Dear Sir,
It is my warmest pleasure writing you this
confidential business letter with a view that you will
accept my request and give me a positive response
hence time is essence.
I am Dr. Goddy Owode, Chairman of Contract Award
Committee with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture
(FMA). By the virtue of our position and the power
bestowed on us by the government, we carefully and
deliberately over invoiced the value of some contracts
that we award to some foreign contractor to the tune
of Twenty-Two Million five Hundred Thousand United
State Dollars (US$22,500,00).
Now the contracts have been fully executed and
commission and payment have also been made to all the
contracts who have successfully executed their
contracts, the over invoiced sum of (US$22,500,000.00)
is what we want to transfer out of our country for our
own use. Unfortunately, as Civil Servants, we are not
permitted by law to operate foreign accounts, this has
constituted a major hindrance to our success in
transferring this fund out of our country and to this
end, my colleagues have mandated me to look for an
honest and trust worthy foreign partner who will
assist us to provide a foreign account to receive the
fund on our behalf for our mutual benefit. Hence we
are seeking your assistance. My colleagues and I have
agreed that the owner of the account will be
compensated with twenty percent (20%), of the total
sum if you will stand as the beneficiary of the fund.
Eighty percent (80%) for we the officials involved.
Note that we have done our homework very well in our
country, this transaction is safe and guaranteed
100%risk free. To effectively and efficiently get this
fund transferred into the account, you will nominate
for us, you are required to send to us the following
(1) BANK NAME, ADDRESS, PHONE, FAX AND TELEX
NUMBERS.(2)BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND SWIFT CODE
NUMBER.(3)FULL NAME OF ACCOUNT
BENEFICIARY.(4)PERSONAL PHONE AND FAX NUMBER. With the
above information we will immediately seek approval of
the fund on your behalf from the relevant authorities,
including the federal ministry of finance (F.M.F),
which will allocate you and your company foreign
exchange cover $22,500.000.00 for the immediate
release of this fund into your account by the Central
Bank of Nigeria (CBN). We will visit you immediately
we conclude the transaction to collect and invest part
of our share into any viable business you may advice
in your country. We will also buy industrial goods for
a resale here in Nigeria. Please ensure to treat this
matter in strict privacy, as we have to protect our
job as Civil Servants. I awit your urgent response.
Yours Faithfully,
Dr. Goddy Owode
