Dear Sir,
=20
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP =96 STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
=20
Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transactio=
n. This=20
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 appre=
hensive=20
and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be well at the end of th=
e day.=20
We have decided to contact you first by your email due to the urgency of =
this=20
transaction, as we have been reliably informed that it will take at least=
 two to=20
three weeks for a normal post to reach you. So we decided it is best usin=
g the=20
email.
=20
Let me start by first introducing myself properly to you. I am Dr. James =
Amodu,=20
a director general in the Petroleum Ministry and I head a Six-man tender =
board=20
in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals. I came to know of yo=
u in my=20
search for a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential=20
business transaction, which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money =
to a=20
foreign account requiring maximum confidence. My colleagues and I are top=
=20
officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel. Our duties inc=
lude=20
evaluation, vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done for the=20
Petroleum Ministry, etc. In order to commence this business, we solicit f=
or your=20
assistance to enable us transfer into your account the said funds.
=20
The source of this funds is as follows: During the last military regime h=
ere in=20
Nigeria, this committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hun=
dred=20
Million United States Dollars) to five construction firms on behalf of th=
e=20
Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and installation of Oil P=
ipeline=20
from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this process my colleagues and I decid=
ed=20
amongst ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum to=20
US$421,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thous=
and=20
United States Dollars) with the main intention of sharing the remaining s=
um of=20
US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand United States=20
Dollars) amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has since a=
pproved=20
the sum of US$421,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Twenty One Million, Five H=
undred=20
Thousand United States Dollars) for us as the contract sum, and the sum o=
f=20
US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) has also b=
een=20
paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract entitlements for th=
e=20
contract done, but since each of the companies is entitled to US$80,000,0=
00.00=20
only, we are now left with US$21,500,000.00 balance in the account which =
we=20
intend to transfer abroad into a safe and reliable account to be disburse=
d=20
amongst ourselves, but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and m=
embers=20
of this panel, we cannot do this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by th=
e =91Code=20
of Conduct Bureau=92 (Civil Service Laws) from opening / operating foreig=
n=20
accounts in our names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money i=
n our=20
names. I have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my collea=
gues in=20
the panel to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would tra=
nsfer=20
the sum of US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Uni=
ted=20
States Dollars), hence we are writing you this letter.
=20
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the benef=
iciary=20
of this funds on our behalf, you or your company will retain 30% of the t=
otal=20
amount of US$21,500,000.00 (Twenty One Million Five Hundred Thousand Unit=
ed=20
States Dollars), while 60% will be for us (members of this panel) and the=
=20
remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred (bot=
h local=20
and foreign) in the cause of this transfer. Needless to say, the trust re=
posed=20
on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your complete ho=
nesty=20
and trust. You must however, NOTE that this transaction will be strictly =
based=20
on the following terms and conditions as we have stated below, as we have=
 heard=20
confirmed cases of business associates running away with funds kept in th=
eir=20

mple is=20
the one of Mr. Peter Hopwood, the President of Mileage Trading and Invest=
ment=20
Company at Number 121, West 55th Street, 21st Floor, New York 10022, and =
former=20
Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick Opia), who we were reliably informed tha=
t after=20

ney,=20
while the remaining 85% for Nigerian Officials. With all the required doc=
uments=20

pointed=20
on their arrival in New York and were informed that Mr. Peter Hopwood was=
 no=20
longer on that address, while his telephone and fax numbers have been=20
re-allocated to somebody else. This was how they lost US$18.5 Million to =
Mr.=20
Hopwood. This is a very recent story here in my country and everybody is =
aware=20
of this, some of the officials decided to cry out and face the law, becau=
se they=20
felt they had lost too much to a stranger, while the Chairman of OMPADEC =
(Mr.=20
Patrick Opia) is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we are taking =
all=20
precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in our =
case.=20
