Subject: ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.

ATTENTION
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATES.
Dear Sir,
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed properties
in your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and Finance
Allocation of the Federal Ministry of works and Housing in
Nigeria.Considering his very strategic and influential position, he would
want the transaction to be strictly as confidential as possible. He further
want his identity to remain undisclosed at least for now, until the
completion of the transaction. Hence our desire to have an overseas agent. I
have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act as our
overseas agent in order to actualise this transaction.
The deal in brief is that the funds with which to carry out our proposed
investments in your country is presently in a coded account in the Nigerian
{Bank} and we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country or
any safe account outside your country in a convenient Bank Account) that
will be provided by you before we can put the funds into use. For this you
shall be considered to have executed a contract for the ministry. The
contract sum of which shall run into Fifteen Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars {US$15.5Million} of which your share shall be 30% if
you agree to beour overseas agent. Your area of pecialisation does not
matter in this transaction, all that is required of you is a Safe Account
and your willingness to assist us acquire estates in your Country.
As soon as payment is effected and the amount mentioned above is uccessfully
transferred into your account, we intend to use our own share in acquiring
some estates abroad. For this too, you shall serve as our agent. It might
interest you to note that last year, a similar transaction was carried out
with one MR. CHIENCHEN YU of Taiwan but after securing the Payment
approvals, and payment effected, MR.CHIENCHEN YU changed his numbers and
addresses, and was no where to be found on our getting to Taiwan. That was
how we lost US$7.5Million. So this time around, I will be with you before
the remittance is made into your provided account to avoid future occurrence
and allow trust to play a very minimal role until performance is seen.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance or otherwise of this
proposal,through my email address: contactdridrisaliu@msn.com after which we
shall discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction through.
If however, you are not disposed to assist, kindly destroy this letter in
view of the confidentiality of the proposed transaction and interest of
personalities involved. Thank you in anticipation of your co-operation.
Best Regards,
DR IDRIS ALIU.
