Dear Sir/Madam,
Firstly, I must solicit your strictest confidentiality in this transaction. This is by virtue of
its nature as being utterly CONFIDENTIAL and “TOP SECRET.” Though I know that a transaction of
this magnitude will make anyone apprehensive and worried, but I am assuring you that all will be
well at the end of the day. We have decided to contact you first by your email due to the urgency
of this transaction we have been reliably informed that it will take at least two to three weeks
for a normal post to reach you. So we decided it is best using the email. Let me start by first
introducing myself properly to you.
I am Dr. IFEANYI UDOH a director general in the Petroleum Ministry and I head a Six-man tender
board in charge of Contracts Awards and payment Approvals. I came to know of you in my search for
a reliable and reputable person to handle a very confidential business transaction and to plan
together which involves the transfer of a huge sum of money to a foreign account requiring maximum
confidence and trustworthy personal.
I and my colleagues are top officials of the Federal Government Contract Review and Award Panel.
Our duties include evaluation, vetting, approval for payment of contract jobs done for the
Petroleum Ministry, etc. In order to commence this business, we solicit for your assistance to
enable us transfer into your account the said funds.
The source of this funds is as follows: During the last Niger-Delta crisis here in Nigeria, this
committee awarded a contract of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred Million United States Dollars) to
five construction firms on behalf of the Petroleum Ministry for the supply, construction and
installation of Oil Pipeline from Warri to PortHarcourt. During this process my colleagues and I
decided amongst ourselves to deliberately over-inflate the total contract sum to US$436,500,000.00
(Four Hundred and Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars) with the main
intention of sharing the remaining sum of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six Million Five Hundred
Thousand United States Dollars) amongst ourselves. The Federal Government of Nigeria has since
approved the sum of US$436,500,000.00 (Four Hundred and Thirty Six Million, Five Hundred Thousand
United States Dollars) for us as the contract sum, and the sum of US$400,000,000.00 (Four Hundred
Million United States Dollars) has also been paid to the foreign contractors concerned as contract
entitlements for the contract done, but since each of the companies is entitled to US$80,000,000.00
only, we are now left with US$36,500,000.00 balance in the account which we intend to transfer
abroad into a safe and reliable personal account or business account to be disbursed amongst
ourselves, but by virtue of our positions as civil servants and members of this panel, we cannot do
this by ourselves, as we are prohibited by the ‘Code of Conduct Bureau’ (Civil Service Laws) from
opening / operating foreign accounts in our names, making it impossible for us to acquire the money
in our names. I have, therefore, been mandated as a matter of trust by my colleagues in the panel
to look for an overseas partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$36,500,000.00
(Thirty Six Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), hence we are writing you this
letter.
My colleagues and I have agreed that if your company can act as the beneficiary of this funds on
our behalf, you or your company will retain 20% of the total amount of US$36,500,000.00 (Thirty Six
Million Five Hundred Thousand United States Dollars), while 70% will be for us (members of this
panel) and the remaining 10% will be used in offsetting all debts/expenses incurred (both local and
foreign) in the cause of this transfer.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return we demand your
complete honesty and trust. You must however, NOTE that this transaction will be strictly based on
the following terms and conditions as we have stated below, as we have heard confirmed cases of
business associates running away with funds kept in their custody when it finally arrive their
accounts. A very good and recent example is the one of Mr. Peter Hopwood, the President of Mileage
Trading and Investment Company at Number 121, West 55th Street, 21st Floor, New York 10022, and
former Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick Opia), who we were reliably informed that after the
agreement between both partners in which he was to take 15% of the money, while the remaining 85%
for Nigerian Officials. With all the required documents signed, the money was duly transferred into
his account, only to be disappointed on their arrival in New York and were informed that Mr. Peter
Hopwood was no longer on that address, while his telephone and fax numbers have been re-allocated
to somebody else. This was how they lost US$18.5 Million to Mr. Hopwood. This is a very recent
story here in my country and everybody is aware of this, some of the officials decided to cry out
and face the law, because they felt they had lost too much to a stranger,
while the Chairman of OMPADEC (Mr. Patrick Opia) is hiding in a foreign country. So right now we
are taking all precautionary measures to guard against re-occurrence of such act in our case.
This is why we have decided that this transaction will be based completely on the following:
(a). Our conviction of your transparent honesty and diligence.
(b). That you would treat this transaction with utmost secrecy and confidentiality.
(c). That upon receipt of the funds, you will promptly release our share (70%) on demand after
you have removed your 20% and all expenses have been settled.
(d). You must be ready to produce us with enough information about yourself to put our minds at
rest.
Please, note that this transaction is 100% legal and risk free and we hope to conclude the
business in Seven Bank working days from the date of receipt of the necessary information and
requirement from you.
Please, acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. I will bring you into the
complete picture of the transaction when I have heard from you.
Your urgent response will be highly appreciated as we are already behind schedule for this
financial quarter.
Thank you and God bless.
Yours faithfully,
Dr. Ifeanyi Udoh.
Ikoye Lagos.
