REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE IN A FINANCIAL TRANSACTION

I am making this contact with you based on trust and confidence I have for you, your Company and God irrespective of the fact that we have not met before and because of the nature of the business I am about to introduce to you, I want to remain positive having the faith, the will and convincing myself that you will be interested and capable to do business with me. This business proposal I wish to intimate you with is of mutual benefit and it’s success is entirely based on mutual trust, cooperation and a high level of confidentiality as regard this transaction.

I am the Chairman of the contract Advisory Committee (CAC) of the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Works and Housing (FMWH). I am seeking your assistance to enable me transfer the sum of US$17,000,000.00 (Seventeen million United States Dollars) into your private/company account.

The fund came about as a result of a contract awarded and executed on behalf of my Ministry, the Federal Ministry of Works and Housing. The contract was supposed to be awarded to two foreign contractors to the tune of US$60,000,000.00 (Sixty Million United States Dollars). But in the course of negotiation, the contract was awarded to a Bulgarian contractor at the cost of US$43,000,000.00 (Forty-Three Million United States Dollars) to my benefit unknown to the contractor. This contract has been satisfactorily executed and inspected as the Bulgarian firm is presently securing payment from my Ministry, where I am the Executive Director in-charge of all foreign contract payment approval.

As a civil servant still in active government service, I am forbidden by law to operate an account outside the shores of Nigeria. Hence this message to you seeking your assistance so as to enable me present your private/company account details as a beneficiary of contractual claims alongside that of the Bulgarian contractor, to enable me transfer the difference of US$17,000,000.00 (Seventeen Million United States Dollars) into your provided account.

On actualization, the fund will be disbursed as stated below.

1. 30% of the fund will be for you as beneficiary

2. 10% for reimbursement to both parties for incidental expenses that may be incurred during the course of the transaction.

3. 60% of the fund will be for me which I intend to invest in your country with you as my partner. 

All logistics are in place and all modalities worked out for a smooth actualization of the transaction within the next few working days of commencement. For further details as to the workability of this transaction, please respond by return mail on my confidential Email : 
Thank you and God bless as I'm anxiously waiting for your urgent response. Please when replying, indicate your confidential Tel and Fax numbers & provide a company name you would like us to use in applying for payment for urgent conclusion of the transaction.
