Attn: The President/CEO It is my pleasure to contact you for assistance and business co-operation. I know the content of this letter might be surprising to you. But I assure you that every word of it is true. Even though we hardly know each other I believe you can help me. Meanwhile, I got your contact in the World Business Directory.
I am the President of a special task force in charge of the sales of Petroleum products in the Federal Republic of Nigeria in West Africa. My office monitors the sales and lifting of crude oil and petroleum product by foreign dealers. With the co-operation of my assistant and head of the audit committee attached to the task force, I have successfully saved about US$40 million. This money is as a result of allocation of excess crude oil to the foreign dealers, which has been sold but the money is not entered in the financial statement of my task force. This money is now lying unclaimed in the account of the task force, known only to my partners and me involved in the excess allocation. However, the legislators of the new democratic Government of my country have set up a panel to look into the past activities of some government companies and parastatals. We do not want the panel to discover the money we saved. We cannot lodge this money into our private bank account. In my country, public servants are not permitted to operate any account in excess of 500,000 U.S dollars. Now, the idea is to have a foreign partner whom the sum will be transferred to. We have concluded arrangement to transfer this money to your private account, if you permit us to use it. All you have to do is to give us your private address, phone and fax lines and banking particulars. I will send you the details of the transfer and necessary document as soon as you provide them. If you can assist us transfer this money out before the Panel starts work, we will give you 30% of the amount involved. You will keep the remaining sum for us, pending our arrival to your country. We intend to invest 50% of the sum in business. With your knowledge and past experience your advice will be highly needed for the investment. We would want to know the lucrative business areas in your country we can invest on with the 50% of the sum. Don’t worry about any problem in this business. I assure you it is safe and no risk is involved. No other party is aware of the sum from the excess allocation, except my partner and me. However, this transaction should be kept secret and confidential. We await your reply on your participation or not, so that we can contact another person. Time is of great essence to us. For any further information, reach us through this E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] My Kind Regards, Dr. Bright Ezego.
