Dear Sir, It is my warmest pleasure writing you this business letter with a view that you will accept my request and give me a positive response hence time is essence. I am Douglas Obioha, Chairman of the contract award and monitoring committee with the federal ministry of agriculture Nigeria. 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 contractors to the tune of twenty two million, five hundred thousand united state dollars (US$22,500.000.00). Now the contracts have been fully executed and commission and payments are about to be made to all the contractors who have successfully executed their contracts, the over invoiced sum of $22.5M is what we want to transfer out of our country for our own benefit. Unfortunately, as civil servants, we are not permitted by law to operate offshore accounts, this has constituted a major hindrance to our plan in transferring this fund out of our country and to this end, my colleagues have mandated me to look for an honest and trustworthy foreign partner who will as sist us to provide offshore 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 (20%) of the total sum for providing account, 80% for me and my colleagues. Note that we have done our homework very well in our country, this transaction is safe and guaranteed 100% risk free. If you are interested please send down to us account information, so that we will start approval process of the fund on your behalf from the relevant authorities, including the federal ministry of finance, 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. We will visit you immediately we conclude the transaction to collect and invest part of the 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 await your urgent response.
Regards, Douglas Obioha N.B (If you have received this email in error, please accept my apology. If you no longer wish to receive email from me, please do not reply. Your request will be honored).
