Dear Sir, Business Proposal We represent the members of the Tender Board of the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing, Abuja. We awarded the contract for the provision of Street Lights in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria, Abuja in 1999. The contract was over-invoiced to the tune of $345 million. The contract was actually completed at the cost of $300 million. However, the balance $45 million is presently in a suspense account in the Central Bank of Nigeria. We hope to transfer this amount to a trusted foreign Partner, who is willing to assist us to get the money out of Nigeria to an account abroad. It is relevant to state that we are Civil Servants in the Ministry and it is unlawful for us to have such a huge amount of money in our Bank Account in Nigeria; hence we are seeking for a trusted foreign partner overseas, with a foreign account that can help us to get this money out of Nigeria. It is a known fact that there are lots of stories about scam business in Nigeria. This could be seen in a lot of business letters and e-mail and fax messages they send to people abroad. This is rather unfortunate. The Government of Nigeria is really doing its best to eliminate the scam business. However this, we have to assure you that ours is real and genuine. It is risk-free. In addition, we do not want to sound too greedy in this transaction, therefore we expect you to use your discretion to decide the sharing of the money based on percentages. In view of the above, we would be glad if you could give us your co- operation, by consenting to our desires. We look forward to your response as soon as possible. Yours truly, Dr.Lateef Bello Director of Operations Federal Ministry of Works and Housing
