Good day,
REQUEST FOR URGENT BUSINESS RELATIONSHIP
We are members of the "Tenders Committee" appointed
by the Federal Government of Nigeria for Contract
Awards/Payment Approvals in the Petroleum Trust Fund
(PTF). Our duties include evaluation, vetting
approvals for payment of contract executed for the
PTF.
On the 10th of January, 1998, this Committee awarded a
contract of $628.6 Million United States Dollars to
the consortium of Abb lummus, J.G.C.Corporation of
Japan, Bouygues Offshore and a joint venture of
Spiebatignoles and Fouguerolle, for an engineering,
procurement and construction work in Nigeria.
My colleagues and I decided to inflate the contract
sum to the tune of $628.6M with the intention of
sharing the remaining $28.6M among ourselves. The
Federal Government of Nigeria has since approved the
sum of $628.6M for the concerned foreign companies as
full payment for the contract executed. But since each
of the companies are entitled to $150M, we intend to
transfer the remaining $28.6M abroad into a safe and
reliable account to be disbursed among ourselves.
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company
can act as the beneficiary of this fund ($28.6M) you
and your company will retain 20% of the total amount
while 75% will be for us and the remaining 5% will be
used to offset any expenses incurred by both sides
during the course of the transfer.
It took us two years to finetune all the preparations
for this transaction to meet all legal and inistrative
requirements in Nigeria and those of International
Arbitration. It is imperative that this transaction is
carried out within the shortest banking period, taking
into cognizance the present existence of a new regime
whose policy may affect this secretly domant funds.
Therefore, we require from you the following by fax:
i. Your company name ii. Company Address
iii. Bank name and address iv. Account number and
account name (if any)
v. Your telephone and fax numbers and any other
relevant information you
may consider helpful.
With the above information, we will use your company
name to re-award the contract, put up the letters of
claims and apply for payment.
Please be informed that the personalities involved in
this transaction are Top and influential government
functionaries who will not like any form of exposure
and as such would want you to keep this business
highly confidential. Be rest assured that this
transaction is 100% risk free on both sides.
We are looking forward to doing this business with
you. Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter
using this email in replying me with a title "Business
Only" while maintaining maximum confidentiality.
I shall bring you into the complete picture of this
transaction on receipt
of your response.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Tope Ibrahim |
