Good day,
I would like to firstly send to you the best wishes of good health and
success in your pursuits particularly through my proposal as contained in
this letter.
Before going into details of my proposal to you, I must first implore you to
treat with the utmost confidentiality as this is required for its success
and to have faith in this transaction, for opportunities like this only
comes to one once in a life time.
My colleagues and I are senior officials of the Federal Government of my
country's Contracts Review Panel (CRP) who are interested in diverting some
funds that are presently floating in the accounts of the Apex Bank of my
country. In order to commence this transaction, we solicit for your
assistance to enable us transfer into your nominated account the said
floating funds.
The source of the funds are as follows: During the last military regim in my
country, government officials set up companies and awarded themselves
contracts that were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries and
parastatals. The present civilian government set up the Contract Review
Panel ( as part of it's anti-corruption policy ), which has the mandate to
use the instruments of payments made available to it by the decree setting
up the panel, to review these contracts and if necessary pay those who are
being owed outstanding amounts.
My colleagues and I have identified quite a huge sum of these funds, which
are presently floating in our (Apex) Central Bank, ready for disbursement
and would like to divert some of it for our own purposes. However, by virtue
of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot
acquire these funds in our names or in the names of companies that are based
in my country. I have therefore been mandated, as a matter of trust by my
colleagues in the panel, to look for a reliable overseas partner into whose
account we can transfer the sum of U.S.$20,500,000.00 (Twenty million, five
hundred thousand U.S. dollars). That is why I am seeking your assistance. We
have agreed to share the money to be transferred into your account, if you
agree with our proposition as follows;
(i) 25% to the account owner (you).
(ii) 65% for us (the panel officials).
(iii) 10% to be used in settling all expenses (by both you and us)
incidental to the actualization of this project.
We wish to invest our share of the proceeds of this project in foreign stock
markets and other viable business till we are ready and able to have access
to them without raising any eyebrows here at home. Please note that this
transaction is 100% safe and risk-free. We intend to effect the transfer
within ten (10) banking days from the date of receipt of the following
information through the fax number stated above: Your company's name,
address, telephone and fax numbers; we will use your company's name to apply
for the payment and backdate the award of the contract in favour of your
company. We are looking forward to doing this transaction with you and we
solicit for your utmost confidentiality in this transaction.
I will bring you into a more detailed picture of this transaction when I
hear from you. Please get in touch through my email address above.
Best regards,
DR.PAUL OKOH.
