Subject: BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
Dear Sir,
BUSINESS PROPOSAL.
We write to seek for your cooperation as our foreign partner and your
assistance to enable us to Transfer and invest in the stable economy
of your country. After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to
forward to you this business proposal, we want you to assist us
receive the sum of Thirty Two Million, Fifty Three Thousand United
State Dollars Only ($32.053M) into your account.
This fund resulted from an over-invoiced contract awarded by the
Nigerian National Petroleum Cooperation (NNPC) for the laying of high
pressure petroleum pipeline and the turnaround maintenance of Kaduna
Refinery conducted recently with contract number
NNPC-PED/KAD.063/WR.EL/12.2012 and the bill was approved for payment
by the concerned ministries. The contract was executed, commissioned
and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the contract.
Now, we are left with the balance of $32,053m as the over invoiced
amount, which we have deliberately over estimated for our own use.
Please note that the law forbids civil servants to operate or own
foreign accounts hence this contact, we have agreed to share the money
in the following percentages: 30 for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may
be required by your government, because we dont need anything that
will delay this money when it arrive in your bank account.
Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk
hence the business was carefully planned before it was successfully
executed and we the officials involved in the deal have put many years
in service to the cooperation and to the service of our country. We
have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long not until
the presidential announcement last week, that all foreign contractors
owed be paid forthwith, this will enable the presidency reconcile our
debt ratio with the outside world and to most of us, this is a
lifetime blessing we cannot afford to miss.
Upon indication of your interest to fully co-operate with us, a
pro-forma invoice will be sent to you via email for you to transcribe
on your letter headed paper for submission.
Note that the following information will be needed immediately from
you via this email, your full name, address and your private phone
number will enable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the
concerned government offices/ministries within 3-4 working days.
As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank
account, my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange
for our own share and possibly invest part of this money in your
country.
Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction.
Best regards.
Engr. Gilbert DOWA.
