Subject: THE PROBLEM WITH YOUR FUND
FROM THE DESK OF
DR. OTUNBA BADMUS
FBN DIRECTOR WIRE/TELEX DEPARTMENT
FEDERAL BANK OF NIGERIA
(F.B.N).
DEAR CLIENT/CONTRACTOR
AFTER A SERIOUS THOUGHT, I DECIDED TO REACH YOU DIRECTLY AND PERSONALLY
BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING AGAINST YOU, BUT YOUR NIGERIAN PARTNERS.
I AM THE DIRECTOR OF WIRE TRANSFER/TELEX DEPARTMENT OF THE FEDERAL BANK OF
NIGERIA, SOME TIME IN THE PAST YOUR NIGERIAN PARTNERS APPROACHED ME THROUGH
A FRIEND OF MINE WHO WORKS WITH ONE OF THE MINISTRIES HERE AND REQUESTED
THAT I ASSIST THEM CONCLUDE A MONEY TRANSFER DEAL.
ACCORDING TO THEM, THEY WANTED TO USE THIS STRATEGY TO TRANSFER A HUGE
AMOUNT OF US DOLLARS WHICH THEY ACCUMULATED THROUGH INFLATED CONTRACT AWARDS
AND THE MONEY HAS BEEN FLOATING IN THE CBN SINCE THE ORIGINAL CONTRACTORS
HAS BEEN PAID SO THEY WANTED TO USE YOUR ACCOUNT TO TRANSFER THE SURPLUS OUT
OF NIGERIA. WE AGREED THAT ONCE I DO THIS, THEY WOULD GIVE ME US $100,000.00
AND GIVE ME ANOTHER US100, 000.00 WHEN I RELEASED THE FUND TO YOUR
ACCOUNT.WHEN THEY SAW THAT I HAVE DONE THAT AND YOUR NAME HAS BEEN APPROVED
AMONG THE LIST OF THOSE TO BE PAID, INSTEAD OF GIVING ME THE AGREED DEPOSIT
OF US$100,000.00, THEY STARTED AVOIDING ME AND RESORTED TO THREATS.
I IMMEDIATELY DELETED THE TRANSFER CODE OF THE FUND, WHICH IS ONLY KNOWN TO
ME BECAUSE OF MY POSITION, AND RELEASE OTHER CONTRACTORS FUND WITHOUT YOURS.
THEY BECAME ANGRY THE MORE WHEN THEY SAW THAT THEIR THREAT DID NOT WORK,AND
STARTED BRIBING OTHER OFFICIALS TO GET ANOTHER APPROVAL TO TRANSFER THE
MONEY TO YOU WITHOUT SUCCESS.
APPROVALS ARE FREE, IS IT NOT FUNNY THAT ACONTRACTOR IS BEING ASKED TO PAY
FOR APPROVAL WHILE HIS MILLIONS IS HERE WITH US? I AM 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE DELAY AND OBSTRUCTIONS BECAUSE OF THEIR BREACH OF CONTRACT. IF YOU DOUBT
WHAT I HAVE JUST TOLD YOU, PAY ANY AMOUNT THEY WILL ASK YOU TO PAY NOW,
AFTER A SHORT TIME THEY WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER REASON TO PAY AGAIN AND IT
GOES ON AND ON. NOW IF YOU WANT US TO WORK TOGETHER, THESE ARE MY
CONDITIONS.
I. I WILL HAVE 40% OF THE MONEY BECAUSE IT IS ONLY THE TWO OF US LEFT FOR
NOW.
II. YOU WILL ASSIST MY SON TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT IN YOUR COUNTRY OR ANY OTHER
PLACE OF MY CHOICE WHERE I WILL PAY IN MY OWN SHARE.
III AS YOU HAVE SEEN, IT WILL BE USELESS AND MERE WASTE OF MONEY IF YOU
CONTINUE WITH ANY OTHER PERSON, SO WE WILL CONCLUDE THE TRANSACTION WITH
UTMOST SECRECY
IF THESE CONDITIONS ARE ACCEPTABLE TO YOU, CONTACT ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO
LET US FINALISE SO THAT I WILL FAX TO YOU OUR OFFICIAL KTT WIRE TRANSFER
FORM TO COMPLETE AND I WILL RELEASE THE MONEY TO YOUR ACCOUNT. BUT IF YOU
ARE NOT INTERESTED, I ADVICE YOU TO FORGET THE FUND AS IT WILL BE
TRANSFERRED INTO OUR CONSOLIDATED NATIONAL RESERVE.
I WANT YOU TO REALIZE THAT YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF ALONE DUE
TO THE SENSITIVITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY NATURE OF THIS TRANSACTION
BEST REGARDS.
