Dear Partner,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP ? STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
IF YOU ARE INTERESTED, KINDLY FURNISH ME WITH YOUR FULL NAMES, TEL/FAX NUMBERS(DIRECT
LINES TO YOU) SO AS TO ENABLE US COMMENCE ON TIME.
Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transaction.
This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and ?TOP SECRET.?
Though I know that a transaction of this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive
and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of the
day. We have decided to contact you first by your email due to the urgency
of this transaction, as we have been reliably informed that it will take
at least two to three weeks for a normal post to reach you. So we decided
it is best using the email.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Dr Ibrahim
Hameed, a director general in the Petroleum Ministry and I head a Six-man
tender board in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals. I came
to know of you in my search for a reliable and reputable person to handle
a very confidential business transaction which involves the transfer of
a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum confidence. I
and my colleagues are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review
and Award Panel. Our duties include evaluation, vetting, approval for payment
of contract jobs done for the Petroleum Ministry, etc. In order to commence
this business, we solicit for your assistance to enable us transfer into
your account the said funds.
The source of this funds is as follows: During the last military regime
here in Nigeria, this committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00
(Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) to five construction firms
on behalf of the Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and installation
of Oil Pipeline from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this process my colleagues
and I decided amongst ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract
sum to US$436,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty Six Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) with the main intention of sharing the remaining
sum of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United
States Dollars) amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has
since approved the sum of US$436,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty Six
Million, Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) for us as the contract
sum, and the sum of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States
Dollars) has also been paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract
entitlements for the contract done, but since each of the companies is entitled
to US$80,000,000.00 only, we are now left with US$36,500,000.00 balance
in the account which we intend to transfer abroad into a safe and reliable
account to be disbursed amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our positions
as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves,
as we are prohibited by the ?Code of Conduct Bureau? (Civil Service Laws)
from opening / operating foreign accounts in our names, making it impossible
for us to acquire the money in our names. I have, therefore, been mandated
as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel to look for an overseas
partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$36,500,000.00
(Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), hence
we are writing you this letter.
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the beneficiary
of this funds on our behalf, you or your company will retain 20% of the
total amount of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars), while 70% will be for us (members of this panel)
and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred
(both local and foreign) in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say,
the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand
your complete honesty and trust. You must however, NOTE that this transaction
will be strictly based on the following terms and conditions as we have
stated below, as we have heard confirmed cases of business associates running
away with funds kept in their custody when it finally arrive their accounts.
A very good and recent example is the one of Mr. Peter Hopwood, the President
of Mileage Trading and Investment Company at Number 121, West 55th Street,
21st Floor, New York 10022, and former Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick
Opia), who we were reliably informed that after the agreement between both
partners in which he was to take 15% of the money, while the remaining 85%
for Nigerian Officials. With all the required documents signed, the money
was duly transferred into his account, only to be disappointed on their
arrival in New York and were informed that Mr. Peter Hopwood was no longer
on that address, while his telephone and fax numbers have been re-allocated
to somebody else. This was how they lost US$18.5 Million to Mr. Hopwood.
This is a very recent story here in my country and everybody is aware of
this, some of the officials decided to cry out and face the law, because
they felt they had lost too much to a stranger, while the Chairman of OMPADEC
(Mr. Patrick Opia) is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we are taking
all precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in
our case. This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based
completely on the following:
(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our share
(70%) on demand after you have removed your 20% and all expenses have been
settled.
(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about yourself
to put our minds at rest.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope
to conclude the business in Seven Bank working days from the date of receipt
of the necessary information and requirement from you.
Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I
will bring you into the complete picture of the transaction when I have
heard from you.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already behind
schedule for this financial quarter.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Ibrahim Hameed.
N.B.: Please, be reminded that this business transaction is 100% legal and
risk free.And you can reach me on any of this numbers.
