Sir,Re: Confidential Business Transaction
I am Timi Alaibo, the present Executive Director Finance, Niger Delta Development Commission of Federal
Rebuplic of Nigeria.
Your dossier was obtained from Nigerian/International Chambers of Commerce in quest for a trustworthyindividual/company for a confidential business transaction.
Since I was appointed a Executive Director in the above mentioned Commission, I have accumulated the total sumof US$55.5M (Fifty Five Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars only) from over-invoiced awarded contracts by the Commission, which is now deposited in a private account with a security company in Europe. Be informed that deposit details of Funds will be provided to you upon the confirmation of your preparedness,
which you can as well verify online.
However, Olusegun Obasanjo, the President of Nigeria has ordered an inquiry into corruption as a graft scandal engulfs his Government. Therefore, I am soliciting your assistance to lay claims to this funds deposited with the security Company and funds transferred to your account, pending my retirement in 2006.
The reason for the above is that the code of conduct bureau in my country does not allow a civil servant to operate a foreign based account or own any large capital investment. Be reminded that an account with zero credit balance can serve the purpose of this transaction.
Furthermore, to show my preparedness to work with you, I have earmarked 25% of the total sum for you since you are providing the coverage for the funds; while the remaining 75% shall be for me since I shall bear the costs of all expenditures until the fund in question finally gets into your account.
Note, I have arranged with the Security company to transfer via wire or to deliver the funds to in cash through their Diplomatic Courier Service, this make it very simple and risk free legally or otherwise.
For the security of this transaction, I want all communication regarding this transaction to be between you and my private attorney Barr. Timothy Collins Esq., who is currently in London,
UK; and his contact numbers are as stated below:
