Attn: Dear Sir,
INVESTMENT PROPOSAL
I am Mr. Myna Felix Senior Accountant, (Accounts/Audit Dept.) of the Mines, Powers and Steel, Headquarter, Abuja. With much sincerity of purpose, I am compelled to intimate you on this mutual business relationship after satisfactory information received on your esteemed person/company from the Foreign Trade Office, Nigerian Nordic Chamber of Commerce, and Industry & Agriculture.
We are as convinced as believing that you will provide us the very needed urgent assistance, hence a viable Bank Account by which we can effect the transfer of funds resulting from number of Amendments (Inflated Contracts) on already completed contracts awarded by our Ministry (on behalf of the ousted Federal Government of Nigeria) and the Foreign Companies.
The projects which include the under-listed were amongst other projects commissioned by the Presidency between 2005/2007 and the very Contractors duly paid. One of the amendments paved the way for the up-ward review of the contracts sum from its original cost of US$250 Million to US$281.500 Million representing an increase of US$31.500 Million. You may as well know that the said surplus sum has long been in the Domiciliary Suspense Account in a London bank, awaiting claims. Furtherance to this, was a recent correspondence to my department from the London Bank, requesting that we furnish them with particulars of claimants for onward payment to beneficiary.
This however, seem to suggest the reason behind our choice of a reliable foreign partner whom we would be fronting as the certified beneficiary of the fund thereby, aiding him/her with the relevant documents to claims. Undoubtedly, the trust reposed on you on this juncture is enormous. In return we have agreed to offer you 25% of the said sum (US$31.500M) while 10% shall be set-aside for any incidental expenses between the parties in the course of the transfer 65% would be for I and other Officials. We would arrange to meet with you in your country for the disbursement of funds on the agreed ratio when the Nigerian money is finally remitted to your bank account and then initiate our investments plans.
JOB TITLE.: The Engineering, Procurement and Construction of
AJAOKUTA STEEL IND. CONTRACT NUMBER; MMPS/FGN/VI233/ALSCON-2/2003,
JOB COMPLETION CERTIFICATE NO;6770024 MMPS/C; issued date 17th October, 2005.
May I at this juncture emphasis the high level of confidentiality which this business demands and hope you will not betray the trust and confidence reposed in you. I would want to assure you that this transaction is 100% risk-free, hence the category of officials that are involved. For confidential reasons do not hesitate in providing us with your telephone lines to enable direct access to communications to expedite transferring money to your bank account.
