RE: URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED.
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since it is from someone you do not know or have seen before, but based on recommendations, I gathered from a very reliable source here in Nigeria.
I am the Director, Fund Co-ordinator of the Finance Contract Department of Federal Ministry of Health.
The crux of this letter is that the Finance/Contract Department of the Federal Ministry of Health (F.M.O.H.) deliberatly over-inflated the contract values of various contract awarded.
In the course of disbursement, my office was able to track down the sum of US$23.5M as the over invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the F.M.O.H. domicilliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
I and my colleagues now want to quickly tranfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account for possible investment abroad. We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign account because of our status as civil / public servants.
Hence, the need to solicit for your full banking details, to enable us transfer this money into your account.
Upon your acceptance of this proposal, we have also agreed on a sharing ratio:
1. 25% for you as the account owner
2. 65% for I and my colleagues
3. 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally and internationally during the course of this transaction.
Furthermore, we shall be coming over to your country when the money is finally in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as regards to investment of our share. be informed that this business is genuine and 100% safe considering the High Powered Government officials involved.
Send to my E-mail address the following information:
(1). Your company name and address, bank name, address and account number
(2). Your telephone and fax number for effective communication
This is to effect the swift transfer of this fund into your account in less than seven (7) working days. Contact me strictly on my email address, while looking forward to a healthy business and fulfilling relationship with you.
