From: Francis Martins <franc_martins@yahoo.com>
Date: Tue, 11 Oct 2005 15:22:41 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Hello Sir.
Dear Sir,
I am Mr Francis Martins, the Financial Controller and Committee Chairman(FCCC) on
sales of federal government properties in Nigeria, presently i am working
with the Federal ministry of works and housing (FMWH) under which the sales
took place. I know my contact to you will be of surprise to you because we did
not know each other before.In that light i urge you to bear with me. It's my
pleasure to propose to you a transaction which i feel will be of benefit to
both of us if only you can accept my hands in business and friendship.
My colleagues have assigned me to seek for assistance of a reliable foreigner
through whom we can transfer the sum of US$12,000,000.00 (Twelve Million U.S.
Dollars) which arose from the deliberate over-invoicing on sales of the
federal government properties, which my ministry carried out recently with
the consideration of 10% commission agreement on the total sales value of
US$120,000,000, before the federal government revoked the sales and the
people concern would not like their names mentioned on the matter
following WAR AGAINST COURRUPTION by the federal government now, because of
courruption among the government officals which has affected many including
SENATE PRESIDENT ALDOPHUS WABARA for bribery scandal with the Minister of
education Mr Fabia Osuji so no one is left behinde that is the reason why we
are struggling to have this money.
The sales has been completed and the buyers has been issued with the
Certificate of occupant (COO) before the recvocation on the sales , we are now
left with this US$12,000,000 representing the 10% (our own share) as
agreed.Presently the funds is in the Federal Government's account. The Current
favourable political/economic climate in this country now presented us an
opportunity for this money to be transferred out of the country.
Our contact in the Federal Ministry of Finance has given us a go ahead advice
to begin the process of the remittance, hence we have set in motion
for taken of this transaction, and further action will commence immediately
we hear from you. We have agreed that after the transfer of the money into
your account, you shall be entitled to 20% of the total amount transferred,
while the remaining 75% will be for us and 5% will be for any expenses that
might come up along the line for both parties.
The nature of your business is not particularly relevant for the success of
this transaction. All we require is your willingness to co-operate and
assurance that our own share will be given to us when this money is
transferred into your account. All necessary precautions have been taken to
ensure a risk free transaction on the sides of both parties and it is
believed that the conclusion of this transaction will not last more than 7 working days
upon your acceptance to work with us.
Since we have no knowledge of business, our plan is to invest this money into
Real Estate, Stocks , possiblly invest in some other profitable businesses in
your country based on your advice as our overseer because many of our years
have been spent as civil service, and we may likely resign from government
service to private business after this money is transferred into your account
following the change of wind that is blowing now in the ministry, because the
present Minister of works and housing/ urban development Chief Mrs Mobolaji
Osomo has been sacked out of her office this recently following critism
sorrounding the sales of the government properties.
She sold most of the properties to the government officials and her close
relations leaving average Nigerians out of the sales.
Please note that this business is strictly confidential. This is necessary to
avoid disclosure that may jeopardise the transaction. Finally, i pray you
accept my hands in business and friendship.Also your telephone number is needed for easy and communication. I will oblige you with further information.
Best Regards,
Mr Martins.
