Dear Friend,
It is with great trust and confidence that I write to make this urgent business proposal to you. I was assigned by two of my colleagues 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 $35,500,000.00 (35 Million US Dollars) pending 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 (FMA& WR) to an expatriate company. The contract has been executed and payment made to the original contractor, remaining the over-invoiced amount of $35.5 million, 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 on 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 $35.5 million, 25% of the total sum will be for you for providing the account while 5% will be set aside for the expenses incurred during the cost of transfer of the fund into your account while 70% 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 to come 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. For security reasons and confidentiality of this transaction, we insist that you not disclose this proposal to anyone.
We are putting 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. Rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free. If this proposal is acceptable to you, indicate your interest by sending an email to us including: your bank name & address, account number, telephone and fax number.
Note: our former President Olusegun Aremu Obasanjo collaborated with the former chairman of the economic financial crime commission, Mallam Nuhun Ribadu to stop the junior ranking officers from transferring funds out of the country. He
sent different publications to many countries in the world as propaganda to discourage government officials from transferring funds into an overseas account to avoid and safe guarding the country's economy.
Apparently, so that other government officials will not benefit from these 'oil windfall ventures', he and his aides have been a culprit. More details about this transaction will be given to you as soon as we receive your
positive response.
Note that the particular nature of your company's business is irrelevant to this transaction. If this transaction interests you, your urgent response is needed.
Yours faithfully,
Elder Bazie Ahamd
