Lagos, Nigeria.
Attention: The President/CEO</p>
Dear Sir,</p>
Confidential Business Proposal</p>
Having consulted with my colleagues and based on the information
gathered from the Nigerian Chambers Of Commerce And Industry, I
have the privilege to request your assistance to transfer the sum
of $47,500,000.00 (forty seven million, five hundred thousand United
States dollars) into your accounts. The above sum resulted from
an over-invoiced contract, executed, commissioned and paid for
about five years (5) ago by a foreign contractor. This action was
however intentional and since then the fund has been in a suspense
account at The Central Bank Of Nigeria Apex Bank.</p>
We are now ready to transfer the fund overseas and that is where
you come in. It is important to inform you that as civil servants,
we are forbidden to operate a foreign account; that is why we require
your assistance. The total sum will be shared as follows: 70% for
us, 25% for you and 5% for local and international expenses incidental
to the transfer.</p>
The transfer is risk free on both sides. I am an accountant with
the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC). If you find
this proposal acceptable, we shall require the following documents:</p>
(a) your banker's name, telephone, account and fax numbers.</p>
(b) your private telephone and fax numbers —for confidentiality
and easy communication.</p>
(c) your letter-headed paper stamped and signed.</p>
Alternatively we will furnish you with the text of what to type
into your letter-headed paper, along with a breakdown explaining,
comprehensively what we require of you. The business will take
us thirty (30) working days to accomplish.</p>
Please reply urgently.</p>
Best regards</p>
Sunday Nkemdiche</p>
