Subject: urgent reply
Dear .
I am Bello Danjuma, Contract Award Committee Chairman in the National
Electric Power Authority (NEPA) in Nigeria. My colleague have assigned me to
seek for assistance of a reliable foreigner through whom we can transfer the
sum of US$18,100,000.00 (Eighteen Million, one Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) which arose from the deliberate over-inflated contract value
for the General Expansion of the Thermal Stations in Nigeria.
The contract was awarded in 2002 during This Present administration,the
Obasanjo's led democratically elected government regime to an expatriate
firm with the consideration of 10% commission agreement on the total
contract value of US$180,1000.000. The contract has been awarded and the
contractor has long been paid, we left with this US$18,100,000.00 being our
share that is remaining in the Federal Government Account. The current
avorable political/economic climate in the country now presented an
opportunity for this money to be transferred out of the country.
Our contact in the Federal Ministry of Finance have given us a go ahead
advice to begin the process of the remittance, hence we have set in motion
the machinery for the take off of this transaction and further action will
commence immediately we hear from you.We have agreed that the transfer of
the money into your account, you shall be entitled to 30% of the total
amount transferred, while the remaining 65% will be for us. We decided to
give you this percentage in order to motivate you and also to let you feel
satisfied at the end of this transaction. While 5% is mapped out for any
expenses that is incured in this transaction by both parties will be
refunded back from the 5%.
The nature of your business is not particularly relevant for the success of
this transaction. All we require is your willingness to cooperation and
assurance that our own share will be given to us when this money is
transferred into your account.All necessary precautions have been taken to
ensure a no risk situation on the sides of both parties and it is believed
that the conclusion of this transaction will not last more than 8 working
days.However,we are going to retrieve the whole documents that will relate
to this transaction and destroy them after the transfer of the money into
your account to avoid any trace of the money.
Since we have no knowledge of business, our plan is to invest this money
into Real Estate, stock market and we can also invest in some other
profitable business in your country based on your advice because many of our
years were spent as civil servants and, we may likely resign from government
service to private business after this money is transferred into your
account.
Please note that this business is strictly confidential and must not be
disclosed to a third party. This is necessary to avoid disclosure that may
jeopardize the transaction. If this proposal is acceptable to you, or if
you have any question, feel free to contact me on the telephone number
234-8035-23-7070 for oral discussion and also you should also send to me
your private email address , telephone and fax numbers for easy and
confidential communication. I will oblige you with further information if
so required.
Lastly, Remember that this transaction wont exceed 8 banking days, and the
money will be transferred into your bank account. If you follow our
directives.
Indicate your interest.
Best Regards,
Mr Bello Danjuma.
