Dear Sir,
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained
in this letter.
Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must first solicit
you to treat with the utmost confidentiality, as this is required for
its success.
My colleagues and I are senior officials of the Federal Government of
Nigeria’s Contracts Review Panel who are interested in diverting some
funds that are presently floating in the accounts of the Central Bank
of Nigeria. In order to commence this transaction, we solicit for your
assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said floating
funds. We are determined to conclude the transfer before the end of
this quarter of 2001.
The source of the funds are as follows: During the last military regime
in Nigeria, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves
contracts that were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries and
parastatals. The present civilian government set up the Contract Review
Panel, which has the mandate to use the instruments of payments made
available to it by the decree setting up the panel, to review these
contracts and if necessary pay those who are being owed outstanding
amounts.
My colleagues and I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds
which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for
disbursement and would like to divert some of it for our own purposes.
However, by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of
this panel, we cannot acquire these funds in our names or in the names
of companies that are based in Nigeria. I have therefore been mandated,
as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel, to look for a
reliable overseas partner into whose account we can transfer the sum of
U.S.$8,500,000.00 (eight million, five hundred thousand U.S. dollars).
That is why I am writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account,
if you agree with our proposition as follows;
(i) 25% to the account owner (you).
(ii) 65% for us (the panel officials).
(iii) 10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us)
incidental to the actualisation of this project.
We wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in foreign
stock markets and other business till we are ready and able to have
access to them without raising any eyebrows here at home. Please note
that this transaction is 100% safe and risk-free. We intend to effect
the transfer within fourteen (7) banking days from the date of receipt
of the following information through the telephone/fax number stated above:
Your bank's name, company’s name, address and telephone and fax numbers
and the account number into which the funds should be paid.
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job
description respectively. This way, we will use your company’s name to
apply for the payment and backdate the award of the contract to your
company. We are looking forward to doing this transaction with you
and we solicit for your utmost confidentiality in this transaction.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above
telephone/fax number. I will bring you into a more detailed picture of
this transaction when I hear from you.
Best regards,
Mr.Nuru Samanja
