SIR,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP.
FIRST, I MUST SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENCE IN THIS TRANSACTION.
THIS IS BY VIRTUE OF ITS NATURE AS BEING UTTERLY CONFIDENTIAL
AND TOP SECRET. YOU HAVE BEEN RECOMMENDED BY AN ASSOCIATE
WHO ASSURED ME IN CONFIDENCE OF YOUR ABILITY AND RELIABILITY
TO PROSECUTE A TRANSACTION OF GREAT MAGNITUDE INVOLVING
A PENDING BUSINESS TRANSACTION REQUIRING MAXIMUM CONFIDENCE.
WE ARE TOP OFFICIALS OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT CONTRACT
REVIEW PANEL WHO ARE INTERESTED IN IMPORTATION OF GOODS INTO
OUR COUNTRY WITH FUNDS WHICH ARE PRESENTLY TRAPPED IN
NIGERIA. IN ORDER TO COMMENCE THIS BUSINESS WE SOLICIT
YOUR ASSISTANCE TO ENABLE US RECIEVE THE SAID TRAPPED
FUNDS ABROAD.
THE SOURCE OF THIS FUND IS AS FOLLOWS : DURING THE
REGIME OF OUR LATE HEAD OF STATE, GEN. SANI ABACHA, THE GOVERNMENT
OFFICIALS SET UP COMPANIES AND AWARDED THEMSELVES CONTRACTS
WHICH WERE GROSSLY OVER- INVOICED IN VARIOUS MINISTRIES. THE
NEW CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT SET UP A CONTRACT REVIEW
PANEL (C.R.P) AND WE HAVE IDENTIFIED A LOT OF INFLATED CONTRACT
FUNDS WHICH ARE PRESENTLY FLOATING IN THE CENTRAL BANK
OF NIGERIA (C.B.N). HOWEVER, DUE TO OUR POSITION AS
CIVIL SERVANTS AND MEMBERS OF THIS PANEL, WE CANNOT ACQUIRE
THIS MONEY IN OUR NAMES. I HAVE THEREFORE, BEEN DELEGATED
AS A MATTER OF TRUST BY MY COLLEAGUES OF THE PANEL TO
LOOK FOR AN OVERSEAS PARTNER INTO WHOSE ACCOUNT THE
SUM OF US$31,000,000.00 (THIRTY ONE MILLION UNITED STATES
DOLLARS) WILL BE PAID BY TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER. HENCE
WE ARE WRITING YOU THIS LETTER.
WE HAVE AGREED TO SHARE THE MONEY THUS: 1. 70% FOR
US (THE OFFICIALS) 2. 20% FOR THE FOREIGN PARTNER (YOU)
3. 10% TO BE USED IN SETTLING TAXATION AND ALL
LOCAL AND FOREIGN EXPENSES.
IT IS FROM THIS 70% THAT WE WISH TO COMMENCE THE IMPORTATION
BUSINESS. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% SAFE AND
WE HOPE THAT THE FUNDS CAN ARRIVE YOUR ACCOUNT IN LATEST
TEN (10) BANKING DAYS FROM THE DATE OF RECIEPT OF THE
FOLLOWING INFORMATION. A SUITABLE NAME AND BANK ACCOUNT
INTO WHICH THE FUNDS CAN BE PAID.
THE ABOVE INFORMATION WILL ENABLE US WRITE LETTERS
OF CLAIM AND JOB DESCRIPTION RESPECTIVELY. THIS WAY WE WILL
USE YOUR COMPANY'S NAME TO APPLY FOR PAYMENTS AND RE-AWARD
THE CONTRACT IN YOUR COMPANY NAME.
WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO DOING BUSINESS WITH YOU AND
SOLICIT YOUR CONFIDENTIALITY IN THIS TRANSACTION.
PLEASE ACKNOWLEDGE RECEIPT OF THIS LETTER USING THE
ABOVE TEL/FAX NUMBER. I WILL BRING YOU INTO THE COMPLETE PICTURE
OF THIS PENDING PROJECT WHEN I HAVE HEARD FROM YOU.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
DR MUSTPHA BELLO.
