maintain absolute confidentiality at all levels. I expect you to respond to this
proposal urgently through my confidential e-mail address (ademola_nig@hotmail.com).
And please note,if you are not interested, I beg you in the name of God Almighty to forget about this mail and me, because we have put in many years of meritorious service to our country and therefore would not want our reputation dented or our family names dragged in mud, we therefore urge you to handle this proposal with strict confidentiality. Please treat with strict confidentiality and utmost urgency.
Best regards
DR. Ademola Paul.
Director
