Dear Sir,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL: TRANSFER OF US$26.426M (TWENTY SIX MILLION, FOUR
HUNDRED AND TWENTY SIX THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS) & BUSINESS INVESTMENT
PARTNERSHIP.
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction,
this is by virtue of it's nature as been utterly confidential and
top secret as you were introduced to us in confidence through the
Nigerian/Gambian Chambers of Commerce, Foreign Trade division, during
an official assignment to Banjul.
We are top officials from the Federal Ministry of Works & Housing
(FMW&H), Federal Ministry of Finance and the Presidency, making
up the Contract Review Panel (CRP) set up by the Federal Government
of Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past Military administration.
In the course of our work in the CRP, we discovered this fund which
resulted from grossly over-invoiced contracts which were executed
for the FMW&H during the last administration. The companies that
executed the contract have been duly paid and the contracts commissioned
leaving the sum of US$26.426M floating in the Escrow account of
the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment.
I have therefore been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues
in the Panel to look for an over-seas partner to whom we could transfer
the sum of US$26.426M by Legally subcontracting the contract entitlement
to your company. This is bearing in mind that our civil service
code of conduct forbids us from owning foreign companies or running
foreign accounts while in Government service hence the need for an over-seas
partner.
We have agreed that the funds will be shared thus after it has been
transferred into your account:
(1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary of the
fund.
(2) 65% to us the Government officials (with wish we wish to commence
an importation business in conjunction with you).
(3) 5% has been set aside as an abstract projection for reimbursement
to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred in
the course of this transaction.
All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for the
smooth conclusion of the transaction within ten to fourteen working
days of commencement after receipt of the following information
from you: Your company name, address, company's details and activities,
telephone & fax numbers. These information will enable us make applications
and lodge claims to the concerned Ministries & agencies in favour
of your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction
is entirely based on trust as the Solar Bank Draft or Certified
Cheque draw able in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent
Bankers in America is going to be made in your name.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter by using this email address.
Yours faithfully,
Engr. Usman Musa.
NB. Bank Account details not necessary, as preferred mode of payment is by
draft or cheque.
