Dear Sir,
It is my great pleasure in writing this letter on behalf of my colleagues
and myself. Your particulars
was given to me by a member of the Nigerian Export Promotion Council
[N.E.P.C.] who was among the Federal Government Delegation to your country
during a trade exhibition. I have decided to seek a confidential cooperation
with you in the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of
all parties and hope you will keep it as top secret because of the nature of
this business, since we are still in active service.
Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a Director,
Project Implementation and with the cooperation of four other top officials,
we have in our possession as overdue payment bills totaling Sixteen
million, five hundred thousand dollars,[$16,500,000,000]which we want to
transfer to abroad with assistance and cooperation of a foreign company
and/or individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such fund.
The amount represented some percentage of the total contract value executed
on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign firm, which we the officials over
invoiced. Though, the actual contract cost have been paid to the original
contractor leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount which we have
in principles gotten the approval to remit by Telegraph Transfer [T.T.] to
any foreign bank account you will provide.
Since the present day Democratically elected Civilian Government of Nigeria
is determined to pay
every foreign Contractor all debts owed by the former Military Government so
as to maintain a good
relationship with Foreign Government and non Government Financial Agencies,
we have decided to
include our bills for approvals with the cooperation of some top officials
of the Federal Ministry of
Finance [F.M.F] and the Central Bank of Nigeria [CBN]. We are seeking your
assistance in providing a good company's account or any other offshore bank
account into which we can remit this money by acting as our main partner and
trustee or acting as the original contractor.
This we can do by swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other
forms of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the payment and
approvals to be secured on behalf of our company. This process is an
internal arrangement with the departments concerned.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that should you be
willing to assist us in
the transaction your share of the money will be 30%, 60% will be for us, and
10% for taxation and
miscellaneous expenses. The business itself is 100% risk free, provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality, also your area as
specialization is not a hindrance to the successful execution of this
transaction, have repose my confidence on you and hope that you will not
disappoint us, Please is important to reply me through this E-mail Address
at (nnpc_contractors@myway.com).
Thanks for your co-operation,
Yours faithfully,
Engr. Tanko Abubaka
Director, Project
Implementation.
