Subject: AN URGENT BUSINESS
Dear Sir/Madam,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP - STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL.
Firstly, 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 anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all
will be well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you first
by your email due to the urgency of this transaction, as we have been
reliably informed that it will take at least two to three weeks for a
normal post to reach you. So we decided it is best using the email bearing
in mind that it is not the very best for a transaction of this
magnitude.
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am MR
MONAHANN.K.ISHRRIFET a senior official in the Nigerian National
Petroluem Corporation and I head a Three-man tender board in charge of
Contracts 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 Panel. Our duties
include evaluation,vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done
for the NNPC, etc. 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: During the last military regime
here in Nigeria, this committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00
(Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) to five construction firms
on behalf of the Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and
installation of Oil Pipeline from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this
process my colleagues and I decided amongst ourselves to deliberately
over-inflate the total contract sum to US$431,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and
Thirty One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with the
main intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$31,500, 000.00
(Thirty One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) amongst
ourselves.
The Federal Government of Nigeria has since approved the sum of
US$431,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty One Million, Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) for us as the contract sum, and the sum
of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) has
also been paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract
entitlements for the contract done, but since each of the companies is
entitled toUS$80,000,000.00 only, we are now left with S$31 ,500,000.00
balance in the account which we intend to transfer abroad into a safe
and reliable account to be disbursed 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 / operating foreign accounts in our
names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money in our names. I
have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in
the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would
transfer the sum of US$31,500,000.00 (Thirty One Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars), hence we are writing you this letter.
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the
beneficiary of this funds on our behalf, you or your company will
retain
30% of the total amount of US$31,500,000.00 (Thirty One Million Five
Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), while 60% will be for us
(members of this panel) and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all
debts/expenses 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, as we have
heard
confirmed cases of business associates running away with funds kept in
their custody when it finally arrive their accounts.
A very good and recent example is the one of Mr. Peter Hopwood, the
President of Mileage Trading and Investment Company at Number 121, West
55th Street, 21st Floor, New York 10022, and former Chairman of OMPADEC
(Mr. Patrick Opia), who we were reliably informed that after the
agreement between both partners in which he was to take 15% of the
money, while the remaining 85% for Nigerian Officials. With all the
required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into his account,
only to be disappointed on their arrival in New York and were informed
that Mr. Peter Hopwood was no longer on that address, while his telephone
and fax numbers have been re-allocated to somebody else. This was how
they lost US$18.5 Million to Mr. Hopwood. This is a very recent story
here in my country and everybody is aware of this, some of the officials
decided to cry out and face the law, because they felt they had lost
too much to a stranger, while the Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick
Opia) is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we are taking all
precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in
our
case. This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based
completely on the following:
(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and
confidentiality.
(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our
share
(60%) on demand after you
have removed your 30% and all expenses have been settled.
(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about
yourself to put our minds at rest.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we
hope
to conclude the business in Seven Bank working days from the date of
receipt of the necessary information and requirement from you.
Acknowledge the receipt of this letter using this email address
>ishrrifet@indiatimes.com<. I will bring you into the complete picture
of
the transaction when I have heard from you.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already
behind schedule for this financial quarter. Thank you and God bless.
Yours faithfully
MONAHANN KADIFF ISHRRIFET
