CONFIDENTIAL AND MUTUAL BENEFIT
I am Dr. Efetobor Pryce from Port Harcourt in River State of
Nigeria. I am the Chief Account Officer of Niger Delta Development
Commission of Nigeria (NDDC) custodian of the Nigeria Liquefied
Natural Gas project (NLNG). I obtained your contact through a
reliable source of business information here in my country.
Very recently, we helped a multi-national firm to secure a contract
worth hundreds of million on energy and environment involving our
Commission. Consequently, the firm reciprocated by offering us some
commission in the sum of $9.3million US dollars. This $9.3million US
dollars has been retained at source with a prime bank used by the
government for making payment of the due contract value to the
Contractors. In view of the fact that we are still under the services
of a government agency, it will raise eyebrows if such huge sum of
money is lodged in with any of our local banks in my name. Therefore,
we consider transferring the fund overseas for safekeeping and for
purposes of taking strategic investment and enjoying a stable growth
of profits in your economy since it could be regarded as one of the
biggest in the world. If not the biggest. With my experience in
accounts, I realize that it would be difficult to accomplish this aim
without involving a foreign partner.
This has prompted my colleague and I to seek your confidence to
entrust this money in your care. We know that you are a total
stranger to us but we believe in opening new avenues. We need
somebody we can confide in and with whom we can do future
businesses.
Opportunities abound in our Commission because it was set about some
few years ago.
This transaction is intended to be of our mutual benefit. Therefore,
you will retain 15% of the total consideration. You will assist us to
invest and manage 80% until when we are privileged to take over after
retirement in a few months time from now. The remaining 5% is meant
for the expenditure incur in the course of this transaction. But as soon
as the funds are in your possession, all necessary agreements will be
drown between us for purposes of clarifications and understanding.
We are hopeful to complete this transaction within 14 working days
from when we receive your consent and indication to work with us on
this matter. While we hope that at all reasonable times, you will send
us your confidential phone numbers and fax numbers, we assure you
that we will handle this transaction in harmony with your reputation and
shall keep your association with us in strict confidence.
To accord this transaction the legality it deserves and for mutual
security of the funds,the whole approval procedures will officially and
legally be processed with your name or the name of any company you
may nominate as the bonefide beneficiary. Once more I want you to
understand that having put in over twenty five years in the civil service
of my country,I am averse to having my image and career dented.This
matter should therefore be treated with utmost secrecy and urgency
It deserves.
Kindly expedite action, as we are behind schedule, to enable us include
this transfer in the first batch which would constitute the third
quarter payments for the 2005 financial year.
All necessary detailed information regarding this transaction will be
forwarded to you as soon as I hear from you. Please signify your
intention to assist by sending me email via this same email account or
pryce@nddczone.com
Thank you for the kind attention and please, give my regards to your
family.
Thanks and God Bless.
Dr.Efetobor Pryce.
