Dear Sir,
RE: URGENT & CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
Although this proposal might come to you as a surprise, since it is from
someone you do not know or have seen before, but based on recommendations,I
gathered from a very reliable source here in Nigeria.
I am the director, fund coordinator of the Finance Contract Department of
Nigeria Ports Authority.The crux of this letter is that the finance / contract
department of the NPA deliberatly over-inflated the contract values of variouscontract
awarded.
In the course of disbursement,my office was able to track down the sum of
US$23.5M as the over invoiced sum. This money is now floating in the NPA
domicilliary account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). I and my colleagues
now want to quickly tranfer this fund to a safe nominated foreign account
for possible investment abroad.
We are not allowed as a matter of government policy to operate any foreign
account because of our status as civil / public servants.Hence the need
to solicit for your full banking details,to enable us transfer this money
into your account.
Upon your acceptance of this proposal, we have also agreed on a sharing
ration:
1. 25% for you as the account owner
2. 65% for I and my colleagues
3. 10% will be set aside to defray all incidental expenses both locally
and internationally during the course of this transaction.
Furthermore, we shall be coming over to your country when the money is finally
in your account and we shall be relying on your advise as regards to investment
of our share. be informed that this business is genuine and 100% safe considering
the high powered government officials involved.
Send to my E-mail address:ighobar_77@yahoo.com the following information:
1. Your company name and address, bank name, address and account number
2. Your telephone and fax number for effective communication. This is to
effect the swift transfer of this fund into your account in less than seven
(7) working days.
Contact me strictly on my email address , while looking forward to a healthy
business relationship with you.
Yours faithfully,
DR. IGHO OBARO.
