Hello,
May I request your kind consideration to this proposal of the transfer of the sum of $10,688,000 to an account that would be nominated by you for our mutual benefit.
My name is Kingsley Clement.I have been asked to contact you by Dr.Bashir Gwandu, the Executive Commissioner, Licensing and Consumer Affairs of the Unified Access Service Licencing Unit(UASLU) of Nigeria Communications Commission(NCC).
In November 2006,we offered a Unified Access Service Licence to Mubadala Development Company of the United Arab Emirates.The business portfolio includes the fifth and last spectrum in our Global Service for Mobile(GSM) telecommunications 1800 and 900 MHz bands price of $400 million U.S Dollars.
Under the terms of the licence,Mubadala was required to pay the full licence fee of $400 million on or before the 21st of December including a further fee of $10,688,000 to a consulting firm called Alexio Tele Consults.
We the members of the UASLU that offered the licence to Mubadala agreed with Mubadala that the $10,688,000 was to be a compensation to I and my colleagues for our role in offering Mubadala the spectrum licence. Mubadala accepted the offer and on the 21st December,2006 paid the sum of $400 million into the NCC account while it paid the $10,688,000 into a holden account in a commercial bank for the consulting firm,Alexio Consults.
Though Alexio Consults did not exist at the time of the offer of licence,we have however registered this company locally as required by our laws and have also perfected the strategy to transfer this money as Foreign fund repartriation to a foreign firm.
Our present difficulty is that we are not allowed as serving civil servants to operate foreign accounts.We therefore seek your assistance to present your account as a foreign nominated beneficiary of Alexio Consults so that the bank where the $10.6M is held will transfer this money into your account.
We are proposing 20% for your role in the operation while 5% will be for the expenses we may incure while processing the payment.The rest will be for I and my colleagues. Please let me know your thinking as soon as possible.
Warm regards,
Kingsley Clement.
