Dear Wim,
REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF THE TRANSFER OF US$25,500,000.00 (TWENTY FIVE MILLION , FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
It is my great pleasure of contacting you on this business proposal for the benefit of all of us.Note, that i got your contact through a good friend of mine who is working with the Federal Ministry of Foreign Affairs here in Lagos.Although he did not know my real intention of contacting you. But the assurance he gave me about you of being reliable ,capable and trustworthy to do business with gives me the courage to contact you in this transaction which i beleive you will not betray us on the trust we want to bestow on you after the successful completion of this transaction> and the fund paid to you by CBN as a contractor of the fund you.
I, on behalf of my other colleagues from different Federal Government
of Nigeria owned parastatals decided to solicit your assistance as regards
the transfer of the above stated amount into your bank account. This fund
arose from the Over-invoicing of various contracts awarded in my parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago.
We as holders of sensitive positions in our various parastatals, were mandated by the Federal Government to scrutinize all payments made to foreign contractors, and discovered that some of the contracts they executed were grossly over invoiced, either by omission or commission. Also we discovered that the sum of US$33,000.000.00 (Thirty Three Million United States dollars only) was lying in a suspense account, although the foreign contractors were fully paid their entitlements after executing the said contracts. We all agreed that the over-invoiced amount be transferred
into a bank account provided by a reliable, capable and trustworthy foreign partner, as the code of conduct of Federal Civil Service does not allow us to operate foreign accounts.
However, we have succeeded in transferring some of the monies.Precisely
US$ 7,500,000.(Seven Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) into a foreign account in Rio Piedras, PR Puerto Rico (South America), but unfortunately the provider of the account has severed all forms of communication with us as she has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement, insisting that the total amount be paid into her nominated bank account before disbursement will take effect.
We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount of US$25,500,000.00 million which can be speedily processed and fully
remitted into your nominated bank account. On successful remittance of the funds into your account, you will be compensated with 20% of the amount for your assistance and services. While the balance shall be for me and my
colleagues which we intend to invest part thereof , into any viable business
venture as you may advise in your country.
This transaction is closely knitted and in view of our sensitive positions we cannot afford a slip. I assure you that this transaction is 100% risk free. We will avail you with our identities as regards our respective offices when relationship is fully established and smooth operation commences.
Please, if this proposal is acceptable to you while sending your reply ask any question and I will obliged you with more details on this transaction.
So contact me immediately through my private/ confidential Email Address: madum@voila.fr
Please note that the officials involved in this mutual and trusted transaction are men and woman of high integrities and confidentiality is of very great importance for security reasons.
Please treat with strict confidentiality and utmost urgency.
Yours truly,
Dr Madu Michelle Oji
