FROM THE DESK OF
Dr. Gani Johnson M.sc

CONFIDENTIAL
Attention:Good Friend,
It is indeed my pleasure to write you this business request. I am
writing you to solicit your assistance in a business partnership that
could be of mutual benefit to both of us. I hope that you read
thoroughly and response as promptly as possible. Precisely, in the year
2005, the Ministry of Minerals and Energy in Nigeia, where I work as a
Manager of 14 Project Allocation, received presidential irrevocable
circular order requesting the ministry to compile and forward the list
of all past foreign contractors, whose contract payments are pending
since the period of the past government of President Abdusalam Aburbakar
and the present government.
The purpose of this presidential order is that the present Nigeria
elected government will pay foreign contractors all debts owned, and
thus maintaining a good relationship with other foreign government and
non-governmental financial agencies. In light of the above, my partner
and I duty is to compile a list of these contractors. We have decided to
include a company's name with a bill of {USD25.7 Million United State
Dollars} along side other company names and their respective bill for
payments. The {Alliance Mining NG PTY}, which was incorporated for this
operation, also carried out contractual works for the ministries as
well as others.
With the co-operation of top senior partner of mine we are confident
that our claim of {USD25.7Million} shall be granted being for contract
work executed at the Ministry of Minerals and Energy, payment shall then
be transferred upon approval to a safe account that would be provided by
you in other words, if you accept to be our partner then you shall be
considered given the pertinent documentation to certify that your
company had been awarded a contract already executed, for which your
company shall be paid the sum of
USD25.7Million. Please be informed that with the Nigerian government
monetary policy, Government official's employees are not allowed to
operate or to own bank account abroad hence our decision to seek a
foreign partner.
Please note, the legitimacy of this transaction is well pronounced,
which I will personally explain to you by fax or telephone if you agree
to be our partner to determine your true position. I have the authority
and consent of my partner to offer this transaction to you. You will be
highly compensated with a percentage upon mutual agreement by both
parties after a successful completion of this project. Further
information's concerning the transaction shall be forwarded to you upon
your response to this letter.
I can assure you that my partners and I are in a position to make this
payment claim possible, provided you can give us the assurance and
guarantee that our share will be secured. Visualize this opportunity as
an indirect financial resource; also note that your area of
specialization is not a hindrance in the successful execution of this
transaction,endeavour to contact me immediately by my email address
because we will not compromise this transaction with any form of
exposure, as we are still in active civil service.
Please keep this close to your chest as much as possible; we can not
afford any political problems.Thank you and God bless, as I await for a
long term mutually beneficially relationship for both of us.
Yours Faithfully
Dr. Gani Johnson M.sc
(Manager 14 Project Allocation).
