DEAR SIR,
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
WE ARE MEMBERS OF A GOVERNMENT ESTABLISHMENT IN NIGERIA. WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY SECURED
FOR OURSELVES THE SUM OF TWENTY-ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES
DOLLARS (US$21.5M).
MY COLLEAGUES AND I DURING THE COURSE OF OUR OFFICIAL ASSIGNMENT AWARDED SERIES OF
CONTRACTS TO SOME FIRMS ON AGREED 5% COMMISSION OR PROFIT ON THEIR CONTRACT SUM.
HOWEVER THE 5% COMMISSION WHICH AMOUNTED TO US$21.5M AFTER AUDIT REPORT IS LEFT
UNCLAIMED IN THE FLOATING ACCOUNT OF MY ESTABLISHMENT SINCE 1999. THE CONTRACTORS HAVE
EXECUTED THEIR PROJECT AS SPECIFIED IN THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT AND WERE PAID
ACCORDINGLY.
RECENTLY, THE NEW CIVILIAN GOVERNMENT STARTED PAYING OFF ALL THE INDEBTED FOREIGN
CONTRACTORS TO MY COMPANY THAT EXECUTED CONTRACTS AS FAR BACK AS 1990 - 2002 IN ORDER
TO LAUNDER A GOOD IMAGE OF THEIR GOVERNMENT BEFORE THE UNITED NATION. CONSEQUENT TO
THISDEVELOPMENT, WE CONSIDER THIS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CARRY OUT THE TRANSFER
OF THESE FUNDS TO A SAFE ACCOUNT OVERSEAS WHICH WE BELIEVE YOU WILL BE IN A POSITION
TO HELP US IN TRANSFERRING THESE FUNDS [US$21.5M] INTO YOUR NOMINATED ACCOUNT
OVERSEAS, THAT IS OUTSIDE MY COUNTRY.
IT HAS BEEN AGREED THAT THE OWNER OF THE ACCOUNT WILL BE COMPENSATED WITH 20% OF THE
REMITTED FUNDS, WHILE WE KEEP 70%, AND 10% WILL BE SET ASIDE TO OFFSET EXPENSES AND
PAY THE NECESSARY TAXES. ALL MODALITIES OF THIS TRANSACTION HAVE BEEN WORKED OUT AND
ONCE STARTED WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN 10 WORKING DAYS AT THE MAXIMUM WITH YOUR FULL
SUPPORT. THIS TRANSACTION IS 100% RISK FREE.
IF THIS PROPOSAL SATISFIES YOU, PLEASE REACH US ONLY BY FAX OR PHONE, FOR MORE
INFORMATION. IT MIGHT BE DIFFICULT TO GET THROUGH TO ME, BECAUSE OF POOR
TELECOMMUNICATION SYSTEM HERE IN MY COUNTRY. PLEASE KEEP TRYING, YOU WILL DEFINITELY
GET THROUGH. ALTERNATIVELY YOU CAN E-MAIL ME ON THE ABOVE E-MAIL ADDRESS. PLEASE TREAT
AS URGENT AND VERY CONFIDENTIAL.
YOURS FAITHFULLY,
DR.OLABODE JOHNSON
NB:
FOR CONFIDENTIAL REASONS AND DUE TO THE POOR COMMUNICATION SYSTEM IN MY COUNTRY, MOST
OFTEN FOREIGN CALLS COULD BE DIVERTED TO THE WRONG PERSON. SO FOR YOU TO BE VERY SURE
YOU ARE RIGHTLY SPEAKING WITH ME, IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT WHEN YOU CALL AND ASK FOR
THE ME, THE MOMENT I PICK UP THE PHONE, YOU SHOULD ASK ME WHAT IS THE "CODE WORD" AND
MY ANSWER MUST BE "BORN GREAT" BEFORE WE PROCEED DISCUSSIONS, BUT IF I DO NOT SAY
"BORN GREAT" THAT MEANS YOU ARE NOT SPEAKING WITH ME JUST DISCONNECT THE LINE AND CALL
ME BACK TILL I GIVE YOU THE CODE WORD.
