ATTN:
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATE
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates
or landed properties in your country on behalf of the
Director of Contract and Finance Allocations of the
Federal Ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria.
Considering his very strategic and influencial
position, he want the transaction to be strictly confidential as
possible. He further wants his identity to remain
undisclosed at least for now, until the completion of
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
actualize this transaction.
The deal in brief is that the funds with which we
intend to carry out our proposed investments in your
country is presently in a coded account at the Nigeria
Apex bank (Central Bank of Nigeria) and we need your
assistance to transfer the funds to your country in a
convinient bank account that will be provided by you
before we can put the funds into use in your country.
For this, you shall be considered to have executed a
contract for the federal ministry of Works and Housing in Nigeria for
which payment should be effected to you by Ministry, The contract
sum of which shall run into US$28.5Million (Twenty
Eight Million, Five Hundred Dollars) of which your
share shall be 20% if you agree to be our overseas
agent.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is
successfully transfered into your acoount, we intend
to use our own share in aquiring some estates and
setting up trust acoounts abroad. For this too you
shall also serve as our agent.
In the light of this, I would like you to forward to
me the following information's:
1. Your company name and address if any.
2. Your personal fax number.
3. Your personal telephone number for easy
communication.
You are requested to communicate your accpetance of
this proposal through this email. After which we shall
discuss in details the modalities for seeing this
transaction through.
Your quick response will be highly appreciate. Thank
you in anticipation of your cooperation.Telephone; 234-802-721-8092
Yours faithfully,
Doris John
