Dear Sir, It is my warmest pleasure writing you thisconfidential business letter with a view that you wil laccept my request and give me a positive responsehence time is essence.
I am Olu Williams,Member of Contract Award Committee with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture. By the virtue of our position and the power bestowed on us by the government, we carefully and deliberately over invoiced the value of some contracts that we award to some foreign contractor to the tune o Twenty-Two Million five Hundred Thousand United State Dollars (US$22,500,000 00). Now the contracts have been fully executed and commission and payment are about to be made to all the contractors who have successfully executed their contracts, the over invoiced sum of (US$22,500,000.00) is what we want to transfer out of our country for our own use. Unfortunately, as Civil Servants, we are not permitted by law to operate foreign accounts, this has constituted a major hindrance to our success in transferring this fund out of our country and to this end, my colleagues have mandated me to look for an honest and trust worthy foreign partner who will assist us to provide a foreign account to receive the fund on our behalf for our mutual benefit. Hence we are seeking your assistance. My colleagues and I have agreed that the owner of the account will be compensated with twenty percent (20%), of the total sum if you will stand as the beneficiary of the fund.Eighty percent (80%) for we the officials involved. Note that we have done our home work very well in our country, this transaction is safe and guaranteed 100% risk free. If you are interested please send down to us account information, so that we will immediately seek approval of the fund on your behalf from the relevant authorities,including the federal ministry of finance (F.M.F),which will allocate you and your company foreign exchange cover $22,500.000.00 for the immediate release of this fund into your account by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN). We will visit you immediately we conclude the transaction to collect and invest part of our share into any viable business you may advice in your country. We will also buy industrial goods for a resale here in Nigeria. Please ensure to treat this matter in strict privacy, as we have to protect our job as Civil Servants. I await your urgent response. Yours Faithfully, Olu Williams
