RE: CONTRACT PAYMENT NOTIFICATION.
I am delighted to contact you on a private note based on your claim to your
contract fund, which has been programmed for transfer into your designated
bank account through my department.I am hereby apologizing to you for the
delay in releasing this fund into your account, which was caused by me
because of breach of agreement between me and your so called partners in
Nigeria who introduced you into this business Your Nigerian partners
approached me that they want to present you as a beneficiary to this fund as
it was an OVER- INVOICING made when they are awarding contract to foreign
firms. So after the negotiation, we unanimously agreed that they (your
partner) would give me the sum of US$50,000,000.00 (CASH) on my acceptance
to assist them to transfer the fund into your account.
When I accepted the offer, they forwarded all your banking particulars to me
for onward transfer. As soon as I made some fruitful effort on the business
and demanded my US$50,000.000.00 as agreed, your partners deviated from the
agreement and decided to go through the International Remittance Department
at my back and made a change of your bank account in other to disappoint me
and you also not knowing that the International Remittance Department is
also under my control.
Then I got the knowledge of their evil plans and [prove their illicit effort
abortive. That is why for sometime you have been pursing this payment,
spending unnecessary funds to release your fund.
I was to re-emphasize to you that your fund is still with me and under my
control. Now with my whole heart I want to enter into real business with you
on a sincere agreement since your partners has disappeared into tin air and
no where to be found and the fund is still flouting in your name waiting for
a proper documentation and claim.
1) On an agreement, I assure you that I am going to transfer this fund into
your account.
2) You will assure me of keeping my dealing with you to an utmost ecrecy
because of my position.
3) You will promise to give me 40% of the total fund as soon as the gets
into your account with a written promissory note signed by you.
4) I will assist you in making a proper documentation to make your claim
genuine, as a bonfired foreign contractor and the beneficiary to the said
fund.
Please reply this message urgently for more discussion and advice.
Yours faithfully
Robert Mike Obi
Director, Key Tested Telex Wire Transfer Dept
