Dear Sir,
I am an Administrative Staff of Eleme Refining & Petrochemical Co. Ltd and I represent a group that is interested in engaging your service as Investment Manager and humanitarian purposes of a large volume of fund.
The intended business is thus; there was an over-inflated contract that was executed for the Department for Petroleum Resources (DPR) worth $32 million which has been lying fallow since the original contractor has been paid leaving the over-inflated amount which was done by this group I am representing. They are in charge of the accounts and finance section including the auditing department and have perfected all documents to back up the payment as to avoid any trace whatsoever which makes the transaction 100% risk free.
The issue of the kind of service I request from you would be that I need your assistance in receiving the amount of $32m and thereafter you invest it for a period of 2 years.
Secondly, you would be entitled to 25% of the total fund in question as the fund manager while 5% will be set aside for any sundry expenses incurred by both parties in the course of this transaction.
Meanwhile, I believe that you would be able to handle this project. Trustworthiness and confidentially should be our watch word so as to protect their highly exalted positions without denting their image and person in this regard. I really need your assurance and I want you to give me your maximum co-operation as far as this project is concerned.
I have a wife with seven children, four girls, three boys and I want to ensure that their future is secured financially with this project; therefore, you can understand my position towards this issue. It will be appreciated if you could tell me more about yourself.
Also, a working agreement paper would be drafted to this effect and signed by both parties before the processing of the payment via the relevant authorities and subsequent effecting of the payment into the account coordinate that you would provide for this purpose.
If this proposal is acceptable to you, please get back to me, so that we can work out the procedure for the execution of this transaction.
Please reach me strictly via my e-mail: njkmorris@albawaba.com together with your private telephone number for easy communication.
Yours Sincerely,
Njoku Morris
