Subject: INVESTMENT ASSISTANCE
Dear Friend,
This is important, and requires your immediate attention! First, I
must solicit your strictest confidence in the transaction.
To intimate you further, we are top officials of the new civilian
administration Committee on Foreign and Local Contract Payment, who
are interested in the importation of goods into our country with funds
which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to actualize this
dream, we seek your assistance to transfer the said-trapped fund into
an interest bearing account which you have absolute control over in
your country or a third country other than Nigeria.
The new civilian administration of Bola Ahmed Tinubu (gcfr) set-up
this committee specifically to review all contracts/oil licenses to
determine their propriety and relevance in the light of the country’s
current economic and political realities. We have identified a lot of
inflated contract funds which are currently floating in our Apex Bank.
At this moment we have worked out modalities within ourselves and some
acquaintances at the Apex Bank to divert the sum of US$93,700,000.00
(Ninety three million, seven hundred thousand United States Dollars)
only, for our personal use.
However, by virtue of our positions as Civil Servants and members of
the Contract Review Panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names,
consequently, I was delegated by my colleagues as a matter of trust to
look for an overseas partner into whose account we can transfer this
sum of money, hence this letter to you. Furthermore, my colleagues and
I are willing to transfer the total sum of US$93,700,000.00 (Ninety
three million, seven hundred thousand United States Dollars) into your
account for disbursement. Your areas of specialization is not a
hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction and the
account required for this project can either be PERSONAL, COMPANY or
an OFFSHORE account you have total control over. Needless to say, the
trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have
agreed to offer you 20% of this sum while 10% shall be set aside for
incidental expenses between the parties in the course of this
transaction. You must however note that this transaction is subject to
the following terms and conditions:-
(a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence
(b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality.
(c) That the funds would be transferred to an account where you have
absolute control over.
(d) That one of our representatives will be with you in your country
to represent our interest. This however depends on your response to
conditions A and C above.
Modalities have been worked out to the highest level for the immediate
transfer of the funds within 21 working days subject to your
satisfaction of the above stated terms. Our assurance is that your
role is RISK FREE. To accord this transaction the legality it deserves
and for mutual security of the funds, the whole approval procedures
will be officially and legally processed with your name or the name of
any company you may nominate as the bonafide beneficiary.
Once more, I want you to understand that having put over 23 years in
the civil service of my country, I am averse to having my image and
career dented. This matter should be treated with utmost secrecy and
urgency.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include
this transfer in this batch as payments to foreign contractors is
usually carried out on a quarterly basis. Contact me on my E-mail
