ATTN:
Dear Friend,
RE:REQUEST FOR URGENT CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP IN RESPECT OF
THE TRANSFER OF $25,500,000.00(TWENTY-FIVE MILLION FIVE HUNDRED AMERICAN
DOLLARS)INTO YOUR ACCOUNT.
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 overinvoicing of various contracts awarded in my
parastatal to certain foreign contractors sometime ago. We as holders of sensitive
positions in our various parastatal, were mandated by the federal government
to scrutinise 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 $33,000,000.00(thirty
three million American 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 foreign partner, as the code of conduct of federal civil service
does not allow us to operate foreign accounts. However, we have suceeded
in transferring some of the monies, precisely US$7.5(Seven million five
Hundred American Dollars) into a foreign account in united State of America,but
unfortunately the provider of the account has severed all forms of communication
with us as he has refused to adhere to our earlier mutual agreement, insisting
that the total amount be paid into his nominated bank account before disbursement
will take effect.We are therefore seeking your assistance based on the balance amount
US$25.5Mwhich 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 of the amount for your assistance and services.
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 office when relationship is fully
established and smooth operation commences. I am at your disposition to
entertain any questions from you in respect of this transaction, so, contact
me immediately through the above email address for further information on
the requirements and procedure. Please note that this is a DEAL and
confidentiality
is of very great importanceb for security reasons.
Please treat with strict confidenlity and utmost urgency.
N.B: Your telephone and fax numbers are needed for easy communication.
Best regards,
DR.Daniel Ibe.
