ATTN:
URGENT REQUEST FOR BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
May I first of all honestly express the seriousness
and dutifulness with which I am sharing this
correspondence with you. I implore you to hold it and
all subsequent correspondences regarding this
proposition in strictest confidentiality.
Be allayed of any fears stemming from the genuineness
of the transaction. I know that as we progress, any
existing doubt(s) will be put to rest. Fortunately, I
am in a position to ensure and will actually see to it
that the transaction is completed smoothly and
swiftly.
For your information, I am Mr.Olu Ogunbiyi, a top
Nigerian civil servant with the Federal Ministry of
Aviation (FMA) and a member of the 5-member adhoc
committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria
to review contracts awarded by the previous military
administration between 1995-1999. We, the members of
the committee are interested in the importation of
goods into the country with funds presently floating
in the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) foreign
payments account.
Our request is anchored on our desire and need to
establish a profiting business relationship with you
and your company. We therefore solicit your
partnership to enable us transfer into your designated
account the said funds.
The funds in question, presently floating in the
Federal Ministry of Aviation (FMA) foreign payments
account with the Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) is
as a result of grossly over-invoiced contracts that
were executed for the FMA during the previous military
administration in Nigeria and are presently under
verification. To this effect, the present
administration in Nigeria set up our adhoc committee
to identify, scrutinize and recommend for payment all
valid contracts that have been fully executed. In the
course of our assignment, we have identified a lot of
misappropriated and inflated contract sums, which are
presently floating in the suspense account of the
Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF), ready for payment.
The companies that executed these contracts have been
duly paid. It is part of the over-inflated sum,
totalling US$8,250,000.00 (eight million, two hundred
and fifty thousand United States dollars) that we
intend to transfer into a foreign account.
The members of the committee have therefore mandated
me, as a matter of trust, to seek a foreign partner
into whose account we would transfer the sum of
US$8,250,000.00 (eight million, two hundred and fifty
thousand United States dollars). This is the main
purpose of this correspondence.
On completion of the transfer, we the committee
members have agreed to share the fund thus:
(1) 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local
and foreign expenses that will be incurred in the
course of this transaction;
(2) 25% for the account owner (you) and
(3) 65% for us (the committee members)
It is from the 65% that we intend to commence the
importation of goods into the Nigerian market. Please
note that this transaction is completely safe and
guaranteed since the law under which our committee was
set up has empowered us to disburse all the funds
found to be floating in the Federal Ministry of
Finance (FMF) redundant accounts from 1995 till date.
Also, the present democratic dispensation creates even
a more favorable atmosphere.
We shall immediately commence with all appropriate
arrangements to transfer of the funds as soon as you
send us the following information;
(1) Your company's name and full address
(2) Your banker's name, address, telephone and fax
numbers
(3) The account number and name of would be
beneficiary
The above information is to enable us put up Letters
of Claim and Job Description to the appropriate
ministries for the issuance of the mandatory fund
release approval/recommendations. This way, your
company will become recognized and accepted as the
beneficiary of the contract entitlements before the
final remittance to your nominated account by the
Federal Ministry of Finance (FMF) being the paying
body.
We look forward to doing business with you and solicit
your absolute confidentiality in this transaction.
Please acknowledge receipt of this letter using the
above email address for more details regarding the
transaction.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. Olu Ogunbiyi
