Dear Sir
TRANSFER OF USD$16.5MILLION INTO YOUR COMPANY/PERSONAL ACCOUNT
I, on behalf of my other colleagues in different organs of Federal
Government of Nigeria (FGN) owned Agencies decided to solicit your
assistance as regards transfer of the above-mentioned amount into your bank
account. This fund accrued from over invoicing of various contract awarded
in my Organization to certain Foreign Contractors sometimes ago.
We, as holders of sensitive position in our various Ministries, were
mandated by the Federal Government to Scrutinise all payments made to
certain foreign Contractors and we discovered that some of the contracts
they executed were grossly over-invoiced either by omission or commission.
In the process the sum of US$20M (Twenty Million US Dollars only) was found
lying in the Escrow Account after the foreign contractors had been paid
their rightful dues for executing the said contracts.
We all agreed that this over-invoiced amount be transferred (for our own
use) into a bank account provided by a foreign partner, because we as
government workers and the Code of Conduct does not allow us to operate
foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring some of this money precisely
US$3.5M (Three Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars only) into a foreign
account in INDONESIA (SOUTH EAST ASIA), but the provider of the account in
INDONESIA is up to some mischief and refuses to comply to the earlier mutual
agreement by insisting that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank
account before disbursement will take effect. If for a meagre sum of US$3.5M
(Three Million Five Hundred Thousand US Dollars only) we are not
compensated, is it when the balance of US$16.5M (Sixteen Million Five
Hundred Thousand US Dollars)is transferred that we will be sure of our full
compensation? Of course, this abuse of trust and inhumanity calls for sober
reflection and search for absolute trust.
Thus we are seeking your unwavering assistance that the remaining amount of
US$16.5M can be speedily processed and fully remitted into your nominated
bank account. On successful remittance of the fund into your account, you
will be compensated with 30% of the amount for your assistance and services.
So far, much have been said and due to our sensitive positions, we cannot
afford a slip in this transaction neither can we give out identity as
regards our respective offices, but whereby cordial relationship is
established, smooth operations commences, you will
be furnished with details of all you deserves to know.
I am at your disposition to entertain any question from you with respect to
this transaction, so contact me immediately through my
e:mail:ubavic@email.ro for further information on the requirements and
procedure for thistransaction.
Please, treat with the strictest confidentiality and utmost urgency.
Yours faithfully,
Mr.Uba Abraham.
YOU SHOULD GIVE ME A RESPONSE THROUGH MY CONFIDENTIAL E MAIL ADDRESS
