Dear Eddie Javor,
I am Dr. Adams R. Onyema Ugochukwu the group Managing Director,
Niger Delta Development Commission. I have been in the Civil service
for over 21 years and my conscientiousness, dilligence and uprightness
explains my promotion as the substantive Chief Executive of this great
organization (NDDC), more so as I report only to the Presidency since
this administration did not appoint a Minister of petroluem.
Also I must emphasize that the sanctity of this investment program
must continue to be preserved in view of the possible consequences of
careless divulgence of this project on my person now that the
anti-graft laws are in force. So while I urge you to make third party
enquiries about my person, I implore you to be meticulously careful.My
primary purpose of writing you is to seek your cooperation and assistance
(on behalf of myself and two other topmanagement officers here), in respect
of overseas transfer of $40.3M USD (that is ready available) in pursuance
of several investment vehicles and property acquisitions but without any
traces to me or any of my colleagues involved.I believe in the appropriateness
of your neutral personality without any previous relationship with myself or
any other member of our team here.
The funds in focus ($40.3M) was generated from an hatched contact
over-invoicing deal. We collaborated (our team) to successfully pull
things through because we are all in positions of authority. As
things stand now, the Fund Release Order for the settlement of the
contract sum have been approved and the main contractors-SnaproggettiS.
A have been paid (the over-invoiced portion of the contract was purported
to be a sub-contract for pipe-line maintainance) even though M/S Snaproggetti
have no information on our machinations.
This is to prevent betrayal or blackmail. However, now that the
funds are readily available in a suspense account with the Central
Bank, we need your understanding to help us claim the funds as the
bonafide beneficiary (foreign contractor).
Please note, that as civil servants we are prohibited by law from
holding foreign bank account. We would definitely facilitate
necessary official approvals and I want to assure you that
this planned fund transfer can be accomplished within 5 working
days. This is guaranteed, as we would pretend to be helping the
foreign contractor friend. For us to proceed we would give you
details when we read from you and for your role performance, I request
that you propose a compensation as a percentage of the total funds
in focus.
This will be considered collectively by our team here. Nonetheless,
it will be our pleasure to cooperate with you on terms that you may
wish. Lastly I must mention that the fund is planned as our
retirement endowment as we expect our retirement with the impending
executive re-shuffling. This fact informed our collective resolve to
hatch this deal as it is our opinion that as soon as the funds
successfully gets to you, a representative of our group will travel
to meet you in respect of contractualization of this investment
relationship.
I am expecting to read from you soon.
Your faithfully
Dr. Adams R. Onyema Ugochukwu
