STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

Attn: Sir/Madam 

Complements of the season. I am Dr. APARI ARIBATAN Chief Accountantwith the River Basin Authority
and Chairman Contract award and appraisal committee. Iwant to solicit your assistance in this 
regards.
In my ministry as Chairman of the contract award committee,
there are some over-invoiced sum of money from contracts  which we deliberately over inflated.
The original contractor has since been fully paid of their contract sum, leaving behind the over
inflated sum of $25,000,000 million dollars (Twenty Five Million United States Dollars). Mark up
 
This amount is now floating in our reserved account. I am therefore soliciting for your kind
assistance to provide an account into which this amount can be transfered. Myself as a Civil 
servant, it is
against the code of conduct bureau in my country for a civil servant to operate foreign account.
 
We can use your existing account,private or company's account,or you open a new account, Hence,
I am asking you to provide an account that will accommodate this funds.The information needed for
the smooth running of this deal is listed bellow:
1. Your Bank Name and Address
2  Your Bank Account Number
3  The Name of the Beneficiary of the Account 
 
and if there is any sorting codes for your account please give details.  
Upon receipt of your bank particulars, the transaction will
be concluded within 10 banking working days.
 
We have unanimously agreed to give you 20% of the total sum for providing an account into which the
money will be credited and 10% will be set aside for bank taxes and other miscellaneous expenses 
that
will be incurred by both sides in the course of the transfer of the money and the remaining 70%  is
for me and members of the committee. 
 
I will send my wife and one official to come to your country to take care of our share as soon as
remittance of the money is effected. This is the area where your assistance will be highly needed, 
as
they cannot come back to my country with physical cash.  The greater part of our share will be
invested on importation of building materials,and i will lik to go into hotel business by buying
houses.,importation of general goods,or as you may advise under your watchful supervision. 
This transaction is 100% risk free as all the modalities has been carefully worked out. And also all
the relevant documents related to the transaction will be removed from file as soon as your account
is
credited and cashed so that there will be no trace.
 
I will also need an assurance from you that you will not sit on our own share if it eventually gets
into your account because this is a life time opportunity for me as I am not a signatory to your
account. Please be honest.
 
Note: This transaction is not subject to broad discussion with anybody no matter how close the
person is to you because of the integrity of the officials that are involved here. You should not 
even
inform your bank yet that you are expecting money from
Cotonou as the money will first be transfered to our correspondence bank in Europe for further
crediting to your designated bank account. Please keep to this warning.
 
If this amount is too much to be transfered to your bank account at oncei.e if your account cannot
carry so much money at once, please indicate how much that your account can take.We can then 
transfer
it in bits. Waiting for your urgent reply.
