Dear Sir, First,i must solicit your confidence in this transaction.This is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and classified.I got your e-mail address from our business contact in London,as i wiil want to immediately put your mind to rest in that regard.I therefore apologise for infringing on your privacy. We are top officials of the federal government of Nigeria Contract Review Panel,and due to our very membership of this panel,we are privy to the information i want to reveal to you in trust and confidence as obtains in the urgent business relationship we solicit for. We crave for your indulgence for total confidentiality. We are interested in the importation of goods into our country with funds,which are presently trapped in this same country,Nigeria,.In order to commence this business,we solicit your assistance in the area of freeing the said trapped funds and ultimately your RECEIPT and CUSTODIAN of these funds abroad. Explicitly,the source of this fund is as follows:During the regime of our late Head of State,General Sani Abacha(He died five years ago),the then government officials set up private companies and lobbied the award of contracts to their companies,these contract were grossly over-invoiced in various ministries.Fortunately,the NEW CIVILIAN Government set up a contract review panel(C.R.P.)where we hold exalted designations and we have succesfully identified several inflated contract funds,which are presently floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria(C.B.N). We desire to release a particular contract fund from the very several,but due to our position as civil servants and members of this contract review panel,we cannot acquire this fund in our names and without a much needed foreign assitance.I have therefore been delegated as a matter of trust by my colleagues to source for an overseas partner INTO whose BANK ACCOUNT the sum of $21,000,000.00(Twenty one million U.S. Dollars) being the contract funds of a particular contract)will be paid by TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER,hence this written request. We propose a sharing ratio upon the success of this transaction as thus: .70 percent for us .20 percent for the foreign partner(you) .10 percent to be used in settling taxation and local and foreign expenses incurred by all parties involved during the course of this transaction. Please note that this transaction is 100 percent safe and we hope that the funds can arrive your Bank Account within fourteen(14) bank working days from the date of receipt of the following details:A suitable name and a corresponding bank account into which the funds can be paid. The above information will enable us write letter of claim and job description respectively.This way,we will use your company's name(or as applicable)to prepare the necessary documentary foundation and apply for payments and re-award the contract in your company name. We are looking forward to doing business with you and solicit your confidentiality in this transaction. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter stating your telephone and fax numbers so that i can bring you into the complete picture of this pending project as soon as possible.My fax number is 44-870-1330310 as i am presently in London.
