Subject: Your Attention Please......
Dear Friend
It is with trust and confidence that i write to make this urgent
business proposal to you. I was assigned by two of my colleague to
seek for a foreign partner who will assist us in providing a
convenient foreign account in any designated bank abroad for the
transfer of Fifty two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
only pending on our arrival in your country for utilization and
disbursement with the owner of the account.
This amount results from a deliberate inflation of the value of a
contract awarded by our ministry, the Federal Ministry of Agriculture
(F.M.A)to an expatriate company.the contract has been executed and
payment made to the original contractor, remaining the over-invoiced
amount of Fifty two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
only, which we want to transfer the funds out the country in our
favour for disbursement among ourselves. The transfer of this money
can only be possible with the help of a foreigner who will be
presented as the beneficiary of the fund.
As government officials, we are not allowed to operate foreign
accounts, and this is the reason why we decided to contact you. We
have agreed that if you/your company can act as the beneficiary of
this fund (Fifty two million seven hundred and fifty thousand dollars
only)15% of the total sum will be for you for providing the account
while 85% will be reserved for us.
We hereby solicit for your assistance in providing a convenient
account number in a designated bank abroad where this fund would be
transferred. We intend coming over there on the completion of this
transfer to secure our own share of the money.
Please note that we have been careful and have made all arrangements
towards the success and smooth transfer of the fund to your account
before you. For security reasons and confidentiality of this
transaction, we demand that you should not expose this proposal and
the entire transaction to anybody.
We are putting so much trust in you with the hope that you would not
betray us or sit on this money when it is finally transferred into
your account. Be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free.
If this proposal is acceptable to you,indicate your interest by
sending a email to us including your bank name & address, account
number,telephone number.
Note: our president Muhammadu Buhari collaborated with Ibrahim Magu
as the new EFCC chairman, Economic Financial Crime Commission,
Mr.Ibrahim Magu to stop the junior ranks officers from transferring
funds out of the country. He sent different Cublication to many
countries in the world as propaganda to discourage all government
Officials from transferring funds into an overseas account to avoid
and save guides the countries economy.
Apparently, so that other government officials will not benefits from
these( oil windfalls venture) where he has been a culprit alone with
his aides. More details about this transaction will be given to you as
soon as we receive your positive respond.
Note that the particular nature of your company’s business is
irrelevant to this transaction. if this transaction interests you,
your urgent response will be appreciated.
Yours faithfully,
Kenneth Obiora
