CONFIDENTIAL / URGENT BUSSINESS PROPOSAL.
It is with trust and confidence that i write to reveal
this bussiness proposal to you.I was assigned by two
of
my colleagues to seek for a foreign partner who will
assist
us in providing a convenient account in a designated
bank
overseas for the transfer of
US$28, 600,000.00 [Twenty Eight Million,Six Hundred
Thousand
United States Dollars only],
pending on our arrival in your country for utilization
and disbursement
of the the fund with the owner of the account.
I am the Chairman,Tenders Board of the
Federal Ministry of Petroleum and Mineral
Resources,Lagos,Nigeria.
On 25th January 1998,
our Ministry,The Federal Ministry of Petroleum and
Mineral Resources,
awarded a contract of US$200,000,000.00 [Two Hundred
Million United
States Dollars only], but my colleagues and I being
members of the contract
award commitee over inflated the contract to the tune
of US$ 228,600,000.00
[Two Hundred and Twenty Eight Million, Six Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars only], with the
intention of sharing the remaining balance of US$
28,600.000.00[Twenty
Eight Million, Six Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars only]amongst ourselves.
The contract has been successfully executed and the
actual contractors
have just been paid their US$ 200,000,000.00 only in
full,leaving a balance of
US$28,600,000.00 which we now want to transfer out of
the country in our fevour,
making it look as if the payment for the contract has
been completed,since we as government officials are
not permited by Law to operate Foreign bank accounts
and
secondly,we cannot collect the money from the source
because the contrct was undertaken by a foreign firm.
My colleagues and I have agreed if you/your company
can act as the benefiaciary of this
fund[US$28,600,000.00], we will transfer the money
to your account and you will retain 30% of the fund
for the assistace rendered,while we
retain 60% of the total fund, and the balance of 10%
of the balance will be set aside
for the offsetting of all expenses that might be
incurred by both parties during the fund
transfer process.
we are requesting you to co-operate with us and
provide a convenient account number in a designated
bank where this fund can be safely transferred into
since this is our only
chance of making something for ourselves after many
years of service. we intend to come over there on the
completion of the fund transfer to secure our own
share of the fund.
Please note that we have been careful and worked out
all the modalities for a smooth
transfer of the the fund to your chosen or designated
account before contacting you.we
would therefore not want you to expose this proposal
to anybody for the purpose of security and its
confidential nature. we also believe you will not sit
on our money when it is eventually transferred into
your accounts,as you would get 30% of the fund.
Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100%
risk free, and the nature your bussiness has nothing
to do with it. If this proposal is accepted, please
indicate your interest by contacting us through the
E-mail drmartinsezes@o2.pl
and sending us your Account number in a designated
bank,
Address of the bank,your company name, and your
Tel/fax numbers.On your
acceptance ,more details about this transaction will
be given to you.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Martins Eze.
