Subject: ASSESSMENT FUND
Sir/Madam,
PROPETRY RATING/ASSESSMENT FUND
In view of the current 60% debt relief granted to the Federal Republic of
Nigeria by the Paris Club of Creditor Nations, i write you this Proposal for
an urgent business initiative.
Sir/Madam, before i proceed i will first of all want to introduce myself
to you as a partner and friend which i am very optimistic of that we would
become after the execution of this business initiative which i am about to
introduce to you. I am Al Hassan Salisu, the Secretary of the Special
Internal Debt Clearing & Management Commission (SIDCC) here in NIgeria. This
Commission is saddled with the responsibility of paying up all the internal
debt that the country is oweing its foreign creditors who executed one
contract or the other here in Nigeria.
Owning to the 60% debt relief that was granted my country by the Paris
Club out of the $30 billion USD the country originally owed. This provided
the country with a relief of $18 billion which led to the setting up this
commission to utilise this fund to clear its Internal Debts owed foreign
contractors. Additionally, the present increase in the price of Crude Oil
in the International Market has also helped in this regard.
Now in the course of our carrying out enquiries on foreign contractors
that we are to pay, a notice was brought forward to my collegues and i on a
contract awarded to a foreign firm to carry out "PROPERTY RATING ASSESSMENT"
for the purpose of taxation in the country in 1995 by the then Military
regime of Late General Sani Abacha. After several attempt made to contact
this firm to come forward and put up a claim for its payment there was no
response and with the amount involed in the contract sum, which is "FOUR
MILLION SEVEN HUNDRED AND FOURTEEN THOUSAND AMERICAN DOLLARS ($4,714,000)"
we decided to look for a foreign partner to come forward and put up a claim
so that we can pay this fund to him as if he was the original executor of
the contract,and later arrange for our share.
This is why i decided to contact you to assist us in achieving this
objectives. I will want you to know that there is no risk involed in this
deal since all the key members of the commision is aware of it. all we want
you to do is indicate in your reply to this mail that you can assist us so
that we can then work out the percentage that would be acrued to you for
your assistance.
In anticipation of your reply i would still reiterate that there would be
no risk involed from you angle in the course of executing this deal.
Thank You,
Yours Faithful,
AL Hassan Salisu.
N.B: DO TAKE NOTE THAT IN CARRYING OUT THIS TRANSACTION YOUR APPEARANCE HERE
IN NIGERIA FOR THE CLAIMS IS NOT A MUST. ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS INDICATE
YOUR INTEREST AND LEAVE THE REST TO US TO EXECUTE.
