Attn: The President/CEO
Dear Sir,
Proposal for Transfer Assistance
I am making this contact with you on behalf of my colleagues and I after
the satisfactory information we gathered from the Nigerian chamber of
commerce and industry.
We are members of the Presidential Contract Review Panel on foreign debt.
We are contacting you as a trustworthy individual,
into whose account we intend to transfer some funds.
Presently, we have in our possession, instrument of payment for US$21.5m
(TWENTY-ONE Million, Five Hundred Thousand U.S. Dollars), This amount
arose from over-invoicing of some supplies and engineering works contracts
which had been financed by the Petroleum Trust Fund. The Contractors have
been paid in full for contracts executed. The fund are therefore free
to be transferred overseas without any risk whatsoever.
Due to the nature of Accrual of these funds, It has to be applied for
by a foreign individual or organisation, and payment can only be made
into a foreign account: Hence this contacts is necessary to accomplish
this deal. We are willing to compensate you with 25% of the amount for
providing the account and all other relevant assistance to enable us accomplish
this, 5% will be used for the reimbursement of all expenses that will
be incurred by both parties during the course of this financial transaction;
the remaining 70% are for my associate and I.
We shall require from you the following urgently, by fax:
1. your name, telephone and fax numbers
2. the name and full address of your organisation or company
3. the complete particulars of the bank account where you wish the funds
to be transferred. This should include the account number, bank address,
telephone fax numbers of the bank.
My colleagues and I have had fruitful discussions with relevant top officials
of both the federal ministry of finance (FMF) and the debt reconciliation
committee (DRC). and they have agreed to co-operate in the transfer. an
application for funds transfer will be made at the appropriate ministries
in favour of you, the beneficiary. Thereafter you will be officially regarded
as having executed the contract for the (P.T.F) for which payments is
being made. this process makes the operation legal according to the laws
of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Please, treat this transaction as strictly confidential,
we are civil servants who would not want our names tarnished, bearing
in mind our positions. Because of cross interference of telephone calls
in Nigeria do ask my security code pciii before speaking to the person
that pick up your call and do not go through the international telephone
operator of (AT&T) when lines are busy at any time in the course of this
transaction. Always dial direct. it is difficult to get telephone access
to Nigeria. so you must persist when the telephone says "subscriber not
available" or the number does not exist"; these responses are always given
when there is no access. thanks for your anticipated co-operation, while
I await your timely response.
Yours faithfully,
Dr Paul Odalo
