Received this today gotta give them points for trying.
Dear Sir,
First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in
this transaction.This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential
and 'top secret'.
You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in
confidence of your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great
magnitude involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum
confidence.
We are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review Panel
who are interested in importation of goods into our country with funds
which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence this
business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your account
the said trapped funds.
The source of this fund is as follows: During the
last Military Regime here in Nigeria, the Government officials set up
companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-
invoiced in various ministries.
The present government set up a Contract Review Panel and we have
identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently floating in the
Central Bank Of Nigeria ready for payment. However, by virtue of
our position as civil servants and members of this
panel, we cannot acquire this money in our names.I have therefore, been
delegated by my other colleagues in the panel tolook for an overseas
partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US
$21,500,000.00 [Twenty-One Million, Five Hundred thousand U.S Dollars.
Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus:
1. 20% for the account owner( you)
2. 70% for us [ Myself and other members of my panel ]
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all
local and foreign expenses direct or incidental to the execution of this
transaction.
It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation
business.Please, note that this transaction is 100% safe and we hope to
commence the transfer latest Ten (10) banking days from the date of the
receipt
of the following information,company's name, Address, Telephone and
Fax number.
The above information will enable us write letters
of claim and job description respectively. This way we will use your
company's name to apply for payment and re-award the contract in your
company's name.
We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your
confidentiality in this transaction.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using the above Email
address.
I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending project when I
have heard from you.
Remember this is a Deal so treat with utmost
confidentiality.
Yours faithfully,
Yinka Davis
