Dear Sir.
This letter might come to you as a surprise; however, there is no
need to worry, as we are using the only secured and confidential
medium available to seek for foreign assistance/partnership in a
business deal. What is more important is that the mentioned
transaction will prove to be of mutual benefit to both parties
involved. My name is Reginald Okoh (Mr.) a member of the Five-man
Panel set up to locate
and pay outstanding foreign CONTRACTORS debt of Nigeria, We are
vested with the authority to appraise and approve Settlement according
to the priority of Nigeria Government.
I offer you a further explanation of the business deal: – A foreign
engineer, Mr. Peter Barrowcliffe (A Canadian) and a Gold Merchant
contractor with the Government of Nigeria, until his death years last
year in a ghastly Plane crash, has executed a project, valued at $25.5
million (Twenty-Five Million, Five Hundred United States Dollars). The
project has since been implemented and commissioned, and the
contractual sum and all entitlement have been approved for payment to
Mr .Peter Barrowcliffe before his sudden death. The Public Procurement
and Asset Disposal Board (PPADB) unquestionably expects this sum to be
claimed by any of the late Contractor (Peter Barrowcliffe) available
foreign next of kin, or alternatively return to the funds to the
Government treasury as unclaimed funds.
All efforts have been made by (PPADB) to contact any of the deceased
family members or, indeed, the relatives, but these have proved
unsuccessful. Since there exists a likeable possibility that we will
not be able to locate any of the deceased next of kin , hence we are
contacting you for this purpose to benefit all parties involved and to
prevent the liquidation of the funds into the Nigeria Government
Treasury. our committee lead by the Executive chairman, Mr. Dele Ojo
have decided to declare the fund ‘Un-claimable’, and arranged for
the money to be subsequently placed in the Government treasury.
In order to avert such negative development, myself and my colleague
in the committee, are now seeking your permission to have you stand as
late, Mr. Peter Barrowcliffe next of kin or Business Partner, since
there is no living relative nor person based on our findings so that
the fund of $25.5million US dollars could be subsequently transferred
and paid into your bank account as the beneficiary next of kin or
appointed
beneficiary.
All necessary documents and required proves are to be provided and
authenticated by us, as soon as you decide to enter the transaction
and your share (%) will be discussed. You are not sending any money
upfront or any financial obligation over these claims. We have taken
loan to take care of any expense. Yours is to receive the funds only.
If you find this proposal acceptable and wish to take advantage of
the trust, we hope to bestow on you and your company, kindly respond
to this message, providing your most confidential telephone and fax
number, so that I can forward to you relevant details of this
transaction. Though we are trying to make a better future for
ourselves and our families, considering the poor standard of living in
Africa , we also wish for you to see the proposal as our own means to
invest part of the fund in your country. As soon as you indicate your
willingness to assist me, I will furnish you with my direct telephone
and my international passport.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated co-operation,
Reginald Okoh.
