FROM THE DESK OF: ENGR. MOHAMMED ALIU.
E-Mail: mohammed101@qrio.com
LAGOS - NIGERIA.
ATTN: REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP. - STRICTLY
CONFIDENTIAL.
It is with my profound dignity that I write you this very important and
highly confidential letter. First, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality
in this transaction. This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly
CONFIDENTIAL and "TOP SECRET". Though I know that a transaction of this
magnitude will make any one apprehensive and worried,considering the fact
that we have not met each other before, but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you by
email due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been reliably
informed that it will take at least a minimum of two to three weeks for
a normal post to reach you, so we decided it is best using the e-mail,which
is quicker and also to enable us meet up with the first payment quarter
for the year 2002 which has already begun.
However, let me start by introducing myself properly to you. I am Engr.
MOHAMMED ALIU, a Director General in the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation
(NNPC) and I presently head a seven man tenders board incharge of Contract
Awards and Payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for a
reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction
which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account
requiring maximum CONFIDENCE. I and my colleagues are Top Officials of
the Federal Government Contract Review and Award Panel. Our duties include
Evaluation, Vetting, Approval for payment of Contract jobs done for the
N.N.P.C e.t.c. In order to commence this business we solicit for your
assistance to enable us transfer into your Account the said funds.
The source of this funds is as follows: In the second quarter of 2001
this committee was mandated to review and award contracts to the tune
of US$400 million US dollars to a group of five firms for the supply ,
construction and installation of Oil Pipe lines in Warri and Port Harcourt.
During this process my colleagues and I decided and agreed among ourselves
to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum from US$400 million
to US$428 million United States dollars with the main intention of sharing
the remaining sum of US$28 miilion amongst ourselves.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has since last year approved the sum
of US$428 million for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$400 million
has also been paid to the foreign companies concerned as contract entitlements
for the various contracts done, but since the companies are entiltled
to US$400 million dollars only, we are now left with US$28 million dollars
balance in the account which we intend to disburse amongst ourselves,
but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel,
we cannot do this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the Code of Conduct
Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/or operating foreign accounts
in our names while still in Government service, making it impossible for
us to acquire the money in our names right now. I have therefore, been
delegated as a matter of trust and urgency by my colleagues in the panel
to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the
sum of US$28 million. Hence we are writing you this letter.
My Colleagues and I have agreed that if you or your company can act as
the beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your Company will
retain 20% of the total amount (US$28 million), while 60% will be for
us (OFFICIALS) and the remaining 20% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses
and Taxes incurred both local and foreign in the cause of this transfer.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous.
In return we demand your complete honesty and trust. You must however
NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on the following terms
and conditions as we have stated below;
a) Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence
b) That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality
c) That you will not ask for more share or try to sit on the funds once
it is under your custody, or any form of blackmail.
c) That upon receipt of the funds you will release the funds as instructed
by us after you have removed your share of 20% from the total amount.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we
hope to conclude this transaction seven bank working days from the date
of receipt of the necessary requirements from you . We are looking forward
to doing business with you and solicit your Total Confidentiality in this
transaction. There is no cause for alarm. I give you my word that you
are completely safe in doing business with us. Transactions like this
have been successfully carried out in the past by most Government executives.
Here in my country there is great economic and political disarray and
thus looting and corruption is rampant and the order of the day, thus
explaining why you might have heard stories of how money is been taken
out of Nigeria, this is because everyone is making desperate attempts
to secure his or her future, so that when we retire from active service
we donot languish in poverty. I will explain more to you when I have heard
from you.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above e-mail address.
I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending business transaction
when I have heard from you and also receive your confidential
telephone and fax numbers to enable me fax to you all necessary information
you need to know about our pending business transaction. I will also send
to you my private telephone and fax numbers where you can always reach
me.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated to enable us transfer
the funds under this first quarter of the year 2002.
Thank you and God Bless.
Yours faithfully, Engr. Mohammed Aliu.
N.B. PLEASE BE INFORMED THAT THIS BUSINESS TRANSACTION IS 100% LEGAL AND
COMPLETELY FREE FROM DRUG MONEY OR MONEY LAUNDERING. THIS IS A COMPLETELEGITIMATE
BUSINESS TRANSACTION.
